LONDON, March 25.
PHILANTHROPY. —Towards 12 o'clock on Wednesday night, in the House of Lords, the reiterated attack upon the late ministers for their order of the 7th of Jan. which the present ministers still insist occasioned their orders in council was again made by the lord Chancellor, who was answered by lord Erskine, in a most powerful and unanswerable speech, at great length.—His lordship said, this charge repeatedly made, reminded him of Swift's Tale of a Tub. We produce, said lord Erskine, a piece of bread—we eat it in their presence—we bring the baker who baked it—every body round agree it to be bread, but the noble lords answer, that it is not bread, but the fattest mutton that ever came out of Leadenhall market, and the only proof they give of the proposition is, that if any man ventured to assert the contrary, they hoped that God might eternally damn him. Lord Erskine said, that these were the words of the Rev. Dean Swift, and not his, and therefore the bishops must pardon the profaneness. He said he had no doubt, that if it were convenient to establish that his lordship's black coat was a green color, it might easily be accomplished. As many as are of that opinion, say Aye—would give it any color in the rainbow. His lordship here adverted to the Bark Bill, which he had done two days before. He said, that Mr. Burke, in one of his immortal orations, had also given immortality to the benevolent Howard. Speaking of that great man in his career of humanity, he had said, "he has visited all Europe; not to collect manuscripts, or to collate medals but to dive into the depth of dungeons; to plunge into the infection of hospitals; to survey the mansions of grief, misery and despair; to pity the forsaken; to remember the forgotten, and to collect and collate the distresses of all men in all countries. It was a circumnavigation of charity. It was fit, said lord E. that this circumnavigator of charity should have received his being in that country which had been the instrument of Providence in her circumnavigation of the earth; not like the first discoverer, carrying cruelty and death in her train; but collecting mankind together under the dominion of laws and liberty." But what was the proposed circumnavigation of ministers? They at this moment, like Howard, were to visit all Europe; like him they were to plunge into the infection of hospitals; but not, like him, to remember the forsaken and forgotten, but to pluck the balm of health, or rather of life, out of the mouths of the miserable. They were to rob them—not of one medicine, which, as he had said formerly, might be substituted for another; but which he would repeat again, even as often as they repeated the Order of the 7th of Jan. that would subject Great Britain to the final everlasting curse—"I was sick and ye visited me not."

Expedition to the Baltic. —We have already stated that the idea of sending troops to Sweden has been abandoned. It is however intended speedily to send a strong naval force to the Baltic. Indeed the ships are now ready, and nothing but the prevailing easterly winds have prevented them from sailing before this time.
Admiral sir Samuel Hood, a tried and brave officer, who is to have the command, left town on Thursday and arrived at Deal the same evening. The Centaur is hourly expected there from Portsmouth to receive his flag. Sir James Saumarez is also expected to take a command in the same expedition, who will hoist his flag on board the Victory, on his arrival in the Downs.
Gottenburgh Mails. This morning we received journals and letters from Gottenburgh to the 21st inst. The king of Denmark, who had long been in such a state of mental debility as not to be able to perform any of the executive functions, died suddenly on the 13th inst. The crown prince (now Frederick IV) has succeeded to the throne; but there was no acclamations or rejoicings when he was proclaimed.
In an action reported to have taken place in Finland, the Russians are said to have lost 5000 men, and the Swedes 1700. The latter retreated after the action. The following are the principal articles received this mail:
Declaration of the king of Sweden against Russia.
That the Russian troops on the 21st of last February invaded Finland, was first made known to his majesty by a telegraphic dispatch, and soon after confirmed by a proclamation issued on the part of his imperial
Russian majesty and profusely scattered through the Swedish provinces, inviting the people to sedition and revolt.
"A rupture made without any previous declaration of war, nay, without one single grievance being stated; commenced with treachery, and led on by a traitor to his native country,* is an event of which but few precedents exist, and which cannot but excite indignation and disgust, on the very face of the transaction. But if the state relation between the two courts be taken into consideration; if this proceeding be examined, as far as it is directed against an ally, who always conducted himself in a faithful and honorable manner, it is difficult to mark the heinous deed with the term it deserves. It will stand single on the page of history down to the latest times.
