RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK.
" We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work."
British Critic, July 1801.
" The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages."
Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
" We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen."
The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
" On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction."
Evangelical Magazine, Oct. 1801.
" The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, man contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

Twenty Dollars Reward.
LEFT the service of the subscriber on Friday last, a Negro slave, named DAN-DRIDGE—He is about 25 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches high, of a stout strong form, has a small scar over one of his eyes, and inclines rather to be corpulent—his complexion is between a black and a mulatto—he had on when he went away a white hat, a brown jacket, and brown velvet pantaloons, but he had many other clothes it is probable he will change his dress. Dandridge was brought up as an house servant, and in that capacity he is excelled by few. He has a wife in Alexandria, and it is probable he is going somewhere about the town. Whoever will bring him to the subscriber or commit him to jail, if taken in town, shall receive 20 Dollars, if taken out of town the above reward.

EMBARGO.
DEBATE on Mr. Hillhouse's motion for a repeal. [CONTINUED.]
(Mr. Giles's Speech continued.)
That this is the true character of the British orders and acts of parliament, we not only know from the measures themselves, but we know it was so understood, in the British parliament, at the time of their adoption. As an evidence of this fact, let me call your most serious attention, sir, to some of the observations made in Parliament, at the time of their adoption, particularly the observations of lord Grenville in the house of lords.
His lordship said, "as to the duties proposed to be levied under these orders of council, he should only say, that when the peace of 1763 took place, he never thought he should have lived, or that the British parliament should have lived to see the day when a proposition should be made to tax America!" And when a similar suggestion was made in the house of Commons, what was Mr. Canning's reply? Did he deny the object? No, sir: But begged the gentlemen in the opposition not to tell the secret to the Americans! Hush, gentlemen, was, in substance, his reply. Thus adding indignity and insult to the arrogant pretension. Upon this part of the subject I shall make no comment! It is impossible to improve the eloquence of this parliamentary language! It must strike deep into the heart of every true American!!
The gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Hillhouse) says no tribute will be paid, because there will be no inducement to pay it. France will not receive vessels into her ports, which have submitted to such a disgrace. It is admitted that the tribute is imposed; and to avoid the payment of it, we are to look to France: to give up our national character and our national honor to the safe keeping of the French emperor. [The gentleman rose to explain. He protested against making any such inference.] This was admitted. He only stated the facts and I supplied the inference. The inference from the facts I deem irresistible. I despise, sir, this miserable subterfuge.—Let us act like a nation of freemen—Let us be the conservators of our own honor and character. We should be the gainers by it upon the most economical calculation, in pounds, shillings and pence. Our national character is now worth more than the delusive gains held out by this miserable commerce, and would sell for more in every market: submit to this disgraceful tribute, it would not be worth a cent, and would not sell for it in any market.
The gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Hillhouse) says, that the embargo is submission to the mandates of both France and Great Britain, and therefore dishonorable. He makes this statement—France says you shall not trade with G. Britain—G. Britain says you shall not trade with France; and we say we will not trade with either, and therefore gratify both. The fallacy of this argument consists in the misstatement.—France says you may trade with me, and I am anxious you should do so, but you shall not trade with G. Britain; we say we will not trade with you nor with G. Britain.—Now, sir, is this yielding to the mandate, or gratifying the wish of France? Certainly not. G. Britain uses the same language, and meets with the same reply.—Now I contend that we have neither yielded submission, nor gratified the wish of either; but have resisted the wishes and mandates of both; and I have no doubt that both are astonished at the honorable and dignified attitude we have assumed and hitherto persisted in.
But, sir, the gentleman intimates, that the government of the U. S. has suspended a rod over the head of Great Britain, and asks, whether any American would negotiate with a rod suspended over his head? Let me ask, in turn, sir, if the gentleman's proposition not submission; not indeed while the rod is suspended over our heads; but while it is applied with the most unrelenting severity to our backs? I was really
hurt, sir, to see that any gentleman could make an observation which would bear the most distant tint of any apology for Great Britain; and I cannot conceive how any gentleman can reconcile it to himself when he reflects upon the many outrages committed by Great Britain against the U. S. before even any attempt was made to do ourselves justice—and that these outrages were increased, in proportion to our patience under them.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
WEDNESDAY, December 7.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
DEBATE.
