Napoleon, by the grace of God and the constitutions, emperor of the French and king of Italy.
We have decreed and do decree as follows:
Art. I.

II. The Napoleon code, the system of coinage of our empire and the concordat, concluded between us and his holiness for our kingdom of Italy, shall be fundamental laws of our said kingdom, and shall not be derogated from under any pretext whatever.
III. We have erected and do erect in duchies, grand fiefs of our empire, the provinces hereinafter designated:
1 Dalmatia. 2 Istria. 3 The Frioul. 4 Cadore. 5 Belluna. 6 Conegliano. 7 Treviso. 8 Feltri. 9 Bassano. 10 Vicenza. 11 Padua. 12 Bovigo.
IV. We reserve to ourselves to give the investiture of the said fiefs to be transmitted hereditarily, by order of primogeniture, to the male, legitimate and natural descendants of those in favor of whom we have disposed of them, and in case of extinction of their male, legitimate and natural descendants, the said fiefs shall be reversible to our imperial crown to be disposed of by us or our successors.
V. We intend that the fifteenth of our revenue which our kingdom of Italy draws or shall draw from the said province, shall be attached to the said fiefs, to be possessed by those whom we shall have invested with them, we further reserve, and for the same destination, the disposal of thirty millions, of national domains situate in the said provinces.
VI. Inscriptions shall be created upon the monte Napoleon to the amount of twelve hundred thousand francs, in favor of the generals, officers and soldiers who have rendered the most service to the country and to our crown, and whom we shall designate for this purpose, imposing upon them the express condition of not being able, the said general, officers and soldiers before the expiration of ten years, to sell or alienate the said incomes without our authority.
VII. Until our kingdom of Italy have an army which may suffice for its defence, we intend to grant it a French army, and it is our will that from the first of May next it be maintained and paid out of our imperial treasury. For this purpose, our royal treasury of Italy shall pay, every month, into our imperial treasury, the sum of two millions five hundred thousand francs, French money, and it is during the time in which our said army shall remain in our kingdom of Italy, which we have regulated and do regulate from the present, for the term of six years; which term being expired, we shall take in this respect the further determinations which the circumstances of Europe may make us judge necessary for the safety of our people of Italy.
VIII. From the first of May next, the countries of Massa and Carrara and the Gaufagana, from the sources of the Serchio, shall no longer make a part of our kingdom of Italy.
IX. The presumptive heir of the kingdom of Italy shall bear the title of prince of Venice.
Given at our palace of the Tuileries, the 30th March of the year 1806.

Napoleon by the grace of God and the constitution of the state, emperor of the French and king of Italy, to all those who shall see these presents, Greeting:
The interest of our people, the honor of our crown, and the tranquility of the continent of Europe, requiring that we should secure in a stable and definitive manner, the lot of the people of Naples and Sicily, fallen into our power by the right of conquest, and making besides a part of the great empire, we have declared and do de-
clare by these presents, to acknowledge for king of Naples and Sicily, our well beloved brother Joseph Napoleon, grand elector of France. This crown shall be hereditary by order of primogeniture, in his male legitimate and natural descendants. His said descendants coming to be extinct, which God forbid, we intend to call to it our male, legitimate and natural children, by order of primogeniture, and in default of our male, legitimate and natural children, by order of primogeniture, reserving to ourselves, if our brother should happen to die in our lifetime, without leaving any male, legitimate and natural children the right of designating, to succeed to the said crown, a prince of our house, or even of calling to it an adopted child, according as we shall judge proper for the interest of our people and for the great advantage of the great system which divine providence has destined us to found.
We institute in the said kingdom of Naples and Sicily, six great fiefs of the empire, with the title of duchies, and the same advantages and prerogatives as those which are instituted in the Venetian provinces united to our kingdom of Italy, to be, the said duchies, grand fiefs of the empire, in perpetuity, and the case happening, in our nomination and in that of our successors. All the details of the said fiefs are committed to the care of our said brother Joseph Napoleon.
We reserve to ourselves on the said kingdom of Naples and Sicily, the disposal of a million income to be distributed to the generals, officers and soldiers of our army who rendered the most service to the country and to the throne, and whom we shall designate for this purpose, under the express condition of not being able, the said generals, officers or soldiers, before the expiration of ten years, to sell or alienate the said incomes, but by our authority.
