POLITICAL ESSAYS
On the essential and distinctive qualities of Democracies and Republics, with reference to the Constitution of the United States.
FROM THE BALTIMORE REPUBLICAN, OR ANTI-DEMOCRAT.
ESSAY X.
The extracts from the speeches of judge Wilson quoted by Mr. Duane, have already been examined. To that paper all to the first and eighth numbers of "the Editor," we beg leave to refer the reader; presuming, without pride, on the result of his sentence. We shall, therefore, offer but a few remarks, to shew how very distant the judge was from considering the constitution of the United States a democracy.
Speaking of the nature of the constitution he expresses himself thus:
I have already had the honor of mentioning its general nature, but I will repeat it. Sir, in its nature it is purely democratical; but its parts are calculated in such manner, as to obtain those advantages also which are peculiar to the other forms of government, in other countries. By appointing a single magistrate we secure strength, vigor, energy, and responsibility, in the executive department. By appointing a senate, the members of which are elected for six years, yet by a rotation already taken notice of, they are changing every second year, we secure the benefit of experience, while on the other hand, we avoid the inconveniences that arise from a long and detached establishment." (32)
Let it be borne in mind, on this occasion, that the judge, in a preceding speech, describing the advantages and disadvantages of the three forms of government, monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy, assigns, as the characteristics of monarchy, strength, dispatch, secrecy, unity of council; of aristocracy, wisdom, arising from experience and education. (33) Here he observes of the system, that, altho' in its principle it is democratical, yet that its parts are so calculated as to obtain those advantages also, peculiar to the other forms of government.
To the monarchical principle, therefore, we owe that the executive powers of the state are lodged in a single person; whence proceed strength, dispatch, secrecy, and unity of council; to the aristocratical principle, the duration of the senate beyond the period common to senates in democracies, from whence proceed the benefits of experience; and to the democratical principle, the limitation of the one to four, and of the other to six years duration, and their renovation from the body of the people.
Thus the monarchical and aristocratical principles, which pervade the presidential and senatorial branches of the government, secure to the state, the one, strength, vigor, dispatch, secrecy, and unity of council, and the other, wisdom, arising from experience and education; while the democratical principle, which is "carried into every part of the government," (34) guards for the former against the disadvantages of monarchy, and the latter against the inconveniences of aristocracy. And thus, as has been observed in a former paper, the democratical principle "glows in the president, warms in the senate, and burns in the house of representatives."
Could words render it more evident that judge Wilson, who was certainly a profound thinker and able statesman, considered the constitution not as one of "the three simple species of government" (35) he had described, but as a system made up of the principles and best properties of each?—With what propriety then can it be denominated by the name of either?
The constitution of the United States a democracy! with the executive powers of the state lodged in an individual, elected for four years and re-eligible; with a senate elected for six years and re-eligible; and with all judicial authority lodged in a few persons, nominated and appointed by the president, with the advice and consent of the senate, and holding their offices for life; with all foreign ministers, and commanders of armies and navies, appointed in like manner, by the president, and holding their offices at his will and pleasure.
The constitution of the United States a democracy! What? without the right appertaining to the whole people, to meet in assembly or assemblies, to appoint their ge-
(32) Idem: p. 129. (33) Idem: p. 88. (34) Mirror, No. 2. (35) Deb: Penn: Con: p. 39—40.
nerals, their magistrates, and ambassadors, to decide on war and peace, and impeachment, and to pass on all decrees relative to the public welfare. (36) If this system be a complete democracy, it is of an entire new species, unheard of before the present day. No; those properties which form the constitution of the United States and a democracy, are irreconcilable. The moment those properties so prominent in the constitution of the United States, take their places in a democracy, the nature of the government is changed, and it can no longer be called by that name.
The result of the whole matter is, that the constitution of the United States is neither in form nor in fact a democracy.
