TRIAL
OF
COLONEL A. BURR. (Continued by adjournment, and held at the Capitol in the Hall of the House of Delegates, for High Treason against the U. States.)
OPINION
Of the Court on the motion to arrest the evidence. Delivered on
MONDAY, August 31.
[CONTINUED.]
The court then proceeded to say, "the meeting of particular bodies of men, and their marching from places of partial to a place of general rendezvous, would be such an assemblage."
It is obvious from the context that the court must have intended to state a case which would in itself be unequivocal, because it would have a warlike appearance. The case stated, is that of distinct bodies of men assembling at different places and marching from these places of partial to a place of general rendezvous. When this has been done, an assemblage is produced which would in itself be unequivocal. But when is it done? What is the assemblage here described? The assemblage formed of the different bodies of partial at a place of general rendezvous. In describing the mode of coming to this assemblage the civil term "travelling" is dropped, and the military term "marching" is employed. If this was intended as a definition of an assemblage which would amount to levying of war, the definition requires an assemblage at a place of general rendezvous, composed of bodies of men who had previously assembled at places of partial rendezvous. But this is not intended as a definition, for clearly if there should be no places of partial rendezvous, if troops should embody in the first instance, in great force for the purpose of subverting the government by violence, the act would be unequivocal, it would have a warlike appearance, and it would, according to the opinion of the supreme court properly construed, and according to the English authorities, amount to levying war. But this though not a definition, is put as an example; and surely it may be safely taken as an example. If different bodies of men, in pursuance of a treasonable design plainly proved, should assemble in warlike appearance at places of partial rendezvous, and should march from those places to a place of general rendezvous, it is difficult to conceive how such a transaction could take place without exhibiting the appearance of war, without an obvious display of force. At any rate, a court in stating generally such a military assemblage as would amount to levying war, and having a case before them in which there was no assemblage whatever, cannot reasonably be understood in putting such an example, to dispense with those appearances of war which seem to be required by the general current of authorities. Certainly they ought not to be so understood when they say in express terms, that "it is more safe as well as more consonant to the principles of our constitution, that the crime of treason should not be extended by construction to doubtful cases; and that crimes not already within the constitutional definition, should receive such punishment as the legislature in its wisdom may provide."
After this analysis of the opinion of the supreme court, it will be observed, that the direct question whether of assemblage of men which might be construed to amount to a levying of war, must appear in force or in military form, was not in argument or in fact before the court, and does not appear to have been in terms decided? The opinion seems to have been drawn without particularly advertting to this question, and therefore upon a transient view of particular expressions, might inspire the idea that a display of force, that appearances of war were not necessary ingredients to constitute the fact of levying war. But upon more intent and more accurate investigation of this opinion, although the terms force and violence are not employed as descriptive of the assemblage, such requisites are declared to be indispensable as it can scarcely exist without the appearance of war and the existence of real force. It is said that war must be levied in fact, that the object must be one which is to be effected by force; that the assemblage must be such as to prove that this is its object, that it must not be an equivocal act, without a warlike appearance, that it must be an open assemblage for the purpose of force. In
the course of this opinion, decisions are quoted and approved, which require the employment of force to constitute the crime. It seems extremely difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile these various declarations with the idea that the supreme court considered a secret unarmed meeting, altho' that meeting be of conspirators, and altho' it met with a treasonable intent, as an actual levying of war. Without saying that the assemblage must be in force or in warlike form, they express themselves so as to show that this idea was never discarded, and they use terms which cannot be otherwise satisfied.
(To be continued.)
Latest Proceedings.
Thursday September 10.
[Mr. Hay's argument concluded.]
In the treason case, the indictment charged the prisoner with being present at the acts done on the island.
