MEMORIAL
ON THIS QUESTION—WRETHER IT BE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR FRANCE TO TAKE POSSESSION OF LOUI- SIANA?
“Presented to the French government by Mr. Livingston, the American mini- ster at Paris.”
TRANSLATED BY MR. NANGREDE.
THIS question presents itself in two points of view:—First in the relation of commerce and manufactures: Secondly, in those of the positive or relative force of France.
Colonies do not excite interest for their own sake, but only as respects the influ- ence they may have on a nation; and as one man alone is more useful by remain- ing at home, than two by removing at a distance, a wise nation does not seek to colonize, until she has a superabundance of population, which she cannot usefully employ in any other way.
Though very considerable the popula- tion of France is very far from having reached the term which renders colonies necessary: Her soil, climate and local situation give her, as a commercial and especially as a manufacturing nation, great advantages over all the nations of Europe. The spirit of invention, the taste and industry of its inhabitants, place her in the first rank. But those advan- tages are wonderfully abridged by the want of capitals sufficient to make use of them. A rival nation, greatly inferior in every one of these particulars, has, by the effect alone of an immense capital, obtained the superiority, not only in commerce, but also in manufactures; and these advantages, by increasing the national fortune, furnish it with the means of maintaining that very superiority.
Capitals increase the number of manu- factures, by the introduction of machines, by the regular payment of workmen, by the reduction of the interest of money and especially, by the possession of new markets.
None but rich individuals can under- take those slow and expensive specula- tions, which often give a superiority to a manufacture. A poor merchant cannot undertake long voyages, returns from which are slow; they are reserved for the wealthy; who can give credits long enough to tempt foreign nations to give his articles the preference over those of other nations, which expect a quick re- turn for their's. The want of capitals in France, is such, that no manufacturer has at his command a quantity of articles sufficient to answer the demands; and consequently no foreigner can be sure to obtain from his French correspondent wherewith to make his returns without retarding his vessel in port, or at least without being obliged to take a consider- able quantity of articles of inferior quali- ty, picked up in a number of different manufactories; so that if he commits any fraud, no one can be charged with it. This renders the character of a manufac- ture of very little importance in the eyes of a French workmen.
Hence when a foreign vessel, especial- ly if owned at a great distance, sells her cargo in France, she is ordered to take nothing but wines or brandies, because they are the only articles which the own- er is sure to procure in sufficient quanti- ties, in the fixed time.
In England, on the contrary, he will find all sorts of goods, in one hour, from one manufacture, the reputation of which would suffer, if the whole supply were not of the same quality with the sample.— This consideration will ever induce a for- eigner to apply to an English, in prefer- ence to a French merchant, for a purchase of goods of the same kind. Hence car- goes are sold in France, and the proceeds carried to England, there to be sold for articles which France might supply, if her manufactures were rich enough to answer every demand, in a short time, without compelling the purchaser to have recourse to a great number of manufac- tures.
This inconveniency can only be remov- ed by increasing the capitals of manufac- turers. It would be too great a deviati- on from my subject to point out the means of obtaining those capitals; but it is evi-
dent, that they must be considerably les- sened by the forming of a navy, at the ex- pence of manufactures, or by using the capitals of the nation in distant countries. It is beyond doubt, that capitals open new channels; for nothing is more natu- ral for merchants whose capital is small, than to content themselves with acting the part of brokers or commission merchants to those who can supply them with goods on credit; and for this very reason, En- gland lost nothing by the independence of America. Her immense capitals have created a monied dependence, which, in a commercial relation, replaced the supre- macy she had lost in the government— The increase of capital in America frees it in some degree from that dependency, and by furnishing her with the means of ex- tending her commerce, and even to offer capitals to other nations, which know how to calculate the value of the mar- kets which she offers to manufactures and to the luxury of Europe.
It will be readily granted, that colonies beyond the seas add nothing to the force of a nation; these are, on the contrary, weak points, which are guarded at a very great expence, both in men and money; especially if they be in hot and unhealthy climates.
The question, therefore, is reduced to this—Has France a superfluity of men and money great enough to justify the settling of a new colony?
