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. 1801.
"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, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discomfit those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Stafford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericksburg—The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be a moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington. The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed for extending its valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large,
BY GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS, Esq. Of Arlington House, District of Columbia.
Booksellers supplied on the usual terms.
To the Editor of the Daily Gazette.
SIR, IN political communities where the people are free to declare their sentiments, their approbation or disapprobation of a political measure is no contemptible test of the policy or impolicy of its tendency, and when a people have been the subjects of a long series of acts, intimately connecting their happiness and interests, their decision must necessarily be just and impartial.
When a country is unanimous in support of any administration, and a general approval of its measures and proceedings is apparent; when party divisions are unknown, and what originates in the administrators of law and policy is only appropriated as productive of public good, and conducive to the safety, the advantage and the honor of the community, that government, it may be safely concluded, is politically and advantageously administered. If the people are discontented, dissatisfied or dissentionous, and if their sentiments are in opposition to the acts of their government, or are even divided and contradictory, it may with no less certainty, be decided, either that they submit to a species of rule originally incompatible with their views and interests, or that the principles of their state polity are impaired by measures contradictory to their original spirit and tendency.
Without engaging in the controversy, to which the discussion of these conclusions might give rise, the consideration of these second as applicable to ourselves is abundant field for expatiation. If unity of sentiment in a people is indicative of their happiness, good order and prosperity, we have little cause to congratulate ourselves upon their possession and enjoyment. A glance around upon present circumstances, will discover a country divided into opposing and contending parties, unnerving the vigor and breaking the force of the directing and acting powers of the state, with all the resulting evils of such a situation. And although it is no object here to descend and dilate upon our disasters and disgraces, nor to call up with invidious scrutiny, every subject of remark and censure, yet must it in justice be observed, that whoever will look back upon the former situation of this country and will compare it with its state at the present, will find an ample explication of its factions, divisions and dissensions. The opposition and bickerings of party, and the dissensions of a great people, will appear neither unaccountable nor censureable; but it will rather seem matter of surprise, that disapprobation and dissatisfaction are not more universal and importunate. A dereliction of those principles and a relinquishment of those objects, in the establishment, and for the attainment of which, the very best blood of the country was shed, its virtue and talents called into action, and its treasure and resources expended, would, were principles of government better adapted to our situation, and objects more politic, more attainable, or beneficial substituted for them, form the least considerable subjects of regret and animadversion. But examination will convince us, that the original and essential principles of our government are deserted, whilst those which are adopted in their stead, are novel and untried, contrary to what we have been accustomed to conceive interests most inseparable from a soil, a climate and situation like our own. It will be found that our present administration has persevered in a prosecution of a series of measures, which theorists may approve and commend, but which sound political philosophy will reject as its base and spurious offering; which those whose interests and advantages are immediately influenced and materially affected by them, have censured as impolitic and ruinous, and whose mischievous tendency is luminously evidenced by their effects upon our affairs foreign and domestic. Circumstances demand an investigation, and that investigation should be pursued with candor and with justice, that from the result we may acquire an accurate knowledge of our situation and our prospects, of what we have reason to hope or fear.
It is an observation which will be found to be corroborated by common sense and experience, that when a state departs from the principles which originate in its establishment; and which remain long interwoven with its very existence, and embraces new objects, adopts new principles, and pursues new systems of polity, its strength will be impaired proportionably to the greatness of the innovation. Even when there are radical and palpable defects, if they be not of that magnitude which threatens the destruction of the community affected by them, it is the doctrine of prudence and of wisdom to suffer the inconvenience of unavoidable defect, when reformation would be attended with difficulty and be productive of danger and disturbance. Projected
improvement, however certain and beneficial in effect, if ever attained, is always secondary to present safety. The happiness of a community is one of those objects seldom obtained and never to be hazarded by experiment or sacrificed to the prospects and probabilities of speculation. If then even imperfection accompanied by experienced advantages is preferable to probabilities which however have never been experimentally verified, what policy will warrant the relinquishment of immediate and important advantages of a system of measures effective of those ends and productive of those benefits, to the attainment of which a vast expence of blood and treasure were, by the wisdom of elder date, esteemed of inconsiderable moment. Where are the motives which can justify such a desertion, when the objects in view, exclusive of the uncertainty of their utility in the end, are attainable only thro' difficulties which will finally be found insuperable. If such is a fair and impartial statement of facts, and if, as has been asserted, we are led on blindfolded in pursuit of objects and are governed by principles (I will not say that the people have adopted them) which are at variance with those which once influenced and directed us, it will be no demagogue declaration to exclaim, that it is a critical and lamentable period in our political existence.
