ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th of October last, a negro man slave named
BOB,
about 20 years of age, five feet nine inches high straight limbed and well formed; said slave has an impediment in his speech which prevents his readily replying to a question. He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good cloathing, 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.
Captains of vessels, &c. are forewarned at their peril, not to take him away.

Clatworthy Stephenson. Feb. 6. dls
From the Charleston Courier.
Mr. Editor —Walking through the street, I happened to cast my eye on a piece of paper, which lay on the ground; I took it up, and found it so curious that I thought it might be worth offering to you. If you please, you may put it under your Charleston Head. It is evidently an imitation of the style of Sterne. Z.
Never before did I see such a whimsical compound of various expression as his face; never such a whimsical display of intestine commotion, and inward struggles between hostile passions, as his actions; his words did justice to both.
It was not a countenance of ill nature or misanthropy; but one which displayed peevishness in spite of nature. There was a fret in it—a frown—a formidable grin at times—and at times those were embellished by a laugh, one note of which would have brought gall and vinegar, and all the bitters and acids in a chemical dictionary at once to the dullest mind. Yet (I am a physiognomist) the Devil himself, if he had got a day's possession of the body, could not have twisted the tout ensemble of the face from the mastery of a benignant heart, which all his frowns, and frets, and grins could not deter from peeping out occasionally through his mouth and eyes. In the vertiginous whim of my fancy, I thought I saw (as if in a dream) the words " amiable ," " sociable ," printed in legible characters in the furrows of his weather beaten physiognomy. An old fashioned three cocked hat, and a pig-tail wig, gave a finishing stroke to the picture.
He rose from a log of wood on which he was seated, when his voice first drew my attention; as he rose he laughed—"Ha, ha, ha!—Ay, Ay! Ay, Ay, to be sure! to be sure!" said he in a tone of spite. He paused as if reflecting—made a flourish in the air with his cane, sighed, and continued—"What care I?—No, curse me," (thumping his cane with firmness on the ground) "curse me if I care, if the whole human race were reduced to the state of yahoos and ridden by Houyhnhms." Again he paused—"And by Heaven they are not far from it." "By and by they will be worse; they will be yahoos soon, they will—they must—and they will be rode, not by horses but asses, apes or baboons. So much the better—I shall like it."
I endeavoured to catch his eye, but he evaded me—I walked on—he drew back to his log of wood and sat down again—my curiosity was too much for me—I hastened round the next corner, came about a large store, got behind him under shelter of a heap of timber—and for the first time sacrificed my honour to my humour. I became an eves-dropper, and listened—"Democracy! (he exclaimed) Democracy! Teezebub stuff them up to the throat, ay, and the throat itself to the very lips with it, if the world has not had already a heavy meal of Democracy. Brutes! absurd! fie, fie, out upon it, out upon it. Democracy indeed with a devil to it!"
I perceived that he was a politician—an enthusiast, and probably cracked in the brain. Political madness being epidemical, it was evident from his words that he was a subject likely to catch it. He proceeded, as Shakespeare calls it, by snatchings—
"A complete exclusion of wisdom, of principle, of consistency!
"It presupposes a whole people conversant with government—which is impossible.
"A whole people rational, and learned in the human heart—which is impossible.
"A whole people attached to their country—Patriots in short—Hah, hah, hah, (sardonically) how few patriots are found even among the best.—All patriots!—All baboons!
"A whole people deliberative—a whole people honest! a whole people—Madness!
"That a whole people can think!—how few think?—Ask the first twenty husbands, or wives you meet, the history of their domestic concerns will tell you.
"A people reflect! distinguish! combine! compare! Poo, poo—can they?—Ask the diligent students of the closet, who sit up at night at the drudgery of the mind, till the exhausted candle-wick twinks in the socket, and they will tell you how few can. —Can a people then?—Fulsome.
"Well then, what's to be done? When power is obtained, those who have got it will hold it fast, mount upon the yahoos, and like beggars ride to the Devil.—Worse again? Those rough riders of the human race should be themselves bitted, cavasoned, and bridled in—(starting) and take the bridle out of every other mouth' Ha? —Well let the poor overgrown children
run into the fire—or into the mire—rather than restrain them, or abridge their liberty!—This also is a great evil under the sun."
