Thursday, February 25.
Debate on the bill received from the Senate entitled "An Act to repeal certain acts respecting the organization of the courts of the U. States."
(Mr. Griswold's speech continued.)
Under this general scheme of responsibility one gentleman has gone far as to say, that the judges are responsible to the legislature under the power given to appropriate money for the payment of their salaries, and if we do not like the judges or think the salaries too high, we may refuse the necessary appropriations. Sir, I will not insult the understandings of the committee by answering this argument; and I only mention it at this time, to express my astonishment, that a principle only calculated to "stop the wheels of government," should at this time be renewed on the floor. If gentlemen are really determined in this form to arrogate all power to this house, it will be more manly to assume it openly and without disguise. Still however, pursuing this plan of responsibility, a gentleman from Kentucky has told us, that the judges are responsible to the people upon every new election, and whenever it shall appear by the result of the elections, that the people are opposed to the political opinions of the judges, they are, as I suppose, to be tumbled from their places, and the seats of justice are to be filled with men, whose minds will bend more easily to the will of the prevailing faction. On what page of the constitution the gentleman from Kentucky has found this alarming principle, it is impossible for me to say. I can therefore only declare, that in my judgment it is subversive of every provision in that instrument, and must convert the courts into revolutionary tribunals, and render them the mere agents of a prevailing faction to execute vengeance on their political opponents.
A further argument has been urged to prove the dependence of judges on the executive power, & that the limitation in the constitution upon the power of removal applies only to the president, drawn from a principle which exists in all monarchical governments; that principle is, that the judicial authority is only an emanation from the executive power, and a branch of it. Sir, gentlemen who have repeated this principle, appear to be insensible, that it has no application to the form of government in this country. In unlimited monarchies, it is true that the legislative, the executive, and the judicial powers are all united in the same person. The monarch makes the law, decides upon it and carries it into execution. This constitutes the essence of despotism. In limited monarchies, such as that of England, the legislative power is at this time in reality separated from the executive, although the judicial power remains still nominally united to the executive, and was so in fact, before the revolution, yet in effect the act of Parliament which renders the judges independent, has separated this department from the executive power, and in this country, pursuing the great object of rendering the three departments of government independent of each other, we have as well in our national, as state constitutions, provided that these departments should not depend upon, or be subordinate, the one to the other. The theory of our government supposes, that the department which enacts the law should neither expound it, or carry it into execution—that the department whose province it is to expound the law, should not be entrusted with its execution. By assigning to each department in this form, its distinct duties, and establishing the independence of each, in the exercise of its appropriate functions, we have attained, if the principle is preserved, more security against the power of oppression, than any nation ever enjoyed. The legislature may pass unconstitutional laws, depriving the people of rights which the constitution has guaranteed, but these laws can never be executed so long as an enlightened and independent court remains to expound them. The ambition of an unprincipled first magistrate may desire the ruin of individuals who are opposed to his ambitious projects, but the vengeance of executive power can never reach the man of virtue, so long as he is protected by the courts of his country. Gentlemen then who attempt to engraft upon our constitution the theory of monarchies, ought to
learn, that they do not apply to our form of government, and that the expression of the constitution which was designed to give independence to the judges, could not have been designed to guard the judges against the executive more than the legislative power. Its object was, to render the judicial a distinct department, and to leave the judges without the fear of removal, to exercise their legal and constitutional powers.
Gentlemen have likewise said, that our theory destroys itself, that whilst we are supporting the independence of the judges, we admit that they are exposed to an impeachment by one branch of the legislature before the other, on which, they may be found guilty of misdemeanors and expelled from office; and that the fear of impeachment will operate more strongly upon their passions, render them more submissive to the legislative will, and more effectually destroy their independence, than the power of removal claimed under the present bill. To this consideration, I answer; that a judge can only be removed upon impeachment, by the concurring voices of two thirds of the members of the senate; and if the period ever should arrive when a majority of the house of representatives should become sufficiently corrupt to go into the senate with an impeachment, against a virtuous judge, and two thirds of that body should be found base enough to support it, it will then be of little importance, what becomes of your courts or your judges. The form of government which we have established can never survive the corruption of that day, and when depravity shall have gained so strong a foothold in the legislative department, the whole political body must be contaminated, and instead of being the citizens of a free government, we shall be fit only to be the slaves of a master. Sir, the constitution, by requiring that a majority of the house of representatives, and two thirds of the senate, shall concur in an impeachment and conviction, has secured to the judge, his independence in ordinary and in violent times, but it was impossible to secure him against the convulsions of a revolution, or the more certain effects of total degeneracy and corruption.
