USEFUL PROPERTIES OF YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine. THIS highly useful Machine is found by experience to excel any hitherto in use. It will wash as many cloaths (by the assistance of one person) in an hour as can be washed in a whole day, without the possibility of injuring, fretting or tearing the most delicate article, and with less than half the quantity of soap. It occupies very little more space than the common wash-tub, and with the least care will not create any slop or wet—the construction is very simple and attended with little expence. A further description of its qualities is now deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed none will purchase without examining it. We the subscribers do hereby certify that we have found, on trial, the above named Machine to answer fully the above description. Given under our hands this 5th day of May, A. D. 1809. John Sellers, John Markland, Elizabeth Lomax, Susan Sellers, Samuel Hatterflay, Eleanor Bufel, Sarah Drown, Mary Higdon, John Drown. I have examined the above Machine, seen it in operation, and believe it to answer the description. J. Swift.

Letter from the Secretary of the Navy, transmitting a general view of the state and disposition of the vessels belonging to the Navy of the United States, and of the Gun Boats. May 25th, 1809. Ordered to lie on the table.
NAVY DEPARTMENT, May 24th, 1809.
SIR, I have the honor of transmitting to you herewith, to be laid before the House of Representatives, the enclosed paper marked A, which will afford a general view of the state and disposition, at this time, of the vessels belonging to the navy of the United States, and of the gun boats.
It appears proper here to observe, for the information of the House of Representa- tives, that the frigates Constitution and Chesapeake, the ship Wasp, the brigs Hor- net and Argus, and the schooners Revenge and Enterprize, were in commission prior to the passage of the act, entitled "An act authorising the employment of an addition- al naval force," passed 31st January, 1809; and that the frigates President, United States & Essex, the corvette John Adams, the brigs Siren, Vixen and Nautilus, and the cutter Ferret, have been put in com- mission since the passing of that law, a- greably to its provisions; that the frigates United States and Essex, and the corvette John Adams have had such thorough re- pair and improvement, that practical gen- tlemen pronounce them to be, at this time, better and more efficient vessels than they were when originally launched; and that the frigate President is now undergoing a thorough repair which is nearly completed, and being repaired under the advantages afforded by extensive experience, she will be, in all respects, greatly superior to what she was when first launched.
Respectfully submitted, PAUL HAMILTON.
The hon. Joseph B. Varnum, Speaker of the H. of Representatives.

GEN. WILKINSON AND GEN. ADAIR.
From the New-Orleans Gazette of the 28th April.
MADAM FOURAGE's, April 20th 1809.
SIR, AT no period since the 14th of Janu- ary, 1807, has it been in my power to address
you—I need not now remind you of what took place by your order on that day—So far as related to myself, the effects have been too severely felt ever to be forgotten. A person insulted; a wounded reputation and injured funds excite feelings in the breast of a man which call for reparation—Justice would not wait such a call; a soldier can- not with honor, refuse to repair the wrongs he has done, so far as may yet be in his power. To obtain this is the object of the present note. General Hopkins, who will hand you this, is my friend, fully acquainted with my wishes—to his decision I submit myself. It is not convenient for me to remain long in this city; I hope to hear from you on this subject as soon as convenience will permit.
I am sir, Your most obedient,
JOHN ADAIR.
Gen. James Wilkinson.
ORLEANS, 26th April 1809.
On the 21st instant I waited on general Wilkinson, at his quarters, with this note [alluding to the above.] The general po- sitively refused to receive it, and gave as his only reason that general Adair had threaten- ed and menaced to assassinate him—He af- ter some conversation on the subject inform- ed me, he would send me his friend, to whom I might explain more particularly the object of general Adair's note; and that he would receive from him such impressions as should govern him on the subject. A. L. Duncan, esq. as the general's friend, and my- self had an interview on the 25th. The re- sult was that general Wilkinson declined receiving any communication from general Adair, which was finally made known to me on the 25th.
SAM. HOPKINS.
I publish the above documents, not on account of any effect they may produce as to my own standing in society; but that the people of this city who feel and respect their honor, truth or honesty, may the better know the man, with whom they are in some measure obliged to associate.
