DOCUMENTS
Accompanying a message from the President of the United States—Comprising at full length, all the papers not previously inserted in the National Intelligencer.
(G.)
Declaration of John Evans, master of the ship Eliza of Norfolk, and of Charles Simmons, Jun. and Edward Lowrie, seamen belonging to said ship.
Before me Henry Hill, jun. Consul of the States of America, for the island of Cuba, resident at Havana, on the day of the date hereof, personally came and appeared John Evans, master of the ship Eliza of Norfolk, and Charles Simmons, Jun. and Edward Lowrie, seamen belonging to the said ship, who being by me severally duly sworn upon the holy evangelist of Almighty God did depose and say, and first the said John Evans.
That he sailed from Norfolk in the said ship, on or about the twelfth day of October last, with a cargo on board consisting of staves and provisions, bound for Kingston (Jamaica) the said cargo being the sole property of Conway & Fortesque Whittle, merchants of Norfolk and Citizens of the United States; that he arrived in and with said ship on or about the 5th day of November following, when the said cargo was sold for and on account of the said Messrs. Conway and Fortesque Whittle.
That from Kingston he proceeded in and with the said ship to Anotta bay, on the north side of said island of Jamaica, for the purpose of loading his said ship with a cargo, where he actually purchased and loaded on board said ship a cargo consisting of one hundred and seventy nine puncheons of rum, for the whole account and risque of the aforesaid Messrs. Conway and Fortesque Whittle.
That he sailed from thence in and with said ship with said cargo, on or about the 21st day of March following, bound to Norfolk aforesaid, with all the necessary and usual documents on board to prove the said ship and cargo bona fide American property belonging to citizens of the United States.
That on the twenty-seventh day of the same month, while peaceably and lawfully navigating his said ship for the port of Norfolk aforesaid, then being in sight of the Island of Pines, on the south side of this said island of Cuba, he was met with, boarded and unlawfully captured by a privateer under French colours, called the Vigilant, commanded by one Amado Dejan, as he understood, who forcibly and unlawfully deprived this deponent of the possession of his ship and cargo, and placed a prize master and men on board taken out of the said privateer, and with force & violence took this deponent out of the said ship, together with Ouess Danion, first mate and Richard Thomas, second mate thereof, and six of the seamen of his said ship and landed them on the west end of the said isle of Pines with only one day's provisions, and without the means of procuring further sustenance. That this deponent with his said mates and crew, remained at said part of said island, which is entirely uninhabited, about two weeks and supported themselves on fish which they caught, there being no other food or sustenance to be procured; at the expiration of which time, that he, with his said mates and crew, took passage in a Spanish vessel which casually touched there, and were transported to the east end of said island of Pines, where there are some inhabitants; from whence this deponent, with his said mates and crew, after remaining four or five days, took passage in a Spanish vessel and proceeded to Batabano, in this island of Cuba, from whence they proceeded by land to the city of Havana.
That after being some days in this city, this deponent heard his said ship had been taken into Batabano, and soon after saw the prize master here who was put on board his said ship, who gave to this deponent the following papers of said ship, declaring at same time that he considered the said ship and cargo American property, that the captain of said privateer had absconded and left him without support, and that he had no idea of pursuing her as lawful prize, and had abandoned her: that the papers which were delivered to this deponent were the following:
1. The Mediterranean pass of said ship.
2. Sea letter.
3. Clearance from Norfolk.
4. Articles of agreement between master and mariners of said ship.
5. Certified list of crew.
6. Bill of health.
7. Ship's log-book.
That the said ship had a register and certificates of property of cargo, bills of lading, invoices, &c. at the time of capture, which were taken from him and which were not delivered up with the other papers, and which this deponent understood, and has reason to believe, were unlawfully and wantonly destroyed. That this deponent, after ascertaining that his said ship was in Batabano aforesaid, and after receiving the said papers, did, on the 7th day of May last, present to his excellency the marquis of Somervelos, capt. gen. of said island of Cuba, a memorial, wherein he stated the capture of the said ship, and prayed that she might be restored to the rightful owners, from whom she had been unlawfully captured.
