Menasses Gap, Fauquier county, June 11. d3t
From the Anti-Democrat.
IT is made a question of no small importance whether the cession of Louisiana to our government, by sale, would be of equal advantage to this country, as the possession and use of the enormous sum of money which it is said may be, or has been, demanded by Bonaparte for the fee simple. The surrender of all claims for spoliations on our commerce, and the payment of three millions of dollars, making in the whole a sum of not less than thirteen or fourteen millions, when viewed in the aggregate, make no contemptible counterpoise to the navigation of the Mississippi, and the deposit of the port of New Orleans; for as to territory we want it not, or we want it only as a security to what we already possess. But the subject, as stated & contended for by the democratic writers, is not whether the territory would be useful to us, but whether it is not better to pay, or give away this sum for that which is already our own, than making a noble stand, compel those who encroach upon our rights, to acknowledge and respect them. The right to the Mississippi is ours. This right has been invaded; and we send our humble petition to the Great Usurper, that he would be graciously pleased to withdraw his claim, and give us back our own; and for this courtesy we'll give you so much monies.
The organ of the public will, who has been for some time past rather tongue tied has come forward lately to assert that all this is no more than a scheme of the federal merchants, to get the United States as security for debts, due by the French nation for contracts and losses; for, if the executive and congress resign all claims of individuals against the French government, certainly those arising from breach of contract must form a part of that relinquishment.
It will readily be admitted, I suppose by every one, that there are no certain proofs of such a demand having been made, or if made, that this country, even as now represented, would comply with it. But there is every fair reason to believe such to be the object of the two millions of dollars, voted for the exigencies of foreign intercourse: there is every reason to believe that something more than common must have induced the mission of Mr. Monroe; something which Mr. Livingston, who used to be one of their file leaders in congress, was incapable of conducting to its proper issue.
In the Aurora of the 6th instant Mr. Duane on this subject, after throwing, as is usual, all the blame upon the late administration, states the following federal argument, in order that he may introduce his elegant democratic refutation.
'But it will be said again, according to the republican [by which he now meant what a few years ago he would have called aristocratic, and what by others are called federal] doctrines that the acts of the servants should not operate against the people, their acts should not prevent remuneration from the public for property surrendered by those servants.'
Upon which he has the following pungent remark.
'To this we reply, that the public are not liable for the rebuilding of houses or the restitution of property destroyed by fire, or other accidents.'
This of course refers to the destruction of the war office by fire, and for which the public were held not liable, it being an act of God according to the legal interpretation. But are the cases at all parallel? Is there any affinity between the non-obligation of a tenant to rebuild a house in his occupancy destroyed by an inevitable accident, and the obligation of a government to make good to the people, any claim against a foreign country, after, by a public act, depriving them of the right of demanding it were originally due? If the United States by Treaty say that those who have claims of any pecuniary nature against France, shall not make demand, nor be entitled to receive the same either they assume on themselves the indemnification of the claimant, or they exercise an undelegated power over the property of individuals. But the unremainable nature of any contrary doctrine, renders argument against it totally unnecessary.
Mr. Duane proceeds to ask — 'Why should the public be called upon to pay for the misfortunes of the merchants any more than of the farmers? Upon what
ground could either pretend to demand it of the public?'
Certainly upon the ground of right and justice alone should either hope to have the demand complied with. And if the farmer has a just claim against the government, no reason can be advanced why the merchant's should receive a preference. But in the present instance what claim of the farmer's would be affected? It is not customary with that class of citizens to dispose of their produce upon contingencies; and least of all upon the chance of the adventure of the merchant turning out favorable. But this quere of the good citizen Duane is of the same complexion with most others of his own remarks, and those of his party. No more effectual way can be taken to ingratiate themselves with the secluded cultivator, who is too apt to take every thing they say as gospel truth, than by holding the merchants up to his view as rich and lordly aristocrats, who grasp at dominion, and lived by fraud and artifice. If the paragraph cited has any meaning, it is that the merchants wish by establishing a false claim, to defraud the government and consequently the people. Even Duane himself, by the weak manner in which he argues on the subject, shews he does not believe a word he says.