"Among those who have treated of government in the way of science (says Polybius) the greatest part have destined civil government into three kinds, royalty, aristocracy, and democracy. But it may very reasonably be demanded of those writers, whether they speak of these as the only kinds, or simply as the best? In either case, indeed, they must be charged with error. For, first, that kind of government is undoubtedly to be esteemed the best, which is composed of all the three now mentioned. The truth of this is evident from experience and from fact, as well as from reasons." (37)
Judge Wilson, after examining some of the difficulties which the convention was obliged to encounter, in the course of its proceedings, observes:
"The United States may adopt any one of four different systems. They may become consolidated into one government, in which the separate existence of the states shall be entirely absorbed. They may reject any plan of union or association, and act as separate and unconnected states. They may form two or more confederacies. They may unite in one federal republic." After enumerating the objections to the three first, he continues. "It will not be necessary to employ much time or many arguments to shew that the last is the most eligible system that can be proposed. By adopting this system, the vigor and decision of a wide spreading monarchy may be joined to the freedom and beneficence of a contracted republic. The extent of territory, the diversity of climate and soil, the number, greatness, and connection of lakes and rivers, with which the United States are intersected and almost surrounded, all indicate an enlarged government to be fit and advantageous for them. The principles and dispositions of their citizens, indicate that, in this government, liberty shall reign triumphant. Such, indeed, have been the general opinions and wishes entertained since the era of independence."
If these opinions and wishes are well founded, as they have been general, the late convention were justified in proposing to their constituents, one confederate republic, as the best system of national government for the United States. (38)
"A constitution that would produce the advantages of good, and prevent the inconvenience of bad government. A constitution whose beneficence and energy shall pervade the whole union, and bind and embrace the interests of every part. A constitution that would ensure peace, freedom, and happiness, to the states and people of America." (39)
Wisely, therefore, has the constitution of the United States been made to partake of the principles of the three forms of government; thereby securing to the people the advantages of "a wide spreading monarchy and the freedom and beneficence of a contracted republic;" and hence, with a strict propriety, and conformably to experience, fact, and reason, is it called a republic.
(36) Montesquieu in his Spirit of Laws, says, In a democracy, the people in whom the supreme power resides, ought to do of themselves whatever they conveniently can—whatever they themselves cannot rightly perform they must do by their ministers—the ministers are not properly their ministers they have the nomination of them.—It is therefore a fundamental maxim in this government that the people should choose their ministers, that is their magistrates. b. ii. c. 2.

From Bell's Weekly Messenger.
THE PRESENT POLITICS OF EUROPE.
Our readers will find under our foreign head, some particulars of the progress which Bonaparte is making in Italy, not by arms, but by cheaper methods of artifice and intrigue.
It was plain from the first that the sweeping title of king of Italy was not assumed for nothing, and the name continues every day to be less empty; Sardinia is extinct—Genoa is incorporated—and Tuscany and Naples pushed upon their frontiers, can only hope to exist during the pleasure of the emperor. The Pope in his ecclesiastical domains, is a prisoner out upon bail, and must surrender himself and his territories, upon the mandate of his master—whilst by the possession of Switzerland, and the great avenues of Italy,—Austria is effectually cut off from all access to Venice.
The plea of the Genoese for incorporating themselves with France, is somewhat plausible 'Blockaded in our ports by the tyranny of the English, though neutrals, we are punished as enemies, and can no longer subsist by that commerce, which is the only means of our support. When the strong oppress the weak, their only refuge is in the protection of the strong.'
'Excluded from the seas we are desirous of a continental connexion, and in uniting ourselves with France we shall be secure as members of her empire, and partake of its glories and of its destinies.'
A national poll is then set on foot—and by a vote of the population, of Genoa surrenders herself to France.
Without any nice examinations of these arguments, Bonaparte accepts the surrender—a senate is convened, speeches and compliments are bandied on both sides, a constitution is sorted out from his traveling port folio, the guns fire, the emperor is proclaimed, and the most commercial province of Italy, with the most impregnable city, and population of a million, is assigned and delivered up to France in half an hour.
What impression is this likely to make upon the continent; Russia has ever dissembled; she has sufficiently expressed her resentment on the old score, and now that Bonaparte has chalked on it, it is not likely to subside. The case of Austria as we have observed is not improved by this event. In adding to this measure of insult, and encroachment Bonaparte, is certainly adding to his security; in case of a rupture he is saved the trouble of conquering Genoa; it is only to be feared he may proceed so far in this progress of peaceable acquisition, that there will not be room to make a stand in Italy or any where else.
In the event of a continental war which is as certain as any thing of speculation can be, it naturally suggests to us here to take some view of the several powers.
The situation of the court of Vienna is strangely equivocal; its politics for this some time past have been mysterious: with the appearance of aversion to the British cause it is said, by nice observers, to be on the eye of coalition, and with the shew of friendship for France, it is believed that the sword is about to be drawn. The suspicious conduct of Austria has an excuse from her situation; the slightest movement of hostility brings an army upon her, the first onset of which she is not able to resist. Unable, but by open and tedious solicitation, to rouse the German states she despairs of this assistance till too late, and surrounded by powers who though involved in a common interest to resist the encroachments of France, are yet willing to truckle to despotism to lengthen the span of their existence, or jealous of any confederacy by which Austria may profit, she hesitates even to negotiate for fear of detection, and is unripe for any independent or open action.
