AN ADDRESS
TO THE
PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES;
Tending to shew that by a due encouragement of these essential interests, the nation will be rendered more respectable abroad and more prosperous at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Columbia.
AT a time when the energies of the nation seem awakened to the state of our foreign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a considerable share of the public discussion. Certainly it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign affairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their support. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our province to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.

From the Baltimore Federal Republican.
"America is on high ground: The existence of the British government now rests on us! Her life, which by her crimes she has forfeited, is now in our hands, and she is completely at our mercy! It is in the power of the present administration to immortalize their names, and bring upon their memory the blessing of unborn millions."
It is upon such crazy speculations, which haunt the imagination of political fanatics, that the present policy of administration is founded. When the last treaty, which with great difficulty was obtained by our ministers in England, was contumeliously rejected by Mr. Jefferson, the most ridiculous ideas were circulated of Great Britain's supposed dependence upon this country. Were these ideas confined to speculation, we should surely pity the folly in which they were engendered, but being adopted as a rule of action, they have led to events whose mournful consequences convert our pity into alarm and detestation. It has been asserted by the humble admirers of Mr. Jefferson, that the mistress of the ocean held her existence as tenant at will to our President. Under such an expectation, the extravagant folly of which is unrivaled in the annals of political visionaries, England was to sink in a contest to which her resources were inadequate. But fortunately for the independence of those few countries which have not been ingulfed in the vortex of Gallic tyranny, the resources of England are not so easily exhausted.
Governed by the opinions above mentioned, and giving full scope to a mean and malignant hatred, our undaunted President refused to meet England upon any terms but those the most disgraceful to her honor and detrimental to her interests. Artfully preserving
the exterior appearance of seeking to accommodate our differences, he secretly endeavored to promote them. He is terrified at the idea of a war with France, and he knew that the greatest provocation which could be given to Buonaparte would be a treaty with England.
As a gloss for his conduct the President advanced pretensions, which, whether just or unjust, he knew would never be submitted to by the ministry of England. As the sine qua non of a treaty, he required an article which would have annihilated the maritime power upon which the safety of Great Britain depends. Could it then be expected, that such a condition would be accepted? or, is it so essential to their interests, that we will rashly engage in a war for its attainment, — a war of EXTERMINATION? Great Britain has maintained the right of search for half a century; France has done the same; and all the neutral nations of Europe has submitted — President Washington would not oppose it at the hazard of war. He undoubtedly lamented it as an evil consequent upon the existing state of the civilized world; but he was perfectly conscious, that the time was not expedient for an attempt to alter the maritime law of nations in this respect. The most enlightened statesmen have assented to the wisdom of his conduct, declaring that such difficult and intricate points of negotiation should be deferred until Europe became more settled and tranquil.
Such is not the policy of Mr. Jefferson. He is willing to plunge the nation in a war, in pursuit of an object which he knows to be unattainable. At every hazard to this country he indulges his personal antipathies and predilections.
It is beyond our purpose at this time to enter into a full discussion of this matter. We present to our readers a series of papers, in which the impropriety of rejecting the treaty and the destructive consequences of a war with England will be fully examined.
It is certainly easy of demonstration that the destructive embargo, which has annihilated the commerce of our country, and all the train of evils and sufferings which follow with it, have been induced by the contumelious rejection of the treaty and a mean and dastardly submission to French insolence and outrage.
FROM THE ST. ALBANS ADVISER.
At a general convention of the commissioned officers of the third brigade in the third division of militia of Vermont, June 17, 1808.
Resolved, That the situation of this brigade requires an address to the public, stating the abuses and indignities which they have received from unfounded charges of insurrection, bribery, &c. and from recent military measures, by which the officers and soldiers of this brigade have been publicly denounced as unworthy of public confidence or public employment.
Resolved, That colonel Bradley Barlow, major Zerah Willoby, major Carter Hickok, captain Abner Morton and lieut. Joseph Becman, jun. be a committee to draft such address.
The convention then adjourned for one hour, at the expiration of which time, the committee made the following REPORT:
TO THE PUBLIC.
