IMPORTANT STATE PAPER.
DECLARATION.
GEORGE THE THIRD, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, king, defender of the faith, duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg, arch treasurer and elector of the Holy Roman empire, &c. &c.
THE court of Prussia has avowed those hostile designs which she thought to conceal by her friendly professions.
The Note Verbale, delivered on the 4th of April, by the Prussian envoy, baron Jacobi Kleest, to the British ministry, announces that the electorate of Hanover has been taken possession of, and that the ports of the German Sea, and of Lubeck, have been closed against the British flag.
This declaration gives the lie to all those assurances by which the cabinet of Berlin has hitherto endeavored to cloak its proceedings, to which it moreover adds the pretension that his Prussian majesty has acquired, by his system of policy, claims to the gratitude of all the northern powers.
Thus actually dispossessed of the ancient inheritance of my family, and insulted in my rights as a sovereign, I have ordered such measures to be taken as the honor of my crown requires; but I still owe it to myself, to Europe, and to my subjects, to make a public declaration of my sentiments, as elector of Brunswick Lüneburg, upon the unjust usurpation of my German possessions.
It is not necessary to prove how contrary this act is to the rights of nations, or to the laws of the German empire. Their infraction is too evident to be required to be proved. It is the most sacred principle of good faith, of honor, and, in fact, of all the obligations upon which the reciprocal safety of different states among themselves, and of each civil society in itself, repose, which are trodden under foot in such a manner that the world would have difficulty in believing it. If I did not cause the facts to be laid before them, which are authenticated in the narrative which I have ordered to be prepared.
The proceedings of the court of Berlin when the electorate was occupied by its troops in 1801; its conduct, far from being friendly during the negotiation for the indemnities which followed the peace of Luneville; the declaration which it made, when France prepared to invade the electorate; and, lastly, the burthensome conditions under which it endeavored to cause it to be evacuated, to substitute her own troops, instead of France, had given too many proofs to the government of Hanover, not to oblige it to endeavor to avoid all sort of intervention on the part of this power, even at the moment that it was on the point of engaging in a dispute with France. The events which retarded the arrival in Hanover of the expedition concerted between Great Britain, Russia, and Sweden, gave the Prussian troops an opportunity of anticipating them, after the French army had been obliged to evacuate the electorate.
This step was accompanied by the most injustice on the part of Prussia. She invited the Hanoverian government to resume its functions in my name, and to collect the wreck of the army.
The country, already so unfortunate, doubly felt the weight of the numerous requisitions extorted by the Prussian corps, without the least regard to the situation in which the French left it.
After the unfortunate result of the campaign of the allies, in the south of the empire, an attack in the north was to be expected. His imperial majesty of Russia, to obviate the dangers to which Prussia might be exposed, placed, in consequence of the convention of Potzdam, his troops under count De Tolstoy, and the corps of general Benningsen, under the orders of his Prussian majesty, and promised him, moreover, all the assistance for which he might have occasion. It was scarcely to be expected that Prussia would avail herself of this advantage, and of that which the promise of the subsidy she had asked of Great Britain gave her, to obtain from France terms contrary to the interests which these resources were intended to protect. This, notwithstanding, has actually happened. The secret treaty, the effects of which are beginning to appear, was signed by count Haugwitz and the French general Duroc, the 12th of December, 1805, the period fixed as the term when Prussia was to declare war against France, in case that power should have rejected the propositions which count Haugwitz was to make to her, in consequence of the convention of Potzdam.
Seven days after, December 22, the cabinet of Berlin proposed to the British
ambassador the arrangements to be taken in common with the Prussian generals, for the propositions of the allied armies in Lower Saxony; and dispatched, in consequence, lieutenant colonel baron De Krusemark, with a letter to the Hanoverian government, to induce it to furnish provisions for the French garrison at Hameln. It was necessary to concur in this arrangement (which was only provisionally terminated the 4th of January) because it was to prevent the French troops from undertaking any thing against Hanover during the negotiation.
Was the Court of Berlin then ignorant in what manner Count Haugwitz had concluded this negotiation? Did it not know, before the signature of the treaty, what would be the end of it? Or, did that minister dispose, as he pleased, of the good faith of his master?
It was on the 27th of January, that the Cabinet of Berlin announced to the Hanoverian Government, "that in consequence of a treaty signed and ratified by the two parties, my German possessions would no longer be occupied by the French troops; that they would be entirely evacuated by those who were still there, and delivered up, until a future peace between England and France should have decided their condition, to the protection of the troops of his Prussian Majesty, and to his exclusive administration." The Hanoverian government was required but to go purpose, to intimate to all the public officers, that they were, for the future, to consider themselves as finally responsible to the Prussian commission of administration, excluding all foreign reference."