That not having any reply to his memorial, he shortly after again memorialized his excellency, praying that he would order his ship to be restored; that not having any reply to this his second memorial, and understanding that a part of his crew, who were suffered to remain on board at the time of capture, were detained as prisoners on board in the said port of Batabano, and were suffering for the want of the necessaries of life, and that the Frenchmen who remained on board, and the Spaniards from shore, were daily plundering from his said ship and cargo: and wishing to know the state thereof, and to grant some relief to his crew, he proceeded to Batabano without a passport (the captain general having refused him one) with intent to go on board his said ship. That on his arrival at Batabano he was prevented by the commandant there from going on board his said ship, and was ordered by him immediately to return to this city, or that he would send him back prisoner under a guard of soldiers. Wherefore this deponent was obliged to return. That on the fourteenth day of June he again memorialized his excellency, presenting therewith all the papers of the aforesaid ship, delivered up to him by the prize master aforesaid (except the sea letter which was presented with his first memorial.) In consequence of which, on the day following a decree was given, ordering his said ship and cargo to be restored and delivered him, and a passport granted for him to proceed to Batabano and take possession thereof.
That for this purpose he proceeded to Batabano, and on his arrival there, the 24th of June, he presented his passport and order to the commandant there, who sent with him an officer and two soldiers to execute the said order and give him possession of his said ship. That accordingly, on the 25th day of June, he received possession of his said ship, and on examination thereof and of her cargo there was a deficiency of the following articles which had been plundered from her since the capture aforesaid, to wit: Two boats, a string cable, three anchors, two new topsails, a new foresail, four studding sails, two royals, several spars, all her spare running rigging, all her cabin furniture and water casks, besides blocks and many other articles, and from her cargo 96 whole puncheons rum, there being only eighty three remaining on board, and many of these wanting from ten to fifty gallons, so this deponent conceiving that the contents of the said eighty three puncheons would not more than fill sixty.
That an account was presented to him at Batabano against said ship, of upwards of nine hundred dollars, for various articles which had been taken up, upon the credit of the said ship, by the Frenchmen who captured her, which this deponent was obliged to satisfy before he was suffered to depart with his said ship.
That on the 12th day of July inst. he departed in and with the said ship from the bay of Batabano, and arrived at this port of Havana, on the 26th day of July inst. without any material accident happening, and came to anchor at the mouth of the harbour not being permitted to come on with said ship, for the purpose of supplying him with the necessary stores, cables, &c. to proceed on his voyage to Norfolk aforesaid, whither he is bound.
And the aforesaid Charles H. Simmons and Edward Lowrie depose and declare, that all and every the matters and things set forth and declared by the said John Evans in the preceding declaration, relating to the capture of the said ship, and to the deficiency therein stated of her cargo, apparel furniture, &c. are to their knowledge just and true.
That they were detained on board the said ship after the capture, and held prisoners on board, frequently waiting for the necessaries of life until she was given up to the said captain Evans, as stated in his declaration.
That before the said ship was taken into Batabano, she was brought to anchor by the
said privateersmen upon the coast of Cuba, about ten leagues to the west end of said port of Batabano where they took from her cargo a number of puncheons of rum, and put them on board of a schooner.
That the said ship was again brought to anchor before her arrival at Batabano, about one league from the port, where the said privateersmen also took from her cargo a number of puncheons of rum and put them on board a Spanish sloop, which these deponents understood belonged to the king's pilot at Batabano who assisted the said privateersmen in the robbery.
That on the said ship's arrival at Batabano a number of puncheons of rum were there taken out of said ship and carried on shore by the said privateersmen, assisted by some Spaniards from shore, who during the said ship's remaining there, night after night smuggled on shore from the said ship quantities of rum, which they drew from the puncheons on board into small kegs. That the said Frenchmen and Spaniards daily plundered the rigging and furniture of said ship and were very abusive and gave much ill treatment to these deponents.

And the said John Evans having applied to me the said consul to make this his said protest in the premises, I have granted this public certificate thereof to serve and avail him and all in the premises aforesaid as occasion may require.