'The absurdity,' continues he, 'is still more palpable if it is considered that the profits of all mercantile adventures go to the adventurer only; and that no merchant need incur a dollar loss, unless he neglects the duty he owes to himself and creditors, that of insuring. The fact is, that nearly the whole of the spoliations in question have been covered by insurances, and the amount recovered; and that the design is to obtain another payment from the public.'
There is much more ignorance than craft in the above quoted paragraph. Mr. Duane has here 'overleapt himself and fallen on t'other side.' When a man is detected in palpable falsehood, his arguments or misstatements reckon against himself. But I will be so charitable to the Aurora as to suppose that it is rather anything else than a design to impose falsehood on its readers. The profits of mercantile adventures certainly should accrue to him who risks the loss which may attend them in foreign markets; and as the government is under no obligation to make good any portion of that loss, neither has it any claim to any portion of that profit. But as the government is benefited by every adventure of the merchant, whether in import or export, so is it bound to extend protection to his commerce, to the utmost limits of the power it possesses. And it is the care of government to punish the aggressions of any foreign nation upon the trade under its guardianship. When any wrong is done to the merchant in his lawful trade, it is the business of his country to obtain redress for him, not to step in between him and his right.
Mr. Duane says truly, that the merchant need not incur a loss, unless he neglects a duty which he owes both to himself and his creditors, that of insuring; this however can apply to his property only when on the seas. But when he goes on to add that the design is to obtain another payment from the public, and that, too, because nearly the whole of the spoliations in question have been covered by insurances, and the amount recovered, it is hoped those not thoroughly acquainted with the nature of commercial policy, will pause for information before they credit an insinuation so unfounded and malicious; or if not so, then proceeding from greater ignorance than Mr. Duane would wish to be thought possessed of.
If the spoliation has been committed, and the property unjustly condemned by the French government, a loss must have been some where sustained. If the merchant had not insured, even by Mr. Duane, he is the person who has suffered, and who has a just claim against the French government. His having insured does not lessen the liability of the French to remunerate, but merely transfers the right of claiming that remuneration from himself to the underwriters. If the United States place themselves in the situation of France, can it be doubted, then, that the insurance companies in America have a just and lawful claim against them (or as Duane would more impressively say against the people) for every loss they have been obliged to pay, which they can prove to have arisen from unjust captures or detention, by public vessels or others acting under the authority of the
French republic, as it is called? And can this be called a design to obtain another payment of the same loss? Do the United States pay the loss twice? Or do the merchants by this process recover first from the underwriters and then from the government?
After all we cannot believe that Mr. Duane made such an assertion from ignorance; and weak indeed must be that cause, which requires the aid of such petty arts, or that can condescend to be served by such egregious misrepresentations. It was not surely for the merchants of Philadelphia he wrote the paragraph: No; his paper is known to have an extensive country circulation; and it is on such as are entirely ignorant of commerce, that he hopes to impose by such roguery, which even the youngest pupil of a counting house would be able to refute. Out of about Eight Hundred who receive this paper, out of the city of Baltimore, many may have seen Duane's Aurora of the 6th inst. and we have deemed it our duty, as far as in our power, to remove any erroneous impression it may have made.
SALEM, June 6.
OF WAR—AGAIN.
Capt. Brown, who arrived here yesterday from Hamburg, spoke on the 26th May, the brig Nancy, Ward, of Boston, who left Liverpool the 8th of May. Capt. W. informed capt. B. that the day he left Liverpool it was briskly reported that England had actually declared war against France. We report this news as we received it, and leave our readers to put their own construction upon it. June, 7.
From Bordeaux—late.
By a letter of May 5th, received by a mercantile house in this town from their correspondent in Bordeaux, and politely communicated to us last evening, we find, even at that late date, the uncertainty of peace or war continued—as though the governments of France and England were sporting themselves with the hope and fears of the public. The apprehensions of war had given a brisk demand to W. I. produce; & though many vessels had arrived from thence and the Isle of France, still the prices had not declined, on account of the uncertainty above mentioned, "and particularly (says the letter) as our armateurs have determined to disarm, and lay up their vessels until the present altercation between France and G. Britain are finally adjusted." Not a vessel was looking there for the E. or W. Indies. Brandy has fallen in price, and cargo wines.
BOSTON, June 6.
