CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. MAY 1, 1802.
Debate on the motion to 'recommit the report of the Committee of Investigation.'
Mr. Griswold, continued.
The committee have likewise thought proper in general terms, to censure the expenditure, for erecting the public buildings on the banks of the Schuylkill near Philadelphia. They do not say whether the money expended upon that object was authorized or unauthorized; they only say that the expence which amounted to about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars could not be justified. Without troubling the house with any comments upon the propriety of this conduct of the committee, in passing the bounds which their appointment had limited, and erecting themselves into a board of censors, to condemn every expenditure which did not please them whether authorized or not, I must be permitted to say, that nothing in my judgment could excuse them, if they took this course in suppressing the facts which led to the erection of those buildings.
That the expence was justified by law, I presume cannot be doubted, when the object, and the nature of the appropriations for the military establishment, are considered. And as to the extent of the expence, it is a point, about which gentlemen may probably differ in opinion; for my own part, I readily acknowledge that I am not a competent judge, nor do I believe, (I speak with great deference) that the majority of the committee possess sufficient experience to decide the question. The former secretary of war, who commenced the buildings, Mr. M c Henry, was certainly a man of a liberal mind, and of large and extensive views, and disposed to found every permanent establishment, upon a scale, which should in some measure comport with the future prospect of this country, and prove them to be the establishments of a nation, and not of a petty corporation. The circumstances which induced the war department to commence these buildings, I have understood to be, (without having received however, any particular information in relation to the fact) that the military stores at Philadelphia were at that time stored in private buildings within the city, and exposed in those situations to fires and other accidents; that Philadelphia being one of the first mercantile towns in this country, rendered it convenient to collect stores at that point and being at the same time sufficiently in land to be secure from any foreign attack, and with all somewhat central, it was desirable to render the collection of military stores extensive, and to establish, what may be now called an arsenal at that place. To accomplish these objects, and for other military purposes, the buildings were commenced on the Schuylkill. And being disposed to place more confidence in the secretary of war, than in the committee on this point, I can see nothing at present, which proves the building to have been unnecessary or too extensive, and I think it highly probable, that the founder will hereafter derive more honor from commencing them, than the committee will receive from censuring the measure.
What renders the report of the committee still more extraordinary, both in respect to erecting the buildings, and also the purchase of navy yards, is, that another subject, resembling these in principle, was before the committee, and on which they refused to report. This was the erecting of the extensive navy stores in this place, by the present administration.
The present secretary of the navy, was requested to inform the committee, when those stores were erected, and from what fund the money had been taken. His answer, satisfied the committee, that the stores had been erected by the present administration, and that the money, if I recollect correctly, had been taken from an appropriation for the 74's, navy yards and docks. The minority of the committee believed, what I trust will be generally believed by those who examine the question, that this was (to say no more of it) at least as doubtful an expenditure as that for the purchase of navy yards, or for erecting the buildings on the Schuylkill. If an authority to build 74's, to complete navy yards and docks, gave an authority to erect stores, for the accommodation of the navy, it was thought that an authority to build ships, necessarily included a power to procure the land to place them upon; and that an authority to purchase military stores
and to manage the affairs of the army, necessarily included a power, to furnish at the public expense, buildings to cover the stores, and for other necessary military purposes, at the discretion of the officers entrusted with those concerns. The minority of the committee, therefore, urged, to include this transaction in the report, together with the letter of the secretary of the navy; but the request was rejected by the majority.
We believed that the cases were precisely similar in principle, and that it was not conducted with impartiality to include the one without the other; and we thought that when it was discovered, that the present administration was conducting on principles precisely similar to those of their predecessors, it would greatly tend to satisfy all parties, that the conduct of the government had been correct. I feel no hesitation in declaring, that in my judgment, the present administration were authorized to erect the navy stores, although I believe, that the power may be better questioned, than it could be in the other cases. These navy stores I presume are useful, both for receiving the materials for ship building, and securing the stores of the public ships, laid up in ordinary, and although not expressly authorized by the words of the law, may very well be considered as a proper appendage to a navy yard, or as buildings rendered necessary in the finishing of the seventy four's; and as to the extent of the buildings, I am content to leave that point, to the department to which it has been confided. The propriety, however of including this statement in the report, (I trust) will be apparent to the house, and it will not, in this place, be thought correct, to confine our criticisms, exclusively to the past administration. I therefore urge this as a further reason for recommitting the report.
