RAZOR, SOAP & WATER,
RENDERED UNNECESSARY By the inimitable newly invented Shaving Composition Cakes.
[By a gentleman lately arrived in this coun- try from the continent of Europe.]
By gentle friction to the beard they have the complete effect of shaving—and the paste are assured, that they do not contain a single ingredient which might have the smallest tendency to injure the skin; but on the contrary they leave, after the removal of the beard, a most agreeable smoothness and softness on the skin, and entirely destroys cutaneous eruptions, &c. which occasion ve- ry disagreeable and distressing pain in shav- ing with a razor.
There are a few for sale at the bookstore Mr ROBERT GRAY, at one and two dol- lars each.
The two dollar cake will be sufficient for twelve months, and shave every day—the one dollar for six months.

For the Alexandria Daily Gazette.
MR. SNOWDEN,
IT must afford the most heartfelt gratification to every friend to order, to liberty and the prosperity of his country, to behold such persons as Bernard Hooe, jun. James H. Hooe, and Richard Coleman, Esquires, consenting to leave their beloved homes and to sacrifice domestic comfort and private interest to the service of their country—The former in the Senate for the district composed of the counties of Fairfax and Prince William—the two latter in the House of Representatives, for this county. These gentlemen deservedly hold a high rank as individuals—In every virtue that can adorn the private gentleman or faithful citizen they are surpassed by none—Friendly, candid, active, industrious and intelligent, they fulfil every social duty, exhibiting in every relation of life an example worthy of imitation. Possessing considerable property, acquired principally by their own industry, they feel no interest distinct from that of their fellow-citizens.
It is only by confiding our public concerns to such men, independent in circumstances and pure in character, whatever may be their political theories, that we can hope to have our essential interests promoted, and our republican institutions maintained in full vigor: for such men, pursuing no personal objects, must in all critical emergencies of their country, feel alike and act alike.—Party prejudices too frequently veil the fitness of the candidates for public employment. "Fallen on evil days, and evil tongues, and with darkness and with danger compass'd round," it is time, in the choice of the guardians of our rights, to look at the uniform character of the man and enquire whether he has any interest to subserve which is not common to us all. In these highly respectable gentlemen we find no distinct interest, no aspiring ambition, no party rancor—The public service their aim, the public good their end. In every respect these are the kind of men we want. Can the citizens refuse them their votes? That they may not is the wish of MANY FREEHOLDERS.
Fairfax county, April 1, 1809.
MR. BAYARDS SPEECH,
Upon his motion to amend the resolution offered by Mr. GILES, by striking out that part which is in italics. Delivered in the Senate of the United States, Tuesday, Feb. 14, 1809.
[CONTINUED.]
It is of importance, Mr. President, to consider in the late negotiation, who were the men in power in the respective countries. Can our president ever expect to see an English administration more disposed to treat upon favorable terms with this country, than the FOX administration? The name of Fox is, the most grateful English name that is known to an American ear. From my childhood I have heard that Fox was the friend of America. He was the early champion of our rights, when Britain first attempted to deprive us of them. His voice was always raised in our favor, in opposition to the crown. Fox was at the head of the ancient whig interest of England, and a firm supporter of the principles of freedom. He was too a philanthropist, and deemed in sentiment, by some, a citizen of the world. He was additionally, sir, a French citizen, as well as our worthy president.
I hope it will not be thought that I mention with any invidious view, this last circumstance—I state it only for the material purpose of shewing the community of character between these men, which recommended them to the fraternization of the French people. If Mr. Jefferson was not willing to accept the treaty which Mr. Fox offered him, from what administration in England can he expect a better? And may I not ask also if he can look to men in the United States, in whom he will have more confidence, for their skill and integrity, than in those whom he employed in the late negotiation. We have all heard that Mr. Monroe was his early and bosom friend, and we have all seen that he has been his favorite minister.
