NOTICE.
THE prodigious number of DOGS, going at large in our streets daily, at this season of the year, has given but a too well founded alarm, for the consequences to be apprehended, if longer permitted; a speedy corrective therefore in the premises seems expedient—I do therefore again require the several constables to be vigilant, and active, in the discharge of their several duties, as it respects those animals, and their owners; and in executing the law upon that subject passed the 3d February 1800, in these words, to wit :—“All owners of dogs shall keep such dogs chained or otherwise confined, and if any dog shall be found going at large, without his owner, the owner shall be subject to the penalty of one dollar. It shall be lawful for any person, and shall particularly be the duty of the constables, to kill and destroy any dog found so going at large without his owner.”
The benefit and satisfaction experienced and acknowledged, by those persons who have lately white washed their cellars, ought I think to be a powerful incentive to several others who have not done so; and in my view of this subject, the present state of the weather more than ever appears to require this very salutary operation, the expense can surely be no objection with many for several cellars will not require more lime and labour, than what one half dollar or seventy five cents will purchase.

LOUISIANA REMONSTRANCE. TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES IN SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONVENED.
(Continued from Saturday's Advertiser.)
We may then again become the victims of false information, of hasty remark, or prejudiced opinion; we may then again be told that we are incapable of managing our own concerns, that the period of emancipation is not yet arrived, and that when in the school of slavery, we have learned how to be free, our rights shall be restored. Upon the topic to which this leads we are reluctant to speak—but misrepresented and insulted, it cannot be deemed improper to shew how groundless are the calumnies which represent us, as in a state of degradation, unfit to receive the boon of freedom. How far any supposed incapacity, to direct the affairs of our own country, would release the United States from their obligation, to confer upon us, the rights of citizenship, or upon what principle they are to become the judges of that capacity, might, we believe, fairly be questioned—for we have surely not become less fit for the task, since the signature of the Treaty, than we were before that period; and that no such incapacity was then supposed to exist, is evident from the terms of that instrument, which declares that we are to be admitted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the constitution. If the United States then may postpone the performance of this engagement until in their opinion it may be proper to perform it, of what validity is the compact, or can that be called one, of which the performance depends only on the will of the contracting party.
But if capacity is to be the criterion and information the preliminary requisite of our admission let us respectfully enquire what is the nature of this capacity, and information, and where it will most probably be found. By the distribution of powers between the general and state governments, the former have the exclusive superintendence of all external relations, and of those internal arrangements, which regard the several states in their national capacity; the residuary powers, retained by the states, are more limited in their operations, and require in their exercise a species of information to be derived only from local sources. The purest principles will be misapplied, the best intentions will be ill directed, the most splendid efforts of genius, will prove ineffectual without an intimate knowledge of the manners, customs, pursuits, and interests, of the people to whom they are applied, or in whose favour they are exerted. Should this reasoning be just, it would appear to follow, that local information should be preferred in a state legislator, to splendid acquirement, when they cannot be united; and should we give the representatives of the United States all the superiority they claim and undoubtedly merit, yet we cannot be accused of presumption, in supposing that we know somewhat more of our own country, and its local interests, that men who are acquainted with it only from report. It will not, we trust, be answered that the members of the council must be selected from the inhabitants; we have already shewn what share the council will probably have in legislation: and the residence of one year is certainly too short to attain information, or secure any thing like a permanent attachment.
If this local knowledge is necessary to legislate wisely, how much more so is it in order to select discreetly, those on whom this task must devolve. The President must necessarily depend on the information of his agents here; without any personal knowledge of the men he must chuse; how can he detect imposition, or counteract prejudice: How defeat intrigue, or secure himself from the reproach of having confided our interests to men, in whom we have no confidence? We might contrast these inconveniences with the evident advantages, of a choice made by the people themselves, and the conviction would be irresistible, that the latter possess, exclusively that species of information, with respect to character, conduct, circumstances and abilities, which is necessary to a prudent choice of their representatives; but we presume enough has been said to shew that among a people not absolutely sunk in ignorance, the kind of knowledge indispensable to good government, or a selection of rulers, can only be found at home—that the best abilities and the purest intentions will not replace it abroad, and that without it all legislation is tyrannical and oppressive.
