The United States of America. To all whom these LETTERS PATENT shall come:
WHEREAS, NICHOLAS BOUREAU, hath alledged that he has invented a new and useful improvement, called Bureau's Economical House and Ship Steam Kitchen .
These are therefore to grant according to law, to the said NICHOLAS BOUREAU, his heirs, administrators, or assigns, for the term of fourteen years, from the Thirtieth day of the present month of August, the full and exclusive right and liberty of making, constructing, using, and vending to others to be used, the said improvement, a description whereof is given in the words of the said Nicholas Boureau himself, in the schedule hereto annexed, and is made a part of these presents.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have caused these Letters to be made Patent, and the Seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed.
GIVEN under my hand, at the City of Washington this Thirtieth day of August, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and two, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the Twenty Seventh.

BY THE PRESIDENT.
JAMES MADISON, Secretary of State.
City of Washington, TO WIT:— I DO HEREBY CERTIFY, That the foregoing Letters Patent, were delivered to me on the Thirtieth day of August, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and two, to be examined; that I have examined the same, and find them conformable to law. And I do hereby return the same to the Secretary of State, within fifteen days from the date aforesaid, to wit:—On this Thirtieth day of August, in the year aforesaid.
LEVI LINCOLN, Attorney General of the United States.
THE SCHEDULE referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same, containing a description in the words of the said Nicholas Boureau himself of his improvement, called Bureau's Economical House and Ship Steam Kitchen .
The formation of this Kitchen is upon the principle and form of a Ten Plated Stove, constituted in a particular manner to suit for baking Bread, and all kinds of Pastry, as also for roasting Meat, Fowls, &c. as effectually as before an open fire, by means of a spit traversing the internal, or oven part, so constructed as to be turned at pleasure, with stops at the distance of two inches by which means the Meat will be equally done—attached to this Baking Stove, is a copper Cylinder-Boiler, which is acted upon by the fire of the stove, so contrived that by means of a tin pipe attached thereto, and extended to any direction or situation in the kitchen, house or ship, any number of dishes of meat or vegetables are separately and completely boiled in less time than is usually done in water, retaining all their juices and flavor by means of the steam conveyed by the pipe, out of the boiler, and introduced into suitable Tin-Kettles made for the purpose with suitable tubes by means of a number of cocks, which may at pleasure be opened and shut, the stove and boiler may be constructed upon a larger or smaller scale, say the boiler from five to thirty six gallons according to the size of the kitchen, house or ship where they may be used, and one fire answers for all the operations of baking, cooking, &c. The saving of fuel in some parts is a considerable object. The steam kitchen is admirably adapted to large ships on long voyages, in addition to cooking any number of dishes at the same time, and in the different departments, the pipe conveying the steam from the boiler, will also warm in winter the cabin and births in the ship, and by means of the boiler, fresh water may be extracted and distilled out of sea water, by the evaporation of the steam in quantity sufficient to answer the purpose of cooking as also for drinking, when the stock should be exhausted. By an experiment I have made at New York, I have with a boiler of 29 gallons, extracted one gallon of fresh water from that taken out of the East River, in one hour, and with half the fuel usually applied in cooking. In armies, barracks, and hospitals the Steam Kitchen may be applied to very great advantage, one Kitchen with a moderate fire will boil the provisions for a regiment. Is portable, and may be removed by the exertion of a single Horse, with the same ease as a travelling forge. In barracks and hospitals, the Stove and boiler would be particularly useful, in addition to the baking and
boiling, a number of various and different dishes at the same time, it will answer to warm or heat any room or apartment proposed by conveying the steam out of the boiler through a tin pipe into a tin receiver of adequate size, by which means also, and upon the same principle, a hot bath may be prepared in a short time. Before my removal from New York to Alexandria I have fully tested by actual experiments the several uses herein mentioned, by a Kitchen Stove and Boiler. I have erected, and am happy to find by the result that every object thereby intended will be obtained, and that not only the wealthy, but also the poor, from the great saving of fuel, will be greatly benefited.

On a new trial made the 9th inst. in presence of several persons of this town, thirteen gallons of brine, egg proof, produced nine gallons of drinkable water, while my dinner was cooking. By means of a worm at one inch bore I have distilled at the rate of a gallon and a half an hour, which I am ready to prove on board any vessel, the owner of which permitting me to cook my provisions at my own expense; and if my caboufe, or kitchen shall be thought convenient, the owner of such vessel may have it at first cost, which I compute will be from 120 to 130 dollars.
Having obtained a patent for fourteen years, any person infringing my right may be certain of being prosecuted—half the damages recovered will be paid to the informer, with a certainty of having his name kept secret.