Wherefore, the said John Evans in behalf of himself, the freighters, owners and all others concerned in the said vessel and cargo, doth, and I the said consul at his desire, do by these presents protest as well against the commander, officers and crew of the aforementioned privateer, as against all and every person or persons concerned therein, for the capture of the said vessel, and the robbery and plunder committed upon the said vessel and cargo, for all damages, losses, costs and expences, already sustained or which shall or may hereafter be sustained, suffered and incurred in the premises on account thereof.
Done and protested in the city of Havana agreeably to mercantile laws in such cases used and approved of.
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 the second 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.

NEW-YORK, Dec. 18.
FOREIGN NEWS—continued—by the ship Neptune, Stanton, from Liverpool, arrived at this port.
The following is a summary of the intelligence contained in the French and Dutch papers to the 2d ult. received in London on the 6th and 7th of November.—Though it is not given in detail, as in the London prints, yet we presume it will be satisfactory to our patrons.
The last Bulletin (the 4th) of which our readers were in possession before the arrival of these papers, brought down the operations of the two armies to the action Guntzburg; general Mack had then taken up a position at Ulm. Bonaparte's great object was to force the Austrians to evacuate the right bank of the Danube, and concentrate themselves on the left bank at Ulm and the environs. Yet after the action of Guntzburg the Austrians still maintained themselves upon the Iller, and their line extended to Memmingen, their left being at Ulm and their right at Memmingen. Whilst the divisions under marshals Ney and Lannes, pressed closer towards Ulm, marshal Soult marched against the Austrian left wing at Memmingen. He arrived before the town on the 14th and summoned it to surrender. After some negotiation the summons was complied with, and the garrison consisting of nine battalions and ten pieces of cannon surrendered. Soult immediately pushed on to Biberach, and Ochsenhausen to cut off the Austrians' retreat by that road. He reached Biberach on the morning of the 15th.—Meanwhile general Mack endeavored to clear the enemy from the environs of Ulm. On the 12th a sortie was made upon Dupont's division, which occupied Albeck, on the left of the Danube—six thousand French according to the French accounts, successfully resisted 25,000 Austrians, and took 1,500 prisoners. Ulm was then invested. Whilst Soult was attacking Mem-
mingen, Marshal Ney closed in upon Ulm, and passing the bridge over the Danube, attacked the position of Elchingen, a little above Ulm. A very warm action took place, but the Austrians, inferior in number, were at length obliged to fall back to the entrenchments of Ulm, with the loss of 3000 men taken prisoners. Lannes' division, at the same time, occupied the heights which command the plain, and Marmont posted himself at the bridge Unterkircher and Oberkircher, at the confluence of the Iller with the Danube. It seems on the 14th, to have been determined by the Austrians in Ulm, that a part of the army should remain in and occupy the attention of the enemy at Ulm, the remainder, and probably the greater part under Prince Ferdinand, should attempt to make its escape; the 5th Bulletin says that in the night of the 14th, he marched towards Biberach; if that be the fact, he soon abandoned his intention of attempting his retreat that way, having probably received the account of Soult's division being taken Memmingen, and being on the march to Biberach. The sixth bulletin says, that instead of proceeding southward to the Tyrol, he took a northerly course to Aalen.
Prince Ferdinand marched to join Hohenzoellen's division at Aalen. Murat's division was sent in pursuit of him, and came up with the rear of Wernick's division at Langenau. A short action took place, in which the Austrians lost 3000 men and 1000 prisoners. Murat then proceeded to Heidenheim, and Lannes to Aalen and Nördlingen. The heavy baggage and waggons considerably retarded the retreat of the Austrians. On the 17th Murat came up with them at Neresheim, and an action took place in which the Austrians lost 1000 men. On the 18th the French overtook Wernick's division, surrounded it, and forced it to capitulate. The reserve artillery and baggage of the Austrians were also surrendered. On capitulation, Murat continued to pursue Prince Ferdinand, who threw himself into the Prussian territory, and took the road to Nuremberg with 1000 horse and some artillery—Murat headed him, which brought on an action on the road between Furth and Nuremberg on the 21st. All the Austrian artillery and baggage were taken. On the night of the 21st Murat lay at Nuremberg, where he remained on the 22nd to rest himself. In his pursuit from Albeck to Nuremberg, he is said to have taken 1500 waggons, and 16,000 men, including Wernick's division. Prince Ferdinand, however, succeeded in making his escape.
