Copy of a letter from captain John Stinson, commander of the ship Huntress, to the secretary of the navy.
LONDON, August 20, 1805.
SIR—On my arrival at Liverpool, I wrote for the information of government, giving a statement of the capture of the ship Huntress, laden with government stores. On my arrival here Mr. Layman, informed me he had not written, induced me to forward this lest the first might miscarry.
On June the 1st, lat 36, 20, N. long. 74, 50, was brought too by a Spanish schooner privateer called La Maria, commanded by Antonio Lebo, from Porto Rico.—The reason Lebo gave for detaining the ship was, her being bound for a British port, and not having a Spanish passport. After robbing the ship of ten barrels of bread, one barrel of tar and sundry other articles,—took all my crew out excepting the cabin boy, put a prize-master and 11 Spaniards on board, and ordered the ship for Porto Rico.
On June 9th in sight of Bermudas, was re-taken by two English Guineamen; after taking the Spaniards out put a prize-master and crew on board, and ordered the ship for Liverpool, where she arrived on the 16th ult. much damaged.
I have the honor to be, Your very humble servant, (Signed) J. Stinson.

SIR, I have the honor to acquaint your excellency, that I was this morning brought to by four armed boats under Spanish colours who after exercising the utmost insolence, and without assigning the smallest reason, conducted me to this port.
The orders received from government were to proceed with all possible dispatch, to the commander of the American squadron in the Mediterranean. The serious consequences of this detention must be too obvious to your excellency to require remark. I shall only observe that if your government authorises indignities of this nature, to my own I must appeal for redress. I am sensible however that this cannot be the case, and persuade myself that your excellency will readily redress the insult offered to the American flag, in this instance, and take measures to prevent a repetition.
Under this impression, I am, very respectfully, your most obedient, (Signed) Joseph J. Maxwell.

SIR, I have to acquaint you that on the morning of the 15th of June last, Gibraltar bearing N. E. distant 2 leagues, was brought to by 4 Spanish Gun Boats, who without examining a paper or assigning any other reason, than their suspicion of my being an Englishman, took charge and conducted me into Algeciras.
It is necessary to remark, that my guns were at that time in the hold. Immediately on my arrival I stated officially the circumstance to the general of marines, which I also enclose for your perusal.—The boat was instantly discharged with many apologies and offers of supplies and assistance, should I stand in need of them. I was requested to wait a short time till the general's answer. I did so till 4 P. M. Apprehensive I might be detained much longer, and knowing the importance of the boat's joining you without the small-

Extract of a letter from Charles Pinckney, esq. minister at Madrid, to the secretary of state, dated Aug. 1805.
I HAVE written to you lately very often, informing you of the Spaniards being now in the habit of capturing our vessels as much as during the last war.—The following is the list transmitted to me of American vessels taken by the Spaniards, and sent into Algeciras for adjudication, since the date of my last to you: Brigantine Anne-Isabel, of Virginia, Williams, master.
Brigantine Vereries Pesa. Brigantine Dido, Shail, master, from Marseilles.
Ship Mary, Robert Stevenson. Ship Eagle, Nehemech Shaler, last from Liverpool.