He made a longer pause than usual, took out his snuff box—regaled his nose with a pinch—tapped the lid with his finger—then returning it into his pocket, said with a kind of half groan—
"Then what's to be done?—What shall be said?"—
After a minute's consideration he started up and exclaimed, as if in a pet with some suggestion of his own—"No, no! No, no! that won't do—what seven or eight millions of clod-pated HODGES and MADGES , and ROGERS and SIMKINS let loose in the shape of political tygers, to prey upon the accumulated wisdom and virtue and property of six or seven centuries in that glorious island (it was evident he spoke of England)—Clumsy farmers, illiterate mechanics and manufacturers, pin-makers, needle-makers, button-makers and tinkers—all at once heaven-born politicians , sitting in divan upon the intricate affairs of Europe. Ridiculous, (cried he) ridiculous—ay and pediculous. Horrible! abominable!
He cooled—reflected again—sighed, and struck his bosom with his hand, as if in self-reproach, for what he had uttered. Then looking up to the sky, with his hands clasped, said in a deep grave tone of devotion, "God, thou knowest my thoughts!—do I sin when I swear that I would rather live—I and mine who propose to worship thee—in the monarchy of France—were not Bonaparte the monarch. Wretched, wretched fellow beings, how industriously do you work at forging fetters for yourselves—like birds in a net, lacerating your wings & encrushing yourselves worse with ineffectual efforts to fly into freedom. Souls and brains of pancakes and fritters, who know what government is, just as much as a cow of cleaning a watch, have done. None of your new rangles and fancies from the pigeon holes of Abbe Sieyes—or like the French you will get into the trap of another Bonaparte—and then——" Here I could not refrain from bursting out in a fit of laughter—he was startled, rose and walked off, and I never saw any more of him.
From the Petersburg Intelligencer.
BELFIELD, January 11.
Messrs. Dickson & Pescud,
By inserting in your useful paper the following particulars of a most tremendous wound of the head, you will gratify many of your readers, and oblige your humble servant,
WILLIAM STOKES.
N. B. The facts can be substantiated by a number of respectable persons.
On the 18 th of September last, a race rider, by the name of Isaac, about 14 years of age, belonging to major Thomas Cooke, in exercising a fleet race nag, was run by her (being in full speed) against an apple-tree. The stub of a limb that had been lopped off broke his skull, and penetrated the dura and pia maters; and so great was the violence of the stroke, that a part of the brain (the cerebrum) to about the quantity of a spoonful, flew out, and lodged on a limb 18 or 20 inches from the stub that entered the cranium. He was quite insensible; his breathing was rather oppressed and stertorous. In a short time after the accident, he discharged the contents of his stomach, apparently mixed with blood.
I was called on in the afternoon, and removed a sufficient quantity of the scalp, to give a fair view of the injury. It appeared that the snag had penetrated the brain about the superior part of the frontal bone, where it is united by the coronal suture to the parietal bones, and a little to the right sides of the longitudinal sinus. There were two splits or fissures in the os frontis extending downwards towards the right eye, and two portions of the bone were considerably elevated above their natural situation, and remain so at present. From this perforation of the skull and brain, the fracture extended backwards along the course of, and on each side of the sagittal suture for about 4 or 5 inches attended with a considerable depression of three or four inches in width, and principally on the right parietal bone. The trephine was applied on the superior part of the left parietal bone, which was an advantageous position for elevating the depressed portions of bone, many of which, on being raised, entirely separated and were removed.
About 36 hours after he was again trepaned on the right parietal near the upper part of the temporal bone, to remove or elevate a sharp piece of bone, that was discovered to be sticking into the dura mater: Some extravasated blood was found lodged on the dura mater, where the skull was per-
forated. His reason returned. On the 20 th , of Dr. Robert Walker, brain (cerebrum) of the egg, or thereabouts, was found, but was soon discovered of similar size, which was main, and was in a few days a new membrane, that in to its proper level. There was considerable contusion on the posterior of the occipital bone, occasioned by the fall, that he stooped his head was a crucial incision being made scalp at this place, a large quantity of grumous blood was discovered, fracture. Simple light dressing, derate bleedings, some laxative m. with a strict anti-phlogistic regime all that was found necessary. He was attacked with symptoms of the lo which were easily removed by an
The cure proceeded favourably, there were several small exsoliations. In three months there was a complete recovery from a loss of brain, bone, and scalp, of extent and magnitude rarely equalled in this or any other country.
