PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northum- berland court house, in the county of Nor- thumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court- house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is under- stood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water car- riage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Ba- timore, Alexandria, and the city of Wash- ington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable. The premises will be shown to persons in- clining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadel- phia.

C O P Y
Of a report of the Commissary of the French frigate Juno, to the Minister of Marine, dated
St. Bartholemews, Feb. 29, 1809.
Sir,
We set sail from the Saintes the 7th of Feb. 1809, at 8 in the evening, going through the South passage. Whilst in the Channel off the Saintes and on the north passage, we discovered the Latona frigate, which about three o'clock, P. M. of that day, had sent a flag to the Saintes to enquire the fate of some men, who had been killed or taken on the evening of the 6th, near where they had landed from the pinnace, undoubtedly for the purpose of buying provisions, which they had been accustomed to do.
Col. Madier, the commander of the Saintes, to whom capt. Rosseau had imparted his intentions to sail the evening of that day, under some pretext, detained the English flag.
Towards six in the evening, the English frigate Latona, discovering that her cutter was not likely to return, fired several guns for its recall, until at length the night becoming very dark, a light was hoisted at her fore top mast to serve as a guide in case it should attempt to return in the night. This light constantly made us acquainted with the position of the Latona, and an hour after our going through the channel, we still discovered by the frigate's light that she made no movement whatever. We, then, continued our course in beating through the Sombrera passage, under the direction of the channel pilot whom we had taken on board at Basse Terre.
The next day, the eighth, about noon, off Montserrat, we fell in with two brigs of war, on the same tack off our board, throwing out signals to us, and which we discovered to be English. After they had passed us, they put about and followed us; the breeze being weak, and their sailing superior to ours, they kept us in sight the whole night, during which they fired several guns, and discharged several rockets undoubtedly with the view of collecting their forces. With the breeze all the time in their favor. The next day, the ninth, about noon, one of them came up within cannon shot; the captain gave orders to luff, and fire a broad-side which was instantly executed; after which they immediately put about ship and both brigs stood off, and before night we lost sight of them. We kept our course, and the next day, the tenth, having got about 9 miles through the channel, we discovered a sail off our larboard quarter, about six miles distant, and another off our beam about eighteen miles distant, both under our lee and pursuing us. The first was the brig SERPENT, one of the vessels which had been watching us, and which had met in the night the LATONA frigate which had been pursuing us since the morning of the eighth and to which the SERPENT had related the affair of the 8th with us. At ten o'clock, we descried two other sails, in different positions, under our lee. These were the brig Superior, the other of those which were watching us, and the sloop of war Driver; we shortly after discovered a fifth sail to the windward and bearing down upon us, which we quickly discovered to be the frigate Horatio. Captain Rosseau, judging that to avoid an engagement was impossible, gave orders to prepare for action. About a quarter past noon the frigate Horatio commenced the engagement at about pistol-shot distance. Captain Rosseau was mortally wounded at the third broad-side, and Emerie, lieutenant de vaisseau, took the command. A very brisk fire was kept up for about two hours, when the Horatio became crippled in all her masts, whilst we, sir, had only lost our main top-gallant mast; we had then about ninety men disabled, among whom Mr. Hanier, officer of artillery; Fauror, a midshipman of the first class; Recor, midshipman belonging to the Topaze, the master-gunner and boatswain, were very dangerously wounded: Mr. Doulet, lieutenant de vaisseau, less dangerously, and a great number killed, among whom were the principal helms man, and two coasting pilots. In this situation, sir, we were obliged to abandon the Horatio in order to escape the Latona, which was visibly gaining upon us. Mr. Emerie ordered the rigging to be repaired as soon as possible in the interval between this engagement
and that we were compelled to endure with the Latona; the brig Superior every now and then, tacked across our stern, and fired a broad-side on us; two stern-chasers were brought to bear to keep her off. Nothing discouraged the brave crew of the Juno; neither the injuries she had already sustained, nor the superior force which was brought against her; and the engagement with the Latona commenced in about half an hour after the other had terminated with the Horatio. The same zeal and ardor as in the first was displayed in the last engagement which lasted about three quarters of an hour when our three masts fell together; we had lost then, sir, about thirty men more: five pieces were dismounted in our batteries; 15 or 16 balls between wind and water, and a great number between decks, and on fire under the bowsprit. This was our situation when we struck our colors. The nature of my duty on board does not permit to say more: but I cannot recollect, without the most lively emotions, the courage of this brave crew so bravely commanded, who unceasingly cried out that the flag should not be struck, but that it should still fly, and unceasingly testified the most lively attachment to his majesty by the reiterated cries of "Long live the Emperor."

