THE REVIEW. NO. VII.
We concluded our last number with Mr. Randolph's charge against Mr. Jefferson, that his object in holding two different languages, the one public and official, the other private and confidential, was to shift the responsibility of his own measures off upon congress, unquestionably that was his design. It is perfectly consonant with the tenor of his whole life, and particularly with all his conduct ever since he became president.
It was of this same duplicity, this treacherous, two fold behavior that Genet once complained in the bitterness of his heart. While Mr. Jefferson seconded his terrible views on the independence of this country in the closet, he combatted them in public as secretary of state. It was too much for the patience of the Frenchman and he exposed him.
It was this same system of low and cowardly cunning that dictated the dispatches to commodore Morris in the Mediterranean; in which it was so managed as to betray the commodore into war without committing the administration, thus leaving the president free to adopt or disavow his acts; and which ended, of course, in the persecution of that officer by Mr. Jefferson.
It was this turn for stratagem to retain his popularity at the expense, the sacrifice of every one else, that made him involve Mr. Eaton in a snare which nothing but the courage, the vigor, and the good sense of that officer could have extricated him from. It was this that brought ruin and desolation on Hamet Caramanli, a friend
to the senate with a message, informing them that it had been passed to enable the president to commence with more effect a negotiation for the purpose of the Spanish territories lying on the Atlantic ocean and the gulph of Mexico and eastward of the river Mississippi, and that the nature and importance of the measure had induced them to act with closed doors! And that therefore the senate would consider the communication as confidential. Here we see the ostensible object was a purchase of territory from Spain, and of course the senate could infer nothing, but that the grant of the two millions was wanted as the purchase money to pay Spain with. Whoever thinks so, however, will be egregiously mistaken. For the true destination of the money we must go back and take up a fact that we have reserved till this time.
Some days previous to the 14th of December, Mr. Randolph having occasion to call on Mr. Madison, the latter took the occasion to break to him, as chairman of the select committee, a great and very important state secret. He then proceeded to inform Mr. Randolph that if Spain was ever so much disposed to settle her differences with us, there lay a terrible obstacle in the way, namely, the want of consent on the part of France; which was only to be got over in one shape, and that was by paying her a good round sum of money, which, he added, must be done. His exact words, as related by Mr. Randolph, were, that "France would not permit Spain to adjust her differences with us; France wanted money and we must give it to her, or have a Spanish & French war." Oh! national humiliation! The administration declares that we must purchase peace, and of those too, to whom
it is not even pretended we had given any sort of offence; nay, of those who have been for years engaged in plundering and robbing us as long as they had a marine to enable them to do it.
Not long after this declaration of the secretary of state, Mr. Randolph tells us he was met by the secretary of the treasury, who put into his hands a paper headed "Provision for the purchase of Florida," and told him that he had devised a plan for raising the money, as he had been requested or directed by the president. But
from the national honor and national defence, and of delivering the public purse to the first cut-throat that demanded it." The answer was worthy a native of America. It was the language of an independent freeman, who felt as he ought for the humiliating state of his country. He concluded with declaring that "he held true wisdom and cunning to be incompatible in the conduct of great affairs." And in a subsequent conversation with the president himself, he declared that he too had character to support and principles to maintain, and that he was determined to oppose the whole scheme.
It is to be lamented that Mr. Randolph had not made the disclosure of all this to the house at an earlier period than he did, for it was not till after the appropriation had been voted. His indignation it seems, at length got the better of all prudent considerations, and he told the whole openly and boldly on the floor of congress. On which occasion, he informs us, Mr. Nicholson (who had voted for the appropriation) exclaimed, that he trusted in God the negotiation would fail; and that several other members who had voted with him were shocked, and expressed regret for the vote they had given.
The appropriation was made—the bill passed, and the nation was bubbled and dishonored.
From the (North Carolina) Raleigh Register.
EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON.