Convinced of this truth we find the advocates for our subjection, driven to an argument, at which we have before hinted—To deprive us of our right of election, we have been represented as too ignorant to exercise it with wisdom, and too turbulent to enjoy it with safety. Sunk in ignorance, effeminated by luxury, debased by oppression, we were it was said incapable of appreciating a free constitution, if it were given, or feeling the deprivation, if it were denied. The sentiments which were excited by this humiliating picture, may be imagined, but cannot be expressed, consistent with the respect we owe your honorable body. We were willing, however to ascribe it to the want of correct information, but we could not avoid wondering that it should be so very defective, as to have drawn from the names of some districts in our country, an argument as to the language spoken in them, which proved fatal to an important amendment to the bill. We could not imagine what had excited the idea of our effeminacy and profusion; and the laborious planter at his frugal meal heard, with a smile of bitterness and contempt, the descriptions published at Washington, of his opulence and luxury.
As to the degree of information diffused through the country, we humbly request that some more correct evidence may be produced than the superficial remarks that have been made by travellers or residents, who neither associate with us nor speak our language; many of us are native citizens of the United States who have participated in that kind of knowledge which is there spread among the people, the others generally are men who will not suffer, by a comparison with the population of any other colony. Some disadvantages as to education in the highest branches of literature, have lately attended us, but the original settlement of the province was marked by circumstances peculiarly favorable in this respect, it was made at no great date, at a period when science had attained a great degree of perfection, and from a country in which it flourished; many individuals possessing a property and rank, which suppose a liberal education were among the first settlers, and perhaps there would be no vanity in asserting that the first establishment of Louisiana, might vie with that of any other in America, for the respectability and information of those who composed it; their descendants now respectfully call for the evidence which proves that they have degenerated so as to become totally incompetent to the task of legislation; for our love of order and submission to the laws, we can confidently appeal to the whole history of our settlement, and particularly to what has lately passed. In those dangerous moments when it was uncertain at what point our political vibrations would stop; when national prejudice, personal interest, factious views, and ambitious designs, might be supposed to combine for the interruption of our repose when in the frequent changes to which we have been subject, the authority of one nation was weakened, before the other had established its power. In those moments of crisis and danger, no insurrection disturbed, no riot disgraced us, the voice of sedition was silent; and before a magistrate was appointed, good morals served instead of laws, and a love of order instead of civil power; it is then as unjust to tax us with turbulence, as it is degrading to reproach us with ignorance and vice.
But let us admit that by some train of reasoning to which we are strangers, by some incomprehensible facility we are cut off from our national rights, and form an unfortunate exception to those general principles on which your revolution and government are founded; that there is no clause for us in the great charter of nature, and that we must look for our freedom to another source; yet we are not without a claim, one arising from solemn stipulation, add according to our ideas, full obligatory and unequivocal.
The third article of the treaty, lately concluded at Paris, declares that, "the inhabitants of the ceded territory shall be incorporated in the union of the United States, and admitted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the federal constitution, to the enjoyment of all the rights, advantages and immunities of citizens of the United States, and in the mean time they shall be protected in the enjoyment of their liberty, property, and the exercise of the religion they profess."
Your honorable body seems to have adopted a construction of this article, which would suspend its performance, until some period fixed by the principles of the constitution, and to have read the article thus: The inhabitants shall be incorporated into the Union, and admitted to the enjoyment of all the rights, etc. so soon as the principles
of the federal constitution will permit. We on the contrary contend, that the words "according to the principles of the federal constitution," as they are placed in the sentence, form no limitation, that they were intended as descriptive of the kind of rights we were to enjoy, or at most referred to the mode in which they were to be conferred, and that the article contemplates no other delay to our reception, than will be required to pass the necessary laws, and ascertain the representation to which we are intitled.
