REPUBLICAN FINANCE; OR A NEW WAY TO PAY OFF OLD DEBTS.
From the Wilmington Mirror. PUBLIC DEBT.
Unredeemed principal on the 1st of January, 1801, 80,161,207 60 Unredeemed principal on the 1st of January, 1802, 77,881,890 29 Treasury Department, Register's Office, Dec. 12, 1801, JOSEPH NOURSE, Register.
Thus it appears from the testimony of a federal legislature, that since Mr. Jefferson came into office, the national debt has been diminished 2,259,317 dolls. and 31 cents.
Whilst he has also relieved us from all odious oppressive internal taxation. Must not these facts diffuse a general joy over the country?
A federal secretary of the treasury, in a letter to the committee of ways and means, dated 22d of January, 1800, states that "the principal of the debt of the United States had increased since the establishment of the present government, the sum of 1,516,338 dolls. and 50 cents."
This, it will be remembered, was after twelve years of peace.
In less than one year, president Jefferson's wise and frugal measures have decreased it nearly three millions.
These things, fellow citizens, are worthy your attentive and serious consideration—they are
STUBBORN FACTS.
THIS piece has been transplanted into Smith's National Intelligencer, that copious fountain head of Jeffersonian misrepresentations. A few additional facts, which are quite as stubborn as the foregoing, remain to be annexed to the list. FACT FIRST. It is here said that, in the first twelve years of the federal government, fifteen hundred thousand dollars had been added to the public debt. But it will be remembered that these were not years of peace; but of almost perpetual war. The war with the North Western tribes broke out in 1790, and a peace was not signed until August 3d, 1795. This contest lasted for five years. It cost five or six millions. The United States bought a peace from the savages, by giving twenty thousand dollars worth of goods in hand; and by pledging themselves to pay nine thousand five hundred dollars worth of goods per annum, forever. It is long since the Algerine business had cost seven hundred thousand dollars; as has already been proved in this paper. Preparations for a French war cost several millions of dollars. The Western expedition cost thirteen hundred thousand dollars, or some such sum; and the hot water infa- rection of Northampton, eighty thousand. The French and British piracies deprived this country of many millions of im- post, that would otherwise have been poured in the federal treasury.
TWELVE YEARS OF PEACE! Smith might as well have said that we had twelve years of incessant rain, or twelve years of thunder and lightning, or twelve years of an earthquake! This single affir- mation, this audacious, this more than common falsehood, must of itself, be suffi- cient, with every man of candor, to ascer- tain the genuine character of the National Intelligencer, that favorite organ of presi- dential imposture.
FACT SECOND. This writer has grossly contradicted himself. In his paragraph, Citizen Stubborn Facts tells us that the national debt has been diminished by the sum of two millions two hundred and sixty thousand dollars. But, in his con- clusion, the reduction is mounted up to nearly three millions; when, by his own account, there is a deficiency of seven hundred and forty thousand dollars. Whenever Samuel Smith can prove that twenty two and an half make NEARLY thirty, then, and not till then, shall we believe that he is an editor of independence and veracity.
FACT THIRD. If Mr. Jefferson has paid off two or three millions of dollars of public debt, he did so with the money, which the preceding administration had col- lected in the treasury. To ascribe the merit of this discharge to him, is just as it
were to confound Napier, who discovered Logarithms, or Columbus, who discover- ed America, with the mathematician, or the mariner, who, at this day, makes use of their discoveries. If Adams had not saved that money, Jefferson could not have paid it off.
Men of Virginia! You have been too much accustomed to hear only one side of a question. We are not launching into an wholesale defence of John Adams; nor a pell mell reprobation of Jefferson. We barely tell you truths, which to receive credit, require only to be repeated. It was the not wise and frugal measures of Jeffer- son, which put it in his power to discharge this debt. The taxes, and the loan of five millions, had filled the treasury.
FACT FOURTH. As to the repeal of all odious internal taxation, the ramp duty and excise were bad enough. We are ex- tremely glad that they have been repealed. But as for the repeal of great part of a million of dollars of taxes, Mr. Jefferson should have rounded the system by repeal- ing the national debt; to which his Bri- tish convention has added the petty sum of SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS STERLING.