To be continued.
FROM THE N. Y. DAILY ADVERTISER.
Rights of Neutrals.
IT is but within a few years, that the "Laws of Nations," as a science, has been studied or generally understood in our country. Indeed but a few years have elapsed since the United States became an independent nation, or acquired an interest in those rights which are allowed to attach only to independent sovereignties.—During the revolutionary war our citizens understood and were governed by those rules which the civilized communities of Europe have adopted, when in a state of hostility. But it was not until the late European war that we were called by sad experience to understand and to defend "the rights of a neutral nation." Unfortunately we have had to contend with nations, whose maritime force so vastly surpassed ours, that our only weapons were remonstrance and complaint. But the season of war being now past, we may indulge a hope, that the government of the late belligerent powers, on calmly reviewing their conduct, will do us the justice to which we are entitled—and instead of defending principles, adopted under the pressure of "existing circumstances," will nobly acknowledge errors hastily embraced, and repair injuries by us undeservedly sustained. In reviewing the cases of capture and condemnation that will arise before European tribunals, on claims of American citizens, one of the radical points of enquiry will always be, "What are the Rights of Neutrals?" To settle some fixed principles on this interesting topic has been the aim of many distinguished writers. Several able works on this subject have lately appeared in Europe, from the pens of Professor Schlegel, Dr. Ward, Citizen Hautrive, and others. In the United States, it has excited enquiry and observation. Mr. William Barton, of Pennsylvania, has published an elaborate work on this branch of the law of nations.—Mr. Webster, of Connecticut, has lately presented the American public with a volume of miscellaneous tracts, Political and Commercial. Of his Address to the President of the United States, and his account of the Bank, &c. we shall only say they are worthy of a general and an attentive perusal.—Of the latter, we shall present a
short analysis to-morrow. From his dissertation on the Rights of Neutrality, in which commercial men are more deeply interested, we shall extract a few passages, which will at once evince the ability, and the sound, liberal and truly American principles, which characterize this work. A work, which with considerable learning and ingenuity, defends the principle so long asserted by the Northern Powers of Europe, against the usurping claims of Great-Britain—that "free ships should make free goods." In page 195, Mr. W. contends:—
"In regard to seizures on the ocean, an important question is to be discussed.
If the principle was just, that belligerent nations have a right to seize their enemy's goods, wherever they find them, on the territories of either of the parties, yet it is agreed by all writers and all men, that the parties have no right to enter on the territories of a neuter party, to seek the goods of their enemy. This is admitted to be true on land, with an exception however of an extreme case, where an enemy cannot be attacked without violating neutral ground, as in the case of a fort situated on the verge of an enemy's country, adjoining the limits of friendly territory. See Vattel. B. 3. Ch. 7, Sec. 120, 132. Burlenique, part 4, Ch. 7 and 8. Liv. 28, 21.
But this principle has never been extended to give the owners of neutral ships on the high seas, or their sovereigns, complete exclusive jurisdiction over them, in as ample manner as they possess the right and jurisdiction over houses and lands. Yet I venture to affirm that no good reason exists for the distinction.
