PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations,
Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court-house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.
The premises will be shown to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9.
Some circumstances relative to Merino Sheep, chiefly collected from the Spanish Shepherds, who attended those of the Flock of Paular, lately presented to the king of Great Britain by the government of Spain; with particulars respecting that great national acquisition; and also respecting the Sheep of the Flock of Negrete, imported from Spain by his majesty, in the year 1791.
[CONTINUED.]
That the sole purpose of the journeys taken annually by these sheep, is to seek food in places where it can be found, and that these migrations would not be undertaken, if either in the northern or southern provinces, a sufficiency of good pasture could be obtained during the whole years, appears a matter of certainty. That change of pasture has no effect upon their wool, is clear, from all the experiments tried in other countries, and in Spain also, for Burgoyne tells us, that there are stationary flocks, both in Leon and in Etramadura, which produce wool quite as fine as that of the Trashumantes.
The sheep lately presented to his majesty are of the Cavana of Paular, one of the very finest in point of pile, and esteemed also above all others for the beauty of carcass. In both these opinions, Mr. Lasteyrie, a French writer on sheep, who lived many years in Spain, and paid diligent attention to the Merino sheep, entirely agrees; he also tells us, that the Cavana of Negrete, from whence the sheep imported by his majesty, in the year 1791, were selected, is not only one of the finest piles, but produces also the largest carcassed sheep of all the Merinos. Mr. Burgoyne agrees with him in asserting, that the piles of Paular, Negrete, and Escorial, have been withheld from exportation, and retained for the royal manufactory of Guadalaxara, ever since it was first established.
Of 60,000 sheep, it originally belonged to the rich Castilian Monastery of that name, near Segovia; soon after the Prince of the Peace rose into power, he purchased the flock from the Monks, with the land belonging to it, both in Etramadura and in Leon, at a price equal to twenty French francs a head, 16s. 8d. English. All the sheep lately arrived are marked with a large M. the mark of Don Manuel.
The number sent from Spain to the king was 2000, equal to two sub-divisions of the original Cavana; to make the present the more valuable, these were selected by the shepherds from eight sub-divisions, in order to choose young, well shaped, and fine woolled animals. This fact is evident, from the marks which are placed on eight different parts of the bodies of the sheep now at Kew.
The whole number embarked was 2,224; of these, 214 were presented by the Spaniards, to some of his majesty's ministers, and 427 died on the journey, either at sea, or on their way from Portsmouth to Kew. His majesty was graciously pleased to take upon himself the whole of the loss, which reduced the royal flock to 1573; several more have since died. As the time of giving the ram in Spain is July, the ewes were full of lamb when they embarked, several of them cast their lambs when the weather was bad at sea, and are rendered so weak and infirm by abortion, that it is much to be feared more will die, notwithstanding the great care taken of them by his majesty's shepherds. A few have died of the rot. This disease must have been contracted by halting on some swampy district, in their journey from the mountains to the sea at Gijon, where they were embarked, as one sheep died rotten at Portsmouth; there is every reason however to hope, that the disease will not spread, as the land on which they are now kept has never been subject to its ravages, being of a very light and sandy texture.
It is well worthy of observation, that although the Swedes, the Saxons, the Danes, the Prussians, the Austrians, and of late, the French, have, either by the foresight of their governments, or the patriotic exertions of individuals imported Merino sheep, no nation has hitherto ventured to assert, that they possess the complete, and unmixed race of any one Cavana; this circumstance does not appear to have been attended to any where but in England; though
in fact, each Cavana is a separate and distinct breed of sheep, not suffered by the Spaniards to mingle with others. The difference in value of the wool of different Spanish flocks is very great; at this time when Spanish wool is unusually dear, the prima piles are worth more than 7 shillings a pound, and yet the inferior ones scarce reach 5 shillings.* Even the French, attentive as that nation generally is to all things that concern the interest of individuals, appear to have overlooked this circumstance, and to have contented themselves with making up the numbers of their importations, without paying any regard to it; they have not at least stated in any of their publications, that attention was paid to the securing sheep of a prima pile, and keeping the breed of that pile pure and unmixed, after they had obtained it.
* Since this was written, Spanish wools have risen to an exorbitant price. Prima Leona is this week rated in the Farmer's Journal at 20s. a pound, and Seville at 13s. 6d.

VIA NEW-YORK.
Prince Serge Gallatin published the following proclamation on the entry of the Russian army into Galicia:—
PROCLAMATION.
