He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good clothing, a description of which is unneces- sary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he ab- sconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now said to be free. The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the dis- covery of those who have been accessory to his concealment.

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, January 5.
DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for the appointment of a committee of enquiry into the official conduct of SAMUEL CHASE.
(Continued.)
Mr. R. Griswold. Gentlemen will acknowledge that this is a subject of great importance and delicacy. No one will doubt but that we ought to execute our duty so as to preserve the fountains of justice pure, and that we ought at the same time to treat the important character of a judge, or of any other high officer, with respect. I do not know but that this mode of procedure is warranted by precedent. But if it is, it is unknown to me. As the resolution now stands, I do not think it perfectly correct. The honorable gentleman from Virginia says he is acquainted with facts that warrant the proposed enquiry. The question is whether the house ought to be governed by the opinions of any one member. We know not what those facts are; the gentleman declines stating them. I do think, as the subject now strikes me, that the conviction of any one member of the propriety of this measure, cannot warrant the interposition of the House. Instead of taking the individual opinion of a member, it ought to be stated that certain facts exist, which, if proved, will justify an impeachment. I do not know whether these ideas are not incorrect, having never before contemplated, or had a suspicion that such a motion would be made.
As to the remarks of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, I do not consider them as entitled to much weight. If the facts stated by him were of his personal knowledge, they would undoubtedly merit attention. But he merely states that which he has received from others, and which amounts to nothing more than that the judge refused liberty to the counsel to argue a point of law after it was decided, and confined their argument to facts. In so doing, the judge may have erred, but it was an error of judgment, for which he cannot be impeached. No lawyer will, perhaps, say that it was not the province of the judge to decide the law, and that he has not the right to prevent counsel from arguing it after his mind is made up. But this information is not of the knowledge of the gentleman. Are we then to institute an enquiry into the conduct of a high officer of the government merely on hearsay? This has never been done under our government. In the late case of Judge Pickering, proof was furnished by the affidavits of witnesses testifying certain facts. I do not therefore consider it correct to proceed to enquire on the opinion of any gentleman. The proper course is first to have proofs which will justify ourselves to our own consciences in making the enquiry. For we ought not to touch the character of a judge, unless we are satisfied from facts that there is good reason for an investigation into his conduct. Gentlemen will say that making an enquiry into the official conduct of a judge does not touch his character.
Gentlemen say if this committee find the conduct of the judge to have been correct, they will make a report to that effect; but it does not follow that the report will contain all the evidence adduced, and suspicion may still rest on the character of the judge, and that some facts may not be stated, which, if stated would shew his misconduct. Whereas if the business be bro't generally before the house, on the exhibition of certain facts, the public will be enabled to decide whether they warrant impeachment or even suspicion. With this view of the subject, I am of opinion, that it will be best to delay acting in this affair, until facts shall be disclosed which will justify the step now proposed to be taken. I have as high a respect for the opinion of the gentleman from Virginia as for that of any other member on this floor; but I doubt whether we can justify our votes on the opinion of any single member; facts alone ought to govern our opinions. I, therefore, for the purpose of considering the course most proper to be pursued, move a postponement of the further consideration of the motion until to-morrow.