Latest Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, July 7.
The first Consul has not till lately shown a disposition to partake of any pleasures. Much pains have been taken to induce him to enter into some amusements; and the Minister (Talleyrand) has been heard to say, that if they could not find out a method of employing him for six hours a day, France would be undone.
In uniformity with the above principle he has at length been brought to pursue the sports of the Field; that is forty boars, a few hares, and three stags, has been transplanted into the forest of Marli for his diversion. But a circumstance, which has excited a considerable sensation at Paris, is the that celebrated manuscript, which contained the different regulations of the Royal Chase for Louis XVI. and from which a leaf had been torn for several years, has been actually replaced within the last fortnight.
The ship La Zoe, which had lately been dispatched from St. Domingo entered the port of Havre the 30th ult. after a passage of 31 days. When she failed from Cayes St. Louis, there were rumours of the surrender of Toussaint and Dessalines but nothing official on that important subject had transpired. The quarter of the island from which the La Zoe came had not experienced any of the disasters which the rest of the colony had sustained. This fortunate circumstance is ascribed to the surrender of the Black General La Plume; had it not been for him the Whites would have been exterminated to a man. Trade is in a most deplorable state; the exports are excessively inconsiderable; the cotton harvest is not got in, and the little, the negroes think proper to do, is ill done.
The commercial intelligence from Port au Prince is still more distressing; raw sugar is sold there from 50 to 60 livres the cwt. that article too is extremely scarce as the Blacks refuse to work. Cotton is also very scarce at Cayes St. Louis, because the Gonaives and the Mirabelais have been destroyed by fire; the trifling quantity which is to be had at Port au Prince costs from 230 to 250 livres; the indigo harvest has totally failed; coffee is the only article to be found, and even that costs from 18 to 22 sous per pound.
The colony of St. Domingo overflows with English merchandise; it is impossible to land French goods in that island without making the greatest sacrifices.
It is not thought that the Legislative Body will now be convened for some time.
PROCLAMATION.
The Consuls of the Republic to the French people.
People of France,
The 14th of July commenced in 1789 the new destinies of France. After thirteen years of labour, the 14th of July returns more dear to you, more august to posterity. You have conquered all obstacles and your destinies are accomplished. Within, not a head that does not bow to the empire of equality; without, not an enemy to menace your safety and your independence; not a French colony that is not subjected to the laws, without which no colony can exist.—From the bottom of your ports, commerce summons your industry, and offers you the world; in the interior, the genius of the Republic fertilizes all the seeds of prosperity.
People of France, that this epoch may be for us and for our children, the epoch of permanent good: that peace may be embellished by the union of virtue, of knowledge, and of arts; that institutions adopted to our character may surround our laws with an impenetrable rampart; that our youth eager for instructions may go to our Lycea to learn their duties and their rights; that the history of miseries may guarantee them from past errors, and that they may preserve in the midst of wisdom and concord, this edifice of grandeur which has been erected by the courage of the citizens.
Such are the will and the hope of the French government; second their efforts, & their happiness of France will be immortal as her glory.
The First Consul,
(Signed,)

LONDON, July 10.
Our intelligent correspondent at the Hague, informs us, that the court of Vienna has proposed to the Court of Petersburg, to march troops and take possession of Wallachia, for the apparent purpose of putting an end to the troubles in that province, and of quelling the rebellion of Passwan Oglou.
Duncan comes here to night, And when goes hence?
When the Austrians and Russians have got footing in European Turkey, will they ever relinquish those fertile provinces? Passwan Oglou's force is represented to be 20,000 strong. One of the detachments have advanced within two leagues of the Austrian territory. This has afforded to the Court of Vienna an occasion for declaring to the Porte, that it is necessary to occupy Wallachia in order to secure the Austrian frontiers from violation.
The Stadholder is to have the rich bishopric of Fulda as his indemnity. The revenue of the bishopric amounts to 25,000 florins.