DECLARATION OF WAR
By Francis I. Emperor of Austria. AND ADDRESS TO THE ARCHDUKE.
VIENNA, April 12.
Before his Imperial majesty left this capital, he was pleased to issue the following
PROCLAMATION.
Francis I. by the grace of God, Emperor of Austria, &c.
PEOPLE OF AUSTRIA!
I leave my capital to join the brave defenders of the country, assembled on the frontiers for the protection of the state.
For these three years past I have made the utmost exertions to procure you, my beloved subjects, the blessings of a permanent peace. No sacrifice, any ways consistent with your welfare and with the independence of the state, however painful, have I spared to secure your tranquility and welfare by a friendly understanding with the emperor of the French.
But all my endeavors proved fruitless. The Austrian monarchy was also to submit to the boundless ambition of the emperor Napoleon; and in the same manner he strives to subdue Spain, insults the sacred head of the church, appropriates to himself the provinces of Italy, and parcels out the German dominions. Austria was to do homage to the great empire, the formation of which he has loudly announced.
I have adopted all necessary measures to assert the independence of the state. Not only have ye answered my call, but your love for your native country has prompted you to anticipate it. Accept my cordial thanks; they will be repeated by my posterity and yours. Self defence, not invasion, was our aim. But the conqueror will not allow the sovereign of his people, strong in their mutual confidence, to possess sufficient means to oppose his ambitious views. He declared himself hostile to Austria, unless she should relinquish her measures of defence, and prostrate herself disarmed at his feet. The disgraceful proposal was rejected, and now his hosts are advancing against us, arrayed for battle.
I confide in God—in the valor of my armies, in the heroic conduct of my brother, who leads them on to glory, in you my beloved people: our exertions for this war are great; but such they must be in order to attain more securely the important end of self-preservation.
What you have hitherto done is the most unquestionable pledge of the powerful assistance which I am to receive from you. They who bear no arms will also share in the protection of the country. Unanimity, order, obedience, activity, and confidence constitute the real strength of a nation. You have evinced them, and to this alone it is owing, that we start with a fairer prospect of success than we ever did. Fortunate events will not unnerve your energy, nor disastrous occurrences, should any happen, shake your firm resolve. Perseverant valor overcomes all dangers, enhances every advantage, and supplies all losses. Our cause is just; Providence does not forsake those who do not forsake themselves.
I depend on your love, your tried fidelity to your prince and country. Depend on the paternal solicitude of your monarch, who finds all his happiness in you.
FRANCIS.
Vienna, April 9, 1809.
The Archduke Charles has issued the following
ADDRESS TO THE GERMAN NATION.
His majesty the emperor of Austria is forced to take up arms, because the French emperor will not tolerate the existence of a state which does not acknowledge his supremacy of power, nor stoop to become subservient to his views of conquest; because he requires that Austria shall renounce her independence, unbend her energies, and surrender at the conqueror's discretion; because the armies of the emperor of France, and of his dependent allies, advance against Austria with hostile views.
The forces of Austria have risen for self defence and self-preservation at the nod of their monarch; I am leading them on against the enemy, to prevent the certain attack he prepared against us.
We pass the frontiers not as conquerors: not as enemies of Germany: not to destroy German institutions, customs and manners, and impose foreign ones; not to appropriate to ourselves the property of Germany, or to sacrifice her children in distant wars, carried on to subjugate foreign nations. No; we fight to assert the independence of the Austrian monarchy, and to restore, to Germany the independence and national honors which are due to her.
The same pretensions which now threaten us have already proved fatal to Germany. Our assistance is her last effort to be saved. Our cause is that of Germany. United with Austria, Germany was independent and happy: it is only through the assistance of Austria that Germany can receive happiness and independence.
Germans! Consider your destruction.—Accept the aid we offer, and co-operate with us for your salvation. We demand from you no exertions, but such as the war for our common cause requires. Your property and your domestic peace are secured by the discipline of our troops. The Austrian armies will not oppress nor rob you; they respect you as brethren, chosen to fight jointly with us, for your cause and ours.—Be worthy of our respect; such Germans only as forget themselves are our enemies.
Depend on my word, which I have more than once pledged, and redeemed to save you! Depend on the word of my emperor and brother, which has never been violated.
CHARLES, Generalissimo.