Mr. J. Randolph. Were I the personal enemy of the gentleman who is the object of this resolution, I should take precisely that course which the gentleman from Connecticut, on this occasion, seems more
than half inclined to take. That gentleman wishes the resolution to lay until to-morrow, in order that he may have time to consider whether he can bring himself to refuse the enquiry altogether. He says that he cannot, or rather—for he speaks doubtingly—he thinks he cannot see the propriety of instituting an enquiry without evidence. What evidence? Nothing short of legal proof—testimony on oath. And what is the object of the resolution? To acquire that very evidence. If we had the evidence, to what purpose make enquiry? As however the evidence cannot be had without enquiry, and the gentleman will not grant the enquiry but upon the evidence it is plain that, if we take the course which he recommends, we must go without both. Will gentlemen offer objections against enquiry which are applicable only to impeachment? If any impeachment were moved they would have a right to call for evidence. But what is the object of the present motion? merely to enquire whether there exists evidence which will justify an impeachment. But this enquiry we are told cannot be instituted on mere hearsay, although we have the declaration of a member in his place. What would be said of a grand jury who being informed by one of their body that A or B could testify to the fact of a murder being committed within their jurisdiction, should refuse an application to the court to have them summoned—and because they cannot find a bill of indictment unsupported by evidence, should reject that evidence which might be within their reach. I profess not that tenderness of conscience which has been displayed by the gentleman from Connecticut. My conscience teaches me to accuse no man wrongfully, but to deny enquiry into the official conduct of none, however exalted his station; and I had supposed from his practice that the gentleman held the same opinion. For it will be recollected that on the eve of the close of the last session, he had himself instituted an enquiry which went to impeach the conduct of some of the first officers of the government. No one on that occasion stepped in between the demand for an enquiry and those officers implicated in it? No enquiry was made, and it precluded any further proceeding on the part of the House; since the charges which had been attempted to be brought forward would not bear examination. Mr. R. concluded by calling for the Yeas and Nays.
(To be Continued.)
From the CHARLESTON COURIER.
Subject concluded from Friday's Advertiser.
Now let us see whether the evils of this pernicious system of pretended economies, by which such a deadly blow has been given to the representation of the country, and such a grievous loss and disgrace has been sustained at Tripoli, are counterbalanced by any salutary effects of a pecuniary kind, and real saving to the country.
First, let it be observed that all the time the inconsiderate part of the people were giving credit to our executive cabinet for a reduction of taxes, that cabinet was actually expending the principal of the country; the proceeds of the vessels, munition, &c. which they have converted into cash. The federal leaders still admonishing them that the false colouring which they were giving to the state of our public finances, would at last fall heavy upon them and on the country. An armament of two sixteen gun vessels and a number of gun boats, which though not specified, we cannot suppose to be great, since it is left to old economists to determine, cannot be got ready without new taxes. This was an evil which the federal party was continually endeavouring in vain to awaken the public attention. But the political existence of the party depended entirely upon the promised parsimony of the executive; so the public concerns like a French or British soldier to be supplied with a bare sufficiency to keep soul and body together, and in case of indisposition or accident, were to be sent to the hospital—and the public treasury, and the naval and military stores and arsenals which ought to be at all times filled with a sufficiency to supply at a day's warning, armaments much greater than those now proposed, are left empty, that the men in power may say to each individual, "There my honest citizen, comfort yourself and congratulate your country on the reflection that you have at length got an administration which, whatever happens to the state will keep your pockets untouched! 'Tis true that more than three hundred of your fellow citizens are languishing in slavery, and rotting in the
dungeons of Mahomedan barbarians; and what is worse that a frigate which cost the states a large sum of money is taken from us, and its guns turned against ourselves; but then you my friend, have two or three dollars more blackening with age and want of use in your chest, which may possibly be some time or other useful to you or your great grand children; so do, like a good and wise man as you are, vote for me and my party at the next election; keep us in place, and though the honor, the territorial safety and the commercial security of the country should go to the devil for it, we will not touch a farthing from your pockets, till we have taken the last shilling from the purses of those federal dogs, the merchants of the country.
It cannot be forgotten that the nation had a large quantity of Bank Stock, which our readers will remember was sold out by our wonderful financiers without any satisfactory reason being assigned. As it was sold to disadvantage, and for less than it was really worth to the country, the public some time or other, when they have time and inclination to wipe their eyes, will know what inference to draw from the bargain. One of the advantages we derived from it was, that so long as it existed the government could in any case of hasty emergency at once provide for the exigencies of the state, without waiting for the tardy process of tax raising. But now we are caught by the enemy with a treasury so empty, and so destitute of immediate resource, that our tax-repealing executive, in contradiction to his pompous promises and preposterous representations, is obliged to come and ask for new taxes—for what? Why to build two sixteen gun vessels and a few gun boats, which many merchants in America, and we will venture to say any one of fifty thousand individuals in England, could purchase with cash down upon the nail, at six hours warning. What a precious contemptible aspect must all this bear in the eyes of a wondering world. But where are the gun boats to be built? In America? How are they to be transported to the Mediterranean? No nation in Europe will so far violate its neutrality as to supply them, or let them be built in their ports.