How is the principal of the public debt to be discharged, when you have repealed those very taxes which were found neces- sary for paying the interest of it? No wil- liness of words can drown the voice of this direct appeal to common sense. Smith says that, in twelve years of peace, only fifteen hundred thousand dollars of debt were paid off. If these had really been years of peace, as most assuredly they were not, then it would have been just so much the worse for Smith's arguments. If twelve years of peace, and of taxes, which were constantly growing more heavy, if all these could discharge only fifteen hundred thou- sand dollars, can any body believe that the remainder, that SEVENTY EIGHT MIL- LIONS, were ever to be cleared off; or that three millions could be discharged by the wisdom and economy of a single year? The thing is absurd.
We are surprised that the stock-holders do not take notice of this repeal; and ad- opt some effective measures to check its consequences. The first and most obvious measure would be to sound a reason- able alarm to the people. We are no fan- guine admirers of the national debt; of the manner in which it was contracted or of those heroes of stock jobbing, who grasped the greater part of it. But per- haps it is better that we should continue to pay the interest of a bloated swindling debt, than to break up the federal govern- ment, and then begin to break each others heads. If the subject could be correctly explained to the country, there is among us, a body of citizens abundantly power- ful for sending Mr. Jefferson home to forge nails, and to sow turnips, at Monti- cello. It is not here said that such a mea- sure should be embraced. We only say that it may possibly happen; and that, if we can be sure of finding a better man to fill his place, it ought to happen. We only say, that no part of his good fame can be reasonably founded upon this indis- criminate repeal of taxes; and this at the moment when he has been just adding six hundred thousand pounds sterling to the public debt. Two millions six hundred and sixty-six thousand dollars must be dis- charged immediately, by three annual in- stalments. This will afford a comprehen- sive field for the consumption of republican savings; although some of the internal taxes had still been exacted.
If the United States were to have a sudden misunderstanding with France, or England, a sum of money would instantly be wanted, to prepare for defence. In such a matter, five million of dollars would go but a short way; and where can you get them, either at eight or six- teen, or thirty per cent? No man will advance a shilling, till you can shew him taxes sufficient for disbursing the interest of the loan. This can only be done by once more imposing those taxes, which have been repealed. The confusion re- sulting from such a chasm would reduce public credit to the brink of destruction. This is the opinion of the vice president, as attested in some late newspapers. Mr. Burr appears to be right. The republi- cans boast that they have reduced the pub- lic expenses by three hundred thousand dollars more than the produce of all the taxes which have been repealed. Hence, they infer, that, in spite of the repeal, the government is richer and stronger than it formerly was to the amount of three hun- dred thousand dollars per annum.
You shall have it for. But then twenty
six hundred and sixty six thousand dollars have been subjoined to the national debt. For this sum, no previous provision had been made. It came not within any one of the estimates either of Hamilton, or Wolcott, or of Gallatin. It stands quite aloof and distinct from your seventy-eight millions of dollars of former debt. This sum at once anticipates and absorbs, for ten years to come, and upwards, all your boasted overplus of three hundred thou- sand dollars per annum. Money must be raised to pay these six hundred thousand pounds; an interest must be paid for that loan, while seven, or eight, or nine years of your annual republican over- plus, remains in the purses of the people.
It is said, indeed, that Gallatin is to vanquish this difficulty. He is to raise a monument of this talents as a financier, and of his sagacity as a political prophet. He is to discharge these six hundred thou- sand pounds sterling without a fresh loan, without putting a fresh tax upon the shoul- ders of the people. The newspapers report that he is to perform these wonders by sel- ling the government shares in the bank of the United States.
We cannot believe this report, for se- veral reasons. The scheme would be at once desperate and ridiculous. It would demonstrate a miserable extinction of re- sources. It would never approach to an accomplishment of the proposed end. Be- sides all this, it would produce various unhappy consequences. We beg your special attention. We are not going to load Mr. Gallatin with a bushel of nick names. We are not to discharge a volley of unattested affirmations, of which most people cannot tell whether to believe them or not. We are only going to state a few plain confessed facts, that will ascertain the wildness of such a scheme, and which make us believe that it cannot be in agi- tation, at this time.
