RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. "We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction." Evangelical Magazine, Oct. 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, man contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

REPORT Of the Secretary of the Treasury.
In obedience to the directions of the act supplementary to the act, intitled "An act to establish the Treasury Department," the Secretary of the Treasury respectfully submits the following
REPORTS AND ESTIMATES.
The net revenue arising from duties on merchandise and tonnage which accrued during the year 1806, amounted to
$ 16,615,430
And that which accrued during the year 1807, amounted, as will appear by the statement (A) to
16,059,924
The same revenue, after deducting that portion which arose from the duty on salt and from the additional duties constituting the Mediterranean fd. amounted during the year 1806, to
14,848,784
And during the year 1807, to 14,375,855 But it is ascertained that the nett revenue which accrued during the three first quarters of the year 1808, did not exceed eight millions of dollars, and is daily decreasing.
The statement (B) exhibits in detail the several species of merchandise and other sources, from which that revenue was collected during the year 1807.
It appears by the statement (C) that the sales of the public lands have, during the year ending on the 30th of September 1808, amounted to about 200,000 acres; and the payments by purchasers to near 250,000 dollars. The proceeds of sales in the Mississippi territory, being, after deducting the surveying and other incidental expences, appropriated in the first place to the payment of a sum of 1,250,000 dollars to the state of Georgia, are distinctly stated.
It appears by the statement (D) that the payments on account of the principal of the public debt, have during the same period amounted to only 2,335,000 dollars. But the payments from the treasury for the annual reimbursement of the six per cent. and deferred stocks, and for the final reimbursement of the 8 per cent. stock will (exclusively of a sum of 730,000 dollars already in the hands of the treasurer as agent for the commissioners of the sinking fund) amount, during the last quarter of this year, to 15,376,000 dollars. Making the total of public debt reimbursed from the first April, 1801, to the first of January, 1809, about thirty three millions six hundred thousand dollars, exclusively of more than 6,000,000 paid during the same period, in conformity with the provisions of the treaty and convention with Great Britain, and of the Louisiana convention.
The public debt will, on the first day of January, 1809, amount to 56,647,663 dollars, consisting of the following items:
  Old six per cent. stock. Nom. amt. 20,706,603 22.   Unredeemed dolls. 11,919,877 57   Def. st. amt. 11,717,476 92   Unredeemed 9,386, 627 08   New 6 per ct. st. exchanged at par for old 6 and deferred stock 5,995,343 50   New 6 per cent stock arising from conversion of 3 per cent stock at 65 new six for 100 three per ct. stock, 1796, six per cent stock, Louisiana do. 1,859,770,70 80,000 11,250,000   Total six per cent. stock, 40,489 618 85   Three per cent. stock, 16,158,044 42   56,647,663 27 
The interest on the whole debt and the annual reimbursement on the six per cent. and deferred stocks, will, for the ensuing year, amount to 4,226,000 dollars, leaving, in order to complete the annual appropriation of 8,000,000 of dollars, a sum of 3,774,000 dollars, applicable to the reimbursement of the new exchanged six per cent. stock. The whole of that and of the other new six per cent. arising from the conversion of three per cent. stock, amounting together to 7,853,000 dollars, would thus be reimbursed within two years. And after the first day of January, 1811, the whole annual amount payable on account of interest and
annual reimbursement, could not, during the seven ensuing years, exceed 3,756,000 dollars. But under existing circumstances it is believed that the reimbursement of that new six per cent. stock will be nominal, and must be effected by incurring a new debt to an equal amount.