It is impossible at least yet a while to ascertain with precision what the loss of the ship, and ransom of the men will cost. But we have grounds enough for a loose calculation on the loss and gain on the capture of our vessel, by other losses on one side and our economies on the other. In considering this point we will, in imitation of the message to congress on that occasion, discard all feeling for the bitter pangs and sufferings of our fellow citizens and take it up as a mere dry question of prudence. Had the federalists continued in administration there would have been kept afloat ready for service, a naval force sufficient to prevent this disaster, and most probably to awe the barbarians into a just sense of our rights and power. And our flag would have been so respected that no piratical privateers dare as they do, to block up our harbors and plunder our commerce. The cost of all this would be little if at all felt by any individual; particular if it was levied where it ought, upon luxuries, upon articles of sloth, vanity and vice—on pleasure carriages, on loaf sugar and on whiskey. No individual would have been at this day poorer; the whole nation would be much more rich and respectable. But after all the expense will fall as heavy or perhaps heavier as things are, than they would by such precautionary measures; and taxes must be raised. Yes the president himself says taxes must be raised; but observe how! Upon commerce. Votes must be lost to the party now in power at the next election, if taxes were to be laid upon the things that can best bear taxation; the influential men of the country at least must be free from taxes; so our commerce already clogged and overburthened, is to be pressed with additional weight, to secure the permanence of the anti federal party in administration. Nay, what is it however shameful that has not been one to effect that purpose. But do the people know all the time that while the commerce which supplies them with many of the necessaries of life, and at the same time takes off their produce, is overburthened by this mode of taxation, it is they who really pay it in the end? if not, let them learn that they pay the same indirectly as if taxed by the poll, they would directly—and that great source of their wealth, comfort and national greatness, their commerce is injured besides.
"The Bill passed unanimously," says the Anti Federal print from which we have made the extracts. What can more fully display the respective conduct of the two parties than this fact of unanimity. A Federal member might have risen in Congress, and with great propriety and undeniable truth, have spoken as follows, directing his discourse to the treasury side of the House:
"Well, gentlemen, you have now brought the country and yourselves into the distressful situation which we have in this very place frequently predicted you would. We warned you against dismantling the country of its navy. But you did it because it served your purpose; and the consequence is, that we have fallen a prey to a race of Mahomedan barbarians, and now you

time and ask for new ships, in the place of those you have destroyed. We warned you against recalling the Internal Taxes. But you did it because it served your purpose; and now you are destitute of an immediate resource. In these distressing circumstances, you come to Congress for aid, and we, calling from us all consideration for the honor and welfare of our country, say, we will not, as you would, if you were in our situation, and we in yours, take advantage of your situation to embarrass you with opposition; we will not, as you would, strive to increase the evil to the country in order to render you more criminal; we will not cramp or palsy your efforts, as you would ours—because the safety and honor of our country is all we have in view. We will in this, as we have in every thing else, contrary to your practice, make our political conduct subservient to the public good. We will liberally supply you with the means to maintain the dignity and support the interests of the States—take all you ask—take more—take enough: but let us not hereafter be told of failure for want of means. We will cheerfully do by you, what neither reason, common sense, sound policy, nor political integrity have ever yet been able to take you do by us—we will support you in this exigent moment; but, remember, you never in a single instance supported us; remember that when we formed and brought forward that federal constitution under which this country has risen to its present proud height, you opposed us—to answer your own private views. When the insolence and aggressions of European nations made defensive measures both within and without necessary, when we, with the Father of the Republic, Washington, of immortal fame, at our head, brought forward those measures, said proved to you all that nothing else could save the country—you opposed us—to answer your own private purposes. When French intriguers—the ministers of the sanguinary monsters who then ruled France and annoyed the world, were influencing our people to insurrection and even raising an army in the heart of our land to involve us in war with Great Britain, and subjugate us as it has since subjugated Holland, and we took the proper means to put them down, to stop the ferment and preserve neutrality, you opposed us to answer your private purposes. Now how we act—you call for aid, and we step forward and unanimously concur in granting it.—This we do not as a favor to you, but as a duty to our country; as an example to instruct you how to act upon future occasions; as a pledge to America that no private petty considerations will ever make us even for a moment unmindful of the public interests; and above all, as a lesson to instruct our fellow citizens by a comparison of your conduct with ours, how to distinguish between plausible demagogues and disinterested patriots—to avoid the one, and adhere to the other.”