On Saturday last, came on before the Circuit Court of the United States, now sitting in Boston, the trial of John Southwick, on an indictment for forging, uttering and publishing an order or check on the Bank of the United States, payable to himself or order, for six thousand eight hundred dollars. After a long and patient hearing, by the Court and Jury, in the course of which many witnesses were examined on the part of the Government, adduced by Mr. Blake, the District Attorney, the Jury retired, and in a few moments returned with a general verdict against the defendant.
After conviction, the prisoner made the following confession to the court:
"May it please your Honors,
"I stand before you a dreadful example of human infirmity, and of the manner in which we may be carried from the height of human felicity, to the depth of human misery. When I consider what transactions I have been guilty of, the injuries I have committed on society, by endeavouring to undermine its best principles; the wounds I have given religion by my example, my heart bleeds at every pore. I am an example how young persons may be imperceptibly led from the path of virtue to that of vice, and may say with another character, who has suffered for his crimes—"Good God! what might I have been, what am I now!
"Setting out in life with property, with the principles of religion, and serving my time in a store where I saw nothing but the fairest transaction carried on, I thought all mankind good, and this world a place of sincerity; 'till I found some in whom I had put the utmost confidence, had deceived me, stripped me of my property, and showed me the deception of the human heart. Unfortunately then undertook their plan, and it has brought me to this bar. I acknowledge the justice of God, and thank him for arresting me in the progress of guilt, and before I had

reached that bar from whose decisions there is no appeal. As to the crime of which I am now charged, I can solemnly declare, that I had no idea of defrauding the Bank. The check was not drawn in the form of one nor could it be taken as such.
The second witness, Mr. Randall, has been connected with me in a great many transactions, which I wish may be buried in eternal oblivion. Money, and the note of 500 dollars, were forced from me in a most iniquitous and infamous manner. This paper was drawn and given to him in a moment of passion; but with no design to defraud any person. My intention was to put him in a little temporary difficulty at Philadelphia, which he highly deserves—however, I am pretty certain he is only reserved finally to meet at Charlestown.
The third witness, Miss Barnes, has told the truth, the whole truth; I have no reflections to make on her. God grant I may meet her in a better and unchanging world, to part no more forever!
The public mind is incensed against me and justly, for my crimes; but instead of their resentment, let them now retire in pity, and remember that once I stood as firm as they; that we are all born alike, but not buried alike; and I pray God that others may than the rock upon which I have split.

CHARLESTON, June 1.
The brig Adventure, capt. Jones, from Trinidad, for this port, foundered on the 16th of May, about 8 o'clock in the evening, a little to the southward of Charleston bar. The brig immediately sunk; and it is feared that all the crew, (except the captain) consisting of eleven persons, perished. Capt. Jones fortunately got hold of a large wooden gun, on which he was tossed about during the whole of that night, and until 6 o'clock the succeeding evening; when, nearly exhausted, he was picked up by the brig Nancy, capt. Cooke, bound from St. Kitts to Providence, R. I. which having sprung a leak, was steering for St. Mary's; but unable to make that port, put into Savannah on the 23d ult. where she landed capt. Jones, and where she was condemned as unfit for sea.
It is worthy of remark, that while capt. Jones was floating on the frail bark to which he was indebted for his preservation, he was twice attacked by a large shark, and, an astonishing fact, with no weapons of defence, he repulsed him, by shouting, and by repeated blows with his feet.
If any of the crew of the Adventure are fortunately saved from the wreck, they may hear of the captain, by applying at Messrs. Robert Hazlehurst & Co's counting house.

PETERSBURG, June 7.
On Sunday last a Duel was fought on Battersea plantation between Mr. George Tucker and Mr. James Hughes, both of this town. They shot each other the first fire—the former received a wound thro' the leg just below the knee, which, it is supposed, will prove very injurious; the latter was shot through the body, and it is believed he is mortally wounded.
Yesterday morning another Duel was fought near this town, between Mr. Tho-
mas K. Harris and Mr. James Trezvant. At the second fire the latter received a wound in the body, of which he now lies very ill, but there are flattering hopes of his recovery.
The quarrels which produced these unhappy interviews we are well assured were not of a political nature.

