PROSPECTUS OF A PAPER
TO BE PRINTED IN ALEXANDRIA,
ENTITLED,
THE COLUMBIAN.
THE Subscriber, anxious to establish a Paper whose contents and principles shall be satisfactory to the moderate of both parties, presents to his friends and the liberal public in general, the following outlines of his plan, hoping that they may be consonant to feelings warm in the defence of liberty and the true interests of the country.
The work will at all times be open to the discussion of political matters, destitute of rancor on the one hand, or overweening partiality on the other. The Editor's selections shall be made with care and attention, never sacrificing for any purpose the real interest of the community, or wandering from the established standard of truth.
In the natural course of affairs, it will sometimes be necessary, from a want of political matter, that the columns of a paper should be supplied with moral disquisitions, practically useful and interesting, and instructive anecdotes from historic research. Nor can this course be well objected to by those whose feelings are alive to the cause of genuine morality and religion. The Editor calculates with confidence upon receiving from those whose education and means of information will authorize it, a copious supply of materials on these subjects. His paper will be at all times open to receive the reflections of the man of science, or the deep research of the critical scholar.
Communications upon all matters, touching Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures, together with plans for the general improvement in Canals, public Roads, and the various discoveries in any branch of learning or the mechanic arts, will be particularly sought after, and punctually inserted.
The editor, earnestly desirous to conciliate parties, will use his most strenuous endeavors to effect so desirable an object—and in the town of Alexandria, where he is attached by the strongest ties of nature, and of interest, he will ever consider it as a primary object, to destroy those seeds of dissention which have had the tendency to retard the growth and prosperity of the town. It is obvious to the most superficial observer, that the minutiae of politics cause a difference of sentiment, and not those general and universally admired maxims in governmental institutions.
The principles of the great and illustrious Washington, together with his services, shall ever be revered.
The editor is far from desiring to impose on the minds of those who may favor him with their patronage, that his mind has assumed no stand on the important subject of politics, nor on the contrary, he unequivocally declares, that his sentiments are decidedly republican.
As soon as 400 subscribers shall be obtained this paper will be printed, weekly, at 2 3/4 cents per ann. payable, half yearly, in advance, after the receipt of the first number. It will be printed with a neat type, and on good paper of the ordinary size.
If adequate encouragement should be offered, after the commencement of the paper, it will be published three times a week.
Having made arrangements for the necessary materials, and contracted with a gentleman of abilities to assist in the execution of the work, the citizens of Alexandria will be immediately waited on for their patronage—Subscription papers will also be left at the Coffee House and at the principal Book Stores,
T. Longden.

EMBARGO EFFECTS.
It is now about six months since the Embargo was laid. We have been told that this period of time would be sufficient to bring the nations of Europe to their right senses—that after a lapse of six months they would yield to our claims, and the object of the embargo be accomplished.
What is the complexion of our last accounts from Europe? Does our information from that quarter indicate a disposition either in France or Great Britain to yield to our wishes?
From England we are informed there appears no disposition to relax even her orders of Council, much less to give up her pretensions to her seamen who may be found navigating our merchantmen; nor does any thing look like her acceding to the principle that free ships shall make free goods ; in other words, that neutral flags shall be permitted to cover her enemy's property . And further, what renders the prospect of her being brought to these terms less promising, is, that her stock of breadcorn is such that very little or no advance in the price is said to have taken place, nor is any expected, unless the exportation of that article to supply her West India colonies, now cut off from intercourse with this country, should produce a rise.
From France we are informed that the emperor has confiscated the American property at Hamburg and ordered it to Paris, without even a trial; he has made no relaxation in his Berlin and Milan decrees; and further, has even refused permission to the dispatch vessels of our government, sent out last winter, to touch at a French port on her return from England.
From these two great powers there is therefore nothing at present to warrant the expectation that our embargo has, as yet, seriously affected them; although in some particulars both undoubtedly have experienced evils and inconveniences from it.