The king of Naples shall be in perpetuity grand dignitary of the empire, under the title of grand elector, we reserve, however, when we shall judge proper, to create the dignity of prince vice grand elector.
We intend that the crown of Naples and Sicily, which we place on the head of our brother Joseph Napoleon and his descendants, shall not prejudice in any manner their right of succession to the throne of France. But it is equally our will that the crown either of France or Italy or of Naples and Sicily, shall never be united on the same head.
Given at our palace of the Tuileries, the 30th March, 1806.

FROM A BALTIMORE PAPER.
Highly interesting to the public in general.
ON THE YELLOW MALIGNANT FEVER.
HUMANITY being the first virtue of a physician worthy of a profession so distinguished, and the desire of preserving the existence of his fellow citizens, the principal inducement to all his researches; it is with the most heartfelt satisfaction I announce to the public, the discovery of a specific remedy for the yellow fever, that terrible scourge, which for several years past (beginning in 1793) has rendered the most flourishing cities of this fortunate portion of the globe the seat of desolation.
The remedy sovereign, as it certainly is, is produced from a mild substance, long since used in medicine in certain particular cases, but whose anti-pesential qualities have never been thoroughly investigated until the happy moment, when I turned my thoughts to its analogy with an alkalescant, and turgid bile, which always exists in the commencement of the yellow fever.
Its properties which are opening, dissolvent alkaline and sudorific, always cause it to neutralize the poisonous quality of the bile, & never fail to bring on a salutary crisis, long experience, and success multiplied and attested by certificates, authentic & irrevocable, patients escaped from the danger of the disease by means of the remedy we announce, place its efficacy as a healing medicine, beyond the possibility of doubt. The simplicity of this remedy, of which the basis is nothing else than Castile Soap, may perhaps furnish a pretext to doubt and disapprove, to such as imagine, that only pharmaceutic monsters are capable of triumphing over a disease dangerous in its results and its contagion. But I appeal to enlightened physicians, who profess clinical and experimental medicine, whether they frequently do not owe their most brilliant success to means often simple in the extreme.
The harmony of nature is simple in its progress, however complicated and beautiful it may be; each plant has its specific virtue, and so also for each distemper there exists the means of curing it.
At the period when the small pox first appeared, all the efforts of the greatest physicians, and their most complicated prescriptions, failed of success against that terrible scourge: it was the hand of time that pointed out the simple and fortunate method of subduing it; and it was time which afterwards, at two distant periods, produced lady Montague, and the celebrated Jenner, who have given to that disease the death blow.
Were not intermittent fevers and the syphilis disorder for a long time the reproach of the greatest practitioners, & the rock on which they split? Nevertheless, each of those disorders have now its specific. The Peruvian bark, that simple bark the product of an annual vegetation, infallibly destroys the one, and mercury, that camelion, a fluid, a metal properly administered and carefully prepared, annihilates the other.
The remedy of which we speak, in all families is in daily use, and appears to have been, by Providence, scattered with profusion not only as a cure for the yellow fever, but also as the means of preservation from it.
The author of this interesting discovery, thoroughly persuaded of its efficacy in a state of sickness, by the favorable results that he has uniformly obtained from it, believes also that this means employed in the predisposition to sickness can preserve as well from the evil as from the danger of it.
He even believes this remedy, well applied, might have a happy effect against the plague.
The better to make known to the public both the predisposition and the disorder, he will in the first place lay down the indications of the former and the symptoms of the latter, and will then add some details on the curing effects of this remedy. This he believes the more necessary, since for want of information, and because a professional character is not called in time, and the use of the preserving remedy is delayed, the majority of patients laboring under the disorder fall victims to it without a possibility of being succored.