The following account of an extraordinary phenomenon, that appeared to a number of people in the county of Rutherford, state of North Carolina, was made the 7th of August, 1806, in presence of David Dickie, Esq. of the county and state aforesaid, Jesse Anderson and the Rev. George Newton, of the county of Buncomb, and Miss Betsey Newton, of the state of Georgia, who unanimously agreed, with the consent of the relaters, that Mr. Newton should communicate it to Mr. J. Gales, editor of the Raleigh Register and State Gazette.
Patsy Reaves, a widow woman, who lives near the Apalachian mountain, declared, that on the 31st day of July last, about 6 o'clock in the evening, her daughter Elizabeth, about eight years old, was in the cotton field, about ten poles from the dwelling house, which stands by computation six furlongs from the Chimney mountain, and that Elizabeth told her brother Morgan, aged eleven years, that there was a man on the mountain. Morgan was incredulous at first; but the little girl affirmed it, and said she saw him rowling rocks or picking up sticks, adding that she saw a heap of people. Morgan then went to the place where she was, and calling out said that he saw a thousand or ten thousand things flying in the air. On which Polly, daughter of Mrs. Reaves, aged 14 years, and a negro woman, ran to the children, and called to Mrs. Reaves to come and see what a sight yonder was. Mrs. Reaves says, she went about five poles towards them, and without any sensible alarm or fright, she turned towards the Chimney mountain, and discovered a very numerous crowd of beings resembling the human species; but could not discern any particular members of the human body, nor distinction of sexes; that they were of every size, from the tallest men down to the least infants; that they were more of the small than of the full grown, that they were all clad with brilliant white raiment, but could not describe any form of their raiment; that they appeared to rise off the side of a mountain south of said rock, and about as high; that a considerable part of the mountain's top was visible above this shining host; that they moved in a northern direction, and collected about the top of the Chimney rock. When a few had reached said rock, two seemed to rise together, and behind them about two feet, a third rose. These three moved with great agility towards the crowd, and had the nearest re-
semblance to men of any before seen. While beholding these three, her eyes were attracted by three more rising nearly from the same place, and moving swiftly in the same order and direction. After those, several others rose and went towards the rock.
During this view, which all the spectators thought lasted upwards of an hour, she sent for Mr. Robert Siercy, who did not come at first; on a second message sent about fifteen minutes after the first, Mr. Siercy came, and being now before us, he gives the following relation, to the substance of which Mrs. Reaves agrees.
Mr. Siercy said, when he was coming he expected to see nothing extraordinary, and when come being asked if he saw those people on the mountain he answered no, but on looking a second time, he said he saw more glittering white appearances of human kind than ever he had seen of men at any general review; that they were of all sizes from that of men to infants; that they moved in throngs round a large rock not far from the chimney rock; they were about the height of the chimney rock and moved in a semi-circular course, between him and the rock and so passed along in a southern course between him and the mountain, to the place where Mrs. Reaves said they rose; and that two of a full size went before the general crowd about the space of 20 yards: and as they respectively came to this place, they vanished out of sight, leaving a solemn and pleasing impress on the mind, accompanied with a diminution of bodily strength.
Whether the above be accountable on philosophical principles, or whether it be a prelude to the descent of the Holy City, I leave to the impartially curious to judge. GEORGE NEWTON.
P.S. The above subscriber has been informed, that on the same evening, and about the same time in which the above phenomenon appeared, there was seen by a gentleman of character, who was several miles distant from the place, a bright rainbow, apparently near the sun, then in the west, where there was no appearance of either clouds or rain; but a haze in the atmosphere. The public are therefore at liberty to judge whether the phenomenon had any thing supernatural in it, or whether it was some usual exhalation or moist vapor from the side of the mountain, which exhibited such an unusual rainbow.

FROM THE PEOPLE'S FRIEND.