The actual receipts into the treasury, during the year ending the 30th of Sept. 1808, as they principally arose from the revenue accrued during the preceding year (and the payments on account of drawback having been diminished by the embargo) have been greater than those of any preceding year, and amounted to $17,952,419 90
And the specie in the treasury on the 1st Oct. 1807, amounted to
8,529,573 08
Making together 26,481,992 98
The disbursements during the same period have amounted to 12,635,275 46, consisting of the following items:
  Civil department & miscellaneous expences 1,258,967 18   Foreign intercourse & payment of American claims assumed by the Louisiana convention, 406,499 27   Military and Indian departments, including fortifications and the expences of the new army 3,023,759 55   Nav. dep. including the appropriation $677,064 47, to cover the deficit of the preceding year, 2,257,064 47   Public debt, principal and interest (the greater part of the payments for the year 1808, falling as already stated in the last quarter) have amounted only to 5,683,984 89   12,635,275 46   Leaving a balance in the treasury on the 30th Sept. 1808, of 13,846,717 52   $ 26,481,992 98 
The cash in the hands of collectors and receivers, and the outstanding revenue bonds, which almost altogether fall due prior to the first of January 1810, may after deducting the debentures yet unpaid, and the expences of collection, be estimated to have amounted, on the 30th of Sept. 1808, to
10,300,000
Making, together the balance in the treasury on that day of
13,846,000
An aggregate of
24,346,000
Although the expences of the present quarter cannot at present be precisely ascertained, they will not, including the reimbursement of five millions three hundred and seventy six thousand dollars, on account of the
principal of the pub. debt, exceed
$3,346,000
Leaving on the first day of Jan. 1809, a sum of
16,000,000
Sixteen millions of dollars in cash or bonds payable during the year 1808, and applicable to the expences of that year. It is presumed that the receipts arising from importations and payments for lands subsequent to the 30th Sept. 1808, will not be greater than the deductions on account of bad debts and of the extension of credit on certain articles.
The expences of the year 1809, would, according to the appropriation already made and to the usual annual estimates, amount to thirteen millions of dollars, consisting of the following items:
  I. Civil list and miscellaneous expences, 200,000   II. Foreign intercourse, 500,000   III. Grants by Congress and other miscellaneous unforeseen demands, 150,000   IV. Military and Indian departments, 2,756,000   V. Naval department, 1,044,000   VI. Annual appropriation for the public debt, 8,000,000   $ 13,000,000 
Leaving a surplus of only three millions of dollars for defraying all the expences for fortifications, military stores, increase of the army and navy, or otherwise incident to a state of actual war, or of preparations for war.
The annual appropriation on account of the public debt, amounting to eight millions, and the interest for the year 1809, being less than three millions of dollars; an authority to borrow five millions would only create a new debt equal to the principal of old debt reimbursed during that year, and appears sufficient to provide for any deficiency arising from the extraordinary expences which may be thus authorised by Congress.
It thus appears, that notwithstanding the general warfare of the belligerent powers against neutral nations, and the consequent suspension of commerce which took place in the latter end of the year 1807, and notwithstanding the increased rate of expenditure naturally arising from that state of things; the ordinary revenue will have been sufficient to defray all the expences of the years 1808 and 1809, including for 1808 a reimbursement of a debt exceeding six millions of dollars, and without making any additions to that debt in 1809. The measures necessary to be adopted in order to make a timely provision for the service of the ensuing years, depend on the course which the United States will pursue in relation to foreign aggressions. And that being yet unascertained, it becomes necessary to examine the several alternatives left to the choice of Congress.
Either the navigation of the ocean will be abandoned by the U. S. or it will be resumed.
The first supposition is that of a continuance of the embargo of the vessels of the United States, and admits of two alternatives.
 1. Either a provision generally forbidding exportations, may continue to make part of the system, in which case, importations whether expressly interdicted or not, must, for want of the means of payment, be also discontinued.  2. Or exportations and corresponding importations may be permitted in foreign vessels. 
The second supposition also offers two alternatives. It may indeed be admitted that the decrees of France can be enforced only in her own territories, and in those of her allies; that however efficient in preventing any commerce between the United States and herself, those decrees cannot materially affect that between her enemies and the United States, and may therefore in that respect be disregarded. But Great-Britain having the means of enforcing her orders on the ocean, the navigation of that element cannot be resumed without encountering those orders; and they must either be submitted to or resisted. There can be no middle way between those two courses.
 3. Either America must accept the portion of commerce allotted to her by the British edicts, and abandon all that is forbidden, (and it is not material whether this be done by legal provisions limiting the commerce of the United States to the permitted places) or, by acquiescing in the capture of vessels, stepping beyond the prescribed bounds. 
4. Or the nation must oppose force to the execution of the orders of England, and this, however done, and by whatever name called, will be war.
