Doctor J. L. Cope, 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 person 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, as 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. May 13. N. B. Doctor C. will wait on any lady or gentleman at their respective houses, or may be consulted at the City Tavern.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, May 26.
DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for approving the late conduct of the president of the U. States.
MR. RANDOLPH said that as an indefinite postponement was considered as tantamount to a rejection—for it prevents a renewal of the subject during the session, and a rejection does nothing more, as the house had heretofore had a woful experience in the case of certain very pertinacious petitioners; and, as he was afraid, they would again have from a certain body of petitioners who, he presumed, had not entirely given up their hopes of quartering themselves on the public property—an indefinite postponement then being equivalent to a rejection, he certainly was opposed to the rejection of his own motion. He could not have believed that this motion would have been rejected by the house; though he said he had certainly calculated on its being opposed by those who condemned the promptitude and frankness with which the president had proceeded to restore, as far as depended on him, the intercourse between the two nations. It is this part of the conduct of the president of the United States (said Mr. R.) on which I mean to give an opinion—"By the president of the United States a proclamation"—and in that proclamation, in my opinion, he has deserved well of his country. I ask the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Findley) if he is near enough to hear me in this vast room, when I have proposed bringing in review the whole measures of former administrations—when I have proposed an answer to an address of the two houses? I have proposed no such thing, sir—although my motion is nearly tantamount to it; because it so happens that the only act of which we have any knowledge, except the laying up the gun-boats in dry dock, which I also most cordially approve, is this very thing. Now, I have not the slightest objection, if the gentleman chooses, that the hon. and worthy gentleman from Massachusetts should insist on a venire on the conduct of any former president of the U. States—but I beg myself to be excused from serving on it. As an unqualified juror I chuse to except to myself; for, really, as to one of those presidents, his career does not seem yet to be finished; it would seem as if he had meditated another batch of midnight judges and another midnight retreat from the capitol. I do therefore except to myself as a juror as to him or any other president. De mortuis nil nisi bonum —agreed, sir. Let the good that men do live after them and the evil be interred in their graves. But I would ask the gentleman from Connecticut and the gentleman from Pennsylvania also, if this be one of their abstract propositions? How abstract, I pray you! Or if it be one of those unmeaning propositions, the discussion of which can answer no good to this house? It would be idle in us now to be trying Mr. Adams on the merits of the sedition law, the 8 per cent. loans, or any other such act; it would answer no purpose—and it would be equally idle and futile to pass any opinion on the merits or demerits of the first four or the last four years of the late administration, for this plain reason—the question bolts upon you— cui bono ? What earthly good can result from it? But is that the case in relation to the executive on whose future dispositions rest the best interests of this nation? Is that a mere idle discussion? And is it come to this? Is this house to sink in the executive opinion? I trust not, sir: I scout the idea—that its approbation of a great course of national policy is to pass for nothing, is to have no influence on the conduct of the executive of the U. States? This, sir, is taking higher doctrine than was ever advanced by those who wished to see the president open Parliament by a speech from the throne, and to see the faithful commons return a loyal and humble address in reply to the gracious speech from the throne. It is taking higher ground than the minister of that country from which the precedent is derived. The weight of the house of commons is felt too sensibly there for their resolutions not to be sounded by motions in their chancellor of the exchequer and
their members of opposition in relation to the great course of foreign affairs. And, sir, shall we now be told that it is a mere matter of moon-shine—a thing of no moment, whether this house really does approve the conduct of the administration of the government of the U. S. or disapproved it? Praise, in my opinion, properly and not prodigally bestowed, is one of the best resources of a nation. Why is this house called upon, and I am sorry to say it is, too often, and too lightly, to give its sanction to the conduct of individuals in the public service, if its approbation is estimated so trivially? No, sir; this is a great question which I have presented to you—and gentlemen may hamper it with as many amendments as they please; they cannot keep the question out of sight. Some may be against it because they are for it; some because it does harm, and some because it does no good. The question cannot be kept out of sight; it has been presented to the American people and they have decided it, decide you how you may.