I am no duelist, nor do I wish to acquire a name in that way—I have been denoun- ced as a traitor to my country; and although no specific charge has been produced against me, yet the denunciation (in the manner in which it took place) was in my mind as un- pardonable as it was ungrateful and irrepar- able—more especially as the outrage was committed under the orders of the very man who had been for years soliciting me to join him in leading an expedition into Mexico; the act which he now has been able, through his own and good affidavit men, to twist into treason.
In justification to my own feelings I may be allowed once more to assert, that I ne- ver have been engaged in any military en- terprize, or political scheme whatever, cal- culated to disturb the peace of this city, or do an injury to my country—And as treason (the crime with which I have been charged) cannot be committed by a single individual, I call on the person to come forward and declare himself whom I have ever attempted in any way to seduce from his allegiance to the government of the U. States.
There is not a man living, whom, to my own knowledge, has been engaged in any treasonable project, or received a pension for treasonable purposes from any foreign government, Gen. James Wilkinson, except- ed.
Low and contemptible as this man has stood for some time past in the opinion of my countrymen, as well as myself, I would not have stooped to invite him to a meeting had it not been that he is still permitted to wear the coat of a soldier, and wield the sword of my country. Nor would I have believed that he could have been stimulated to meet a call of honor from any man, had it not been for his late vaporing and boasting as a duelist in the Atlantic states, added to his own declarations to that effect. I have now done with him in this way, firmly be- lieving that he is a COWARD, and that to apply any weapon of chastisement to him more formidable than a horse-whip, would but disgrace the arm making the application.
JOHN ADAIR.

Battalion Courts of Enquiry will be held at the court house, on Tuesday, the 30th in- stant, for the assessment of fines—and a Le- gionary Court of Enquiry will be held at the same place, on Saturday, the 10th June next, for hearing appeals, and performing other duties required by Law. The court will be opened at ten o'clock on each day.

(VIA PHILADELPHIA.)
From the (Amsterdam) Royal Courant of the 5th April.
LOUIS NAPOLEON by the grace of God, and constitution of the kingdom, king of Holland and constable of France, taking in- to consideration that the term prescribed by our decree of the 27th of November, 1808, No. 5, expires on the 31st instant. Taking into consideration that it is necessary, at the present period to take further measures, ei- ther for the renewal of the aforesaid decree, or the previous decrees, respecting the means of carrying into execution the prohibition of all commerce with the enemy, or of re- placing them, in whole or in part, by other measures calculated to place all matters re- lative to navigation on a footing of complete uniformity with the decree of France and of our brother the emperor; & notwithstanding the difficulties arising from the maritime war; and those which commerce suffers for its own interest, being continually anxious to contribute to that important object, we have decreed and hereby decree:
Article 1. All commerce, correspondence and communication with England remains prohibited according to the purport of our previous laws, decrees, and regulations, and particularly such of them as expired on the 31st instant, so far as no alterations is there- in made by the present decree.

Art. 4. In order to the admission of any vessel into the harbors of this kingdom, they must enter in ballast, or laden with the products of the north, specified in the 3d article, with the exception of such ves- sels as are laden with salt, or those which in the years 1806 or 1807 obtained our li- cence to proceed to China for a cargo of tea, upon shewing authority.
Art. 6. No other goods than those men- tioned in the 4th article shall be suffered to be imported under any pretence whatever; all prohibited goods of whatever descrip- tion, and in whatever quantity imported, and also the vessels on board which they may be found, being hereby declared liable to confiscation.
Art. 7. In case of suspicions arising re- specting the origin of the cargo, from in- formation received by the officers of the marine director, the same shall be provi- sionally sequestrated until proof be given that it has not come from England or her colonies.
Art. 8. Our consuls in giving certificates of origin for goods shipped at their ports of residence for Dutch ports, shall not con- fine themselves to certifying that the goods neither come from England nor her colo- nies, nor belong to English commerce, but they shall further specify the place from whence the goods originally came, the doc- uments produced to them in proof of the respective declarations, and the names of the vessels in which they were conveyed from the place of origin to the port where the consuls reside. They are required to transmit a copy of the said declaration to our marine director.
[The other articles relate to the details of the manner in which the above articles are to be carried into execution, by a marine director and three naval commanders of the coast district.]—The Decree is dated at Utrecht March 31.