"At a period when his imperial majesty seemed anxious to relieve oppressed rulers and countries, when he seemed aware of the danger which threatened all Europe, his royal majesty animated by the same sentiments, continued with him in close alliance, placing implicit confidence in a friend, a relation, an independent monarch! The Russian emperor had entered into engagements beneficial to the general cause, and tending to check the destructive ambition of France; he was sufficiently powerful to fulfil those engagements. His royal majesty, therefore, joined him as a friend, animated by the same sentiments; and he is now invaded by him, because he was his ally. Never could a prince enter into similar engagements with another power, with stronger hopes of their being sacredly fulfilled.
"The emperor had been personally illuminated by the French government; the Russian nation had been calumniated and publicly proclaimed as savages and barbarians. All that is sacred to governments was intimately interwoven with the common interest, how then could any mistrust or suspicion possibly be harbored, when the emperor expressly declared that he should reject all offers of peace, however advantageous they might be, which could not be reconciled with the honor of the Russian name, the security of the country, the interest of his allies, and the general tranquility of Europe.†
"How far this declaration is consistent with the peace of Tilsit has already been decided by the present age; and posterity will affirm the doom. The king stood on the theatre of war, and was not acquainted with the negotiation for an armistice & peace until the latter was concluded, contrary to the express stipulation of the treaty concluded between Sweden and Russia the 14th of January, 1805 (art. IX). The intelligence of the unexpected event was followed by an offer to contribute to the conclusion of peace, which induced his majesty to renew the demand of an armistice, which was stipulated in the treaty of Tilsit, but met with a denial, and then learned to appreciate the value of the co-operation of Russia. The king being now unable to defend any longer his German dominions, was obliged to surrender them.
"After this loss, occasioned by the secession of Russia, his royal majesty left the theatre of war, and merely endeavored to enjoy in his kingdom that tranquility which he was entitled to expect from his situation. He had fulfilled his engagements with Russia, and now expected to learn what under a changed system would be done in his favor. The king had supported the Russian operations with his ships of war, had opened to the emperor his magazines of warlike stores, had rejected and hardly noticed the offers made to him by the French government, one of which

‡ Russian Manifesto of August 30, 1806.
§ General Budberg's letter to baron Wetterstadt, principal secretary for foreign affairs of the 10th of July, 1807.
|| Tendency and bearings of the secret articles.
¶ Gen. Bernadotte made an offer of Norway to a Swedish officer, who was taken prisoner. The French minister, Bourienne, offered Netzel to the Swedish charge d'affairs, on the 14th November, 1806, and General Grandjean offered to Colonel Baron Towast, the 27th May, any extension of the Swedish frontiers that might be desired in case of a rupture with Russia.
was, that in case of a rupture with Russia in the midst of a war, when the Russian frontiers and the capital itself were perfectly defenceless; all the provinces lost to the reign of Charles XII. should be restored to Sweden, and that besides any part of the Russian empire should be procured to the king which he should require.
"His royal majesty is far from claiming any praise for having rejected such offers; but his right of expecting honorable proceedings from the power spared, was strengthened by his conduct. The secret articles of the treaty of Tilsit, which were first suspected, and afterwards acknowledged by the Russian ministry began to appear. The terrific measures of France to them in the whole continent of Europe, and shut it against the English had commenced to be carried into effect, and to spread misery and want from port to port, and throughout continental Europe from state to state.
"The government was permitted to act according to its own judgment and experience, and no medium acknowledged between vassals and foes; peace meant confederacy; confederacy, subjection; and principles laws and systems, were dictated by France to her so-styled allies, who humbly receive them from Paris, unmindful of the wounds which they should inflict on the common welfare.
"Preparations for rupture with England were made in Petersburg as early as last autumn, and merely a convenient season was waited for to carry them into execution, when by a note of the 6th of October it was proposed to his majesty to co-operate in the same manner as in 1756, in an attempt to shut the Baltic against foreign ships of war.