It is incident to the very nature of property or ownership, that the owner has a power over the property, and a right to exercise it in exclusion of every other person. It is equally incident to the very nature of sovereignty, that the supreme authority of the sovereign is to be exercised, in exclusion of every other person or power. On these principles, the territories of neutrals are held sacred in time of war, and no belligerent can step his foot on them, without permission of the sovereign, or infringing the rights of sovereignty. To suppose a qualified right in nations at war, to occupy neutral ground, upon pressing occasions, is to admit pretensions incompatible with sovereignty, and open a door for every species of abuse. I cannot, therefore, assent to the exception above mentioned, that a belligerent, may, on any occasion, lawfully enter on the territory of a neutral, without permission from the sovereign. Cases of this kind occur, and are sometimes overlooked, for the sake of peace; but they are to be considered as infractions of the jus publicum; not as precedents authorizing such trespasses.
Equally conclusive are the arguments in favor of the exclusive jurisdiction of neutrals over their own ships on the seas. It is admitted, on all hands, that the ocean is the common highway of mankind; and that no nation can appropriate it to their own use exclusively. The only right to a particular and exclusive jurisdiction on the ocean usually admitted, as within such limits along the shores of a country, as to enable the sovereign of the country to protect his subjects from injury and invasion. By usage and consent of nations, the waters within a maritime league of the shore, are held to be within the exclusive jurisdiction of the sovereign of the country.
But there is another case in which a temporary exclusive jurisdiction over a particular part of the ocean, may be lawfully exercised. This is the case of a ship, which, while on the high seas, bears with it a complete ownership and jurisdiction over the place it occupies. The owner of the ship has an exclusive right to so much of the water, as is necessary, for the time being, to give the ship a free unobstructed passage; and any matter of another ship, who invades that portion of the water, thus occupied or necessary for a free passage, or who in any manner annoys the occupant, is as much a trespasser, and subject to respond in damages, as a man who breaks his neighbor's inclosure on land.
Equally exclusive is the jurisdiction of the sovereign, over the vessels of his subjects on the high seas; and in conformity with this principle all injuries committed on board of a ship, in the remotest seas, are supposed to be committed in some country within the territorial dominions of the sovereign, and actions for the same are triable only, before his tribunals.
Those principles result from the very nature of society, of ownership and of sovereignty. The practice, therefore, of
stopping ships on the ocean, without permission of the owners, searching them and taking out an enemy's goods, or turning them out of their course, so far from being a natural right of powers at war, is a direct violation of the rights of property and sovereignty. It is incompatible with the exclusive power of an owner over his property that a stranger should exercise qualified or temporary right over that property. Nor can any such right exist, unless derived from the consent of the owner or his sovereign. Every pretence or claim to a right of search, being a claim in derogation of the exclusive rights of ownership, and sovereignty, must be derived from the assent of the party whose rights are abridged, or from usurpation."
And again, in page 182, he says, "In general, the practice of privateering and the interruption of neutrals, has no apparent effect on war. It is a game in which the winnings and losses are nearly balanced—and the nations are neither enriched nor impoverished, to a degree that can affect their resources. It is a practice, however, immensely prejudicial to nations at peace, especially to those whose productions are most useful to war. It engenders a hostile, ferocious spirit on the ocean, where licentiousness is encouraged by the expectation of impunity; it makes the property of the industrious husbandman and merchant, the prey of the idle and needy adventurer; it alienates man from man; weakens the sense of moral obligation, and generates or exasperates national animosity."
Men, who write and prate about the "rights of belligerent nations," seem to consider war as the chief business of man. Look into the books on the law of nations and there see men vindicating the barbarous maxims of savage tribes, citing them as the ground of the jus publicum; and treating of war, as a lawful trade or occupation, in which nations may engage with as little ceremony, as a company of merchants may fit out a ship to the South Sea. But when men shall cease to let fashion and prejudice guide their opinions, they will adopt the sound principles of the court of Denmark, which in the declaration respecting the confederacy of the year 1780, has laid down the position, "That a nation independent and neuter, does not lose by the wars of others, the rights which she had before the war, because the war still exists between her and all the belligerent powers. Without receiving or being obliged to follow the laws of either of them, she is allowed to follow, in all places, contraband excepted, the traffic which she would have a right to do, if peace existed with all Europe, as it exists with her."