The following is a list of goods, which from the 1st of April, 1809, are permitted to be exported and imported to and from alli- ed or neutral states, in Dutch vessels or those of allied or neutral powers, to and from the harbors of Amsterdam, Rotter- dam, Dord, Groningen, Embden, Harlin- gen, Veere, Zeirker, Dalszyl, and Bronwer- shaven.

The brig Merchant, Weeks, left at vanna, 16 days since, the brig Cygne, Co for Boston, in 10 days.
From a file of Calcutta Papers to the of Jan. 1809. [Per the Magdalen.
The American ship Cronoke, arriv- Lebon Nedgess, west coast of Sumatra, the 23d of Nov. from England; and ship Mary Ann, Beatie, at Padang on 2d of Nov. in 98 days from Salem; of the above ships were loading with per, and the Mary Ann had proc- considerable supply.
PENANG, Nov. 28, 1808.
On Saturday arrived the American brig Creole, last from Madras.
The arrival of the ship Magdalen in river Hooghly, was the subject of much congratulation at Calcutta; she was gre- ed as the harbinger of good news, and most a general joy was diffused through place, it being at first supposed that all ference were settled between England America, and that a renewal of the intercourse with India had taken place, suspension of which, even for a short time, had caused a great stagnation in some bran- es of the trade of Bengal. When the motive of the Magdalen's appearance known though nothing favorable or un- favorable could be inferred from her arrival (she having sailed under a special lic- from the American government) and withstanding the disappointment of the lic expectation, she was received and ed as a vessel of the most friendly nation very facility extended to her as former American vessels, and placed on the footing as their own ships.
From the British ships of war in In- every civility and politeness was expen- ed that could have been desired particu- regarding the crew; in no instance there an attempt to examine either the or their protections.
There were three American sailors in William prisoners of war, who had been taken in October last serving on board French national corvette Le Yena; on plication being made claiming them as americans, the governor general in council gave an order for their delivery to captain Watkinson, commander of the Magdalen.
An embargo was laid on at Calcutta the 7th of November by the government which was understood to be permanent during the war, excepting for the regular appointed convoys. French frigates & privateers had greatly distressed the trade India, particularly in the bay of Bengal.
A short time previous to the arrival the Magdalen, the French corvette La na, was taken off the Sandheads by H. M. frigate La Modeste, captain Elliot, after a long chase. This corvette was same vessel that last year, under the name of La Revenant, commanded by the noted Surcouf, had made so many valuable prizes in the bay. On account of her swift sail- she had been put in requisition by the go- vernour of the Isle of France as a nation- vessel, and stationed off the Sandheads there she had for some time eluded all British cruisers, and intercepted many ves- sels entering the Hooghly. There had wise been two small privateers in the bay and in the month of November, the French frigate Carole, captured on the coast of Su- matra an English sloop of war, and seven merchant ships. In the China sea there was a heavy privateer.
All the Danish ships that had been se- ized in Hooghly, have finally been condemn- ed by the court of admiralty, Bengal, to- gether with their cargoes, as prizes to the captors, and in some cases as droits of ad- miralty.
Two American ships had arrived on the coast of Sumatra, and were purchasing pep- per. The ship Atlantic, captain Burrows, of New-York, had arrived in January from Madras from Madeira, and was there loading for America.
A great mortality prevailed in Calcutta.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, May 29.
[Taken for the Alexandria Gazette.]
Three other members, appeared, were qualified and took their seats.
Mr. Gardenier moved to amend the journal, and after some time spent in conversation upon the motion, the question was called for, and the motion ordered to be reduced to writing, according to the standing rules of the house, this the mover refused to do, and the motion consequently fell.
Another attempt was made to kidnap time, on a question of order, agitated by Mr. Randolph, and succeeded to perfection for the matter of an hour.
Mr. Randolph called for the consideration of his resolution, approbatory of the President's conduct in his late measure of negotiation with Great Britain.
Mr. Jackson said the motion of the gentleman was not in order, agreeably to a decision of the chair, confirmed by the house, that an hour should be appropriated in the morning for reading petitions and other communications, that more than an hour had elapsed in discussing that question, but not an hour for the usual business.
