MR. BRONSON,
The attention of the public has been drawn to the military expedition fitted out by Miranda in the port of New York, under the auspices and aid of certain other characters, among whom the names of Smith and Samuel Ogden, are the most prominent, especially the latter. The former of these had neither money, credit, nor any thing to lose, and therefore could contribute no further than his personal exertions, recommendation and influence. He held an office which it was convenient for him to hold as long as possible by remaining in that city, but he sent his son, and gave them his best wishes. Mr. Ogden, on the contrary, possessed at the time of the commencement of this extraordinary project, some money, more credit, and considerable property in ships particularly, and he employed and gave up all, most liberally, and without reserve, for the furtherance of the objects of the expedition. The preparations and equipments, which were making too openly to be concealed from the most common observer, and under a leader who could have but one possible object, were beginning to excite clamor among our merchants who were in the habits of trade and intercourse with the Spanish territories, and alarm among our citizens generally, lest the peace of the country should be disturbed by it.
Official representations were also made as it appears by the minister of Spain to our cabinet of the existence of those machinations and equipments, their undoubted object, and probable effects. Our government found it necessary to do something, or seem to do something in order to quiet the clamour and alarm among our own people, and to save appearances with foreign countries. They directed it to be brought under the cognizance of their courts and upon mere information and suspicion the district judge entered upon the investigation of the affair, in a manner and with a zeal which proved he himself was sincere in the prosecution, and at that time he really believed government to be so. Writs were issued; process served; the individual brought up for examination under strict custody of the marshal, and what was unprecedented indeed, they were prohibiting all intercourse and consultation, written or verbal with their friends and counsel, and threatened with immediate imprisonment if they did not answer under oath the interrogatories put to them. They submitted and answered. The result of this initiatory proceeding was, that they were bound under a heavy recognizance of twenty thousand dollars, to be forth coming at the next circuit court of the U States, shortly to be held at the same place. In consequence of the extreme illness of judge Patterson, the court was holden by the same judge alone who had directed, managed and ruled all the preliminary proceedings against Ogden and Smith. The grand jury found a bill of indictment against them, and thereby they stood accused by a solemn inquest of the country of attempts and acts in opposition to the laws, and in hostility to the peace, dignity and sovereignty of the United States. After the prosecution had reached the stage of maturity and had been sanctioned by the authority and presentment of a respectable grand jury, it was rightfully to be expected and required that the court would immediately have taken the most effectual and certain measures for securing the personal appearance of the two persons to answer to their arraignment, to traverse their indictment, and to submit to the punishment (if found guilty) inflicted by the laws upon conviction of misdemeanors of that stamp and character. What, however, has been the actual conduct of the judge, or what is the same thing, of the court? Instead of holding them under heavier recognizance and fuller sureties since their indictment; the judge has ruled and directed that they be lightened and diminished. Instead of rendering their personal appearance at the trial more certain, he has not only made it much less so, but put it effectually in their power, and held out strong temptations to them to escape from it.
If this judge when actuated merely by a sense of duty, should think it proper to require of these two persons' recognizance bonds with sureties to the amount of 20,000 dollars, for their personal appearance at the next court, when they stood under suspicion only, how is it to be expected and accounted for that after those suspicions received the confirmation of a grand jury, and they stood thus arraigned and charged by their country, the same judge and court should allow themselves to be induced to reduce and that security to
half the original amount of less. Where is the consistency of such conduct, and how can it be justified? Is it not to be presumed that in the first instance he acted according to a sense of duty and what is usual, right and safe on similar occasions, but in his later conduct he has had a prompter behind the curtain whom he durst not disobey, even though his character for consistency and integrity should be compromised? Let him not too confidently, however, believe himself safe and sheltered from a weighty responsibility merely because the master workman has undertaken to guide his movements. If he persists in the relaxation of justice, which for some reasons apparently mysterious, he has suddenly and contrary to his first determination exercised towards the two indicted persons. If, instead of holding Samuel G. Ogden under a simple recognizance to appear and traverse his indictment, with the comparatively insignificant penalty of five thousand dollars, he does not increase that penalty beyond what was at first required, with other and sufficient sureties, or otherwise prevent his escape from justice, this judge may be answered that he shall be brought to answer or be exposed before the tribunal of his country. He himself is conscious how feeble he has rendered the hold upon Samuel G. Ogden the principal offender, to remain and meet the sentence of our laws, and he is now warned, that unless he takes immediate measures for strengthening that hold and security this offender will escape, and the trial be evaded. What avails the bond which he has singly given, when he has fled, and is not to be found? It might as well for any purposes of justice have been put into his pocket, after he had executed it, for it is well known that when he becomes a fugitive, no proceedings can be had upon it, even though he should have left behind him property to a greater amount.