Let us also not forget the time when the treaty was concluded—no time could have been more propitious; it was at the moment when England was sinking under the tri-
umphs of her adversary. Bonaparte had just broken to pieces the power of Prussia, driven the Russians to their frontier, and converted their emperor from an enemy into an ally. If you are not satisfied with the terms which England was willing to grant you at a moment of depression, can you look for better when she has less to fear from your enmity, or to hope from your friendship?
You find, sir, that your president was favored by every circumstance in the negotiation of the treaty which he finally rejected.
It is not a little remarkable that he should have undertaken to reject this treaty without consulting the senate, his constitutional advisers. He was in possession of a copy of the treaty while the senate were in session—they were not allowed to see it: he would not trust their opinions upon it. They might have approved of it; and his responsibility would have been still greater to have rejected it after they had agreed to it. You will pardon me for speaking plainly—it is my duty to express my conviction, though I may happen to be wrong.
To me it has always appeared that your president was taken by surprise when he found a British treaty laid at his door. His instructions to his ministers precluded the possibility of a treaty, and it never entered his head that they had been daring enough to conclude a treaty against his orders. But the ministers having obtained what they considered the substance, disregarded the form, and sent a treaty as little looked for as desired.
I do not mean to contend that the president was bound to lay this treaty before the senate, but exercising the power to reject it without their advice, he took upon himself a responsibility, and is answerable for all the consequences of an act exclusively his own. To this act, in my opinion, may be attributed the present embarrassments of our country. Had the treaty been accepted our trade would have flourished as heretofore, and with it our agriculture, manufactures, and the fisheries. But it pleased our chief magistrate to reject it, and every day has since added to the gloom which has spread over our country.
In this condition was the state of our affairs when an unexpected event occurred, calculated to inflame to the highest pitch the animosity of our citizens against the British government. I allude to the attack of the Leopard upon the Chesapeake, in June, 1807. In relation to this outrage the people of America felt but one sentiment. A more wanton, flagitious, and perfidious act never was perpetrated. It is an act which America never will nor ought to forgive till it is expiated by adequate satisfaction. But still, sir, we must restrain our indignation while we enquire whose act it was, and who is answerable for it. The material enquiry is, was it or has it become the act of the British government?
The British minister, as soon as the news of the occurrence reached him, voluntarily and unasked, declared that it was unauthorized by the government. He disavowed it in parliament, and the king himself confirmed the disavowal.
It rested then as the act of Berkeley. The nation however were bound to make satisfaction for the injury done us by their public servant. If they refuse adequate satisfaction they adopt the act. The government were sensible of this obligation and they took steps to comply with it. They sent a special minister for the sole purpose of making reparation for the injury we had suffered. This minister we received, and agreed to consider the outrage which had been committed, as the act of Berkeley. Considered as the act of the government, it would have been an act of open war. You commence a negotiation as to the terms of reparation; but here the same spirit which rejected the treaty, baffles every effort to accommodate this new cause of offence.
When the information of the attack upon one of our public vessels by a British man of war under the orders of an admiral, our government had reason to apprehend that no individual, however high in rank, would have hazarded so daring an outrage without the authority of his government.
With this view, and to preserve peace and tranquility in our harbors, we may consider the president as justified in issuing his proclamation, interdicting the entrance of British armed ships into the waters of the United States. But, sir, the moment it was ascertained that the act of Berkeley was unauthorized; so soon as the government had solemnly disavowed it and offered reparation, the proclamation ought to have been withdrawn. Are you permitted to punish a nation for the acts of subjects in which it does not participate? The law and the practice of civilized nations on this point is explicit and uniform.
When the subject of one power offends
against the sovereignty of another, this will not justify retaliations on other subjects of the same power with the one who offended. It has uniformly been our own doctrine, and it is the common interest of mankind, to maintain it, that in such case you must apply to the sovereign of the party offending, and abstain from any act of hostility till he refuses you reparation. This course our government did not pursue; for the act of an individual they retaliated against his nation.
