Twenty Dollars Reward,
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man slave, named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the middle ferry opposite to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lusty and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples in his face. He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his engagement, I suspect he has had the address to slip himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Canfield, at Port Tobacco. C. B. Caufin.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4th, 1806.
PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL.
To all who love the prosperity of Zion, and are disposed to aid in propagating the Gospel among the Heathen.
THE subscriber lately returned from a voyage to the East-Indies, touched in Europe, and was in London in August last, where he received from the Baptist Missionary Society in England for propagating the Gospel among the heathen, one thousand guineas, to be sent in the spring to the Missionaries in Bengal, for the purpose of printing the sacred Scriptures in one of the languages of that country. There are seven languages that the Missionaries there aim to translate and publish the Scriptures in. They have made such progress in three of them that it is expected that the above sum will enable them to complete the work. The money is now in the hands of ROBERT RALSTON, Esquire, of Philadelphia, who will forward it in due time. Should any individual, society, or congregation of people in the United States of America, be disposed to contribute to this good work, Mr. Ralston will gladly receive whatever may be sent to him for that purpose, and add to it the above sum, to be forwarded to the Missionaries at Serampore near Calcutta.
(Signed) ENJAMIN WICKES, Sen. Philadelphia, Nov. 4, 1805.
WE whose names are underwritten, Ministers of the Gospel in the city of Philadelphia do hereby certify that we are fully ascertained that the statement made by captain Wickes, in the foregoing advertisement, is perfectly correct. We also take the liberty respectfully to recommend to the pious and the liberal of all denominations of Christians, in the United States, an attention to the important objects which this advertisement holds up to their view. Nothing, it appears to us, can be more interesting to a truly benevolent mind. The design contemplated, is not to disseminate the favorite tenets of any particular sect of Christians. It is to print and propagate, among a race of heathen who are sunk and degraded by the vilest and cruellest system of superstition and idolatry, the pure word of eternal life contained in the holy Scriptures, without any gloss or comment whatsoever. If this can be extensively effected, the happiest consequences may be expected to follow; since the natives of India, unlike most other pagans, are many them able to read, and still more of them are disposed earnestly to listen to what the Bible contains. Even the amelioration of their condition in this life, by a knowledge and belief of the Scriptures, would be an event calculated to produce a lively joy, in every mind influenced by humanity. For their horrible superstition subjects them unceasingly to the most dreadful torments, and annually deprives a large number even of life itself. But in addition to this, how interesting must be the thought to every truly pious mind, that many of these miserable creatures, by having a Bible in their hands, may not only better their worldly condition, but become truly converted unto God, and through the merits of the Savior, be raised to eternal happiness and glory. Among the many objects which we know are now soliciting the patronage of the pious and the liberal, throughout our country, we cannot but think that this deserves a marked attention. Nor can we forbear to add, that we have good reason to believe, that donations from the inhabitants of the U. States, for the promotion of the design which has here been specified, would greatly animate and encourage the worthy men who are engaged in the translation of the scriptures, by giving them a striking proof that their arduous work interests the feelings, and is accompanied by the good wishes of Christians, in every region to which the knowledge of it has extended.
Some other important considerations, which it is hoped will as much encourage the liberality of the public, as they animate the hopes and labors of the Missionaries in India, ought to be briefly stated. At Serampore, the immediate seat of the mission, there are a type foundery and printing presses, together with a valuable library, consisting chiefly of books containing the various copies and readings of the scriptures, with whatever can materially facilitate the labors of a translator. Learned natives can be procured to assist in the work; and the local situation of the mission is such as will render its distribution throughout India easy and immediate. The missionaries themselves (among whom is the laborious, learned, and pious Mr.
Carey, Professor of oriental languages, in the college of Fort Williams, at Calcutta) have been so long engaged in studying language, and in translating, that the employment has become in a good degree habitual.