Schooner Leffen, William Maret, of Virginia. Brigantine Diana, Silvester Simmons, of New Haven.
Extract of a letter from Charles Pinckney, esq. minister at Madrid, to the secretary of state, dated Sept. 22, 1805.
“MY last informed you that I was still under the necessity of remaining here until the 2d of October, on account of all the mules being embargoed for the king's service until that day, so that I could not before go to the Rio to take leave; that I had still been without the pleasure of seeing Mr. Irving or Mr. Boudoin, and that not being able to wait for them any longer, I should when I went away, leave Mr. Young charged with our affairs until they or one of them, came, that, during this time, and constantly, I had been busily employed with this court, endeavoring to arrest the numerous depredations of their privateers on our commerce, and their condemnations of our vessels, and that to do this my exertions have not only been unceasing, but that more than twenty letters have passed between Mr. Cevallos and myself on the subject. I have now the pleasure to send you the result, by enclosing the copy of a letter which I have just received from Cadiz, and which I have received in such an unquestionable shape as to leave no doubt of its authenticity. By this it appears that my exertions have been effectual, and will probably prevent future captures on that ground.”
[TRANSLATION.]
From the secretary of state and of the Marine to the Director-general of the fleet.
SIR, The minister of the United States, complaining of new injuries and captures of American vessels by Spanish cruisers, has given information of the carrying to Algeciras of eleven vessels of his nation, under pretext as he says, of their carrying English merchandise. The king being made acquainted with it, has been pleased to determine that, if there be no other cause for the capture of these vessels than that alleged by the minister, they should be put at liberty again; since, according to the 15th article of the treaty with the United States, the American flag secures the freedom of the merchandizes, although they may be enemies property. But if the cause of detention be any other, his majesty requires that they be decided in due course, and with as little delay as possible. I communicate it to you by the royal order, in order that you may communicate it to the generals of the departments of marine, in order that they may make it known to the commandants of marine in every district, and to the owners of privateers, informing them that they will be responsible for the injuries they may occasion.
St. Ildefonso, 3d Sept. 1805.
Consular office of the United States of America.
(L. S.)
GIBRALTAR.
On this 13th day of September, 1805,
personally appeared in my consular office of the United States of America, John Allen, commander of the sloop Ranger, belonging to the government of the aforesaid United States, and John Thompson, master's mate on board said sloop Ranger, who, after being sworn on the holy evangelists, did declare jointly and severally, each speaking for himself, that they sailed in and with said vessel from Boston in America, on or about the 21st day of July last, on the service of said government, in company with the sloop Traveller, commanded by captain Benjamin Prince, with whom they parted company a few days after their leaving Boston, by stress of weather.
That on the 23d of August last, being in latitude 40 deg. 32 min. north, and longitude 30 deg. 33 min. west, a schooner came up with them mounting six guns with sixteen blunderbusses, and about eighteen men, who, although the American colors were flying on board the Ranger and the vessel hove to, fired three broadsides at her without showing any colors, ordering captain Allen to go on board them, which he did; they then came on board the sloop Ranger, broke open captain Allen's chest and trunk, taking from them twelve white shirts, a suite of uniform, six pair of silk and six do. cotton stockings, twelve handkerchiefs, two blue jackets, three white dimity waistcoats, two new hats, two pair new shoes and two pair of nankin pantaloons, a spy glass, sixty three gallons brandy, butter, cheese, pork, and other articles of ship stores, likewise, the doctor's box, the mate's and some of the men's cloaths and money; also, a letter for the governor of Malta, and several other papers.
That the commander and crew of the said schooner privateer behaved in a most insulting and abusive manner, and they seemed by their appearance, language, dress and manners to have been Spaniards; wherefore they make this declaration, and protest, not only for the robbery committed but also for the insult shown the flag under which they sailed.

Consulate of the United States of America. ISLAND OF CUBA.
By this public instrument be it known unto all whom the same doth shall, or may concern, that on the day of the date hereof, before me, Henry Hill, jun. consul of the United States of America, for the island of Cuba, resident at Havanna, personally came and appeared William Cory, of Charleston, (South Carolina) master of the brig Ann, and Caleb Cory, mate of said brig, who being by me severally duly sworn on the holy evangelists of Almighty God, did solemnly depose and declare, that being at the port of Cavannas, in this island, in the month of May last, where they were loading said vessel with a cargo for the U. States, they saw lying there an American schooner, called the Betsey, of New Bedford, taken by a French privateer called the Eugene, commanded by captain Joseph Dumas, some time previous, and sent into that port, which said schooner had a cargo in, consisting of about 76 puncheons of rum, and seven or eight barrels of sugar.
That during their stay there, they frequently saw the people belonging to said privateer taking out the cargo of said captured schooner and carrying it on shore and selling it.
That the said privateersmen, to their knowledge, took out the whole of said vessel's cargo and carried it on shore, where it was sold—that it was so taken out and carried on shore, in open day without any ap-
pearance of opposition from the officers of the said port of Cavannas—that after the said privateersmen had plundered the whole of the cargo aforesaid, and taken it from the said vessel, and all her valuable rigging and sails, they took the said vessel off the mouth of the said harbor of Cavannas and sunk her.
And the deponent, William Cory, further saith, that the said privateersmen offered to sell him rum from the same cargo at thirty dollars a puncheon, which the deponent refused to buy even at that low price, well knowing they had no title to it, and that in them to dispose of it was robbery and piracy.
That he was informed by the guard which was on board his vessel, that said privateersmen, had bribed the principal officer of said port, by giving him four puncheons of rum to consent to the landing and sale of said cargo. And further the deponent say not.
(Signed) WM. CORY, CALEB CORY.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my consular seal, this eighth day of August, in the year of our lord 1805, and of the independence of the United States the thirtieth.

CONSULATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
(L. S.) Island of Cuba.
By this public instrument, be it known unto all whom the same shall, doth, or may concern, that I, Henry Hill, junior, consul of the United States of America for the island of Cuba, resident at Havanna, do hereby certify, that on the day of the date hereof, before me, personally came and appeared, Jacob R. Valk, late master, and George Alcock, late mate of and belonging to the schooner Sea Horse, of Charleston, who, on their solemn oaths, which they then took before me upon the holy evangelists of Almighty God, did severally, solemnly, depose and declare, that they, the deponents, on the ninth day of June, failed and departed in and with the said schooner, laden with a cargo of flour and German linens from Charleston aforesaid, bound on a voyage to Spanish America; that the said schooner, at the commencement thereof, was tight, staunch, and strong, and in every respect well fitted, furnished, found, manned and equipped for the due performance of the said voyage, with variable winds and weather, and without any particular occurrence until the thirteenth day of July, when they made the island of Blanca, on the fourteenth the Tortugas, and on the next day arrived off Laguira; that they lay off and on Laguira aforesaid, until the twentieth following. In the course of which time, he, the deponent Jacob R. Valk, made application for admittance to entry; and being informed that that port, as well as all others on that coast, were shut against neutrals, he proceeded agreeable to his orders and instructions for this port of Havanna. And the said several deponents did farther depose, that in proceeding for the said port nothing material happened until the twenty-fourth following of said month of July, when being off the island of Jamaica, they were bro't too by his Britannic majesty's armed schooner Superior, and upon being examined and found to be neutral were politely dismissed; that they prosecuted the said voyage, making the best of their way for this said port, and experienced nothing remarkable until the fourth day of August, instant, when doubling Cape San Antonio, in this island of Cuba, they were brought to by a schooner under French colours, and boarded by an officer and four men, who took possession of said schooner Sea Horse, and sent the deponent Jacob R. Valk, and two of his crew, on board the said privateer with the said schooner's papers—that the officer on board the said schooner Sea Horse, hailed the commander of said privateer, and said that as he knew her to be a good prize, he would bring her to anchor; immediately upon which both vessels bore away for Punta Fuera, a bout four leagues from Cape San Antonio.
That the commander of said privateer, aided by several Spaniards, who came on board her in canoes from their habitations on that coast, began rumaging the Sea Horse, opening the hatches, and breaking open the packages and cases of dry goods, principally consisting of German linens, whilst the crew of the said privateer were continually passing and repassing from one of the said vessels to the other, and most of them in a state of intoxication.
And the said deponent, Jacob R. Valk, did further depose, that being detained on board said privateer from the fourth to the sixth, he had ample opportunities of observing and examining her, and found her to be an American built vessel, having painted on her stern, Caroline, of Charleston, which was very visible, notwithstanding some black paint had been put on it to efface it but which was not done effectually; that she was mounted with one carriage gun and one swivel, and supplied with small arms, and manned with ten men and two negro boys, exclusive of the captain, who said his name was Paul, and the privateer the Volante. And the said deponent did further depose, that the said Paul told him