The dispatch addressed the 25th of January to the Prussian minister, and intended to justify this proceeding, was signed by the king of Prussia's own hand. It ended with these words—"I think it unnecessary to observe how much the territories in question ought to be satisfied with this change of scene; and my wishes would be fulfilled if, in consequence of the disinterested views by which I am impelled, the administration I have taken upon me should turn out to the happiness of the country and its inhabitants; and by that means satisfactory to his Britannic Majesty, to whom I desire nothing more than to give, in this instance, as in all others, all the proofs of consideration, of defence, and of friendship, which circumstances may put in my power."
The experience of the past, and well founded apprehension of the future, did not allow me to hesitate about the part necessary to be taken; and my Electoral government was instructed not to enter into any negotiation, the object of which might have been to avoid a new French invasion, by allowing the Prussians to occupy Hanover.
The protest made upon this occasion by my Electoral Minister, of State was ineffectual. The king of Prussia caused the greatest part of the country to be occupied at the moment that my troops re-embarked; and his measures were executed without the least regard.
It was too easy to foresee that count Haugwitz would find means at Paris to bring back the arrangement between Prussia and France, announced here as ratified by the contracting parties, to its original intention.
This was what took place; and the French troops took possession of Anspach, one of the objects of compensation, according to the treaty of December 15, the very day that the marquis de Lucchesini could reach Berlin with intelligence that France required the execution of the articles agreed upon at Vienna.
The answer returned by the British cabinet to the communication of January 25, did not arrive at Berlin until after the minister of state, baron Hardenberg, had announced to the British envoy the hostile measures which have compelled me to suspend my relations with a court that could so far forget itself.
The Prussian note of April 4 can furnish no good arguments to establish an unjustifiable measure.
It begins by vaunting the pacific disposition of Prussia. This disposition is no further sincere than as it has for its foundation the principles of a just neutrality. The note delivered by the cabinet of Berlin to the French minister on the 14th of October, at the very instant that Prussia appeared to feel the affront which she received by the violation of the territory of Anspach, acknowledges that the conduct which she had followed to that time had proved of advantage to France.
Her actions had much less pretensions to the character of impartiality. After having permitted the French troops who seized on the electorate of Hanover, a passage
through the Prussian territory, she declared herself ready to oppose, sword in hand, that which the emperor of Russia had demanded for his armies.
France herself forced the passage: she pretended to offer excuses for that step, but it was in a manner equally offensive.
She had seen too clearly where the resentment of Prussia would terminate, which in fact appeared to be stifled when his imperial majesty of Russia engaged in a personal communication with the king.
Prussia then demanded subsidies of Great Britain, which were promised to her, and she signed the convention of Potsdam, the conditions of which she would, doubtless, have been more disposed to fulfil, if I could have so far forgotten my duty, as to consent to the proposition of ceding the electorate of Hanover for some Prussian province.
Prussia affirms, that from the events of the war, she has not had the choice of means to secure the safety of its monarchy, and of the states of the North. She wishes to make it appear, that she has been compelled to aggrandize herself, and to become the instrument, rather than the object, of the vengeance of my enemies.
Such an avowal does not become a great power. All Europe knows that it depended on Prussia, before the battle of Austerlitz, to give repose to Europe, if she had taken the part which her real interests and the outraged honor of her monarchy dictated to her. She can no longer be excused, after having missed such an opportunity; and even since the event of the 2d of December, did she not command an army of 250,000 men, who still remember the victories it obtained under the great Frederick, which was in the best disposition, and supported by the whole Russian army, two corps of which were actually under the command of the king of Prussia?
She would, without doubt, have been subject to certain risks; but she found herself in a situation, when every danger must be encountered to save the honor of the state. The prince who hesitates in making a choice, destroys the principle which serves as the basis of a military monarchy; and Prussia ought already to begin to feel the sacrifice she has made of her independence.
The note of April 4 affirms "that France had considered the electorate as its conquest and that its troops had been on the point of re-entering it, to make a definitive disposal of it."
The electorate of Hanover, as an integral part of the Germanic empire, is not concerned in the war between Great Britain and France; nevertheless, it has been unjustly invaded by that power, which has, notwithstanding, frequently indicated the object for which she was disposed to restore it.