Upon the grounds which have been stated, you may excuse the issuing of the proclamation; but what excuse is there for its continuance, when we acknowledge ourselves, in treating for reparation, that the act complained of is the act of an individual, and not of his government?
A proclamation like the one issued, without adequate cause, was a breach of neutrality, and a just cause of war. For to admit into your ports and grant succor to the armed ships of one belligerent, while you exclude those of the other, is not consistent with that impartiality which belligerents are entitled to claim from neutrals. The point was so understood, and so felt by the British government—and they required, as they had a right to do, that as they had not committed the act complained of, that the proclamation, which had an operation or appearance of hostility against them, should be recalled. If they refused reparation, we had a right to redress ourselves; but had we a right to take the redress into our own hands, and at the same time to require them to make us reparation? When you ask justice, you must expect to do it. A nation should be as ready to perform its duties, as to insist upon its rights. The British government had given sufficient evidence of a disposition to grant satisfaction for the injury done us, by sending to the country a special minister for the purpose: that minister was instructed to make voluntary reparation, but to grant none under the coercion of the proclamation. In his first communication to the secretary of state, he informed him that his powers did not allow him to make reparation, unless the proclamation was withdrawn. The affair was then managed with sufficient address to catch the popularity of the proclamation must be first withdrawn, its revocation and reparation, were proposed by the secretary of the treasury as simultaneous acts. Why was this proclamation so tenaciously insisted on? If you had revoked it, and the reparation offered was deemed insufficient, you would have had no difficulty in renewing it. It is no task to our president to issue a proclamation: at most we contend only for a point of etiquette, a thing important perhaps in a monarchy, but very little respected among us republicans. Give me leave to say, that in this negotiation, I soon became persuaded that the difference in question, was not to be settled by itself, but to stand open in the general account. If there had been a sincere desire to settle it, the paltry measure of the proclamation would not have formed an obstacle for a moment.

FRIENDLY INTENTIONS OF "FRENCH OFFICERS AND FRENCH ARTILLERISTS." [Vide Mentor in the Monitor.]
When the trumpeters of Bonaparte apologise for, nay justify, the burying of American seamen in the prisons of France, merely because they are supposed to have gone there from England, and call aloud for the aid and instruction of FRENCH OFFICERS, FRENCH ARTILLERY, and French tactics, to put down the real friends of this country; when they triumphantly announce the murder of ten thousand Spaniards in their own houses and homes, and the approaches of hundreds of thousands of Goths and Vandals to the eastern shores of the Atlantic, it is time for those on the western, for all Americans who love their liberty, their property, and their lives, to consider seriously what fate past events may have promised them, if they are really disposed not to become accomplices in their own destruction!
At a time when the United States may have incurred the displeasure of the French government, by not openly declaring war against the English, and entering into alliance with the Corsican Usurper, it may not be amiss to remind the people of this country, how it was proposed to chastise them on a former occasion.
Extracts from a newspaper published in Paris, the 26th Fructidor, 6th year of the republic, (1798) entitled Le Bien Informe : "If France had an army to land in the U.S. she ought not to send it there. Cornwallis and Burgoyne were conquered by having advanced into the interior."