Those which France already possesses in the West Indies and at Cayenne, are more than sufficient for her wants, and even the wants of all Europe, if they were cultivated so as to produce all they are capable of. But how are they to be cultivated! Experience has proved that the inhabitants of hot climates never work from want: Force alone can supply the two great spurs to labour in northern climates, hunger and cold, which nature has placed in those severe climates. Hence slavery alone can fertilize those colonies, and slaves cannot be procured but at a great expence.
The Spanish part of Hispaniola was al- most uncultivated for want of slaves. It is now possessed by France; and, to ren- der it of advantage, it will be necessary to lay out immense capitals in slaves, in build- ings, and in improvements of uncultivated lands. Others will be necessary to make up for the losses of the French part of that, not to mention the other islands. Where are those capitals to be found? Men who travel into distant and unhealthy climates are seldom wealthy. Those riches must therefore be found in France, it can only be, to a certain degree, at the expence of internal manufactures. It may, however, appear advantageous, in a national point of view, to encourage the use of the riches of France for that object; considering the extreme fertility of the French West Indies, and their present situation of cul- ture, those funds will soon yield a profit. But as long as money will command so high an interest; so long as the interior of the republic shall offer monied men a source of speculations, and property shall lie in so few hands, it will be difficult to induce the majority of them to dispossess themselves of this capital to send it at a distance, and run the risk of the inte- grity of their agents, and all those whom recent examples have taught them to dread.
Foreign coin was formerly introduced into France thro' the United Provinces; but the present state of the Batavian co- lonies, and the losses they have sustained by the war, leave but little hope, that much may be used in the restoring of the French colonies.
The United States possess considerable capitals in money, and productions neces- sary to the restoration of the islands. No great credit, in money, will probably be given to the planters; but with suitable encouragements, there is no doubt they will be able to obtain those productions which must, were it not for that circum- stance, be paid for in cash, and the com- mercial speculations of the United States will extend to the French islands, when the public and private credit of France shall have been restored, and when expe- rience shall have convinced the people how unwise it is to establish a revenue upon foreign trade, while it is in fact collected from their own citizens. At Hispaniola, a duty of 20 per cent is paid upon articles introduced by strangers. This duty is in fact paid by strangers, and it happens that fraud, and the bad administration of cus- tom houses, is, as usual, a source of vex- ation for foreign merchants. But it is the planter who furnishes the money, for this
tax is always added to the price, and ev- an interests is advanced upon it as a com- pensation for the vexations which the con- tains experience in their commerce. When then is the effect of that operation, if not to take from the planter one fourth part of the money which he had to much diffi- culty to get from France? Or otherwise to stop by that means, partly the re-estab- lishment of the capitals which alone can render the islands finally productive? say finally, for it is folly to believe that they will yield France a compensating for her actual outsets, unless it be after great many years. I will even say, that unless the ports of Hispaniola are open every vessel loaded with articles of neces- sity, unless the inhabitants have the right of buying cheap and selling dear, by en- couraging the rivalry between the seller and purchasers, unless every sort of vexa- tion is removed, and strangers receive ev- ery possible security for their capitals in the islands, ages will pass away before Hi- spaniola will cease draining France of its riches and strength without offering her any equivalent return.
It is, therefore, evident, that if France had no other possession beyond the seas, except her islands, it might easily employ all the capital of which she now can, and probably hereafter will be able to dispose in a long series of years.
But if to all this, we add the immense possessions in Guyanna, her productions, and the capitals necessary to carry the whole of it to its full value; if we add the settlements necessary to be made in India, if the design be to bring into the ports of France that variety of articles which invite exchange and give com- merce its due activity, we shall find that one century at least will pass away before France may want possessions of that kind.
But as France has like other countries, but a confined capital, the only question is, where shall this capital be placed? Shall it be here? in the West Indies? at Cay- enne? in India, or at Louisiana? For it is obvious that what will be placed in one of those settlements will be at the expence of another; it is equally so, that the na- tional expenditures will increase with her colonies; and that, in case of war, the points of attack and defence will be mul- tiplied in the same ratio.
(To be continued.)
Alexandria Advertiser.
MONDAY, JULY 11.
The sch't Ann Maria, Batchellor, of this port, has arrived at New York.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Adver- tiser.