First the predisposition to the yellow fever—the patient generally complains of a slight indisposition, such as is usual before the attack of common fevers, a general uneasiness, lowness of spirits, debility, drowsiness, weariness, followed by pains in the thighs, knees, and slight shiverings, which proceed from the lower extremity to the reins with the quickness of lightning, and long respiration, the saliva and mucus of the nose, thin, rare and hot singing in the ears, a heaviness in the eyes, an involuntary melancholy, a want of appetite, and a foul mouth. All these signs or many of them, exist for a greater or less time before the development of the fever, according to the constitution, the state of the atmosphere, or of the contagion; for I have witnessed patients die in times of great infection, before experiencing the febrile crisis, for instance, a patient who consulted me about an indisposition characterized by some predisposing signs, died at the door at the moment I was feeling his pulse, which was by no means feverish.
Second, the real symptoms of the state of sickness, according to the observations of the author and acknowledged by the best practitioners, are in most instances, but not invariably a chilly fit; in a short time violent pains come on in the forehead, of the head, in the eyes, loins, hips, and thighs. The face becomes flushed, the eyes of a fiery red, and intolerant of light, with a feeling of burning heat in the skin; the pulse is full, quick, and hard; the respiration deep and thick; the tongue is covered with a whitish fur, and moist; the thirst is sometimes excessive at others moderate; the stomach is distended, and irritable with pain and burning heat, accompanied by excessive sickness; it is often troubled by violent retching, with a vomiting of mucus, or their drink mixed with an acid greenish matter eroding the sauces, the bowels are costive, the patient feels great restlessness and despondency, moaning and tossing about the bed as if to find some relief from a change of posture; hemorrhage at the nose, a difficulty and sometimes a stopage of urine, &c. &c.
The specific remedy opportunely administered operates in the following manner: In the first place the pains decrease, the muscular agitation becomes calm, the urine regains its course, the fever abates, the skin becomes moist, the respiration free, the thirst diminished, the irritation of the stomach disappears, and the vomiting ceases, the dryness of the throat is no long-
er felt, & from the sixth to the 7th day, either a favorable crisis by means of sweat or stool, and a bilious vomit destroys the fever; the eighth day the sickness is terminated, and three or four days of convalescence restored to the patient his accustomed calm. If the disease should happen not to follow those periods marked by experience, in such case it ought not to be classed with the real yellow fever, but would belong to the class of putrid and malignant bilious fevers, of which the symptoms would be nearly destroyed, but which would render necessary the use of febrifuges, in order to complete the effect of this remedy.
This remedy is also eminently adapted to bilious cholics; obstructing affections on the liver; jaundice; obstructed respiration, and in a word to all cases where the acrid bile or inverted secretions menace life, a danger unfortunately too frequent in consequence of the inconstancy of the climate we live in.
On the advantage of so important a discovery I will forbear to dilate. It is so much the more precious, as, according to the opinion of our most learned physicians, we must now consider the yellow fever as an endemic.
The author the better to convince his fellow citizens, will add to a memoir which he proposes to have printed, on the method of treatment, by which he has obtained such signal success, the various cures; he has operated by this means in divers epidemics, during the space of 6 years since he has commenced using it. He thought the lapse of time necessary to consolidate his observations on the poisonous ferment of the disorder, and the victorious effects of his remedy.
All those persons whom a well grounded confidence shall induce to adopt the use of it, will doubtless become strenuous advocates of its infallibility, and as well the unfortunate as the rich will find at their hands the same succour, and the same assistance.
Hereinafter are mentioned more than a hundred certificates, which establish the period of the discovery.
STATE OF MARYLAND.
City of Baltimore, to wit:
BE it remembered, that on the twenty sixth day of March in the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and six persons, appeared before me, the subscriber, mayor of the city of Baltimore, John J. Craud physician of the city of Baltimore, a citizen of the United States, who being sworn on the holy evangelists of almighty God, deposeth and saith, that in the year 1804, during the prevalence of the yellow malignant fever in the said city of Baltimore, he did make the discovery of a medicine which he is thoroughly persuaded is a certain & specific remedy for the cure & prevention of that disease; during the period of five years past he has always administered it to such patients laboring under the above mentioned disease, as were committed to his care, and by means of it has effected their cure generally in the course of eight days by using the remedy in the commencement of the disorder, and before it became of any other; that from the happy and uniform effects which have been produced by it he verily believes it to be a certain and specific remedy for the said disease, and that it will stand the test of time and experience: And moreover that he the deponent is ready at all times to submit it to such trial and proof, as may be required to establish its efficacy.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name, and caused the corporate seal of the said city to be hereunto affixed, on the day and year above written.