Seven languages are spoken in India; the Ootkul, which prevails among four millions of inhabitants; the Telingo and Kurnata, each spoken by about seven millions; the Mahratta used by eight millions five hundred thousand; the Tamul, by upwards of nine millions; the Hindostanee, by at least forty-five millions; and the Bengalee, in which the translation is already completed, by a number of the inhabitants nearly equaling the population of the United States of America. The total of the benighted idolaters of India, equals about the one eighth of the whole race of men now dwelling on our globe. How animating the prospect, that the holy Bible, by the efforts of pious Christians in Europe and America, is likely soon to circulate among these millions of wretched people, by whom absurd and injurious Vedas and Shasters are now pronounced divine.

From the United States Gazette.
WASHINGTON CITY.
I have succeeded at last in obtaining a copy of the curious correspondence between our secretary of state and the marquis de Casa Yrujo. You will undoubtedly share on its perusal in the sentiments of indignation it has excited here among Tytius & Projans. When it was known that the president had ordered an official notification to be served on the marquis, to leave the city a few hours after his arrival in it, it was the general impression that the minister of Spain must have had proved on him some of those heinous crimes, which alone according to the opinion of the best writers on the laws of nations could justify a similar proceeding; but what has been our surprise when we found that this imprudent and hasty step of the president had no other motive but that of the marquis's having come as usual to Washington after a demand had been made for his recal at the court of Madrid,
and again, what has the astonishment of every one been when they discovered that the only cause brought forward to solicit his recal, is the long forgotten ridiculous mistake of major Jackson? I do not speak of the ridiculous supposition of a right over the person of an ambassador without an acknowledged, grounded motive, which could not be applied to the meanest of our citizens.
Never was there such an infatuation! the fact is that the president has got hold for his purposes of this miserable pretence, he attributes to the marquis I understand the invincible difficulties he has met with at the court of Spain, and some pretensions generally acknowledged here as groundless and unsupported; and thus the administration cannot forgive him for having placed them under the painful necessity of whispering to congress the humilating confession that the acquisition of the best part of West Florida, promulgated by them with so much exultation, for obvious motives turns out a mere golden dream of their own making.
By the observations contained in the marquis's note in reply to the paragraph of the president's message, they anticipated with terror, that he could and probably would let at once the cat out of the bag, by propagating amongst the members and others, particulars which it was important to conceal. As long as the marquis remained in Philadelphia, the minds of our cabinet continued composed enough. The official communication verbally and by writing had been kept up between him and Mr. Madison, until the departure of the latter from Philadelphia late in October. More we understand, they were in the habit of a frequent social intercourse, and that Mr. Madison even went to dine at the marquis's country house. Since that period no incident whatever had occurred, which ought or could reasonably alter the state of things; but as soon as the marquis spoke of going to the seat of government, a complete change took place in the scene; a friend both to the administration and the marquis was employed to prevail on him not to come down to the Federal city. The suggestion was warmly presented as the effect of personal friendship. The marquis who had nothing to reproach himself with not being able to conciliate the sudden transition from a former public and personal intercourse to the unexpected extinction of both as it was also insinuated, came to Washington as he had in contemplation; and a few hours after his arrival received the following letter. Never was there a greater want of dignity or a more glaring inconsistency! Rub your eyes and read.
No. 1.
Department of State, Jan 15th, 1806.
SIR, In consequence of the just objections which your conduct has furnished against your continuance here, as the organ of communication on the part of his Catholic Majesty, it was signified at Madrid, in the month of April last, through the mission of the United States there, that the substitution of another was desired by the President. In reply it was intimated by Mr. Cevallos, that as you had yourself expressed a wish and obtained permission to return to Spain, the purpose might be accomplished without the necessity of a recal, and that such a change in the mode would be agreeable to your government; in a spirit of conciliation the arrangements proposed by Mr. Cevallos was admitted, and it was not doubted, that it would without delay have been carried into effect. It is seen therefore not without surprise, that at this late day, you should have repaired to the seat of government as if nothing had occurred rendering such a step improper. Under these circumstances, the president has charged me to signify to you, that your remaining at this place is dissatisfactory to him, and that although he cannot permit himself to insist on your departure from the United States during an inclement season, he expects it will not be unnecessarily postponed after this obstacle shall have ceased.
I am charged by the president, at the same time to let it be fully understood, that the considerations which have led to this explanation, being altogether personal, they are perfectly consistent with the ready admission of a successor, and with all the attention which can be due to whatever communications his Catholic Majesty may please to make with a view to cultivate harmony and friendship between the two nations.