THIS address is dictated neither by political or party motives, nor by a disposition to encrease the popular jealousy, which at the present alarming crisis is so generally felt, but by a sincere desire to manifest to the world that we and our soldiers ever have been, now are, and will continue to be, prompt in obedience to the laws of our country, faithful in its service, and proud of standing in front of its defence. That such are our sentiments, and such our determinations, we trust is sufficiently evident from our past conduct; and we now, as men, as citizens, as soldiers, hold ourselves in readiness for the public service. Yet for all this our reward is indiscriminate abuse and unqualified reproach.
It appears that on the first of April last the collector of Alburgh officially received the non-intercourse law passed by congress on the 12th of March last; that on the same day he addressed a letter to Mr. Secretary Gallatin, stating, that having consulted certain law characters on the subject, it was thought impossible to execute that law without a military force. Out of this letter, it seems, grew the president's proclamation, by which the peaceable and quiet citizens of this frontier section of the union, were transformed into conspirators, insurgents and rebels, against the laws of their country.
In consequence of this proclamation, orders were inmediately issued by the captain general of this state, for a detachment of militia from the first regiment in this brigade, to be stationed at Windmill Point, for the ostensible purpose of reducing to law and order, our misrepresented and degraded
citizens. These orders were executed without a moment's delay, and our detachment acquitted themselves with honor. But notwithstanding their ability and fidelity as soldiers, they could not command the wind and waves, and consequently could not prevent the passage of rafts and potash into Canada. It was therefore concluded, that more troops must be raised; but, said the movers of these extraordinary measures, the militia of this part of the state cannot be trusted; they are too easily bribed; they are too much interested, and will not kill their neighbors and friends, in order to enforce the law. And after further consultation, in which military gentlemen were studiously neglected, it was resolved that the public safety required the presence of troops from the southward; these troops, it was said, would kill when ordered, and could not be bribed.
Pursuant to this policy, a detachment of one hundred and fifty men, from the county of Rutland, were ordered to military stations within the limits of this insulted brigade, and are now scattered about among us in little standing armies, subject to the orders of the collector of the revenue.
This is a brief statement of facts, and such are the singular indignities which have been heaped on the meritorious soldiery of this brigade.
Thus situated, our characters as men, and as soldiers, being thus wantonly traduced; our silence, at such a time, and under such circumstances, would be deservedly construed into an acquiescence in the justice of these aspersions.
At home, and where we are known, we fear not the consequences as they respect us personally; but abroad, and with strangers, these vile fabrications are received as truths. We are therefore compelled by every manly and ingenuous sentiment, thus publicly to declare, that we knew the foreign charges of insurrection, bribery, &c. to be wholly unfounded, and that we consider them as the legitimate productions of a contemptible yet dangerous policy, adopted and pursued by those, whose governing object is not the good of their country. Such are our feelings, and such are our opinions and sentiments. Yet we ask not our countrymen to adopt our feelings, or our opinions; we ask them to enquire, to reflect, and to act for themselves; we conceive ourselves abused and insulted beyond example.
In the first place unfounded reports of combinations, conspiracies and insurrections among us, were fabricated and industriously spread; and then, at great expense to the public, troops were raised and marched from a distance of one hundred and twenty miles; thus the soldiery of this frontier brigade were treated with contemptuous neglect, but with open, direct, and most degrading insult.
All this has been done, and that too, without a cause; but an object there must have been. "This mighty maze is not without a plan." What this object was, we pretend not to say; only that we have too much reason to fear, that private speculation at the expence of the public good, and under the sanction of the laws, is amongst the least of the evils contemplated.
If insurrection, rebellion, perjury and bribery were our rallying points, we must have been prepared for the blackest deeds that blot the page of history; and in this light have we been represented. Lawless in design, we must have been desperate in execution; and against such an host of what avail would have been a hundred and fifty militia? Instead of being suffered to reach their destined stations, they must have fled from our sedulous borders, or fallen sacrifices to our rebellious arms. If we are justly accused of these crimes, the honor of our country calls for our trial and condemnation — these partial military measures do not in the proper punishment.