Mr. Jackson's objection was overruled by the Speaker,
When the resolution with the amendment was read,
And the question taken, Will the house now consider the said resolution? and decided in the affirmative, ayes 66, nays 61.
When the question on indefinite postponement occurred.
Mr. Dana. Whatever may be my opinion on the proposition to pass such a resolution, I cannot agree to an indefinite postponement. I am now ready, however, to give an opinion on the conduct of the president—of him I have nothing to hope or fear. What has been said on the question proposed I have listened to with attention. Is there any thing in the time or transaction requiring a vote of this house? And what was the situation of this country prior to the ascendency of the present administration? It was on the very verge of dissolution, through internal dissensions. Now approaches are turned to gratulations, and an extensive harmony prevailing. At the last session the executive was authorised to suspend certain laws under certain conditions; where he was left the power of consulting his judgment if such conditions were complied with. And it is this which requires the legislative interposition—whether he acted according to the true interpretation of the law? If we pass an approbatory vote we give sanction to his interpretation.—The British government gave assurances of performing certain acts which the President expected; and upon the faith of these assurances took the steps which he has taken; and the question is, whether these steps are accordant with the spirit of the law? For my part, feel no disposition to retract the president & secretary who conduct this negotiation the praise which I consider they merit in their spirit of accommo-
dation. As to the attack on the Chesapeake it was an attack on the honor of the nation; and which has been held as an authority for declaring war, if unatoned. The President is made by the constitution the legal agent of negotiation; but if he has not the power to make a positive peace, should not congress express an opinion to sanction a nominal one, to strengthen his late amicable conduct? I will give my approbation to the transaction.
[This days proceedings to be continued.]
We have hinted that the conduct of Mr. Madison towards Great-Britain, though it has not been very boldly censured, by the Jeffersonian faction, is very little to their liking. Their dissatisfaction begins to shew itself, from day to day, more explicitly.—The Trenton True American , tells a story, which conveys a palpable slur on the new President. "In the days of Grecian degeneracy and corruption," says this paper, "PHOCION was addressing the Athenians from the rostrum; when observing he was generally applauded by the people, he turned to the friend next him and enquired, "Did you observe that I committed any egregious blunder?"

"In Mr. Madison's message, we discover the characteristic caution of the man.—Whether he is right in confiding so much in England, time will tell. But, the recommendation to Congress to protect the infant manufactures of our country, we unequivocally approve; and so will nine-tenths of the true American family."
Philadelphia Register.
BUSINESS REVIVING WITH GEN. WILKINSON.
On the 21st April gen. John Adair, by his friend general Hopkins, sent a note to general James Wilkinson; the latter, after "time allowed for consideration," refused to receive the note. General Adair then published the "Commander in Chief," in the Orleans Gazette, as a treasonable pensioner and coward, and as deserving in future no higher notice than horse-whip attention. General A. "does not, he says, make the publication on account of his own standing in society; but that the people of Orleans may know General Wilkinson.—Three days after this publication, the same paper contains a "to the public." Signed "A Virginian." This writer says, that General Wilkinson held himself in readiness for two years to meet or communicate with General Adair; but now, "that he is placed at the head of a new army, in an important and distant command, he is under no obligation to meet one implicated in Burr's treason." We have not room for the whole publications, as in the papers before us. Ed. Fed. Gaz.
New Tub to the Whale.
The tub which will be thrown out to the great whale of popularity, the present session of Congress, will be, encouragement to manufactures. It will be a fine theme for popular declamation. But altho' the Merino sheep may produce great wool with little cry, this sort of national patronage will be but "great cry and little wool." It will be all talk and no action. There will be nothing done. [Freeman's Journal.]
The Gothic Wall.
The wall that almost surrounds the presidential palace has been very properly called a Gothic one. It is a rude and heavy mass of stone, inelegant and disagreeable. The days of post-and-rail fence, however, are over. Mr. Jefferson's fences, like his gun-boats, and his castles in the air, and his castles on the Capes, have passed away.—The northern door of the palace is thrown open, and instead of clambering over rustic fences and opening rustic gates, a gentleman may walk or drive his carriage up a neat avenue to the place where the Man of the People resides, without the least obstruction. [Ibid.]
