Five Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home-spun pantaloon, mixed with blue black and white, and generally wore them without suspenders tied round his waist with a string. Likewise, had on a blue cloth roundabout jacket. I think it probable that he may have changed them. He is apt to be impudent when spoken to and speaks very quick. It is supposed he is at present lurking about the navy yard, though he is frequently in Alexandria. Catharine Dade. December 2.

MUTUAL ASSURANCE SOCIETY. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. THE annual general meeting of the MUTUAL ASSURANCE SOCIETY against fire on buildings of the state of Virginia, will be held, by adjournment, at the Capitol in the city of Richmond, on the second Monday in Dec. next, (being the 11th day of Dec.) SAMUEL GREENHOW, P Agent, M. A. S. Richmond, Nov. 10th, 1809.
P. S. As much inconvenience and unnecessary expence results from the present mode of collecting the contributions of the members; which annually diverts a considerable part of those contributions from the uses for which they were intended—burdens individuals with heavy costs, and greatly delays the collections, to the injury of the credit of the society, the general meeting at their last annual session, applied to the legislature, to authorise a more certain, expeditious, and less expensive mode of collection. Their application was rejected, under an impression, that the members of the society might not approve this act of their proxies. Having been informed, that a similar proposition will be submitted to the consideration of the next general meeting, and believing some amendment in that respect necessary to the prosperity of the institution, I have thought it proper to give this public notice thereof. S. Greenhow, P. A. November 27.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9.
DOCUMENTS, [WHICH ACCOMPANIED THE MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT, OF THE UNITED STATES.
[CONCLUDED.]
[Mr. Smith's letter concluded.]
Under these circumstances we are called upon to ransom the captives,
1st. By acknowledging that a precautionary proclamation, justified by events preceding the outrage, by the outrage itself and by what immediately followed it, was unjustifiable, and that a repeal of it was properly a condition precedent to a reparation for the outrage. And this requisition is repeated, too, after such an acknowledgment had been uniformly asserted by this government to be utterly inadmissible, and, what is particularly remarkable, at a time when the proclamation, as is well understood, was no longer in force. The occasion obviously invited a silent assumption of the existing fact, and this would have excluded the difficulty heretofore found to be insuperable.
2d. By throwing into complete oblivion the conduct of the officer answerable for the murderous transaction, with a knowledge too on our part, that instead of being punished or even brought to trial, he has been honored by his government with a new and more important command.
3d. By admitting a right on the part of Great-Britain to claim a discharge from our service of deserters generally, and particularly of her natural born subjects, without excepting such as had been naturalized in due form under the laws of the U. S.
It has not been explained, whether it was meant, as the universality of the term "deserters" would import, to include American citizens who might have left the British service. But what possible consideration could have induced the British government to expect that the U. S. could admit a principle, that would deprive our naturalized citizens of the legal privileges, which they hold in common with their native fellow-citizens. The British government ought not to have made such a proposition; because it not only, like others naturalizes aliens; but in relation to the United States has even refused to discharge from the British service native citizens of the United States, involuntarily detained. If an American seaman has resided in Great-Britain, or has married therein, or has accepted a bounty in her naval service, his discharge therefrom, on the regular application to the British government, has been invariably refused by its board of admiralty. This I state on the authority of the official reports made to this department. It is, therefore, truly astonishing that, with a knowledge of these facts, such a pretension should have been advanced at all, but above all, that it should have been made a sine qua non to an act of plain justice, already so long delayed. This is the more to be regretted, as the omen does not favor the belief we would willingly cherish, that no predetermination exists in the councils of his Britannic majesty irreconcilable to an amicable arrangement of an affair, which, affecting so deeply the honor of the United States, must precede a general regulation of the mutual interests of the two countries.
After the correspondence with Mr. Jackson was terminated, two notes, of which copies are herewith sent to you, were presented to me in the name and by the hand of Mr. Oakeley, the British secretary of legation.
The first requested a document, having the effect of a special passport of safeguard to Mr. Jackson and his family during their stay in the United States. As the laws of this country allow an unobstructed passage through every part of it, and, with the law of nations, equally in force, protect public ministers and their families in all their privileges, such an application was regarded as somewhat singular. There was no hesitation, however, in furnishing a certificate of his public character, and to be used in any mode he might choose. But what surprised most was the reasons assigned for the application. The insult he alluded to was then, for the first time, brought to the knowledge of this government. It had indeed, been among the rumors of the day,
that some unbecoming scene had taken place at Norfolk or Hampton between some officers belonging to the Africaine & some of the inhabitants, and that it originated in the indiscretion of the former. No attention having been called for, and no enquiries made, the truth of the case is unknown. But it was never supposed that Mr. Jackson himself, who was on board the frigate, had been personally insulted. Nor is it yet perceived in what way he considers it as having happened. It is needless to remark that any representation on the subject would have instantly received every proper attention.