We also learn, that Mr. Burr has a majority of 36 on Staten Island.

Kelly, arrived from Amsterdam, informs, that Generals Moreau and Pichegru had both been tried and condemned; he had not heard of their execution: on the trial several letters were produced, and Moreau asked if they were his writing, which he denied—saying, “when ever his hand writing was shewn him, he would not deny it.”—Captain K. adds—that the French general M c Dermot, had taken command of the Batavian troops, whose officers were said to be much dissatisfied—That an embargo was hourly expected to take place, as a fleet was ready to sail, consisting of 3 sail of the line, 2 frigates, a few small armed boats, and 60 sail of transports—That a fleet of gun boats had failed for Rotterdam—And that on the 22d of February orders were issued for all neutral vessels to go in the Road to give room for the transports, but were countermanded next day, so far as related to vessels nearly ready for sea.”
The London “Courier” of the 15th ult. (which has just been put into our hands by a commercial friend) contains the following articles: (N. T. Com. Adv.)  “Pichegru had attempted to elude discovery by using crutches. It is said, too, in some Dutch papers which have been received to the 10th, that he had been a considerable time in the Thuilleries before his arrest. To a question respecting the cause of his having quitted England, he replied that he left it to call General Moreau to account for his conduct towards him, Moreau having denounced him to the Directory. Being further pressed as to his having seen Moreau, he is said to have answered, “After what has passed between us, we cannot see each other but sword in hand.”  “It is understood that Moreau is to be tried before a criminal court, consisting of six judges; and that he is not to be allowed the benefit of a trial by jury.”  “The firing heard at Deal and Dover two or three days ago, did not, it is now said, proceed from our cruisers, but from the enemy, who were exercising their mortars, gun-batteries, and flotilla. Their boats and vessels have made no movement indicative of an intention to put to sea.”  “The embargo, which has just been taken off, did not extend to every port.—No embargo took place either at Leith, Hull, or Newcastle.”
Arrived at Philadelphia, the Eliza, of Providence, capt. Hallowell, from Alicante, which he left the 28th February, and informs that when he sailed the Spanish packet was daily expected from Algiers, and it was confidently believed would bring accounts of the liberation of captain Bainbridge and his Officers, through the interference of the Dey and French Commercial Agent, resident at Algiers.  United States brig Argus, Lieut. Hull, had arrived at Alicante from Genoa, and informed that the American vessels at that port had been put in requisition to convey
French troops, on a secret expedition; the ship Alexander, Hodgdon, of Baltimore, was one of them.  (Ame. Daily Adv.)  There are letters in town which state that the Emperor of Russia has by his ambassador at Constantinople interfered with his good offices to the release of the officers and crew of the United States frigate Philadelphia.  (Aurora.)  It appears that much dissatisfaction prevails at New Orleans in consequence of the conduct of the general government, and particularly in regard to the vote of the Senate relative to the traffic in slaves. A meeting of the citizens was held on the 14th of March, in which much warmth of temper was evinced, and violent measures proposed. It was finally agreed to appoint a committee to draft an address or remonstrance to congress on the affairs of the territory generally.  Phila. Gaz.