PROCLAMATION, BY DAVOUST,
To the Army of the Rhine.
HELLAU, May 12.
"SOLDIERS,
HIS majesty the emperor of Austria commenced hostilities on the 8th instant.—This was announced by his general in chief on the 9th. They have taken up arms.—The orders of the day delivered to the Austrian armies are merely the effusions of scurrility. This is not the way to attack the soldiers of the emperor Napoleon. They
threaten loudly to overwhelm us with defeat and disgrace upon the plains of Ulm and Marengo. Your conduct will show what right they have to make use of the threats. Soldiers, our beloved sovereign when he was first consul, offered peace, the emperor of Austria refused it—Marengo compelled him to accept of terms. The English broke the treaty of Amiens. Our sovereign had collected his armies on the French coast, and the emperor of Austria availed himself of that juncture, and without any previous declaration of war, violated the territory of our allies, and threatened our Ulm compelled the enemy of our sovereign again to make peace. In the present instance the emperor of Austria has threatened the territory of our allies, without the least appearance of any difference between the two powers, and conceiving himself in a situation to undertake hostilities has actually commenced war. The directors of the Austrian cabinet has a very great interest in the result of their libelous scurrilities. Woe be those who may dare to disseminate them, and by these means excite disturbance; the prompt execution of military law will be the inevitable consequence.
Soldiers.—In spite of those libelous reproaches, Germany has done honor to your discipline and good conduct. You do not make war against the inhabitants; those unfortunate sacrifices to the views of the house of Austria, whose ambition has stained so many pages of history with blood and whose arrogance has again excited such agitations among the nations.
A soldier of Napoleon must not only be free from censure, but without fear. If there are any of a contrary character in our ranks, and who shall so far transgress against the fundamentals of all discipline as to dishonor his cloth by plunder or disobedience, punishment shall speedily follow.
The results of this war are certain. We shall be supported by the emperor Alexander, who is faithful to his engagements in peace or war. With his armies, whom you highly respect; with the confederated sovereigns whose wish is that we should avenge their cause, and secure them in future against the ambition of our eternal enemy; and lastly, through the justice of our cause, victory must be ours. Your courage, and the genius of your sovereign when you see him in the midst of you, will be the most infallible assurance of your triumph.
The Marshal Duke of Auerstadt.

LERIDA, March 20.
The enemy who are on our frontier on the side of Arragon to the number of 4000 men and have their head-quarters at Fraga which is distant 7 leagues from this place and their advanced posts distance 1 league have summoned it to surrender by the following letter from the French general to our governor.
FRAGA, March 16, 1809.
GOVERNOR,
His excellency the marshal duke Montebello, wishing to avoid an useless effusion of blood and to avert from the city of Lerida a lot similar to that experienced by the inhabitants of Saragossa, directs me to write to invite you to deliver to the French troops the town and forts of Lerida offering as well to yourself as to your troops the most honorable capitulation. The capture of Saragossa has placed at the disposal of his excellency such resources, both troops and artillery, that it is impossible for you to make an effectual resistance: not accept the proposals which I have the honor to make to you, would be to cause the destruction of Lerida and the misery of its inhabitants. I therefore invite you, sir, seriously to reflect upon the consequences of a resistance, and to let me know your determination that I may regulate my conduct. Accept, sir, the assurance of my consideration with which I have the honor to salute you. The general of division, commanding the French troops.
The Count de Gazan.
Reply of the governor of Lerida.
LERIDA, 16th March.
To the count de Gazan, commanding French troops at Fraga. In answer to your polite letter which you were pleased to write to me of this date, I cannot do less than reply, that the governor of Lerida, its governor and inhabitants are animated by those sentiments of honor which characterize both soldiers and citizens resolve to defend their most just cause, and if Saragossa without walls could resist for two months to the great loss of the besiegers; less resistance is not expected from a city surrounded