His royal majesty returned for answer, under date of the 13th November, that as long as the French government was lord of so considerable a part of the southern ports of the Baltic, and practising its exclusive system, there could be no tranquility in the Baltic, wherefore his imperial majesty must first prevail on the French to quit them; and as the above demand was repeated on the 27th of the same month, and compliance was required, as an obligation arising from the convention of the year 1780, it was fully stated in a reply given the 21st of January last, that by the convention concluded between Russia and England in the year 1801, and to which Sweden acceded by express desire of Russia, and under her own guaranty, the former armed neutrality was done away; that his majesty then entered into direct engagements with England, which he could not in justice violate, as long as that power continued to fulfil them on its part; that along with the former armed neutrality, the stipulation to shut the Baltic naturally fell to the ground, a stipulation which was the less fitted for the present circumstances, as the former Danish navy, then reckoned upon, did no longer exist; and as England had besides opened a passage through the Great Belt, but that as Sweden was not at liberty to contribute with an armed force to preserve tranquility in the Baltic, she would endeavor to obtain by negotiation with England, that the latter should send thither no ships of war unless some other power should render that measure necessary by hostilities committed in that sea.
"That Sweden should serve Russia for a bulwark, since she had been pleased to provoke England; that Sweden should sacrifice her fleet and her trade to protect Cronstadt, was certainly asking too much. Hostile preparations now immediately commenced on the Russian frontiers. His royal majesty looked still with indifference on them as long as no grievance had been stated to him, and no claim preferred.
"The offer to obtain by negotiations the tranquility of the Baltic, opened prospects for peace and profit for Russia, and for the whole North of Europe, and therefore assuredly could not be refused. The ports of Russia could thus have continued their trade undisturbed, and this trade could not but prove extremely desirable to his imperial majesty, after an unfortunate war, and a still more unfortunate peace. The offer was made on the supposition of England's consent, which there were strong grounds to expect; and his majesty hoped to obtain it, before the English fleet, which was so much dreaded, should be able to reach the Baltic. A direct answer to this offer being avoided, his majesty's ambassador was directed the 15th of February to make remonstrances on that subject, when at once all official communications with Sweden were broken off, and the Russian troops entered Finland.
"This sudden invasion of a friendly country, commenced with treacherous attempts to stir up revolts unprecedented even in our times, otherwise so rich in instances of the most unwarrantable acts of violence and despotism. The Russian empire allied with France, is not sufficiently powerful to overcome the resistance of a province which, on account of the season is entirely left to itself. Treachery and rebellion must be called in for assistance.
"The government endeavors to buy the people in a mass, and seduce them by offers of happiness and liberty: the commander in chief endeavors to buy soldiers by the piece, who had not been able to buy serfs in the markets of St. Petersburg and Riga.
"Faithful inhabitants of Finland, respect-
able people—your king, since the beginning of his reign, has constantly endeavored to diffuse knowledge and prosperity through your country; a treacherous friend is attempting to disturb your repose, and throw you back into the darkness of ancient times. His sworded hands are extended over your heads; his blood-stained hands do not rely on his treacherous promises which merely tend to unnerve the arm of loyalty, and decoy you from your faithful attachment to your king and country. Concerned at the misfortune attending on war, but convinced that he has not provoked them, your king feels satisfied that your attachment to his person remains unimpaired, and you may depend on his making the utmost exertion, assisted by a powerful ally, to protect and avenge you."

LOWER ELBE, March 1.
It is rumored here that the Russians intend to oppose the passage of French thro' Denmark.
March 15.
The king of Denmark, Christian the 7th, died at Kiel on the 13th of March; the crown prince will be his successor under the title of Frederick the sixth. The French and Spanish troops advance into Holstein, and the remaining cantonments will take the same route; a Bavarian division is already on its march from Bremen to Hamburg; the Dutch general (Dane) commands in the former and colonel V. in the latter place. The duke of Oldenburg has set out for Paris.
ALTONA, March 14.