On the report in part of the committee to whom was referred so much of the president's message as relates to foreign relations.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Quincey's Speech continued.]
The last assertion of the committee, in this most masterly page is, that "a partial repeal must, from the situation of Europe, necessarily be actual submission to one of the aggressors, and war with the other." In the name of common sense how can this be true? The trade to Sweden, to Spain, to China, are not now affected by the orders or decrees of either belligerent. How is it submission then, to these orders, for us to trade to Gottenburgh, when neither France nor Great-Britain command, nor prohibit it? Of what consequence is it to us, in what way the Gottenburgh merchant disposes of our products, after he has paid us our price? I am not about to deny, that a trade to Gottenburgh, would defeat the purpose of coercing Great-Britain, through the want of our supplies. But I reason on the report upon its avowed principles. If gentlemen adhere to their system, as a mean of coercion, let the administration avow it as such, and support the system, by arguments, such as their friends use every day on this floor. Let them avow as those friends do, that this is our mode of hostility against G. Britain. That it is better than "ball and gunpowder." Let them show that the means are adequate to the end. Let them exhibit to us beyond the term of all this suffering, a happy salvation, and a glorious victory, and the people may then submit to it, without murmur. But while administration support their system only as a municipal regulation, as a mean of safety and preservation, those, who canvass their principle are not called upon to contest with them on ground, which not only they do not take, but which, officially they disavow. As partial repeal would not be submission to either, so also it would not be war with either. A trade to Sweden would not be war with G. Britain, that nation is her ally, and she permits it. Nor with France, though Sweden is her enemy, she does not prohibit it.—Ah! but say the committee [page 13] "a measure which would supply exclusively one of the belligerents, would be war with the other." This is the state secret; this is the master key to the whole policy. You must not only do what the letter of these orders prohibits, but you must not sin against the spirit of them. The great purpose is to prevent your product from getting to our enemy, and to effect this you must not only so act, as to obey the terms of the decrees, but keeping the great purpose of them always in sight, you must extend their construction to cases, which they cannot by any rule of reason be made to include.
Sir, I have done with this report. I would not have submitted to the task of canvassing it, if gentlemen had not thrown the gauntlet with the air of sturdy defiance. I willingly leave to this house and the nation, to decide whether the position I took in the commencement of my argument is not maintained; that there is not one of the principal positions, contained in this twelfth page, the heart of this report, which is true, in the sense and to the extent assumed by the committee.
It was under these general impressions that I used the word "loathsome," which has so often been repeated. Sir, it may not have been a well chosen word. It was that which happened to come to hand first. I meant to express my disgust, at what appeared to me a mass of bold assumptions, and of ill cemented sophisms.
I said, also, that "the spirit which it breathed was disgraceful." Sir, I meant no reflection upon the committee. Honest men and wise men may mistake the character of the spirit, which they recommend, or by which they are actuated. When called upon to reason, concerning that, which by adoption, is to become identified with the national character, I am bound to speak of it as appears to my vision. I may be mistaken. Yet I ask the question—Is not the
spirit, which it breathes disgraceful? Is it not disgraceful to abandon the exercise of all our commercial rights, because our rivals interfere with a part—not only to refrain from exercising that trade, which they prohibit, but for fear of giving offence, to decline that which they permit? Is it not disgraceful, after inflammatory recapitulation of insults, and plunderings and burnings, and confiscations, and murders, and actual war made upon us, to talk of nothing but alternatives, of general declarations, of still longer suspension of our rights and retreating farther out of "harm's way?" If this course be adopted by my country, I believe I am in error concerning its real character. But to my sense, this whole report is nothing else than a recommendation to us, of the abandonment of our essential rights and privileges for doing it.