A letter from Cape Francois of the 30th ult. mentions that an American vessels from Gonavies were to sail under the convoy of the British frigate Tartar, capt. Perkins.  Captain Appleton, arrived at Boston the 20th inst. from Martinique, in 25 days, informs, that that place was very closely blockaded by the British squadron, and that an attack was momentarily expected. In corroboration of this, he further advises, that the merchants had sent their most valuable property into the country; that the government were removing the public offices; and that the American captains were recommended to depart as soon as practicable to avoid the destruction of a siege, that was likely to be protracted to a considerable period, as the means of defence had been rendered very formidable, and the inhabitants resolute in their determination of opposing the enemy.
Extract of a letter to the Editor of the N. York Daily Advertiser, from Wm. Lee, Esq. United States Consul, at Bordeaux, Feb. 16, 1804.
Sir,  It is impossible to give you an idea of the distresses of the merchants of this city. Credit is totally destroyed, and misery is depicted in the countenance of every commercial man. What will be the end of this God only knows. I would advise all those who adventure this way to send out intelligent supercargoes, whose integrity can be depended on—and if the merchants of the United States were wise they would accept of no advance by means of facilities on London or Amsterdam. Remittances to these places cannot be made from this at the present crisis without great risk and uncertainty. I am settling all my affairs, and withdrawing my name from commerce entirely in order to live peaceable and happy, and to enable me to give a more effectual protection to those of my fellow-citizens who may need my assistance in my official capacity. A Consul ought not to have his name in commerce. Since the failure of Perrot and Binaud I have been solicited to join some of the first houses here. But I find there is no pleasure or safety in commerce in this country. I have therefore resisted their importunities.
The Joseph and Phebe, from Virginia, to Cowes and a market, arrived here a few days since, and has been seized vessel and cargo, for having touched in England.—The vessel I am in hopes we shall get restored. The brig Eagle, Young, of New-York, arrived here 16th January, from Bristol, having been taken in there by an English privateer, and is ordered out immediately.
The ship Columbine and cargo of Boston; and brig Sally and cargo, of Charleston, seized by the Custom House for debts due from Strabel and Martine, will be restored.  The cargoes of the schooner Eagle and Jefferson, belonging to Boston, which arrived here on the first and sixth inst. and consigned to Strabel and Martine, I have had deposited in the “Entrepot,” under the seal of the Court of Commerce, subject to the orders of the proprietor.
Extract of a letter from Madrid, received by a house in Philadelphia.
“The quarantine imposed on all vessels coming from America is severely and rigorously enforced. 40 days is the time fixed on all those from New-York, Philadelphia and Baltimore.  “The fact is we are imposed on, because we have no one here that attends to our commercial interests, or any regard paid to them whether we have 40 or 400 days quarantine. The American schooner Adventure, sent as a dispatch boat by the Spanish minister, performed only 15 days, while other vessels that sailed later in the season by a month and six weeks, are o-
bliged to remain 40. The Spanish government have sent within these few days, some troops to America, destined it is said for Louisiana.”
Extract of a letter from the Cape of Good Hope, Jan. 24.  “There is a French ship in the bay, (the Geographe) which has been three years in search of the ships of the celebrated Peyrouse. She found two men among the natives of New Zealand, who had belonged to them, & were the only survivors out of the two ships, and have since died on board of the Geographe. They informed, that one of the ships was burnt, and the other (Peyrouse's own ship) went to pieces.”

The following is an instance of beautiful simplicity:  Timour or Tamerlane, in consequence of a severe action, having his followers reduced to ten, wandered in the desert. After swimming the Oxus, he was joined by some of his confederates, who had some time sought him in the desert. Timour describes their fortunate meeting in the following beautiful manner:—“When their eyes fell upon me, says he, they were overwhelmed with joy; & they alighted from their horses and they came and kneeled; and they kissed my stirrup, I also came down from my horse, and took each of them in my arms. And I put my turban on the head of the first chief; and my girdle, rich in jewels and wrought with gold, I bound on the loins of the second; and the third I clothed in my own coat. And they went and I went also; and the hour of prayer was arrived and we prayed. And we mounted our horses and came to my dwelling.”