I have the honor to be, With consideration and respect, Your most obedient servant, (Signed) JAMES MADISON. The Marquis de Casa Yrujo.
No. 2. (TRANSLATION)
Washington, 16th Jan.16th Jan. 1806. James Madison, Esq.
SIR, I have just received your letter of yesterday, in which you are pleased to tell me that from the president of the United States having solicited my recal at Madrid, in the month of April last, he has heard, with surprise, my arrival in this city, the residence of government, and that he thinks this step of mine improper, and that at the same time, that my stay here would be dissatisfactory to him. As the object of my stay is not with a view to hatch plots, to excite conspiracies, or to promote any attempt whatever against the government of the United States, and as hitherto I have not either directly or indirectly committed acts of a similar tendency, which alone could justify the tenor and object of your letter, to which I reply, my arrival here is an innocent and legal act, which leaves me in the full enjoyment of all my rights and privileges, both as a public character or a private individual. Making use, therefore, of these rights and privileges, I intend remaining in the city, four miles square, in which the government resides, as long as it may suit the interests of the king, my master, or my own personal convenience; I must at the same time add that I shall not lose sight of these two circumstances as respects the period and season in which our mutual desires for my departure from the United States are to be accomplished.
In regard to the objections which this government, in its wisdom is pleased to call just respecting the demand of my removal, I shall take the liberty of observing, that although this government no doubt may have had their reasons to solicit it, they hitherto have forgotten to communicate them to mine, for Mr. Monroe's official letter to Mr. Cevallos on this subject, merely contains vague undetermined, general assertions destitute of any proof whatever. It is true that he alledges an attempt of mine to bribe a citizen of the United States; but it is equally so that as this assertion of government is grounded on a reference to a testimony already proved incorrect. I may without wounding the feelings of, or be wanting in that respect which I owe this administration, permit myself to call it false and calumnious, independent that in the letter I had the honor of writing to you, sir, early in September 1804, in which this business was completely and satisfactorily explained. If, in fact, the editor of the Commercial Register, could ever be considered as an organ of truth, what would the American people think of their chief magistrate, of the heads of departments and of the acts of this administration? It is not my intention to endeavor to change by this explanation the disposition of this government towards my person; my object is solely to fulfil the duty my situation imposes upon me, of again repelling an imputation which is as improbable in itself as it is calumnious against both my public and private character.
I shall therefore, sir, communicate your letter of yesterday to my government. I shall also inform it of my answer thereto, and whenever by the order of the king my master, I am to return to Spain, I shall quit the United States with sentiments of affection towards a virtuous people, in whose bosom I have lived ten years, with the intimate testimony of having never committed any grounded offence against their government, and above all the consoling satisfaction of having employed all my zeal and feeble talents in defence of the rights and interest of the best of kings.
I have the honor to be, Sir, &c. (Signed) EL MARQUIS DE CASA YRUJO.
No. 3. (TRANSLATION)
Washington, January 19th 1806.
SIR, Having gone through the personal explanation, which for just motives I was compelled to enter into, in my first answer to your letter of the 15th instant. I must now inform you, that otherwise would then have constituted my sole reply; namely, That the Exmo. Exmo. Secretary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Catholic Majesty, near the United States receives no orders except from his sovereign. I must also declare to you, sir, that I consider both the style and tenor of your letter as indecorous, and its object an infraction of the privileges attached to my public character. This violation of the diplomatic rights and privileges as inexplicable in itself as it is grounded, requires on my part the most solemn protest against your said letter, its style, and the intent with which it was addressed to me. I therefore protest in the most solemn manner I possibly can, against this improper step of your

MESSAGE From the President of the United States, transmitting sundry additional documents respecting the application of HAMET CA- RAMALLI, ex-bashaw of Tripoli.
To the house of representatives of the United States.
Sundry letters relative to Hamet Cara-malli, in addition to the documents which accompanied my message of January 13th, having been sent to the senate, on their particular request, the same are now transmitted to the house of representatives also, as the same subject is before them.
TH: JEFFERSON. FEBRUARY 4th, 1805.