All the debouches of Ulm having been occupied by the 15th, Bonaparte appeared before it, and preparations were made to storm the entrenchments. The Austrian General Prince of Lichtenstein, was sent for by Bonaparte, who expressed his wishes that the town would capitulate; for if he took it by storm, he should be under the necessity of acting as he did at Jaffa, where the whole garrison was put to the sword. The Prince required that the officers and soldiers should be at liberty to return to Austria. Bonaparte after some objection agreed to the request, provided Prince Ferdinand would pledge himself that they should not serve again till exchanged. The Prince replied, that Ferdinand was no longer in Ulm. On the 17th, Ulm surrendered by capitulation; but the surrender was not to take place if by midnight on the 25th Oct. an Austrian or Russian army should appear before it was capable of raising the blockade. But in the meantime the French were to be put in possession of one of the gates of Ulm and the bridge over the Danube, which was, in fact, tantamount to a surrender of the town before the 25th. Yet Bonaparte's determination was not to wait so long; it was necessary to lead on Mack step by step; he proposes first to give the Austrians till the 23th, an offer, which he thought would be conceived by Mack to be a very generous one, but he couples that offer with the demand of a gate and a bridge which affords him an immediate entrance into the town. No sooner, however, has he got the demand complied with, than he sends Mack on the 19th and makes him consent to a second capitulation, which entirely does away the condition granted in the first. And upon what ground does Mack accede to this second? merely upon Berthier's assurance that the Austrians are on the other side of the Inn; that Lannes is pursuing Prince Ferdinand; that Wernick has capitulated, and that there is no possibility of succour reaching Ulm. Mack, therefore, consented to a second capitulation, and evacuated Ulm on the 20th.
The French say, that in those several affairs, they have taken 60,000 prisoners.
The campaign has been opened in Italy but with nothing like the same success.

in Germany. We hear nothing of any battles in the Italian Tyrol, nor the storming of the Austrian camp at Roveride— but a bulletin from the army of Italy, states that on the 18th ultimo, an attack was made on the bridge of the old Castle of Verona, on the bridge which blockaded up the bridge in the wall which battered down, and twenty four companies of light troops with the 1st division, crossed to the other side of the Adige. The Austrians fought with the utmost obstinacy until dark. The bulletin most probably they were driven from their positions, and lost fifteen hundred killed and wounded, and as many prisoners.
We are happy to find that the Archduke Ferdinand has made his escape. It was reported in some of the Paris journals of the 28th, that accounts of his being taken, along with four hundred horse had been received, but it did not seem to have been true.
The news from Nuremberg, of the 23d. several days later than that in the Paris papers, states that prince Murat has returned from the pursuit. He went no farther than Gravenberg. Both parties in this chase violated the Prussian neutrality.
Murat then came back by Newmark. This is four days later than the surrender of general Werneck. There are no authentic accounts of any actions with the combined Austrians and Russians. We find however, an authentic account of the junction of General Kinnmayer with the first Russian army. It took place about the 15th and therefore the Russians are about 48,000 men. That of General Kinnmayer, about twelve thousand at most. This army of sixty thousand men, is the only force with which, the immense army of Bonaparte, amount at least to one hundred and twenty thousand has in the first instance to contend.
We find by letters from Madrid, of the 12th of October, that 3000 Spanish troops, under the command of General O'Farrel, are to be sent to Italy to join the French.
An interesting paper has been issued by Count Hardenberg, dated the 14th of October, on the subject of violation of the neutrality on the Prussian territory. It speaks in severe terms of the unexpected measure of the forcible violation of the Prussian territory, and announces that precautions are to be taken for the future protection of the neutrality of the Prussian dominions.
A Deal letter of this morning announces the sailing of the expedition from the Downs, with a favorable wind.