His intellectual faculties are not at all impaired. It becomes me to remark that this prodigious and happy event was signally facilitated by the humane, judicious and unremitting attention of Mrs. Cooke.
LONDON, November 25.
The naval force of the enemy, in the harbor of Brest, including the ships in the inner road, is said to amount to 19 sail of different descriptions not more than nine or ten of which we believe, are of the line, besides which there are several transports, about 70 gun boats, and a number of what are called cannoniers, carrying two guns, and calculated for the conveyance of about 100 men each. They are stated to be all full of troops; and the number embarked and encamped in the neighbourhood, are computed at no less than 120,000 men. These statements in all probability greatly exaggerate the facts, but be this as it may, there is no doubt of Brest being the point in which the greatest exertions of the enemy have been made.
There are building at Boulogne, floating batteries 10 carry 90 guns each, and three very large cables have been conveyed for these vessels, from Dunkirk. The cables are 27 inches thick and weigh above 7 tons each.
November 28.
Four ships of the line have been ordered to proceed with all possible dispatch to join Lord Nelson's squadron off Toulon. It is believed that the French while they keep threatening our own coasts, actually meditate another expedition to Egypt. If they should set out, it is to be hoped they will not be fortunate enough as on the last occasion, to reach that country without our fleet being able to fall in with them on the passage.
Some dispatches from the first consul to gen. Rochambeau, who commands the remnant of the French force in St. Domingo, has been lately intercepted by one of our cruisers. In these dispatches Buonaparte is said to have informed Gen. Rochambeau that the French treasury is quite inadequate to "furnish him with any other pecuniary supplies, and that he must therefore endeavour to provide for his army in the colony it was appointed to defend."
The mode of raising such provision was pointed out to the General; and the advice contained in the dispatch was that in order to prevent "noisy complaints," or "troublesome claims," at a future period, to any property he might think it necessary to appropriate, he should take care to have the proprietors " set aside ; that is, sequestered !" The atrocities of former Tyrants, had before this Master Monster.
Much has been said in the papers for several days, of misunderstandings existing between the British and American governments, respecting the interpretation of certain articles of the treaty of 1794. That explanations on the subject have taken place we know, but confidently state, that no misunderstanding whatever is likely to take place on the subject. No two countries, in the world, at this moment, feel a more natural inclination to remain at peace with each other than Great Britain and America. In regard to the revision of the above treaty, which is now on foot, we trust we shall very shortly be enabled to give the most satisfactory information.

This alteration was ordered to be printed, and was re- ferred to a Committee of the Whole on Tuesday last. On Thursday last a Committee was appointed to prepare a bill for electing Electors of President and Vice President of the United States by the People; also one to prepare a bill for electing Representatives to the next Congress. Both Committees were instructed to form bills for general elections.
Brig Ohio, Carlson, from Philadelphia, arrived at Canton, after a passage of 105 days. Off the Ladrone Islands, fell in with and engaged five piratical Chinese junks, carrying one heavy gun each and ship-rigged, after a severe action of two hours beat them off—the sails and rigging of the Ohio received considerable damage.
True Amer. La Revolutionnaire frigate, Capt. Lock sailed from Kingston on the 3d Jan. with a mail for Great Britain. She carries home Gen. Rocham- beau and his suite. The British naval force on the Jamaica stati- on the 1st Jan. was 4 of 74 guns, 2 of 40, 3 of 32, 2 of 24, 7 of 18, 3 of 16, 1 of 12 and 1 of 10.