Proceedings of this sort, whether chargeable to the judge and court alone, or directed and sanctioned by higher authority, are in the eyes of justice, a mockery, and towards the country, treachery.
He who writes this, is enabled from his situation to solve the mystery, and expose the reasons and object of these later measures, but he deems it advisable for the present to withhold them, and to spare the real authors from open exposure; but if through disregard of this caution and warning, the sentence of justice should be evaded, higher characters will be brought forward to the public view, than the presiding judge of a subordinate district court.
AMERICUS.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK. May 16.
Foreign Intelligence.
We have received, through the politeness of captain Wait of the ship Robert Burns, a regular file of London papers to the 5th of April, inclusive, Liverpool papers to the 7th, and Lloyd's Lists to the 4th. Our acknowledgements are also due to the captains of the ships Orb and Science for regular files to the beginning of April; and to the captain of the American Packet for Paris Journals to the first. These resources have enabled us to lay before the readers of the Mercantile Advertiser some interesting articles of foreign intelligence.
On the morning of the 8th of April, when the Robert Burns left Liverpool, it was reported that war had been declared against Prussia. Our printed accounts, however, extend no further than the laying on an embargo.
An embargo at Nantes, of 20 days continuance, captain Swain informs us, was taken off on the 4th of April, in consequence of the sailing of three French frigates and a brig eight days before on a secret expedition.
Our private letters inform us that a new duty had been laid on all cotton goods exported from Great Britain.
LONDON, March 25.
Lord Melville appeared in the house of lords yesterday, and after protesting against the circumstances under which the last article of impeachment has been preferred against him, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
March 28.
The convention between France and Prussia is carrying into execution with the possible speed. Wessel, and the whole of Prussian Cleves, has been occupied by the French, as the readers will see by the following account, dated from Wesel on the 19th of March.
The evacuation of this city, and the whole of the Prussian Cleves, is now completed. Yesterday, at two o'clock in the afternoon, about two hundred French troops arrived here by water, from Neuss, the citadel and the fortress were immediately delivered up to the French general Beaumont. Major Scholer, however, remains here, with some officers of the artillery, to superintend the formal delivery of the magazines, &c. General Beaumont, as first aide de camp of his highness prince Murat, has issued a proclamation, stating the emperor's orders for his taking possession of the duchy of Cleves, in the name of the prince whom his majesty shall appoint, in consequence of a treaty of the 15th of February, between marshal Duroc and count Haugwitz. The persons in the administration of public affairs are to remain in the exercise of their functions till others shall be appointed by the New Sovereign."
Accounts have been received by admiral lord Collingwood, of the arrival at Palermo of their majesties the king and queen of Naples, with the royal family, with an immense quantity of property, specie, plate, diamonds, &c. in his majesty's ships Excellent 74, and Intrepid 64; their majesty's arrived at Palermo in perfect health. About 20 empty transports were taken and destroyed in the bay of Naples, but no troops were on board at the time, nor any property of value.
March 31.
The French army, it is said, is to be reduced to the peace establishment, by the 1st of April.
The columns of the Moniteur are filled with the details of the disturbance in Turkey. Bonaparte will soon find a pretence for interposing in the affairs of that distracted country.
Swedish Pomerania, it is said, will immediately be taken possession of by the French, if Prussia refuse to occupy it.
The fate of Holland is on the eve of being decided, and the post and palace of the Nassaus may at this time be occupied by one of their upstart relatives of Bonaparte. Their high mightinesses the states general have been called upon to hold an extraordinary sitting to-morrow, when the will and pleasure of the French emperor will be made known to them.
The duchess of Devonshire, died yesterday morning, at half past 3 o'clock.
April 1.
The Hamburgh mail, due on Sunday, arrived at a late hour last night. The accounts which it brings are of a very different nature from the notice in the Moniteur, that the French army was returning to France to be put on the peace establishment.