Our Dover letter states, that a great number of vessels are collecting there for the purpose, as it is supposed, of making an attack upon some of the enemies ports.
LONDON, November 7. The public rejoicings last night were partial; Lord Nelson's death had impressed every heart with grief. At the theatres tributes were paid to his memory; there were but few illuminations; to night we understand, there will be a general one.
An impression of 3000 of last night's Gazette Extraordinary, were sent down to Yarmouth, in order to be transmitted in a fast sailing cutter to the continent.
Admiral Collingwood's conduct has obtained the fullest approbation; and last night dispatches were sent off to Plymouth to be forwarded to him by the Acasta, containing a commission, which appoints him to the command of the ships in the Mediterranean, with the same powers as Lord Nelson had.
Lord Nelson had accomplished the 47th year of his age; having just equalled in the amount of his years, the number of ships of the line he had taken from the enemy.
The squadron commanded by Sir Richard Strachan is still off Cape Finisterre, where they had received the intelligence of the Rochefort squadron, which on the 30th ult. was not in port, and was supposed to be afraid to make land.
His Majesty's ship the Prince of Wales, may be hourly expected at Spithead with Sir R. Calder. She left the fleet off Cadiz three days before the action.
We find the following important article under the BERLIN head of Oct. 12. "It would certainly be doing the greatest injustice, to that just and generous character of our King, to suppose for a moment, that he would not oppose the audacious progress of the French."
FRANKFORT, October 26. The theatre of war being removed from the banks of the Iller to Bavaria, the usual course of the mails has been resumed, by which we have received letters direct from Ulm, which do not give a very favourable account of the Austrian Generals, and it appears there have been great disagreements among them; in particular there has
been a violent dispute between the Archduke Ferdinand and general Mack, because the former wanted to quit Ulm and give battle to the enemy; but the General shewed his orders to the Prince, which placed the chief command entirely in his own hands, and he chose to remain at Ulm, where his conduct became more incomprehensible every day, especially when it is observed, that on the 16th, being two days before he signed the capitulation, he issued the following order: "In the name of his Majesty, I hold all Generals, Officers, and Subalterns, responsible upon their honor, duty, and welfare, not to mention the word surrender , nor think of any thing else than the most vigorous defence; a defence which cannot be of long duration as the van of the two great armies, Austrian and Russian, will arrive at Ulm in two days to deliver us. If we should fall short of provisions, we have still 3000 horses left for our food. I shall be the first to eat horse-flesh, and every man will be ready to join me, which I also expect of the good citizens, to whom I repeat my promise, that they will be fully paid for all."
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21. HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
The following interesting intelligence we have received (says the New York Commercial Advertiser of Monday last,) from a respectable Gentleman, who arrived here on Saturday evening in 41 days from Bordeaux. The day before this gentleman sailed, private letters were received from Paris at Bordeaux, announcing, that (a few days subsequent to the capitulation of Ulm, and the capture of General Mack and his troops;) the Russian army, having proceeded by forced marches came up with the columns under the command of Prince Murat and Marshall Bernadotte—that a severe action ensued; that Murat and Bernadotte were both killed; 22 General Officers either killed, severely wounded or taken prisoners; and the whole French troops defeated with immense slaughter. Such was the information received at Bordeaux, and believed, by the best informed gentlemen of that place.
The intelligence produced an immediate and considerable effect on the funds at Bordeaux.
Extract of a letter from London, dated October 5, 1805, to a merchant in Baltimore.
"The decision of the John Bulkeley was heard a few days ago; that part of the cargo which was not the original cargo restored, with the captain's private adventure, the remainder to be held on bail subject to the question in regard to the legality of the Batavia trade, namely whether you have been permitted freely to pursue it in time of peace, with that colony or not."
Extract of a letter from the Charge des Affaires of the United States at Algiers, to the consul of the United States at Alicante, dated Algiers, Sept. 4, 1805.
"On the 30th ult. the soldiers rose in a body and murdered the Dey (Mustapha Bathaw) and his prime minister. Hamet, late a secretary to his predecessor, was unanimously conducted to the palace, and proclaimed Dey of Algiers. Not a life was lost except the two first mentioned; no sort of confusion ensued. I have renewed our Treaty with the present Dey and Divan, according to custom."