After a reign of 42 years, and in the 59th of his age, our beloved sovereign, Christian the 7th, king of Denmark and Norway, departed this life; he was buried at Rendsburg. The crown prince, his only son, is to succeed him, with the name of Frederick the 6th. The wise measures which this prince has adopted in his father's life time, presages that the Danes will be the happiest people in Europe.
ROTTERDAM, March 14.
The American brig George, of Philadelphia, was recaptured from the English on the 29th of February, by the French privateer Speculaeur, captain Pradier, and carried into St. Maloes. This privateer, in a cruise of twelve days, had captured a letter of marque, from Liverpool, called the Elizabeth, as also the Indus, the Zephyr, the George of Philadelphia above mentioned, and the galliot Indus.
ELSINEUR, February 28.

From the SALEM REGISTER.
The present state of hostilities in the north of Europe invites attention to the character of nations who inhabit the countries it contains, that we may know whether the different nations have assumed a new character or are imitating the manners of their ancient history. The invasion of Finland by Russia, is only the repetition of the same attempts which have been twice successful in the past century. The naval enterprises of the Danes in their small vessels are justified by the bold adventures of past times, which were distinguished by a success almost incredible. While Sweden has known by experience what it is to resign the highest military reputation, to the poverty of her resources, and to the multitude of her enemies. Whatever the Danes may have been by land, their maritime expeditions have rendered them better known in history. In the eighth, ninth and tenth centuries their vessels were upon all parts of the coast of Europe, and for two hundred years they were the terror of England, and frequently conquered it. They invaded Scotland and Ireland, and all the southern shores of the Baltic. They are represented as a terror to Charlemagne himself. The

following are the words of Mallet upon their courage in the times of the successor of that great prince. "They spread like a devouring flame over Lower Saxony, Friesland, Holland, Flanders, and the banks of the Rhine as far as Mentz. They penetrated into the heart of France. They found their way up the Somme, the Seine, the Loire, the Garonne, and the Rhone. Within the space of thirty years, they frequently pillaged and burnt Paris, Amiens, Orleans, Poitiers, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Saintes, Angouleme, Nantes, and Tours. They settled themselves in Camargue, at the mouth of the Rhone, from whence they wasted Provence, and Dauphiny, as far as Valence. In short, they ruined France, levied immense tribute on its moieties, burnt the palace of Charlemagne at Aix-la-Chapelle, and caused one of the best provinces of the kingdom to be ceded to them. They carried their arms into Spain and made themselves dreaded by Greece and Italy." They became at length more numerous on sea than on land, and an ancient historian reports, the whole nation were nothing but the habits of sailors, that they might be ready to embark on the first signal. In England, though this people were not known by the name of Danes, at least two thirds of the conquerors of Great Britain came from Denmark, so that when the Danes came to England about three or four hundred years after the first invasions, and conquered it at the latter end of the tenth century, they waged war with the descendants of their own ancestors. They now recur to their ancient habits, and accept a new requisition for services which depend on their numbers, their courage, and sudden execution. They contemplate to land with the French in Sweden, to reduce that country, or oblige it to renounce its alliance with England. The Swedes by the wars in Finland, have to renew hostilities with an enemy, that for nearly a century has gained every advantage over them, and to whom the country is open. In 1721, at the treaty of Nystad, in Finland, Czar of Russia kept almost all his conquests. In the fourth article Sweden absolutely resigns all the provinces conquered or taken, which are all enumerated, and the list of them is long and includes Wyburg, and they are to be surrendered in the state in which Sweden held them. Such sacrifices could not be made without a dire necessity. Upon the accession of Elizabeth to the throne of Russia, the Swedes hoped to profit from the revolution, and in twenty years after, wars renewed the war in Finland. But the best part of the Swedish army was made prisoners, and all the country of Finland was lost, and the Swedes were obliged to sue for peace upon any terms. Russia at length was persuaded to restore a part of Finland, upon condition of the resignation of the person elected king, and of the election of a person Russia should nominate. The Russians are for the third time in the same country, but by the last account had offered to quit the Swedish possessions upon the dissolution of the alliance of Sweden with England. A powerful expedition from England we have already announced for the aid of Sweden. But as the Russians have entered Finland, which Sweden cannot support, and the French and Danes are ready to invade it from the south, it is expected that the same