Sweden it is said, is to experience a fate similar to that of Naples: the king is to be deposed and his dominions to be partitioned among his neighbors, Russia, Prussia and Denmark. Austria is to cede Silesia to the Gallicia, and to be indemnified from the Turkish empire; and lesser changes and transplants of the Mecklenburg branches, and of the duke of Brunswick's family are also talked of.
Private letters from Holland state, that the Batavian government had received assurances from the court of the Tuileries, that the emperor Napoleon had determined to give to Holland the choice either to have a king at the head of its government, or become a department of France; and this subject, it is supposed, would engage the attention of the Dutch legislature, which has the commencement of its session fixed for this day.
It is confidently asserted on the authority of private letters from Berlin, that the following proposals form a considerable part of the negotiations pending between France and Prussia. It is intended to obtain the consent of Prussia, if possible, but in case that should not be granted, France and her other allies, to endeavor to effect them force of arms. Prussia to cede 400 square leagues of its possessions, and receive in lieu thereof 700, which will consist of the following countries;
1st. The duchy of Mecklenburg Schwerin, whose sovereign is to receive Bareuth on exchange, with a proportionate pension to make up every deficit.
2d. The duchy of Mecklenburg Strelitz, whose prince is to be pensioned for life.
3d. The duchy of Brunswick, whose sovereign and descendants, in direct line, are to be pensioned; and the duke himself permitted to remain as sovereign, in his capital, during the remainder of his life.
4th. The whole of Austrian Silesia and Galicia, for which the emperor of Austria is to be indemnified by the Turkish provinces of Servia, Bosnia, Wallachia, Mol-
davia, and the whole of Turkish Dalmatia.
5th. The king of Sweden is to be deposed, and part of his dominions to be given (if the emperor Alexander consents to the plan of spoliation) to Russia; the remainder of the kingdom of Sweden to Denmark, which on these conditions shall put Prussia in possession of Holstein and Swedish Pomerania.
According to the last advices from St. Petersburg, these proposals have been rejected.
Private letters from Russia of the 18th ultimo, describe the roads of the country as covered with artillery, ammunition wagons and troops; on the frontiers an immense army is already collected, and the recruiting in the interior goes on without interruption. The armies that lately returned from Moravia, Austria and Bohemia, are kept in readiness to act.
April 2.
The condition of the cessions which have been extorted in Westphalia, from the court of Berlin, has not long remained undetermined. Prince Murat, after having been proclaimed duke of Cleves and Berg, made his formal entry into Dusseldorf on the 25th of March. The sovereignty of these territories is conferred upon him, with the same restrictions and limitations that Bonaparte has been pleased to set to the inheritance of the throne he has usurped. It is to be descendent in default of male issue on the part of prince Joachim (the title of the new duke) to prince Joseph and prince Louis, and their respective heirs, but is in no case whatever to revert to France.
There is some talk of a negotiation between the courts of Vienna, and St. Cloud for the restoration of the King of Naples.
April 3.
A report yesterday obtained of sir Richard Strachan having fallen in with a French squadron of six sail of the line and captured four of them. We could not learn through what channel this information was received.
April 5.
Price of stocks this day at 1 o'clock. Consols for money, 59 3-4 7-8. For account, 59 7-8. Omnium 2 prem.
We have this day received letters from Gibraltar of the first ult. which state, that on the preceding day the Flying Fish schr. had arrived there from off Carthagena, with intelligence that the Spanish fleet consisting of eight sail of the line, had quitted that port and put to sea. Their destination is not known. Lord Collingwood will probably have traced them before this time.
Dispute with Prussia.
An embargo was this morning laid, upon all vessels in the river bound to the Elbe, or any other of the ports of the north of Europe.
Orders were also received at Sheerness yesterday, for the detention of the Baltic and Tonningen convoys, until further orders. This order was given in contemplation of a war with Prussia, in consequence of the accounts brought home by Mr. Jackson, our late minister at Berlin. So certain was Mr. Jackson of this result, that he stopped the mail that was intended for the continent, on his arrival at Harwich.
The stocks have fallen in consequence. Omnium which had been done at 4 1/4 premium, had fallen at 2 o'clock to 2, and the consols from 61 1/4 to 59 7/8.
We have received Dutch papers to the 3d instant, and Paris to the 30th ultimo, from which we have extracted whatever is interesting. The Batavian State Gazette, as well as the other Dutch papers, are altogether silent respecting the expected agitation in the government, or the proceedings in the convocations of their high mightinesses, which was summoned for the 1st inst. Indeed, we know that nothing had taken place with regard to the intended change, on the 2d of this month.
