CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Saturday, February 29.
DEBATE
On the bill supplementary to the act laying an embargo, &c.
[CONTINUED.]
MR. D. R. WILLIAMS. I do renew the motion; and I hope there is yet sobriety enough in the house, not to suffer themselves to be driven into an improper measure by any intemperance which any member may have displayed. Mr. W. then gave some reasons why the bill should be recommitted; it had been so repeatedly and variously amended that it could not be understood. As a further reason for committal, he said that the chairman of the committee himself had offered a proviso, and upon a reconsideration of it had found it had not the operation he intended.
MR. DANA said altho' not partial to the measure of laying an embargo, he should endeavor to legislate effectually, to propose amendments or to object to them to any bill whatever which should be necessary to carry into effect the general object. Since an embargo had been laid he was willing to render it effectual and equalize its operation. He then gave some reasons why the bill should be recommitted.
MR. RHEA (Ten.) moved to adjourn - Negatived, 55 to 25.
MR. LIVERMORE said he had seconded the motion for recommittal because he thought the bill required revision. There had been exceptions taken to several parts of it, were gentlemen ready to go into a discussion of it at this late hour and at this late day in the week? He tho't not, and for this reason wished them to be examined by the committee.
MR. J. MONTGOMERY. Now, at this late hour charges of a very serious nature against this house have been made on this floor by a gentleman from N. York. Not on this day are they made for the first time; they have been sent abroad in the public prints. It is important to know how those charges originated. At this late hour they cannot be repelled. Let us pursue this course in this awful business; let the question be carried over; let the house now adjourn. At our next meeting let us take up, and if those charges can be proven, if we are indeed so abandoned, so profligate, so destitute of patriotism, so dead to every thing which concerns the interest of our country, let us be stamped with infamy and sent home to our constituents. The crisis is serious and calls for the attentive deliberation of the house. Let the gentleman from New York establish his charges; if he does so, I for one will say those persons under this secret influence must be immediately expelled the house, if he does not, some other course may be taken with relation to that gentleman.
MONDAY, February 22.
The house having resumed the consideration of the bill amendatory of the embargo law, and the motion for recommittal being yet before the house.
MR. JOHNSON observed that it had been late in the day on Saturday when a gentleman from New York, in giving some of his reasons why this bill should be committed, had made use of observations which he had at that time wished to repel, that he hoped he should be excused a few moments this morning in expressing to the house his sentiments of the course of that discussion, and what should always be his conduct so long as he held a seat in the councils of his country.
I presume, said he, that the rules which govern this house are reciprocal; and tho' I cannot feel myself justified in making an attack on any member without reasons by which to substantiate charges which I may make against them, yet I will abandon my seat at that moment in which I am not permitted to repel any attacks made on the house on which I am in common with the rest included. I represent a portion of the citizens of the United States. Before they sent me here they knew my sentiments: I had not concealed them. I have since I have been here on all occasions voted from a sense of duty, and upon evidence derived from sources accessible to all. I am a friend to liberal discussion and freedom of debate; but I am an enemy to insinuations unfounded and attacks unprovoked. I know that in the ardor of debate expressions may have escaped the lips of myself
or any gentleman. I may have been betrayed into an hurried expression, in which perhaps upon retrospection I might not feel myself justified but from the ardor of debate. But a direct charge against any members on this floor, tending to put them in a degraded and infamous view, is contrary to honorable conduct and cannot be excused, much less can it be justified. I have differed in opinion with gentlemen on this floor; and notwithstanding this difference I respect them individually, so far as I am acquainted with them, and so far as they have treated me with that politeness due from one gentleman to another. I should consider myself as derogating from the dignity of a representative, were I to level a reflection against any member because he differed from me in political sentiment. But what expressions have we heard on a subject on which they were not applicable, when every one of all parties seemed to join to render the embargo as effectual as a national measure should be. To this house and to those who vote for the measure, have been applied the observations, that an invisible hand guided us; that we were told what was wanting and that the council of five hundred voted it; that we are governed by foreign influence; that our steps are marked by folly and madness; that we are forging chains to bind us to the triumphal car of the French emperor; that we are mere automotons, that we wait for the word of command and we obey. Expressions of this kind I never expected to hear on this floor. Such expressions I never expected to hear from the representative of a free people; and I pronounce them derogatory to the republican character and highly reprehensible. If by such expressions the gentleman means to charge me, or if any man shall say that I am governed by any other impulse, than duty, or influenced by any other motives than my own, I say that I consider it a base and unprincipled calumny. And what I have said I am glad that I did not say till this morning, because it is now deliberately done. A member may say what he pleases with respect to himself; that he is governed by such or such influence. But when a charge is made that I am governed by any other impulse than that of an American, and that I am a tool to the will of others I pronounce it a slander. Under this impression I make this reply. And I would be understood that if any one considers himself injured or the resentment of any gentleman is awakened by any thing which I have said, that I do not consider myself as shielded by the splendid walls which surround me nor by the privileges of a member. What I have said I shall not retract.
