ON THE DEATH OF SIR R. ABERCROMBIE.
Supposed by Mr. Capel Loft.
How should a veteran wish to die? Where should his scar worn body lie? Not upon the pale sick bed, Where weak limb'd infants droop the head, Where Apoplexy's temple swims, And coward Palsy lays his limbs, An aged woman yeild their breath, Without a struggle unto death. Who in his life-time liv'd with glory, He should die, and make a story, By the foe-man's bloody hands, Fighting 'mid the armed bands, Where heaps of slain compose a pile, To draken all the land of Nile. In age's honor, conquest's pride, E'en so great Abercrombie died. With Afric Europe joins her groans, And Malta keeps the hero's bones: Malta, still famous for the tomb Of brave knights slain for Christendom. I will not blame the humantear, O baronefs of Abourki! There is a tear in virtue's eye, Which pride of titles cannot dry; Nor stateliest funeral exequies, Nor a nation's plandities; Nor the tears of Christendom, Weep upon thy dear Lord's tomb; Nor thy blood and names augmented, With what the heralds have invented, Of founding pedigree and state, To soften o'er the wounds of Fate.

FLAX SEED. The highest price given for Flax Seed. A. Smith & Son. (a 5 d)
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19.
By London papers to the 1st of July inclusive, brought by the ship Delaware, we learn that parliament does not appear to be engaged in business of much interest. The latest French papers received in England contained no information of consequence. Buonaparte was visiting the French ports upon the channel. He had been at Boulogne, and was supposed to have arrived at Calais. The gallant Sir Sidney Smith was in the channel, and it was presumed would at least salute the first consul for the purpose of renewing the acquaintance so happily formed at Acre.
Summary of Intelligence.
An active correspondence was carrying on between the Courts of London, Petersburg and Paris, through the mediation of the Russian Ministers at London and Paris; but in England, they did not expect Peace to be the result.
The French army was in entire possession of Hanover and its dependencies—all expectations of an interference from the Northern Powers, as to the affairs of Hanover, the Hanse towns and the Elbe, had vanished, and England began to view their intentions with some degree of suspicion, as being hostile to her interests. Certain it was, that a considerable Russian armament was fitting out with great activity.
The Batavian Ambassador had left England, and letters of marque and general reprisal were issued against the Republic. Mr. Liston and family had arrived from the Hague, and was to go out immediately on an extraordinary embassy to Copenhagen. The Duke of Cambridge had arrived in England, and was appointed Lieut. Gen. in the army, being the same rank which he held in Hanover. An expedition was confidently spoken of, to be sent from Malta, to reoccupy Alexandria. An immediate attack was expected to be made by the French on the islands of Jersey and Guernsey: five frigates had been dispatched for their protection. Great exertions were making in all the channel ports of France, to fit out gun boats. The packet boats continued to run between England and France. It is stated that in one of these, 20 cases of garden seeds went from Dover for Madame Buonaparte! The First Consul had issued orders to the privateers and ships of war to detain all English passengers and seamen, even out of neutral vessels. The French funds were at 48.
Vast numbers of homeward bound French and Dutch vessels, with rich cargoes, had been captured by the English. The number sent into Plymouth only, was 105, the computed value of which, was a million and a half.
Defensive preparations were making with great activity all along the channel coast. Forty thousand supplementary Militia were to be immediately drafted and trained, under the title of the army of reserve. Substitutes were at from 15l. to 20l. per man. The ministers' contract for the new loan, was considered as very advantageous. For a day or two the Omnim was at a premium of one per cent, in the market—then fell to disc. and proceeded to 4 per cent. discount. Great fears were entertained for the contractors on the day that the first instalment became payable. It was paid however, with promptness, after which the Om. bore a better price.—On the 22d of June it was at 2 per cent. disc. The Minister had rejected the terms offered for the New Lottery, and declared that if a better price was not offered by the parties, he would raise the supplies in another way. The East India company had expressed their intention of opposing the extravagant new duty proposed to be laid on teas.
A great degree of unanimity appears to prevail amongst the people of England in support of the war. The late abundant rains gave a prospect of a good harvest all through the country. The price of bread was 9d per quarter loaf. Barley and potatoes very low. Port Wine, in consequence of the new duty, had risen from 4s to 5s the bottle, and other wines in proportion.
Mr. Tierney had gained his election for the borough of Southwark. Sir Thomas Turton had demanded a scrutiny. Mrs. Pope, the actress, died suddenly. Her death supposed to be occasioned by a fit of apoplexy, with which she was seized while playing for Mr. Cooper's benefit.
Extract of a letter from New York, dated August 17.
The ship Delaware, Captain Beebe, arrived this morning from Liverpool. Her letters and papers are to the 2d July. The following is a letter received by a mercantile house here, dated the 1st July.