The intelligence from Naples, though so late a date as the 5th of last month, contains no information respecting the operations of the French army which had advanced into Calabria.
Liverpool, April 7.
In consequence of a dispute with Prussia an embargo was yesterday laid upon all the vessels belonging to that power at present in this port.
Translated from the Journal de Commerce.
PARIS, March 28. The decree of the 4th March has taxed brown sugar from the French colonies 45 francs per quintal and clayed sugars 80 francs per quintal. Some persons have thought, from the manner of announcing the duty, without

building that of entry from consumption, that the whole was payable on the arrival of the merchandise. This opinion is erroneous. All the dispositions since the law of the 8th Floreal, year 21, on the French colonial produce pay the first duties of entry on the arrival of the several kinds of goods which are subject to entrepot duties, and the augmentations bear only on those of consumption. So that the actual duty of 45 francs on brown sugars from our colonies will be found comprised. 1st. the original duty of entry of 3 francs per quintal established by the law of the 8th Floreal, payable on entry; 2d. that of consumption, of 42 francs per quintal, which is not payable except on merchandise declared to be for home consumption. It is the same with respect to the duty of 80 francs, on tares and clayed sugar, viz. 4 fr 50c duty of entry, and 75 fr 50c for duty on consumption. In short, brown sugars, tares and clayed, coffee and cocoa from the French colonies, taken from entrepot to be transported to foreign countries, will continue to pay the duties fixed by the 16th article of the law of the 8th Floreal.
His Britannic majesty's brig Busy was off the Hook last evening, on a cruise.
On Tuesday arrived at Philadelphia the ship Active, capt. Vernon, 30 days from Porto Cabello. Sailed from thence the 13th inst. and informs that the alarm was foolish, as no attempt had been made on the coast by Miranda, or any intelligence received from him. Information had been received there from La Guira to the 10th April, at which time the American vessels were loading.
Sir Isaac Coffin left Boston on Monday for Canada. We were mistaken when we stated that he was appointed to command on the Halifax station, although it was mentioned in the English papers. The Admiral is on his way to attend to some personal concerns.
PHILADELPHIA, May 17. Captain McCulloch, from St. Martins, informs us, the schooner Enterprize, capt. Reed, from this port for Guadalupe, was taken possession of by a British ship of war, and sent to English Harbor, in Antigua, where being detained four days and examined, was ordered round to St. Johns, under the care of a British officer, and 4 or 5 hands; when in sight of St. Johns, capt. Reed retook his vessel, and stood for St. Bartholomews, where he landed his cargo, took in ballast, and run for St. Martins, where he meant to sell his vessel for what she would bring, as the English had detained all her papers.

TUESDAY, MAY 20.
Extract of a letter from commodore Rogers, dated ALGIERS, Dec. 10, 1805. The American brig Friendship, James Cemons, master, of Boston, was sent in here, on the 7th instant, by an Algerine frigate, which met her off Ivica, bound from London to Leghorn, with a cargo of salt; the cause of detaining and sending in said brig, was her want of the new Mediterranean passport, with which every American vessel should have been supplied on or before the month of July last, according to the convention made with these regencies, and the due notification given by the secretary of state of the U. States. The reason which captain Cemons gives for not having the passport, is, that his vessel has not been in the United States for
three years past, and he imprudently thought the cruisers would receive that as a sufficient excuse, for his not being furnished with the new passport; but he has found himself grossly mistaken, and (although he acknowledges that he had seen the notification of the secretary of state) he has risked the property committed to his charge, and in some measure endangered the peace of his country, with this regency, for if they should have adhered tenaciously to their usages, she would have been considered a good prize, the passports being the essential paper of the vessel. But the high ground on which we now stand here prevented the idea of detaining the vessel, although the cruiser was perfectly justifiable in sending her in, as they know vessels only by their passports. On her arrival I left the business entirely to the government (knowing the grounds on which the United States stood) who without hesitation gave up the vessel and cargo, and the dey gave a passport to protect her against further detention by his cruisers from this to Leghorn, and from thence to the United States; but for no other voyage in this sea, as the Mediterranean passport is indispensable. I can venture to say that no other nation would have got a vessel off under the same circumstances for less than half the value of vessel and cargo, and we ought not to rely upon a repetition of like favors.