From the West India islands, we learn the embargo is seriously felt. Flour at Jamaica and other British Islands, has risen to 25 & 30 dollars, and other provisions in proportion. In the French Islands, the pressure is still more serious, as might have been expected, from the British having the command of the seas. Flour at Martinique and Guadalupe is at the enormous price of 60 dollars the barrel, and other provisions equally high. The Spanish Territories bordering on our southern frontier, are stated also to be in extreme want of the necessaries of life.
Thus far we have the effects of the embargo for six months. Its pressure upon the West Indies is most severe. Upon Europe it does not appear that its effects are very commanding.
We must not be surprised if the continuance of the embargo does not raise the price of provisions in the British West Indies much above the present standard; nay, we must not be surprised, if a reduction of these prices should soon take place. England has the command of the ocean; supplies can be sent from the mother country; from her Canadian possessions, and from the pressure of the times, the planters will be obliged to resort to the cultivation of such of the necessaries of life as their lands will produce, and every source of sustenance will be explored and resorted to.
The French Islands, being almost totally cut off from the mother country by the supremacy of the British navy, must experience the greatest distress from the embargo. Yet it is not certain that even these islands, though totally cut off from the rest of the world, are incapable of sustaining their present population. We know that when first discovered by the European adventurers, they were thickly inhabited with Indians, who drew their subsistence from the soil, and although the present possessors would doubtless suffer great hardships, in changing their accustomed food for that which the islands may afford, yet probably, they may subsist as the black population at times often has, within these ten or fifteen years past, in their revolutions and struggles.
The object of the embargo, when first recommended by the president, was by him declared to be "the preservation of our vessels and seamen from capture by foreign nations." But something further than this soon appeared to be had in view by our rulers. It was an EXPERIMENT —an experiment to ascertain whether the world could, or could not, do without us. Acts in addition to acts followed, till not only our ships were prohibited the ocean, but our produce—our beef, pork, fish, grain and lumber, and every other species of produce were prohibited exportation by
land as well as by sea. Had the preservation of our ships and seamen been the only object in view, foreign vessels might have been permitted, as heretofore, to come to our ports and purchase our produce; and, with this admission, the preservation of our ships and sailors, would have been as completely effected as now, when both our produce and our ships are locked up in our own territory. The object, however, being to ascertain as before observed, whether the world, especially Great Britain, could live without us, this would not do, and so a general non-intercourse plan was adopted, so far as it respected the selling of our own produce to foreigners, and the sailing of our own vessels to foreign ports.
The GRAND EXPERIMENT has now been in operation about half a year. Whether it is a wise or unwise scheme time will determine. From what we hear from Europe it seems it has not yet produced the effect its projectors calculated upon, and how much longer the experiment must be continued in order to give it a full and fair chance of success, seems to be quite doubtful. If, however, it will not do in six months, perhaps it may in twelve; if not in one year, may be in two it will succeed; and if not in two, still there is a chance in three, four, or a greater length of time. As great national projects, it is to be presumed, are not lightly adopted, nor attempted without mature deliberation and serious investigation of all their bearings consequences and results, so it is to be presumed they will not be lightly abandoned upon every rising discouragement, as this would not only indicate weakness in our rulers, but evince an instability of character, incapable even of carrying their own projects into effect.
One circumstance attends our present situation, by which it seems, that although our rulers might have calculated that the world could not do without us, yet they did not much expect we could do without the world. Accordingly the door for the importation of foreign goods, in foreign vessels, was left open. Foreign vessels are permitted to bring in foreign produce and manufactures, but not to receive our produce or manufactures in payment. The exportation of money not being prohibited these foreigners are reduced by the wise embargo system to the hard necessity of taking off our gold and silver, or going without their pay. Too much money is certainly an evil in any country, therefore, the greatest simplicity in the community cannot dispense the wisdom of those rulers who duly provide proper drains for the purpose of taking off the surplus cash of the people; and some suppose that should the present embargo, or non-selling and all buying system, continue but a few years longer, there will be no just cause of complaint that we are over-burthened, as now, with gold and silver money!