impenetrable fortresses and provided with every thing necessary for defence. Accept, Sir, the assurances of the esteem with which I am your most obedient servant. JOSEF CASIMIRO DE LAVALLE, Governor of Lerida.
When the Count de Gazin sent the summons, he was ignorant of the defeats which French troops in former times had experienced before the walls of Lerida, in whose plains are buried thousands of soldiers, whose lives became the forfeit of their temerity. The Prince of Conde, who experienced the valor of its inhabitants, precipitately abandoned his enterprize, and missed the siege of that strong place, in ancient days considered of great importance by the Romans, whose troops there found dishonor, defeat and a grave. The inhabitants of Lerida, un intimidated by the measures of the Duke of Montebello, remember the bravery and intrepidity of their ancestors, and will shew to the enemy by their deeds, whenever they shall be attacked, that they are the same who in other times conquered hostile legions, and that they have not degenerated in courage from their forefathers.

Extract of a letter from Amercantilehouse in London, to a merchant in this town, received by the Pacific.
The orders in council of the 26th April, 1809, after a recital of the order in council of the 11th November, 1807, and a reference made to the subsequent orders of the 25th of November and 18th December, 1807, and the 13th March 1808, revokes and annuls the said several orders, except as therein after excepted. It then proceeds to order, that all the ports and places under the governments of Holland and France, together with the colonies, plantations and settlements in the possession of these governments, & the ports of Italy, north of Orbitello & Pesaro, shall continue and be subject to the same restrictions in point of trade & navigation, without any exception, as if the same were actually blockaded by his majesty's naval forces in the most strict and rigorous manner, and that any vessel trading from and to the said countries or colonies, plantations or settlements, together with all goods and merchandise on board, shall be condemned as prize to the captors. The boundary of Holland includes the river Ems.
It is further ordered, that if any vessel shall be captured after the day of the date of the order in a voyage prohibited by the former orders, but which prohibition is by the present order revoked, such ship shall be released. And it is further ordered, that no vessel shall be liable to capture for being in a voyage not prohibited by the former orders, but which is not permitted by the provisions of this order, unless such vessel shall have received actual notice of the present order, or until after the same interval allowed for constructive notice, in the orders of the 25th of November, 1807, and 18th of May, 1808.
It is proposed under the new consolidation act, that all cotton wool, not being the growth or production of British colonies, shall be subject to a duty of £1 15s. 6d. per 100lbs. and 12s. 6d. temporary or war duty, if not imported in a British ship; but until the passing of this act, it is intended that cotton wool, being the growth or produce of the United States, shall, when imported in American ships, navigated according to law, be subject to the same duties, whether such importations shall be made directly or indirectly from the place of its growth.
N. B. Sea-letter ships are not entitled to this character by our revenue laws, although admitted as legal in the courts of admiralty. With respect to explanations entered into respecting the extent of protection, which may be deemed expedient to afford at the present juncture, to the commercial intercourse with the United States, their lordships will be very ready to give any further information which any of the American merchants may wish to obtain.
The colonial trade is not to be on the same footing as before the late orders in council, of the 11th November, 1807.
The above is the construction of the order in council of the 26th April, 1809, as given by the lords of council, to Mr. Tho's Pitt, and our house, in writing, after several verbal communications before orders published.
I am, Sir, your most obedient, humble servant.
S. It is not yet finally settled, but our opinion is that colonial produce imported into the United States before the embargo, permitted to be shipped for a market in Europe, not under blockade.

Mr. Nelson from the committee to whom it was referred, reported the bill from the Senate without amendment, to suspend the recruiting service. Referred to the committee of the whole house, to whom was referred the subject of the military establishment of the U. S.
Several petitions from manufacturers of salt in Massachusetts, were presented, praying the duties on salt to be revived. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Gardenier got leave of absence for the remainder of the session.
Mr. J. Montgomery from the committee to whom was reported a resolution to enquire whether any, and what compensation ought to be made to major Pike, and his companions, reported a bill authorising land warrants to be issued for acres, in their favor, and to receive double pay for their services. Read once, and on motion that it be read a second time, it was lost,—ayes 42, nays 57.
A report was read from the attorney-general on the subject of the disputed Batteur — as the facts were not authenticated and the law in relation to it at variance he could not consistently give a positive opinion on its merits, and recommended the dispute to be adjusted by a board of commissioners, when all the evidence in point would be brought before them, or else authorising an appeal from the territorial court of Orleans to the supreme court of the United States. Referred to a select committee of 5, to report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Newton, from the committee of commerce and manufactures reported a bill authorising the erection of two light houses on Plumb Island in Massachusetts. Referred to a committee of the whole house on Wednesday.
A message from the senate, notifying, that they had passed a bill for carrying into effect a treaty with certain Indians; also a resolution authorising the president of the senate and speaker of the house of representatives to adjourn both houses of Congress for the present session on the 20th instant.
A petition of the inhabitants of Washington county, Mississippi territory, was read, praying a division of that territory—laid on the table.