"London, April 1." "I am happy to inform you that the intercourse between the British West-Indies and the United States, relative to supplies of lumber and provisions, is settled on a liberal footing."
Prices Current at La Guira (one of the principal towns of Carracas) received in a letter dated at that place April 23d.

We are indebted to a respected friend for the following interesting articles: PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE, By the ship Savage, arrived at New York. Liverpool, April 1, 1806.
"It is stated on the credit of private letters, that the government of Holland has stopped payment: others say only the bank of Amsterdam." Query , if this is not a manœuvre of the French to sanction a change in the present government of that country? "The most prominent features in the London paper of the 29th ult. is the budget and the new taxes. Those that attach to American produce are the increase of the war tax from 27 1/2 to 33 1/3 per cent. Cotton is however exempt from it, in lieu of which a duty (at present unknown) will be laid on manufactured cotton goods exported."
A friend has politely favoured us with the following extract of a letter, dated Liverpool, 7th April, 1806. "We have only time to inform you, that this days gazette contains an embargo on all Prussian vessels in British ports, and all British ships are prohibited from calling to any of the Prussian ports. This step is taken in consequence of the King of Prussia taking possession of some of our King's German dominions, and the misunderstanding occasioned by that conduct, it is thought, will probably lead to war. If such should be the result, our commerce will experience the greatest interruption, and every thing must be at a stand for some time. We trust, however, matters will be amicably settled. Grain will, of course be affected by it, as our supplies from the Baltic will be cut off."
The following anecdote is related in a pamphlet containing the discoveries of captains Lewis, Clark, &c. and lately communicated to congress by message from the president.
About 20 years ago a party of these Indians* passed over the river Grand to Che-wawa, the residence of the governor general of what is called the internal provinces; lay in ambush for an opportunity, and made prisoner the governor's daughter, a young lady going in her coach to mass, and brought her off. The governor sent a message to him (my informant) with a thousand dollars, for the purpose of recovering his daughter: he immediately dispatched a confidential trader, then in his employ, with the amount of 1000 dollars in merchandise, who repaired to the nation, found her, and purchased her ransom; but, to his great surprise, she refused to return with him to her father, and sent by him the following message; that the Indians had disfigured her face by tattooing it according to their fancy and ideas of beauty, and
a young man of them had taken her for a wife, by whom she believed herself pregnant: that she had become reconciled to their mode of life, that she was well treated by her husband; and would be more unhappy by returning to her father, under these circumstances, than by remaining where she was. Which message was conveyed to her father, who rewarded the trader by a present of 300 dollars more for his trouble and fidelity; and his daughter is now living with her husband in the nation, by whom she has three children. * Hietans.
FROM THE BALANCE.
ODE TO MAY. COME lovely MAY, best child of spring; Resume thy sway; and with thee bring Thy brother health; a welcome guest, With whom I sit would share thy feast.
Again prepar'd to own thy sway, Old earth anew bedecks thy way: Again the tyrant's ruthless reign, That bound the land and held the main, Is broke.
Then, goddess, come; nor, ling'ring, stay, When God and nature point the way; Come deck our fields in flowrets gay, And dress the copse to musick's lay.
With balmy sweets, in waning gales Breeze o'er the hills; while in the vales Thy soft luxuriance warms my heart By ways unknown, untaught by art.
Bid Flora's train, a genus fair, The choicest sweets of spring prepare; While from the grove the songster's lay, Will chant thy praise, and hail thy stay.
Resistless love, whose tender pow'r In sp'endid dome or humble bower Alike endears; this month is thine: And may sweet love with j'ys combine.
And when chill age shall change by time, My spring of life to winter's clime, May heav'nly hope, that rigid day, Spread o'er my soul her second May.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asth- mas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Con- sumptions.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with  the HOOPING COUGH, This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in tak- ing it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-Ge- neral of the state of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered me- dicine 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. Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very com- plicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper: he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of his invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE, Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various com- plaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent in- toxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases pecu- liar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c. And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of    Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesses,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluoribus (or whites)  Obtinate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.    In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impover- ishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourish- ment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EX- TRACT OF MUSTARD, A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia. GENTLEMEN, I purchased at your shop the prepa- rations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mus- tard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this let- ter useful you are at liberty to make it public. Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN. John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, be- Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily ly maketh oath as follows, namely, That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable me- dical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures perform- ed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

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