The committee have likewise mentioned the payment of about two hundred dollars, to some persons at George Town, on account of a house, which had been hired in that place, by Mr. M c Henry the former secretary of War. If the committee believed it proper to trouble the house with this trifling transaction, they ought to have stated every circumstance which attended it, and the House could then decide, (if indeed it was proper to decide at all,) whether the payment was rightfully made or not. Since the committee however have not done this, I beg leave to state what I have understood to be the circumstances under which this payment was made.
In the spring of 1800 whilst the government remained at Philadelphia, Mr. M c Henry was secretary at war, and being obliged to prepare for removing his office, agreeable to law, to the permanent seat of government, he found it necessary to engage a house in George Town in the vicinity of the public buildings, for himself and family. After this was done, and without any previous notice, he was compelled to resign his office by a request from the president, which in such case may be considered as a command. The house of course became useless to him, and the person of whom he hired it, claimed either rent or damages, and upon a reference the sum of about two hundred dollars was awarded. It is obvious from this statement, that the expense was incurred by Mr. M c Henry, in consequence of being secretary of war, that it was an extra expence, arising entirely from the order, to remove from Philadelphia to Washington, and that it was a dead loss, produced by these causes, and for which Mr. M c Henry did not receive the benefit of a cent. Under such circumstances, it was decided that government ought to pay the loss, and if the committee had given us the facts, it is highly probable that the house would be of opinion that the decision was right.
Much has been said by the committee, respecting a payment to Mr. Tracy, for his services and expense, in visiting the Western Posts in the summer of 1800. And here the committee have again in the usual manner, excluded from their report, the cases which have arisen under the present administration, and which compare in principle with the case of Mr. Tracy.
It is objected to the employment of Mr. Tracy, and the payment to him, because he was at that time a senator of the United States, and by the constitution no member of the legislature can hold at the same time an executive office. But the case of Mr. Dawson, who was sent to France with the convention compares essentially with the case of Mr. Tracy; Mr. Dawson continued in the employment of government, under that agency, and received his pay, after he was elected a member of this
house. His account was before the committee, and it appears that he was paid up to the month of October. And surely the constitution has made no distinction between the members of the house and of the senate. If it was right and constitutional to employ Mr. Dawson on one agency, it was equally so, to employ Mr. Tracy on another.
It is likewise objected to the account of Mr. Tracy, that his agency continued up to the commencement of the last session of congress, and he was paid accordingly, and that in his account as a senator, he has likewise been allowed, what is usually called travel from Litchfield to Washington, by which means he received (it is said) wages as an agent, and travel as a senator at the same time. But the committee forgot to include the cases of the new senators, who went from this house into the senate last spring. Mr. Stone of North Carolina, Mr. Sheaffe of New Hampshire, and I presume Mr. Muhlenburg, also retained their seats in this house, until the third of March, and they received their pay up to that time, and their travel at the commencement and at the close of the session; they went the next day into the senate, and the two former and probably the latter, received during that short senatorial session, their travel to, and from the seat of Government. If it was right to allow those gentlemen, what the committee would I presume, call double pay, it cannot be objected to, in the case of Mr. Tracy, who was employed as an agent up to the commencement of the session, entitled to receive his pay as such, and likewise entitled to his mileage as a senator upon the settlement of that account.