"We have now to advise, that in consequence of the situations the French have occupied at the mouth of the Elbe and Weser, prevent our ships from occupying the same, our government has declared both rivers to be in a state of blockade against all shipping whatever, until Prussia shall guarantee the accustomed freedom of trading to Hamburg, and the other towns on their banks. What effect this determined measure may produce, it is impossible to foresee; but meanwhile all business is put a stop to, and nothing has been doing for some time past in sugar, coffee, or the West India articles."
"Notice.—His Britannic Majesty has judged it expedient to establish the most rigorous blockade at the entrance of the mouth of the river Elbe, and to maintain and enforce the same in the strictest manner, according to the usages of war, acknowledged and allowed in similar cases."
"JAMES MAURY."
"American Consulate, Liverpool, July 1, 1803."
"To Capt. Beebe of the ship Delaware."
From Liverpool July 2.
"By a late decree of the French government, all merchandise shipped in this country, is prohibited from being landed in France, and accounts are just received, that the mouth of the Elbe, is blockaded by the British, and no vessel, of whatever country, permitted to enter or to go out of that river; the demand in consequence, for sugar, coffee, and other export produce is nearly suspended; and unless a vent is soon opened in some port on the continent, to carry off the produce, which is now accumulating, we fear, that the stagnation which will be put to this branch of our trade, added to the consequent scarcity of money, will operate unfavorably on the prices; but if we find other convenient ports for the sale of export produce, it is likely the present quotations will be maintained."
"Immediately after the commencement of hostilities, grain and flour advanced in price; but as it is generally believed, that there is a larger stock of grain in the country than has been for some years at the same season, and the growing corn being considerable in quality, and thus far promoting in appearance most articles of provisions have declined in price.—Good American wheat may be quoted at from 8s 3d to 8s 6d per 70lb. but as several of our mills cannot at present work, owing to the light winds and scarcity of water, there is no demand for it. Flour in consequence of this, is in demand at 33s. per barrel; this a very low price, but we do not expect any advance, unless the light winds and drought should continue for a length of time, or that we should have unfavorable weather for the growing corn."
"The permission to import grain and flour free of duty, which has now ceased and the old corn laws again took effect on the 1st instant. The permission however is extended with respect to beef and pork, which may be imported free of duty till the 30th of September next."
"Pot and pearl ashes, in consequence of some speculations, experienced an advance during last month; but the demand has now ceased, and prices seem rather on the decline."
"The suspension of the export trade to the continent of Europe, materially affects cotton, and the sales for some time past have been very limited; Upland Georgias may be quoted at 12 a 12 1/2 per lb. fine qualities may be considered rather more valuable, but there are few fine Uplands in the market, the late importations being generally inferior."
An act has just been passed for consolidating the import duties which occasions some alteration, and these shall be noticed in our next prices current. Which we intend to send you in a few days. We may also mention that a bill is now before Parliament for imposing additional duties upon several articles of importation, and likewise an export duty of 3 per cent.—Probably the bill may undergo some alteration, and it is not therefore necessary for us to mention the particulars of it, but when it has passed, we hope duly to inform you; among the new duties proposed is one of 1d. per lb. on Cotton Wool imported.
From Gibraltar Capt. Swett, arrived at Boston the 12th inst. in 45 days from Gibraltar informs, that passports had been granted by the American Commodore, and the Consuls at Gibraltar, and Tangiers, permitting a Tripolitan ship to sail under Moorish colours, as a Moorish ship, and her Tripolitan papers were left sealed up in the care of Mr. Gavino. She was manned with 8 Moors, and bound for Tunis; and the Tripolitan capt. was permitted to take passage in her. On her way up she stopped at Gibraltar and took in more men, with whose assistance the capt. overpowered the Moors, and were going into Tripoli; when she was met, and captured by the U. S. frigate John Adams, and sent into Malta.
An English merchantman arrived at Gibraltar a few days previous to Capt. S's sailing, and reported that she had spoken 6 Tripolitan cruizers in the Gulf of Venice.
Many neutrals had been brought in, on suspicion. Among them the Randal, a valuable ship from the Isle of France, and several vessels from St. Domingo.
Alexandria Advertiser.
Monday, August 22.
Mr. Richardson's address to the friends of T. W. Peyton, shall appear to-morrow.
While Genet was planting the tree of mischief in the peaceable soil of the United States in the year 1793, he was worshipped by the deluded democrats. The Eagle of America had no sooner stoop the crowing of this Gallic cock, than that gentle race of our fellow citizens became loud in their abuse of the man who had rescued them from the machinations of France. At a civic feast of French and American citizens, on the 6th of February, 1794, among a number of toasts, nearly as wicked as some which disgraced the last anniversary of our independence, was the following:
"The persecuted Citizen Genet; may his country reward his honest zeal, and the shafts of calumny, levelled against him, recoil upon the archer."