Before I sit down, I feel myself compelled to notice some observations, which have been made in different quarters of this house on the remarks, which at an early stage of this debate, I had the honor of submitting to its consideration. My honorable colleague (Mr. Bacon) was pleased to represent me as appealing to the people, pleads over the heads of the whole government, against the authority of a law, which had not only the sanction of the legislative branches of the government, but also of the judiciary. Sir, I made no such appeal. I did not so much as threaten it. I admitted expressly, the binding authority of the law. But I claim a right which I ever will claim and ever will exercise, to urge on this floor, my opinion of the unconstitutionality of a law, and my reasons for that opinion, as a valid ground for its repeal. Sir; I will not only do this, I will do more. If a law be, in my apprehension, dangerous in its principles, ruinous in its consequences, above all, if it be unconstitutional, I will not fail in every fair and honorable way, to awaken the people to a sense of their peril; and to quicken them, by the exercise of their constitutional privileges, to vindicate themselves and posterity from ruin.
[Speech to be continued.]
BOSTON, December 27.
Latest from Europe.
By the arrival yesterday of the ship Mark and Abigail, captain Elliot, 50 days from Liverpool, we have received a regular file of the Courier to the 4th, and some other papers to the 5th November.
The "Pilot" of October 28th, contains the proceedings in Spain, of several public bodies, demonstrating their loyalty and attachment to the newly established government. "They afford a most satisfactory display of the universal zeal and devotion with which the authority of this much respected institution is recognized and obeyed. The council of Castile alone has qualified its recognition with some reservations to be explained on a future occasion. The council of Castile had, itself, formed some pretensions to the regency, but thought proper, on consideration, to take the oaths to the central Junta. The count de Florida Blanca, acting president of the Junta, however, in order to leave nothing unsettled, that may militate against the general tranquility, has invited the council to communicate its ideas fully to the Junta."
HOLLAND.
The same paper says "An embargo is reported to have taken place in the ports of Holland [We cannot here avoid remarking the similarity of proceedings in all countries under French influence] on the 20th of October."
"The relaxation of the present system of commercial restriction which took place a few weeks ago in Holland, has been followed by a new decree, more rigorous than that which preceded it. The following are the principal articles contained in it.
1. All exportation suspended until further orders. 2. The superintendence of the coast shall be divided into three districts. 1. From the Helder to the Island of Walcheren shall be commanded by gen. Dumonceau. 2. From the Helder to Harlingen, by admiral De Winter. 3. From Harlingen to the Jahde, by gen. Castanet. III. The commanding generals shall be personally responsible for the execution of the existing measures, relating to the total shutting of the ports of the kingdom, the communication with the enemy, as well as for all those we may hereafter order. There shall be a daily report made by them to the minister, or immediately to the king; and they are required to give an account of the negligence or disinclination of the civil and military agents.
IV. All fishing boats shall be compelled to return to the place, from whence they sailed, and they shall not be admitted any
where else, even under the pretence they have received damage. If they be found to have any proofs of having communicated with the enemy on board, as strangers not belonging to their crew, the least package of merchandise of any kind, letters or newspapers, they shall become the property of the civil or military authorities, who assist in seizing them soon as the legality of the seizure shall have been determined by the judge, who shall pronounce a definitive sentence, in course of fifteen days at farthest.
V. All merchant vessels, whether the Dutch or a foreign flag, which shall attempt to enter any part of the harbors or roads in the above mentioned districts, shall be warned off by boat, and appear that they will be fired on, if they attempt to enter."
This decree which has not been received without symptoms of discontent, is said to be the result of an engagement entered between the two emperors at Erfurth. To have, it is said, mutually pledged themselves that none of the ports or places under their control shall be open to any commerce. The line of exclusion is to extend from St. Petersburg to Bayonne.
It is rumored that Alexander was personally inclined, but that Bonaparte was strong measures, and upbraided the king with a disposition to renounce the principal of the engagements he had entered into with him.
SPAIN.
The London Observer of Oct. 30th contains news from St. Andero to the 29th.
Gen. Blake had on the 14th pushed his advanced corps as far as Emvra, in the road to Vittoria and Durango; and two large bodies of Spanish troops had, at the same time, crossed the Ebro, one in the neighborhood of Callaporra, the other at Logrono, to cut off the communication between the French division in Alvara and Navarra. These latter movements are calculated to produce important events.
General Merlin, who had been detached by marshal Ney to occupy Bilboa, with a force short of 5000 men, had been obliged to evacuate that place. He was pursued by the Spanish light troops as far as Mendara.