The inhabitants of the ceded territory, are to be "incorporated into the Union of the United States." these words can in no sense be satisfied by the act in question. A territory, governed in the manner the act directs, may be a province of the United States, but can by no construction, be said to be incorporated into the Union. To be incorporated into the Union, must mean to form a part of it; but to every component part of the United States, the constitution has guaranteed a republican form of government; and this as we have already shewn, has no one principle of republicanism in its composition. It is, therefore, not a compliance with the latter of the treaty, and is totally inconsistent with its spirit, which certainly intends some stipulations in our favor. But if congress may govern us as they please, what necessity was there for this clause? or how are we benefited by its introduction? If any doubt however could possibly arise on the first member of the sentence, it must vanish by a consideration of the second, which provides for their admission, to the rights, privileges, and immunities of citizens of the United States. But this government, as we have shewn, is totally incompatible with those rights. Without any vote in the election of our legislature; without any check upon our executive; without any one incident of self-government—what valuable "privilege" of citizenship is allowed us what "right" do we enjoy? what "immunity" can we boast, except indeed the degrading exemption from the cares of legislation and the burthen of public affairs? (To be continued.)
NEW-YORK, August 30.
The conduct of the British vessels of war, in cruising at the mouth of the harbor of New York, detaining merchantmen and impressing the seamen, is as great an insult as can be offered from one independent nation to another. If the government of the United States suffers this, it refuses that protection which it owes to the citizens it is reduced to the lowest state of degradation. The conduct of the British is equal to a declaration of war, and would justify the repelling of them by force. A tameness in this respect, is to invite insult and outrage from any and from every quarter.
Let it be remembered that the United States are neutral in the contest between Great Britain and France. If we allow one power to help itself at our expence, the other will take the same privilege. The Emperor Napoleon, as well as George the Third, will impress our seamen whenever he can; and thus we will be made the sport and the prey of these contending nations.
It will be asked what is the remedy? There can be only two; remonstrance & resistance. The first is tedious and makes no restitution, or at least when it is too late—What restitution can be made to the merchant for the detention of his vessel, the deprivation of his seamen, and the change of the port? In the mean time he may be embarrassed and many others involved in his final ruin. Remonstrance and resistance against the aggressors ought to go together. After a robber has broken into your house, and carried off your goods you may look in vain for their restoration.
It will be asked again, where is the force to compel an observance of the law of nations? This is a mortifying question. It shall only be said, that if the United States have not an adequate force, they are able to have it, and they must have it, or surrender their independence. The ludicrous manner in which some writers have treated the insolence of Foreign Powers, and the palliations formed for by others, are unworthy of Americans. The matter is too serious to be trifled with, and call for indignant opposition, instead of excuse or merriment.
PHILADELPHIA, August 31.
DIED, last night very suddenly the Rev. John Blair Linn, pastor of the first Presbyterian church in this city, aged 37. This melancholy intelligence will be heard with deep regret, not only by the particular circle of friends to whom he was endeared by the purity of his conduct, the goodness

of his heart, and the elevation of his mind, but by a numerous and affectionate congregation, the surviving witnesses of his piety and usefulness. Nor is it they alone who have to mourn on this occasion. The whole community will deplore the premature loss of one of its brightest ornaments. Our country, nay, the universe, partakes of the affliction, when talents so splendid, industry so unceasing, and virtue so inflexible are summoned from the world. In the midst of our regrets, the overburthened heart will cling with delight to the assurance, that our departed Brother has exchanged "this earthly tabernacle for a crown of everlasting glory;" that he has deserved, and will receive the heavenly benediction of, "well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the kingdom of heaven."

Extract of a letter from Williamsport, Lycoming county, dated Aug. 22.
It is probable you have heard that the Yankees on Tioga shot Edward Gobin; this has put a stop to all business in that country; they since say he was the wrong person, they meant to shoot the surveyor Henry Donnell. There are forty men in arms on the Tioga, from Sugar Creek and other parts. Gillet, some time after Gobin was shot, came with upwards of 30 persons on to the tract in the name of Mark Wilcocks, and cut the hay. The person it is leased to fears they will take his life, and for some time has kept to his house. I am informed that at Tioga Point, they have shot and burnt an effigy of Henry Donnell, and threaten that if he or any other officer should go into that country, they shall not leave it alive. They have stopped travellers and made them give account of themselves. One of the settlers is now at Williamsport, who had leased a tract of land; he fled the country fearing his life would be taken, and numbers have under like apprehensions removed into the state of New York.