MONDAY, JUNE 13.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
We wish to express suitable acknowledgements to a respectable merchantile house in this city, which favoured us [the Editors of the New York Daily Advertiser] with the perusal of Paris papers to the 25th of April, inclusive, received yesterday by the brig Mary, capt. Moulton, in 40 days from Havre; and with the following extract from their correspondents:
HAVRE, April 27.
"Appearances this day are more in favour of War. We are extremely solicitous to be relieved from this anxious state of suspense, a thousand times more painful than the evil itself."
Capt. Moulton left Havre on the 28th of April, and informs us, that the greatest preparations for war were making in the French ports; a heavy impress of seamen had taken place, and the fleet was principally manned; from 14 to 20 gun boats had been prepared for sea with the greatest expedition, and failed for Dunkirk three days before his departure, but were driven back by adverse winds, and were lying in port; others were getting their guns on board, and completing their equipments. Active measures were taking to have the batteries of the town and harbour properly manned, and the ship carpenters and caulkers at Havre were all engaged by the government. Captain Moulton has brought dispatches from Mr. Monroe, for our government.
The French papers contain little intelligence of importance: very little that can gratify on the all important question of peace or war. They are chiefly filled with columns of the proceedings of the Corps Legislatif—a title not easily comprehended on this side of the Atlantic; a corps somewhat similar, but without its proud patrician spirit, to the parliament of Paris under the ancient regime; a corps which does not deliberate, but only stamps, the fiat to the arbitrary mandates of a military despot. The objects of these projects of laws are very uninteresting to American readers. The most prominent articles will be found under our foreign head. We cannot trace a list respecting our Envoy Extraordinary, Mr. Monroe's arrival or reception; nor any thing that regards New Orleans or the Province of Louisiana.
The "Journal du Commerce," of the 25th April, contains the following:
"By virtue of an arrete of the colonial government of St. Lucie, dated the 23d Pluviose, and until it is otherwise ordained, the permission granted to foreign vessels which shall import into St. Lucie non prohibited merchandise, and to export from thence brown sugars, is extended to all other productions of that colony, excepting cotton, which only is reserved for the French commerce. Foreign vessels shall pay 6 3/4 per cent. on the value of colonial products exported from St. Lucie. Those exported by the national vessels of France, or in French possession, shall be subject to no duty on departure from said colony."
French 5 per ct. Con. 53f. 65c.
A gentleman who came passenger on board the brig Mary. Capt. Moulton, has politely furnished us with a file of the Courier Maritime Du Havre , from which we have extracted a few articles of ship news. Capt. Moulton left Havre on the 28th of April. The question of war or peace was still undecided. The greatest anxiety prevailed at that place, and it was the general opinion, that the re commencement of hostilities was inevitable. Preparations were going forward with vigor; a heavy impress of seamen had taken place; the fleet was principally manned; from 14 to 20 gun boats had failed from Havre for Dunkirk; but were driven back by contrary winds. Capt. M. we understand, has brought dispatches from Mr. Monroe to our government.
(N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.)
From New Orleans, May 11.
"The Marquis of Casa Calvo arrived
here last evening, with the royal order to deliver up this province to the French officer who may be charged with its Duplicate. I have learnt from good authority that the Capt.-General of Cuba disapproves of the intendans conduct and that he had ordered the Deposit to be opened some time since unless the royal order to the contrary had been received. The Marquis was surprised to find it yet shut. All this is a tissue of Riddles, which time only will develop.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in the Suite of Mr. Monroe, to his friend in New York, dated Paris, April 16th, 1802.
"Mr. Monroe was presented to the minister for Foreign Affairs on the 14th, by whom he was received with every mark of attention. He assured him that he was authorized by the First Consul to declare that he heard of his arrival in France with much satisfaction. Mr. M. will not be presented to the First Consul until ten days hence, that, being the time appointed for presenting the foreign ministers.
"General Bernadotte left Paris on the 13th to embark for the United States, where he is to reside as Minister from this Government. It is the general opinion that war is at no great distance. Orders were issued two days ago to prevent the sailing of all the French vessels."
Extract of a letter from an American merchant at Havre de Grace, to his correspondents in New York, dated 22d April.