that he should be sent in an open boat to Hayana, and upon his answering that he was determined to remain with his vessel wherever she went, the said Paul replied, that if he again opened his mouth he would set him ashore in the woods, and leave him to perish. And the said several deponents did further depose, that on the same evening they were all embarked in an open boat under the conduct of a Spanish fisherman, to go to a place about seventeen leagues distance, called Mantua, where they received their clothes, which had been previously taken from them.
And the said Jacob R. Valk did further depose, that the said captain of said privateer, after having robbed and plundered him of all his sea charts, his vessel, and his own private papers, and also his perspective glass or telescope, and twenty-one ounces in gold, returned him six of said ounces to defray his expenses to this said port. And the said several deponents did several further depose, that James Richardson and Jacob Shoemaker, both citizens of the United States, and seamen belonging to said Schooner Sea Horse, conducted themselves upon the captain aforesaid in a very mutinous manner, and remained with their own voluntary will with the said privateer.
And I, the said consul, do further certify, that the said Jacob R. Valk, did upon his arrival at Hayana, aforesaid, in due time and form, note and enter with me, his protest, in all the premises aforesaid; and now requires of me to extend the same, and make this public act thereof, referring to himself the privilege of making any other protest in the premises, as occasion may require.
Wherefore the said Jacob R. Valk doth, and I, the said consul at his request, do, by these presents, most publicly and solemnly protest as well against the governor at Laguira aforesaid, and all other public officers whom it may concern, for the refusal of admittance to entry as aforesaid, at that port as against the commander, officers, and crew of the said privateer, for the capture and detention, and robbery and plunder of the said Schooner Sea Horse, and her cargo, and against all and every person and persons whom it shall or may concern, for all damages, costs, charges and expenses already suffered, or which shall or may be hereafter suffered, and sustained in the premises on account thereof, that the same be borne by those to whom of right it shall appertain to be adjudged and recovered in time and place convenient.
Done and protested at Havana aforesaid, (Signed) JACOB R. VALK, GEORGE ALLCOCK.
In testimony whereof, the said deponents have hereunto subscribed their names, and I, the said consul, have hereunto set my hand and affixed my consular seal this twenty-first day of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and five, and of the independence of the United States, the thirtieth. (Signed) HENRY HILL, Jun. (To be continued.)
SALEM, December 6. From Tonnigen.—Capt. Cheever, from Tonnigen, informs, that a very unpleasant difficulty has taken place between Mr. Forbes, the American Consul at Hamburg, and the French Minister there, on the subject of the seizure by the French, in the Elbe, of the American ship Nienstaden, which, without any legal condemnation, had been brought to Hamburg and offered for sale. Mr. Forbes had publicly cautioned all persons against purchasing the ship, and had caused legal and quiet possession to be taken by the owner, (a Mr. Keith, of Alexandria, Virginia,) after which, a party of French had forcibly dispossessed the rightful owner in the harbor of Hamburg. The affair was thus situated when Capt. C. left Hamburg, and the Consul had demanded indemnity, or a restoration of the property, of the Senate of that city.

NORFOLK, December 10. A letter received by a gentleman in this place from his correspondent in Lisbon, dated the 19th of September, states, that advice had been that day received from Madrid, of much importance, the particulars of which had not transpired. It is however affirmed that the enemies of the Queen and prince of peace, had proceeded to oppose them by violence; that the Spanish troops in the interest of, and favoring the party of the Prince of Austria, had fallen upon the Swiss Guards of the Prince of Peace, and had killed the greater part of them. The letter states further, that in the best informed circles, it is confidently believed that a complete revolution in the politics of Spain was effected. [Ledger.]
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, Nov. 16. On the 8th instant, arrived at this town, the representatives from nine different nations of Indians, eight of whom are from the territory of Louisiana, all bound on a visit to the president of the United States. Four of these nations reside on the head waters of Platte and Canzos Rivers, near the coast of North Mexico. They have an intimate acquaintance with Santa Fe, and the other Spanish settlements in that quarter. These four tribes alluded to are the Ganzas, Attos, Missouries and Panis; the Osages are from the river of the same name. The Ayowas from the river Demoin; Socks & Foxes from the Mississippi, and a Pattowatomy from towards Detroit, all conducted by captain Stoddard, cidevant commandant of Upper Louisiana. We are informed that a considerable detachment of troops have already been sent to form an establishment near the coast of Santa Fe, and that a large reinforcement is to join them in the Spring, which will effectually extend and protect our peltry trade, and open a safe and easy communication with the Dons.
During the Indians stay here, they entertained the citizens with several of their war dances, in which they behaved with the strictest decorum. A considerable number of them are old men of very large stature; their countenances indicate profound mental powers, and the dignity of their manners is truly philosophic and impressive. It is said there are several orators among them whose eloquence would do honor to a civilized state.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 16.
The house of Delegates of Virginia have directed a bill to be brought in giving the magistrates jurisdiction in debts not exceeding twenty dollars—Yeas 105: nays 36.
The following articles which are one day the latest, are received by an arrival at New-York:
PARIS, October 21. The success of the grand army has occasioned such a desertion among the Austrian cavalry, that the saddlers of Metz and Strasburg have received orders to forward by postchaises, bridles and saddles, to mount the French hussars and dragoons on Austrian horses.
Letters from Coire announce that important successes have been gained by the French army in Italy. The Austrians have been attacked at Reveredo, and driven from their positions. Marshal Massena had advanced a part of his army into the Italian Tyrol.
STRASBURGH, Oct. 19. All the letters from the right bank of the river agree in stating that the French army is master of the city of Ulm. This news coming from so many various sources must be believed.
The following important resolutions have been laid before the Virginia Legislature:
At this important crisis in the affairs of their country, the Legislature of Virginia feel it to be a duty they owe to their constituents, from among whom they have so lately emanated, and whose wishes and opinions they therefore distinctly understand to express the following sentiments: They have seen with admiration and pleasure in the intercourse of the present administration of the government of the U. States with foreign nations, that just, rational, and liberal policy which should ever characterise the acts of a government resting on the will, and maintaining the rights and interests of a free and enlightened people—With real mortification have they discovered, that from all nations the same correct and dignified conduct may be looked for in vain. They have observed with indignation the injuries which power and ambition, making the most erroneous
calculations of the strength and policy of the United States have inflicted on the fair commerce and immutable rights of our fellow citizens: With astonishment they have seen the most rational principles in the laws of nations, disregarded and contravened by governments pretending to act on that liberal and enlarged justice which it behoves every enlightened nation to pursue: They have beheld with corroding sensations, Spain evading the most equitable contracts on frivolous pretexts, and declining too to enter into a fair adjustment of our differences: They have learned with still more unpleasant feelings, that inroads have been made by the regular officers and soldiers of that government into parts of Orleans and the Mississippi which had been delivered up to us, and that our citizens have been seized and our property plundered—
Resolved, therefore, that the legislature of Virginia, have the highest confidence in the wisdom, virtue and firmness of the president of the United States and his administration, and that they are ready, whenever they shall direct, to join a contest with any nation that has injured us; and "try which party can do the other the most harm."
A motion was made that the house come to the following resolution:
Whereas this house deem it proper to express the approbation it feels of the conduct of such of the citizens of this commonwealth as singularize themselves in the service of their country; and that honorary rewards bestowed for gallant exploits, are not only congenial to the spirit of a republican government, but also offer an useful encouragement to the enterprising character of America.
Resolved Therefore, That this house for the above reasons, and in order to express the high sense it entertains of the valor and intrepidity of lieutenant Presly N. O'Bannon, a citizen of this commonwealth, in executing the orders of his gallant commander, in the attack and capture of Derne, in conjunction with his brave countrymen, and as an honorary reward for his services in the expedition against Tripoli, that the executive of this commonwealth be requested and they are hereby requested to have made a sword of the manufacture of Virginia, and a gold medal, one side of which shall be engraved with a description of the achievement in erecting the American standard on the walls of Derne, and the other side with a figure of the Goddess of Liberty, holding in one hand a sword and pointing with the other towards the battle, with the following motto on the same side; 'Let my votaries be assured of my protection.'
And that the executive be requested to take the earliest opportunity which may offer, after the said sword and medal are prepared, of presenting them to lieutenant O'Bannon.
On a motion made, Ordered, That the said resolution do lie on the table.