Look back, sir, upon the measures of the two first administrations that preserved and regulated this country; examine their spirit, tendency and effects, and compare them with our present improvements. But first behold us severing ourselves from our parent on the plea of securing ourselves from arbitrary impositions, which fettered our personal liberty and restrained the trade which gave nourishment and sinew to our state—Trace us next through all the turmoil and difficulties of a long war, and purchasing at an enormous price, tho' not too great for the purchase, an honorable freedom, a government consolidated for the time by the attraction of mutual interests, an extensive and productive commerce, which raised, supported, enriched, and strengthened us. Examination will present us with the polity of that period, judiciously concordant with our natural advantages, and of a tendency to increase and improve them. As a commercial people we demanded a naval support of such efficiency as would protect our trade and assert the rights of our merchants and seamen. We engaged in an enterprising and expensive undertaking, but one to the effecting of which the wishes of our people were heartily and unanimously directed, and the resources of our country abundantly adequate. We laid the foundation of a navy, which in eight years of prudent economy had not intervened might now have vied with those of the most formidable continental powers. Our merchants covered the ocean with their ships, and our raw productions were brought into that circulation and rendered of that utility, which the re-active principle of commercial intercourse invariably produces. The importance originating in wealth and wealth's natural consequent, power, had given us a superiority on the political scale, which every year tended to increase, and the policy pursued by our government was calculated to augment. As an independent nation, with power to ward off an injury, we were prompt to revenge its commission. When our ships were depredated we did not recall them to our ports for safety, but exerted our strength to oppose and repel the enemy that obstructed their free passage over the ocean. We did not in emergencies resort to expedients which only answered for the present, nor by a temporising policy put off immediate difficulties to multiply and magnify them for the future. The principles by which we were then regulated were briefly these:—Desirous of maintaining the civil and political liberty which we had vindicated in the long revolutionary struggle, our constitution provided for both, and the acts of our legislative body were conducive to the same ends. Our soil, climate, and the natural productions of our country, and withall, our situation prior to the separation from Britain, which had disposed the American people to that object, rendered it the unavoidable, tho' advantageous policy of the state, to become highly commercial. Our measures were such as tended, with most certainty and success, to effectuate that object. Having asserted, with our blood, our independence as a nation, it became our duty and our interest to maintain it. In no act was that duty ever betrayed or that interest wantonly or impolitically neglected.
To establish the certainty of the dereliction of these principles, which none will deny to have been those by the guidance of which we were formerly governed, it will be sufficient to glance at some of the leading measures and catch the prominent features of the last eight years administration. And first, with regard to our civil happiness
and civil liberty, it may be observed, that affecting so immediately as they do the feelings which, in every man, are most acute and sensible, and connected with those privileges which all are accustomed to believe most dear and unalienable, a violation of those principles upon which they are founded and of those laws which are designed to preserve them is immediately perceived and eagerly resented. It may indeed be doubted, whether in the general, or at least in infant governments like our own, where corruption has not yet prevailed so far as to debase all the generous principles of the soul into a sordid thirst for pecuniary emolument, an encroachment upon the rights of the wealth of a citizen is resented with that spirit which an invasion of his rights as a man and a citizen will excite. Yet have we not been wholly free from infringement of those rights and that infringement of an alarming nature. A measure which, even under despotic authority would be tyrannical and unjust, has been entered into by a minister of a state which rests its base on the most unequivocal and declared principles of civil liberty. A government which subjects the secret intercourse of individuals by means of the public mails to the wanton intrusion of unprivileged and unwarranted authorities is no less arbitrary, unjust and oppressive than the most avowedly despotic of the Asiatic empires. The most desperate emergencies are not to be relieved by acts, the principles of which are of such detrimental tendency. When such procedures are suffered to pass unmarked by a public expression of disapprobation to the perpetrators, or even an inquiry which should satisfy the minds of the people, there is just reason for apprehension and ample ground for censure and rebuke. And it is the part of a free people not to overlook single or trivial encroachments upon their rights, lest perhaps the multiplicity of examples should depart into precedent, and precedent lead the way to more considerable and dangerous innovations.