nor an army which she can dispose of in a new continent. "What ought she then to do with respect to the animosus infans of America? "Not be so imprudent as to declare war against them; for this would be false to all her treaties, and even against the droit des gens , and even against the droit des gens respect; it must be made against the cantile clan , devoted to George Washington. "And how shall it be made, without a casus belli? "A fleet of light vessels, not exceeding the most above ten feet water , with boats and bomb-ketches, will go into the river Savannah, in Georgia, as far as the bar, and from Tybee to the town of Savannah. It will take possession of the magazines of stores, and burn the farm-house on the right and left to the mouth of the river. "The same operation at Charleston passes the bar, and by the same operation burns Johnson's island and the buildings on Sullivan's island. "The same operation at Georgetown, Carolina; Wilmington, N. Carolina, into Chesapeake bay, and it is by leaps by which the operation must be begun. Burn Norfolk, Alexandria, the capitol of Maryland, and Baltimore. "Care must be taken, my friend, not to let oneself be enveloped in the Chesapeake where one would be annihilated, if the English by sea, or the English American land had time to advance. "The operation of the Chesapeake is an affair of eight days, and it must begin the most distant place, that is, from Tybee from whence may be drawn a large contribution. "Savannah, Charleston and Norfolk are near them little earthen forts, which can be taken, without great danger, from the sea. "Have a care then to advance yourself into the Delaware. One can burn, as I left, Lewis-town. If one was sure however, that the English were at a distance from it, one can at the same blow burn Philadelphia. It is an affair of eight days. "Between Sandy Hook and New York there is a fort in a much more respectable state; but they will bombard it. "Long Island covered with houses is also Nantucket, to be burnt in an hour, or Boston to be bombarded. "The master blow would be to finish Halifax or Nova Scotia, where the English winter returning from the West Indies, believing you to be in force there, they have none in the neighborhood. "If the expedition was co-operated in a fleet from Canada, convoyed by a single frigate, the operation would be brilliant. "One might send, I ask your pardon, it, very dear republicans; for you are not tigers nor men of the 2d Sept. One might send the most part of your emigrants to Canada. "Enter New Orleans with the corner of Spain, take possession of the port of New Orleans, call on the friends of liberty in the back parts of the United States, from Kentucky to the southern limits of English America. It will be necessary to make presents to the savages; send back to the king of Spain general Melcourt, chief of the Creeks, put in motion general Clark, Knoxville; call to the French standard the legions of Florida and America, raised by Genet and Maugourit; proclaim the liberty of the blacks, slaves in the United States, and give equality of rights to the people of color. "It is, in fine, the inhabitants of the confederate ports who anglicise the U. States, to destroy their laboratories is to finish for ten years in the interior of the country; it is, to put them in opposition with the planters, who will accuse them for the disorders of the war; it is, to destroy the Loyalists, who at this moment feign a unity with the Eagle, to devour her." This inhuman and cowardly plan for the first campaign of the destroyers of the United States, and the Swiss Cantons, which would, of course, receive the denunciation of The Army of the United States , is presented by some remarks on the politics of the federal administration, which the people of America are now fully able to appreciate such as the following: "He who speaks ill of John Adams will pay a fine of 2000 dollars, and be shut up for 2 years; he who writes against the government shall pay 5000 dollars, and five years imprisonment. Bache is arrested, and his paper (the Aurora ) is prohibited. So much for the liberty of the press." George the Third was driven from England, he would not go to Hanover—he would go to America, where he has invested money, and what you would not expect, he would be king there; yes, they would make him king there."

All Europe will have a representative government; but America, ungrateful and without energy, will have a king, not in form perhaps, but in fact." As many young and generous minds may doubt the authenticity of the above extracts, and in order to unveil the subterfuge of infidelity, as resorted to by our political critics on such occasions, by anticipation, the public are informed that the original paper is deposited in this office for inspection. The Old Baltimorean.
BY THE LAST MAIL.
NEW-YORK, March 30.
Latest News from England.
Last evening arrived at this port, the British ship Hercules in 75 days from Liverpool. She sailed the 14th of January, and the Editors of the New York Gazette have been favored with London papers to the 11th January inclusive. Though these papers contain no news from Spain as late as that received at this port by the ship Remittance from Cadiz, yet we find several articles worthy of notice. The embarkation of troops at Ramsgate, was completed on the 31st of Dec. and the next day stood down Channel with a fine wind. A supply of artillery for Spain, left Chatham on the 3d Jan.