From the Freeman's Journal.
FROM WASHINGTON MAY 24. Executive Directory.
A caucus of nine would-be leading members have assembled to take into consideration the propriety of demanding a categorical answer from President Madison to the question whether the republican party are to understand that he will persevere in his late measures, or rather what measures are in future to be expected? It was tho' best on the whole, not to adopt such a measure precipitately. But these gentlemen did not conceal their dissatisfaction. And one of the Kentuckians declared that he was assured, that the genuine eastern republicans participated in their disapprobation of
the late measures. These men say that they did not appoint an extra session to make PEACE WITH ENGLAND, but to make WAR WITH ENGLAND. If they should not create an Executive Directory at present, they will do so before the next presidential election. They will never trust any man as President hereafter, who will not pledge himself before hand to a certain course of measures which will be prescribed for him. This may be considered as a settled point.
Our Ariel is again busily at work, and promises a faithful report of secret proceedings
Extract of a letter from St. Bartholomews, of May 3, to a gentleman in Boston.
"It has been apprehended here, that in consequence of the revolution in Sweden, the English would take possession of this island; and yesterday the inhabitants are quite in a consternation on account of a squadron appearing off here. They afterwards came in and proved to be Cochrane's, returned from chasing the L'Orient fleet. They have brought in one 80 gun ship. The rest of the Frenchmen escaped."
From the Norfolk Ledger.
The former President Adams, is occupied in writing a series of essays, which are published in a democratic paper called the "Boston Patriot," and are going the round of republication in all the democratic papers to the north. The first numbers of these essays were from motives of compassion passed over by us without notice, yet had we foreseen their tendency and extent, we should have inserted them in the Ledger, but it is now too late, as we have not preserved the first numbers, and the meeting of Congress, which takes place in a few days, will furnish us with more interesting matter than the passionate ebullitions of a vain, mortified, and irritable old man. It was remarked of Cicero, that with many great and rare qualities, he was destroyed by vanity, "it was his cardinal vice." Mr. Adams with a few of the qualities of the Roman orator and statesman, has more vanity than ever fell to the share of any human being. We disdain to apply to the democratic papers, or to their great idol, for a character of John Adams, for they have portrayed it, as marked not only with egregious folly and excessive vanity, but by all the political turpitude that could be attached to the vilest and most profligate statesman. The Book published by Gen. Hamilton (by many, and by us among others, deemed injudicious at that time) was a most faithful picture of the man, and proved the profound wisdom of Hamilton, in his knowledge of the human character.
Mr. Adams we believe to be an honest man (Mr. Jefferson and all the democrats to the contrary notwithstanding) but a man too much under the influence of his passions ever to be a great man, and of course very unfit to be the head of a great nation, or even at the head of a party. The exclusion of his son as a senator for the state of Massachusetts, has driven the old gentleman to excesses which excite the pity of his former friends, and the secret contempt, tho' professed applause of his former enemies. He has lately published the private and unofficial observations which took place between him and the leading federalists at the time he was president, touching important measures. With all our belief of the integrity of Mr. Adams, we are not prepared to admit that a person of his irritable temper, soured by his own and the public mortifications of his son, is capable of giving a "very impartial" statement of facts that occurred 10 years back, when his present admirers said he was in "his dotage." Nor would we be understood as expressing any regret at what he has published, or any apprehension of what he can publish, as relates to the public or private conduct of those with whom he was then associated. Those honorable men (or such of them as are now alive) will feel no resentment towards this unfortunate old revolutionary patriot, they will consider him as one who is dead and say of him—
"The good which men have done, lives after them, And the evil is often interred with their bones."
If the men who Mr. Adams, is now employed in rendering odious in the public estimation, were capable of exposing his opinions of his present friends, what an absurd light would he not appear in? What would Mr. Jefferson say, if he was informed of Mr. Adams' expressions, when the latter found a letter which the former had written to President Washington, respecting the famous Mazzie letter? We are truly sorry, that a man, who has been so much distinguished by his country's favor, should be capable of acting the little, (and if we did not believe that it proceeds more from passion, & the infirmity of old age than vice) we should say the dishonorable part, which Mr. Adams has recently assumed.