But let our calumniators reflect, that in times of foreign aggression, or domestic opposition and insurrection, the protection of our rights, the defence of our country, and the authority of our laws, ultimately depend on our militia; and to trifle with the reputation of this class of citizens, or directly or even impliedly to call in question their fidelity and patriotism, is essentially weakening the strongest defence of our republican institutions. When the spirits of our militia are broken by unprovoked insult and abuse, if military force should be necessary, standing armies must be established; and where their tents are pitched, liberty must quit the field. These are considerations in which the public are too deeply interested, long to behold, with indifference, our present debased situation.
With regard to our fellow soldiers from the county of Rutland, as they were prompt in their compliance with the requisitions of government, we honor and revere them; as they are noble and soldier-like in their de-
portment amongst us, we esteem and respect them.
We have now only to add, that we have ever been true & faithful to the state of Vermont; that we have ever supported the constitution of the United States; that we ever have, and ever will, with becoming freedom, express our sentiments of public men and of public measures; and that we will, whenever we conceive that our duty requires it, drag from their lurking places, the insidious workers of political iniquity, and place before the bar of public censure and contempt, the infamous revilers of true and loyal citizens. In this work, our tongues and our pens may with propriety be employed — our swords are reserved for the open enemies of our country; and they never shall be drawn in opposition to the government of our choice.
In confirmation of these sentiments and these determinations, we have hereunto individually and officially subscribed, this 17th day of June, 1808.
Resolved, That this convention do accept the report of their committee, and that it be printed in the St. Albans Adviser, with a request to the several printers throughout the United States, to publish the same in their respective papers.

COL. BURR ONCE MORE.
THIS gentleman has been food for curiosity and a subject of political speculation for many a year; but he had vanished from our sight ever since he made his disappearance in the state of Ohio from the aversion he had to strong-houses. He had gone, for aught we knew, to resist the antipodes; but all of a sudden he presents himself to public view in the capital of Nova Scotia. You have told us Messrs. Printers that Mr. Burr, or Mr. —, appeared in Halifax; for he is one of the extensive family of the alias's, but you have not proceeded to inform us what is the object of his peregrinations. Now you must have known that all the twists and motions of that gentleman have been regarded as very important, ever since he took the lead in opposition to the administration of general Washington; ever since he became a full blooded democrat, and attempted to mend a broken fortune by leading a party. Ever since he gave proofs of his sagacity and his morals, by discovering according to the common proverb, on which side his bread was buttered, and by sticking like dirt to the buttered side. The history of this man affords an instructive lesson to the moralist and politician. But since you have not told us what Mr. Burr is going to do next, you will suffer me to travel in the field of conjecture, and to account for his present voyage.
It is known that two of col. Burr's confidential friends left this city for London, one after the other a considerable time ago; and it is now admitted that col. Burr privately slipped himself in the last British Packet for Falmouth. What was his object in going to England? To this question several answers have been alledged. His business beyond controversy was political. He did not go to practice law for he could not be permitted. He did not go to see the world and spend money, for obvious reasons, nor is he engaged in mercantile speculations. Neither did he go in the hope of getting assistance from England in forwarding his old project of raising a little empire for himself, by severing the inhabitants of the western states, from their fellow citizens on the Atlantic states. This I say is not his business, because he must know that the British government will not assist him in it. They would not assist him, because they have no inclination to make war against the U. S. nor would they assist him for a better reason, viz. because they could not be profited by the measure. I confide that he has changed his plan. He will declare when he arrives in London, that he never intended to separate the western states from those upon the Atlantic. His object was to prepare a small army, who would be in readiness to invade Mexico, as soon as the United States should proclaim war with Spain; a measure that appeared certain considering the insults they had received. This by the way is the very story he told to most of the people he enlisted on the Ohio. He will go on to say, and it may be said with truth, which he does not dislike, when it fits him best, that thousands of people on the western waters are hungry for Mexican dollars; that nothing could please them more than a visit to Santa Fe. That if Great Britain will send a fleet into

Gulph of Mexico with a small army to land on the coast, to the northward of Vera Cruz; he will make a powerful diversion in their favor, with his American volunteers, by attacking Santa Fe: so that a little time they may be in full possession of both the Mexicos. It will be understood that Great Britain is to furnish col. Burr and his men with a sufficient supply of arms and ammunition. They will also need a small supply of money. Being thus provided they will laugh at the punyings of general Wilkinson and all the impediments of the run boats, the embargo and all their friends. NESTOR.