III. That the master of all such vessels, or their sureties do pay the usual fees into the Secretary's Office, at the time of reporting their invoice or bill of measurement.  IV. That all persons that do at present, or that hereafter may, follow the occupation or profession of a measurer, shall be sworn by a magistrate to act, as far as relates to them or them, in due conformity to the proclamation of his Majesty's Superintendant, and the orders and regulations issued thereupon; a certificate of which oath, under the hand and seal of one or more Magistrates, to be lodged in the Office of

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3.
A gentleman of intelligence and respectability at New Orleans, in a letter to his friend, on the subject of the Louisiana Memorial, observes—"It is well understood to be the production of Mr. Edward Livingston; but the sentiments and disposition which originated it, took their rise in Paris, and were deposited here by Mr. Laussat."
French Frigates.—A letter from New-York, dated on Wednesday last, says—"This morning the French frigates Didon and Cybelle, got under way about 7 o'clock and proceeded through the narrows with a light breeze from N. E. Their departure has occasioned a thousand conjectures, and bets have been made to a considerable amount, that they will not go out. Report says that they received orders this morning at two o'clock to proceed to sea. This is not unlikely from this circumstance—At the above hour a small encampment which they had erected on Gibbet Island, was broke up and all hands ordered on board with the utmost expedition. There is only one wish here on the subject; that is, that they have gone off, let the result be what it may between them and the British—for the conduct of the British off our port has been censured by all parties, and in my opinion very deservedly. With respect to the course, &c. of the French frigates I shall be able to advise you in my next. The French frigates got to Sunday Hook about nine o'clock."
French Frigates return.—The N. York Gazette, by this morning's mail, has the following paragraph:
"The French frigates Didon and Cybelle, yesterday returned into port and anchored in their former situation opposite Governor's island.—The object of the Frenchman's expedition to Gravesend bay, was said to be merely to exercise the men, and that their intention was not to put to sea—at present."
From Amsterdam.—It appears from Dutch papers received at Portsmouth to the 30th of June, under the Paris head of 25th of June, that GEORGES and eleven others were guillotined in the fore part of that day—that those eight which were condemned to death, and to whom the Emperor has extended his mercy, have been condemned to be confined in the State prison for four years, and after that to be transported; that Jules Polignac, has also been sentenced to two years imprisonment. Its father adds, "General MOREAU is on his passage to the United States of America. (Sal. Reg.)"
Gun Boat, No. 1.—Captain Wallace, arrived at Philadelphia from Charleston, tells us, (says the True American) that Gun Boat No. 1. on going to sea was found to labor so hard, that she carried away her bowsprit, the horns being too weak; also, that the port for her 32 pounder was so low that the gun would be of no service at sea, and that it was so illly fixed, that it could not be run far enough aft; in short, that her overhaul which was absolutely necessary, would cost from 700 to 1000 dollars, and then would be worth not half the money.
We are informed by an arrival at Philadelphia, that the trade at the Bay of Honduras was open for Americans bringing provisions, under the restriction of not bringing off wood more than 20 inches square. It is added, that wood was very plenty and vessels very scarce, and that provisions were low, not paying more than freight.
Capt. Peace, of the ship Harriot, arrived at Baltimore from St. Petersburg, reports, that the Russians appeared to be making every preparation for war. They
were getting ready for sea a large fleet, but their destination was not made known.
Dollars.—By our last London price current (July 4) dollars were at one hundred & two cents, and plenty. An act had passed the British Parliament, allowing the bank of England to recoin dollars—after which they passed at one hundred and ten cents. These new crowns were not considered as a part of the coin of the realm. Mr. Pitt in the debate on the bill said, "he thought the only view in which those coins could be considered, was as bank notes issued for small sums, and stamped on silver instead of paper." They were recoined by Mr. Bouton and bear the British King's head finely struck, instead of that of the Spanish monarch. Their recoinment was executed with great dispatch—no less than 528 being struck in a minute, and they cost one farthing a dollar. Many millions had been recoined; and, as they pass for more than their intrinsic value, they were not exported, and the bank gained a round sum by the coinage.