Extract of a letter from the secretary of state to William Eaton, esq. dated Washington, May 20th, 1801.
Your letter of the 2d and 18th September, 6th October, 1, 9, 10, 15, 16, 13, 25, 19 and 21st November, and 8th December, have been received since the date of Mr. Lincoln's letter, by the Grand Turk, which sailed from New York in March last, with the third cargo of regalia, for Tunis. The proofs which have been given by the bashaw of Tripoli, of his hostile designs against the United States, have as you will learn from commodore Dale, determined the president to send to the Mediterranean a squadron of three frigates and a sloop of war under the command of that officer. Should war have been declared or hostilities commenced, this force will be immediately employed in the defence and protection of our commerce, against the pirates of that regency. It is hoped that the contagion will not have spread either to Tunis or Algiers; but should one or both of them have followed the perfidious example, their corsairs will be equally repelled and punished.
The policy of exhibiting a naval force on the coast of Barbary, has long been urged by yourself and the other consuls. The present moment is peculiarly favorable for the experiment, not only as it is a provision against an immediate danger, but as we are now at peace and amity with all the rest of the world, and as the force employed would, if at home, be at nearly the same expence, with less advantage to our mariners. The president has, therefore, every reason to expect the utmost exertions of your prudence and address, in giving the measure an impression most advantageous to the character and interests of the United States. In effecting this object, the means must be left, in a great degree, to your knowledge of the local, and other circumstances, which cannot be understood at this distance. You will, of course, take the pains to satisfy the bey, that the U. States are desirous of maintaining peace with all nations, who are willing to live in peace; that they have given abundant evidence of their disposition to cultivate the friendship of the Barbary regencies, and of himself in particular; and that if the flag of the United States should be engaged in a war with either of them, it will be a war of defence and necessity, not of choice or provocation. You will also give every friendly explanation and assurance on this occasion, which may be requisite for the consuls and agents of other powers residing at Tunis.
You are authorised to inform the bey of Tunis, that a vessel is now preparing to take in the cargo, which will complete the regalia due to him, and that no time will be lost in getting her on her voyage. The jewels, to the amount of 40,000 dollars, have, as you know, been ordered to be prepared in London. On the 28th December last, Mr. King wrote - "I have concluded to take immediate measures to provide the jewels enumerated in the list furnished by Mr. Eaton. Some of the articles can soon be prepared and sent; others, including the arms, and almost all the jewelry, will require a long time to be prepared." If they are essential to the preservation of peace, and the benefits of the treaty with the bey, they must be yielded to him.
It will be agreeable, both to the humanity of the president & the policy of your situation, to render kind offices to the British, and all others within your consulate, but you cannot accept an appointment from any other government than the United States.
The ship purchased by you, being foreign built, it excluded, by a construction of our laws, from having a Mediterranean pass.

Captain Arnold, of the brig Susannah from Gottenburgh, informs us, that on the 10th of January, in lat. 39, 40, long. 29, 30, he spoke the ship Iris then out 29 days from Salem for Messina, who had been boarded on his passage and detained for a short time by a French fleet, consisting of eleven sail of the line and seven frigates, out 21 days from Brest, steering in a southwesterly direction. (N. Y. pap.)
A journeyman mason in London, boasting of his strength, was "stumped" to a bet, that he could not carry his brother chip in his hod up a ladder to the top of a five story building. The stakes were lodged, and the incredulous knight of the trowel crooked himself into the place for the bricks, and was shouldered by his friend, who mounted the ladder and won the bet. When they were again on terra firma, "I acknowledge I have lost (said the better) but I did not think you could have done it, and it was difficult for you, for when you was about the fourth story you trembled exceedingly—and I was in hopes!"

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throat, 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 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 forenses 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 favor 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—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the intemperate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the disease peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by a long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesses,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluoribus (or whites)  Obstinate glects,    Barrenness,  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 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.
W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope maker, South Second street, between 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 foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar style, so commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary, a particular excellence of this and its being suited to every age and constitution, and also 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, with one or two doses, 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 effectual 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.
and its being suited to every age and constitution, and also 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, with one or two doses, 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 effectual 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 Tercs or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid 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 tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away a bout 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, to 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.