The war which has broken out between France and Austria could not be looked upon by Russia with an indifferent eye.
The last news that has been received in the grand duchy, from the army of prince Poniatowski, informs us that he has made himself master of Brody, the last city of Galicia near the frontier, and that he found there considerable magazines and provisions in abundance.
Every care and effort have been employed on our part to stifle the fire before it had entirely burst out into a flame. It was made known, in the first instance to the court of Austria, that by virtue of the most solemn treaties and engagements which subsisted between the two emperors of Russia and of the French, Russia would act conjointly with France.
Austria wished not to regard the representations, which ought to have had great weight, as a pretext of a necessary defence, her warlike preparations, until the time when by aggressive proceedings she discovered the proud designs of her ambition and lighted the torch of war.
Russia, in consequence could not dispense with taking in that war a part which was founded on solemn treaties. On the first intelligence reaching her, she broke as under those ties which had united her to Austria, and ordered her army to approach the frontiers of Galicia.
On entering this country to act against Austria, and to repel by force those troops she has brought into the field, the commander in chief of the army has the positive orders of his majesty to declare to the peaceable inhabitants of Galicia, and to assure them in the most solemn manner, that Russia entertains no enmity against any of them; and that the army in its movements, in whatever part it may be, will respect the personal security of all, assure property, and leave undisturbed the peace of the interior and the general tranquility.

SEVENTEENTH BULLETIN.
VIENNA, 8th June, 1809.
Colonel Gorgoli, aid-de-camp to the emperor of Russia, has arrived at the imperial head quarters with a letter from his sovereign to the emperor and king. It announces that the Russian army is in the direction of Olmutz, having passed the frontier on the 24th of May.
The emperor passed the day before yesterday in reviewing his guard, infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The inhabitants of Vienna have admired the number, the fine appearance, and the good conduct of those troops.
The vice-roy is with the army of Italy at Oedembourg in Hungary. It appears that the archduke John intends to rally his army on the Raab.
The duke of Bragusa arrived at Laybach on the 3d of this month with the army at Dalmatia.
The heat is very great, and persons acquainted with the Danube say that an inundation may be expected here in a few days. We shall profit by this circumstance to finish, independently of bridges of boats and of rafts, the plantine of piles.
All the intelligence we receive from the coast of the enemy announce that the cities of Presburg, Brunn, and Zuaim, are filled with the wounded. The Austrians themselves estimate their loss at 18,000 men.
Prince Poniatowski, with the army of the grand duchy of Warsaw, pursues his success. After taking of Sandomir, he besieged the fortress of Zamosc and defeated the enemy, who lost 3000 men and 30 pieces of cannon. All the Poles who were with the Austrian army deserted.
The enemy after having shown themselves before Thorn, have been vigorously pursued by general Dombrowski.
The archduke Ferdinand does not retire without shame from his expedition. He is said to have arrived in Austrian Silesia, reduced to one third of his forces.
Count Metternich has arrived at Vienna.
There will be an exchange at the advanced posts with the French legation, to whom the Austrians (contrary to the rights of men) had refused passports, and whom they had carried away to Pest.
EIGHTEENTH BULLETIN.
VIENNA, 13th June, 1809.
The division of gen. Chasteller, which revolted Tyrol, passed through the neighborhood of Clagenfurth on the 4th inst. on its way to Hungary. Gen. Rusca pursued and engaged it, the enemy was beaten; we took 900 prisoners.
Prince Eugene, with a considerable corps is manoeuvring in the heart of Hungary.
Within a few days the Danube has risen one foot.
Gen. Gratien, with a Dutch division, having marched to Stralsund, where Schill had fortified himself, has carried his intrenchments by assault. Schill had given orders to set fire to the city in order to cover his retreat, but his band had not time to execute it; it has been entirely killed or taken; he himself was killed on the great square at the moment he was making his escape and was about to set the city on fire.
The archduke Ferdinand precipitately evacuated Warsaw June 2d. Thus the whole of the grand duchy is abandoned by the enemy's army, whilst the troops under the command of prince Poniatowski, occupy three fourths of Galicia.
Affairs of Poland.