I have not however been able to discover, that either of these cases are repugnant to law. The constitution declares 'that no person holding any office under the United States, shall be a member of either house, during his continuance in office.' An office can only be created by the constitution or by law, and there is neither a law or a provision in the constitution, creating an office, in which either Mr. Tracy, or Mr. Dawson was employed. The employment in which they were engaged, was a mere agency, and could not with more propriety be called an office, than the employment of purchasing bills for government, upon commissions, or the building a light house upon contract. I cannot then see any constitutional difficulty, in either of these cases. If however, any such objection did exist, I should rather suppose, that the right of deciding whether the seat of a senator had become vacated, belonged exclusively to the senate, and that the business of investigating the right of the members of this House to their seats, belonged to the committee of elections.
The objection to what is called double pay, appears to arise from an inattention to the language of the law on this subject. The law fixing the compensation of members of the legislature, does not say a word about travel; the words are—'each senator shall be entitled to receive six dollars for every day he shall attend the senate, and shall also be allowed, at the commencement and end of every such session or meeting, six dollars for every twenty miles, of the estimated distance, by the most usual road, from his place of residence to the seat of Congress.' The same expressions are used in respect to the members of the house, changing only the names. When a member then, takes his seat in the senate, he is entitled to his six dollars, for every twenty miles of the estimated distance, from his place of residence, let him come from what employment he may. It would therefore, have been a mere affectation in either of the senators, to have refused this allowance because in one case, they had been engaged in the house of representatives, and in the other the gentleman had been employed in transacting business as an agent for the war department.—
I am therefore inclined to believe, that the decision in the senate, which settled this allowance was correct. I have not mentioned either of these cases, with the remotest view of censuring the gentlemen who have been named, but finding a strong similarity, existing between them and that of Mr. Tracy, I was compelled to refer to them, to shew a corresponding practice under the present administration, with that which has been so severely censured by the Committee.
I have already mentioned, that the case of Mr. Dawson, was before the committee, and I will now state that the minority seeing the strong similarity of his case, with that of Mr. Tracy, in one im-
portant feature, urged to include it in the report, but the majority by the usual decision rejected the proposition.
I might go into an examination of every part of the report, but at this late hour, and at the close of the session, I shall scarcely be excused, for saying more than is absolutely necessary to explain my motion, and this I trust has been already done.
I have said, that the report is erroneous both in facts and inferences. By the erroneous statement of facts, I principally mean, that the facts are not fully stated, that those facts are generally omitted, which would most strongly repel the censures, which the committee have bestowed upon the former administration, and upon individuals; and I have been always taught, that partial statements, are misstatements, and that the suppression of truths, necessary to be known, is as erroneous as the uttering of falsehoods. I repeat again, that I have not the smallest intention of charging the committee, with drawing up intentionally a partial or erroneous report, but such I think and trust I have proved it to be, and I must expect from the candor of the committee, when they review their own work, they will unite with me, in the motion for recommittal.
There is one consideration, attending this transaction, which has already been alluded to, and which ought to impress itself strongly on the house; it is the division under which this report was made.—Is it possible, that gentlemen can believe, that a report attended with such circumstances, and so many objections, can be much respected? Will it not be considered as the result of party violence, and calculated to agitate the public mind, rather than to elucidate any salutary truths? But I will not enlarge upon these topics; I have in some measure explained my motion, and submit it to the house.

Captain Dawson, who arrived at this port yesterday in 38 days from Gibraltar, informs us that on the day he failed intelligence was received there of a desperate engagement which just taken place between a Portuguese frigate and an Algerine frigate and Zebeck. The contest lasted four hours, and ended in the capture of the Portuguese, who had all her officers (including the captain) and most of her men killed.
The ship Mack, bound from Savannah to London, put into this port yesterday in distress, and is now at quarantine. After being at sea three days the captain was taken sick; the mate was seized with the like disorder the day following; and in a few days after, three of the seamen. The captain and mate being deranged, the second mate took upon himself the temporary command of the vessel; but, not understanding navigation sufficiently, and most of the hands being sick, he procured the assistance of a Philadelphia Pilot, who brought her into Sandy Hook. The capt. it is expected, will not recover.

PHILADELPHIA, July 16.