This is the broad principle of natural and political justice, derived from the very constitution of independent societies, and the nature of sovereignty. A nation at war has no right over a nation at peace, which it had not before the war. To suppose a belligerent nation to have a right to abridge the rights of a nation at peace, is to admit the principle, that a nation at peace ceases to be an independent sovereignty, by the single act of the belligerent—or that one nation may restrain and limit the rights of another, without its consent. It is therefore derogatory to the sovereignty of a state, that another power, by an ex parte act, as by a proclamation of war against a third nation, should be permitted to vary or modify the rights, which such state enjoyed before the proclamation. And hence it is that no nation at war can claim as a natural right, or as a law of public justice, the power of abridging the trade of a neutral, acknowledged to be her right in time of peace. Every admissible restriction of this sort must be derived from the consent of the neutral, that is, from convention; and every restriction not thus authorized, is usurpation and despotism.
The principle, that the necessity of defence justifies a belligerent in depriving its adversary of supplies, has no foundation in reason or law. The rule is void for uncertainty; for it is not only uncertain when such necessity exists, but no standard or tribunal exists, by which it can be made certain. It is a question which, from the want of a common arbiter must be left to be decided by the parties interested; and we know by events, that, in every war, even for a point of honor, or a distant island, the plea of necessity is pressed into the service of the warring nations, to authorise depredations on peaceable nations."

NEW-YORK, May 22.
Captain Troup, of the Schooner Eagle from Montego-Bay, informs us that on his passage to this port in lat. 32, Savannah light-house bearing E. S. E. distant about 31 leagues, he fell in with the ship Elizabeth of Portland, at that time out two days from Savannah, the captain of which informed him that the day he left and he found the ship making water so fast that it was impossible to keep her free, and that he had determined to abandon her. A Schooner from N. Carolina was alongside, taken out what property could be preserved. The Eagle gave her every assistance, and received on board 45 bales of cotton; and when she left her there were 15 feet water in her hold.

He left Natchez in company with eleven others, and on the night of the 6th of April, about sixty miles beyond the Chickasaw nation, they were robbed of about 1200 dollars—Their camp was fired on in the dead of night, and one man wounded; the others made their escape—Our informant took his saddlebags, in which were 2300 dollars, and ran about two miles, where he concealed them and returned next morning to the camp, which the robbers had not left—They gave him his horse & saddle; and to the wounded man, beside his horse and saddle, they gave seven dollars, to defray his expences to the settlement—the wound was a flesh one, in the leg. This banditti consists of nine men, well armed, who declare their intention of infesting the road for plunder. It is supposed to be MASON'S PARTY, and some of them are from the neighborhood of Natchez, where it is thought they have accomplices, who gave information when a large sum of money will depart for Kentucky. The notorious Harp, who sometime ago infested the lower parts of this state, is one of the party.

COMMUNICATION.
On Saturday the 22d of May, at 12 o'clock, P. M. Mrs. WASHINGTON terminated her well spent life. Composure and resignation were uniformly displayed during seventeen day's depredations of a severe fever. From the commencement she declared that she was undergoing the final trial, and had long been prepared for her dissolution. She took the sacrament from Dr. Davis, imparted her last advice and benedictions to her weeping relations, and sent for a white gown, which she had previously laid by for her last dress—thus in the closing scene, as in all the preceding ones, nothing was omitted. The conjugal, maternal and domestic duties had all been fulfilled, in an exemplary manner. She was the worthy partner of the worthiest of men, and those who witnessed their conduct could not determine which excelled in their different characters, both were so well sustained on every occasion. They lived an honor and a pattern to their country, and are taken from us to receive the rewards—promised to the faithful and just.
Married, at Hager's-Town, Washington county, Maryland, on Thursday the 20th May, by the Rev. Dr. Bowers, Mr. HENRY LEWIS, of Alexandria county, District of Columbia, to the amiable Mrs. MARY HAGER, of Hager's-Town.
The noted Thomas Claiborne, a member of Congress from Virginia, has written a most humorous letter to his constituents. Of all the ridiculous performances we have as yet seen, this certainly stands, if not the first, in the very first rank. It appears that Claiborne supposes, and very justly, that it belongs to the judges to decide the constitutionality of the late anti-justice bill. Claiborne says the judges are not removed by the bill, "what is to become of the judges will, in my opinion, form another great constitutional question the next session."