The enemy continues his retreat, with the same precipitation. On the 28th May, twelve Polish spear-men on reconnoitring duty, met at Skirnewice, one hundred and ten Austrian dragoons who were retreating towards Rava; they routed them, and made eleven prisoners. On the 30th, in the morning, gen. Kosinski, commanding the advanced guard, after having entered Lowicz, proceeded as far as Sechaczew, where he met no more of them, who it appears are retreating to Polica. Some reports, however, seem to indicate that the main of the Austrian troops are bending their march towards Upper Silesia. They commit excesses every where, they carry away provisions, cattle and horses. The new levies of all the departments take place with the greatest rapidity and success.
The archduke Ferdinand in contempt of the convention made with prince Poniatowski, and the engagement he had taken not to levy any contribution, has enacted one of 40,000 florins on the city of Warsaw. He has moreover required that the territorial impositions and the residue of a forced loan established in 1808, and whose payments fall due only in 1810, should be delivered up to him. These measures foretold the evacuation of Warsaw, which followed soon after.
Prince Poniatowski writes to the prince of Neufchatel, from head-quarters at Irseni, 25th May, that on the 24th the general of brigade Rosmecki, rendered himself master of Jaroslaw where he has made one colonel, 25 officers and 900 men prisoners of war. The occupation of that town intercepts entirely the communication between Cracow and Leopold, and insures to the army the possession of three fourths of Galicia. The advanced posts were within one day's march of Cracow.
The latest news received in the grand duchy, from the army of Prince Poniatowski, mention his having entered Brody, the last town of Galicia, near the frontier, and that he has found there considerable magazines and a great abundance of provisions.

MR. SNOWDEN,
THE recent disavowal of Mr. Erskine's arrangement with America on the part of the British government is a subject of great interest to our citizens at present. The first question asked in my neighborhood upon the arrival of a gentleman from one of the seaports is, What news from England? The second, How goes on the war in Germany? Our curiosity yields to our hopes and fears respecting our own dearest concerns. Having cast a passing eye over convulsed and bleeding Europe, we quickly call it back to the contemplation of home.
As it is through the medium of the press that we interchange our ideas and form each other's sentiments, I will ask you to submit to my fellow-citizens a few plain and desultory reflections which the state of my country has awakened in my mind. They are of little consequence, yet they are earnest—They are conceived in temperance, and uttered in great respect to the better judgment of more enlightened citizens. I am a farmer, who have not made political science my study: I am a native citizen, and feel and think on most topics with the bulk of that portion of our people: I have never sought an office, or mixed in the struggles of party, and ought therefore to be heard by the impartial, sober and dispassionate.
No sooner was the resolution of the English government announced than we instantly exclaimed, Shameful deception! Perfidy unparalleled! Unblushing effrontery! Punie faith! Every press in the nation teemed with anathemas. Hardly a voice could be heard crying patience, my friends, let us learn the fact; do not pass your sentence in the dark, even Mr. Canning ought to be heard before he is condemned. No! No! No! All was accusation, condemnation and uproar. New lights have been shed upon the subject, however, and it appears that the British minister in the United States has most palpably overgone the limits of his powers. If this be the fact we were premature. But it is declared to be impossible that so upright and able a man as Mr. E. and one descended from so illustrious a family could thus expose himself. There is no proof. This is surmise, speculation, assertion. May not an individual err as well as the government to which he belongs?—Then let the fact come out. Time will develop it. We deceive ourselves by hasty conclusions and incur evils which it is not easy to repair. Either Mr. Erskine has grossly mistaken his instructions, or his government has duped him, or both collude to embarrass us and effect their unwarrantable views. None of us know which. Why assume, at random, the one or the other? At any rate, why that interpretation most fraught with uncharitableness and mischief? On the first blush the blame rests upon the minister here—the face of the subject may change. Be it so.
We have an exquisite sensibility to wrong flowing from the English government. It is proper. Investigate your rights, not upon naked, unqualified theory, but somewhat with an eye to things as they are; and having settled what your rights are, at least your important ones, demand their observance at the point of the sword if necessary. But why thus gratuitously fall into a ragged rail by anticipation? It is neither sensible nor manly. We once fought Britons in a noble cause and we beat them from our shore. They forged for us fetters of thralldom, and we shook them indignantly over their own heads. We were victorious, let us be magnanimous. Lay aside all unpleasing retrospections and act for the best now. I hold not the language of submission.—God forbid! But let us not be too difficult or high-toned. It is not for us to disdain conciliation. Our orators flatter us and denounce and vilify England, and the public prints re-echo the pleasing but destructive delusion. I am no advocate for England. She is bad enough, proud, selfish, and animated with a lust of domination. In fine, those who inhabit that extraordinary island are men and have power. But we are not discussing the moral qualities of England, nor rehearsing, with all the swell of the buskin, the catalogue of her outrages. A tremendous list from the immortalized villainies of Hastings to the unrecorded cruelties of Africa. We are enquiring what shall we do for ourselves? Are we serious in the belief that we can intimidate this great nation by meetings, dinners, publications, toasts, speeches and menaces? No, sir, we must not wage war with words or quills. The tongues of our members of Congress might
not move so volubly under the roar of her cannon, nor might the pens of our idle young lawyers be so steady as was that of the hero of the north in a former day. Such things, believe me, are to England nothing more than the spoutings of the whale along the side of her men of war, which bear Neptune's trident from clime to clime. Nations are in many respects like individuals; so say the civilians. We admire a man slow to anger; he gives a pledge of perseverance to firmness in fight. Thus it is with a people.