JULIAN.

From the North American.
JUDGE JOHNSON.
THIS respectable judge has condescended to answer the attack made upon his decision of the illegality of the treasury circular regulating the coasting trade. The public will remember that in the course of the summer a long-winded paper was published, containing the opinion of the attorney general, that this decision of the circuit court was not warranted by law. The opinion of the attorney general, has therefore ever since been acted upon, in preference to the decision. This obstinacy and disregard of the judiciary, has been acquiesced in by the public, and the embargo laws have been accordingly executed, with the modifications superadded by executive discretion. Tho' this is a novelty in our country, of the most serious and alarming tendency, it is not unsuitable to the various attempts which have been made to bring down the judges to a dependent condition, and to give the executive an equal right of expounding the law, and enforcing its exposition upon the officers, who are subordinate to it. We must be permitted to repeat, that judge Johnson was raised to his office of a judge of the supreme court, by Mr. Jefferson himself, and that he is a learned, able and upright man. We have not room for the insertion of the judge's observations entire; we hope, however, they will be rescued from the transitory fate of newspaper publications, by the ingenious and diligent editor of the LAW JOURNAL.
In the course of his remarks, the judge reprehends with an honest and independent spirit, becoming his high station, and essential to the public liberties, which are in his keeping, this unheard of attack, by executive officers, upon the privileges and the respect due to his office. We shall hereafter extract his own words upon this topic. For the present, passing over all technical illustrations, we shall give his remarks upon the arbitrary and illegal exercise of power in the regulation of the coasting trade, by circulars from the treasury department. We presume that they will be found so conclusive, as to create surprize, that such a daring infringement of general right should have been hazarded.
The judge takes up some positions of the attorney general, and answers them.
"The first is 'that the law gave the collector complete discretion over the subject.' The fact is otherwise: the discretion of the collector was limited to a particular case, that of his entertaining a suspicion which he himself admitted could not be entertained with regard to the Resource, or it may be answered thus—The instructions of the executive deprived him of that discretion; the mandate of the court obliged him to act according to the law of congress which had

committed the interest of his fellow citizens, and not surrender a right of judging which must ever be entirely personal, and which we can never know by what motive Congress may be influenced in vesting in him, instead of any other officer of government. "The second argument is, that there is a controlling power in the chief magistrate of the U. States." This is equally incorrect in the extent in which it has been laid down, and in which alone it would answer the purpose of the attorney general. The fact is, as has been before shown, that the power of the president to act upon this subject was confined to the particular case of a reference to him upon a previous detention by the collector; and did not authorize the president to prescribe to the collector in what cases he should detain. In cases where the collector had detained upon suspicion, on the dictates of his own judgment, the president could oblige him to discharge, but was not authorized to control him generally, in the exercise of the right of granting clearances in the first instance.
Nothing was easier than for congress to have declared that the president should decide generally to the collector upon this subject, if such had been their intention. This would have been giving the president that latitude of power which was necessary to justify their instructions, to the collector, but which cannot be extorted from the law under which they acted."
BY THE LAST MAIL.
NORFOLK, November 2.
To captain Gibson of the ship Union-Island in 32 days from Liverpool, and some of his passengers, we are indebted for London papers to the 25th of September.
In England the public attention appears wholly engrossed by the late convention in Portugal; the sense of the nation upon that subject will be found in the extracts which we have made, and it is somewhat remarkable, that there is no difference of sentiment on this subject between the ministerial and opposition papers. The removal if not punishment of the British commander in chief is certain. From letters received from the army in Portugal, the indignation of the nation, it appears, is reciprocated to the fullest extent.
From Spain or Portugal nothing important has been received since the date of our former advices. The papers are filled with marches of French armies to the Rhine and the Pyrenees. Bonaparte appears resolved on the reduction of Spain, while he menaces Austria at the same time. The tyrant is aware of the discontents in Germany; as an evidence of which is an intercepted letter from one of the Prussian ministers to a German prince. Austria is armed at all points and nothing can exceed the zeal and loyalty of the people, upon whom the publication of the events in Spain have had a wonderful effect; in vain have the French agents remonstrated against their publication.
The latest papers we have received assert, that information had been received that day that a general insurrection had taken place in the kingdom of Naples, and that all the French there had been massacred or driven out: although this intelligence wants confirmation it is by no means improbable.