If we had the progress of the affairs between Spain and us, we shall be astonished no less at the want of common sense than at the want of spirit in our national councils. We were compulsorily pushed from our right of deposit at New Orleans—rather than boldly resume it as it ought to have been resumed, we negotiated away the offence, buying New Orleans and, for the sake of it, all Louisiana. As soon as we have paid our money Spain makes an inroad upon us, forbidding us the use of certain rivers in the place she had sold. We endeavor to negotiate that offence away too; but Spain, knowing that humiliation is our habit, refuses to listen to us. It will be remembered that two years ago, or more, the congressional house of representatives came to a resolution that America must get the Floridas either by purchase or by force; Spain says to us "you shall not have the Floridas by purchase—so, now keep your word if you can and take them by force." The ambassador of Spain insults your chief magistrate, who in a paroxysm of that kind of courage which timid hearts collect from the high effervescence of their fears, orders the ambassador from the seat of government, and his sovereign to recall him. But that monarch gives the ambassador fresh credentials and orders him to beard our government. For half this, our legislature would have been stimulated to make non-importation laws against England, and "to try which could do the most hurt." But our executive knows that England can at all times be negotiated with, whereas the miserable pigeon Spain stuck under the wing of its spoiling vulture the Corsican, it once irritated could never be appeased by that Jeffersonian warfare—negotiation. In the eye of England, mild even in anger, we might look—for powerful though she is, she will listen to reason. But at the bloody brow of Bonaparte we dare not glance. In his terrific presence the mind's eye becomes dazzled—in the contemplation of him the base heart becomes vanquished. And while our rulers gape in tremulous, panic stricken admiration at the enemy of mankind, not a gleam of comfort breaks across their minds, save that which they derive, whatever it may be, from the hope of compromise with his high and mighty
will, and by submission scarcely conditional to his mandates. In this aspect, distrust of themselves and their country's power does it never occur to our statesmen that submission to outrage, insult or exactation never fails to induce repetition of them with increased weight; and that every step we recede we have so much more to fight back again, or else yield. Thus the fears of our government beget our danger. How finely is this temper and conduct described by Burke, in the following words, which he applied in 1796 to the British ministers, meanly begging negotiation from France. "In the palpable night of their terrors, men under consternation suppose not that it is the danger which by a sure instinct calls out the courage to resist it, but that the courage which does produce the danger. They therefore seek for a refuge from their fears in their fears themselves, and consider a temporizing meanness as the only source of safety."

NEW-YORK, September 22. About 10 o'clock last night, the house No. 175, Pearl's street, owned and occupied by Mr. Benjamin Bakewell, merchant, was discovered to be on fire. The family being in the country, the front doors were broken open with axes; and by the exertions of the firemen and citizens, the fire was extinguished after considerable injury had been sustained. The fire originated in the cellar, and is supposed to have been done by design. On Saturday evening Mr. Wood's bake house in Fair street, received some damage by fire.
To the editor of the Evening Post. "SIR,
"I take the freedom of dropping you this line, in order to undeceive you with regard to the fate of the unfortunate crews of Miranda's two schooners. It is stated in Laguire by all the Spaniards, as well governmental officers as others, that of the two crews, ten of the principal men (viz. the officers) were hung at Port Cavello; and all the remainder sent to the mines, or put in confinement for life. From these, however, are to be excepted, two boys, from 12 to 14 years of age, who are to be sent back to the United States. This is said, in Laguire, to be the real fate of the crews, and is universally credited by Spaniards and Americans; indeed I have no doubt of its correctness. After these people were hung, their heads were taken off, and six sent to Caracas, two to Laguire, and two kept at Port Cavello. The two heads sent to Laguire, are put up in iron cages, and hung on lofty poles just without the front gate of the city. Mr. Lynch, a very intelligent gentleman from Philadelphia, residing at Caracas, told me, that he saw the two heads when first put up at Laguire—they were then fresh, and he felt pretty confident that one of them was the head of captain Doneheau (I presume I do not spell the name properly) the other he thought to be captain Gardner's—this, however, must be only conjecture.
The reason why I did not mention the above circumstance in my letter to you from quarantine ground, was, that I supposed the American public must have been possessed of the facts some time before. You will excuse my troubling you with this relation, as it is merely to satisfy your own mind upon the subject."