SIR—It is with inexpressible regret I have observed, for some years back, the very great carelessness, and unthought- fulness of many of the heads of families in the town of Alexandria, who give them- selves the name of Christians, in having their offspring so long unbaptized. There are many children in town, who are grown up so that they are capable of attending school, and I myself know some who have their education nearly completed, to whom, as yet, this sacrament has not been administered. What will the parents of these have to say for themselves? They can certainly find no reasonable excuse for this very great neglect. It is out of their power, for one thing, to say, they have no opportunity, for this town is blessed with as many ordained ministers, and I hope they are ordained by the Almighty, as any town of its size in the U. States. If their pastors having some time ago had orders from the presbytery, not to wait on them at their houses to perform this duty, (which I am informed some of them have given for their reason) has been the cause of this neglect, that certainly can be no reasonable excuse: What, in the name of wonder, can hinder them from going with their children to church? Is it possible that they despise it—if I could, I am inclined to have a better op- inion of them. I am sure I should travel six, nay, ten hundred miles with my child (if I could get no opportunity nearer hand) rather than have him or her unbap- tized for three months, whereas there are some of them, who have delayed it for ten years, when the baptism might have been accomplished, perhaps, the very day of the child's birth. I assure you, Sir, the very thought of their unhappy state galls me more than I can express, and if you would be so very obliging, as to give this a place in your paper of Mon-

day, I am in hopes that the worthy gentleman who has the charge of them, (I mean the Rev. Dr. Muir) will enquire particularly into the situation of all their families, and as soon as possible supply the defect, which, when accomplished will be of great satisfaction to Sir, your obt. servt.

FOREIGN NEWS.
New York, July 8.
By the ship Diana, capt. Hunter, in 39 days from Newry, the editors of the New York Gazette have received Irish papers to the 28th of May. The London dates are to the 25th.
These papers contain nothing of a pacific nature. Nothing but war appears to be thought of; and the most warlike and active preparations are carried on both in France and England. Privateers have been fitted out and sailed from different ports in France. Several captures have been made of French vessels by the British cruisers. Orders have been sent by the English government to capture all Dutch vessels. The Batavian government is to be overrun by French troops; an army, it is said, of 80,000 men is immediately to possess it.
A convention has been signed between the courts of Russia and Sweden, by which the frontiers are, for the present, left in the same situation as before. Preparations for war were immediately put a stop to.
An interesting debate, took place in the British House of Lords, the 23d May, on the subject of his Majesty's message. An address to his Majesty was carried, approbatory of the measures adopted by him, and of their readiness, to "concur in the measures best calculated to call forth the spirit and resources of the British nation, in support of the honour and dignity of his Majesty's crown; the rights and liberties of the people, as well as every other consideration which can be dear to them, as a free and independent nation."

The French army in the neighbourhood of Nimeguen is stated to be daily augmenting. Great movements have been also observed among the Prussian troops in Westphalia.
The accounts from Italy repeat, that a French and Italian army is assembling on the frontiers of the Papal States.
An Envoy Extraordinary from the Landamman of Switzerland to the First Consul, has set out from thence for Paris.
M. Portalis, with his lady, left London for Paris yesterday morning, about half after 6 o'clock.
Apprehensions are entertained in Holland, of a war between the Bey of Tripoli and the Batavian Republic.
We learnt yesterday by the Dutch mail, that an embargo is laid upon the vessels of all nations in the port of Flushing.
The departure of Lord Whitworth was known at the Hague on the 25th, and occasioned the deepest consternation. The funds fell upwards of 5 per cent. French troops are pouring into Holland, which is menaced with the greatest distress, if not with total ruin.
Letters received at Genoa from Marseilles, announce, that a frigate sailed from Toulon, on board which was Commissary of Commercial Relations (or consul) who goes to reside at Cairo. The Commissary General of the Police for the same city has given notice by public advertisement, that it would be prudent for the present to suspend any commercial adventures destined for America, and to take suitable precaution in regard to such as might be intended for the neighbouring countries.
The military movements for the defence of the coast have already commenced.
Orders have been issued, to stop and send into British ports all Dutch vessels.
Thursday morning, at nine o'clock, came into Plymouth, the Vrow Constantia, Dutch ship, from Surinam to Amsterdam, with a valuable cargo of cotton, coffee, indigo, &c. detained pursuant to orders from government, and sent in there by the Doris, of thirty eight guns, Capt. Pierson.
An express arrived in town last night, stating, that Lord Nelson sailed yesterday forenoon from Portsmouth in the Victory, to take the command in the Mediterranean.