The war in the north of Europe has resulted most gloriously to the gallant king of Sweden. The Russians have been driven from Finland with immense loss and complete disgrace. In addition to that loss and disgrace, and the loss of his fleet in the Tagus, fresh mortifications were preparing for the emperor Alexander. His fleet in the Baltic are, no doubt, ere this, in the possession of the united Swedish and English fleets, for which purpose fire ships had been sent from England, and troops were going from Sweden to make a joint attack by sea and land. The emperor of Russia will find himself, it is probable, less in troops 30,000, and in ships 18 sail of the line, besides 12 or 15 frigates—in seamen 8 or 10,000, and in reputation, his loss is incalculable. Our readers will perceive that nothing is more needed than those reports which stated the difference between Sweden and England.
Our London papers say but little on American affairs, except one of the 24th of September, which observes that it is not likely that any adjustment can take place with this government, who in proposing to raise the embargo on our part, and they to rescind their orders in council, have added, as a further condition, the relinquishment of the right to search our merchant ships for British seamen. This has been so often resisted, that a renewal of the demand at this time, has the appearance of a determination on the part of our government to continue their present measures, non-importation & embargo, or to resort to other, and stronger measures.
We have conversed with intelligent passengers, who came out in the ship Union Island, whose information corroborates, what we have before understood, that our embargo is much less regarded by both France and England, than was imagined by even those who disapproved the measure upon the ground of its imbecility.
The public anxiety increases as the period approaches, when our fate is to be decided. In a few days we calculate on being able to determine whether the embargo will be raised or continued. The advocates for the embargo say, that as the causes which produced it continue, it must be continued; this is very unsatisfactory to those who have been brought to the brink of ruin by its deleterious effects. We cannot reflect on the continuation of this measure without the most serious apprehensions; and yet we have no hopes in seeing any alteration, as long as the present men are continued in office. What they will resort to next, we pretend not to conjecture: but we are convinced that national and individual ruin will be the consequences of the continuation in confidence and power of those who direct our affairs. We shall rejoice to find that we were mistaken, and give credit for any measures which may advance the interests of the country.
The following information is written upon a London paper (the Times) of the 24th September:
LONDON, Saturday, 2 o'clock, afternoon, 24th September, 1808.
'Tis believed that the Portuguese have refused to permit the convention to be carried into effect. Accounts from the Baltic just received by the Gottengberg mail—Sir James Saumarez was bombarding the Russian fortifications, and the Russian fleet had offered to capitulate on certain terms, which were refused. The bombardment was expected to recommence."

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7.
On Sunday night arrived at Newport, the brig Jane, Captain Morse, with whom came passenger Captain R. Lee, of the brig Julian, of New-York, which was captured in latitude 15, long. 62, by a French corvette and two brigs, from France, who sunk the Julian with all her cargo and stores. The Jane, in latitude 18, 20, long. 63, was also captured by the same vessels—thirty puncheons rum were taken out, all her stores and a part of her sails, and they were about to sink her, but at length agreed to give her up to several captains to bring them and their crews to America, they giving the commodore security for three thousand dollars.—New-York paper.

PROCLAMATION.
Whereas his excellency don Juan de Casas, captain general of the Province of Venezuela and its dependencies, in reciprocation of the benefits conferred on the Spanish nation by his Britannic majesty, to aid and assist their efforts in the great and glorious cause in which they are engaged against the enemy of mankind, the perfidious Napoleon, has been pleased with the advice of his assessor, don Juan Jurado, to issue a bando or proclamation dated at Carracas the 1st day of this instant September, of which together with his excellency's letter accompanying it, the following (being translations) are copies.
The captain general of Venezuela, to his excellency the governor of the British island of Trinidad.
"EXCELLENT SIR,
"IN demonstration of my wishes to see the bonds of union which have fortunately taken place between Great Britain and Spain every day more closely connected, and that this union may produce to the individuals of both nations under my government, or who may hereafter come to the provinces of Venezuela, the reciprocal advantages which are the consequences of commerce, extensive, free and protected. I address your excellency an authentic copy of the proclamation, which I have ordered to be published respecting commerce and intercourse with the subjects of his Britannic majesty, and I request that your excellency will be pleased to make it publicly known in the island under your command, provided you think it expedient to do so.
