CONTINUATION OF
Late Foreign Intelligence.
(Per ship Sally, from Liverpool, arrived at Boston)
Peace between Russia & France.
BERLIN, July 5.
We have received certain intelligence from the French head-quarters, that according to the terms of the armistice lately concluded, the Russian troops in Pomerania are to remain neutral.
LONDON.
Statesman Office, July 15—2 o'clock.
We have this moment received Paris papers to the 8 inst. and Hamburg and Altona papers to the same date. The latter brings the important news of the preliminaries of peace being actually signed between Russia and France. The cordiality and seeming friendship in which the two emperors are represented as living together in the same town, make us apprehensive the interests of this country have not been much consulted in this treaty.
STETTIN, July 2—(at night.)
The preliminaries of peace between France and Russia are signed.
The two emperors have had an interview, and reside in the same town with their respective guards.
This important news was received here this morning, and was brought by one of marshal Brune's aid-de-camp. The letter does not mention the town where the interview took place, but there is every reason to believe it was at Tilsit.
(Abaillé du Nord, July 7.)
TILSIT, June 25.
The conference of the two emperors of Russia and France took place yesterday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, on a raft in the Nieman, on which gen. Lareboisier, commander of the artillery of the guards, had caused one pavilion to be erected for their imperial majesties and another for their attendants. His majesty the emperor Napoleon, attended by the grand duke of Berg, prince of Neufchatel, marshal Bessieres, grand marshal of the palace, Duroc, and Caulaincourt, marshal of the horse, proceeded to the banks of the Nieman, and went on board the vessel which was to take him to the raft. At the same time the emperor Alexander, with the grand duke Constantine, gen. Benningsen, gen. Onwaroff, prince Labanoff, and his first adjutant-gen. count Lieben, put off from the opposite bank.
The two vessels reached the raft at the same time; the two emperors embraced each other on leaving the vessels, and entered the pavilion prepared for them. This conference lasted about two hours; and when it was closed, the attendants of the two emperors were admitted. The emperor Alexander paid handsome compliments to the French officers who attended the emperor Napoleon, and the latter conversed for a long time with the grand duke Constantine, and with gen. Benningsen. Both emperors returned afterwards to their vessels.
June 26.
Last night, immediately after the conference was over, prince Labanoff arrived at the French head-quarters. A convention was concluded, that one half of the town of Tilsit is to be considered as neutral. His majesty the emperor Alexander, his retinue and guards, are to take up quarters in the neutral part of the town.
The emperor of Russia intends, we understand, to dine this day with the French emperor; and it is supposed that the king of Prussia will be of the party.
GEN. BENNINGSEN'S DISPATCHES.
Battle of Friedland, &c.
Copies of the dispatches from gen. Benningsen, to the emperor Alexander.
Headquarters at Wehlau, June 3-15.
The enemy having immediately detected the whole of his force from Heilsberg towards Friedland and Wehlau, with an intention to cut off my army from the Pregel, I humbly beg leave to inform your royal majesty, that I could not form any position at Schippenbuhl, but made a forced march to Friedland on the 1—13th instant.
The advanced detachment which I sent forward to occupy that town, found the place at 3 P. M. in the possession of four squadrons of the enemy, which were however driven out immediately.
In order to keep possession of the town, that my troops might rest from their fatigue, I sent some infantry to the left bank of the Alle during the night. But in the morning at break of day, the enemy attacked my advanced posts, and at half after five the cannonade commenced. I therefore sent another division of my army across the river to support the other troops as I had reason to suppose the enemy's van only had come up. The enemy was repulsed at every point, and the troops fought fourteen hours together with the greatest bravery, and proved always victorious. General Oudinot whose division formed the right wing of the enemy, attempted to make an attack with the bayonet, but my left wing eagerly advanced upon him, and destroyed an entire column. Another column was routed. The cavalry of my right wing also made an impetuous and successful attack on the enemy's cuirassiers, pursuing them as far as Heinrichsdorff, which village supported the left wing of the enemy.