COCKPIT, WHITEHALL, July 14.
Before the most noble and right hon. the Lords Commissioners of Appeals in Prize Causes.
The Minerva, Sueonius, master. This was a Swedish ship laden with a cargo of brandy, which was captured in the prosecution of her voyage from Barcelona, Ville Nova, and Salva, to Boston, on or about August 2, 1799, by his majesty's ship Boston, John Erskine Douglas, Esq. Commander, and carried into Halifax, where the usual proceedings were commenced.
It appeared that the ship was restored with freight, in the court below, and the cargo condemned; from which sentence an appeal was entered. Their Lordships, after hearing counsel in this case, directed further proof to be made of the property.
Lord Hutchinson, who has arrived in Dublin, will no doubt be received in the most flattering manner. Eminent as his services have been, he is justly dear in every part of the United Kingdom; but he cannot fail to be honored with peculiar marks of respect and affection from his own countrymen.
Lord North. We cannot forbear being pleased with the following bon-mot, at a period when his influence in the political world was no more, and when
blindness and other infirmities of age might be supposed to aggravate the chagrin of a disappointed Statesman. His old and violent antagonist Colonel Barre, who had also sustained the loss of sight, chanced one day to be placed by him in the House of Commons, when he happened in the course of the debate, to make some observations on his former political controversies.—But I trust (continued Lord North) that notwithstanding the violence of my opponents in public, my conduct has procured me few private enemies. There is, for example, my old and strenuous antagonist Col. Barre, he and I have had many tough political disputes, and yet I am confident that at this moment, no two persons in the nation would be happier to see one another.
The following is the opinion of justice Blackstone, concerning the present question in agitation, namely, Whether a Representative of the People is to vote according to his opinion or that of his constituents? "For the end of his coming to Parliament is not particular but general—not barely to advantage his constituents but the commonwealth; to advise his majesty, as appears from the writ of summons, De communi consilio super negotiis quibus damardus et urgentibus, regem, statum, et defensionem regni Angliæ, Ecclesiæ Anglicane concernentibus : and therefore, he is not bound, like a Deputy in the United Provinces, to consult with, or take the advice of his constituents upon any particular point unless he himself thinks it proper or prudent so to do."—Black. Com. Vol. i. p. 159.
Suppose the practice of locally instructing Members of Parliament was prevalent and universal throughout the whole Empire, is it not probable that different counties might furnish their members with instructions diametrically opposite to each other, and if they, as bound to obey, are precluded from the exercise of their own judgment or from receiving conviction by the arguments of others in the Senate, there would be no necessity for debating any question, no necessity for a representative being possessed of superior understanding or eloquence, no necessity for his being an honest man—his independence is at an end—he has received his instructions, and is consequently predetermined how to act, and there is no occasion for any exertion of intellectual talent, might not a tinker or a cobbler be qualified for the office of such a representative? The first of the lately published resolution asserts, that it is the "bounden duty of representative, not to set up their own opinions in opposition to the opinion of their constituents, but upon all occasions to obey their instructions; and yet the second resolution maintains, that
"It is an indispensable duty that they should select such Candidates whose abilities and independence will afford the best security, &c." If then Members are bound to "obey," how do "abilities and independence" become necessary? or, how can either be exercised? but if on the other hand, these qualifications are indispensable in a British Senator, surely the receiving of instructions is totally inadmissible.
From the (London) Courier of July 9th.
The Moniteur of the 3d inst. has brought an article, which will be read with some interest here—a sort of parallel between the late and present Ministers of England, during the war and the negotiations, and a review of the conduct of Lord Grenville and Mr. Windham, during the peace.—This paper is in a better line of disquisition, and written with less presumption than any with which we have been lately supplied from the same source. The pragmatical interrogations, the attempt at epigram, the abrupt deductions, are laid aside, and the writer plainly tells what he would have his reader understand. It is justly contended, that, if the peace be not as advantageous to England as she could wish, it is because the late Ministers had endangered so much by the war, that the present have found it a sufficient object to save what their predecessors had so nearly lost. The defence of the peace is taken upon this footing, and the condition of all our allies, from Russia to the land Seignor, is examined to support it. To the greater part of the conclusion which the writer draws, we can readily assent.—England, indeed, might have the gallant seamen whom she is allowed to possess, Admirals worthy of command, and negotiators of confidence; yet all these distin-