Lord Keith has arrived at Sheerness, and has hoisted his flag on board the Zealous.
Sir James Saumarez struck his flag on Thursday at Sheerness, and sailed in the Kite, Capt. Pison. He has received his commission of Commander in Chief on the Jersey and Guernsey station.
All the large Dover and Sandwich cutters are hired by Government, to be attached as cruisers to the different squadrons.
Our letters from Brighton state, that near 100 privateers have already sailed from the French ports of Cherbourg and St. Maloes.
By a gentleman who arrived yesterday at Helvoetsluys, we learn, that 2 French frigates lay off that port with their sails bent ready to put immediately to sea.
May 22—Evening.—Orders have been sent to India, both over land and by a vessel of war, announcing the renewal of hostilities, and conveying directions for the occupation of Pondicherry, &c.
Two French officers have lately made their appearance at Constantinople, and have excited considerable notice. They pretend to be charged with secret commissions, and promise to remain for a length of time in that city.
Letters from the Hague state, that the French troops in the Batavian Republic are to be augmented to 80,000 men, and that they are to be commanded by Gen. Victor. The English squadrons continue to cruise off the Texel and the Meuse, and will stop any ship coming in, or going out.
The Minister, it is reported, will on Friday announce his intention of contracting for a loan, not to exceed 12 millions. It is likewise said, that he will then give notice of a lottery, to consist of one hundred thousand tickets.
Yesterday consols fell about 3-4ths per cent.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability dated Trinidad 13th June, to his friend in Philadelphia.
"I am very sensible you will be much surprized, at the length of time your brig has unfortunately been detained here, which I do assure you, is equally as painful to me as it can be to yourself, the reason of which, I will relate as plain as I possibly can.

William Fullerton, and Samuel Hood, Esqrs. who were in joint commission, for executing the office of Governor for this Island and its dependencies, with our present Governor General Picton, and their opinions not exactly suiting General Picton in many circumstances, as they would not come into measures, which he thought consistent, and was wanted to carry on, either proper or not, I do not pretend to say, as it is very well known in a number of places and instances, that he was and is uncommonly severe, for his will has been our law, for a considerable period back, which you may judge, has been pretty arbitrary, and some have been benefited and others have suffered by it; from these circumstances, it is natural to suppose, it created party matters, which have gone to such a pitch, that they have quarrelled in such a degree, that Colonel Fullerton has quitted his family & the island for these six weeks past, and the other Commissioner Hood, left it in a similar manner, about a month ago, in consequence of his behaviour being very unbecoming the gentleman. General Picton now remains sole Governor, but it cannot be so long, for in the height of one of his rages, he wrote home to have his resignation accepted, of which since we have received accounts, has been accepted, and some other person appointed in his room. Since he has received this information it has almost distracted him, for it appears Colonel Fullerton is appointed sole Governor in his stead, which affects him so much, that he has absolutely refused to give up the reins to him, alleging that when he left the Island, he quitted it without leave, and that he considered Col.
Fullerton, had abdicated the government, and no longer considered him any thing until his majesty's pleasure was known. About four days ago Col. Fullerton, arrived from Barbadoes, and the moment it was known, the guards were doubled and all the regiments under orders, and General Picton, sent off a messenger, to signify to him, that if he made an attempt to come on shore, he must stand by the consequences, as loss of blood would most certainly ensue; thus matters are remaining, and Col. Fullerton is under the necessity of staying on board till the commander in chief Grainfield, arrives from Barbadoes, who is expected every moment to take the government from Picton by force, these unfortunate disputes have been of the most serious consequences to the inhabitants, for there is no law or justice in the place.
"It appears that every one who owes money takes advantage of the most unprecedented times. It is evident to all that a change will very soon take place and that English laws will be granted us, where every honest man will be enabled to receive his right—at the time of the brig's arrival these circumstances were so prejudicial that not a single collection either in money or sugar could possibly be made; if you wanted fugats, it was a difficult thing to obtain them, even with cash in hand. However impossible these matters of fact may appear to you, I do assure you candidly, these have operated very strongly against us both in sales and collecting, and further, every degree of confidence seems to be lost since these calamities have occurred."
Extract of a letter from Cape Francois, dated June 6.