Washington was the archer—whose arrow hit the citizen; and thereby averted a curse upon our land, by exterminating the bloody system of Robespierre, which he was then introducing amongst us.
The second part of that composition of anarchy, called "The Rights of Man," was dedicated to the Marquis La Fayette, who was then, it seems, the idol of its blasphemous author. In less than twelve months afterwards the virtuous Thomas Paine assisted in passing an act of condemnation against that unfortunate General; and soon after became the principal instrument in passing of another act, by which his innocent wife and children were left without bread to eat. Should Thomas Jefferson offend Thomas Paine, we may look for another act of gratitude. Things more unlikely have happened; vide the charges of Callender against the Philosopher of Monticello.
Late accounts from Paris intimate that Bonaparte is disordered in his intellects. As Hamlet says, "there needs no ghost to tell us that," since the convincing symptoms at his levee to Lord Whitworth. How many instances do we read of, in the derangement of men who were suddenly elevated to situations they were never intended by nature to sustain.
THE THEATRE.
The favorite comedy of "Speed the Plough," was performed on Thursday evening, and, we are sorry to observe, to a very thin audience.
The merits of this comedy, added to the manner in which it was performed, deserved more general attention—there was much to commend and but little to censure.
The return of Mrs. Green, after a long sickness, must be gratifying to the theatrical amateurs. Her performance was chaste and correct.
Mr. Bernard, one of the best comic actors in America, did not appear to us to hit off his part so very successfully, as we were in the habit of observing. Though long on the Bath theatre, he had not the true Zummersitshire dialect. The author has written, and the clowns in that part of the country say, Dom, and not Damn,

and they pronounce much broader, as it is termed, than Mr. Bernard, but, perhaps, he thought it a necessary deviation, before an American audience.
Mr. Story labored thro' the arduous part of Bob Handy, with some credit because he was perfect, but the character is not in his line of acting.
To Mr. Hopkins, we must ever offer the tribute of praise, while he performs as on Thursday. To see, a very youth, hit off the manners of old age so successfully, is a sort of theatrical phenomenon—while his wife, with still fewer years of practice, is the delight of the audience.
Mr. Green's condescension in the part of a servant, upon a message, was highly to his credit, and while it was an excellent lesson to understrappers, who often from carelessness create disgust, in the repetition of half a dozen lines, it shewed his respect to the audience, and the interest he takes in the credit of the stage.
Mr. Clare must, at least, "get his part by heart," ere we can say a word in his favor.

A Commercial friend has put into our hands, several letters from a respectable house in Liverpool. One of the 25th of June says,
"Advices from Holland, &c. continue to quote advancing prices, much more than equal to our last quotation; and we doubt not therefore but means will be hit upon to transport such articles thither, from hence, notwithstanding, war is declared with the Batavian republic—prices of sugar, coffee, &c. are mean time, however almost nominal. Dye woods continue to be wanted for home consumption, and Honduras logwood by British ships commands from 26 to 27l. Campeachy 28l. Fustic 20 to 22l. 10s. prices of Mahogany likewise keep steady. Cotton is affected by the pressure of the times which occasions a general scarcity of money, as well as stagnation in trade, but which may prove only temporary—most holders still ask the late prices for their cottons. Nothing is doing in wheats, we cannot quote it at more than 8s 3d to 8s 9d per 70 lbs. for New York, from 34s to 35s for superfine flour. Rice being high on the continent, looks up here, and is worth 36 to 38s per cwt, free of duty or export, Ashes also rather improve, say pot 43 to 46s, and pearl 49 to 53s per cwt. Naval stores are much as last quoted—Staves of good quality are scarce and in great request, say bbl. 10. 10. to 18l. 18s. hhd. 22 to 28l. and pipe 30 to 35l. per M."
(Ame. Dai. Adv.)