The messenger had arrived from Madrid with an answer from the Junta, authorizing the disembarkation of the British troops. The whole French army, including reinforcements, is stated at 43,000.
EXPECTED BATTLE.
The Courier of the 4th Nov. says that a letter of a late date from Spain, after describing the advantageous positions of the armies of Palafox and Blake, states, that they waited only the coming up of the centre army, under the command of Castanos to commence a general attack upon the French army, with every prospect of the most complete success.
RUSSIAN FLEET ESCAPED.
It appears by the Courier of Nov. 24th that the Russian fleet had escaped from Riga with the loss of one frigate, wrecked on the coast. The British fleet in consequence, is retired.
GERMANY.
In consequence of the conference at Erfurth, Germany appears to be completely overawed, and has given assurances of specific intentions, and has even consented to disarm and disband her new levies.
The case of sir John Mordaunt, which is one of the precedents for regulating the proceedings of the court of inquiry, about to be instituted with respect to the convention of Cintra, is fully detailed in the 5th vol. of Smollett's History of England.
All the French and Dutch troops have, by this time, evacuated the Danish islands of Holstein and Schleswick. In the end of September a contingent of the Dutch troops escorted about 1000 Spanish officers and soldiers, as prisoners of war to the dungeness of Wesel; others were sent to Spandau. Never was treatment so extremely severe. They are locked up in their long and painful marches in churches and old buildings, and bread and water is their fare. The officers are quartered upon the citizens.
The emperor Alexander is measuring back his steps to St. Petersburg; and it will require no ordinary degree of courage to meet the looks of his people, after his journey of submission and degradation.
A private letter from Stockholm reports, that certain information has been received of the Empress being at the head of affairs in Russia; but the writer is not certain whether or not the Emperor has made or sanctioned the appointment.
Admiral Apodaga is appointed the repre-

representative of the supreme government of Spain to the British court.  SCOTCH MANUFACTURES.  Trade is remarkably brisk at Glasgow. The demands for the West Indies are so great, that all the calendars are kept going day and night, dressing the goods for that market.  This has been the state of the Glasgow manufactures for these two months past. Cotton yarns, spun at the mills are up 70 per cent. In the most flourishing period of the American demands, trade never was so good.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, December 26, 1808.  SIR,  I HAVE the honor to transmit herewith a statement of goods, wares and merchandise exported from the United States nominally during the year prior to the first day of Oct. 1808; but in fact, during the three last months of the year 1807, subsequent exportations having been prevented by the embargo.  The goods, wares, and merchandise of domestic growth or manufacture, included in the statements are estimated     $9,433,545    And those of foreign growth and manufacture at  12,909,414    Amounting together to  22,430,960  
been informed of the movements in that quarter, sallied out from St. Domingo with 600 men, 400 of whom were the best of his troops, supposing that his presence and forces would quiet these people already encamped between Romana and Ouaibon; yet he was vastly mistaken, for hardly had our troops got sight of the French when they began a skirmishing, so as to entice them to fire, which they did, but before they could load again the horse and pikemen attacked them with such fury on all sides, that their column was quickly thrown into disorder, rendering an escape impracticable: the encounter took place three leagues to windward of the said river Romano, distant 28 or 30 leagues to the eastward of the capital: the Spaniards pursued General Ferrand unto the aforesaid river; but he, after having crossed the same with his remaining officers, finding himself without a soldier and considering himself as a lost man, blew out his brains by a pistol shot, which deed, his Aid-de-Camps, who foresaw his intention, were unable to prevent. The battle was fought on the 7th or 8th instant, and only 13 men escaped in so long a retreat: on the 19th the city was besieged by land, and the inhabitants of the north and south, after having arrested those chiefs, who had conducted themselves a la mode Napoleon, repaired to the siege: the blockading squadron consists of an English ship of the line, two frigates and a brig, and a Porto Rico schooner of 12 guns.

No person in the city has been allowed to write, but the captain of a flag of truce who sailed hence hither, and was present at the sortie of Ferrand, the result thereof, the situation the place remained in, and who was boarded by the English on his coming out entered this port the day before yesterday, after three days passage, gave this information in conjunction with some sailors, stating that General Du Barquier, a subaltern of Ferrand, who remained in the city, has made overtures to this government, and in his letter attributes to himself the titles of Ferrand. Effectually the Brigade General Barquier, second in command to Ferrand, styles himself like the latter, to wit: commander in chief, Administrator and Captain General.