[Debate to be continued]
MINUTES.
THURSDAY, Feb. 25.
Mr. Jackson, a member from the state of Virginia, appeared and took his seat.
The house took up for consideration the bill for remitting the duties payable on the monument, &c. and Mr. Milnor having withdrawn the amendment which he yesterday offered,
Mr. Gardner moved that the bill be recommitted, negatived. The bill was then ordered to a third reading.
A report was received from the secretary of war, unfavorable to the petition of Samuel French.
Messrs. Dana, J. Clay and Nicholas were appointed a committee to join with the gentlemen appointed by the senate to superintend the library.
On motion of Mr. Dawson the house went into committee of the whole.
Mr. MARION in the chair: On the bill for procuring an additional number of arms.
The bill provides as follows: "That a sum of money not exceeding thousand dollars, be, and the same is hereby appropriated, out of any monies in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the purpose of procuring by purchase, or causing to be manufactured within the United States, and under the direction of the president of the United States an additional number of stands of arms, to be deposited in safe and suitable places."
Mr. Dawson moved that the blanks be filled with 120,000 dollars.
Mr. Burwell announced his intention to move another section appropriating 200,000 dollars for the purchase of arms from Europe if opportunity should offer.
Mr. Dawson then moved to insert 300,000 in this blank; and it was so filed, ayes 61.
Mr. Quincy moved to amend the bill by striking out "causing to be manufactured
within the United States" and insert "contracting for their manufacture within the United States or causing to be manufactured at the present manufactories for the United States."
[The reasons urged for this motion were that this bill now authorized the purchase by the U. States of private manufactories, which was not expedient, as the extension of the present manufactories of the U. S. would be both cheaper and produce better arms. The reasons urged against it were that it was proper to leave a discretion in this respect with the executive, and that it was essentially necessary to allow the establishment of a manufactory on the other side of the mountains, which might be precluded by the amendment.]
The amendment was carried forty six to forty four.
The committee then rose and reported the bill as amended.
The sum with which the blank was filled was agreed to without a division.
The amendment offered by Mr. Quincy and agreed to in committee of the whole, was negatived - 51 to 49.
Mr. Quincy, as the objection of western gentlemen to this amendment seemed to proceed from the supposed prohibition by it of the establishment of a manufactory beyond the mountains, proposed the following proviso:
Provided, That nothing in this act shall be construed to authorize the president of the U. S. to purchase any existing manufactories of arms within the U. S. Negatived, 49 to 42.
When the bill was ordered to a third reading to-morrow.
On motion of Mr. Basset, the house went into committee of the whole, Mr. Curtis in the chair, on the bill concerning public contracts.
Messrs. Basset and Troup supported the bill generally, and Messrs. Holland, Sloan and Kelly opposed it. In the course of the discussion Mr. Cook made a motion to strike out the first section of the bill; which was negatived, 57 to 41.
Mr. Quincy moved to strike out the proviso at the end of the first section excepting from the general restriction contracts in which immediate delivery is had and immediate payment made, &c.
A wide debate took place on this motion in which Messrs. Rowan and Quincy opposed the bill generally and Messrs. J. Clay, Fisk and Basset supported it.
On motion of Mr. Blackledge, the committee rose, ayes 59, and obtained leave to sit again.
Latest from Europe.
LONDON, January 2.
Paris journals to the 26th ult. arrived last night. Their contents are of considerable importance. Napoleon has returned from Venice to Milan, and from the latter place has issued a decree, dated the 17th ult. and which was published at Paris on the 24th, imposing new and severe restrictions on the trade of neutrals. This decree is followed by a letter from the minister of the interior calling on the people of the great nation to bear with the privations brought upon them by the war of blockade, and to turn their attention to the use of substitutes for those articles of which France may for a time be deprived by the operation of the order of council issued by the British government.
The style of these documents is curious; Napoleon's decree of blockade is kept in the background as to the share it had in producing the present derangements in commerce; the order of council is held up as the tyrannical act to which all the evils inflicted on the industrious pursuits of enterprising manufacturers and merchants are to be attributed; and the ships of all those nations which submit to the restrictions of the order of council, are declared to be denationalized! and therefore good and lawful prizes in the French ports, or when captured by French ships of war.