France was at length compelled to abandon the country, and forty thousand of my troops, and those of my allies, were established there, when the count de Haugwitz signed the treaty which disposes of my states. It is true, that the Russian corps was then at the disposal of his Prussian majesty; but its chief, with the genuine spirit of an honorable man, was not the less determined to fight, if the allies of his master were attacked. We shall not speak of the French garrison which remained at Hameln, insufficient in point of number, deprived of the means of defence, and on the point of being besieged, when the promises of Prussia caused the plan to be abandoned.
The intention of France to dispose definitively of the electorate would have been contrary to the assertion she has so often made. It would, moreover, have been contrary to the usage of war, since even a conquest is not definitively disposed of before a peace; and particularly at a moment when a wish might exist to manifest a pacific disposition.
Prussia had no right to judge if Great Britain had the mean of opposing the return of my enemies to the electorate. Her power furnishes her with the means of bringing the war to an honorable end, for the interests she defends; but it is difficult to conceive in what light Prussia pretends that her measures removed troops that are strangers to the electorate, and ensures the repose of the north. Her troops, in consequence of the barbarous conduct of her cabinet, will remain as much strangers to the electorate as the French troops. Prussia should not speak of her sacrifices at the moment when her only aim is to aggrandize herself, unless she feels the loss of her independence to be such, and how much she has departed from her duty, in abandoning one of the oldest possessions of her house, and of subjects who implored, in vain, her assistance. Besides, sacrifices have no connection with my system of policy, and confer no right on her to usurp
the government of my German subjects whose fidelity nothing has hitherto shaken, and which they will retain towards my son, and a family of princes, who for ages have only sought their happiness.
It is evident that the conduct of the court of Berlin is not the free expression of the will of its sovereign, but the consequence of the influence exercised by enemies in the cabinet of that prince, the courts and all the states, however, who can judge of circumstances, and that they owe to the system adopted by the court of Berlin, will agree that the committed against a sovereign, united his Prussian majesty by the ties of blood, and until now by those of friendship, the safety of Europe in greater danger than any act of hostility on the part of a power with which one might be at war.
Convinced of the justice of my cause, make my appeal to all the powers of Europe, who are interested in resisting the consolidation of a system which by threatening the political existence of an integral part of the German empire, brings in question the security of the whole. I demand, most earnestly, the constitutional aid which is due to me as elector, head of the empire, its august head, as well as Russia and Sweden, the powers have guaranteed its constitution, and still continue to manifest the most honorable disposition for the preservation of my states.
Lastly, I protest, in the most solemn manner, for myself, and my heirs, against every encroachment on my rights in the electorate of Brunswick Lüneburg, and its dependencies; and I repeat, in quality of elector the declaration made by the minister of my crown at the court of Berlin, that no advantage arising from political arrangements, much less any offer whatever of an indemnity or equivalent, shall ever engage me to forget what I owe to my dignity, the attachment, and exemplary fidelity of my Hanoverian subjects, so as to yield my consent to the alienation of my electorate.
Given at the palace of Windsor, the 29th day of April, 1805, in the 45th year of my reign.

IMPORTANT.
(Concluded.)
It is then a well ascertained fact that the whole of the claimants are American citizens, and had not this been the case, they would not have repeatedly declared to be entitled to the benefit of the conventions of 1800 and 1803.
Had their title as American citizens been questioned, the New Jersey would not have been restored them by the council of prizes, the American commissioners would not have declared them to be entitled to the Louisiana money, nor would your excellency have agreed to the restitution even of three elevenths of their indisputable claim.
But the point of the citizens being once granted, the consequence must be that eight elevenths of the claim were rejected merely because you considered this portion of the claim as belonging to the underwriters, and because your opinion was, that said underwriters were entitled to no redress or restitution whatsoever.
But this is the very point to which Mr. Madison's letter relates; he officially informs you that the president entertains a different opinion upon the subject, and that he looks upon the underwriters as standing exactly upon the same footing with the insured.
Hence we may infer that, far from being foreign to our claim, Mr. Madison's letter was exclusively intended for the same, since it contains the president's sense respecting the only point, a wrong construction of which has been the cause of denying eight elevenths of the amount.
Hence we may infer also, that the only objection you may possibly have had against the claim, being so explained and done away by the letter, the president's wish must implicitly be understood to be that a full restitution be effected.
Said inference must be right indeed, unless your excellency had other motives for thus rejecting so large a part of the claim, which we cannot suppose to be the case: 1st. Because we can see no other pretence for rejecting the claim; 2d. Because your excellency's wisdom warrants us that you would not, chiefly after you had been so grossly imposed upon, respecting the very material point of the citizenship, have either listened to or adopted new motives of exclusion, without fairly having the same disclosed to those concerned.