After all our vexations and losses by this embargo experiment, it would really be mortifying should it so turn out as to injure ourselves as much as it does others—should it prove advantageous to the British commerce by withdrawing ours from the ocean—should it encourage the agriculture and fisheries of their American possessions, by giving them the monopoly of the West India market—should it throw into their hands the carrying trade of the world, now that we have abandoned it—should those 50 or 60 thousand seamen, lately employed in our vessels, who must now elsewhere seek their bread; and should it finally drain us of our gold and silver to pay for their produce, while ours must either be consumed by ourselves or rot on our hands. Should these unfortunate circumstances grow out of this grand experiment—this "strong measure" of embargo and non-intercourse, alas, our country, when would it regain its late commercial prosperity and retrieve the severe losses it has sustained.
From the NORTH AMERICAN.
Liberty of the Seas.
IT is a trite observation, that the liberties of a country are never in greater danger than when the plot against them is carried on under the disguise of a friendship for the people. It was owing less to the immense physical strength of France, than to the dexterous and deceitful use she made of this principle, that she became so powerful by the accessions of other smaller portions of strength, as to overawe and control the greater nations. In the early part of the revolution, she preached through every organ of communication, the rights of the oppressed against the oppressor; until, by prompting and even aiding them to break the bands of authority, she seized the opportunity of riveting her own chains upon them. Living retired from her neighborhood, and from our free institutions less liable to the seduction of her sophistry, we were
nevertheless liable to danger on another account. We felt a sympathy for her, laudable in its motives, but which being carried beyond due bounds, had well nigh served as the channel of the contagion, which, had it taken effect, would have proved mortal to our liberties.
Having overstrained the pretext of giving civil freedom to the world, and the government of France being changed into a form, which no longer admitted the continuance of that pretext; another delusion was engendered, under the cover of which, the remaining nations, being generally maritime, and situated at a distance, were to be debauched from their duties to themselves.—This was what is called the "Liberty of the Seas." Great Britain being predominant on that element, from which her enemies have for a long time been swept, has not used her sceptre, in every instance, with circumspection, and has sometimes surpassed, in order to accomplish her ends, those palpable limits of right, which ought to have been the protection of neutrals. In many cases neutrals have therefore suffered unforeseen injuries, which a returning sense of justice in the British ministry has not completely indemnified. Such is the nature of man, that abuse is inseparable from transcendent power.—But the neutral maritime nations became still more disgusted with the rules prescribed by Great Britain for her cruisers, because they disavowed certain principles introduced among them by specific conventions, the exercise of which, if yielded, would have reduced the rights of war within a narrower compass. Such are the freedom of convoys from search, and the protection of the cargo by the neutral flag; principles which the United States, alone among the neutrals, justly renounced as not obligatory on England.
It is to be remarked, that the French regulations have, more than those of any other nation, discountenanced these neutral pretensions; and that in the face of them are her captures made, and do her tribunals pronounce sentence. The instructions issuing from the French marine, lay down rules entirely contrary to this liberty of the seas. No nation has ever allowed less freedom of navigation than France has, to the neutrals her cruisers have met with. They have not thought it necessary to carry them even to a port of adjudication; but have upon the spot put an end to all controversy, by burning or scuttling them. With respect to the flag covering the property, France has never admitted it in her practice as a rule of the law of nations. When expressly stipulated, as it was with us, she has unceremoniously set it aside, both as respects our treaties with the former monarchy, and the convention made with Bonaparte in 1806. What champion of the liberty of the seas could be so little entitled to confidence as France and Bonaparte? Is it safe to put into his hands, if it were possible, the power of regulating the ocean? What security should we have that he would not use it to enlarge his own splendor, and confirm the slavery of the world?—He has never respected neutral privileges upon the land; why, therefore, is he to be set up as the sole possessor of the trident? A greater curse does not remain to be inflicted upon the world, than that the supreme authority at sea should be grasped by the tyrant of the land. The arbitrary acts of England would appear, beside his outrages, too diminutive to render it credible, that they were the causes of the combination that permitted him to commit them.