At three in the afternoon Bonaparte arrived in person, with the rest of his army and sheltered by a wood, he reinforced his right wing in such a degree, that at 6 when he commenced a fresh attack, and opened upon my left wing a masked battery of forty pieces of cannon, I was under the necessity of resolving to commence my retreat which was effected in the best order, and my rear stopped the whole force of the enemy, until my troops had crossed the Alle. Although my loss during a battle which lasted sixteen hours, and from my army being obliged to file off over a bridge which was exposed to the enemy's artillery, cannot be inconsiderable, the enemy must have lost an equal number at least, since the attack of the bayonet, and that of the cavalry has caused him a great loss, and as in the former we took from him an eagle of the 15th regiment of the line. Nor has the enemy taken any other prisoners but such as were wounded dangerously, and which could not be removed from the town, and only some dismounted pieces of cannon belonging to the regiments, with a few which could not be removed, because the horses attached to them had been shot, fell into his hands — On the other hand all our pieces of camp artillery were got off safe. I am now taking with my army a position behind the Pregel, near Wehlau, causing all the passes of that river as far as Konigsberg and Insterburg to be occupied by my troops, in consequence whereof I have re-opened a communication with general L'Estopcq. If the enemy should venture to cross the Pregel, I shall attack him immediately, & the reinforcements which are already on their march, will soon supply my loss, and enable me once more to cope with the enemy.
(Signed)
BENINGSEN.
ANOTHER DISPATCH.
From the camp at Schillupshusen.
JUNE 5—17.
After the surrender of Konigsberg, my position at Wehlau was no longer tenable, and, having informed general L'Estopcq that I should make my retreat on the road of Tilsit, I requested him to follow me. I commenced the retreat yesterday. I am happy, most humbly to inform your royal majesty, that I have this day formed a junction with that general, and that my army, besides, has this day received a reinforcement of 3000 men.
Moreover, the division from Cow, will pass the frontier to-morrow, consequently my loss will not only be replaced in a very short time, but I shall even be stronger than I was before the battle of Friedland.
Thus of all the results of that lost battle the surrender of Konigsberg proves the worst; for unless the enemy pursue me, with too great a superiority of numbers, and provided he allow me sufficient time to draw towards me my reinforcements, I shall directly advance, and I hope to recover from the enemy the advantages which he has obtained.
(Signed)
BENINGSEN.

TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
(Continued by adjournment and held at the Capitol in the Hall of the house of Delegates, for High Treason against the U. States.)
OPINION
Of the Court on the motion to arrest the evidence. Delivered on
MONDAY, August 31.
[CONTINUED.]
In opening the case it was contended by the attorney for the U. S. and has since been maintained on the part of the prosecution, that neither arms nor the application of force or violence are indispensably necessary to constitute the fact of levying war. To illustrate those positions several cases have been stated, many of which would clearly amount to treason. In all of them, except that which was probably intended to be this case, and on which no observation will be made, the object of the assemblage was clearly treasonable; its character was unequivocal, and was demonstrated by evidence furnished by the assemblage itself; there was no necessity to rely upon information drawn from extrinsic sources, or in order to understand the fact, to pursue a course of intricate reasoning and to conjecture motives. A force is supposed to be collected for an avowed treasonable object, in a condition to attempt that object, and to have commenced the attempt by moving towards it. I state these particulars because although the cases put may establish the doctrine they are intended to support, may prove that the absence of arms, or the failure to apply force to sensible objects by the actual commission of violence on those objects, may be supplied by other circumstances, yet they also serve to show that the mind requires those circumstances to be satisfied that war is levied.
Their construction of the opinion of the supreme court is, I think, thus far correct. It is certainly the opinion which was at the time entertained by myself, and which is still entertained. If a rebel army avowing its hostility to the sovereign power, should front that of the government, should march and countermarch before it, should manoeuvre in its face, and should then disperse from any cause whatever without firing a gun, I confess I could not without some surprise, hear gentlemen seriously contend that this could not amount to an act of levying war. A case equally strong may be put with respect to the absence of military weapons. If the party be in a condition to execute the purposed treason without the usual implements of war, I can perceive no reason for requiring those implements in order to constitute the crime.
It is argued that no adjudged case can be produced from the English books where actual violence has not been committed. Suppose this were true. No adjudged case has, or it is believed, can be produced from those books in which it has been laid down, that war cannot be levied without the actual application of violence to external objects. The silence of the reporters on this point may be readily accounted for. In cases of actual rebellion against the government, the most active and influential leaders are generally most actively engaged in the war, and as the object can never be to extend punishment to extermination, a sufficient number are found among those who have committed actual hostilities, to satisfy the avenging arm of justice. In cases of constructive treason, such as pulling down meeting houses, where the direct & avowed object is not the destruction of the sovereign power, some act of violence might be generally required to give to the crime a sufficient degree of malignity to convert it into treason, to render the guilt of any individual unequivocal.
But Vaughan's case is a case where there was no real application of violence, and where the act was adjudged to be treason. Gentlemen argue that Vaughan was only guilty of adhering to the king's enemies but they have not the authority of the court for the saying. The judges unquestionably treat the cruizing of Vaughan as an act of levying war.