No body better than your excellency, knows that the laws and manners of your country can admit of no arbitrary measures of no decision which is not supported by motives openly declared to the party concerned, and by which said party might, in the dark, be denied the eight elevenths of a just and considerable claim; no body better than you knows that the American law has not vested a minister, nor any officer under the American constitution, with the right of denying any one of the benefit of a treaty, to which, as being "the law of the land," all Americans are equally entitled.
The claimants in the case of the New Jersey, have then as a kind of birth right, to be informed, whether any motive, besides the one alluded to in Mr. Madison's letter, has become a bar to the full admitting of their claim.
If any such exists, we solemnly engage to do it away also.
If there is none but the one alluded to, it is the president's will that the claim be admitted.
To the above we beg leave to add, as observed by us to his excellency the French minister, that the claim must be either good or bad, for the whole of it. Hence the unavoidable consequence that the claimants are unjustly wronged to the amount of 800,000 francs, in the first case, and that the American treasury are wronged to the amount of 300,000 francs in the other case.
Such a precedent cannot stand upon the records of so pure and wise an administration as the American one; and we trust you will not hesitate in granting us the following our prayer, either to disclose to us the new motives by which you have been guided; or, if no new motive has occurred, and the opinion respecting the underwriters has been the only ground upon which the claim has been reduced, that you will, this ground being now happily removed, obtain from the French minister and government, an additional allowance equal to what remains due to the claimants upon the Louisiana fund.
The personal regard which said minister justly entertains for your excellency, added to the responsibility which a refusal on his part must attach to your government and to yourself, induces us to hope that your demand will be readily complied with.
Whether there are funds sufficient left is more than it is in our power to say. But in case the same were wanting, we must, after doing every effort in our power to support our constituents' rights in this country, trust the same to the justice of their own country and the authority of the American law.
We must conclude with observing freely how sorry we have been to see it stated in your secretary's answer to us, the case is terminated. We can in a few words convince your excellency that it is not.
1st. When we have received the 800,000 francs and given our receipt accordingly, to which said expression must allude, we did it merely because upon our declining it at first, the French minister positively declared to us that, 'should said sum be refused, we should have nothing at all.'
2d. The powers we had from the claimants were intended only for a fair and full restitution of the amount of the claim. Hence the inference that we had no authority to compromise or agree to so heavy and so unjust a sacrifice, and that, when compelled to do it, if we have received a partial payment only, the claimant's rights cannot, in the least, be impaired by it.
3d. A settlement of this kind can never be compared with the one made between individuals in the usual course of judiciary proceedings. We admit that where two parties being of age, after being at law, come to a compromise, said compromise must be a bar to their respective claims, because every party had a right to support and defend his claim and to abide by the decision of the law.
But the case is quite the reverse in an administrative settlement, that is, a settlement between an individual claimant and a government. Governments, as being the source of justice, sit as judges in their own cause, and their party is denied the privilege of debating or otherwise supporting his rights. Hence the necessary inference that an administrative settlement can never be said to terminate a case, unless the same be just and equal to the demand; because as long as there is something unpaid, the claimant is of right supposed to have made a reservation of what he could not force an actual payment of, for which he must trust to the justice of his debtor, and for which he has a fair claim as soon as the indebted government perceive that they were mistaken and that they have but par-
tially done that justice which it was their wish and duty to do full and complete.
These rules are constantly practised by the French administration, whose agents are sensible that from the very circumstance of their own cause, no act of theirs can be set up as a bar against the creditor, as long as justice was not completely done.
As to the American government, the same rule ought the more to prevail in this case, as their representative, thro' errors of which no man is exempt, and which said government has officially disclaimed, has been the author of the enormous and unjust reduction which the claim has experienced.
We trust, therefore, that your excellency will not consider this as being a terminated case; that you will deem it right and proper to grant us our said request, either to have the balance of the claim discharged, or to state to us whether any and what motives, besides the one alluded to in Mr. Madison's letter, has and still does prevent the discharging the whole amount aforesaid.
Should your excellency refuse both these two points, we think it our duty to persist in the protestation we have already made, as well as those which the claimants themselves have made both in their memorial to the secretary of state of the 25th of July last, and in their letter to you of the 9th of August.
With the highest regard, We have the honor to be, Sir, your excellency's Most obed't humble serv'ts, J. M. DE LA GRANGE, DU PONT."

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. TUESDAY, JUNE 3.
A London paper of the 10th of April, contains the following interesting paragraph on the subject of neutral rights :
"Whatever real grievances America has to urge against us, will, we are persuaded, be redressed and atoned. There are points however, on which we cannot flatter her with much hopes of success. She cannot expect that the English government will so far concede to the clamors of her merchants as to sacrifice the principles of our navigation laws to their pretensions of what they call "neutral rights."