Mr. Bibb called up the resolution received from the senate for adjourning present session on the 20th instant.
Mr. J. G. Jackson moved that the consideration of the resolution be postponed till Thursday next. Carried.
[Likely that the subject of the late dispatches may transpire before a resolution of speedy adjournment.]
Mr. Cutts, from the committee on that part of the president's message as relates to the naval establishment, reported a bill, authorising the president, in case of a favorable result of our negotiations, to lay up in ordinary such of the frigates as he may deem necessary; and repealing the clause of last session, stationing the frigates off the coast. Referred to a committee of the whole house to-morrow.
Mr. Cutts, from the same committee to whom was referred a resolution of the 6th inst. instructing them to enquire into the expediency of selling any part of the public armed vessels and gun boats, reported, that it is not expedient, at this time to dispose of them.
The house then went into a committee of the whole on report of the contested election of Wm. Baylies, Mr. Pikin in the chair. [The report concluded recommending a postponement of the decision, and the question, was whether this report be accepted.]
From the New-York Gazette of June 9.
In the house of peers, on the 4th ultimo, Lord SELKIRK rose pursuant to notice, and after some remarks, moved an humble address to his majesty, praying that he would be pleased to direct, that in the negotiation now pending with AMERICA, the character of the affair between the frigates Leopard and Chesapeake in 1807, should be ascertained, the causes that led to it, and of the consequences with which it may be attended. It was objected to on the ground that it was improper to agitate this question at a time when negotiations were going on.-----
After a short reply by the mover, the question was put and negatived without a division.
It appears by the modification of the orders in council, which are given in this day's Gazette, that the United States may trade without interruption from British cruizers, with all the ports of Russia, Norway, and Sweden, in the northern ocean; with the whole circuit of the Baltic sea; with the British isles; with Spain from the eastern extremity of Austurias to the southern bank of the Lobregat; Italian and French ports excepted, with every harbor of the Mediterranean, from the Straits of Gibraltar to the sea of Marmora.
A London paper [the Times] observes "the news orders of council are, it will be seen, precisely in effect such as we stated them to be in our paper of Saturday; and we see no reason to alter the observations which we therein made upon them. We rejoice greatly that the American merchants in this country are satisfied with their tenor, because, should the government of America still continue to express discontent with our concessions and persist in maintaining the non-intercourse bill, it must then, we conceive, expose itself to the disapprobation of its own friends. We are unwilling, however, to believe that this will be the case. In fact, the very last order of council can, on due consideration, only be regarded as a permanent measure upon this one supposition, that France does not chuse to forego her commercial edicts; and, even if so, what does it affect? Why, it certainly blockades the ports of Holland, to which the Americans would, if they could, gain entrance, by asserting the strange doctrine that Holland is an independent power; but as to the coast of France, it places no more obstructive barrier between it and America, than America does herself by her own non-intercourse bill.
"But we are more disposed to consider the measure as a temporary one, applicable to a transient, than productive of a final state of things. France, on the relaxation of our late orders, may, perhaps, be inclined to relinquish her decrees; and hereupon the non-intercourse bill ceasing in its operation upon France, the maintenance of so extensive a system of blockade as that promulgated by the existing order of council, may be deemed too great an assumption on the part of Britain; and would we should think, be modified, and confined to those ports only which we really were blockading; and thus the maritime view of Europe will revert to its old channel."
LONDON, May 4.
The Pulteney Cutter, which arrived at Weymouth on Tuesday, from Guernsey, brought intelligence that the French were evacuating Spain. It is not improbable that the part of the French army now in Spain may be withdrawn; but the idea of the complete evacuation of the country is evidently absurd.
Lord William Bentick is appointed to go out with a special commission, to be with the archduke Charles at the Austrian armies.