Of those four alternatives, the second and third differ neither in principle, nor in the effect on the revenue. As both plans consist in permitting partial exportations and importations, it must be acknowledged that objectionable as that course may be in other respects, if considered merely in relation to the fiscal concerns of the union, it will at the moment be attended with less difficulty than either the present system or war. For however narrow the limits to which, on the plan, the exportations and importations of the U. S. may be reduced, yet there will still be some commerce, and some revenue arising from commerce. And as, in pursuing that humble path, means of defence will become unnecessary, as there will be no occasion for either an army or a navy, it is believed that there would be no difficulty in reducing the public expenditure to a rate corresponding with the fragments of import which might still be collected. If the course be adopted, no other provision seems necessary, than an immediate reduction of expences.
The system now in force, and war, however dissimilar in some respects, are both considered as resistance. Nor is it believed that their effect on national wealth and public revenue would be materially different. In either case a portion, and a portion only of the national industry and capital, heretofore employed in the production, transportation, and exchange of agricultural products, or in the foreign carrying trade, can immediately be diverted to other objects. In case of a continuance of the embargo and non-exportation, either a less quantity of commodities must be produced or a portion will accumulate until the freedom of commerce shall be restored. In case of war, that surplus will be exported; and although a part must be lost by capture, a portion of the returns will be received. If the embargo and suspension of commerce shall be continued, the revenue arising from commerce will, in a short time, entirely disappear. In case of war some part of that revenue will remain; but it will be absorbed by the increase of public expenditure. In either case, new resources, to an amount yet unascertained, must be resorted to. But the assertion that, that amount will be nearly the same in either of the two alternatives of embargo or war, is correct only on the supposition, that the embargo and non-exportation are, after a certain time, to be superseded by war, unless foreign aggressions shall cease; and that rendering, therefore, preparations for war necessary, they require a rate of expenditure far beyond that of a peace establishment.
If, however, the embargo and non-intercourse are to have equal continuance with the belligerent edicts, indefinite as that is; if it be determined to rely exclusively on that measure, and at all events not to risk a war on account of those aggressions, preparations for war will become useless, and the extraordinary expences need not be incurred. In that case, the expenditure for the year 1809 ought not to exceed the sum of thirteen millions of dollars which, as has been stated, is requisite for the support of the present establishment. And this would leave for the service of the year 1809, the above mentioned surplus of three millions, and the proposed loan of 5 millions, which, together, would be sufficient to defray the peace establishment, and to pay the interest of the public debt during that year. Thus two years more would be provided for, without increasing the public debt, or laying any new taxes. It is certainly only with a view to war, either immediate or contemplated, that it will become necessary to resort, at least to any considerable extent, to extraordinary sources of supply.
Legitimate resources can be derived only from loans or taxes: and the reasons which induce a belief, that loans should be principally relied on, in case of war, were stated in the annual report of last year. That opinion has been corroborated by every subsequent view which has been taken of the subject, as by the present situation of the country. The embargo has brought into and kept in the U. States, almost all the floating property of the nation. And whilst the depreciated value of domestic products increases the difficulty of raising a considerable revenue by internal taxes, at no former time has there been so much specie, so much redundant, unemployed capital, in the country. The high price of public stocks, and indeed of all species of stocks, the reduction of the public debt, the unimpaired credit of the general government, and the large amount of the existing bank stock in the U. States, leave no doubt of the practicability of obtaining the necessary loans on reasonable terms.
The geographical situation of the United

States, their history since the revolution, and above all, present events, remove every apprehension of frequent wars. It may therefore be confidently expected, that a revenue derived solely from duties on importations, though necessarily impaired by war, will always be amply sufficient, during long intervals of peace, notably to defray current expenses, but also to reimburse the debt contracted during the few periods of war.
No internal taxes, either direct or indirect, are therefore contemplated, even in the case of hostilities carried against the two great belligerent powers. Exclusively of the authority which must, from time to time, be given to borrow the sums required (always providing for the reimbursement of such loans within limited periods) and of a due economy in the several branches of expenditure, nothing more appears necessary than such modifications, and increase of the duties on importations, as are naturally suggested by existing circumstances.