The London Courier of the 9th Jan. mentions the receipt of Boston papers to the 17th of Nov. and notices the proceedings of the Massachusetts legislature relative to the embargo.
The London papers confirm the gallant conduct, and glorious victories of gen. PALLAX at Saragossa.
The French force at the attack upon Saragossa, on the 21st December, was 15,000 foot and 2000 horse. The French were completely routed, and left 2000 dead on the field.
At our last dates, the king of England was well, and transacted business as usual. He had been confined from Christmas Day till the 1st Jan. when he went to St. Georges Chapel with his family.
The London papers contain various reports of a massacre of the French, at Madrid, but not finally relied on.
The news from America, of the prospect of a non-intercourse, had caused a rise of American produce—Campbell's famous report to Congress, appears in all the English Gazettes.
The editor of the Courier, after giving the proceedings of our Congress relative to the non-intercourse, considers it a measure amounting to little or nothing—"it leaves, (says he) affairs in no worse a situation with respect to this country than they were left by the embargo."—"It is something like the old adage, of shewing the teeth without being able to bite."—"The Americans hate us, but they dare not proceed to extremities as they are fearful of coming to close quarters—but they are quite ready to call us names at a distance. Nothing can be more undignified than their ill will to us; nothing can be more harsh and high sounding than their language; and when we read the speeches of the members of Congress, and the writings of American politicians against us, we are prepared to expect nothing less than war, open determined war. But they will end in some measure calculated to injure themselves more than us—and this they say is taking a dignified position."
The Dec. Packet from N. York, arrived at Falmouth on the 7th Jan.
A British brig Packet sailed from Falmouth for N. York on the 10th Jan.
It is evident (says the London Courier of the 11th of Jan.) that our army is marching to Corunna; we take it for granted, therefore that our ships and transports have been ordered from Vigo with all possible speed.

LONDON, January 9.
The Chearful cutter arrived at Plymouth on the 6th, in 3 days from Corunna. Capt. Windham, is the bearer of despatches from gen. Moore. They are dated at Astorga, Dec. 11, when the army were in good health and spirits.
The previous accounts had left our affairs in a very critical situation. Our army was near that of Soult, and a battle was confidently and immediately expected. The despatches state, that sir John Moore has
marched his army from Benevento to Sahagun, with a view to attack marshal Soult, who was posted at Saldanha with about 18,000 men, and who had detachments stationed along the river to the bridge of Cartillon. Sir John Moore had made his dispositions for attack on the 23d, and settled his line of march, when he received an account that the enemy had obtained a reinforcement from Palencia.
It was said some time ago that the enemy had 9000 men at Palencia. This account was immediately followed by another from the marquis de Romana, stating that Bonaparte was proceeding by forced marches against his rear, from Madrid. Upon the receipt of this intelligence, being apprehensive, that if he even succeeded in his attack, his retreat would be exposed, sir John Moore resolved to fall back upon Benevento.
The propriety of this determination, and the necessity of exercising it with promptitude, will be evident to every body, when we state that by the time our army returned, the cavalry of the Imperial Guard had actually arrived in the neighborhood of Benevento. It appears therefore, that Soult had been stationed at Saldanha to draw us on to an attack upon him, & had we attacked him as we proposed, and even gained an advantage over him, we should have found that Bonaparte had been taking advantage of our army being occupied with our operation against Soult, to throw a large force in our rear. That such was his intention, is confirmed by the French officers who have been taken prisoners in the different skirmishes, and who state that Bonaparte, as soon as he was informed of sir John Moore's advancing left Madrid himself, with the greater part of his force. It was about the date of his last bulletin that he left it, and the review of the duke of Dantzic's division beyond the bridge of Segovia, was the immediate forerunner of his departure. While he was marching from Madrid in one direction, a second had been formed behind Soult's, and had we pushed through his, we should have fallen in with the two divisions that had marched from Vittoria, and Junot's troops from Portugal. The farthest point to which our troops advanced was Sahagun. Lord Paget's brigade was the advanced guard. And here we have to record numerous instances of the gallantry displayed by our troops in skirmishes with detachments of the enemy. Our infantry have not been engaged, but our cavalry have had repeated rencontres, and have been successful in every one of them. Never was a better body of cavalry.