The opinions of the best elementary writers concur in declaring, that where a body of men are assembled for the purpose of making war against the government, and are in a condition to make that war, the assemblage is an act of levying war. These opinions are contradicted by no adjudged case and are supported by Vaughan's case. This court is not inclined to controvert them.
But although in this respect the opinion of the supreme court has not been understood on the part of the prosecution that opinion seems not to have been adverted to in a very essential point, which it is said to have been misconceived by others.
The opinion I am informed has been construed to mean, that any assemblage whatever for a treasonable purpose, whether in force or not in force, whether in a condition to use violence or not in that condition, is a levying of war. It is this construction which has not indeed been expressly advanced at the bar, but which is said to have been adopted elsewhere, and the court deems it necessary to examine.
Independent of authority, trusting only to the dictates of reason, and expanding terms according to their ordinary signification, we should probably all concur in the declaration that war could not be levied without the employment and exhibition of force. War is an appeal from reason to the sword, and he who makes the appeal evinces the fact by the use of the means. His intention to go to war may be proved by words, but the actual going to war is a fact which is to be proved by open deed. The end is to be effected by force, and it would seem that in cases where no declaration is to be made, the state of actual war could only be created by the employment of actual force or being in a condition to employ it.
But the term having been adopted by our constitution, must be understood in that sense in which it was universally received in this country, when the constitution was framed. The sense in which it was received is to be collected from the most approved authorities of that nation from which we have borrowed the term.
Lord Coke says, that levying war against the king was treason at the common law, "A compassing or conspiracy to levy war, he adds, is no treason, for there must be levying war in fact." He proceeds to state cases of constructive levying war, where the direct design is not to overthrow the government, but to effect some general object by force. The terms he employs in stating these cases, are such as indicate an impression on his mind, that actual violence is a necessary ingredient in constituting the fact of levying war. He then proceeds to say, "An actual rebellion or insurrection is a levying of war within this act." "If any with strength and weapons invasive and defensive doth hold and defend a castle or fort against the king and his power, this is levying of war against the king." These cases are put to illustrate what he denominates "a war in fact." It is not easy to conceive "an actual invasion or insurrection" unconnected with force, nor can "a castle or fort be defended with strength & weapons invasive and defensive" without the employment of actual force. It would seem then to have been the opinion of Lord Coke, that to levy war there must be an assemblage of men in a condition and with an intention to employ force. He certainly puts no case of a different description.
(To be continued.)
Latest Proceedings.
A more particular account of the proceedings on
FRIDAY, September 4.
Colonel Burr renewed the subject of the two letters from general Wilkinson, to the President of the United States, one of the 21st of October, 1806, and the other of the 12th of November of the same year, for the production of which a writ of subpoena duces tecum had been awarded. He said that he had a right to process of contempt, but as this mode of proceeding would be very unpleasant and must necessarily produce delay, it might perhaps be avoided by obtaining a copy of that of the 21st of October which was said to have been lost or mislaid, if such copy could be satisfactorily authenticated. With respect to the letter of the 12th of November which was stated to contain confidential communications from general Wilkinson to the President, and which the attorney for the United States had expressed a willingness to produce, with the exception of those parts which were said to be confidential, he was not at present disposed to accede to the position. He had reason to believe that the whole letter had been shown without disguise to others and had been used against him.