Their Lordships in this case directed further proof to be made of the property of the ship within nine months, and also farther proof, in regard to several claims for the cargo, and restored a part.

Their Lordships restored the ship and that part of the cargo claimed by Mr. Gibson, and condemned the rest in the costs of the appeals, but directed

REANIMATION.
WHEN the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by imprudence, inheritance, accident or disease, are tottering upon the brink of the grave, it is not in despair that relief is to be found: There is a medicine which has restored thousands from infirmity and misery to health and happiness, which is
THE AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL.
Since this excellent medicine was first discovered by Dr. Bardwell, several thousand females have experienced its salutary effects; many of whom had been reduced to the brink of the grave, having used every remedy recommended as specific in their complaints, and had made every application to the faculty that could be obtained. The following recent case is selected from a numerous list.
From Mrs. Eleanor Wadsworth, Providence, (R. I.)
Sir, WE received yours and with much pleasure comply with your request, as my daughter has certainly received very great benefit from Dr. Bardwell's Aromatic Lozenges of Steel.
In the winter of 1802 my daughter, who is in her 17th year caught a very severe cold, which with the violent fever which accompanied it, confined her to her room upwards of four months; during this period we paid for Doctors bills and consultations 150 dollars. The fever left her in the most deplorable, and debilitated state with hardly any use of her limbs, so that we were obliged to carry her from the bed to the chair. Being strongly persuaded by the Doctor we went to Ball's Town Springs and stayed the season, and thought she gained considerable strength by the use of the waters; but by the fatigue of the passage (having very rough weather) she became as weak and her cough much worse than before. During the last winter her whole nervous system has been so irritable, and her spirits so low and depressed, that death was desirable. In the latter end of January we saw an Advertisement recommending the Lozenges of Steel for similar complaints, we immediately purchased a packet of them, and before the whole of them were taken, they evidently produced a change in her system, which no medicine before had been able to effect; we sent for two more packets. It is now fourteen days since she began to mend; she has laid aside her crutches, has been twice on horse back, and if the weather should prove favorable we intend coming to Peeks-kill early in April to stop until we go to Ball's-Town Springs: from there we will send you our address, where with pleasure we will satisfy any enquiries.
Price one Dollar per Packet.
Particular directions for their use are sealed up with each but as the great benefit to be derived from them can only be secured by having them genuine, the public are requested to observe that the name of Thomas Stokes & Co. are affixed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine

are only to be had, in Alexandria, of Messrs.

Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills,
For the prevention and cure of Yellow, Bilious and Putrid Fevers.
Every experienced physician knows what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile in the habit; however salutary a due secretion of this fluid may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known, from its putrefacent qualities, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious Pills, in curing, and particularly in preventing this dreadful disease, is universally known in the islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint agents in all the mercantile towns in the United States, for the accommodation of the public. The Antibilious Pills are therefore, in an especial manner, recommended as a preventative, deserving the notice of all persons going to the West Indies, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible reason, that can result from long and extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the prevalence of our fall fevers, will prove an infallible preventative, and that, if taken in the early stages of these fevers, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age.
In sickly times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, once a week.
Observe that the signatures of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
Dr. Atkinson's genuine Essence of Mustard.
Rheumatism in every stage, instantly submits to its penetrating powers, which he succeeded in curing the most desperate cases of rheumatism gout, lumbago, sciatica, numbness, palsy and complaints of the stomach, after various medicines have proved ineffectual. It is prepared in pills, and also in a fluid state. The pills are particularly serviceable in flatulences and indigestion, and by their salutary operation, promote perspiration, and gradually undermine the most obstinate rheumatism; and, at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The fluid essence is a remarkable active embrocation, necessarily used with the pills, and as generally excites a tingling sensation; it removes the causes of pain, by bringing on a circulation in the arts affected; by this means, frozen limbs, the arts sprains and bruises, old strains anore-laxations, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signature of Thomas Stokes and Co. being affixed to each bottle; without which mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment.