I flatter myself that your excellency unites with me in the vows which I offer up for the glory and success of the noble efforts which our nations are making against the common enemy, and that you will accept this testimony of the distinguished consideration and perfect esteem with which I am
excellent sir, of your excellency, the most attentive, constant and obedient servant, JUAN DE CASAS.
Caraccas, 5th Sept. 1808.
(AUTO.) "In the city of Caraccas, the first day of Sept. of the year 1808. His excellency don Juan de Casas, Knight of the Order of Santiago, Colonel in the Royal army, King's Lieutenant, Subaltern Chief, Commandant-General in second, and actual President, Governor, Captain-General, and Vice Patron Royal of this Province declared: That always attentive to promote by every possible means the prosperity of the country, as well with respect to the extension of its commerce, in the manner most profitable and analogous to its constitution, as to cement the friendship and intelligence that reign with the British nation, which has united with our provinces of Europe, and made a common cause to exterminate the enemy of our government the perfidious Napoleon, and having recently received an authentic document which expressly declares the good will of his Britannic Majesty in favor of Spain, as communicated to parliament assembled by the Lords Commissioners in the following gracious speech: [Here is inserted at full length his Majesty's speech of the 4th of July as delivered by the lords commissioners to both houses of Parliament, beginning with "the recent transactions in Spain and Italy," and then concludes as follows]: "Whereof I have thought proper to declare and do hereby accordingly declare, that the commerce permitted with the island of Curacoa, by an act of the 30th of July last, shall, and is hereby extended to all the colonies of his Britannic majesty, and also to his dominions in Europe, in honor of the friendship and alliance which his majesty professes for preserving the integrity of the Spanish monarchy, and for the prosperity and happiness of all the faithful subjects of our lord and king Ferdinand the seventh.
"And thus his excellency, with the advice of the honorable don Juan Jurado of his majesty's council, honorary oidor of the royal audience, lieutenant governor, auditor de guerra and assessor general of this government and captain generalship, ordered, commanded, and signed, which I the scrivener attest.

Which in compliance with the request of his excellency as stated in his letter and in discharge of my duty to his majesty.

Extract of a letter from capt. Robert Colfax, jun. of the ship Octavia, from Charleston bound to London, to his father in the state of New Jersey, dated London, July 26th, 1808.
"We were captured the 27th of January last off Dover at 11 o'clock at night, and at 2 o'clock next morning, were landed in Calais prison, where we remained a number of days before we were released; the ship and cargo are detained under the imperial decrees; we were kept five months on prisoners allowance, and not a cent to help ourselves with, having been robbed by the privateer's men of all our money, clothes and in fact every article they could lay their rapacious hands on. I made every possible exertion for relief for myself and people, but all in vain. Myself, however, and a number more ship-masters with difficulty made a journey to Paris, where we represented our situation to our minister, Mr. Armstrong; he informed me it was a government affair, therefore he could not interfere at present, as all such cases would come under a government claim. I took that for a definitive answer and returned to Calais with the rest of my unfortunate companions, where we remained confined to small quarters for five months, at the end of which we were marched through France and Flanders into Holland, many without shoes to their feet, and otherways in a very distressed situation. Unfortunately for me I had not a shoe to my feet for more than two months until we arrived at a place called Ghent, in the interior of Flanders, there
we were supplied with French soldiers shoes; this was a comfortable thing to us, having marched many miles bare footed. We arrived, after an intolerable tedious journey, at Amsterdam, where we remained until we were put on board American vessels permitted to sail by the Dutch government. In one of them I obtained a passage to the Downs, from whence I took up my line of march on foot to London, in the greatest distress, with a small "handkerchief which contained all the treasure I had," and not a penny in my pocket, which I never knew the want of before. On my arrival I found friends and money—since which I am very comfortable. On a review of the subject I think my fortune rather hard; when I left home I took with me upwards of four thousand dollars in cash and produce, of all which I have been literally robbed, kept five months confined on prisoner's allowance, marched several hundred miles bare footed through an unfriendly country, and seemingly to augment our suffering by the orders of a government who pretend to be our friends."

Valuable Family Medicines.
The following well known genuine Medicines, from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by
James Kennedy, sen.
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 , prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store , No. 56 Maiden Lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number 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 extensive 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 further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed 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 secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colics, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances 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 taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney.
During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Anti-Bilious Pills , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many 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 dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, 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 experience 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, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleet, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.

Also, The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common laconic remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence 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. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calter. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor 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 affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint ; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