What terms do Mr. Canning's letters to Mr. Erskine tender us? "We rescind our orders in council, you Americans clear away the impediments to a free trade with us, and continue your interdictions as to our enemy, who has not dealt by you as we have done." This seems fair and mutual. It is suggested there is a point of honor in the way. Perhaps so. Our rulers will judge whether they will stick to the punctilio at the hazard of our peace or not. As I am not versed in the etiquette of diplomacy, I cannot presume to say whether Mr. Erskine or Mr. Smith should bow first, or whether Mr. E. should commence his advance to Mr. Madison with his right or his left foot foremost.
Non nostrum est tantas componere lites. We waved the point of honor on a former occasion, and the chief justice can attest it. Those who maintain it now will answer to their contemporaries, to God and to posterity. Mr. Canning moreover says you must not carry on in time of war a trade between the colonies and old France, which you could not in time of peace prosecute. Unable to transport her productions from her colonies herself, France shall not do it through your agency. The British ministry say their propositions are supported by the laws of nations. I think the question is with the American government. Still there is much of reason in the argument of the British ministry. They say, "We are at war with France. We cannot reach her on the continent, the ocean is the theatre of our attack. We have so effectually cramped and dismantled her commerce that she cannot bring supplies from her colonies. These are our weapons, this our warfare, such its effects! Unless you Americans, under the garb of neutrality, become, de facto, parties in the war, by carrying supplies to France, and thereby putting her in a better situation than she would be in if her own men, money, and ships were devoted to this object." Altho' the law of nations is on our side, there is much plausibility on theirs. In addition to this, the English nation has so much depending upon the discontinuance of this traffic, that, with her immense naval superiority, and fighting for national existence, it is idle to suppose she will tolerate it. And what kind of a traffic is this? Perhaps a lucrative one to those immediately engaged in it. It may fatten adventurers, many of them foreigners, resident here for the express purpose of wafting wealth into their own coffers under the sanctuary of the neutral flag. But it is said that the revenues of the state spring from the wealth of these individuals. Not so. Speculators, whether in foreign trade or in the heart of the country, prosper on the ruins of the many. They are harpies and must have their food.
Again, our toasts on the 4th of July, couple agriculture, manufactures and commerce in affectionate embrace. Their union ought to be indissoluble. Bind them in chains of adamant. May the high-priest of nature has already connected, man cannot part them if he will. But sir, it is sound trade, not rotten, legitimate not spurious, that which can be prosecuted with some security, not that which repays enterprize with miscarriage, and opens upon the people prospects of unnecessary war. It is not essential to the sale of our surplus produce, upon the most beneficial terms, that we retain this trade. We carry our commodities where we please, sell them to whom we please, and bring back what we please. In grasping after more we may lose all. Thus, if we persist in this trade Great Britain uses force to cut it off. What shall we do? Shall we fight her? Great God! fight the English navy, nay, one twentieth part of it, with a score of gun boats, and a half a dozen frigates! This would be crusading with a witness. The enraptured spirit of Don Quixotte would leap with joy to behold America greatly pursuing the policy which a thousand times jostled and discomfited himself and his faithful Sancho.
Then if we will not fight we must retire, that is we must impose a permanent embargo. I will not attempt to point the futility, or the horrors of such a system. Every fibre in me vibrates against it. My blood runs cold and I involuntarily catch for breath. Permanent embargo! I say to myself in the still voice of apprehensive anguish. Give me the prison of Carthagena,
or the black hole of Calcutta.