"The government is at present at Port-au-Prince, where all the pleasure of the island is assembled, Balls, concerts, parties, follow in the train of Gen. Rochambeau. He makes his officers fight in the morning, dance in the evening, and then fight again: while Gen. Classel who commands here has repaired the church, causes high mass to be celebrated, accompanied by the military music; distributes to all present, cakes that have been blessed, and thus courts popularity under the assistance of religion! However different the means, they employ, their end is generally the same; to make their fortunes and return with all possible haste to France. Fortunes are here accumulated by every species of extortion; the inhabitants vexed, their houses in requisition their persons wantonly exposed on every occasion; a dishonorable commerce publicly carried on between the chiefs and the revolted negroes. The planters see daily enter the town, the produce of their habitations brought to the advanced posts, by the brigands, and there bought by the French commanders, who thus furnish to the slaves the means of continuing the war: and thus, that a few superior officers may enrich themselves, the colony is lost, France impoverished, and the inhabitants who returned with the most sanguine hopes of re-establishing their fortunes are on the point of seeking an asylum in another country, where they can employ their talents to procure themselves a subsistence.
Dont imagine that these are pictures coloured by my fancy: they are melancholy and shameless truths. The miserable soldier has no share in his pillage; but badly clothed, lodged and fed; victims of the heat, and the injustice of the Commissaries, who cheat them of their pay. They die by hundreds daily, like dogs, like flies, they disappear unaccountable, and of more than fifty thousand men who have arrived here within a year, there is not enough to guard the towns. Many of the garrisons have been evacuated and left the women and children to be slaughtered by the negroes, and it is only owing to the efforts of the inhabitants, that all the seaports are not in their possession. The present state of the colony is more desperate than it has been at any former period of the revolution; the negroes have learned the art of war, and cry, on all occasions, "Liberty or death." They offer to surrender, but on no conditions but that of freedom. A few days since 3 of them were caught setting fire to an habitation close by the Cape and burnt alive. All three tied to the same stake; one of them, as the flames began to arise, bent his head over them, and was instantly suffocated; another preserved the utmost calmness, and regarded the spectators with a countenance unmoved. Turning coldly to the third, who cried horribly; he said, "pauv bouche a toi—tu pas
connais moi." "Peace! Do you not know how to die." This was sublime. Greece, & Rome, has furnished nothing greater.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthmas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Ap- proaching 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. Atto- ney-General of the State of Maryland.
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 si- milar complaints have rendered medicine ne- cessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and trou- blesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing. On these accounts I do not hesitate to recom- mend 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 fe- vere 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 tes- timony 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 vari- ous complaints which result from dissipated plea- sures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in cli- mates unfavourable to the constitution—the im- moderate 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 unparalled in the cure of
Nervous disorders, Violent cramps in the Consumption, 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, Fluor albus, (or whites) Obligate gleets, Barrenness, Impotency, &c. &c.
In cases of extremity, where the long preva- lence 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 re- pair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EX- TRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheuma- tism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medi- cines 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 o- 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 treat- ment 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 fol- lows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was 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 re- duced to the melancholy apprehension of re- maining 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 Ha- milton'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 up- wards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints aris- ing from worms, and form obstructions or foul- ness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as op- erating with violence; on the contrary, a partic- ular excellence of this remedy is its being suit- ed to every age and constitution; contains no- thing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest in- fant 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 pro- duction 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 mild- est 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 chief- ly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to 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 ap- petite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fetid 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—Exces- sive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy coun- tenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symp- toms, should have immediate recourse to HA- MILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LO- ZENGES, which have been constantly attend- ed with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually pre- vent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thou- sands of the infant part of our cities. It is like- wise 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 authenti- city 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 af- flicted 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 ap- prehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was una- ble to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamil- ton'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. Ful- ler is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neigh- bours, 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 oper- ation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their partic- ular mildness is abundantly evident in innumera- ble cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOL- THER, minister of the Moravian church, in York town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recom- mended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procur- ed a box for the use of my family, to try, whe- ther by means of this medicine, I might be ena- bled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, dif- ferent 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 medi- cines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to an appearance a mere- mucus but upon close inspection quit repelled with very small living animals. No trace of that sort of worms which usually afflict children, came from him. Since that period he grew re- markably better in health, and though lean, has got a lively and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceed- ingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often oc- casioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main ob- ject, one of the most salutary means for restor- ing lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious sub- stance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