Doctor I. J. Comyn, A professional DENTIST—of Baltimore, RESPECTFULLY acquaints the Ladies and Gentlemen of Alexandria, that he intends to practice in this place for a few days, in all the various branches of his profession. No gentle person of either sex, can give or receive pleasure or comfort, by teeth coated with tartar or decayed gums, or fetid breath. His method of cleaning the teeth will be found both easy and efficacious, as hundreds can attest in Baltimore and elsewhere. Without giving pain, or hurting the enamel, he removes the tartar, &c. when the teeth will assume a beautiful appearance the gums adhering to the teeth; but if the state of the gums require it, doctor C. will give to the person an antiscorbutic lotion of chemical preparation, which gained the applause of hundreds both in Europe and America.—It is pleasant, innocent, and effectual, in smoothing and whitening the teeth and curing the gums, rendering them red and firm, preventing the decay of the teeth and sweetening the breath. Doct. C. fits artificial teeth from one to an entire set, with such nicety, as to answer the useful purposes of nature, and of so natural an appearance that it is impossible to distinguish them from real ones. Dr. C. flatters himself from his being regularly bred to the practice of physick, as well as to the Dentist Business, and his long experience on the continent of Europe (France and Spain) to give to all those who favour him with their commands, every possible satisfaction. May 13. N. B. Doctor C. will wait on any lady or gentleman at their respective houses, or may be consulted at the City Tavern.

Twenty Dollars Reward. RANAWAY from Preston farm, near the town of Alexandria, about three weeks ago, a negro boy, named DANIEL, aged about sixteen, black complexion, full, plump round face, with a scar under one of the eyes, about five feet high, a sullen down look, and fond of swearing when angry: Had on when he went away, blue and white twilled woollen trowsers, and round jacket, considerably worn. He has probably been decoyed to Loudoun or Berkley by some waggoners, as he was seen on the Leesburgh road, driving a covered waggon, Thursday last. Also, about the same time, a negro girl named PEGG, about seventeen years of age, short, flat and broad shouldered, large limbed, very flat nose, large eyes, thick lips, & white broad teeth, stammers in speaking, and has the scar of a burn near one of her ears; had on a dark blue woolen cloth habit and a black muslin one over it. As they are very artful, they will perhaps change their names and dress. The latter has been lately seen near the Falls Church. Five dollars will be given for apprehending either of the said negroes if found in the neighborhood of Alexandria, if out of the said neighborhood, ten dollars will be given for committing either of them to the County jail, or for such information as will enable me to apprehend them.

TO THE PUBLIC. Who are affected with Coughs, Colds, Asthma and Consumptions.
THERE is perhaps no medical observation better established, none more generally confirmed by the experience of the best physicians of all ages and countries, and none of more importance to the practitioner, than the fact, that many of the most difficult and incurable complaints originate in neglected COLDS. In a climate as variable as ours, where the changes of the weather, are frequently sudden and unexpected, it requires more care and attention, to guard against this subtle and dangerous enemy of life, than most people imagine, or are willing to bestow. Hence the vast number of patients afflicted with coughs, catarrhs, asthma and consumptions. The many cases of the kind which fell under my observation, the disappointment I experienced in practice, from remedies highly recommended, and my own pre-disposition to pulmonary complaints, were strong inducements for me to consider when ther a compound, consisting of mild vegetable substances could not be invented, more free from the well founded objections of practitioners, and better calculated to avert the threatening destruction of the lungs. I have the satisfaction to offer to the public such a remedy, under the name of the VEGETABLE PULMONIC DETERGENT, well adapted to various constitutions and habits, and to declare with the fullest confidence that I found this composition far superior to others intended to answer the same purpose. I am perfectly satisfied, that practitioners, who have frequently to combat the effects of suppressed perspiration and do not neglect he use of the lancet and other evacuations, whenever they are indicated, will place this medicine on the list of their most favorite remedies; as it can in no case do harm. I will bide by this motto—
NO RELIEF NO PAY. This motto may be deemed ostentatious by some, and amounting to a positiveness that the medicine will invariably effect a cure in any stage of a disease. like a miracle; the proprietor is far from believing that this medicine will render mankind immortal; but he is fully sensible if taken seasonably, and according to the directions, it will either prevent or cure, and if unseasonably, it will most sensibly alleviate distress and prolong life—and having no desire to profit by the confidence of the sick and afflicted, induces me to make the above overture; should the contrary appear in any instance, as in some it possibly may, the money for the medicine will be cheerfully refunded by the person who may vend the same. GEORGE ROGERS.