Then we cannot have an embargo unless my feelings mislead me, and if we go to war in defence of this trade we must build fifty men of war with all the train of expensive concomitants. A small force would be a mere present to the enemy. Are we prepared to meet such disbursements? I think not. Let us then like men of sense, finding ourselves beset with some difficulties, and inconveniences act for the best. If we cannot realise our fondest wishes, we can attain something. Better days may yet dawn upon our republic. Like the lion in repose she gathers strength. We will, by and bye, take bolder ground. In the mean time let us not seize such as will fall from under us. Besides, if we continue our interdictive measures towards France we of course cannot pursue the colonial trade. The one concession involves the other.
We once had a treaty with England which mortified many of our most distinguished statesmen, and best patriots. Yet behold the fruits! Wealth, improvement, prosperity, such as no other can or ever could boast! Perhaps, sir, I have obtruded upon you and my fellow-citizens opinions which you may disrelish, perhaps I am utterly out of fashion, or wrong from beginning to end. If I make no proselytes I console myself with the persuasion that I shall do no mischief. It is fit that a citizen of a republic speak the truth to his peers.—I speak what strikes me on this subject to those who will listen, and I would, had I consideration enough, make my voice penetrate into the cabinet of my country. If after all the overtures of the British government should prove abhorrent to the citizens of the United States, or inadmissible by government let us not be slack in marching with the constituted powers to the dernier resort. We have freedom in its purest practicable state, let us cherish it with ardor; our chief magistrate is patriotic and wise, where he leads let us follow, and let us pray that heaven may transfuse through our legislative bodies wisdom to discern the genuine interests of our common and highly favored country.

CORK, June 26.
We have American papers to the 26th ultimo, by the arrival of American ships at this port, and at Greenock. The extra session of Congress commenced at Washington on the 22d May. On the 23d the President's message was read in Congress, according to procedure at assembling that body. The message is directed chiefly to the relative state of Great Britain and America—and acknowledge the President's satisfaction at the adjustment of the differences between both countries. The repeal of the British orders in council had been communicated to the French government and a similar policy required from it. The message, as it regards Great Britain, is temperate and conciliatory.
THE KING'S SPEECH.
On Wednesday evening the following speech was delivered by the lords commissioners to both houses of parliament:
My Lords and Gentlemen: We are commanded by his majesty to acquaint you, that his majesty has great satisfaction in being enabled by the state of the public business, to release you from your laborious attendance in Parliament.
His majesty doubts not, that on your return to your respective counties you will carry with you a disposition to inculcate both by instruction and example a spirit of attachment to those established laws, and that happy constitution, which has been his majesty's wish to support and maintain, and upon which, under providence depends the welfare and prosperity of the kingdom.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons, "We have it in command from his majesty to thank you for the liberal provision which you have made for the services of the present year; and to express the satisfaction which his majesty derives from your having been enabled to provide for these services, without any great and immediate addition to the burthen upon his people.
His majesty particularly commands us to acknowledge your prompt attention to his wishes respecting an increased provision for the poorer clergy, an object in the highest
degree interesting to his majesty's feelings and deserving the favorable consideration of parliament.
My Lords & Gentlemen,
The atrocious and unparalleled act of violence and treachery by which the ruler of France attempted to surprise and enslave the Spanish nation, while it has excited in Spain a determined and unconquerable resolution against the French, and the usurpation of the French government, has at the same time awakened in the other nations of Europe a determination to resist by a new effort the continued and increasing encroachments on their safety and independence.
Although the uncertainty of all human events, and the vicissitudes attendant upon war, forbids too confident an expectation of a satisfactory issue to the present struggle against the common enemy of Europe; his majesty commands us to congratulate you upon the splendid and important success which has recently crowned the arms of the emperor of Austria, under the able and distinguished conduct of the archduke Charles.
To the efforts of Europe for its own deliverance his majesty had directed us to assure you, that he has determined to continue his most strenuous assistance and support, convinced that you will agree with his majesty in considering that every exertion for the re-establishment of the independence and security of other nations, is no less conducive to the true interests, than it becomes the honor and character of Great Britain.
We understand that it is the intention of government to send a strong force to occupy the island of Rugen in the Baltic, so as to be able to afford prompt assistance to the general spirit of insurrection which has broken out in the north of Germany against French oppression.
LONDON, June 21.
There was a report this day, that government has received an account of the capture of Guadaloupe; and it is said that it was confirmed by a telegraphic dispatch at the admiralty. We can assure our readers that no dispatch had been received at the admiralty, when this paper was put to press nor do we understand that such an enterprise was likely to be attempted.