Yet the liberty of the seas is the lure which is held up to us to abandon them altogether; in like manner as the Berlin and Milan decrees, which are the bane of commerce, have been pretended by France to be the measures best adapted to compel Great Britain, to surrender what she has refused, as being her maritime rights. The truth, however, is not to be concealed, that those decrees were intended to cripple us exclusively, and force us into a war with England; and by retiring from the seas in order to vindicate its rights, our government never expected to see them established. The non intercourse law was cotemporary with the Berlin decree, and the previous demonstrations Congress gave of an intention to pass the law, probably produced the determination of Bonaparte to issue the decree. Again, the liberal execution of the decree preceded our embargo, and the Milan decree probably afforded the hint to make it permanent. Thus has every injury done by Bonaparte, been followed by another, which has been self-inflicted. It is a course of political insanity which must lead us into the most hideous and humiliated situation.
From the NEW YORK ORACLE.
We yesterday expressed regret that we could not credit the important intelligence received from Gibraltar at Newburyport. A general revolt in Spain against the French troops which are scattered throughout that kingdom and Portugal, has been generally predicted, and it might be expected that they would endeavor to disencumber themselves of a yoke which must be very grievous.—It would prove that the revolution which placed Ferdinand upon the throne was, in reality planned and effected by Bonaparte; that the prince of peace has not lost his popularity, and that
the Spaniards, far from regarding the French as their true and natural allies, entertain for them the most bitter hatred.
Frequently in the course of great events all human calculation is of no avail. The best concerted plans have often been the very cause of the ruin of the projectors. That which is called a political disaster is often the means in the hand of Providence, for elevating a nation, and the desperate conduct of an enslaved people, in the fury of revolt, which is regarded as a public evil, sometimes, becomes the means of a general regeneration.
The French revolution was produced by a miracle, an instance of which may, perhaps, never again occur; and we do not think that it has occurred, as detailed in the news from Gibraltar.
It is not improbable that partial insurrections may have taken place in the suburbs of Madrid, and that some French soldiers have been assassinated in houses of ill fame, or that licentious characters, such as are to be found in all armies, have used improper liberties with some of the families of the citizens, and that individual vengeance has been exacted. The vindictive character of the Spanish nation renders the surmise very probable; but we cannot, unless the intelligence is derived from the most authentic source, believe, that the nobility of Valencia and Catalonia would hazard an undertaking, the success of which might be easily calculated. It would be the most improper time for revolt, when Spain and Portugal are overrun by an invading army, and the general weakness of the country combined with other discouraging circumstances would render the plan abortive.
Nature has established the relations which subsist between neighboring nations. If they are possessed of equal strength, jealousy generally subsists between them; if one is weaker than the other, they make common cause with any other nation which will aid in establishing their supremacy, and enable them to establish their independence and privileges. Their internal tranquility depends upon its foreign concerns, and if among themselves, ministers and patriots are to be found, they can, by encouraging arts and manufactures, become respected by other nations.
During a century, that the House of Bourbon possessed their throne, Spain was almost continually in alliance with France. The nation was not weakened by this alliance, but by a national indolence, and a scarcity of population occasioned by the frequent establishment of colonies in America. When the French revolution took place, the king of Spain conceived it his duty to revenge the death of the king of France, which he had vainly endeavored to prevent; and what was the result. When reduced to the most imminent difficulties, the English disregarded his applications and abandoned him to the fury of his conquerors. The French took possession of his towns on the frontier, and the most grating and cruel necessity compelled one of the Houses of Bourbon to supplicate the alliance of those who had brought the virtuous Louis XVI to the scaffold.
The safety of the Spanish throne is to be attributed to the humility of her Sovereign; and the independence of the nation is owing to the concessions then made to France. If they had been conquered, the devastating influence of the French revolution would have pervaded the Spanish empire, the King would have been dethroned, and the nation enslaved.
France had the unexpected policy to respect the strong box. The certainty of deriving important succors from it, dictated caution, and the Spanish nation, not withstanding their weakness, has not had cause to repent their alliance.