The last accounts from the river Plata were brought by the Windsor Packet, which left Rio Janeiro on the first of March. They confirm the intelligence which we gave a few days ago, respecting the disputes between Liniers and the Cabilda, and the villainous conduct of the former, in having entrapped and sent to sea, some of the members of that body. It appears that there are three parties at Buenos Ayres; one in the interest of Liniers, or, rather France; another devoted to Ferdinand VII. and a third attached to the Cabilda. Though the adherents of France are active and resolute, it was supposed that that they would be soon overthrown. The governor and people of Monte Viedo had opposed the pretensions of Liniers, and the latter was preparing for an attack upon that place. Liniers had prohibited the admission of British goods, and had seized two cargoes, on board two Portuguese vessels.

Doctor I. J. Ceamyn,
A professional DENTIST of Baltimore , RESPECTFULLY acquaints the LADIES and GENTLEMEN of Alexandria , that he intends to practice in this place for a few days, in all the various branches of his profession. No genteel person of either sex, can give or receive pleasure or comfort, by teeth coated with tartar or decayed gums, or fetid breath. His method of cleaning the teeth will be found both easy and efficacious, as hundreds can attest in Baltimore and elsewhere. Without giving pain, or hurting the enamel, he removes the tartar, &c. when the teeth will assume a beautiful appearance the gums adhering to the teeth; but if the state of the gums require it, doctor C. will give to the patient an antiscorbutic lotion of chemical preparation, which gained the applause of hundreds both in Europe and America . It is pleasant, innocent, and effectual, in smoothing and whitening the teeth and curing the gums, rendering them red and firm, preventing the decay of the teeth and sweetening the breath. Doct. C. fits artificial teeth from one to an entire set, with such nicety, to answer the useful purposes of nature, and of so natural an appearance that it is impossible to distinguish them from real ones. Dr. C. flatters himself from his being regularly bred to the practice of physick, as well as to the Dentist Business, and his long experience on the continent of Europe ( France and Spain ) to give to all those who favour him with their commands, every possible satisfaction.

USEFUL PROPERTIES OF YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
THIS highly useful Machine is found by experience to excel any hitherto in use. It will wash as many cloaths (by the assistance of one person) in an hour as can be washed in a whole day, without the possibility of injuring, fretting or tearing the most delicate article, and with less than half the quantity of soap. It occupies very little more space than the common wash-tub, and with the least care will not create any slop or wet—the construction is very simple and attended with little expence. A further description of its qualities is now deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed none will purchase without examining it.
We the subscribers do hereby certify that we have found, on trial, the above named Machine to answer fully the above description. Given under our hands this 5th day of May, A. D. 1809.

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, FOR COUGHS.
THE increasing reputation of Hamilton's Elixir (which during the last nine years has become celebrated throughout the U. States,) warrants the assertion that it is the best remedy now in use for colds, obstinate coughs, asthmas and approaching consumptions. Experience has taught thousands, that the common opiates and balsamics, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs, in the most distressing symptoms, that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system increase the difficulty of breathing and excite fever. But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects.
A single trial will prove that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs sheathes the acrimonious liquor which irritates them and finally discharges it. Thus striking at the root of the disorder the symptoms are effectually and permanently conquered, the reversion of common medicine which weakens the constitution and gives strength to the disorder, or the sake of moderating for the present some of its painful effects.
To parents who have children afflicted with the hooping cough, this discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Select Recommendations.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1806.
Mrs. H. Lee, widow of Richard Lee, jr.
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, but 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 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, junior, No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia.
Mr. Charles Myers, Hamstead-Hill, near Baltimore, had been a long time dangerously indisposed, and was reduced to the lowest state of weakness, inasmuch that his recovery appeared extremely doubtful. His complaints which seemed to be affections of the breast and lungs, and general debility occasioned thereby, yielded little, but rather progressed under the treatment of several eminent physicians; when by the use of Hamilton's Elixir, his distressing cough was immediately alleviated, and every other symptom perfectly subdued. Four or five bottles entirely removed his complaints and restored him to an excellent state of health and strength, which he has for upwards of a year past, enjoyed without interruption.
From Luther Martin, esq. late attorney general 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 coughs, colds, 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.