N. B. The above named medicine is secured to the subscriber by letters patent from the President of the United States, and prepared at his Dispensary in Northampton, county of Hampshire and state of Massachusetts.
TO THE PUBLIC. The great benefit which I have experienced from Rogers's Vegetable, &c. and a firm persuasion that it may afford relief of others, induce me to make every laudable exertion for its distribution. For five years preceding the last of Dec 1807, in consequence of taking a violent cold I had been afflicted with the Asthma, a disorder which I conceived to be hereditary, my father and grand-father both having greatly suffered from it. The disorder increasing rapidly upon me, in the spring of 1807, I consulted Dr. C. L. Seeger, but the urgency of his business prevented him from attending at that time, particularly to my case. My business made it necessary for me to leave home, and be absent the greatest part of summer, which deprived me of the able professional assistance of Dr. Seeger. In Sept. last, a severe cold brought on a violent cough, and the disorder assumed an aspect more serious and alarming than at any former period—I was extremely debilitated, emaciated and confined. Such was the irritability of my lungs, I was obliged to use the greatest caution in the act of respiration. After a free use of Rogers's Vegetable, &c. for about two months, I was perfectly relieved of the dreadful cough which had so long afflicted me, and completely cured of every symptom of the Asthma—In short, blessed be God, I have continued in sound health ever since.—As these facts may be important to those unfortunate individuals who are suffering from the same disorder, I have been thus particular in their detail. And I do not hesitate to declare my solemn conviction, both from my own experience and observing its effects upon others, that Rogers's V. P. D. is an easy, safe and effectual remedy for coughs and Asthma, and is the greatest antidote to all pulmonary complaints that the world has ever witnessed. Jacob W. Brewster. Northampton, January, 1809.
THIS may certify, that about the first of October last, I was attacked with a violent cough, which proceeded, as was the opinion of my physician who is a man well approved of in his profession, from a bruise which I
had received on my left side about a fortnight before. By his consent I tried Rogers's Vegetable Detergent—I was very weak and low, and took but half the quantity prescribed by his directions. In three days I was much relieved, and in eight days quite cured of my cough. Moses Parsons, jun. Northampton, Feb. 1809. Northampton, Mass. Feb. 1809. I James Heaton, also hereby certify, that in the fall of the year 1808, I was seized with a severe cold attended by an obstinate and distressing cough. The violence of my cough soon produced a pain in my side and breast, and frequent spitting of blood, in short, all the horrid symptoms of a consumption were rapidly assailing me. In this situation I was recommended to Dr. George Rogers, who rendered me immediate relief by administering his Vegetable Detergent. I have continued the use of it ever since, and for three months past, though not completely restored to health, I have been able constantly to attend to my business—and I fully believe that my partial restoration has been solely owing (under God) to this valuable medicine. James Heaton.
To the Public. IN consequence of taking a severe cold in May, 1808, I was seized with a violent pain in my side, attended with a distressing cough, which, although I had the advice and prescriptions of a respectable physician, lasted me four weeks, without any alleviation. I then applied to Dr. George Rogers, who administered his Vegetable Pulmonic Detergent, which gave me immediate relief; and in ten days I was entirely freed from the pain in my side and cough. Charles Chapman. Northampton, March, 1809. I, Elijah Norton, jun. of Westampton, in Massachusetts, do certify, that in the last year I was attended with a great debility, weakness of the lungs, distressed for breath, and a violent cough, attended with a fever for a number of months: about the fifteenth of August I began the use of Dr. George Rogers's Vegetable Pulmonic Detergent. I kept in the use of it about three months, immediately after taking this medicine my cough abated, and I could breathe with more freedom. I would recommend the medicine from my own experience, to those who are troubled with a cough, and disorders of the lungs and breast, & consumptive complaints, and do believe it to be a valuable and useful medicine.