That incomparable body of troops which at the beginning of the late war, had given her so decided a superiority, no longer exists in the same persons. If her troops have derived advantages from a long series of actual services, these advantages were equally on the side of the enemy. Her armies have so often been beaten, that it is no wonder if a sort of weariness and despair have crept among them, after such an infinite train of unwearied fatigues, when they have seen that so many valliant exploits have been only productive of disaster—Many of her best generals have retired or have been disgraced, her dominions tho' large, are not equal to any extensive subsidies; her population though numerous is exhausted and dispersed. These circum-
stances have probably made her more dila-tory and cautious than usual. But notwithstanding Austria has a strength some-what unaccountable and peculiar to herself—More deficient in pecuniary resources is better able to subsist and do considera-ble things without them. By long habit the whole state is formed to its necessities and the subject is more ready to supply free quarters, and submit to military licence than any other. The country is abundantly fruitful in all its parts, and whilst the war is carried on arbitrary government, op-erating on so extensive an object, can hardly fail of such resources, as must serve an Austrian army; which is still paid, as Tacitus describes the troops of the ancient Germans to have been; "they have a plen-iful table in lieu of payment."
Though slow in her operations, Aus-tria makes amends by her perseverance; if she does not play the game with suffi-cient spirit, she never throws up her cards; and though by an error common to many courts, but particularly fatal to this, she is accustomed to interfere too much and too minutely in the operations of the campaign, there is reason to believe that the prudence of the Archduke under whose guidance her armies at present are has effectually cured her of this folly.
By the celerity of the movements of France, advantages are gained over Austria before she can regulate her resources or muster her troops; but it has always been the design of Austria, that the issue of the war should rather arise from the general result and concurrence of all the operations, gradually producing a solid though a slow advantage, than from the effect of a bold quick, and masterly stroke.
Russia entirely governed by a pacific so-veraign, and by aged, and therefore cau-tious ministers, is wholly occupied in hus-banding her resources, and bringing into account her vast extent of territory. The sphere of her ambition is not the south of Europe; her object of aggrandizement, if any, is on the side of the east. With re-gard to the European politics she proposes but one end—security; and therefor, has not yet taken, nor will take any turn, part than what is necessary to this aim. It is thus that she has hitherto preferred coun-teraction to open force; but should Aus-tria, for self-defence, be compelled to re-new the war, Russia, from the same mo-tive, though not in the same degree, will come forward to assist her. This assist-ance, however, will be limited by her ori-ginal policy, and to her own immediate in-terest; she will not suffer Austria to be fur-ther weakened; but neither on the other hand will she attempt an extensive recov-ery of the former conquests of Bonaparte.
With regard to England, such an ally as this will be almost ineffectual.
Prussia, now on the edge of the French territory, with a ministry who already con-sider Bonaparte as more their master than their own sovereign, with the name of a French ally, is almost as effectually a vice royalty of France, as Holland itself.
In respect to the northern powers Swe-den appears rising to that consequence and strength as to be advancing into the sta-tion from which Prussia is rapidly reced-ing. In any event of a shock to the French power, whether by defeat or insurrection in some of the numerous provinces, the German powers would find a rallying post in Sweden, and she might again become as in the days of Gustavus. Denmark is not so lost to the state of its own interest as may at first sight appear. This state evidently only rests in her present torpor till the commencement of action by some great power. We shall resume the sub-ject at a future time.
LONDON, July 14.
Humbolt assures us, that several volca-noes in the Andes threw up at times a muddy substance, mixed with a large quan-tity of fresh water, and with it a large number of fish, which do not appear to be injured, nor to have been exposed to a great heat. They are sometimes ejected from the crater of the volcano, and some-times from lateral apertures; but they al-ways come from the height of from twelve to thirteen hundred toises above the level plains. Humbolt is of opinion that these fish are bred in lakes in the interior of the crater.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
On Friday the speaker and commo-appearing at the bar, the royal assent commission was given to the consolidat-fund, witnesses indemnity, impeachm-continuation, smuggling prevention, al-compensation, and several other pub-private, and local bills.