There is a manifest difference between this and the indictment in the treason case. In the latter, the indictment charged the prisoner with being present. But in this indictment, there is nothing which either expressly or by implication proves him to be present. Burr might begin or set on foot, provide or prepare the means of a military expedition at Blannerhasset's island, without being present. Thus a merchant in Philadelphia might prepare the means of an expedition in New York; he might enlist men by bounty and even equip a vessel for carrying them to the West Indies; without once stirring from his compting-house.
Presence, therefore, not being expressly stated, nor even alledged by inference, there is not even a variance between the case and the evidence. If there was, it would be no ground for exclusion. If it be said that the indictment is defective in not stating expressly whether he was present or absent, it might be a good reason for a motion in arrest, but not for the exclusion of evidence. This objection as to the variance is entirely new. In the cases of indicting a man for keeping a gaming house; of retailing spirituous liquors without a license; or for providing meat and drink for voters, it is not necessary to prove the presence of the accused; and such a defect is no ground of objection. But if the defendant was charged expressly to have been present, in this case, still he might be convicted, though the evidence proved him to be absent; because in this case no proof of an overt act is required.
As to Mr. Botts's second proposition, that no evidence of facts done out of the district was admissible, this had even been settled in the treason case; for it after giving evidence of an overt act of treason on Blannerhasset's island, you can give explanatory and confirmatory evidence from another district, a fortiori can it be done in the present occasion.
As to Mr. Botts's 3d proposition, that no evidence of accessorial agency can be given, until the guilt of the principal be proved by a record; it may be answered, that the accused himself is charged as the offender; that the persons supposed to be principals are merely means, the providing of which constitutes his guilt; that in treason every member of an assembly performing an overt act is a traitor, but in this case, the persons called principals, are not supposed to have legal guilt under this act, because they have not begun and set on foot, or provided the means of a military expedition; and those only who have had agency in the scheme, have begun and set it on foot.
The Chief Justice here interrupted Mr. Hay, and said that he seemed to have misunderstood the argument of the opposite counsel. The principals to whom they alluded were not the men who were enlisted, but the agents who had enlisted these men, and purchased arms and provisions.
Mr. Hay replied, that he should regret to see such a doctrine ever established in this country; a doctrine which was calculated to save able, intriguing and artful men, from the penalties of their ambition, and to expose their poor and humble agents to destruction. The persons who enlisted men and purchased arms, might be completely ignorant of the uses to which they were to be applied, and yet by this doctrine they were to be treated as the principals.
Mr. Hay continued & observed, that this 3d objection of Mr. Botts's had not been taken by the able and zealous counsel in the cases of Ogden and Smith, and that at all events this was a question of law and of fact and proper for the consideration of the jury.
Mr. Hay contended that the 4th propo-
sition, that the acts on the island do not come within the law, there being no military expedition, was a question of fact and law, and was therefore proper for the consideration of the jury; that whether under this act a man can be said to provide the means of a military expedition, unless he provides adequate means, as Mr. Botts had asserted, was not therefore essential to be discussed. Mr. Hay contended, however, that there were insuperable objections to this construction; that it was impossible to ascertain what were adequate means; that this point would depend upon the object to be attained, whether conquest, revenge and plunder; that this construction was also inconsistent with the law itself, for it would be absurd to require full means for punishment, and yet punish for beginning or setting on foot an expedition.
Mr. Hay contended that the word 'military' was only intended to mark the character of the enterprise, to shew that it was an expedition of war and not a mere commercial or trading voyage; and that no military organization was necessary, as one thousand men enlisted, 1000 guns provided, and boats, provision and ammunition prepared, would certainly come within the purview of the law.
Mr. H. contended that Mr. Botts's 5th position was no reason for excluding the evidence, that this was a question of law and fact, fit for the consideration of the jury.
He admitted that the 6th proposition standing naked was true in itself, but he contended that if there was a connexion between the parties, that the acts and confessions of one were evidence against the other; That this principle was settled in Hardy's, Thelwall's, and Tooke's cases; and that in the present case, the evidence of the connexion and agency of Blannerhasset was already before the jury, and that he was prepared to adduce additional testimony. See trial of Smith and Ogden p. 102.