necessity which Sweden has repeatedly felt will oblige a change of measures to prevent the entire conquest of the country. This change will be favorable to the commercial treaty forming between France and Russia, by which the emperor of France is to divert the commerce of Russia into his own dominions and those of his allies from the southern and northern parts of Russia. The system has given great influence to the French in Petersburg, and every thing is done to render these commercial relations permanent. The union between the French & Spaniards, since the entrance of the French into Spain, remain uninterrupted, and the most splendid military parade contributes to the ardor of the troops, and to the intercourse of the officers of the two nations. The Spanish nation is yielding to the influence of the military character, and insensibly losing the sovereignty of its ecclesiastical establishments. From Lisbon we learn, that the inquisitor general has addressed the church, requiring submission to Napoleon, as sent by God to protect the church, and to render the people happy. The enthusiasm which accompanies the great events of Europe, and the few hopes of successful resistance, upon whatever principles it may be undertaken, and the full conviction in the minds of many, that the state of Europe will eventually be blessed by this crisis of its affairs, have prepared all nations to behold with astonishment
the present order of things, and from the quick succession of great changes, to give themselves up to a full acquiescence.

Father Sloan and his Brethren. —This old fashioned gentleman has written a very classical circular to his constituents, by which it would seem as though he wished to effectuate several purposes, and amongst the rest the elevation of Mr. Clinton to the presidential chair. One cannot forbear to smile at the greatness of this mans solicitude about the welfare of those who have chosen him to execute duties which he never had the capacity to perform, & who have confided to him a trust of the importance of which he cannot have been conscious; since according to his own confession he suffered himself to be dragged without resistance into that foul assembly where our constitution was premeditatedly robbed of its purity. It is quite amusing to read some of the productions which our kind representatives make up here out of public documents and their own speeches, and the dictums of the democratic leaders, towards the close of every session. The fashion of writing circulars, like almost every other fashion, is now indulged to a most alarming licentiousness. In the first place it swells the public mails to a most cumbersome bulk, and in the next place it causes a dissemination of much political information utterly devoid of truth—Were we blessed with men in our national councils of great mental perspicacity, were we represented by other than self-taught politicians were the pillars of the government supported by unspotted integrity, persevering research and extensive information, then might we hail with gladness those statements which would only be distinguished from one another by the faintest shades of difference. But we cannot console ourselves with the belief, that even those in whose political dogmas, a vast majority in congress implicitly subscribe, are enlightened by the wisdom of orthodox statesmen, or adorned with the candor of honest-hearted politicians. We require no other proofs of the insignificancy and vanity of the members of our national legislature than those which were exhibited on the evening of their tumultuous separation. Instead of dissolving like men of dignity and learning, without at least the decorum of well-tempered merriment, they parted from one another with a clownish rudeness and a boisterous clamour, illy suited to the awful state of the nation, and illy according with the anxious feelings of the more thoughtful and serious part of the community. We venture to assert that the members of the most contemptible club that ever was formed in honor of Bacchus or Comus, never dispensed with ruder indecency, than did the members of the late congress on the evening of the 25th of last April. This we assert not merely as the opinion of ourselves, but as the opinion of all who were present, and we publish it that the people may know in what sort of men they have reposed the most unlimited confidence, and what sort of doings they are to expect from their desultory, inefficient puerile labours.
(Washington Federalist.)
[The following extract from an English paper, fully describes the general sense of the people—PEACE appears to be the watchword throughout the nation, and that it may altogether be adopted, should be the earnest desire of every lover of humanity.]
PEACE.—A deputation left Leeds on Saturday morning for London, with the petition for peace. The signatures to this petition exceed 28,000, the largest number ever signed to a similar document, in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
A petition for peace is now signing in Manchester, Salford and neighborhood, and such has been the avidity with which it has been supported that, from Thursday morning to Friday evening, upwards of ten thousand names were subscribed: Another powerful proof of the feelings of the working class at the present crisis.