SUN.
It is said that government have come to the determination to send immediately on foreign service, THE WHOLE DISPOSABLE FORCE OF THE COUNCIL, and with this view, has instructed all commanding officers to recall the absentees of their respective regiments, and to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's notice.
The loss of the Austrians on the 21st and 22d May, was between 15 and 16,000.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S
Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use; then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rub-bing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.

A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED
ABALLINO,
THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle Spectre, Monk, Adelgitha, &c. &c. Price, handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy-five cents. What black Musician conjures up this fiend? What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Alas, I blame ye not for ye are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil—Avant, thou dreadful Minister of Hell.
RICHARD III.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlap; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, being so far superior to any other of our mod-ern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.
NOTE. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira, by Lewis.

The following MEDICINES are sold by ROBERT GRAY, Bookseller in King-street—and by N. HINGSTON, Fairfax-street, Alexandria.
LEE'S ELIXIR!
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthma, sore throats and approaching consumptions. A single trial of this medicine will prove its efficacious quality in restoring a perspiration common to healthy people; it dislodges and expels the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthening the weakened vessels of the lungs, thus strik-ing at the root of the disorder, the symptoms of course are effectually and permanently conquered. The great number of cures per-formed in 1808 by this elegant and useful preparation, is sufficient to astonish and convince those that labor under colds, coughs, consump-tions, &c. of being immediately relieved, with-out saying any thing of the many thousands benefitted in former years; however for the information of those persons, if any there be, that have not heard of the balsamic qualities of Lee's Eli-xir, we give the names of the fol-lowing persons who are well known to our ci-tizens in general as persons of known integ-ri-ty and strict veracity. From the following certificates it will plainly appear, that a three year's consumption, a common cold or cough, are all with ease removed by Lee's Elixir.
Messrs. R. Lee and Son,
The superior qualities of your medicine, called Lee's Elixir, induces me to give you this certificate for publication, to point to my suffering fellow mortals the road to health, the most valuable of all earthly possessions. For upwards of three years I have been af-flicted with a severe cough tightness of the breast, lowness of spirits, and a gradual wast-ing of the flesh; having tried different medi-cines recommended for such cases, without receiving any real benefit; fortunately one of your advertisements was given to me—I immediately applied to Mr. Vance, 178, Mar-ket street, for some of your Elixir, which has contrary to the expectations of my friends restored me to my former good state of health. Any other information will be given by me.
George Harwood,
Market street, Baltimore
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
You are at liberty to publish for the good of others, the benefit I have received from your excellent preparation called Lee's Elix-ir. Being afflicted with violent pains in the breast, loss of appetite, and a debility of the whole system, which rendered me unable to attend to business, being advised to try your Elixir, I procured two bottles of Messieurs Warner and Hanna, which has entirely re-moved the complaint, and restored me to a perfect state of health. From the good effect of your Elixir I was led to suppose your other medicines were equally efficacious, which in-duced me to give your Worm Lozenges to my children, and with pleasure I inform you they had the desired effect. Any other infor-mation I shall give on application to me at my house in Sly's-street, Baltimore.
John Keller.
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
In December last I was attacked with a most violent cold, a severe cough and pains in the breast, which continued to grow worse, during which time my appetite failed, and my voice altered so much, that it was with the utmost exertion I could pronounce a sin-gle sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me, that much good had been done by the use of Lee's Elixir, advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs Warner and Hanna, which I accord-ingly did—and to those persons unacquaint-ed with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of the one bottle restored me to PERFECT HEALTH.
J. A. Smith,
Market street, Fell's Point.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges.
This medicine is superior to any ver of-fered to the public, being innocent and mild certain and efficacious in its operations.—Should no worms exist in the body, it will without pain or griping, cleanse the sto-mach and bowels of whatever is foul or offen-sive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
Lee's Grand Restorative.
Proved by long extensive experience, to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of ner-vous disorders, consumptions, lowness of spi-rits, loss of appetite, impurity of blood, hys-terical affections, inward weaknesses, vio-lent cramps in the stomach and bad indiges-tions, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, obstinate gleet, flour albus for whites, jim-potency, barrenness &c. &c.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops
For the cure of agues, remittent and inte-mittent fevers.
Lee's Genuine Essence & Extract of Mustard.
A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, palsy, lumbago, numbness, white swellings, chilblains, sprain bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c.