Mr. Hay said, that he could assure the accused, that the letter had never been seen by any human being to his knowledge, except the person to whom it was addressed, the counsel for the United States, the chief justice, and some of colonel Burr's

counsel, to whom it was confidently communicated with a view to ascertain whether an arrangement could not be made for its production with the exception of those parts, which in his judgment ought not to be disclosed.  Colonel Burr said he would be more explicit. He would ask whether the letter or a copy had not been produced to the grand jury.  Mr. Hay. I do not know that either the original or a copy were ever laid before the grand jury. I believe that they were not. But I am not so well acquainted with what passed with the grand jury as some other gentlemen are.  Mr. Hay said there could be no doubt of the accuracy of the copy. Before he was certain that he had the original letter of the 12th November he obtained a copy from General Wilkinson, which he found, in comparison, was correct in the most minute particulars. He mentioned this circumstance merely to show the strong probability that the copy of the letter of the 21st of October might be relied upon as equally correct.  Mr. Duncan was sworn. — On inspecting the copy of the letter of the 21st of October, he said it was in the hand writing of captain Walter Burling, aid-de-camp to General Wilkinson on the Sabine expedition; that he was intimately acquainted with that gentleman, had often seen him write, and knew his hand writing well.  Mr. Hay said that he was willing to state on affidavit, if required, that he had not the original. Mr. Rodney had informed him that he had sent all the letters. A large packet had been received, but he had not been able to find this particular one.  Mr. Bots moved for a subpoena duces tecum to be directed to Mr. Hay for the production of the original letter of the 12th November, 1806, which then lay before him. He denied the right of the government to withhold the paper.  Colonel Burr said that state secrets were such only as affected the public at large — But if a man thought proper to make a denunciation of individual characters, he had been guilty of a great offence and deserved no protection.  Mr. Hay declared, that he was willing to expose so much of the letter as related to col. Burr himself. But he enquired whether it would be right to exhibit to public view those parts which would tend to produce controversy between others. Cases may occur in which the disaffection to the government may be such, and so extensive even among the officers of the government, that it may become the duty of private citizens to inform. The accused may have all that belongs to his defence; but he never would put it in his power to make use of the letter for the purposes to which he was satisfied it would be applied. He could not see why col. Burr should step forward as the friend of those who had been denounced, even if there were such. But, in truth, the passages of the letter which he was unwilling to expose, were merely opinions of the writer with respect to certain persons, which opinions may have changed; as it related to some of them he knew they had changed. There were two passages in the letter which he could not consent should be seen unless they were extorted by the court. He did not know that he would yield under any circumstances. He would, indeed, rather go to jail than expose them.  Mr. Wickham observed, that after the documents of defence which had been uttered by the gentlemen on the other side, it only remained to apply to the court for an exertion of its authority. Motives of delicacy, it was well settled, were not sufficient to suppress evidence which was deemed essential for the purposes of justice. He instanced the case of the duchess of Kingston, in which certain gentlemen were compelled to give testimony of a most delicate nature, and relative to subjects which they had solemnly promised forever to conceal. But these parts of the letter proposed to be suppressed, may be of the utmost importance to the accused. If gen. Wilkinson shall have denounced persons deservedly high in the confidence of the government and people, it would materially lessen his credibility in relation to colonel Burr.  Chief Justice. The writ of subpoena duces tecum is sometimes awarded upon motion, but it is more frequently a matter of course upon the mere suggestions of the party. An argument as to the propriety of calling for the paper for the production of which it was awarded, is reserved for the return.  The writ of subpoena duces tecum was accordingly issued, to which Mr. Hay made the return inserted in our last; and on the next day annexed the supplemental
return, which we give in this day's paper.  On this return an animated debate ensued. Mr. Bots and Mr. Wickham spoke on the side of col. Burr; Mr. M'Rea and Mr. Wirt on the side of the prosecution. Col. Burr also addressed a few observations to the court.  The counsel for col. Burr contended that it belonged to the accused and his counsel exclusively to judge whether the whole letter would be necessary for the defence or not; that neither the counsel for the U. S. nor the judge himself could in secret, without argument, or a knowledge of the points on which they meant to place the defence of their client, say whether those parts which were deemed confidential, would or would not have an important bearing on the cause; that if certain characters had been calumniated, the authors of that calumny ought to be exposed; that if the denunciations of general Wilkinson were just and merited, it was an act of justice to give to him the laurels which he deserved; that however necessary state secrecy might be in diplomatic affairs, yet in domestic matters it was detestable, because it might furnish pretences to men in power to work the destruction of any person obnoxious to them, without giving them an opportunity of justifying themselves. They believed these parts of the letter which related to the characters of individuals of the utmost importance to their client; and that the other parts were really unimportant.  The counsel for the U. S. referred to the form of the affidavit filed by col. Burr, in which he states, that the letter may be of importance to him as a matter of evidence; that no particular ground was stated why the letter would be material, and it was impossible in such a case to detect the person making the affidavit, because there was no point to which it was directed; that if a person might capriciously by a vague affidavit of this kind, extort evidence, no man's private papers would be sacred; that the most confidential papers in his possession might be extracted from his desk, under a pretext that they might be essential for the purposes of justice; that even admitting the passages proposed to be withheld from public view, were really important as it respected the persons alluded to, yet they were of no importance to col. Burr, nor could they form any part of his defence; that the president having confided to the attorney for the U. S. an exercise of his discretion as to those parts of the letter which were of a confidential nature, and which ought not to be disclosed; the attorney ought, as to this subject, to be regarded as the president; that whether the public good requires the withholding of any communications made to the president, it was for him alone to decide; that this was not a mere question of delicacy, but of sound policy which may affect the whole country; and that a decision of this question which goes to the length contended for, that the president may be compelled to disclose all communications made to him of treasonable machinations carrying on against the government, would tend to suppress information which the government had a right to expect, and on which its very existence might depend. The case of Marbury vs. Madison was referred to, in which the supreme court had decided that the president was not bound to disclose communications made to him in his official character.  