The most numerous public meeting ever held, perhaps, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, took place last Tuesday se'night at Huddersfield. The object of the meeting was to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning his majesty to take an early opportunity to terminate the miseries and distress occasioned by a long protracted war, and to seize the first moment for reviving the reign of peace.
After reading the requisition the chairman recommended that a number of propositions, previously, should be read, and that the sense of the meeting should afterwards be taken on each. The propositions being read; previous to their being put separately to the votes, the chairman wished that the general question should be determined, and said "Those who are for peace, will signify the same by holding up their hands."
In a moment thousands of hands were raised, and the cheering cry of "peace!" spread itself through the immense assembly. On the converse of this question being put, one and only one hand was held up, and it was immediately explained to the meeting that the circumstance was entirely imputable to a misconception of the question.
Several excellent resolutions were unanimously agreed to, the whole of which, we are sorry we have not room for insertion; the following are deserving of attention:
"That the right of petition is the undoubted privilege of the subjects of his realm, and that the king wears his crown by virtue of the same solemn compact by which this right is secured to his subjects; and therefore, whoever attempts to controul or oppose them, in the exercise of this right, is equally the enemy of the constitution, the king and his people. That should his majesty be advised to reject the prayer of our petition, we will, from time to time, exercise our constitutional right of petitioning."
Numerous and respectable meetings have also been held at Thuriston and the Bingley, at which similar resolutions were passed.
We do not say, nor do we think that the men to whose hands the administration of our public affairs is at present entrusted, will ever make peace; they and their party seem much more desirous to excite jealousies and animosities both at home and abroad, than to promote a spirit of conciliation; but we are bold to maintain, that before this day six months, (on the supposition that the petitioning spirit is not suffered to droop) a negotiation for peace will be set on foot, and that such negotiation will terminate in peace, except, contrary to our expectations, the demands of the enemy should be found incompatible with the security and essential interests of this country.
Other places disposed to petition cannot have a better example than that set at Huddersfield and other parts of Yorkshire on this occasion; the petitions are equally distinguished for dutiful loyalty and for manly frankness, and the proceedings, in point of order and decorum, may be equalled, but not excelled.
Baker, in his treatise on the Microscope, acquaints us with the following very curious works of art. We quote his words.
"Dr. Power says he saw a golden chain, at Tradescent's, of three hundred links, not more than an inch in length, fastened to, and pulled away by a flea. And I myself have seen very lately, near Durham Yard, in the Strand, and have examined with my microscope, a chaise (made by one Mr. Boverick, a watch maker) having four wheels, with all the other apparatus belonging to them, turning readily on their axles; together with a man sitting on the chaise, all formed of ivory, and drawn along by a flea without any seeming difficulty. I weighed it with the greatest care I was able, and found the chaise, man and flea, were barely equal to a single grain. I weighed also, at the same time and place, a brass chain made by the same hand, about two inches long, containing two hundred links, with a hook at one end, and a padlock and key at the other, and found it less than the third part of a grain."
"We are told that one Oswald Nelinger made a cup of pepper-corn, which held twelve hundred other little cups, all turned in ivory, each of them being gilt on the edges, and standing upon a foot; and that so far from being crowded or wanting room, the pepper-corn would have held four hundred more."
"I have seen since my writing the above (made by the same artist) a quadrille table with a drawer in it, an eating table, a side-board table, a looking glass, 12 chairs with skeleton backs, two dozen of plates, six dishes, a dozen knives and as many forks, twelve spoons, two salts, a frame and castors, together with a gentleman, lady, and footman, all contained in a cherry-stone, and not filling much more than half of it."
The OCCOQUAN BRIDGE it is expected will be finished in a fortnight from this time, a suitable character is wanting to collect the tolls at said Bridge. An aged man of steady habits, without a family, who can bring good vouchers for his integrity, and sobriety, will meet with encouragement: the colour of the person will be no objection.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years 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, 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. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia Mrs. H. Lee.
Franc 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, thickening 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. Moulder 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 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; 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, 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 was joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially by 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.