The court have been engaged since Wednesday in the discussion before them.
On Thursday Mr. Botts concluded his argument. He was followed by Mr. Hay. —Mr. Wirt was to have followed Mr. Hay, but was too much indisposed to commence his argument this evening. The court was thereupon adjourned till to-morrow ten o'clock.
Friday, September 11.
Mr. MacRae opened the argument on the part of the prosecution. He was followed by Mr. Wirt on the same side who closed the arguments for the prosecution on the part of the United States. —Mr. Randolph then commenced the reply on the part of col. Burr, and it is expected that Mr. Martin will close the arguments to-morrow. On this interesting question, in which the fate of the prosecution depends, much legal knowledge and a great share of eloquence have been displayed. —The gentlemen on both sides have manifested a zeal which at least convinces the conviction of their own minds, that they were advocating the cause of truth.
From the London Traveller of July 29.
LATE CAMPAIGN IN POLAND.
We are enabled to lay before our readers a more circumstantial account of the Late operations in Poland, than are to be found in the French bulletins, the Russian reports, or any official document whatever. Of the competence of the writer of the following letter to give a detail of military transactions, we offer no opinion; in that respect we leave him to the judgment of those, who may read his interesting narrative, but that he has faithfully and accurately represented occurrences as they appeared to him, we have no hesitation in pledging ourselves. If we were disposed to differ with him upon any point, it would be with respect to the opinion he seems to entertain of gen. Bennigsen's talents. It is however an old remark that "a looker on sees more of the game than the players."
MEMEL, (Prussia), June 22, 1807.
Dear Sir—As the late interesting events on the continent, must occupy your serious attention, I transmit the details of the operations to which I was an eye witness, which I have endeavored to give with accuracy, without suffering the narrative to be influenced by favor or affection.
After various projects and much irreso-
lution, general Bennigsen, commenced the campaign on the morning of the 5th, by an attack on Gustadt, with an intention of destroying the corps of marshal Ney en presumption of his advanced position, but by errors of combination and other faults, the marshal with 18,000 men, manœuvred for two days against 75,000 men, and with the loss of four thousand men and his baggage. The Prussians had attempted on the right to pass the Passarge, but were repulsed, and a division of the Russians encountering a part of marshal Soult's corps, lost many men, so that on the whole the Russians did not gain any considerable advantage. By the retreat of marshal Ney, marshal Davoust was much exposed at Allenstein; but he was permitted to withdraw without interruption, and his union with marshal Ney was effected at Deppen on the 8th, where early in the morning, the enemy had commenced a cannonade, and where Bonaparte was seen to arrive, and even the greeting of his troops were heard very distinctly. The attack was evidently a false one, but the enemy wished to deceive the Russians with the idea of their falling back on Ostrode, for only troops marched in that direction in front of the Russians, but the baggage was also sent on the Ostrode road. It was however perceived to return after making a circuit through a wood, and move on the way to Liebstadt. In the evening the cossacks having successfully attacked a corps of cavalry which had passed the Passarge, gen. Bennigsen discovered from the prisoners an intention of the enemy to march direct from Elditen, upon Heilsberg; he therefore, directly withdrew his army behind Gustadt, and the next morning the French advancing from the Wood, which covered the bridge of Elditen, commenced an attack on the Russian rear guard which had been left to observe their movements.