With respect to the gentleman's amendment I need not tell him, I presume, that I shall vote most pointedly against it, because, in my opinion, it does not contain the truth. The gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Bacon) will be among the last of the members of this house to attribute to me an improper sentiment in regard to him when I say that it does not contain the truth. If the gentleman from Massachusetts chuses, in imitation of another eastern nation, (not those who tried their kings after they were entombed, but those who consigned to one common grave the living and the dead)—if he be willing to attach the sound healthy body of the present administration—healthy so far, and I trust fortifying itself against contagion—to the dead corpse of the last, let him. He shall not have my assistance in doing it; nor have I the least desire to draw a marked distinction between the two administrations. the gentleman will hardly suspect that I am seeking favor at court. My object is plain. It is to say to the President that in issuing that proclamation he has acted wisely and we approve of it. I know, sir, that there are men who condemn the conduct of the President in issuing the proclamation—and why? They say he was precipitate; where, as the necessity, they will tell you, of withdrawing the order in council will have been withdrawn? This is the language of objection. There is a difference of opinion subsisting in this country on these two points. There are men who condemn this proclamation, and men who condemn the construction given by the executive to the non-intercourse law. I approve both. I wish the President of the United States to
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania think;—and I think it probable that those two gentlemen do not think of this proclamation and the construction given to the non-intercourse law as I think. And why should we make a sort of hotch-potch of two subjects on which we do not think alike, for the purpose of getting us all united against both? It is an old age and a very homely one, perhaps too much so for the delicate ears of this assembly, that if you put one addled egg into a pudding you may add fresh ones ad infinitum , but you can never sweeten it. And, sir, I defy the gentleman from Massachusetts with all his political cookery, by pouring out of the jar of our present situation into the old mess to sweeten it. I am here prepared to prove, as I conceive that gentleman deny it, that the conduct of two administrations has been radically, essentially and vitally different; that owing to this difference is the change which we now experience in the state of our foreign affairs; that there is no sort of analogy between the offer to suspend the embargo as it respected Great Britain, and the situation in which we put ourselves in relation to France and Great Britain by the suspension of the non-intercourse act towards the latter. And to the promptitude and frankness with which the president met the overtures of the British ministry do we chiefly owe the difference in the situation of the country. For, might not the president of the U. States, instead of proclaiming that the orders in council will have been withdrawn, have proclaimed that when they shall be withdrawn, a renewal of intercourse shall take place? And here too comes the construction given to the non-intercourse act. On the question whether the renewal of intercourse on the 10th day of June applied to a vessel, clearing out hence or to her arrival in England, our government (and I am obliged to them for it) decided that it applied to the time when the vessel should arrive in England. Then, sir, if we take the time which will be required for a voyage hence to Europe, it is luce clarior that the non-intercourse will never have been in force at all as to trade of export. Is that nothing? And, lest the gentleman from Pennsylvania or any other gentleman in this house may get alarmed at my approbation of the administration of the government of the U. S. I will state to them—I do not wish to terrify them out of their opinions—I wish them without reference to persons, as I have judged of the proclamation without reference to the pasties concerned in the manufacture of it—Lest they should be too much alarmed at that approbation, I will state that my idea is that the president of the U. S. has but done his duty; and that the minister of Great Britain has no cause to put on sack cloth and ashes for any concessions which he may have unwarily made to our government. If my strength will hold me out, sir, I will state why.
In the year 1806 we passed that miserable old non-importation act which last session we repealed—and really, sir, we got rid of it with an adroitness which pleased me exceedingly. Never was an obnoxious measure more handsomely smothered by its avowed friends. Gentlemen said it was merged in the non-intercourse act, and therefore as a matter of indifference they would repeal it; and when the non-intercourse act shall expire by its own limitation at the end of this session or be suspended by the president's proclamation, as it is in relation to Great Britain, there is an end of both; and thus the old measure, the old original sin to which we owed our first difficulties, was as much gotten rid of as if a majority of this house had declared it an unwise measure and therefore repealed it. I do recollect to have heard one gentleman (Mr. Eppes) say that unless the section repealing this law were stricken out he should be compelled to vote against the non-intercourse bill. He conjured the house to cling to the old non-importation act as the last vestige and symbol of resistance to British oppression—but the house was deaf to his call, and the non-importation act was plunged beneath the wave, never (I trust) to rise again. When, therefore, the late president of the U. S. made an offer to G. Britain to suspend the embargo as to her, provided she would withdraw her orders in council, I will suppose that she had accepted that offer. In what situation would she have stood in relation to the U. States? Her fine cloths, her leather, her watches, her this and her that would have been prohibited admittance into this country under the old non-importation act of 1806, which would have been in force. That act in point of fact had no operation on her adversary. Her ships would have been prohibited the use of our waters whilst the ships of war of her enemy were admitted. Did that make no difference? That, sir, would have been the situation of the two countries, provided