On the 4th of January, the Aulus frigate, Capt. Evans, arrived at Port Royal, from a cruise, with a Spanish sloop of war, which she took in with off the coast of St. Domingo. On arriving a shot a head to bring her to the sloop of war returned a broad side, when an engagement commenced which lasted about four hours.— Several men were unfortunately killed, and wounded on board the Aulus; the latter on board the Spanish is, we are informed 36. The mizen and foremast of the Aulus were also shot away, and considerable inju- ry done to the mainmast. After undergoing a repair, it is supposed she will be permitted to proceed to La Vera Cruz, for which port and the Havana she was bound with dispatches from Canton, whence she failed in November last.
The dispatches were thrown overboard, previ- ously to her colors being struck. (N. Y. Pap.)
The Fury, Peter W. Marrener, master. ORIGINAL OPINION. Sir William Scott is requested to peruse the papers herewith left, and as it appears from the examination of the master, and owner to the first interrogatory, that he lives in Curacao, and has there resided for the last seven years, when on shore, and to the fourth, that his wife and family resided at Curacao, and as the ship was captured in a voyage from Curacao to St. Domingo and from thence to Philadelphia, to advise whether, notwithstanding his being in a command of a ship under the American flag, the said master is not to be considered as a Dutch subject in respect to the transaction in question, and his property as liable to confiscation as having been engaged in an illegal trade?
If Sir William Scott, should be of opinion that captain Marrener is competent to claim, he will then please to refer to the evidence of William Merry, the third mate, to the fourth and twelfth interrogatory, to the answer of Paul Bentremere, to the sixth and sixteenth interrogatory, and to give his opinion whether admitting the attesta- tion made by the said Bentremere at Philadelphia, and the explanation otherwise given in the pa- pers herewith left, can be introduced into the cause, there is a reasonable prospect of success in the appeal.
Opinion. "This appears to me to be a ha- zardous case to be proceeded in. There are many circumstances that throw a very strong suspicion on the case on the part of the claimant.— His own protest is a document so inconsiderably expressed as to furnish no inconsiderable argu- ment against the fairness of the claim. I can not bring myself to think upon the evidence here stated, that the claimant can rely with confi- dence on the reversal of the sentence." WILLIAM SCOTT.

Messrs. Yundt and Brown. As we have heard so much about economy and of the wisdom dis- played by our present rulers in the late treaty with citizen Bonaparte, whereby we have ac- quired "the extensive and fertile province of Louisiana by a fair and honest purchase, for a consideration which will bear no proportion with the millions that must have been expend- ed in taking an unjust possession by force"—I have sent you an extract of a letter from a gentleman in England, who has good oppor- tunities of obtaining correct information, (and a relation of Mr. Jefferson) whereby it will appear, that we have not made so fine a bar- gain as some persons with us to believe. IMPARTIAL.
From a gentleman in Bristol to his friend in this City.
"Bristol, Oct 14, 1803. "The situation of this country is known to the world. We are in momentary expectation of an attack from a most implacable enemy, that looks on this nation as the only impediment in his way to universal sovereignty over not only Europe but America too; notwithstanding you chose to receive Louisiana from his hands and not ours, when we offered your ambassador to put you in possession, for which you have since oblig- ed yourselves to pay so much money; and, what is worse, for which your mean spirited and wick- ed ambassador at Paris, consented to be the tool of Talleyrand's inductive against this nation. "But as we are in the hands of God, (if our national sins have not so provoked Him as to renounce and give us up) we do not fear any earthly enemy."
The force of habit and the extreme danger of fixing any bad habit, particularly that of Drunk- edness , may be aptly illustrated by moralizing the following piece of natural history:— "On the coast of Norway is a dreadful whirl- pool, called by the natives Maelstrom , which signifies the naval of the sea. The body of the water which form this whirlpool is extended in a circle above 13 miles in circumference. In the midst of this stands a rock against which the tide, in its ebb, is dashed with inconceivable fu- ry; when it instantly swallowed up all things which came within the sphere of its violence. "No skill in the mariner, nor strength of rowing, can work an escape. The sailor at the helm finds the ship at first go in a current rent opposite to his intention; it goes round in circles, still narrower and narrower till at last it is dashed against the rock and entirely disap- pears."