Capt. Callender of the brig, Amelia, from Cadiz, has furnished the following information:
The U. S. frigate Constellation, capt. Murray, and the Enterprize schooner lieutenant Sterrett, had proceeded for Tripoli. The Essex, capt. Bainbridge, remained cruising in the neighbourhood of Gibraltar.
A number of Algerine cruisers were at sea, and it was generally supposed they were hostile to Spain; having plundered several Spanish vessels in the Mediterranean.
It was rumoured that an Algerine frigate had captured a Portuguese ship of 40 guns; it was likewise asserted and generally believed that a pirate had been discovered in the Straits—there were various reports of vessels having been plundered by him, and most of their crews massacred; he was said to be commanded by a Frenchman; several vessels had been dispatched in search of her. A few days previous to the departure of the Amelia, a Spanish sloop of war (one of the vessels that had been sent to cruise for the pirate) brought into Cadiz an armed vessel with 30 to 35 men; about which time it was reported, that another had been discovered off Cape de Gatt, said to have a 9 pounder in the bow, 30 to 40 men, and to be commanded by a Frenchman.
About 23 millions of dollars had recently arrived from South America, and 20 millions more was soon expected.
A squadron of Spanish men of war was collected at Cadiz, from whence they were to proceed to Naples, under the command of the Prince of Peace, (who hoists his flag as admiral) for the purpose of conveying the Princess of Naples to Barcelona, to be espoused to the Prince of Asturias.
His Britannic Majesty's ship Phoenix, captain Halsey, had been in Cadiz Bay, about a fortnight when the Amelia failed, and the Governor would suffer none other crew to land, except the captain; which he refused unless permitted to be accompanied by her officers.
Ship Eliza, White, of and for Philadelphia, was to sail in 7 days after the Amelia. Brig Christiana and Andrew, Gardner, of do: had just arrived from Tenerife.
Our city has been agitated for some days past, by reports of the existence of a dangerous disease, in and about the neighbourhood of Vine and upper part of Front street. We had investigated these reports, in order to lay before the public a correct account, but as it is the province of the Board of Health, to give notice if there be any danger, we thought it our duty to wait their opinion in silence, conscious that if any ground of alarm existed, they would notify it immediately. This silence we should have observed—but the alarm has been founded by a morning paper (The Aurora) and it behoves the public to listen to facts, lest their fear should overcome their judgment, and they fly the city when no real cause for flight exists.
It is certain, that in and about the neighbourhood of Vine and Front street, several persons have sickened of a dangerous fever, some of whom have recovered and others died in a short time—several still remain sick, and many are on the recovery. Most of the persons who have been attacked, have excited disease by over exercise, and several by imprudencies on the 5th of July. We have not heard of a single person who has taken the disease from those who have been sick. From these circumstances we are inclined to believe, that the disease is partial in its operation, and confined to certain neighbourhoods. From all the enquiries which have been made by the Board of Health, and they have been very particular,
we believe there does not exist sufficient cause to induce them to sound the alarm. When it is recollected, that in the summer of 1800, there existed a dangerous fever in Loxley's Court, in Spruce street, where more were sick and more died than have in Vine street and its neighbourhood, when it is recollected that in 1801 8 or 10 persons died in one week in Eight street of a malignant infectious fever, and yet in both these years, its operation was solely confined to those places, and soon disappeared, we are inclined to think the same will be the fate of the present disease. Especially when we consider the salubrity of the air, and the mildness of the weather.
As to the manner of its introduction to that neighbourhood, it is very difficult to determine. The facts and arguments are perhaps equally strong in favour of its importation as its domestic origin. We leave the discussion of the subject to professional men. If the disease be here it matters not how it was introduced.
Upon the whole, from the known activity and watchful care of the Board of Health the public may expect immediate notice when there exists real cause.

INTERESTING TO SHIPPERS OF TOBACCO. Extract of a letter from an American merchant at L'Orient, to his correspondent in New-York, dated May 26th, 1802, received by the brig Tiger, from Bordeaux.