The capital of the bank of the United States amounts to ten millions of dollars. Of this, government holds two millions. But before they could buy these shares, they were obliged to borrow two millions from that very bank in order to pay for them. During these twelve years, there- fore, they have been paying an interest of six per cent. for the two millions of dollars. They have been receiving at the same time, eight per cent. as partners in the firm. The interest came to an hundred and twenty thousand dollars, and the di- vidend to an hundred and sixty thousand. Thus government gained forty thousand dollars per annum. If these shares are to be sold, the bank will take care to be satis- fied, in the first place, for the loan of two millions. The discharge of so great a sum puts almost an end to the story. But even if five hundred thousand dollars can be gained by the sale, they are obtained much upon the same principle of an eight per cent loan. You sell a stock, which produces eight per cent. You sell it in or- der to discharge a debt, because you can- not borrow at six per cent. a sum sufficient to discharge it. At the same time, you display to the world the penult extinc- tion of your financial resources. You ex- pose government to the disrespect of the powers of Europe. You forfeit all in- fluence over the bank, a matter of serious importance. On this account we say that the proposal for selling these shares would be at once desperate and ridiculous. It would cast away character without ob- taining the object of the sacrifice. It would be like the prudence of a spend- thrift, who provides for his tavern bill by the sale of his plantation.
We have only newspaper authority for stating that the sale of these bank shares is at present in contemplation. Perhaps the constitution would not vindicate so strong a step. This indeed would be an obstacle of small importance. Both par- ties have separately, or collectively, broke that paper an hundred and fifty times over. Many scruples upon such a head cannot be expected from the President. Mr. Jeffer- son has told us "that the bank & the public funds are establishments invented with views of corruption; and to assimilate us to the British model in its corrupt parts."
We return to fact the fourth. The writer enquires if the repeal of these taxes must not diffuse a general joy over the coun- try? Time alone can prove what sort of foundation there is for such joy. Con- gress have past "an act to provide for the redemption of the whole public debt." Mr. Stratton affirms, & with every appear- ance of justice, that this act provides not for its redemption, but for its continuation. The abrupt repeal of so many taxes goes far
to provide for its continuation. On this point, we formerly passed a slight opinion. It seems to have harmonized with the public judgment, for the piece has been reprint- ed in at least twenty newspapers. By the way, when such a racket is made about economy, why have not congress reduced the stipend of the president to six thousand dollars; and why have they not directed him to pay rent for a house, which was built for his service, at a most exorbitant expence, and by an express breach of the constitution?

Extract of a letter from Newburyport, Au- gust 6th.
"The removal of Mr. Tyng is sens- ibly felt by all classes of people here, whe- ther friends to the former or present admin- istration.
"In the faithful discharge of the duties of his office, he has given the most com- plete satisfaction, induced a cheerful and punctual compliance with the requisites of government— not a cent of which has been lost since his collectorship, and possessing strict rectitude, with every praise worthy disposition, no man can be more universal- ly beloved and respected as a citizen. A remonstrance will be forwarded to the exe- cutive, which I hope will be effectual, be- ing parts and not inconsiderable aids to the support of our government, will I think, ensure a merited attention."
A correct and elegant writer, in the Portsmouth Oracle, calls upon the repub- lican federalists of New-England, to "ex- plain to their less informed neighbours the tendency of the late act of Congress—that while the taxes placed by the (federalists) on the luxuries of life, such as pleasure carriages, Refined Sugars, Whiskey, &c. are taken off; that those on the "neces- saries," such as Salt, Tea, Brown Sugar and Coffee, are continued and as high as ever. Let them reflect that these taxes were laid to support government, and pay off "THE WHOLE PUBLIC DEBT;" and that the common sense of the country has been insulted by the introduction & passing of a bill through congress, entitled, a bill to pay off the whole National Debt, while in fact it only empowered the secretary of the treasury, Mr. Gallatin, (a foreigner, Genevan, who fomented the Pennsylvania insurrection, and who was pardoned by general Washington) to negotiate, thro' expensive agencies, for the placing the debt in the hands of merchants and specu- lators, still to remain good against the U- nited States. That the independence of the Judiciary System, the third grand do- ric column of the federal dome, has been prostrated, and is at the mercy of the pre- dominating party, and no check is now left against their acts, however rash, and unconstitutional, but in the good sense, found morality and steady habits of our countrymen."