she had accepted the offer to suspend the embargo as to herself—the old non-importation act in operation, her ships of war excluded and her rivals admitted. I pray you, was not that the condition of the country when Mr. Rose arrived? Was there not some difficulty, under the proclamation, in the admission of the Statira frigate, bearing that minister, into our waters? And were not French ships of war then, and have they not since been riding quietly at Annapolis, Norfolk and elsewhere? Has not in fact the gallant captain Decatur taken our own seamen out of one of them? And yet sir the offer at that time made by us has been identified with the negotiation between Mr. Secretary Smith and Mr. Erskine. What then was her situation? The non-importation act in force, her ships excluded and those of France admitted—and nothing in force in relation to France except the embargo. What is now the situation of affairs? Trade with her is restored to the same situation in point of fact, in which it stood when Congress met here in 1805—6—at the memorable first session of the ninth Congress which generated the old non-importation act of 1806: He ships of war are admitted into our waters, her trade is freed from embarrassment, while the ships of her adversary are excluded, and the trade between her and her adversary forbidden by law. While, therefore, I am ready and willing to approve the conduct of the present administration, it is not because I conceive that they have effected any thing so very difficult, that they have obtained any such mighty concession but because they have done their duty. Yes sir; we all recollect the objections made to the treaty negotiated by colonel Monroe and Mr. Pinkney on two great leading accounts—1st. that it contained no express provision against the impressment of seamen. Is there any provision now made? No sir. The next objection to the treaty was the note attached to by lords Holland and Auckland. What, sir, did gentlemen on this floor say were the purport of this note? That its object was to put us in a state of amity in respect to Great Britain at the expence of the risk of collision with France. On account of this note the treaty and treaty-makers have been politically damned. And yet we are now, in point of fact, in that very situation in relation to the two nations, in which it was said that the British commissioners by the note aimed to place us—and which was a sufficient reason for rejecting the treaty. The note was sort of lieu, gentlemen said, that would put us in a state of hostility with regard to France and amity with regard to England. We refused to give our bond, for such it was represented (however unjustly) to be to be sure, sir—but we have paid the money. We have done the very thing which gentlemen say the note aimed to induce us to do. We have put ourselves in a situation endangering collisions with France and almost ensuring amity with England. We have destroyed the old non-importation act, the non-intercourse act is suspended as to her; trade is again free; there is nothing now to prohibit her ships, whether for commerce or war, from coming into our waters whilst our trade with France is completely cut off, and her ships secluded from our waters. I cannot too often call the attention of the house to this fact on which I am compelled to dwell and to dilate, to get rid of this merciless motion, which kills while it professes to cure. When Mr. Rose came into this country, French ships of war were freely admitted. English ships were excluded.
[Speech to be continued.]
NEW HAVEN, (Con.) May 30. EARTHQUAKE.
On Thursday morning last, (25th) at five minutes before ten, a very sensible shock of an earthquake was felt in this town, and neighborhood. The first notice of its approach was a distant rumbling sound, similar to that of several loaded waggons passing over firmly beaten ground, advancing from the west or northwest for about ten seconds, when the sound was apparently nearest, and at the same instant a severe shock was experienced much resembling one produced by the concussion of two vessels, and for a few seconds after nearly the same giddy motion was experienced. The sound continued about as long after as before the shock, and passed off to the east or southeast. In many houses the glass and other wares were observed to ring with considerable force.
The state of the atmosphere had been somewhat variable during the morning; although for two or more hours the sun had shone bright with a serene sky, and fresh breeze at west. This weather has continued, with little intermission, ever since; except that on Sunday evening we were visited with an unusual severe thunderstorm.

To what distance the earthquake was not yet to be ascertained. We learn that upwards of twenty miles to the west and north, and nearly as far to the eastward, the convulsion was distinctly noticed.
BY THE LAST MAIL.