He complains several times, in the course of his address, that he has been greatly abused by the Washington Federalist. If Mr. Claiborne thinks himself abused in that paper, what will he think of the abuse of his friends? The following is the substance of a dialogue which passed between a member of congress from Virginia, and the writer of this, then editor of the Washington Federalist.
Member. You have attacked me in your paper. I will not suffer it, nor will I take legal means to prevent it.
Editor. You might as well spare any menaces; they have no effect. The piece of which you complain was merely a matter of ridicule; not affecting your moral character; and even that notice would not have been taken of you, had it not been provoked by a declaration of Duane, that "Mr. Bayard was the only correct speaker on the federal side;" hence it was necessary to make a comparison, between the speakers of Virginia and Connecticut.
Member. If you're about to imitate all Duane's dirty actions you've enough to do. But I am a decent character; I am lent here by above 30,000 people, nor am I a speaker—you never heard me speak—There's Claiborne, you may ridicule him as much as you please, he gets drunk every day, and his friends can't prevent him.

Extract of a letter from the Havanna, to a gentleman in Philadelphia, dated April 28th.
"Some days ago, a town a small distance back of the Havanna took fire and the whole place, containing upwards of 3000 houses, was consumed. The loss is estimated at four million of dollars. In consequence of this event, the government have come to a determination to admit from three to 5000 barrels of flour to be entered from the American vessels laying off the harbor, to be sold to the King at a stated price, and afterwards retailed to individuals, the profits on which speculation is to go to the sufferers."

A triumphing democrat, in the fullness of his exultation, rashly proclaimed, that "the sun of federalism was set forever." It has indeed been somewhat "born of its beams," and obscured in "dim eclipse," and for a time hath ceased to bless our country with its light. But its absence will be temporary and its return glorious. Those birds of darkness, which have made the forest resound with their screechings and dissonant notes, will shortly fly before its beams, and hide themselves in their wonted obscurity. Already we perceive
the sure prognostics that the sun of federalism is again rapidly rising to the verge of the horizon; already the morning blushes with its beams, and a thousand rays shoot and sparkle round the sky. The fogs of faction and the dark clouds of democracy will be dissipated at its approach; and our country will again rejoice in the cheering and fertilizing lustre of the benificial luminary.
Proud impious man! think'st thou that sanguine cloud, Rais'd by thy breath hath quench'd the orb of day, To-morrow he repairs the golden flood, And warms the nation with redoubled ray. (Palladium.)

Mr. PICKERING.
It appears that Mr. Gallatin, the secretary of the treasury, has finished his labors as to many of the accounts, wherein it was alleged that such embezzlements and defalcations would be discerned. It will be remembered that Mr. Timothy Pickering was not only suspected, but accused of being a very great culprit. And it was alleged that such a man as Gallatin, if the chance should be given to him, would be able to reduce the accusation to a certainty. Mr. Gallatin has had the chance and after thirteen months examination behold! he has discerned that by the prudent and judicious conduct of Mr. Pickering, he has gained 14,000 dollars for the United States in the remittances to Holland, every dollar of which he might have pocketed, if he had thought proper. In justice to the character of Pickering, and for the sake of truth, this information is given. [Recorder]

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, 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 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 Henly, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper, he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's
GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Nervous disorders,  Consumptions,  Lowness of spirits,  Loss of appetite,  Impurity of the blood,  Hysterical affections,  Inward weaknesses,  Seminal weaknesses,  Fluor albus, (or whites)  Barrenness,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,  Indigestion,  Melancholy,  Gout in the stomach,  Pains in the limbs,  Relaxations,  Involuntary emissions,  Obligate gleets,  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 complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wyth county, Virginia.
Gentlemen,
I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second-Street, between Mary and Christian-Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S
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 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 Terec 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 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—staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania. Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER , minister of the Moravian church, in York-town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time, in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to 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 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.