In the course of the argument col. Burr rose, he said, to correct an error which seemed to have pervaded the counsel on both sides. It had not been adverted to as it surely ought, that the president of the U. S. by being president was not divested of the character of an individual. As president there were certain official channels through which all communications were to be made to him; these were his ministers. Any letter addressed to the president, not through those channels, was not official. He would test the position by another rule. The president is not the keeper of any official paper. He could not have the custody of papers of that description. They belong to the offices of the respective heads of departments. It would be a criminal act in him to withdraw them from those offices. Again, when the president retires from office, the succeeding president succeeds to all the official rights of his predecessor, and has a right to inspect all the public letters. What becomes of the private letters? General Wilkinson could have made no communications to the president as such, but through the secretary at war. Individuals may indeed communicate with the president in his individual character; and in this instance, he believed many individuals had. The case of Marbury v. Madison had no weight, because that was
an application for an official document. — One great secret, however, had been developed to-day, that a system of espionage had been adopted by the government, and that individuals had been invited to send forward their denunciations.  Mr. Wirt in his reply, particularly adverted on the latter part of col. Burr's observations. He contrasted his former conduct with his declarations this day made, and enquired how long it had been since secrecy had ceased to be a predominant trait in his character.  The Chief Justice, though he decided in favor of the production of the whole letter, as stated in our last, yet did not admit the positions of col. Burr in the extent contended for by him. He could, readily perceive cases, he said, in which letters might be addressed to the president immediately, which might contain state secrets, and which might in every respect be regarded as public letters.  SATURDAY, Sept. 5.  Mr. Hay wished to extend the terms of the return which he made yesterday. There was one passage in Gen. Wilkinson's letter, which he was certain the President himself would keep back.  Mr. M'Rae. As the President is now at Monticello, is it not practicable to send an express to him with a subpoena duces tecum ? It is advantageous on every consideration to have the trial completed at this term. — Almost all the witnesses are present; and perhaps it would be impossible to collect them here again. An express might perhaps return in four days from Monticello; and is it not far better to postpone the trial for that period, than to the next term of the court.  Mr. Hay here read the following, "Additional return":  I hereby certify, that upon a more minute examination of the letter above mentioned, I have observed other passages, which are entirely of a public nature, and which, according to my best judgment, ought not to be disclosed, and which, I conceive, would not be disclosed by the President himself, if the return were to be made by him.  GEORGE HAY.  Mr. Hay then observed that he did not conceive himself at liberty to put this letter into the hands of the defendant; but that he would immediately send an express to Monticello for instructions; and that the return might probably be made by Tuesday evening.  Chief Justice. Is there any objection then to the court's adjourning till Tuesday?  Mr. Martin said that he proposed to bring the case of Israel Smith before the court on Monday.  Mr. Burr observed, that some agreement might be made between his counsel and the prosecution respecting the letter, and that they might go to trial on Monday.  On the application of Mr. Wirt, Doctor Tazewell (Williamsburg) was excused from serving on the jury on account of the indisposition of his friends.  The Chief Justice then observed that the court would meet on Monday; as some arrangement might be in the mean time made, respecting the letter.  Mr. Hay. I can consent to no arrangement but for me to furnish such parts of the letter only as I may deem material to the defence.  Chief Justice. If there are any state secrets in that letter, the court would be extremely unwilling to call for its production.  Mr. Martin. Gentlemen need not be so scrupulous, sir, upon this subject: for we can compel the appearance of the President before this court with that letter.  Mr. Hay. Shall I furnish such parts in the mean time as I am disposed to surrender?  Mr. Burr. Yes; under the reservation, that such a step does not impair my right to demand the remainder.  The Ch. Justice then observed, that the court would meet again at half after 2 when he understood that colonel Burr was to give bail on the trial for misdemeanor.  At 3, the court assembled, when Luther Martin and Thomas Langburne were accepted as his securities.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one-half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.

Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle of mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltner and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public, being selected for the purpose of shewing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, Taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glects, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of preparations have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled Dr. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose bounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John G. Chapman, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calcutta. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold, on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harp-maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy , from which I partially recovered but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affection, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operates so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint , after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