On the 25th, upon retiring from Sahagun, lord Paget gained information that there were about 700 dragoons at Magorga; on which his lordship formed a plan to take the whole, which in a degree failed, from the escape of a dragoon out of a patrol, which he took prisoners; he was therefore reduced to attack, instead of surrounding the French; but his lordship completely succeeded, as he defeated the enemy with the 15th regiment, and took 160 prisoners; and in another action he took and killed above 100 of the enemy.
Brigadier-general Stewart, the brother of lord Castlereagh, has also distinguished himself greatly. His regiment, the 18th, fell in with a body of horse of the enemy, under the command of general Lefebvre. The enemy was advantageously posted and superior in number—but the Brigadier-General did not hesitate an instant. He charged them with an impetuosity that was irresistible; he broke through their centre; killed above 100, and made 300 prisoners, among whom was Lefebvre himself—and this officer is actually arrived in England. He is the general of division that was repulsed by Palafox at Saragossa, not marshal Lefebvre, duke of Dantzic, as was generally rumored yesterday evening.
Another account of this affair says, that after having driven back, on the 28th ult. the enemy's advanced guard of cavalry, and after our infantry had left Benevento on the 29th, brigadier-general Stewart attacked with the pickets of the 18th, the 10th dragoons, and the Germans, seven squadrons of the Imperial Guard, which had passed the Cea. The action was sharp, but we succeeded in driving them across the river having killed above thirty, wounded twenty-four and taken seventy prisoners, among whom is the commander of the cavalry of the Imperial Guard, general Lefebvre, and a colonel. When the French crossed the river, three of the guns belonging to the flying artillery were brought against them, and did great execution. On this day our loss, in killed and wounded, was about fifty men. Major Bagwell was slightly wounded.
The 7th, the 10th, and the 15th, as well as the 18th, have been engaged, and have all distinguished themselves by their enterprize, activity and success. The affair of
the 7th was extremely brilliant. Col. Kerrison fell in with a patrol party of the enemy, and charged them. He killed the commanding officer of the party with his own hands, but after the Frenchman had received his wound he broke col. Kerrison's arm with the hilt of his sword. The whole of the French party were either killed or made prisoners.
The affair of the 10th, or Prince of Wales' regiment, was also most gallant; and col. Leigh distinguished himself in a very conspicuous stile. They attacked a party of horse, about 200 in number, and totally routed them.
These skirmishes took place both as our troops were advancing to Sahagun, and retreating from it. The warmest affairs however were in the falling back, the enemy having sent forward his cavalry to endeavor to break in among our infantry, and to make us retreat with disorder, confusion and loss. In this effort, the spirit, the activity, and the vigor of our cavalry invariably disappointed him. He was never able to get at our infantry, and he found he had no reason to congratulate himself upon falling in with our cavalry. The details we have given shew of what excellent materials our troops are composed, and make us regret that we cannot get at the enemy upon any thing like equal terms.
The whole amount of the force with which sir John Moore advanced to Sahagun, is stated to have been, including Romana's division, not more than 45,000 men. The force which was advancing against us is said to have been not less than 150,000—for all the troops from the north down to Madrid were advancing to the westward to attack, and if possible to envelope us. Sir John Moore therefore did well in ordering a retreat. Six thousand men belonging to the Marquis of Romana's army marched with sir John Moore to Sahagun, on their return. As they had neglected to break down the bridge at Manilla, a part of the rear guard we are sorry to say was taken by the enemy's dragoons. From Sahagun, sir John Moore took the route to Benevento, and from thence to Astorga, which he reached on the 21st, meaning to fall back to Villa Franca and to Vigo, where the troops will if necessary, be embarked, and where about 20 sail of the line and 200 transports are assembled. The ships of war will of course receive troops, if the transports should be insufficient.