1. Although importations have already considerably diminished, and may, under the system now in force, shortly be altogether discontinued, no reasonable objection is conceived against an increase of duties on such as may still take place. Had the duties been doubled on the 1st of Jan. 1808, as was then suggested in case of war, the receipts into the treasury during that and the ensuing year, would have been increased nine or ten millions of dollars. Those articles of most universal consumption, on which an increase of duty would be inconvenient, are generally either free of duty or abundant. It is therefore proposed that not only the Mediterranean duties, which will expire on the first day of January next, should be continued, but that all the existing duties should be doubled on importations subsequent to that day.
2. The present system of drawbacks also appears susceptible of modifications. The propriety of continuing generally that provision of the embargo laws which allows a drawback on articles exported more than one year after they have been imported, is doubtful. A modification might check speculations and monopolies. The diminution of importations has afforded sufficient profits on most of the articles which have been imported: and a provision which would have a tendency to bring into market, and to lessen the price of those articles, would be generally beneficial.
3. The causes which induced the adoption of a partial non importation act, have ceased to exist. The object then in view has emerged in a far more important one. The selection of interdicted articles was founded on the possibility of obtaining them in other countries than England, and does not agree with existing circumstances. The act producing now no other effect than to encrase the temptations, and to produce habits of smuggling, impairs and injures the revenue. A general non intercourse with that country would supercede that partial measure, and might be executed with greater facility. And it is believed that under every event, its repeal will be beneficial, and that a permanent increase of duties on articles selected with a view to those which may be manufactured in the United States, would be preferable.
4. It is believed that the present system of accountability of the military and naval establishments may be rendered more prompt and direct, and is susceptible of improvements which, without embarrassing the public service, will have a tendency more effectually to check any abuses by subordinate agents. Provisions to that effect are rendered more necessary by the probable increase of expence in these departments.

The house resolved itself into committee of the whole on a bill authorizing the payment of certain pensions by the secretary of war at the seat of government. It was reported to the house—concurred in, and ordered to a third reading to-morrow.
The house resolved itself into committee of the whole on the bill to amend the judicial system of the United States. [The bill goes to authorize the circuit judge to hold district courts, where, from sickness or other cause, the district judge is unable to discharge his duties, and makes the justice of the supreme court the judge of competency in the district judge.] Mr. Livermore said such a provision appeared necessary, but he thought there was something wrong in vesting the power of determining on the competency of the district judge in this way. He therefore moved that the committee rise, with a view, if it prevailed, to move for a recommittal of the bill. This course was objected to by Messrs. D. R. Williams, Taylor and Marion, and supported by Messrs. Ely, Gholsdon & the mover. The committee rose, were refused leave to sit again, and the bill was referred to a select committee.
Mr. Love asked for the order of the day on the resolution authorising the President of the United States to take measures to procure a release of 36 Americans, now confined in South America.
Mr. D. R. Williams said the merits of the question could be discussed under a motion he was about to make, and which would supercede the call for the order of the day, it was to postpone it indefinitely.
The motion was supported by the mover, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Smilie, and opposed by Messrs. Love, Lyon and Macon. The motion to postpone indefinitely was lost, 50 to 36.
The house then resolved itself into committee of the whole on the resolution.
Mr. Love moved to amend the resolution so far as to read—
Resolved , That the President be authorised to request of the proper authority, the release of the 36 American citizens, confined in the prisons of Carthagena, in South America.
The amendment was lost—the resolution after considerable discussion, negatived—the disagreement reported to the house—and concurred in.
At four o'clock the house adjourned.

Non-Intercourse. —Two effects are certain the advance in price of all foreign goods, and the fall of our own produce. Already have many imported articles risen from 20 to 30 per cent. particularly Salt, Sugar, Spirits, Molasses, &c. while the prices of our own produce are merely nominal, there being no sale for them. It used to be an axiom in trade, "to sell as dear as you can, and to buy as cheap as you can," but philosophical states-
men have inverted that rule—If there is a nation to which we could wish destruction, we would only give them philosophical rulers, and the rest would follow as a consequence. Norfolk Ledger.
Washington Woollen Manufactory.
To the inhabitants of the District of Columbia and the country circumjacent.