qualified characters would not maintain her in the rank she is destined to occupy, if at the head of her Cabinet she had prejudiced men like Lord Grenville, or Ministers like Mr. Windham. Our readers will peruse this piece with attention, and we can recommend it to them, with some pleasure, not merely because it discusses the merits of politicians here, but because, by the conciliatory language which it ushers towards our Ministry, more flattering certainly than they deserve, and by the arguments with which it endeavors to justify the peace to England, an achievement, perhaps, not very difficult, it exhibits a strong symptom, and the surest, which the period permits, of a pacific disposition on the part of France. [Here's the article.]
UPON THE LATE DEBATES IN THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT. The history of the few last years is full of problems which time only can develop, and of important lessons, the development of which it will assist. To preserve, however, this solution, and to understand this development, we ought to attend to the luminous traces which they leave behind them. It enlightens by degrees whatever is secret in the relations of politics, whatever is obscure in the connection of events, whatever is mysterious in their causes, or equivocal in the morality of the principal actors. In collecting all the rays which it has scattered in its progress, we have the opportunity of ascertaining the part which wisdom has taken, or the passions have usurped in the conduct of empire. The instruction which under this point of view the last debates in the English parliament are calculated to convey, cannot have escaped the notice of any one who has in the smallest degree turned his attention to this subject. It is now discovered that in the year 8, lord Grenville and Mr. Windham opposed in the Cabinet a treaty of peace when it was proposed by the Chief Consul. It may be supposed that they would now be under some difficulty in justifying themselves for plunging their country in the dangers with which it was surrounded; but in place of thinking of their justification they assume the character of accusers; and in reading their speeches, it is impossible almost to conceive that such assurances could exist as that with which they play their part.
If the treaty of Amiens was not advantageous for England as could be desired, to whom is this to be attributed, if not to the Ministers, whose obstinacy and caprice prolonged the war, when they had in their power the means of terminating it with honor?
And who is it against whom they now direct their accusation? The Minister who, repairing their faults, has been a leaven of peace, by his prudence, by his firmness, and by his capacity, to give peace equally to the North and South, to reconquer Egypt, and to restore it to the Grand Seignor, to reestablish the Order of Malta, to maintain the integrity of the States of the King of Naples, and thus to preserve the Mediterranean from the influence of France; to procure the restitution of the King of England of his possessions in Germany, seized by the king of Prussia, and on the eve of being occupied by the troops of France; to save Portugal, the ally of England, at a crisis of almost total ruin; in fine, to fix the power of England in the two Indies, on true bases, by giving up what it was useless to preserve, by preserving for its commerce its true resources, and by securing to it commanding advantages in point of position, in case of the renewal of war.
If we carefully consider the favorable opportunities of making peace which the late ministers suffered to escape them, or the situation in which they placed England, it is impossible not to be convinced that this power never signed a more advantageous treaty, since no one ever prevented greater ills.
The caution and the moderation of the answers of Mr. Addington and Lord Hawkesbury did honor to the Ministerial character; but there is not in Europe an individual of intelligence who does not see that it is their province to retort on Lord Grenville all the reproaches which have been heaped on them.
He wishes to render them responsible for all the advantages which the treaty of Lunéville has secured to France. But was it by the fault of the new Minister, that Russia abandoned the coalition? Was it by his fault that Austria was compelled to withdraw, and to enter into separate negotiations? Was it by the fault of the new Minister that England lost the opportunity of negotiating in concert with Austria and Russia? Was it by his errors that
the states of the North renewed the question of neutrality, and engaged with enthusiasm in a quarrel which, however legitimate for them, could have been so easily avoided by England.
England has had, since the year 7, three different opportunities favorable to negotiation.
The first was the 18th Brumaire, France regenerated, La Vendée pacified, the national spirit revived, ought to have apprised the English of the ascendancy which our armies were going to resume; but the Ministers of that day disdained the fine opportunity which they had to treat in concert with Austria, Russia, Bavaria, Naples, Turkey, and Portugal. They not only disdained the opportunity, but they also returned to the candid and friendly overtures for peace, a gross answer that gave a new spirit to the nation. The second era was that when the army of Suwarow having returned into Poland, Russia was decidedly separated from the coalition. This era, it is true, did not present all the advantages of the former, but the opportunity was still a good one. England might have hoped to make a common cause with Austria, Portugal, Turkey, and Bavaria. But, instead of making peace with France, the English Minister made new and powerful enemies. He insulted Russia and all the other powers of the north. There was a third era still; I mean that of the preliminaries signed by St. Julien. Italy being reconquered at Marengo, Austria lost no time to treat with France, and had obtained peace upon more honorable terms than circumstances could give her reason to hope. That was the moment when the English Minister should undoubtedly have entered into a separate negotiation. He appeared, in fact, to awake from his dream; but, always six months behind, he sought to negotiate in common with Austria. To suppose that the French government would consent, is to suppose it either foolish or ignorant of the situation of Europe. Unable to mix his peace with that of Austria, the English Minister sought to involve her again in war, and Lord Minto succeeded in making the court of Vienna blind to its own interests. She gave herself up once more to the baneful councils of which he was the organ, and the fate of the Austrian Monarchy was once more compromised.
In a word, it was not till after the treaty of Lunéville, and until the new Ministers had taken the helm of the State, that England opened serious negotiations; there was then an end of the business of interfering with the affairs of the Continent. The peace of the Continent was made without their concurrence. The ill temper and hostile sentiments of Lord Grenville, had rejected every opportunity of contributing to that object, and dissipated every chance of renewing the coalition against France. In these circumstances what could the English nation expect from the new Ministry? That they should preserve for their country in India the inestimable one of Ceylon, which cannot be reckoned too high. In the West Indies, the most important and well situated of the islands they had conquered.
It is possible for us to refute sentence for sentence the whole speech of Lord Grenville. It is not necessary to shew that he is alone responsible for whatever he objects against the present Ministers. If Italy is under the influence of France, he alone is to blame? If Naples has recovered its political independence, it is due to the ability of his successor. If Hanover was taken possession of by the king of Prussia, and on the point of being occupied by France, it was the fault of the old Ministry. If the king of England has recovered his Electorate, it is owing to the prudence and wisdom of his new Ministers. If Portugal saw her frontiers overrun, and the danger of being blotted out of the list of European Powers, it was the fault of the old Ministry. If she has been saved and lost nothing in Europe, it is to the prudence of the new Ministry that she is indebted for the obligation.
Although England may have brave and excellent sailors, like those whom she undoubtedly possesses, Admirals like Lord St. Vincent, intelligent officers like Sir Sidney Smith, firm and conciliating negotiators like the Marquis Cornwallis and Lord St. Helens, and able financiers like Mr. Pitt, but all these distinguished men would not be able to maintain her in the rank, which she is destined to occupy, were she to have at the head of her cabinet, such men as Lord Grenville and Mr. Windham.