BOSTON, June 1. Massachusetts Legislature. Agreeably to ancient custom, and the constitution of the state, the general court were yesterday assembled, and the two legislative branches organized for the dispatch of public business. In the Senate, the officers elected were the Hon. Harrison Gray Otis, as President, Nathaniel Coffin, Esq. Secretary. The whole number of votes was 38, of which Mr. Otis had 20—and Mr. Coffin 21, and were pronounced to be elected. Mr. Pope, a federal member, elected from Plymouth county, absent by sickness. Mr. Benjamin Homans was the democratic candidate for Secretary. In the house, the hon. Timothy Bigelow was chosen Speaker, and Nicholas Tillinghast, esq. Clerk. The whole number of votes was 576, of which Mr. Bigelow, had 306 federal votes, and Mr. Tillinghast 309, and were declared to be elected. The following is the statement.
 FOR SPEAKER.  Mr. Bigelow, (fed.) 306  Mr. Morton, (dem.) 269  Mr. Story, 1   FOR CLERK.  Mr. Tillinghast, (fed.) 309  Mr. C. P. Sumner, (dem.) 262  Mr. P. Morton 2  Mr. Bigelow, 1  Mr. Story, 1  Mr. Sumner, 1   576 
The two branches were then joined by the executive and council, and escorted in procession to the Rev. Mr. Emerson's meeting house by the independent cadets, where an animated and highly patriotic discourse was pronounced before them by the Rev. Dr. Osgood. At the close of the religious exercise, the procession returned to the state house, the two branches again assembled, and after appointing a committee to count and report the votes for governor and lieutenant governor, with a request that they would sit in the afternoon. Adjourned until nine o'clock this morning.
The result of our late elections has turned out more favorably than was expected.—Massachusetts may now emphatically be said to stand erect, and to rest the ark of her political safety on the firm basis of the people's choice.
PHILADELPHIA, June 3. There is no truth in the report of an arrival in the Delaware, from Bordeaux, as stated in the Aurora of this morning. A gentleman passenger in the Active, from St. Bartholomews, says, that he was captured on his passage from Bordeaux, which port he left about the 1st May, at which time there was great rejoicing on account of the news of France and Austria having concluded a strict alliance, the latter power giving two of her principal ports as a security for the faithful performance of the compact. This report, (which we are far from believing) probably gave rise to the paragraph in the Aurora.
The U.S. sloop of war Wasp, on Saturday last, was struck by lightning. The mainmast was partly shivered to pieces.—The greater part of the crew felt the shock, but fortunately no lives were lost. She comes up to the city to-day, to be repaired.

Alexandria Daily Gazette. TUESDAY, JUNE 6.
It is with sensations of painful regret that we announce the sudden death of FRANCIS MALBONE , esq. a senator from the state of Rhode-Island. He dropped down yesterday on his way to attend Divine Service at the Capitol and immediately expired. [Nat. Intel.]
The following is an extract of a letter from Christopher Greenup, Esq. late governor of Kentucky, to a gentleman in Washington, dated May 23: "I am happy to inform you that by letters lately received from Kaskaskias, we learn that the alarm of Indian war has subsided."
CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. MONDAY, June 5. [Taken for the Alexandria Gazette.]
Two other members appeared, were qualified and took their seats. A message from the senate, announcing the death of Francis Malbone, and that his funeral will take place this afternoon at five o'clock. On motion of Mr. Potter, Resolved , That the members of this house will attend the funeral of Francis Malbone. Resolved , That the members of this house will wear crape for one month, as a testimony of respect for the memory of the deceased. On motion of Mr. Smilie, the house adjourned, after a session of twenty minutes. The committee appointed to enquire what business was necessary to be done this session have drafted their report, but it was not laid before the house—They state it as their opinion that all may be done by the 20th inst.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of high respectability to a member of Congress, dated St. Louis (L. T.) May 10th, 1809. "The tranquillity of the people in this territory has of late been disturbed from a fear of Indian hostilities. Fort Madison, on the Mississippi and in the Indian country, was threatened to be attacked. Two companies of militia marched to reinforce it, and three more of volunteers have made this place their head-quarters for several days past, waiting marching orders. The general court opened, and adjourned sine die —no business was done. But the danger is happily over; the militia are returning—the volunteers have returned, and the people are returning to their habitations and to their senses. The governor deserves credit for his zeal and exertions to defend the country."
The Melampus and Eurydice British frigates, were cruising off Sandy Hook on Wednesday last. They boarded several vessels which have arrived at New York, and treated them with marked politeness. Our New York correspondent informs us, that these frigates were dispatched on this coast by admiral Warren, to prevent British vessels entering our ports, as they would be subject to seizure under the non-intercourse law. When those orders were given by admiral Warren he had not been advised of the settlement of differences between this country and Great Britain. [Phil. Gaz.]