FELLOW-CITIZENS, Having before had the honor of addressing you on the important and National subject of Domestic Manufactures, I make no apology for calling your attention at the present moment, to a concern of such patriotic, as well as individual interest.
The formation of companies for the purpose of forwarding this truly beneficial system, has taken place in many parts of the Union, since last Spring—with much success to the North and with very partial prospect of encouragement southwardly. With the exception of Charleston, (s. c.) most of the other companies have been but moderately patronised & seem unlikely to succeed. Whether these Companies have been founded on too extensive a scale, or whether the dispositions of the inhabitants in those parts of our country, are unfriendly to these establishments, is not for me to determine—very certain it is that the laudable and patriotic views of the promoters of these institutions, are at present much paralysed, by the apathy of their fellow-citizens, and the enthusiasm in favor of domestic economy, seems subsiding to its former level.
With a view to restore this generous and worthy cause, I have sought for, and obtained, the most authentic information, from a gentleman resident in Pennsylvania, of the expence attending the erection of works, for the purpose of Woollen Manufactories, which information I beg leave to present to the public.
"The price of making and putting up two "machines, one carding and one breaker "and finisher, will be $750 which will turn "out 15 lbs. of wool per hour. The Spinning "machines with 40 spindles, will cost $150 "to spin 25lbs. per day—Freight to be paid "to Arlington. An experienced hand for six "months to attend the works, at $18 per "month and two boys will be all the hands "necessary for commencing the manufacto- "ry."
Believing that a system of this kind will answer a better purpose, in most parts of the Southern country than more extensive establishments—I beg leave to offer the following proposals to the public, viz.
To establish a Company Stock of 150 shares, at $20 each, $10 to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the balance in two installments. The works to be established at the Washington Mills in the Forest of Washington, where the following inducements will be offered, and the following advantages given to the establishment.
To take the water from the forebay of the mills which affords a fall of 30 feet. The stone necessary for the houses may be quarried from a quarry within 150 yards of the scite, which quarry is equal to any in the U. States. The timber for the machinery, to be furnished from the Forest gratis, and the property necessary for the scite to be deeded to the commissioners who may be appointed to receive the same, to be held by them until the works shall have redeemed the principal Stock, with an interest of six per cent. and then to become the exclusive property of the commissioners of the Arlington Institution, to be by them appropriated to the promotion of the Woollen Manufacture, and the erection of a seminary for the education of the children who may be engaged in the works, and such others as may be proper candidates for instruction.
The situation hereby offered cannot be exceeded in point of value or convenience. The Mills are between four and five miles from Alexandria, 3 and 4 from Georgetown and the City, and the great road leading from the Potomac Bridge to the Little River Turnpike, will pass immediately by the scite.
The expences calculated by the subscription may perhaps exceed the necessities of the plan, if so, the latter installments will be but partially required.
That the works if erected, will meet with due encouragement, I fully believe, since there are no establishments of the sort in the Southern Country where they are more particularly wanted.
Materials for building, workmanship and even labour would be taken in payment of shares to admit all classes of citizens as partakers in the establishment. Weavers and every class of mechanics who would serve as appendages to the works, will meet with situations at the Mills free of charge to the amount of an acre each.
The money which shall be paid on the shares can be placed in any of the Banks in the District to credit of any three gentlemen the company may please to appoint as Directors.
When we reflect that every other company formed within this district for public purposes has met with success, and large monied capitals have been vested in stock of every description throughout the union, may we not hope that this humble and patriotic experiment
will meet with due patronage and support. Should this institution be found to answer beneficial purposes, others will arise in support of the same cause, and establishments on a larger scale succeed the first adventurers.
The subscriber trusts that the public will duly appreciate his motives in the promoting this very useful establishment, and acquit him of all selfish or interested views. His labors have always been guided by a far different impulse—"Pro patria semper" will ever be the motto of the Arlington Institution, and Public Utility its end.

Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS , prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store , No. 56 Maiden lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney.
During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY , No. 145, Cherry street, New York.
Hamilton's Grand Restorative,
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 immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any destructive intemperance, the unskilful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparallelled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleets, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.

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 sense remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glets, 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. 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 Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy , from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint ; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