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 10.
A meeting of the Subscribers to the Turnpike Road is requested at 7 o'clock this evening at the Court-House.
From the Recorder.
THIS week's Recorder contains a variety of pieces, which had been laid aside for a considerable time. Upon that account, we cannot in the present number finish two essays which were begun in the last one. They must stand over till next week. We have sent, however, a post letter to Coleman, editor of the New-York Herald to be published in his two newspapers. This letter will cut short a part of the debate between him and the letter-stealer, and the National Aegis. We expect to see this letter come back in ten days, in the New-York papers, and passing through a dozen others in its way.
This Aegis, which was quoted at length in last Recorder, and to which we shall again reply in our next, was set up, not long since, at Worcester in Massachusetts. Its founder and promoter is Levi Lincoln, attorney general of the United States. This is the man who calls himself a lawyer, and who at the same time, says that public money does not become public property by being collected from the people. At any time previous to its being placed in the treasury, the president may order it to
be paid back to the persons from whom it was collected. A doctrine like this is too absurd for criticism.
The Aegis is conducted by one Mr. Blake, of whom we know nothing but that he is very ignorant, very stupid and often very scurrilous. If Sally, the coast of Guinea wench, had not been sufficient, by her own weight, for sending Jefferson to the bottom, two such defenders as Blake and Cheetham would have dispatched the business. They have taken a goad which is indefensible, and from which they cannot fail to be driven. They declare that, if certain facts can be proved, they will give up the President. Some of these facts have already been proved, and others will be proved in a few days. Thus Mr. Jefferson, like an old Roman, falls upon the point of his own sword. What agonies of shame and consternation must the president feel at seeing himself so wretchedly defended! Never did such pangs of terror convulse his bosom, since the day when that heroic Governor of Virginia fled from Charlottesville to hide himself in Carter's Mountain! The dagger of truth has struck his character through the heart! He dies at the first blow!

Respectfully informs the Public that he has received from Lee & Co's Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, a fresh assortment of the following Valuable Medicines,
Which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded, could be purchased at a retail Store.
TAKE NOTICE,
That S. Bishop is appointed the ONLY Agent for Alexandria.
Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obdurate 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 unwholesome or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Consumption, Lowness of spirits, Loss of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weakness, Seminal weakness, Fluor albus, (or whites) Barrenness, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obstinate gleet, Impotency, &c. &c.
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 re-hair 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, Wyth 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 liciatica, 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 effected 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.

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 from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly composed of an 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 griping, 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 excretions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the least 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 Tæres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tænia, 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 gum—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—Purgings, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness 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.
CASES OF CURES.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
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 MOLTHER, 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 nematous, but upon close inspection quite replet with very small living animals. Not one of his
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 as a purging substitute, 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 MOLTHER.