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Among the arts and sciences none is of more confessed importance to a commercial nation than that of navigation. Although both the theory and practice of this science have within the period of one century been carried to a degree of perfection which the human intellect could hardly be supposed capable of producing, yet there still remained particular problems for the ingenuity of the Mathematician to accomplish. The most important of these was tables having the latitude failed from, with the course and distance sailed which would give the ship's latitude & longitude by inspection, independent either of plain middle latitude or Mercator's sailing, and without any kind of calculation whatever. It is therefore with peculiar satisfaction that I inform the public Tables of this description are now constructing by Mr. George Faron teacher of Mathematics in New-York; which will also shew by inspection the exact bearing and distance of any two places whose latitudes and longitudes are known.
A FRIEND TO SCIENCE.
The following letter will doubtless receive an insertion in the several Newspapers in the United States. It was not without much regret we once saw the flander which is here meant to be destroyed, find its way to one of our most respectable public prints, from the Anti-Jacobin Review —a work of great literary merit, but in whatever relates to this country discovered with gross unjustifiable misrepresentation.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING POST. New-York, August 10, 1802. SIR, Finding that a story long since proposed under circumstances, which it was expected would soon consign it to oblivion, (and by which I have been compli-
mented at the expence of Generals Washington and La Fayette) has of late been revived and has acquired a degree of importance by being repeated in different publications as well in Europe as America—it becomes a duty to counteract its currency and influence by an explicit disavowal.
The story imports in substance, that General La Fayette, with the approbation and connivance of General Washington, ordered me, as the officer who was to command the attack on a British redoubt, in the course of the siege of York-Town, to put to death all those of the enemy who should happen to be taken in the redoubt; and that through motives of humanity I forbore to execute the order.
Positively and unequivocally I declare, that no such nor similar order, nor any intimation nor hint resembling it, was ever by me received or understood to have been given.
It is needless to enter into an explanation of some occurrences on the occasion alluded to, which may be conjectured to have given rise to the calumny. It is enough to say that they were entirely unconnected with any act of either of the Generals who have been accused.
With esteem, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A. HAMILTON.
Alexandria Advertiser.
Monday, August 16.
The following appears to me to be so striking a character of a neighbor of mine, that I cannot resist the propensity I have to give it a place in my paper.
The pliancy of democratic editors, and the facility with which they accommodate themselves to existing circumstances is most astonishing—But lately, there were no means however base and detestable which falsehood and detraction could suggest to a malignant heart, which were not called in to aid in the pious work of destroying the confidence of the people in our rulers. Of this the polluted columns of the Democratic papers furnish abundant evidence. Point out the individual who shared in the federal administration, and whose sentiments were accordant with it, however obscure his rank, who was not in some form or other, assailed by the foul breath of calumny. Who had the hardihood to pronounce, even immortal Washington, a Traitor and a Tyrant? To charge him with having perpetrated every crime which has ever blackened the annals of man or depravity? Credulity herself may be staggered, but it was the very men who now affect to make it a virtue to speak respectfully of rulers. Having succeeded by look and by crook , in getting into power the men who may delight to prosit them, they have become forthwith mighty sticklers for the sacred, the inviolable majesty of office.
One of this accommodating gentry, lately had the assurance, unblushingly! no, decency must have exacted the tribute of a blush , to offer as a proof of his republicanism, that he had a religious regard to that sacred injunction, "thou shalt not speak evil of the rulers of thy people." Are not our present rulers indebted to this very "evil speaking" for their elevation to office? Did not Mr. Jefferson, "the man of the people," the pure the virtuous Mr. Jefferson himself, pay one hundred dollars to one of these democratic editors for writing a libel on his competitor for office—a libel, for which Callender, the instrument of this detestable baseness, was sentenced by a court of justice, to make atonement by fine and imprisonment: The people cannot be at a loss for the motives of such men.
Poughkeepsie Journal.
EXECUTIVE CUNNING, or DIPLOMATIC DEXTERITY.
The prevailing party are well aware that the continuation of their power and influence depends altogether upon the continuation of the deception which brought them in. It is of great consequence that the governors of the different states should be of the right sort .