Against this decree there is no appeal on the ground of a vessel having been compelled by force to go into a British port, or to submit to search. On the contrary, for that very reason, all such vessels are to be condemned.
The motive of this decree cannot be ascribed to the hope of profiting by the petty seizures to which its execution may give rise. Napoleon plays a deeper game. He wars against the present system of commerce, because it gives resources to the only government that has dared to stand out against him. He knows the inconvenience to which this system will subject the people under his rule; but this is a sacrifice called for by the devotion of patriotism, and they are reminded that the army has suffered greater privations without a murmur. In other words, any remonstrance, if any shall be hardly enough to remonstrate against the measure, will receive its answer from the point of the bayonet. This he knows, will secure submission at home, and therefore the system is to be un-
deviatingly pursued for the grand object of ruining the commerce of England.
Private letters from France, of a very recent date were yesterday received. They mention an extraordinary movement of troops in every direction, the immediate object of which is not stated.
The Gazette will shortly contain some instructions to our merchants respecting the mode to be pursued in the trade to be carried on between this country and the Brazils. Liberty is to be given to ship and export such articles of traffic as have been heretofore usually sent and admitted into the Portuguese markets; and a regular commercial treaty will be concluded with all convenient speed. Lord Strangford is making preparations for his departure, and many of our first Portuguese houses are already preparing to establish their firms in Brazil.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2.
The British packet Norton, with dispatches from Mr. Rose sailed from New York on the 25th ult. with a fair, and a "STAGGERING BREEZE." She had sixteen passengers, 900,000. sterling in bills, and upwards of 6000 letters. Her safe arrival at Falmouth will be grateful news.
Our files of English papers received by the Romp, and the Clinton, contain a variety of articles of intelligence, which will be found under the proper head. It appears that Bonaparte's exertions have been very successful in Portugal and rumours are afloat that great dissatisfaction has been expressed at St. Petersburg on account of the rupture with England. This is a natural consequence. The extensive commercial intercourse which subsisted between the two nations being entirely stopped, must occasion discontent among the sufferers by the measure. General Miranda has again appeared on the stage, but it appears rather improbable that the British government, already beset with difficulties, could render the assistance to his plans, which is mentioned in one of the English papers. American vessels are placed in a disagreeable predicament by the decrees of Milan. The restrictions placed upon our commerce by the belligerent powers have shackled the American shipping with burdens too grievous to be borne. Should they not be speedily removed, a total cessation will be the consequence, and domestic enterprise succeed foreign trade. Nothing has transpired relative to the business at present on the carpet between Austria and England.
N. Y. Oracle.
The Rights of nations, (says a London paper) about which so many volumes have been written, are reduced to the simplest and most intelligible principles, as every nation has now a right to take what it can get, without the smallest regard to the old fashioned ideas of justice, friendship or humanity.
House of Representatives of the U. S.
A Journal of such proceedings as during the time they were depending, were ordered to be kept secret, and respecting which the injunction of secrecy was afterwards removed.
Friday, February 26.
A confidential message in writing was received from the president of the U. States, by Mr. Coles, his secretary, as follows:
To the senate and house of representatives of the U. S.
I enclose for the information of congress, letters recently received from our ministers at Paris and London, communicating their representations against the late decrees and orders of France and Great Britain, heretofore transmitted to congress. These documents will contribute to the information of congress, as to the dispositions of these powers, and the probable course of their proceedings towards neutrals; and will doubtless have their due influence in adapting the measures of the legislature to the actual crisis.
Although nothing forbids the general matter of these letters from being spoken of without reserve; yet as the publication of papers of this description would restrain injuriously the freedom of our foreign correspondence, they are communicated, so far confidentially, and with a request that after being read to the satisfaction of both houses, they may be returned.
TH: JEFFERSON.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Communicated for the Philadelphia Register.
Extract of a letter from London, received per Romp, arrived at New York, dated 5th Jan.
"The recent decree of Bonaparte, in opposition to our orders in council, of 11th November, will tend to increase the perplexities of your government. To go to war with both countries would be ridiculous—to attempt to defend your commerce by arming, or by convoys, equally so—to repel the aggressions of one power, while you submit to those of another, would be unjust as well as impolitic. My opinion is America will not go to war with either country, but will lay on an embargo, and perhaps impose such other restrictions on commerce, as shall secure her European trade from distress."