"All is as usual now, and the Moors at the time I last wrote (in a state of insurrection) have laid down their arms since the accession of the present Dey to the sovereignty. He is said to be a good man: I knew him well previous to his coming into power, as I did his officers, who are all new."
Extract of a letter from Detroit.
The Indians are almost perpetually here, in greater or less numbers; and while here, they must be fed out of the public stores; which has always been the custom. From six hundred to one thousand rations have sometimes been issued to them in one day. Scarcely a day passes, but the superintendent is applied to, and rations issued. This no doubt is essential to the preservation of peace and friendship; and the more so, as the British government on the opposite shore, is liberal in their treatment of them.
On the subject of Neutral Commerce, which has of late been a topic of general conversation, the OPINION will serve to confirm the statement we have already given, of the course the English government will pursue, unless Mr. Jefferson should effect a compromise, or set up and maintain a contrary principle.
OPINION. "An American ship on her last voyage proceeded from Baltimore (the port to which she belonged) to Guadaloupe, or some other French colony in the West Indies, and returned to Baltimore; she there loaded a cargo of tobacco, sugar and coffee, and proceeded to Amsterdam, from whence she is ordered to proceed in ballast
to Portsmouth, in the British channel.
Your opinion is requested, whether it would be safe for the agents of the American proprietors, to order the vessel to proceed for Lisbon, and there receive dollars (which they have ordered to be purchased) and sail therewith to Batavia, or if detained by a British cruiser after proceeding from Lisbon, for Batavia, would the vessel and dollars be subject to condemnation?
Presuming the vessel is to go from Batavia to her own port of Baltimore, and actually to end her voyage there, & that the only instructions for the voyage, independent of those which may have been received from the owner at Baltimore, came from the correspondent in this country, I see nothing positively illegal in the transaction.
But from the nature and conduct of the speculation, it will be necessarily liable to suspicion of being connected with Dutch or British interests; and any property belonging to a Dutch or British subject in such a voyage would be liable to condemnation. The question also may be raised whether the voyage must be taken to commence in Holland, England or Portugal?
In which case any confusion, contradiction & still more suppression, in any part of the evidence, may produce fatal consequences.
There can be no interposition for a neutral in the trade of a belligerent power who from the inferiority of his own maritime strength, cannot by his own navigation, which must not be liable to many risks and public loss, from the unfavourable presumptions that must attend it in all its progress, though it may be within the positive limits of legality.
I must also observe, that whatever may be my opinion (and it seemed to be the inclination of the court) the nature of the trade to Batavia has not yet been decided; but is still under enquiry; the King's advocate strongly contending that it is precisely similar to the trade to the West India colonies; and meant to be included with them in the terms of his Majesty's instructions. If so, any voyage to Batavia from any other port than that to which the ship belongs, or where the owner of the cargo resides, will be unlawful.
As that question is still suspended, the vessel respecting which I am consulted would be liable to be detained till that point be settled, exclusively of all other risks.
(Signed) F. LAWRENCE. Doctors' Commons, August 1805."
The question respecting the nature of the trade to Batavia has been decided, since the above opinion was given. It will be considered a colony, and it is said to have been ascertained that Americans have not been accustomed to that trade in time of peace.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete 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 arduous 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 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 forensis 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 unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Nervous Disorders, 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, Obsolete gleet,  Fluorbus (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 produced 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 year from 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 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 makes 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 obstructed or inflamed 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 its being suited to every age, and constitution, and also
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. It will no worm exist in the body, but will, with the pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many later disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the first 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 Tapes or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small narrow worm, the Cucurbitina, or short fat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; it 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 feet—Constipation and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes washing 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 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 advanced stages 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—
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 by one in a similar situation—his appetite was lost 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, 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 fleshy 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 fashance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repented 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 tried this medicine as a purging medicine, and found it to act exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensation, is 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 bitumous substance, which engenders too much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
JOHN MOLTHER.