In Pennsylvania, the same person can be re-elected. Thomas McKean is the present governor. His powers are very great, and they are exercised to the utmost extent. He is of course a candidate for the election. He is obnoxious to every federalist, and almost to every man of decent manners. He is very disagreeable to many of the republicans. These two circumstances were about to produce an opposition
from General Muhlenburg. This gentleman's popularity among the Germans, his personal respectability, and excellent private character, made him extremely formidable to McKean. There remained but a single alternative, and that was to get clear of General Muhlenburg. This it seems is accomplished by the president of the U. States by obtaining from Mr. George Latimer the office of Collector of the Port of Philadelphia, and giving the appointment to general Muhlenburg—there is no other person among the republicans from whom McKean has any thing to fear. The election will then depend upon the numbers which the opposite parties can count. Senator Ross, one of the persons who was selected by Duane, as a proper subject for Aurora lies, is McKean's opponent. If Mr. Ross's conduct and character are as fair, and will bear as good an investigation in all other things as it has done in the case now alluded to, it is to be hoped that he may succeed.
The president has played another part of the same tune in Virginia. The constitutional term of Mr. Monroe will expire in a few months. It is of great importance to get a successor to suit the views of the president. A year ago it was thought that Mr. Giles could not be opposed by any body with the least prospect of success. The community were led astray by an ignis fatuus ; the people were deluded by designs, which they did not suspect, and were not prepared to expose. While Mr. Giles was a clamorous member of Congress, nothing extraordinary was feared from him. The probability of his being governor of this state has roused the dormant, the slumbering energies of honest and virtuous patriotism. Good men of both parties contemplate such an event with horror. They consider the responsibility of the state upon the totter. In this general temper of discontent which is extended to every federalist, and takes in a great many of the other party; the name of Mr. John Page has been mentioned as a candidate. There is an universal sentiment in favor of Mr. Page's election. Such is the excellent and amiable deportment of this virtuous, candid, upright man, that his election would be a great step towards healing the disturbances which have been produced by the factious. Every man who wishes to see facial harmony, instead of factious discord, looked to the election of Mr. Page with joy. But short and transitory has been this joy. The President has all at once discovered that Col. William Heth ought to be removed from his office of collector, and that Mr. Page ought to have it. If Mr. Page goes into that office, the president, no doubt, thinks that Mr. Giles is sure of being elected governor. It is not necessary at this place to say any thing concerning Col. Heth, except that there is not the shadow of complaint against him.
People of Virginia! members of assembly! Awake, arise, or be forever fallen! Do you mean to tolerate and give countenance to such bare faced imposture? Do you mean to stand by and see the man who you have delighted to honor, bartering away your best privileges that he may perpetuate his own ill-gotten power? Do you mean to see every thing which is valuable and desirable prostituted to the will, the humor, the ambition of a few intriguers? Do you mean to permit Mr. Jefferson to barter away the honors and advantages of his high office, to promote the particular interests of a few individuals? Do you mean to make William Brach Giles your chief magistrate? I answer involuntarily, surely this cannot, must not be. The power of Mr. Jefferson, considering the purposes to which it is used, is by far too great. To make Mr. Giles governor of Virginia, is in fact giving the office to Jefferson himself. BUCKSKIN.

TWENTY DOLLARS will be given as a reward by the subscribers, for securing JOHN CORRAN, an intended apprentice to the Book-printing business, who absconded last night the 10th inst. He is an Irish lad, 18 years of age, stout built, round shouldered, about 5 feet 4 inches high, jet black hair, brown eyes, face a little freckled. He has taken all his good clothing with him, in a bag on which is marked in black letters his name; as his clothing consisted of a variety, he will probably change the same often to prevent detection. He has been upwards of 2 years at the business, and it may be proper to remark, that as a compositor he was slow, awkward and incorrect, but in the capacity of press-man , he displayed much improvement in the art.
As he has in all respects been treated well, we solicit every printer, whether employer or journeyman, to assist in detecting him, for which the above reward will be paid with reasonable charges if brought home.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumptions.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is 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 breath, 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 favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's
GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—excesses in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obstinate gleet, 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 acutest 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 sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
D. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second-Street, between Mary and Christian-Street, 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 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 humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion. Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tænia or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tænia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with flimsy 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—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and interlaced pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the Reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town.
York, January 4th. 1802.
Dear Sir,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very ruffled 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 so all appearance a worm mucus, but upon close inspection quite reptile
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 substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