The Mother of the two Politiques, lately tried at Paris was the most accomplished and beautiful woman in France. The late Queen was heard to say, I know not how it happens, but with all the rest of the world I feel that I am a Queen, but with Madam De Poignac "Je ne Lis plus la Reine, je e suis que moi meme." "I am no longer Queen, I am only myself."
The London Monthly Commercial Reporter for June last, says "The traders of the American States continue to enlarge their traffic with the East Indies; but there is no reason to fear that they would injure the trade between England and the East, unless the price of freight from England to India should be enhanced enormously above what it is at present." The same report, says "the demands for goods for the West Indies, are for the present, rather increased by the new independence of the negroes in St. Domingo."
A new Philosophical Journal has been lately established at Madrid; the object of which is to treat of physical and mathematical sciences, natural history, agriculture, the different branches of literature and the fine arts.
In the British House of Commons July 5, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the report of the Corn Laws Bill, moved a clause, that nothing contained in the Act, from the time of its passing, should extend to any ships which may be on their passage to any port of the United Kingdom from the ports of the Baltic for one, and those of America for two months, which was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time.
The following article is from the (N. Y.) American Citizen, a democratic print. "Nothing is more idle than for a nation to think of obtaining respect, when she has no force to command it. The conduct of the British frigates in annoying the commerce of New-York, is just such as may be ever expected from the defenceless condition of the United States. It is not British but human nature."
A few vessels of war, which the United States can easily, and must sooner or later furnish, would ensure protection to their trade. They then could say, to those inclined to trespass "Gentlemen, you ought not, and you shall not do so." Until such measures are taken, all complaints are vain, and there can be no remedy. Mr. Jefferson has said many good things, and none more just, than that men "feel power and forget right."
Whatever may be the difference of political sentiments among us, and the animosity which it has occasioned, surely all should unite in supporting the dignity and safety of the nation. He is an unworthy citizen who would sacrifice these for any consideration. POLITICUS.
We have been favored, by a gentleman in this city, with a copy of an act of the assembly of Jamaica, respecting letters of attorney, &c. executed in the United States. American.
That from and immediately after the passing of this act, any conveyance, letter of attorney, or other deed whatsoever, which shall be hereafter executed in any of the United States of America, and shall be proved by a subscribing witness, or acknowledged by the party or parties before any of his majesty's consuls or vice-consuls, residing in any of those states, or before the chief justice of any of the said states, or before the chief justice or any of the judges of the supreme court of the said United States—and certified under the seal of any of the said states or the seal of the
said United States—shall be, and the same is hereby declared to be, as good and effectual in law, as if such conveyance, letter of attorney, or other deed, had been respectively proved or acknowledged before a judge of any court of record in this island—any law, custom or usage to the contrary notwithstanding."
Many of our readers are perhaps unacquainted with the degree of refinement to which the sports of the English have attained. Their bull-baiting, cock fighting, and boxing matches are surpassed by a species of diversion of which we confess we have till now been ignorant—we allude to grinning-matches! A London paper of June 18, gives us the particulars of a grinning-match, which had taken place near Bridlington, for a quantity of tobacco. There were three competitors for the prize, all of whom were speedily seized with the most painful symptoms, in consequence of the most violent contortions, and two of them died in three days, and the other soon after. The father of the third on going to visit him, was so shocked with his appearance, that he took to his bed, and never rose again!!
The rigid moralist may affect to frown upon a diversion which goes to deprive his fellow-man of life—but a correspondent thinks, that when under proper regulations this new way of killing men may be made to produce the happiest effects in our own unpolished country. His plan is, that it should be substituted in the place of duelling, to decide affairs of honor! The true, on first thought it does not seem quite so genteel to die by grinning as to be shot; but custom overcomes the strongest prejudices—and then what a saving of powder and ball! And besides all this, grinning has the advantage over duelling, that as in the latter but one of the parties is seldom killed, and sometimes neither, the example before us gives us reason to hope, that in the latter each party might be gratified with seeing his antagonist "grinning his last ghastly smile!"