AUGUSTA, (Georgia) May 15.  Extract of a letter from Thomas Spalding, esq. member of congress, to a gentleman in Wilkes county, dated April 1, 1806. "Yesterday, after a very long and very violent debate, a motion was carried for taking off the injunction of secrecy, under which congress has been during the greater part of this session. I cannot therefore state to you what was done during that period in a few words; leaving you to be more fully informed of every thing that did take place by the newspapers in due season."
"On the 6th of December, the president transmitted to congress a confidential message, on the subject of Spanish affairs, not altogether in the tone of his public message, and indeed, as his particular friends say— "capable of a two-fold construction." This message was accompanied by documents, that elucidated in part the plan that was desired, which is in substance this: When Mr. Monroe and Mr. Pinckney were in Spain, treating on the subject of boundaries with that country, it was understood that Spain was ready to treat, but that France would not let her. At Paris, our minister was informed at once, that our pretensions on Spain were unwarranted and that in the event of their being productive of a war between our government and that France would not hesitate, but immediately take part with Spain. But it was understood also, that our government might, by a certain sum of money purchase the Floridas from Spain, and so extinguish the dispute. This suggestion, you will observe, did not come from Madrid or the Spaniards, but from Paris and the French. The secretary of state (Mr. Madison) declared to Mr. Randolph, that France wanted money from us, and that France must have it."
"Thus situated, the committee to whom the President's secret message was referred, taking into consideration the aggressions of Spain, both in our territory as well as upon the ocean, recommended an increase of our military force, for the protection of our southern and western frontier; as will appear, as soon as their report is published. This proposition was rejected, and another brought in, by men who pretended to be peculiarly in the confidence of the President, for voting two millions of dollars to be advanced in part purchase of the Floridas, as was pretended, but as many of us rather believed to purchase a continuation of peace from France and Spain."
Mr. Randolph and his friends took fire at this indignity offered to the house, and even independence of their country. They believe and still believe, that the French do, and will consider us, as their tributary state; that wherever they are disposed, exact from us a sum of money they will give Spain the nod, who will violate our boundaries and bully us, and we shall be compelled to purchase the interference of France."
"Thus, while we basely crouched to France and Spain, the government appeared disposed to take lofty ground with England, for very minor objects; which in due season we shall be able to prove. Against this I was one who voted, as the secret journal will show; and I will wait with confidence the decision of my fellow citizens on this important subject."

Extract of a letter from Leeds, Eng. April 30 "This forenoon there is a terrible alarm. It is said your government have passed the non-importation law. I do not in the least doubt, if this news is confirmed, it will cause an immediate embargo on American shipping."
The brig Leo , captain Gardiner, has arrived at the Vineyard from Laguira, on her way to Nantucket. She left at Laguira on the 21st of last month, the ship Olive , Dawson, to sail for New York in 10 days; and the sch'r Elizabeth , for do. ready for sea. Mr. Reinhardt, a passenger in the Leo , arrived in this city yesterday, informs us it was reported at Laguira that Miranda's two schooners had been carried into Porto Cavello, and that the last accounts from Miranda left him off the island of Bonaire.

From the NORFOLK LEDGER.  Resources of the Country. —Let no man fear taxation in future, and let foreign nations tremble when they consider what are the resources of the United States. In a statistical table lately published by Mr. Blodget, we are told that our country now possesses the following resources, viz:
  4,500 lots in the city of Washington worth 1,500,000   235 millions of acres of land, limited by law to be worth, or to net not less than two dollars per acre 470,000,000   Half the United States' Louisiana lands at the same limit may net for posterity 600,000,000   Making Ten hundred and seventy one millions five hundred thousand Dollars! 
In addition to this we may calculate upon two hundred millions more, of Florida land now treating for, and as good as purchased. And if Bonaparte should be pushed for money, he can sell us Mexico, and then figures will hardly be able to reach the value of our territory. Although we are really charmed to perceive the mighty resources of our country we cannot forbear remarking that the French emperor will be harder in the next bargain we have to make for land, when he perceives that for fifteen million of dollars, we have got lands worth by our own acknowledgment six hundred million of dollars!