The lord chancellor then, as speak-the lords commissioners, addressed

houses of parliament in the following speech: My Lords and Gentlemen, "We have it in command from his ma- esty to express the satisfaction with which he has observed the proofs you have given in the course of the present session of your constant regard for the honor of his crown and the interest of his dominions, and par- ticularly the measures you have adopted for strengthening his majesty's hands at this important conjuncture, by the aug- mentation of the disposable military force of the kingdom."
My Lords and Gentlemen, "His majesty has directed us particu- larly to thank you in his majesty's name, for the zeal and liberality with which you have granted the large supplies which ne- cessity of the public service has requir- ed." My Lords and Gentlemen, "His majesty has not yet been enabled to communicate to you the result of the negotiation, in which he is engaged with powers on the continent; but you may rest assured that no step will be omitted on his majesty's part, for promoting such a con- serving general and permanent tranquility; or may, if necessary, furnish the means of repelling with vigor the continued en- croachments, on the part of the French government, which threaten every day more and more, the liberty and independ- ence of the nations of Europe."
Then a commission for proroguing the parliament was read. After which the lord chancellor said, My Lords and Gentlemen, "By virtue of his majesty's commission under the great seal, to us, and other lords directed, and now read, we do, in his ma- esty's name, and in obedience to his com- mands, prorogue this parliament to Thurs- day, the twenty-second day of August next, to be then here holden; and this parlia- ment is accordingly prorogued to Thurs- day, the 22d day of August next."
July 15. At a late hour last night no communica- tion from or concerning lord Nelson was received at the admiralty. The public feels an uncommon degree of anxiety on this interesting subject. We will hazard no speculation, as to the probability of his lordship's having overtak- en and defeated the combined fleets of the enemy: because we are in possession of no facts, except those already before the public.
Parliament is now retired from its labors and we believe the English history can scarcely furnish an instance of any session in which so much has been said and so lit- tle done. No one effectual measure to- wards increasing the means of our nation- al defence, has been adopted. Nothing has been done to cement and consolidate the interests of the empire; nor to gain the co-operation of foreign powers. With the exception of raising money for the ordinary and extraordinary services of the year, every thing continues nearly in the same state as when parliament met. The war is equally ineffectual and the prospect of its termination equally remote. There is this difference, however, that the threatened invasion is more likely to be attempted now, than it was a any period since the commencement of hostilities.
BOSTON, September 2. TRIPOLI. In our last we had the pleasure of an- nouncing to the public, the interesting and highly grateful information, that PEACE IS MADE WITH TRIPOLI, on terms honorable to the United States; in conse- quence of which our unfortunate country- men are at length emancipated. There has been no arrival since, by which this intelli- gence could be corroborated by any advi- ces more direct or official. There can be no doubt, however, with respect to the principal fact, that peace is at length made but public curiosity still remains to be gra- tified with the account of many interesting particulars. It was at first reported (and so we stated the fact) that the ex-bashaw, with the aid of our brave countryman, gen. Eaton, succeeded in ejecting the usurper and as rightful possessor, was reinstated in the government. It is now stated, we know not on what authority, that the at- tempt of the ex-bashaw has wholly failed! We are therefore left wholly to conjecture, with respect both to the real cause and the exact terms of the peace. Is it far from being probable that the reigning bashaw would have consented to emancipate his prisoners, without an exorbitant ransom, unless under the influence of imperious necessity. Nor is it probable that our go- vernment would willingly give such ran- som, at the present moment, when a pow-
erful squadron had just arrived in the Me- diterranean, when the season of active operations was just commencing, with a force, which we must suppose our govern- ment thought sufficient to compel the go- vernment of Tripoli to make peace on ad- vantageous terms. We are therefore in- duced, until the particulars are announced, to attribute the merit of this achievement to the bravery, the spirit and perseverance of our distinguished countryman general Eaton. He is represented as a man of dauntless courage, of ardent perseverance, of inexhaustible resources, of a spirit not to be deterred from the pursuit of a great undertaking, whilst the least prospect of success remains. It is therefore presuma- ble, that in conjunction with the ex-bashaw, if he did not make a complete conquest of the territory of Tripoli, that he gained such an accession of strength, and so far intimidated the reigning bashaw, as to com- pel him to emancipate the American cap- tives on easy terms, and to acknowledge partly at least, if not fully, the rightful claims of his brother.
It is certain the heroic Eaton, with his ally, gained a victory over the troops of Tripoli, and were successful in taking pos- session of the strong fort of Derna. It is highly probable, therefore, that the reign- ing bashaw, might, under such circum- stances, be willing to grant peace to the United States on advantageous terms, for the purpose of withdrawing their support from his brother. But would the agents of America enter into such a peace without making provision for the claims of their powerful ally, by whose assistance it was obtained?