"A proposition has been lately made by Government to the Legislative Body to raise 120,000 Conscript, 60 000 of which are said to complete the Peace establishment, and 60,000 to form a Corps de Reserve. The proposal originates with Bonaparte, and will therefore be complied with.
"Maritime preparations are carrying on with activity, and every thing wears an hostile appearance.
"It would be prudent on the part of our merchants to be circumspet in their operations as, there is no knowing what treatment we may eventually receive from this Government, which seems to be not well disposed towards us.

How to withhold a Principal Witness from appearing in Court. —This expedient was adopted some time ago at the Assizes for a Midland County. A fellow swore in Court, that he left the principal witness in such a condition, that if he continued in it but half an hour longer, he must inevitably die. It was a preconceived thing; he left the witness at a tavern, with a gallon of brandy at his mouth!

MATRIMONY.
IT is much to be regretted but indisputably certain, that many portions of both sexes are deterred from entering into the married state, by Secret Infirmities, which delicacy forbids them to disclose; and there are not a few who being already married, are rendered miserable for want of those tender pledges of mutual love, without which happiness in this state is at least very precarious. It has been ascertained beyond a doubt that those circumstances are occasioned by general or partial relaxation or weakness in either sex, and it is equally certain that the genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL are the best if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of debility. When taken into the stomach, they immediately dissolve and diffuse themselves like a vapor through every pore, producing effects at once delightful, salutary and permanent. When the spark of life begins to grow dim, the circulation languid, and the faculty paralysed, these Lozenges are found to give tone to the nerves, exhilarate the animal spirits, invigorate the body, and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to exercise, loss or depravity of appetite, and palled countenance, indicate approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved and restored to health and society by the benign influence of this medicine. When the delusions of imagination, or the force of bad example, have tempted unguarded youth into the dangerous labyrinth of secret sensuality, debilitated his body, and impaired his understanding, these Lozenges will protect him from lingering disease, the infirmities of premature old age, and a wretched dissolution amidst the agonizing reflections of conscious guilt.—When the sons and daughters of dissipation have brought on themselves debility, relaxation, imbecility, and a long train of nervous affections, manifested by impaired memory, anxiety, agitation, tremours, languor, paleness, emaciation, indigestion, apathy in men; hysterics, spasms, loss of appetite, irregularity, weakness, abortion, pains in the back chest, &c. in women; these lozenges will restore health and vigor to the debilitated frame, and cheerfulness and animation to the mind.
Price One Dollar per packet.
Particular directions for their use are sealed up with each, but as the great benefit to be derived from them can only be secured by having them genuine, the public are requested to observe that the signature of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity, they are not genuine.
Dr. Atkinson's genuine Essence of Mustard.
Rheumatism in every stage, instantly submits to its penetrating powers, which has succeeded in curing the most desperate cases of rheumatism, gout, lumbago, sciatica, numbness, palsy and complaints of the stomach, after various medicines have proved ineffectual. It is prepared in pills, and also in a fluid state. The pills are particularly serviceable in flatulences and indigestion, and by their salutary operation, promote perspiration, and gradually undermine the most obstinate rheumatism; and, at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The fluid essence is a remarkable active embrocation, necessarily used with the pills, and as generally excites a tingling sensation; it removes the causes of pain, by bringing on a circulation in the parts affected; by this means, frozen limbs, the severest sprains and bruises, old strains and relaxations, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signature of Thomas Stokes and Co. being affixed to each bottle; without which mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment.
The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease, by one application, so many thousands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public that the name Thomas Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without this mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the Eyes; speedily removes inflammations, dimness, itchings, and films; it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unparalleled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills.
An agreeable and certain preventive of that predisposition to inflammatory and malignant fever, which prevails at particular seasons of the year. The rapid and increasing demand from every part of the United States, and the West-India islands, is the best evidence of their superior excellence.
Further particulars of the Medicines abovementioned, will be hereafter inserted.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumption.
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 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 foramen 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 diseases 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,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weaknesses,  Obstinate gleets,    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.

HAMILTON'S
WOR 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 obstructions 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 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 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 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 gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting 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 an appearance a mucus but upon close inspection quit repealed with very small living animals. No tone 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 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.