A late voyager to the Sandwich Islands, immortal by the fate of captain Cook, informs us, that in one of these remote islands he found the ambition which has given extensive conquests and glory to ancient and modern heroes of Europe. By arms, and persuasion, a hero named Tamahama, had extended his power over the surrounding islands. Only one still refused submission, and in that the inhabitants almost wild with despair, had contemplated to construct a vessel upon which they might trust to the ocean, and find another abode for their independence, which they no longer hoped to support by courage and arms. But this ambition has given progress to society, in the allied islands, and their neighbours have furnished arts which they cultivate and advance in peace. The hero had already prepared a fleet, and had purchased of commerce with the continent of Asia. Abandoning the savage manners, an opportunity is given for the milder doctrines of European nations. The resemblance in the language of these islands, even such as are most remote, is now fully ascertained.
ISLAND of ST. DOMINGO.
In St. Domingo we have a different picture. The French revolution promised blessings to the slaves on the colonies of the European nations, and it was expected that the French would be the first to establish for all mankind, the benefits of those equal laws which they defended with enthusiasm. In St. Domingo invention was employed to discover the means by which the whites might exceed the blacks in the horrid means of destruction. At length peace was proclaimed, and liberty was promised. The change of condition did not remove the ancient jealousies, and St. Domingo was not more happy by the change of masters. An army was sent to recover the power of the French in that distressed island. In that time Toussaint could command 20,000 men, of whom a sixth part were of the cavalry. The French had not more than half of that number. The French landed with the proclamation of liberty, but without regarding even the laws of war. The French seized on the capital, and conflagrations ensued. After many ravages Toussaint submitted to the French, and the conquest of the island appeared sure. But Toussaint was soon seized, and without any regard to the alarm it must occasion, and soon slavery was again established.
Dessalines, the present commander consented to be the instrument of reducing his countrymen to obedience, till the sale of whole cargoes, and the decrease of the French troops, became signals for revolt. Cruelties multiplied, and in November, 1804, the French troops abandoned the country to the blacks. As victory was sure, the apprehensions from the whites have lessened. But the policy of France which has reminded them of another struggle for their liberty, and which has denied them the commerce of a free people, have excited anew their animosities and resentments. By brutal men the appeal is to force. Of no violence have they not had awful examples. They are now left to perpetrate, what their sufferings and their fears may suggest to them, and we may expect in the attempt to conquer the island, that the extirpation rather than submission of the blacks will be contemplated. Great care is taken that the independent blacks of St. Domingo should not find refuge in any of the French colonies. And danger is apprehended from them in all islands in which slavery is established. ( Salem Register. )
FROM THE PORT FOLIO. Mr. J. Watts of this city, has just published in one volume octavo, from the expensive London edition in three volumes, large duodecimo, The Secret History of the Court and Cabinet of St. Cloud—in a series of letters from a gentleman at Paris—to a nobleman in London, written during the months of August, September and October, 1805.
The three first words of the title page of this curious volume will affect, with the power of a talisman, the majority of the readers. It appears to be part of our nature, and much of our habit, to hunt after anecdote and Secret History. In addition to the propensity we feel to investigate the actions of our neighbours we are stimulated by a still stronger passion, curious of the memoirs of the great. After we have fatiated scandal with the prattle of the tea-table, we saunter into the library with Tacitus and Davila, and dive into the cabinets of princes.
Of the class of memoir writers, the French have unquestionably furnished the greatest number. We shall not stay to ascertain the degree of excellence to which they have attained in this walk of composition, but content ourselves with remarking that both the politician and the soldier, both the courtier and the idler, have written their own memoirs and the memoirs of others; and whether frivolously or elaborately compiled, they have always been perused with an eager and insatiable curiosity. Men have ever been ranged from Sully and Cardinal De Retz, describing the exploits of greatness and the intrigues of statesmen down to the foot soldier, who, with the minute minuteness of the braggart Talfaff, describes the Percy he has slain.
It has this love of private anecdote, the desire of secret information, been limited by the boundaries of French territory. From the age of Charles II. in whose reign works of this kind were exceedingly multiplied, down to the present period, England has indulged her curiosity with an ardor as glowing as that of France. Few books have been read with interest delight than Mrs. Beine's, Mrs. Manley's, Bishop Burnet's, and the adventures of a guinea.