Left schooner Polly, Hawes, for Boston, and ready for sea. August 20 and 21st, in lat. 28, long. 71, experienced a very severe hurricane, the sea frequently making a breach half mast high, and ex- pected the deck to be stove in by the great force of the water.

COMMUNICATION. Theatrical.—A spectator could not but be delighted with Mrs. Wood, in the char- acter of Amandhis, in "The Child of Na- ture"—You will however Mr. Snowden, permit a married man to say, he thinks Mrs. Francis, in the afterpiece, supported the character of Fiametta, in a style that be- spoke her an elder daughter of the same fa- mily.
Extract of a letter from London, July 15. "The only circumstance at present unfavora- ble to the trade of this country, is the anxiety we are in about the lee-ward islands. The French and Spanish fleets being arrived at Martinico, in which quarter our naval force (until lord Nelson's arrival) has been unable to cope with them; it has tended to raise the premiums here to a very high rate. 25 per cent. to return 10% for com- voy, was given on the Surinam and Demerara fleet, both on Friday and Saturday last, altho' it is said, by the last accounts, they were all safe at Surinam and Demerara. The Jamaica fleet is just arrived here, which is joyful news to the underwriters, and the prices of coffee and sugars are no less comfortable to the merchant and im-
porter. In order to furnish you with a more ge- neral idea of the quotations of the various ar- ticles here, a mere colonial price-current would do. "In the mean time, although trade is dull, we do not perceive any great symptoms of dif- ficulties in the commercial world; there are few or no bankruptcies of any consequence, which seems to indicate, that in general it is not the regular and decent expenses of life that ruin people, but overstrained and bad speculations, to which at present there is little or no temptation."
Captain Simmons who arrived at Boston on Saturday 31st ult. in 35 days from Gibraltar, informs, that an official and detailed account of the negotiation and peace with Tripoli, had been received at that place, and that he was promised a copy of the same by the American consul; but being ready for sea, and a favorable breeze springing up, he left the place without it. He however understood, that the terms were an ex- change of prisoners, and a gratuity from our go- vernment of 60,000 dollars.
Captain S. further informs, that Lord Nel- son had arrived at Gibraltar, without having heard any thing of the combined fleets from a- bout 4 days after leaving the West Indies—and immediately proceeded to Toulon bay to water; from whence he was to proceed in pursuit of the enemy, determined (as he said) to follow them while he had a vessel in a situation for the ser- vice.
IMPRESSIONS.—The brig Elizabeth, from N- way, [says the New-York Daily Ad- vertiser] was brought too yesterday morning at 4 o'clock, by the frigate Cambrian, and de- tained 6 hours. Nine passengers and five sea- men were impressed. Some of the passengers had endeavored to secrete themselves under the coals in the hold, but the lieutenant and his gang were too keen to be thus duped, and actu- ally pricked them out with the points of their swords.
It was currently reported in town, on Satur- day, that Mr. Bowdoin had not been accredited as minister of the United States to the court of Spain. On what authority the rumor was found, we know not; but it is certain that letters have been received here, by some recent arri- vals from Spain, stating that he would not pro- ceed to Madrid; but on the contrary, was actu- ally preparing to take his passage for England, with his family and suite. [Boston pap.]
From ROCHELLE. Captain Jarvis, arrived here on Friday, in 43 days, from Rochelle, informs, that soon after leaving port, and while passing off Rochefort, he met a French squadron, consisting of 7 sail of heavy ships, coming out of the Roads, who brought him to and ordered him into the Roads, under the custody of a gun brig; soon after he had come to anchor in the Roads, (the brig be- ing about to execute some order at Brittany pas- sage) the wind favored his escape, and he fail- ed. He could not ascertain the exact force of the squadron, nor their destination. [ibid]

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH, This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the state of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.  LUTHER MARTIN. Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper: he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of 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 unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of    Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesses,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluoribus (or whites)  Obstinate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.    In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD, A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsey, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c. W. WEATHERBURN. John Hoover, rope maker, South Second street, between Mary and Christian streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily 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, to 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
soild min 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, with out pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the least and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Terea or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia 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—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fecal 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—Excelsive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES— By Hamilton's WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived, but by one in a similar situation—his appetite vanished rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very 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 repletes 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 other disagreeable sensations, to often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