Extract of a letter from Canton, to the Editor of the Providence Gazette, dated Jan. 9, received by the ship Projector, arrived at New York. "The ship Jenny, captain Dorr, of Boston, is arrived below from the Fejee Islands, and the supercargo came up last evening. The ship is detained below by the British, under pretence of her having traded with the Spaniards. The Jenny brings the disagreeable intelligence that the brig Eliza, capt. Ebenezer Corey, belonging to Messrs. Brown and Ives, is cast away on one of those islands, where two of the men were killed. The brig had on board a considerable sum in specie nearly the whole of which was saved. The Jenny took captain C. and the remainder of his crew to Guam, a Spanish settlement on one of the Ladron Islands, where capt. C. was plundered of his money, &c. under pretence of having, during his voyage, assisted the British." Accompanying a very polite letter from George W. P. Custis, Esq. of Arlington house, Va. we have received three speci-
mens of Wool which we were requested to present to some Agricultural Society in this state. Unhappily, North Carolina has as yet no such institution. To meet, however, as far as we are able what we suppose to be the wishes of Mr. C. we shall present one specimen to gov. Stone, one to gov. Williams, and the other to the Agricultural Society of South Carolina. These specimens are from native Smith's Island sheep, and the improved Arlington breed. Mr. Custis, of Arlington, and Joseph Cooper, of New Jersey, in their peaceful pursuits of Agriculture and domestic improvements, have acquired bays more honorable than the laureled crown.

The New-York American Citizen of Monday last, contains an article from which we have extracted the following: The diplomatic correspondence of our minister at London with the court of St. James, is regularly filed in the department of state, and has always been so from the organization of our government to the present time: the same course has been invariably pursued, in reference to all other nations, including France, with the exception which I shall presently mention. When Congress calls for correspondence with the British government, the call is made on the president, who transmits it to the secretary of state, and he directs the papers called for to be transcribed by the clerks, from the files of his department. I understand this to be and to have been the principle and the practice. There was made however, within the last two years of Mr. Jefferson's administration, as I am told and believe, an exception calculated to excite alarm. It is that a correspondence was maintained with Bonaparte's court, which was NOT filed in the department of state, but in Mr. Jefferson's private desk, and that the miserable pittance of this correspondence, which Mr. Jefferson reluctantly permitted to escape from his lock and key, were selected by himself, copied by himself, and communicated to Congress in his own hand writing. NO CLERK, IT IS ADDED, WAS ALLOWED TO SEE THE ORIGINALS! So great a deviation from constitutional, and, until this singular exception was made by Mr. Jefferson, invariable practice of the department of state, cannot have been without a motive and an object. What these were I will not pretend to say, for of these, as of all things else, the public can judge as well as myself. But coupling the fact if it be a fact, as I am informed and believe, with the noonday partiality of Mr. Jefferson for France, that gross and offensive conduct which every one could see and no one could mistake, we cannot avoid the conclusion, that much of the agitations which for the last two years we have felt, and many of the calamities which we have suffered, are attributable to the foreign propensities of the sage, who happily for this country, has retired to Monticello.

One Hundred Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY, from the subscribers, two Slaves, named BILLY and NELLY.—Billy is a mulatto man, and sometimes calls himself WILLIAM JORDAN AUGUSTUS—his color nearly as light and approaches that of a white man, his hair is straight and he generally wears it platted and turned up behind with a comb—his visage is remarkably thin and his cheek bones high—he has been bro't up in the house and is a very good dining room servant, is about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very straight built, his constitution is not very strong and he is subject to indisposition—he is about 30 years of age.
NELLY is tall and rather inclined towards corpulency, a tawny color and about forty-five years of age.
They went off together as man and wife, but it is very probable Billy will attempt to pass as a white man and will endeavor to sell Nelly as his slave.
The above reward will be paid for the apprehension and securing of the said Slaves, if taken up on the north side of the river Potomac, and information given thereof to their respective proprietors. A reasonable reward will be given taken within the state of Virginia and recharges will be paid if

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, FOR COUGHS.
THE increasing reputation of Hamilton's Elixir (which during the last nine years has become celebrated throughout the United States) warrants the assertion that it is the best remedy now in use for colds, obstinate coughs, asthma 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 reverts 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.