"Perhaps her true policy just now would be, to retire within herself, and wait the use of events—things cannot remain
long in their present state. While this country is comparatively at ease, very unanimous, and well able to carry on the war for twenty years (if Bonaparte so long lives)—the people on the continent are in a state of distress, that at any other period would never be endured. In Poland, they are dying by hundreds for actual want. In Holland, the butter (a staple article) is thrown upon the dunghills, for want of salt to preserve it—it is imagined, a cargo of St. Ubes salt, if it could elude our cruisers, would give a profit of three or four hundred per cent. for there is none in the country—they have hitherto been supplied by neutrals."
"There is no such thing as money on the continent; they are reduced to the primitive state of barter, on which account colonial produce does not bear so high a price for money, as might be expected—except cotton, for which they are beginning to be in very great distress. You will be surprised to hear that France has been accustomed to receive annually, more cotton from Portugal, than this country has, from the whole U. S. of America—How is she to obtain it now to supply her manufacturers for her immense population, who consume more cotton articles of dress than any other people in the world?—but the minister of the interior advises them to have recourse to Hemp and Flax!!"
"All the cotton of the Brazils will now come to this country; and it is understood can be afforded to be sold at 18d. per lb—a very consoling prospect this for the holders and shippers of cotton from America."
"The new crop of cotton just coming in from America is capital in quality, and fetches 15 a 16d. whilst old stocks won't sell for 13d. An embargo on your side, would improve prices materially."
"No person either buying or preparing goods for America. Flour 47s."
From the NORTH AMERICAN.
The following extract of a letter, from a gentleman at Washington to the editor, is a faithful picture of the present political crisis. We recommend to our readers to give it an attentive perusal, and on account of the means of information and luminous observation of the writer, to consider it as an epitome of the politics that actuate and control the cabinet of Washington.
Washington, 22d Feb. 1808.
"For some days a total stop has been put to the negotiations between the executive and Mr. Rose. The indisposition of Mr. Madison had delayed the final cessation. The British packet and the American advice-boat have at length orders to sail; and the messengers were sent off on Saturday morning, to carry the dispatches for these several vessels. The British packet will sail with those of the minister to his government, and the Osage, with those of our government to France."
"It was not until Friday evening that Mr. Rose surrendered the hope of making an accommodation with our executive. Every thing that honor and justice could demand, has been offered. An appeal was made to the common interest of the two countries; a common danger was represented to threaten both—that alike in the possession of a FREE government, the same fate would attend both; that the downfall of the supremacy of England on the ocean, would only be the prelude to the subjugation of America; that England might remain free and maintain her own independence, when America was overwhelmed by a confidence in her own security. Our government has taken high ground, and concedes not an inch. The spirit of accommodation exists only on the side of the British, and on ours a temper is manifested that forbids even humiliation to hope. Nothing but the destruction of the mistress of the ocean seems to be able to appease the inflexible pride of the cabinet of Washington. In the rancor of their personal enmity, they would first degrade Great Britain and then suffer her to be destroyed, although we follow her destinies and find our own destruction in hers. It was required on the part of the British, that a suspension of the operation of the proclamation should be made, whilst the negotiation was pending: that as the proclamation was a measure of retaliation exercised for redress, and redress was now offered, the proclamation should sleep, until amends were made by Mr. Rose, sent as a messenger of peace and friendship for that purpose. This was refused, unless Mr. Rose would previously state what that compensation was; which would have been to waive the point of honor, and to submit to degrade his nation by appearing in the character of a suppliant. Another point made by our executive, was to blend together the two questions of "satisfaction for the insult offered to the national flag, in the case of the Chesapeake," and "an arrangement for the search for British seamen on board of our merchantmen." By thus coupling the two questions together, our government took a ground that was calculated at once to stop all proceedings, unless the
British government was willing to seal its destruction, by conceding to us the essence of her existence, viz. the power of commanding the services of her seamen."
"For as the question was not to be separated, and as such, required in its copulative operation an unlimited acceptance or rejection, it placed the government of the United States, in a situation of saying to Great Britain, you must either consent to give up the right of search in our merchantmen, and do this as an atonement for the attack upon the Chesapeake; or you must refuse to surrender the right of taking your seamen from on board our merchantmen, and in doing so, refuse to heal the wounded honor of America by the attack on the Chesapeake. In either case our purpose is answered; for if you yield the right to take your seamen, and thereby silence the clamor raised about the Chesapeake, we will man our fleets. If you refuse to yield the right, and yet offer satisfaction for the attack on the Chesapeake, we will not treat with you: we will force you from the waters of the United States: we will deny you the rights of hospitality: we will shut out your manufactures from our ports: we will starve your colonies, and coerce you in every point within our power, until your subjugation shall be effected by France. In either situation, whether the negotiation, as it is placed by us be accepted or rejected, we think your destruction is certain. The position assumed by our government was, under existing circumstances, a measure unavoidable; for inclined as it is to France, any other step would have deranged the labor of years, under which our French politics have been formed."