"The present is purely to advise you that we have this day received from Paris the law respecting the entrepot of Tobacco, by which our port is comprehended, which did not appear in the first instance to be the case, L'Orient, St. Malo, and Rochelle were left out; but our good friend Mr. Dorville (now in Paris) with some other friends of influence, took their measures, and had our town comprehended in the law. We take this earliest opportunity to acquaint you of this event, as very probably the project of the law might have reached you before it was rendered, and you would of course have seen that our town not being comprehended, might have
had some effect respecting the freighting of the ships for this port, or your shipping any Tobacco to this quarter, which now ceases.
"The law specifies particularly, that no Tobacco is to be imported into this country in vessels under 100 tons burthen, to which we request your attention, as it carries with it the confiscation of both ship and cargo; however, this Law must be notified to the American administration before it can have its effect. A new duty of 4 per Hhd. on the fabrication is laid, and is to be paid on withdrawing the Tobacco from the entrepot, the old duties of 30 livres per foreign, and 20 the quintal per French vessels, is conserved. This new law we suppose will have its effect from the 1st Vendemaire, 11th year, or 22d Sept. present year.
"It is possible that the moment it is known in America, many people will be shipping very soon, to have their Tobacco here before that period, to pay the duties immediately, and by that means gain the per centage, or 20 livres the hundred weight; for, after that period all Tobacco arriving will necessarily pay the extraordinary duty of 20 per cent. which will make 50 for foreign, and 40 for French vessels."
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman of respectability at Buenos Ayres, South America, to his friend in Boston, dated April 17th, 1802.
"Since leaving home I have met with a variety of adventures, and experienced many disappointments. I expected to find the Spaniards honest, I find them almost without exception, villains; and what I never expected in the least I have experienced, viz. being a prisoner. This country might be made the garden of the world but the Spaniards are too indolent to offer the least assistance to nature. They sleep one third part of the day, one third is consumed in eating, and the remainder is employed in smoking, or in sucking a decoction, of the herb Paraguay, through a tube. They are, if possible, more ignorant, than indolent. They are one and all bigotted to their religion, and I believe think it serving God, to cheat a Protestant. Some of our countrymen, when they returned home appeared to be in raptures with this country; for my own part I am tired with Buenos Ayres. I am tired with narrow streets paved with sharp stones. I am tired of seeing none but shabby looking houses. I am tired drinking muddy water and sour wine, and eating lean beef and bad mutton. Insults enough have been offered to us to warrant a war, and our country could reap nothing but advantage from the contest. I will not enlarge upon the indignities we have suffered and the harshships we have undergone, but will merely mention a few of them to shew you, that I speak not without foundation. Our flag has been placed under the Spanish, with the Union down. The fiscal of the civil department has characterised us, as a set of people wandering about the streets without religion and without morality. Many of us have been imprisoned, some among the vilest malefactors; and even the infamous punishment of the scourge has forced mariners, citizens of the United States of America, to toil for the vile Spaniards.
If we complain and mention the vengeance of our country we are laughed at, and asked what can the United States do, a nation with no power, without an army, and whose whole naval force consists of a few frigates? In short, they think they can impose upon us with impunity, as we have tamely suffered the English and French to do. Shakespear's words will well apply to us when he says "The fault dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings."

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthmas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumptions.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen,
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with 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 Healy, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper, he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's
GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskilful 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 unparallelled in the cure of
  Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Loss of spirits,  Melancholy,    Low spirits,  Gout in the stomach,    Loss of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Impurity of the blood,  Relaxations,    Hysterical affections,  Involuntary emissions,    Inward weakness,  Obstinate gleets,    Seminal weakness,  Impotency, &c. &c.    Fluor albus, (or whites)     Barrenness,   
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen,
I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second-Street, between Mary and Christian-Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed, for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most reasonable 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.

Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Ferguson, Esq. one of the justices of the peace for Philadelphia County.
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 form obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of a similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion. Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape-worm, so called from its resemblance to a tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures, performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of this formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and wild 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, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in Yorktown.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time, in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mercurial, but upon close inspection quite replete
with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children, came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health; and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