Captain Davis, encountered in the Gulf the 2d instant a tremendous gale, during which the ship sprung a leak and obliged him to bear away for this port. On Wednesday last, captain Pearse fell with the hull of a wrecked brig of about two hundred tons burthen, bright head broke off, had been loaded with coal, and apparently had a number of passengers on board, as considerable quantities of wearing apparel were floating about. She was totally dismasted. 2 days before picked up the topmast and foresail of a ship.
the United States, under a French commission, and with those troops attacked the posts of a neutral and friendly nation. The inducements to this nomination, which was indignantly rejected by the senate of the United States, may have been very influential with Mr. Jefferson, but can never be satisfactorily explained to the nation, or to the injured or insulted officers in our army, over whose heads, after 20 years faithful service, it was thus proposed to hoist a foreign agent, who was an utter stranger to that army, and whose conduct had grossly violated the laws, and endangered the peace of our country!
scene? Have the Grenvilles any motives for retaining them? Have they shown that cordiality which would induce the Grenvilles to continue them in power? Has it not been notorious that the Foxites, notwithstanding their junction with the Grenvilles, have preserved the old line of distinction between the two parties as broad and distinct as ever? that they have been anxious to point that line out to the public and to obtain popularity at the expense of the Grenvilles? that they have upon all occasions taken care to reprobate those measures in which they knew the Grenvilles, had largely participated? Do they think the Grenvilles have been blind and deaf to their proceedings? Even whilst their leader was in health, the Foxites have been losing ground so rapidly in the opinion of the public, that his protection could hardly have kept them so long in power; but deprived of that protection, their dissolution as a party must have followed of course.

AN EMBARRASSMENT: A gentleman sitting in one of the boxes in company with the late lord North, knowing his lordship, entered into a conversation with him, and seeing two ladies come into an opposite box, turned to him, and addressed him with, "Pray, sir, can you inform me who is that ugly devil that is just come in?" "O," replied his lordship, with great good humor, "that is my wife." "Sir, I ask you ten thousand pardons—I do not mean her, I mean that shocking monster who is along with her." "That," replied his lordship, "is my daughter."
OF THE FOXITES. Should Mr. Fox's illness continue, we should suppose he would be under the necessity of resigning the office of secretary of the state, the duties of which must, at such a time as the present extremely arduous, and which of course requires to be filled by a constant application. There is said to be little hope that he will ever be able again to take a very active part in the house of commons. The resignation of Mr. Fox, could not but be productive of the most serious consequences to his party; for take him away and Mr. Sheridan, who however is no cabinet Minister, and what talents is there left. The public have been so long in the habit of hearing the partisans of the Foxites talk of the vast talents of their leaders, that they have almost taken it for granted that the brawlers have truth on their side. They heard the Foxites make such violent speeches in parliament, and declaim with such acrimony against every measure of the ministers, that they began to believe them more capable than their predecessors, and better qualified to conduct the affairs of the country. But the talents which enable a man to make a figure in a factious opposition, are very different from those which are necessary for a statesman; so different that the very qualities which a factious oppositionist ought to possess, are those which disqualify him from being an able statesman. Take Mr. Fox away & what would remain? Sui nominis umbra.
A successor to Mr. Fox might be found without difficulty. Our readers will go with us in thinking, that a more fit minister for foreign affairs could not be selected than the marquis of Wellesley. He who defeated the designs and intrigues of Bonaparte in India, and who expelled the French in that immense empire, is surely well qualified to fill a situation in which he will have to meet the designs and to battle the intrigues of Bonaparte in Europe.
DIED this morning, in about the 81st year of her age, after a lingering illness, MARY DOUGLASS. Her distinguishing characteristic was fervent piety. Through a long course of years religion—the religion of Jesus Christ was the source from which she received her highest enjoyment. She died as she had lived, strong in the faith and hope of a blissful immortality. The friends and acquaintance of the family are requested to attend her funeral to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock, at the house of James Douglass, in Prince street.