JUST RECEIVED BY ROBERT & JOHN GRAY, And for Sale at their Book Store, For Jaundice and Bilious Complaints, WHEATON'S GENUINE PATENT BITTERS, Price only 58 cents, Secured to him by Letters Patent from the President of the United States.
A MEDICINE extremely useful and efficacious for curing jaundice and bilious disorders, and removing that sinking, faint and distressed feeling at the stomach, difficulty of breathing, loss of appetite, and sleepy, dull heaviness in the forepart of the day, weakness and trembling of the limbs, dizziness of the head, and yellowness of countenance, complaints so common to jaundice and bilious people.
Also removing obstructions of the bowels, and of urine, cholicky complaints, pukings, and purgings, indigestion, sick head ache, rheumatic complaints, &c. which result from a collection of foul, bilious matter in the stomach, and at length restoring the constitution to strength and vigor.
They are also found very useful to carry off worms, and to cure rickety children, and may be used with safety in all constitutions, ages and sexes.
The many cures that have been effected in New England, by the above medicine (as may be seen in the bills) prevent the necessity of further recommendation.
LIKEWISE Wheaton's patent Itch Ointment, Price only 50 cents.
The only medicine in the world which will certainly cure the ITCH, without having in it any thing either dangerous or disagreeable, it being composed mostly of ingredients never before discovered or used in that disorder.
One box cures a person, and there need be no washing after the use of it, as the skin is generally left cleaner and finer than.
ALSO, Lee's genuine Windham Antibilious PILLS.
REANIMATION. WHEN the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by imprudence, inheritance, accident or disease, are tottering upon the brink of the grave, it is not in despair that relief is to be found: There is a medicine which has restored thousands from infirmity and misery to health and happiness, which is
THE AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL.
Since this excellent medicine was first discovered by Dr. Bardwell, several thousand females have experienced its salutary effects; many of whom had been reduced to the brink of the grave having used every remedy recommended as specific in those complaints, and had made every application to the faculty that could be obtained. The following recent case is selected from a numerous list.
From Mrs. Eleanor Wadsworth, Providence, (R. I.)
Sir, WE received yours and with much pleasure comply with your request, as my daughter has certainly received very great benefit from Dr. Bardwell's Aromatic Lozenges of Steel.
In the winter of 1808 my daughter, who is in her 17th year caught a very severe cold, which with the violent fever which accompanied it, confined her to her room upwards of four months; during this period we paid for Doctors bills and consultations 150 dollars. The fever left her in the most deplorable, and debilitated state with hardly any use of her limbs, so that we were obliged to carry her from the bed to the chair. Being strongly persuaded by the Doctor we went to Ball's Town Springs, and stayed the season, and thought she gained considerable strength by the use of the waters; but by the fatigue of the passage (having very rough weather) she became as weak and her cough much worse than before. During the last winter her whole nervous system has been so irritable, and her spirits so low and depressed, that death to her was desirable. In the latter end of January we saw an Advertisement recommending the Lozenges of Steel for similar complaints, we immediately purchased a packet of them, and before the whole of them were taken, they evidently produced a change in her system, which no medicine before had been able to effect, we sent for two more packets. It is now fourteen days since she began to mend; and has laid aside her crutches, has been twice on horse back, and if the weather should prove favorable we intend coming to Peeks-kill early in April to stop until we go to Ball's Town Springs; from there we will send you our address, where with pleasure we will satisfy any enquiries.
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 name of Thomas Stokes & Co. are affixed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
The Lozenges of Steel, are only to be had, in Alexandria, of Messrs. R. & J. GRAY.
WHO HAVE ALSO ON HAND, A SUPPLY OF Family & Patent Medicines, CONSISTING OF-
Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges; Ague and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; Annodyne Essence for Head Aches; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; Atkinson's Essence of Mustard; Scotch Ointment for the Itch; Tooth Ach Drops; Aromatic Lozenges; Essence of the Woods; &c. &c.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills For the prevention and cure of Yellow, Bilious and Patria Fevers.