Prince Bagration and general Platow effected a very masterly retreat, having long resisted the progress of the enemy, by repeated attacks, which obliged the employment of the whole of their cavalry, the formation of several hollow squares of infantry, and the use of a considerable artillery; and the Russians retired thro' Gustadt with very little loss, and succeeded in burning the bridges. The next day the French advanced on the left bank of the Alle, to Lannau, and then forced the Russian posts advanced on the road to Heilsberg; but prince Bagration arriving from the right bank with the 10,000 men, commenced a very severe action. The French, however, determined to annihilate, if possible, this force; and, therefore, instead of acting against it with an advanced guard, attacked with several corps of the army, and pressed the prince so much that he was obliged to send for succors; when the cavalry was ordered to cover his retreat upon the position where batteries had several weeks previously been constructed, and where now gen. Bennigsen wished to draw the enemy. The cavalry acted with various success; and the Prussian 25 squadrons, which had arrived in the morning from the corps of L'Estocq, with the remainder of Kaminsky's corps, which had returned from the Fahrwasser, at the mouth of the Vistula, conducted themselves with great gallantry; but all their exertions could not prevent a heavy loss to the infantry. However, when the guns on the position began to fire on the advancing enemy, they were obliged to recede.
It was about six o'clock when the French columns again moved forward with the intention of storming the advanced battery, and which, for a moment, they carried; but the right wing of the Russians charging instantly with the bayonet, the French were driven back with great slaughter, and the Russians advanced their line considerably, even throwing their right upon a small wood, situated from their position at the advance of a musket shot. The action then continued with an extraordinary cannonade, and an incessant fire of musketry. A little before ten o'clock, information was received, that the division of Oudinot's grenadiers was again about to storm the advanced battery, presuming to succeed under the favor of the prevailing darkness. Arrangements were made accordingly, and the column was received with such discharges of musketry and grape, that the survivors were obliged to fly in the wildest disorder, behind the wood, where the Russian right had been thrown, but was withdrawn into the position during the night; and there was even a partial firing until day-break, when the cannonade re-commenced, as the French army was seen forming, with

the intention as was presumed to renew the action. The intermediate space between the two armies was actually covered with the dead of the French, particularly of their grenadiers; and the most experienced officers admitted, that, on an equal space of ground, they had never seen such a carnage. As the bodies had been stripped during the night, by mingled friends & foes, the spectacle was the more remarkable. About mid day the French army was distinctly seen to defile on the road to Konigsburg, but a corps was left in front of the Russians, and another on the right—General Bennigsen ordered General Kamien to march upon Konigsburg, with his corps, and he moved about six o'clock the same evening to anticipate the enemy. At the same time orders were sent to Pilsau for his retreat from Konigsburg. Fortunately that general had intercepted an order to General Victor, commanding Beradotte's division (which marshal had been wounded) directing him to attack Pilsau instantly, and march to Konigsburg, so that General Pilsau had previous notice, and commenced his retreat accordingly. Gen. Bennigsen, in stead of falling upon the corps of Ney and Davoust, still stationed almost within cannon-shot, abandoned during the night, Heilsberg and his wounded. Fortunately, the enemy made no attack, for it was seven o'clock in the morning before the bridges could be burnt. The Russian army reached Barrenstein on the 11th, on the 12th Shippenbeil, and on the 13th, the ground in front of Friedland, always moving on the right bank of the Alle, except between Barrenstein & Shippenbeil, where corps of cavalry marched on the left bank. Some French dragoons had patrolled into Friedland on the morning of the 13th and passed the Alle. These were attacked and some prisoners taken, who informed Gen. Bennigsen that the division of Oudinot was on its march to Friedland. The General, wishing to occupy the town for the night, ordered several regiments across the river, and made them take post on the other side of the town. At 4 o'clock in the morning, this cavalry was attacked by the enemy from the wood which bordered the plain in front of the town. The General, imagining that Oudinot's corps was only opposed to him, retarded his march on Wehlau, where he was going, and ordered one of his divisions to cross and support the cavalry. The enemy showing more force, the general was induced to order another division over, and a serious action commenced, without an object, in a position untenable, and where his troops could