The present epoch, equally strange and eventful, of the French empire, has furnished such a mass of materials for the construction of a work of this nature, that we may not be surprised at the appearance of many an artifice. Among these laborers, we find the author of the work we are announcing, and when we reflect for an instant on the subject he has selected, The Court and Cabinet of St. Cloud, we must infer, that it presents topics enough to provoke the most torpid curiosity.
The author's name does not appear in the title page, but this circumstance is not weighty enough to overthrow the authority of his book. No man dares to employ his signature, who dares from Paris, under a military despotism, and describes with freedom and minuteness the characters and exploits of men, who in the true spirit of jibes and adventures, have, in a gash of republican rags, travelled through many a low level, and many a palmy post until they attained the possession of a sort of mock majesty, with a lackered sceptre, a crown of tinsel and a tawdry robe. The historian of such people will be anonymous. For the sake of notoriety he must not jeopardize his security, and must not for, the publication of the chapters of fame, expose himself even to the chance of the soldier's dagger, or the dungeons of the Temple.
All who prefer Mande ville's system to Shaftesbury's, all who delight to trace the tortuosities of the human heart, and survey human nature on the fabliau lid, will peruse this book with great interest and edification. In particular, the details of political partisans, called Anti-Jacobins, men not more remarkable for their zeal than for their rectitude, these memoirs will be both a manual and a treasure. In the progress of fortunate freebooters, who have suddenly changed the squalid disguise of democracy for the gorgeous purple of despotism, all the disciples of Edmund Burke, all the votaries of wisdom, sobriety and experience, will see nothing more than the natural history of that accursed asp and coquette, which has poisoned half the nations. By every lynx-eyed and sagacious politician, it will be instantly perceived, that the creature in all its changes is still the same; that the windy gale is but a loathsome yet, though he be cast off his republican skin, and in the words of an eloquent writer, "thines forth in a new guise."
Of the style of this performance it may be remarked, that it has much of epistolary ease, or rather, the vivacity of conversation. It is generally neat, and often nervous.
The typography is very well executed, and its remarkable cheapness cannot fail of attracting the attention of the purchasers, when it is remembered that the London copy, which is very indifferently printed, sells for 18 shillings sterling.
* On this topic nothing can be more justly or more agreeably said, than by Goldsmith, who has described this propensity in human nature, with his usual good humor. Every reader, however beggarly himself, is fond of high life and high lived dialogues, with anecdotes of lords, ladies, and knights of the garter. Hence, it follows, from the position of this sprightly writer, that we modest republicans must be infinitely delighted, by flaring at the figures in the new French dynasty who glare upon the dazzled sight, like the blue, red and green pieces of pasteboard in the Savoyard's box, or like the tremendous apparitions in the Chinese shades.  Come like shadows, so depart!

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude; as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable — The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicines necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with forseness and with obstructed and difficult breathing. On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper: he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of his invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures — juvenile indiscretions — residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution — the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance — the unskillful or excessive use of mercury — the diseases peculiar to females as a certain period of life — bad lying in, &c. &c.
 And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of  Nervous Disorders; Violent cramps in the stomach and back.  Consumptions, Indigestion,  Lowness of spirits, Melancholy,  Loss of appetite, Gout in the stomach,  Impurity of the blood, Pains in the limbs,  Hysterical affections, Relaxations,  Inward weakness, Involuntary emissions,  Seminal weaknesses, Obstinate gleet,  Fluoribus (or whites) Impotency, &c. &c.  Barrenness, 
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. &c. As it has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public. Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, be Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness, in the stomach and bowels. This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary a particular excellence of this is
contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body, but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints and the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Terec or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints — It is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning — Bad and corrupted gums — itching in the nose and about the seat — Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech — Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep — Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious — Purging, with slimy and foetid stools — Vomiting — Large and hard belly — Pains and sickness at the stomach — Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits — Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse — A dry cough — Excessive thirst — Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has refused to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES —
By Hamilton's
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation — his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business — when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor — Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify their particular merits is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER Minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repleed with many small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually infest children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