BOSTON, July 11. Extract of a letter from captain Rowland Pierce, master of the schr. Agnes of Boston from hence bound to N. Orleans. HAVANNA, June 7th, 1808. "In lat. 26, long. 73, was boarded by a Spanish privateer and robbed of the greater part of my provisions, wood and water, and very inhumanely treated; which compelled me to come into this port for those articles, without which I could not proceed on my passage. I shall sail in 24 hours for New Orleans." Also a passenger on board the Agnes writes to a friend thus: "We were boarded on the coast by a British frigate, and treated well: in the Gulph Stream experienced a very heavy gale, which lasted three days; was struck by a heavy sea, that hurt our vessel very much, and almost killed her with water; but which we fortunately survived. In lat. 26, long. 73, was boarded from the Spanish privateer Serpent from St. Jago de Cuba, who plundered us of three boat loads of provisions, wood and water; of water we had barely enough to last us on our passage. They took from us two hogheads, and left us only a few gallons that was spoiled, saying they were in pursuit of an English homeward bound fleet and could not lose the chance of making their fortunes. They abused us very much for not heaving to until four shot were fired at us. Being left in this situation, capt. Pierce was forced to make the first port, which was this, where we arrived in 37 days from Boston."
PHILADELPHIA, July 14. Yesterday evening arrived at the Lazaretto brig Ariadne, Cullen, from St. Croix, and 17 days from St. Thomas. Four days ago, off cape Hatteras, parted from the brig Elizabeth, Campbell, from St. Croix. She is now below. Schooner Hannah, Willis, 15 days from St. Croix. This day arrived schooner Clementia, Oliver, 8 days from St. Bartholomews. Captain Willis sailed from St. Croix the 28th ult. in company with brig Commerce, Little, brig Sally, Ellsworth, and sloop Wilcock, of Boston, unloading; brig Mary Ann, Allen, of Newport, unloading; brig Thomas, Hotwater, of New Haven, loading; schooner Sally of Portland, came in under English colors from Halifax, with 470 bbls. of flour and some fish, and sloop from do. with flour and fish; a schr. of Portland, sailed for Halifax the 27th ult. to bring from thence flour, fish, &c. the vessel had no name on her stern, nor would the captain tell his or her name—on the 27th ult. an hermaphrodite brig lay off and on, having an English jack flying as a signal for a pilot—she sent in her boat but sailed the next day towards St. Thomas—the pilot that spoke her said she had Salem on her stern. A small American built brig went into St. Croix as the Hannah came out—said she was last from Barbadoes, loaded with fish, &c. to Newfoundland.

July 15. We yesterday mentioned the arrival of the British June Packet at Halifax. Capt. Carman, arrived at this port from Passamaquoddy, says, that he there saw a London paper, brought by the Packet, which stated that Mr. ROSE was to return to America, with plenipotentiary powers, in the Latona frigate—and that Copenhagen had been again taken possession of by the British.—Capt. Carman is well known in this city, as a man of veracity. It is said the Packet arrived in the short passage of seventeen days.
WASHINGTON, (N. C.) July 5. In the county of Schoharie, at a late sheriff's sale, horses, horned cattle, farming utensils, &c. to the amount of 300 dollars, were sold for fifty-five dollars, and in Montgomery, upwards of 100 bushels of wheat, seized on execution, were sold for one shilling and nine pence per bushel. We state these two instances, among many
which we could mention, as having recently taken place.

MONDAY, JULY 18.
MR. SNOWDEN, NOTHING is more common than to see pea vines or haulm wasted, by being suffered to rot in the garden, or thrown on the dunghill: they make good fodder in winter, either for sheep, cows or horses.