KENTUCKY LANDS.
The Subscriber has FOR SALE,
53,500 ACRES of Land in Hardin county, Kentucky, binding for 20 miles on the western shore of Knollion, and lying about 25 miles from Hardin court house. Knollion is navigable from the land into Green river, and is the best fish stream in Kentucky.
This land, though near the Barrens, is well wooded, and remarkably well watered. The outlines include 70,000 acres, but there are 16 or 17,000 acres of elder surveys within the lines, which are accurately laid down by actual survey made three years ago, for the purpose of ascertaining interferences. There is no land in Kentucky more free from dispute than the quantity offered for sale. On these elder surveys there are two mills and many families, and on the subscribers land there are about a dozen families, deficiences of buying their settlements, and he has reason to believe 100 families more would have purchased and settled on the land in the present year, had it suited his affairs to have sold out in single parcels; that part of the country possessing health, and many local advantages, and being near the centre of the state.
Samuel Turner of this town, knows this land well, and will take the trouble to give a just description of its quality, to those who may desire it.
This land, if applied for prior to the 20th December, will be sold at 50 cents per acre, on bond with interest, payable in 1, 2, 3 & 4 years. If the bonds be satisfactorily secured, unquestionable title will at once be given for the land.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, 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 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 Henry, 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 favor of his 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 unfavorable 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 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    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weakness,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluoribus (or whites)  Obstinate gleet,    Barrenness,  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 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 complaint 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 Ischiatic, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored 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.
W. 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 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 complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary, a particular excellence of this and only 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 humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the latest and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its reluctance 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 gases—itching in the nose and about the feet—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grunting of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with 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 Ruffled.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been consistently 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 advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in each case.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—
By Hamilton's WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty 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 his 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 weakened 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 vigor—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 neighbors, 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, 1803.
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 mere mucus but upon close inspection quite replete with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually infest 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 other disagreeable sensations, is often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which 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.