Every experienced physician knows what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile in the habit; however salutary a due secretion of this fluid may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known, from its putrefacent qualities, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious
Pills, in curing, and particularly in preventing this dreadful disease, is universally known in the islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint agents in all the mercantile towns in the United States, for the accommodation of the public. The Antibilious Pills are therefore, in an especial manner, recommended as a preventive, deserving the notice of all persons going to the West Indies, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible reason, that can result from long and extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the prevalence of our fall fevers, will prove an infallible preventative, and that, if taken in the early stages of these fevers, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age.
In sickly times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, once a week.
Observe that the signatures of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not 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 inflammation, dimness, itching, and films; never fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unpalled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills. An agreeable and certain preventive of the 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.
CHAMBAUD'S Antasthmatic Lozenges. A radical cure for coughs, colds, asthma and consumption, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c.
Mr. CHAMBAUD, the sole proprietor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relieving many persons in a most precarious state of health. In common colds this medicine produces so salutary a perspiration that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convulsive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strengthening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, affecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Asthma and confined consumptions have repeatedly been eradicated by them. Infants in the hooping cough, and women during pregnancy, may take them without the least fear of danger, and with the greatest expectation of relief, nor can it be administered at an improper season.
Dr. BARDWELL'S Annodyne Essence, for all kinds of Head Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Annodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumption in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, instantly submit to its penetrating powers. This invaluable Annodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had failed; by its salutary operation, it insensibly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby prevents the return of the most obstinate periodical head aches.
SPRING PHYSIC. DR. HUNTER'S Anti-Bilious Pills are unquestionably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of scurvy, scrofula eruptions, leprosy, and other disorders originating from a corruptive state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Ellison, of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing scrofula complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnson, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was afflicted with a most horrid leprosy, must have convinced every one who has read the particulars of these cases, besides which, a variety of proofs of their efficacy, authenticated by persons of character and respectability are open to the examination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supersede the necessity of any further comment from the Proprietor, yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcible its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.
Where also may be had, Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges.—These Lozenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but effectually prevent their return. Those families who have followed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the Spring and Fall among their children, as their common physic, have now the happiness to find those children, which appeared sickly and consumptive, in the bloom of health, being entirely delivered from those dreadful vermin.
Sparta, Mount Pleasant, March 27, 1803.
We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for these last two years. We always suspected that she had worms, and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, so that we despaired raising her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being performed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them according to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offensive matter; the second brought away four monstrous thick worms nearly half a yard in length and the their
off, a large quantity of a myri, offensive matter. The vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently troubled have ceased—her appetite has become regular, and has over since enjoyed a perfect state of health, for which we are entirely indebted to this excellent medicine.
DR. BARDWELL'S Re-animating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life Of the cure of Consumption and Asthma. Disorders in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholic and Di- sentery.
Cautious in investigation, and attentive enquiry into the nature and laws of the animal economy, having long confirmed an opinion in the mind of the inventor, that all the maladies abovementioned, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequent weakness, the analogy of their source, by a natural inference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Re-animating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and attaining success, has obtained the warmest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprietors can confidently recommend as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world. Price, 1 dol. and 1 dollar and 50 cents per bottle. The large bottle contains nearly two of the small. Copious Directions for their use are sealed up with each bottle.
Dr. Stoughton's Cordial Bitters, faithfully prepared at the original warehouse, London.
This incomparable medicine has stood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near an hundred years, in the cure and prevention of,
Loss of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholic, urfets, hysterie vapours, faintness and trembling, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children, scurvey, obstructions or stop-ages, bilious fevers, sick fits, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknowledged by all who have tried their effects, to be far superior to the compositions formerly imposed in imitation thereof; the proprietor hath reduced the price to those who purchase largely above fifty per cent. Directions will be pasted on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeiters and upstart pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bitters; and in order to impose their trash on the public, they sometimes copy a part of the true advertisement and directions.
Specific Drops for Deafness. FOR many years have these drops been used with amazing success, in DEAFNESS & HARDNESS OF HEARING. Those who are unacquainted with the great relief afforded by this valuable medicine, are earnestly recommended to trial. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, and very often perfected a complete cure.
Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar.