By the Domestic Encyclopedia I find that "considerable advantages might likewise be derived from the use of compressed fodder, invented by Mr. Lawson of London. This consists of the haulms of peas, beans, potatoes, and the tops of carrots, which after being cut off and dried, are mixed with certain portions of bruised corn, hay, fir tops, bran and broken oil cake, and then formed into a stack, with clover, either in layers, or intermingled with that plant. To these articles Mr. Lawson directs a quantity of straw to be added, in order to prevent the compressed food from becoming mouldy, together with a small portion of common salt, which will both preserve and improve the fodder."
In my next I shall communicate some observations on potatoes, and the advantage of the haulm as a good food for cows.

This day a French government messenger landed at the navy yard from on board a corvette of 18 guns and 170 men, in 41 days from Bordeaux. On her arrival she fired a salute which was returned.
This vessel is last from the French islands, and brings despatches from the government of Martinique for General Turreau. It is not known that she brings any advices from Bordeaux from whence she first sailed. It is not understood that there are any despatches for this government.
Monitor, July 16.
Extract of a letter from Antigua, dated June 20, 1808.
"We have had favorable supplies of corn, flour and fish from the Western Islands, and by accident from the United States; several cargoes are yet unsold. It appears the longer the embargo continues the less we feel the want of provisions, and in our last papers Antigua corn was advertised for sale on the plantations at 22s. 6d. per barrel. The planters have prospects of a good crop of that article, and when there is a sufficiency of corn and such large supplies of fish from Halifax, we cannot starve."
Capt. J. H. Norton, who arrived at Sag Harbor, on Friday from Machias, informs that he saw there a hand bill, issued from St. John's, which gave an account of a great naval engagement in the Mediterranean, in which the French were defeated. The English acknowledge to have lost 5000 men, and three ships which blew up during the engagement.
The following extract of a letter from St. Croix is from a gentleman of the first respectability at that place, to his friend in this city. It confirms, beyond all doubt, the intelligence before received on this important subject.— N. YORK GAZ.
EXTRACT—St. Croix, June 23. "By a vessel arrived at Trinidad which left Gibraltar, about 20th May, it is reported that violent commotions had taken place in Spain in consequence of the French having attempted to carry off the prince of Asturias lately declared king, as a prisoner to France, and that a number of French troops had been massacred in different places; in consequence of which Bonaparte was carrying fire and sword through that devoted country. Such was the consternation, it is said, that the people of Cadiz were in, that they had sent an offer to Gibraltar to deliver up the city and fleet to us, and that lord Collingwood and general Spencer had actually left that fortress with a competent number of ships and five thousand men to carry into effect this important measure."
"It is not at all surprising that the state of extreme wretchedness to which the people of Spain are reduced by the detestable tyrant and his minions, should drive them to acts of the highest desperation."
"Flour was down to 12 and 15 dollars per barrel."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Havanna to the President of the Marine Insurance Company of Norfolk, dated 11th June, 1808.
"The French privateers capture and bring into the ports of this island, under the French Decrees, all vessels bound from any British port. The General Butler and cargo (from Liverpool to New Orleans) have been condemned at Vera Cruz on that ground,
and the brig Ocean, captain Waldin of Kennebec with 290 puncheons of rum, bound from Jamaica to Boston, has been sent into Trinidad in this island by a French privateer on the same ground."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the army, at the Cantonment, on the Missouri, dated the 30th of May last.
Boats arrive every day from the Indian country, giving an account of the Indians murdering whites, such as traders, hunters, &c, they represent them as extremely impudent, saucy and overbearing. We have had between three and four hundred here for some time past, who are making preparations to go to war, with some of the nations higher up the Missouri, and have been leaving here for two or three days for that purpose.