And a paper of the 19th contains the following speech of the king of Sweden:
Head quarters at Griefswald, April 7. On the 3d instant, the whole of the Swedish army was assembled upon the great plain near Siemersdorf, when, after forming and going through some manœuvres his majesty made the following speech:
"I have assembled those who give as well as those who receive orders, to afford you a proof of my content and satisfaction for the zeal with which every one has endeavored to do his duty, since you have been called into service. If circumstances have hitherto prevented me, from effecting the great object, for which I called you to this country, we must so far acknowledge the will of the most high, and conform ourselves to it accordingly. In the mean while you have preserved the honor of the Swedish arms untarnished.
"I have brought you back into this country, which was so gloriously conquered by your ancestors; and of our companions in arms, none are wanting but those who, by virtue of my command, are left behind, in the German states of my ally, the king of England, for their protection. We have certainly great cause to be thankful to the most high for the singular protection afforded us, in these critical times. I hereby call upon you all, to thank God most cordially, and to implore his grace,
that we may now, as well as hereafter, be enabled to walk in the paths of virtue and honor."
On the Non-Contagiousness of Yellow Fever. —We present to our readers the following extract from " The Medical and Physical Journal ," of London, for the month of March, 1806.
To the Editors of the Medical and Physical Journal .
GENTLEMEN, My friend Dr. Rush, of Philadelphia, has in his new edition of his Medical Inquiries and Observations , retracted his former opinion respecting the contagious nature of the yellow fever; and being desirous of making this recantation as public as possible, he has requested me to obtain the insertion of the following extract from his preface, in one of the periodical works of this country. If you will have the goodness to give it a place in your valuable Journal, my friend's object will be accomplished, and you will much oblige yours, &c.
L. J. JARDINE. Liverpool, Feb. 10, 1806.
"In the fourth volume, the reader will find a retraction of the author's former opinion of the Yellow Fever spreading by contagion. He begs forgiveness of the friends of science and humanity, if the publication of that opinion has had any influence in increasing the misery and mortality attendant upon that disease. Indeed such is the pain he feels, in recollecting that he ever entertained or propagated it, that it will long, and perhaps always, deprive him of the pleasure he might otherwise have derived from a review of his attempts to fulfil the public duties of his profession."
Hamburg, April 21. Letters have been received here which assert, that an English squadron of six sail of the line has passed the sound to cruise in the Baltic.
Preiburg, April 4. The Gazette of this city contains the following article, dated Carloibago, March 23:
"We yesterday received positive intelligence of the occupation of Cattaro, and a part of Dalmatia by the Russian troops. The Montenegrins had at first taken possession of some villages, and had agreed with the inhabitants to defend the entrance of the country against the French till the arrival of the Russians. Six Russian ships and 20,000 troops soon after arrived. The necessary preparations were then made for a vigorous opposition to any attack on the part of the French. All the passages by which they could enter were fortified, and filled with troops and artillery, in such a manner that it appeared almost impossible to force them."
"The number of the combined troops is said to amount to 20,000. They are defended by the nature of the ground, and have provisions for a long time. No Frenchmen have yet appeared in these environs, and we are assured that they do not extend beyond Macasco."
"According to other accounts, the Montenegrins has risen in a mass to stop the efforts of the French, and we are assured that the Turks of the countries have joined them and the Russians."
Venice, April 2. The Russians and English have blockaded this port 12 days past, and suffer no vessel to enter or go out. The harbour is full of Venetian vessels, whose inactivity causes the greatest detriment to our commerce. Trieste profits, and is enriched by this, because its vessels sail under the Austrian flag, which is neutral.
It is apprehended, not without foundation, that if the war continues, the Russians and English will blockade all the ports of Italy.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption. 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 taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General 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 coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing. On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN. Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated 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 complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile dissipation—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive temperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the distemper peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lying 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) Obstinate gleet, Barrenness, Impotency, &c. &c.
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, bursley, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. &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 preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, 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 letter useful you are at liberty to make it public. Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN. John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, he Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily 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 drying 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 medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed 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 dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels. This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary a particular excellence of this it-
contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old. Should the worms exist in the body, but will, without 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 humors 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 Tæres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tænia 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 disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted urine—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fecal stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with townness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy 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 attended 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 necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, leaving 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 Harford 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 tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived, but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted 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 possession 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 mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
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 accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless 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 appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite replete 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 complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, to often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which I judge this medicine 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 influence, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant. JOHN MOLTHER.