The only medicine that cures this dilagreement disease, by one application, to many thousands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public that the name Thomas Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without this mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes; specifically removes inflammations, dimness, itchings, and films it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unparalleled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills.
An agreeable and certain preventive of the predisposition to inflammatory and malignant fever, which prevails at particular seasons of the year. The rapid and increasing demand from every part of the United States, and the West India islands, is the best evidence of their superior excellence.
CHAMBAUD'S Antasthmatic Lozenges.
A radical cure for coughs, colds, asthma and con- sumptions, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c.
Mr. CHAMBAUD, the sole proprietor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relieving many persons in a most precarious state of health. In common colds this medicine produces so salutary a perspiration that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convulsive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strengthening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, affecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Asthma and confined consumptions have repeatedly been eradicated by them. Infants in the hooping-cough, and women during pregnancy, may take them without the least fear of danger, and with the greatest expectation of relief, nor can it be administered at an improper season.
Dr. BARDWELL'S
Annodyne Essence, for all kinds of Head Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Annodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumptuous in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, instantly submit to its penetrating powers. This invaluable Annodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had failed; by its salutary operation, it infallibly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby prevents the return of the most obstinate periodical head aches.
SPRING PHYSIC.
DR. HUNTER'S Anti-Bilious Pills are unquestionably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of scurvy, scorbutic eruptions, leprosy, and other disorders originating from a corruptive state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Ellison, of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing scorbutic complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnson, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was afflicted with a most horrid leprosy, must have convinced every one who has read the particulars of these cases, besides which, a variety of proofs of their efficacy, authenticated by persons of character and respectability are open to the examination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supercede the necessity of any further comment from the Proprietor, yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcible its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.
Where also may be had,
Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges.—These Lozenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but effectually prevent their return. Those families who have followed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the Spring and Fall among their children, as their common physic, have now the happiness to find those children, which appeared sickly and consumptive, in the bloom of health, being entirely delivered from those dreadful vermin.
Sparta, Mount Pleasant,
March 27, 1803.
We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for these last two years. We always suspected that she had worms, and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, to that we despaired of curing her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being performed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them according to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offensive matter; the second brought away four monstrous thick worms nearly half a yard in length; and the third dose, a large quantity of a slimy, offensive matter. The vomiting and purging, with which this was frequently troubled have ceased—her appetite has become regular, and has over since enjoyed a perfect state of health, for which we are entirely indebted to this excellent medicine
DR. BARDWELL'S
Reanimating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life
Of the cure of Consumption and Asthma. Disorders in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholic and Diarrhea. Cautious in investigation, and attentive enquiry into the nature and laws of the animal economy, having long confirmed an opinion in the mind of the inventor, that all the maladies abovementioned, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequent weakness, the analogy of their source, by a natural inference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Reanimating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and astonishing success, has obtained the wormiest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprietors can confidently recommend as one of the most certain, effectual, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world.
Price 1 dollar, and 1 dollar 50 cents per bottle The large bottle contains nearly two of the small. Copious Directions for their use are sealed up with each bottle.
Dr. Stoughton's Cordial Bitters, faithfully prepared at the original warehouse, London.
This incomparable medicine has stood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near an hundred years, in the cure and prevention of,
Loss of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholic, urticis, hysterie vapours, faintness and tremblings, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children scurvy, obstructions or stop- ages, bilious fevers, sick fits, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknowledged by all who have tried their effects, to be far superior to the compositions formerly imposed in imitation thereof; the proprietor has reduced the price to those who purchase largely above fifty per cent. Directions will be patted on the Bottle, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeits and spurious pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bitters; and in order to impose their trash on the public, they sometimes copy a part of the true advertisement and directions.
Specific Drops for Deafness.
FOR many years have these drops been used with amazing success, in DEAFNESS & HARDNESS OF HEARING. Those who are unacquainted with the great relief afforded by this valuable medicine, are earnestly recommended to a trial. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, and very often perfected a complete cure.
Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar. June 13. 12w