It is at length announced, in a manner to require belief, that Duane, the editor of the Aurora, has been appointed by the president, a lieutenant-colonel of the first regiment of riflemen, in the service of the U. States. This instance of disregard of the public opinion, and contempt of the claims of veteran merit, was not wanting to complete the melancholy picture of a weak and partial administration. This man is unfortunately too well known to render necessary any illustration of that conduct and character, which have probably recommended him to this distinction, but which would have been hateful to every candid and honorable mind. He has been the hardened reviler of Washington, but in this he only acted as the pioneer of Mr. Jefferson. He is the open and steady advocate of France, France, with whom we are in a state of war, so far as it depends upon her; but in this he only responds to the feelings of Mr. Jefferson, his patron. He was a fellow laborer in the Aurora, with Callender; but Callender was caressed and rewarded by Mr. Jefferson, and why should the merits of Mr. Duane be passed over. It is true that he has stigmatized in his infamous Aurora, every head of a general department in the executive; but then he has hitherto spared the president himself. How long his forbearance will continue must depend upon the care taken to appease and mollify him. Let them however take a warning from Callender. The abandonment of the candidate for the presidency for whom Duane professes a preference, and the undertaking to uphold another, whom both in public and private, he has treated with the grossest ignominy and reproach, was beyond a doubt pleasing to him from whom the appointment flowed as a reward.
Having thus far remarked upon the motives for the predilection for this libeller—let us look round and see who have been slighted. Officers of the revolutionary war, have you not a claim upon your country, for rewards and distinction in her service, in preference to a despised foreigner and a degraded man? Show your honorable scars, make manifest your poverty, and shame the act of preference. Was it for this, that the circulars of the secretary of war were dispatched to the select bands of congressmen in order to nominate the most eligible?
There may be found a difficulty in getting officers to serve under Duane; but happily none is to be anticipated, by the magnanimous col's. being placed under so honorable and immaculate a commander as Wilkinson. They appear to have been born for one another; Wilkinson to be commander in chief over Duane, and Duane colonel under Wilkinson. Woe be to that country, which confides its safety on such defence.
On Monday we shall take the liberty to give some sketches of the commander in chief, under the oath of a most respectable gentleman. We shall make the blood of our readers boil, or we are unacquainted with the common feelings of the human heart.

Nineteen years ago, THIS DAY, July 14, the Bastille was levelled to the ground by a Parisian populace! What is now the situation of the world? Millions since that period have fallen to gratify the worst of passions! Human blood has inundated Europe—and Europe is now in no better situation—Indeed, the tyranny and unaccountable success of Napoleon threatens the universe with destruction—the unoffending do not escape his wrath—ALL is levelled before his mighty power!—May a MIGHTIER power interfere, and save!

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years has been celebrated throughout the United States; celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 1, Bond-street, Philadelphia
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle 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. Moltner 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 wearing 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 most 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. Tiffot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common lapse of mankind is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid: Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and
will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely , of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland ; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife ; and Mrs. Ryan , of 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 to 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, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy , from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affection, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply to 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.

Forty Dollars Reward.
ELOPED from the subscriber's farm near Alexandria, on the morning of the 4th inst a NEGRO MAN named
JOHN,
About 21 years of age, hired by me from William Hepburn—He was formerly employed by Hepburn and Dandas as their wagoner.—He is a stout well made fellow, about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, with large, thick, pouting lips, a flat nose, large nostrils and is very black—He has a mark resembling a corn on the side of each of his feet near the little toe and stutters when spoken to hastily or when taken by surprise—He had on when he eloped, an old osnaburg shirt, new osnaburg trowsers and an old wool hat, and also took with him two woollen jackets, one of them blue, the other brown, a pair of nankeen pantaloons and an old castor hat—It is probable he had other cloathes which he may have taken off with him.
From the information I have received, I expect he has either crossed the bridge over the Potomac at the Little falls, with an intention of going to Baltimore, or has passed the ferry at Alexandria, & made for Port Tobacco in Maryland. A person answering the above description has been seen on both these roads. I will give the above reward for apprehending the said negro if he is taken above forty miles from Alexandria, and twenty dollars if taken within a less distance from Alexandria and without the district of Columbia and county of Fairfax; and 10 dollars if taken within either of the two last mentioned places upon his delivery to me in Alexandria, or upon his being secured so that I can get him again.