Letters from Trinidad state, that immediately after the fire at that place, the Governor dispatched a vessel for the U. States, with an application for a supply of lumber, &c. On the first arrival of American vessels in ballast for cargoes, the Governor observed, that he wished to know, (before he suffered vessels to receive cargoes) whether his application to the U. States was successful. On a second application, however, and before the decision in America was known, he granted permission for American vessels to load.
NORFOLK, June 25.
A letter is received in this town from Amsterdam, dated the 27th April, which states that the mail of that day, had no information from Spain, where the emperor of France then was, stating that the seizure of all American property was ordered in France; the same is expected in Spain and Holland.
We place great confidence in this information because it is from a person of undoubted veracity.

Extract of a letter from Liverpool received at Boston, dated April 28.
"There is not a vessel here from Boston or New York. Every article of British manufacture must do well, provided you have patience. I am sure with you goods must advance very considerably by next winter; and I have an opinion it will be some months before the differences will be adjusted. You need not apprehend much coming in English ships they dare not venture. I am almost alone here, as it is now a rare sight to get a view of one of my countrymen."
Extract of a letter from Bristol Eng. to an American gentleman at Liverpool dated April 14.
"There is now here an American ship of 109 tons, without any papers but a register, she having escaped from the effects of the embargo. The concert of, I suppose, would have no objection to charter her for Oporto, Lisbon, or any other place; but I think their expectation would be nothing short of £1100. Those who have any thing to do with vessels for freight or charter, have become absolutely insolent in their demands. £300 have been paid for a ship of 330 tons, sharp built, from this place to S. Petersburg and back; £2000 for a ship 199 tons, for a voyage to Lisbon. Some persons ask £5 per ton, register for ship to America. There are only 10 Americans in port, 3 ready for sea, 2 for charter to America, and the others are engaged, with the exception of the schooner referred to."

We understand that the ship Sally-Ann, Glover, owned by Mr. David Hinckley, of Boston, and which sailed hence the day before the embargo act reached this place, has been chartered from Smyrna to Malta, and from the latter place to London, for 4000 sterling (17,777 dollars.)
By the schooner Thomas Tom, the following recommendation was brought by a passenger. It is said from the interdiction of the coasting trade to Passamaquoddy, the people there are now suffering greatly for the want of various articles.
Custom-House, Passamaquoddy, June 16, 1808.
The bearer, Mr. —, merchant, at Eastport, having applied for this recommendation.
Being well informed of the scarcity of dry goods, such as clothing of every kind—also, groceries and cutlery—presume to recommend he may be permitted to transport coastway such a supply as may be judged consistent.
Signed,
Lewis F. Delesdier, Collector.
We understand that the collector at this port, cannot act on this recommendation, without special authority.
Extract of a letter from Washington.
"Our affairs with England are beginning to look well: Nothing explicit has yet come to hand; but judging from appearances after the arrival of Rose, we presume that the winding up will be agreeable."
(American.)
[Alas! poor Duane, &c. &c. Is there no hope at all of having a stab or a kick at old England, just as she is sinking? Intolerable! Why, did not Bonaparte (in Champagne's epistle of liberality, as the Aurora styled it) declare war for us against Britain! and did not the editor of the Aurora pledge all his veracity and declare, many months since, that all our vessels were seized, and that we were at war with her? Shall we after all that be obliged to agree to an amicable and "agreeable winding up" with England? It would be terrible if any of our blood-thirsty jacobins should, in raging disappointment, wind themselves up by the neck! N.B. The above letter is from the American, of course no federal fabrication.]
From the Washington Federalist.
Mr. Editor.
YOU have no doubt perceived, in some of the Democratic papers, a parody on Shakespeare's celebrated Wit-scene. The piece alluded to is said to be the production of Sellick Osborn, well known as the former editor of the "Witness," at present the conductor of the "Boston Democrat." The enclosed is intended as a reply to Mr. Osborn's ingenious imitation. Should you think it in any degree worthy insertion, you will oblige a friend by publishing it in your next number of the Washington Federalist.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia
M m . H. Lee
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney 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 similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 3 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and lately often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and
will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calten-
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold, to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