ONCE FOR ALL.  We understand perfectly the policy of the administration. If the embargo and non-intercourse system shall fail to accomplish its purposes, it contemplates peace with France and war with Great Britain.  Upon the subject of the embargo, we repeat without hesitation, that, before the different branches of the government separate next March, a little tub will be thrown out to the great whale, POPULARITY.  The following official documents confirm the late account of Ferrand's death at St. Domingo. The French privateer, which arrived at Norfolk and contradicted the accounts of French disasters at St. Domingo, turns out to be herself an impostor; a morning paper states that she is not lately from that island; but has been hovering on our coast after nothing honorable. She put into Norfolk in distress, probably chased in; and fabricated the story lately circulated.
Extract of a letter from St. Domingo, dated the 25th of November.  "The governor of Porto Rico, after several fruitless attempts, has at length succeeded in stirring up the Spaniards in St. Domingo—During the month of October, some insurrections formed in the interior of the island had been speedily dispersed: but during the first day of November, four hundred Spaniards from Porto Rico, having landed in the east of the island, the inhabitants joined them and formed a corps of about four or five thousand men. General Ferrand at the head of the Spanish militia, and a detachment of French troops, marched against those insurgents, but in the moment of action, having been abandoned by the Spaniards, he fell as most part of the French who had accompanied him, a victim to the confidence he had put in the people to whose happiness he had devoted his life, and to whom fanaticism has stirred up against their own interest. Gen. Barquier succeeds in command.

Valuable Family Medicines. The following well known gene- from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by  James Kennedy, Jen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, And no where else in Alexandria.
Prevention better than Cure. FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS, prepar- ed (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store, No. 16 Maiden Lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grate- ful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Rich- mond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charles- ton and Savannah. The testimony of a num- ber of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from ex- tensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and fur- ther, that in the early stages of these diseas- es, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases es- teemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid se- cretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal con- sequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costive- ness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all per- sons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably effica- cious in preventing and curing disorders at- tendant on long voyages, and should be pro- vided, and carefully preserved by every sea- man.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstan- ces require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be tak- en once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney. During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medi- cine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove eve- ry symptom of a cold if taken on its first ap- pearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to ma- ny of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints. Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY, No. 145, Cherry street, New York.
Hamilton's Grand Restorative. Recommended as an invaluable Medicine, for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dis- sipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, re- sidence in climates unfavorable to the consti- tution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any destructive intemperance, the unskilful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c. And is proved by long and extensive expe- rience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, in- voluntary emissions, seminal weakness, ob- stinate gleet, fluo albus, or whites, impo- tency, barrenness, &c. &c.
Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lo- zenges. Which there is reason to believe, have, within eight years past cured upwards of two hundred thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from WORMS and from obstructions or foulness in the sto- mach and bowels.

The following new and valuable Medicine, received and for sale as above. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)  Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheu- matic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common- remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—and pre- vention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any descri- on of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a strong- er claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheu- matism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glets, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pain from whatever cause they may have origin- ed—and hence every relief which can be ad- ministered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly ex- pose them to colds, &c. cannot be too quick in always to possess immediate aid. Sea-far- ing persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which counteract the unpleasant effects of their pe- culiar duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, or other warm climates, they will be found un- equalled to convey the most lasting service as it will gradually destroy all tendency to diseas- es in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescrip- tions have been published to cure the dis- orders enumerated above, none has yet equal- led the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated through- out the European continent, and whose ex- tended benefits are fully authenticated in certificates already published of gentlemen well known in America, being of the first con- sequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Mac- cubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calum- ba.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher. About three weeks since I was most violent- ly attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as to be unable to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Ti- ssot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accord- ingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the applica- tion of which, under God, have perfectly re- stored 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, Mariner.
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 dis- order, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providential- ly was recommended to apply at George Dob- bin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself per- fectly 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 ap- ply 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 com- plaint was entirely removed, and he is now covering his strength with great rapidity.