And thus it fares with the hapless youth that falls under the power of any vicious habit. At first he indulges with caution and timidity, and struggles against the stream of vicious inclina- tions. But every relapse carries him further down the current, (the violence of which increas- es) and brings him still nearer to the fatal rock in the midst of the whirlpool; till, at length, stupefied and subdued, he yields without a strug- gle, and makes shipwreck of conscience, of interest, of reputation, and of every thing that is dear and valuable in the human character. It should also be observed, on the other hand that, good habits are powerful as well as bad ones; therefore no better advice can be given to youth than the following:— Choose the most rational and best way of living, and habit will soon make it most agreeable. " (Newburyport Herald.)
We learn by a letter from Washington, that a duel was lately fought at Savannah, (Geo.) by the Hon. John Rutledge, late of Congress, and Doctor Centre, of Rhode Island. The doctor fell the first fire, having one of his legs broken, and the other badly wounded. His broken leg has since been amputated, and his recovery is con- sidered as very doubtful. Mr. Rutledge received no material injury—the ball passed through his coat, and merely grazed his back. (New York paper.)
PRICE CURRENT, Liverpool, November 26. Pearl Ashes, 1st quality 37 a 40; Pot- do. 36 a 38, the former are plentiful, and the prices on the decline; but the latter seem likely to support the prices quoted. The stocks of bow-d Geor- gias and Natchez cotton have now become very moderate and are in good demand; but as the spinning of fine twist is almost at a stand, Sea-Island and other fine cottons have declined in price, and the demand for them become very flat. Tur 20 a 20s6, Pitch, 10s6 a 11s3; Turpentine, 15s9 a 2s4; Rosin, 14 a 15s6; the demand of these articles is pre- tty steady, and there is no appearance of any material alteration in prices. Flour, superfine, 33 a 36; the demand for flour has rather increased for the last month, as the arrivals have been very scanty. To- bacco, dull sale; Sugars, Musco, brown, 34 a 40, middling 42 a 46, good 47 a 50, fine 52 a 54; Havana, brown, 40 a 46, yellow, 48 a 56; white 66 a 68; Coffee, middling 124 a 125, fine 140 a 142; Pi- mento, 8 a 9s; these prices are considered as merely nominal, the season for shipping being nearly at an end, and the demand of course not likely to be revived until spring. Our stocks of sugar and coffee are very smart, we therefore consider the prospects for next spring, as rather encouraging than otherwise, and should no unforeseen poli- tical event interfere, we are of opinion the demand will revive as early in the spring season as the weather will admit, at prices fully equal to those we have quoted.

The general in chief Dessalines, in giving his assurance of protection to the inhabi- tants who may remain in the country, reclaim- ed by the justice of general Rochambeau, shall be maintained in the enjoyment of the liberties and honors of the country, let their color be what it may, and shall on no pretext be forced to em- bark with the French army.  Art. 7. The troops of the two armies shall maintain their respective positions until the day fixed for the evacuation of the Cape.  Art. 8. For the faithful performance of the present convention, the general in chief Rocham- beau, shall deliver as a hostage the adjutant commandant Urban Debeaux, and the general in chief Dessalines, shall give as an hostage on his part an officer of the same rank.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy in Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Croup, 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 so safe to take, 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 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 forensels and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Healy, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper. He has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from diffipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—excessive use of tea, frequent immoderation, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lying in, &c. &c. &c. And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Nervous disorders, Violent cramps in the stomach and back,  Consumption, Indigestion,  Lowness of spirits, Melancholy,  Loss of appetite, Gout in the stomach,  Impurity of the blood, Pains in the limbs,  Hysterical affections, Relaxations,  Inward weakness, Involuntary emissions,  Stimulus weakness, Obstinate gleet,  Fluoribus, (or whites) Impotency, &c. &c.  Bartunels. 
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 worm, &c. and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named Goutica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c. P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Carillian 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 attending 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 remedial 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 form obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms which by they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tænia or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm. To be 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 feet—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—gnawing and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard stools—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance and sometimes the face bloated and flushed. Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—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 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away a part 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 in length. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the Reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church in Yorktown.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repleat with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually infest 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 (resolute), and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the 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.