The associates of Gallatin know well that they owe their elevation, in a degree, to the dexterous and successful manner in which his jargon was metamorphosed into eloquent speeches. They know that the public were led astray by the delusion, that he possessed all the essential qualities which entitled a man to private esteem and public applause. The cunning and jesuiticalness of his life, afford but few opportunities to approach his character with offensive severity. His fellow labourers were better known. They had no pretensions to Messiah-ship. They knew that their schemes could not be effected without the establishment of a sect, who, guided and influenced altogether by their
faith, would not only forego the holy attributes of truth and reason; but would be as well satisfied with a jargon, which they did not understand, as the Roman Catholics are with the latin dogmas which are repeated by the priests. It was this blind and misleading faith, which attached to Gallatin a popularity which has led to democratic success; and so great has been the deluding effect, that even Mr. Jefferson, with all the advantages of his station, power, personal popularity, and office, did not venture to exercise his own judgment. Public justice was sacrificed at the altar of necessity, and individual convenience. From one end of the continent to the other, public expectation was turned towards a Gallatin as the successor of a Wolcott , though from opposite causes. The most influential men of the prevailing party know these truths, and altho' there are not two who can disagree, yet they durst not avow it, because by doing so, they would destroy one of the pillars upon which their own power and popularity depends; they would, by the same act, either acknowledge, that they had been deceived, which would weaken their own tottering fabric, or else that they had given to a stranger, an intriguers, a declaimer, and an upstart, a false popularity for the most fraudulent purposes. ( Anti Demo. )
It can hardly be forgotten what clamors were raised against the last administration, because Mr. Adams occasionally in the summer season took a trip to the place of his residence, although he always left a majority of the heads of departments at the seat of government, to attend to the public business. The people were then told the negligence of their officers, and of the shameful practice of receiving the public money, and doing nothing for it. Men who could thus abandon their posts, were unworthy of public trust. How stands the account now? The pure and unspotted " Republicans " of the present day, can never be guilty of what they formerly so pointedly condemned? We have been repeatedly assured that they never neglect their business. There are at present absent from the seat of government, the following officers, some of them for months, and all for weeks past, except the Comptroller of the Treasury, who held out till a few days ago.
Thos. Jefferson, President of the United States—James Madison, Secretary of State—Albert Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury—H. Dearborn, Man of War—R. Smith, Secretary of the Navy—J. Munroe, Superintendent of the City and Deputy Post Master—Levi Lincoln, Attorney General—Gideon Granger, Post Master General—Gabriel Duval, Comptroller of the Treasury—J. Simmons, Accountant of the War Department—A. Turner, Accountant of the Navy Department; with many more inferior officers and Clerks.
Their anxiety to have the constitution changed, as to the mode of electing the President, very naturally accounts for their absence, but the people are to judge whether they pay salaries to their officers, for the purpose of electioneering.
For some days past it is said, that the government has been paying a commission to the postmaster for letters, because there was no one here to frank them. The Treasurer, who has a right to frank for his department only, has nevertheless broken the law and franked for the State department. The post-master with great propriety, more observant of his duty arrested the letters.—Thus we see that even democrats, who are high in office too, don't mind breaking the law, when it interferes with their views. The last mail has removed the embarrassment in the department of state, as it brought "franked" a trunk containing blank franks from the Secretary of State.
This shews us how the world goes—Under the last administration, it was criminal for a single officer to remove from the seat of government. The very men who then condemned with so much bitterness, now leave the government without a single Councillor, to superintend the public business. ( Wash. Fed. )
THE ABBE SIEYES.
THIS man has lived through all the disasters of the French revolution, and has acted a part in almost every faction that has in its turn governed the great nation. The singular fate of the abbe proves that he is either very harmless, or, what is more probable, that he possesses the greatest facility in changing his creed, and that as he finds one wave of public opinion break-
ing under him, can very dexterously shift himself to the next.
When Mr. Burke wrote upon the revolution, Sieyes was filling his "pigeon holes" with new constitutions for his country; he has escaped amidst all the convulsions that have since taken place, and it is not recollected whether he is now one of the cyphers of the consulate, or is retired, again to stuff his "pigeon holes" with constitutions. The following anecdote shows that he is "wiser in his generation" than almost all his associates.
A foreigner in France called at a shop where such things were usually sold, to purchase the prints of the most conspicuous actors in the revolution. The man shook his head, while he ran over the list, and then said, that having preferred his liberty to his property, he had destroyed all his prints successively, as the originals became proscribed, or were sacrificed.—"At the accession of a new party, (continued he) I always prepare for a visit, clear my windows and shelves of the exploded heads, and replace them by those of their rivals. Nay, I assure you since the revolution, our trade is become as precarious as that of a gamster. The constitutionalists, indeed, held out pretty well, but then I was half ruined by the fall of the Brissotins; and before I could retrieve a little by the Herbertists and Dantonists, they too, were out of fashion." "Well, but the Robespierrians; you must have gained by them?"—Why, true: Robespierre and Marat answered well enough; yet they are gone after the rest. Here, however (says he, taking down an engraving of the Abbe Sieyes) here is a piece of merchandise that I have kept through all parties, religions and constitutions, and now you see him in fashion again, mounted on the wrecks and supported by the remnants of both his friends and enemies; Oh! he's a knowing one."

CASES OF CURES—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthmas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumptions.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henly, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper, he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the disease peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lying in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Looseness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weakness,  Involuntary emissions,    Samual weakness,  Obligate gleet,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease, if you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows: namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when
seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.
S worn and subscribed before Ebenezer Forster, Esq. one of the justices of the peace to Philadelphia County.
HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and form contractions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or gripping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion. Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowliness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mucus but upon close inspection quit repealed
with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine's purging property, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
JOHN MOTHER.