not gain a victory, but might probably be ruined. This great catastrophe, however, was spared by the fault of the enemy, who did not attack on both sides of the river, where any retreat would have been impracticable. The position in which the general threw his troops was apparently an equal plain, but divided by a deep ravine full of water, and nearly impassable, which ran in the direction of Danau to Friedland, where, on the left side of the town, a lake was formed, and which intersected the right of the left of the Russians from the left of their centre. A thick wood, about a mile and an half from Friedland, on the skirts of which rose an elevated ground, bordered the plain from the Alle, nearly in a semi-circle, extending towards the left extremity, where there was an open space. In front of this wood, a mile from the town, and nearly opposite the centre, was the small village of Henrichshorst. From a little to the left of this village, down to the Alle, south of Friedland, was the theatre of action. About seven o'clock the French made a movement, with 36 squadrons of cavalry and some infantry, to gain the village on the plain; and as the division of Russians intended to occupy it was only on its march from the Alle, they succeeded in possessing themselves of it and of three guns, which had hastily advanced; twelve Russian squadrons had been ordered to resist their movement. The French cavalry charged them and they fled, but the infantry approaching, the French lost many men, particularly cuirassiers, in the pursuit. At the same time the French infantry advanced from the village to turn the right of the Russians, before their reinforcement took post, but 20 pieces of cannon from their column of 2500 men to pieces, and it fled, leaving 1000 killed and wounded. The efforts of the enemy now relaxed, and about eleven o'clock the Russians having nearly passed all their army, about 15,000 men, and detached 8000 of their troops to secure Allenberg and Wehlau, the enemy commenced a retreat, when Bennigsen ordered the left to advance and gain the wood. The chasseurs of the guards, directed to perform this service, executed it with great gallantry,
and killed and took in the wood a great number of the enemy. They also captured the eagle of the 15th regiment; but some columns of the French still remaining there they were obliged to retire, from precaution, behind a village on the banks of the Alle, and a few hundred paces in front of the wood. About mid-day, a considerable French reinforcement was discovered, and instantly the contest was renewed with great fury, for the enemy advancing, with a considerable discharge of field pieces, were answered by all the Russian artillery, ever eager to fire. The Russian cavalry, 100 squadrons, had endeavored to gain the left of the enemy. Having succeeded, a party charged the French cuirassiers, who ran away; but, being met by some officers, they rallied, and turned upon their pursuers, who checked their career; but although both parties mutually declined the shock, they advanced until they met sword to sword, when the Russians were overpowered, after a few minutes contest; but, as they were withdrawing, a Russian regiment charged on the flank of the French, and broke thro' them. At this instant a French regiment charged in the same manner the successful Russians, and a melee ensued, which terminated in the total rout of the French cavalry, and the ground was strewed with their men and horses. Above three wagon loads of cuirassiers were also collected from the killed and wounded lying in this part of the field.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman in London, to his friend in Philadelphia.
"I have only time to mention two or three observations. From some pointed inquiries which have been made regarding Pensacola—the depth of water there, the security of the harbor, quantity of troops, &c. &c. I infer England has her eye on that quarter."
"You will have heard of the British vessels being ordered to leave Toningen, &c. This I believe was premature, and merely arose from the fears of the British consul there. There is a very considerable direct trade carried on between this country and Holland, in neutral ships licensed by the government of Holland; so likewise to France and Spain. The idea of a general peace on the continent makes the people here very modest, they are in my opinion generally afraid of Bonaparte, and should he get a landing, he would have very little opposition, except from the regular troops."
"America is no longer viewed with indifference by this country, as regards her commerce—but considered a powerful rival . The British, I am well persuaded, would go any length to destroy our carrying trade, and check our enterprize, but the calculation seems to be that they must equally injure themselves to injure us. We have almost destroyed the East India and China Trade of this country. The East India Company is doing bad business; and, by some, thought not overstocked with capital."
"The introduction of cotton on the continent, and of various manufactures of that article, will, I think, sooner or later, deprive this country of one of her best branches of manufacture."