"For it is well known that the British minister, previously to the departure of Mr. Monroe from London, signified "his regret for the attack made upon the Chesapeake," that "the act was unauthorised," and "the right disclaimed." The executive possessed the note some time before the last message of the president to congress, yet no notice is taken of it. The reason is obvious: it would have calmed the public mind, which views this point as the only one that can justify a rupture with Great Britain. Let it be known, that she has not only denied the aggression to have been committed by her authority, but disclaims, in the most unequivocal terms, the right of taking her seamen, even though mutineers and deserters, from on board our national ships; and you drive the executive from the only ground they can stand upon; you dissolve the charm by which public feeling directs its rage against Great Britain; and which, like an anodyne, lulls us into tranquillity, whilst France is violating every right we claim as a nation, free and independent; and whilst the Sampson of Europe is about to pull down the fabric of our republic."
"Such are the rumors of the day, and should they prove true they involve consequences at which the stoutest hearts may feel appalled, without the imputation of timidity. It is thought that Mr. Rose will be compelled to leave the country, that all appearance may cease of an eventual accommodation; and that France may know the exact dependence she can have upon us for a co-operation in her views."
"What adds to the general consternation is the intelligence said to be received by the executive, of the appearance of a number of French officers in the territory of Orleans. Some time since it was announced that these officers were expected, it is now said that the last advices from gov. Claiborne say they are arrived. The arrival of general Moreau had not taken place, but was looked for in a few days. His progress down the river had been but slow, as he stopped at several places on the way. Whether his visit be in co-operation with the officers already there, is yet to be determined; it is too much to be feared that it forms a part of that system, which is calculated to make the territory of the U. S. the scene of war, and its government an object for destruction. By some it is thought that the fate of Spain is to be subsequent to that of the U. S. that whilst Spain has its king on the throne, he may aid the emperor Napoleon with a detachment of the army of Mexico, for the subjection of N. Orleans; and with the same army the emperor will afterwards possess himself of Mexico. The French officers at N. Orleans may be on the lookout preparatory to striking the blow. They may be sounding the people, viewing the approach to Orleans and exploring the route to Mexico."
"Amidst these manifold dangers the executive alone looks round without fear or dismay. Although loud and reiterated the call upon the president for information touching our foreign relations, not a word escapes to warn us of our danger, or to call upon us to resist the threatened attack."
"A resolution is now before the house moved by Mr. Vandyke, requesting such information as the president may deem proper to make, thereby to enable the house to judge of the necessity of augmenting the military establishment. This necessary and reasonable call is opposed, and will it is feared be rejected, whilst at the same time the pages of the backstairs are soliciting those who call for information, to join in the vote for a military force which the president will not take upon himself to say is necessary. The bill for increasing the military establishment is a half way
measure, fitted neither for peace or war. It is to consist so far as I understand the bill, of 6,000 regulars and 25,000 militia from the volunteer corps, to be called into actual service and be encamped. With this force we are to meet a foe who strikes like lightning, and who sweeps a country with a devastation like an overwhelming tempest."
"Had I time I would give you the state of opinions relating to the election of our next president. I will soon write to you upon this subject. Mr. Monroe is coming out with a mass of evidence on facts that will alarm and astonish the country. Adieu, I must to the house."
Yours, &c
ANECDORE.
"Some time ago two professors of the university of Gottingen, one of whom was the celebrated scholar M. Martens, were deputed by the emperor Napoleon, to settle the preservation of the revenues and privileges of the university. On being introduced to the emperor the following dialogue took place."
EMPEROR—What, you are men of letters? MARTENS—Sir, we desire to be so. For myself I am only professor of the laws of nations in the university.
EMPEROR—You professor of the laws of nations? M. Martens; you are precisely the man I wished to see. What do you say as a publicist, to the atrocious act of G. Britain against Denmark?
MARTENS—Sir I have studied only the ancient law of nations—I am no judge of the modern law.

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, 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, same 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 c H. Lee.
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 of 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 5 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 latterly 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 lapse 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 ways to possess immediate aid. Seafaring 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 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 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 Calton.
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 Dobbin 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, 1803.
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 Dobbin 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.