It is supposed by some persons that this movement of Bonaparte's main force to the north and north-west may have the effect of making a favorable diversion in favor of the Spanish armies in the south. We shall be glad to find this supposition well founded.
LONDON, January 5. Government yesterday received, by the Encounter brig from Vigo, dispatches from General BIRD, dated Benevento, December 17, where his army halted two days before by orders for that purpose. At this time a council of war was talked of. It was believed the French had, at this time, not less than 200,000 men, capable of being brought against the British forces, in a few days.
PLYMOUTH, January 6.
The French General Lefebvre, who arrived here in the Cutter Chearful, from Corunna, is now under guard at the Globe Inn. By letters of the date of the 31st December, from Corunna, it appears that accounts were received of the surrender of Barcelona, and the whole of Catalonia to the Spaniards: the French army were all made prisoners of war: the transports which were at Vigo had all left for England. His majesty's ship Zealous, with six sail of the line, were arrived at Vigo.
Arrived this day, the Princess Elizabeth Packet, with mails from Lisbon. The 14th dragoons had arrived there in six days, all well. The whole of the British infantry had left Portugal for the interior.

TWO NEGROES who had been committed as runaways—one of them well known in this place and George Town named LEN, three fingers of his right hand are fastened to the palm, the consequence of a burn—a further description of him is unnecessary. The other named Jim, a lad about 16, 5 feet 4 or 5 inches high, light complexion but not of the mulatto cast—his clothing a jacket and overalls of white twilled stuff, given him last fall. It is supposed they will keep together and endeavor to get to the Maryland fisheries and there pass for free persons, people in general being very credulous and ready to believe any tale—those of their complexion who are really free have authentic testimonials—any certificate of freedom which is not under the hand and seal of a public officer is not entitled to credit, and is a proof of the true condition of the person holding it.
All persons are cautioned against employing or affording them support in any way.
For apprehending Jim and securing him so that I get him again, if not more than ten miles from this, I will give Ten Dollars, if at a greater distance Fifteen Dollars, and a reasonable compensation if brought to this place—for committing Len to goal as a runaway the customary allowance for that service.

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR FOR COUGHS.
THE increasing reputation of Hamilton's Elixir (which during the last nine years has become celebrated throughout the U. S.) warrants the assertion that it is the best remedy now in use, for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthma and approaching Consumptions. Experience has taught thousands, that the common opiates and balsamics, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs, in the most distressing symptoms, that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system, increase the difficulty of breathing and excite fever. But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects.
A single trial will prove that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, sheathes the acrimonious liquor which irritates them, and finally discharges it. Thus striking at the root of the disorder the symptoms are effectually and permanently conquered, the reverse of common medicine which weakens the constitution and gives strength to the disorder, for the sake of moderating for the present some of its painful effects.
To parents who have children afflicted with the hooping cough, this discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Select Recommendations.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1806.
Mrs. H. Lee, widow of Richard Lee, Jr. 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, but 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 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, junior,
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia.
Mr. Charles Myers, Hamstead-Hill, near Baltimore, had been a long time dangerously indisposed, and was reduced to the lowest state of weakness, insomuch that his recovery appeared extremely doubtful. His complaints which seemed to be affections of the breast and lungs, and general debility occasioned thereby, yielded little, but rather progressed under the treatment of several eminent physicians; when by the use of Hamilton's Elixir, his distressing cough was immediately alleviated, and every other symptom perfectly subdued. Four or five bottles entirely removed his complaints and restored him to an excellent state of health and strength, which he has for upwards of a year past, enjoyed without interruption.
From Luther Martin, esq. late attorney general 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 coughs, colds, 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.