Extract of another letter, from the same to the same.
"Since I wrote you last, I have ascertained the following facts."
"1st. That our government instructed our ministers not to agree to any treaty that did not make an American ship, a sanctuary for seamen."
"2d. That the British commissioners
absolutely refused to insert any clause to that effect in the treaty in as much as it went to encourage desertion from their ships, and when deserted thereby protected.
"3d. That our ministers in consequence, declared the negotiation at an end."
"4th. That the British commissioners solicited a continuation of the negotiation on all the other subjects, which was agreed to upon the express condition that such partial treaty should not be held official on the part of the United States."
"5th. In lieu of the article regarding seamen insisted upon by our ministers, the British commissioners in form of a letter, avowed the practice they would pursue towards the United States regarding seamen."
"6th. There was no additional article to the treaty (as was supposed) but the British commissioners addressed a letter to our ministers (after Bonaparte's decree of blockade) declaring themselves at liberty to counteract the measures France might pursue under that decree, unless America resisted the encroachments of France."
"7th. That the treaty in other respects was as favorable and reciprocal as could reasonably be expected."
"No apprehensions exist of any change of sentiment towards America in consequence of the new administration. In case no treaty should be agreed upon, we shall only be considered to stand on the ground we did before we had a treaty with this country. Our sealer ships will not be permitted to enter as American ships in British ports."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Liverpool, dated August 8, received in Philadelphia.
The commerce of this country continues materially affected by the recent occurrences on the continent of Europe, and the more so as the French are adopting decisive measures for shutting up all the countries which they can controul, against the trade and navigation of Great Britain.
In confirmation of this we must annex the 21st and 27th articles of the treaty of Peace between France and Prussia—and, it is expected that a similar article has been introduced into the treaty with Russia.
It is much doubted however, whether it will be practicable wholly to prevent the introduction of British exports on the continent; but while this continues to be so important an object with the French and until it is ascertained through what channel goods can be passed with the greatest safety, we do not expect that trade will experience any material improvement.
The intelligence of the rencounter between the British and American frigates, produced a spirit of speculation in American produce; some considerable sales have been made at the prices previously asked, and some at a small advance.
The President's Proclamation has just appeared and its temper, spirit and moderation are generally approved. We hope and expect it will tend in some degree, to lessen the alarm which had been previously excited; and especially if it should happily prove that no further hostile intercourse or bloodshed shall have taken place with you.
We do not look for any further advance in the prices of American exports at present, but much will depend on the increase or otherwise of the prospect of hostilities between the two countries.
We also annex the copy of a circular letter from Lord Hawkesbury, from which it will be found that vessels not built in the U. States or sailing under an American sea letter, are not hereafter to convey goods to the ports of Ireland as heretofore.
You will observe, that the limitations now prescribed for Ireland are the same with those which have for two years existed in this country; and have been constantly inserted in our prices current; although occasional relaxations from them, under the authority of orders in council, have with difficulty been obtained. But notwithstanding this, we would hope, that if Lord Hawkesbury's letter had not been issued previously to the receipt of the late painful intelligence from America, the present time would not have been chosen for enforcing this limitation even in Ireland.
From a late London paper.
The London Gazette contains an order in Council for prohibiting the exportation of gun-powder, or salt-petre, or any sort of arms or ammunition for six months, till the 6th of December, 1807.
There is a strong reason to believe that the sudden reconciliation between the Emperor Alexander and Bonaparte, & the interchange of their respective orders which followed, has created almost as much surprise and disapprobation in Russia, and in the Russian army, as in this country. When the Emperor Alexander recrossed the Niemen, and joined his army, decorated with the Cordon of the Legion of Honor, he was not only received without the usual demonstrations of attachment, but there were even strong expressions of dissatisfaction.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered 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.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speeck, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public, being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, Taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place 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, Glets, 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 other 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 Calton-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; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins 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 Dobbins 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.