MARRIED, last evening, by the Rev. Thomas Davis, Capt. GEORGE COLEMAN, to Miss ELIZABETH MARSTELLER—both of this town. Mr. Comyns, in the court of King's Bench, moved for a Habeas Corpus to bring up a seaman, who had been impressed, upon the ground that he was an American-born subject. The court asked what proof there was of his being an American? The counsel replied, that he had the affidavit of two persons who knew him to have been born in America. The court, upon this, granted a rule. London paper.
By every arrival from Holland, the account is confirmed of the universal dissatisfaction of the people at the new regal government imposed upon them by the emperor Napoleon. But they must grumble, and bear it. They invited their destiny; and paid no attention to the warning voice of their real patriots, who first resisted French aggression, when it bore the mask of protection. They were told that French protection was "the mill which would grind the miller as well as the corn;" and they have found it so. "Learn to be wise by others' harms." Boston paper.
While the attention of the American people is called, in a new paper, entitled, "The Western World," to the consideration of schemes and projects hitherto entertained, by certain characters, some of whom are at present high in the confidence of Mr. Jefferson, for rendering the state of Kentucky independent of the union; it may not be irrelevant to enquire for what possible object the president, during the last session of congress, thought fit to nominate, as lieutenant colonel commandant of the 2d regiment of regular infantry, a certain Mr. Hammond, formerly an agent for Mr. Genet, and who had enlisted troops within
the United States, under a French commission, and with those troops attacked the posts of a neutral and friendly nation. And deprived of the protecting arm of Mr. Fox, how can they expect to stand? They well know that they were admitted into the cabinet, not because their talents were wanted, but because they were of Mr. Fox's party. If Mr. Fox, whose services were deemed necessary, be no longer able to render any, and be forced to withdraw, on account of ill health, how can they expect to be retained when he who conferred upon them whatever of consequence they possess, has retired from the

Strayed or Stolen, From off the commons of Alexandria, on Saturday, the 20th instant, A DARK GREY PONEY, rising four years old, 13 and half hands high, her mane, which is rather darker than the other hair, hangs on the off side; branded on the near buttock with the letter S. Her off hind foot is corked. She had an old saddle and bridle on her when she went off; the saddle was without a pad, but had a blanket under it. As she was foaled and raised near this place, I think it probable she has been stolen. I will give a liberal reward to any person who will return her to me or give information so that I get her again. Benjamin M'Farlin, Near the Falls of Potomac. September 25. 3t*
BREAD-BAKING. THE subscriber takes the opportunity of acquainting his friends and the public in general, that he has removed to town again and has taken the house and bake-house formerly occupied by Mr. Edwards, baker, on Fairfax-street, nearly opposite the Presbyterian church; where he carries on the LOAF-BREAD-BAKING business in all its various branches. Families who wish to have their own flour baked can be furnished with bread pound for pound, and he will constantly keep the best Superfine Flour by retail, at the most reduced rate. As he means neither to spare labor nor pains as well as due attention, he hopes, from the knowledge he has of the business after serving an apprenticeship to it, to share a part of the public patronage.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colas, 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 oppressed 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 fever-cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper: he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of his invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's
GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the cinkilful 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 unparallelled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weaknesses,  Obstinate Gleet,    Fluorbus (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public. Yours, &c.

John Hoover, rope maker, South Second street, by Mary and Christian streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely,
That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold, after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or debility in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar, so commonly complained of as operating similar vi-
olence, on the contrary a particular excellence of this is, contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent and 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 or whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints and the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—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 advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—
By Hamilton's
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and waring 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 vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR Sir,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite replete with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, 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.

Dr. TISSOT'S
Celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops. NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place 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 most expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other 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 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 Calton place; to which may be added, the following testimony of respectable gentlemen residing in the city of Baltimore:
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, on 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, Harrow-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 operates 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.