Another ground on which a protection was asked for, is the supposed tendency of the language of our newspapers to excite popular violence on Mr. Jackson's person. Had he been longer and better acquainted with the habits and spirit of the American people, he would probably never have entertained an apprehension of that sort. If he meant to animadvert on the free language of the newspapers, he might justly be reminded that our laws, as those of his country, set bounds to that freedom: that the freedom of British prints, however great with respect to public characters of the United States, has never been a topic of complaint, and that supposing the latitude of the American press to exceed that of Great Britain, the difference is infinitely less in this respect between the two, than between the British press and that of the other nations of Europe.
The second note seems to be essentially intended as a justification of the conduct of Mr. Jackson in that part of his correspondence which has given umbrage. If he intended it as a conciliatory advance he ought not to have preceded it by a demand of passports, nor by the spirit or the manner in which that demand was made. He ought, in fact, if such was his object, to have substituted an explanation in the place of his reply to my premonitory letter. But whether he had one or other, or both of these objects in view, it was necessary for him to have done more than is attempted in this paper.
It was never objected to him that he had stated it as a fact that the three propositions in question had been submitted to me by Mr. Erskine, nor that he stated it, as made known to him by the instructions of Mr. Canning that the instruction to Mr. Erskine containing those three conditions was the only one from which his authority was derived to conclude an arrangement in the matter to which it related. The objection was that a knowledge of this RESTRICTION of authority of Mr. Erskine was imputed to this government, and the repetition of the imputation even after it had been peremptorily disclaimed. This was so gross an attack on the honor and veracity of the government, as to forbid any further communications from him. Care was, nevertheless, taken at the same time to leave the door open for such as might be made thro' any other channel, however little the probability that any satisfactory communications would be received through any channel here.
To the other enclosures I add a printed copy of a paper purporting to be a circular from Mr. Jackson to the British consuls in the United States. This paper speaks for itself. As its contents entirely correspond with the paper last referred to, as they were unnecessary for the ostensible object of the letter, which was to make known Mr. Jackson's change of residence, and as the paper was at once put into circulation, it can only be regarded as a virtual address to the American people of a representation previously addressed to their government—a procedure which cannot fail to be seen in its true light by his sovereign.
The observations, to which so much extent has been given in this letter, with those contained in the correspondence with Mr. Jackson will make you fully acquainted with the conduct and the character he has developed, with the necessity of the step taken in refusing further communications from him, and with the grounds on which the President instructs you to request that he may be immediately recalled. You are particularly instructed at the same time in making these communications to do it in a manner that will leave no doubt of the undiminished desire of the United States to unite in all the means the best calculated to establish the relations of the two countries on the solid foundation of justice, of friendship, and of mutual interest.
With great respect, &c. R. SMITH. Wm. Pinkney, Esq. &c. &c. &c.
Mr. Canning to Mr. Pinkney. FOREIGN OFFICE, May 27, 1809.
SIR, According to the intimation which I gave to you in our last conference, I have
now the honor to enclose to you a copy of the Order in Council which his majesty has directed to be issued for the purpose of preventing as far as possible any inconvenience or detriment to the merchants of the United States, who may have entered into commercial speculations by the faith of the unauthorised engagements of Mr. Erskine previously to the notification in America of his majesty's disavowal of those engagements.
Having had the honor to read to you in extenso the instructions with which Mr. Erskine was furnished, it is not necessary for me to enter into any explanation of those points in which Mr. Erskine has acted, not only in conformity, but in direct contradiction to them.
I forbear equally from troubling you, sir, with any comment on the manner in which Mr. Erskine's communications have been received by the American government, or upon the terms and spirit of Mr. Smith's share of the consideration.
Such observations will be communicated more properly through the minister whom his majesty has directed to proceed to America—not on any special mission (which Mr. Erskine was not authorised to promise except upon conditions not one of which he has obtained) but as the successor of Mr. Erskine whom his majesty has not lost a moment in recalling.
I have the honor to be with great consideration,
Sir, Your most obedient, Humble servant, (Signed) GEORGE CANNING.
[Here follows the order in council of May 24, 1809, as already published in this Gazette.]
Mr. Pinkney's Answer. [GREAT CUMBERLAND PLACE. May 20, 1809.]
SIR, I have received the communication which you did me the honor to address to me on the 27th inst., and will hasten to transmit it to the secretary of state of the U. States.
No instructions or information from my government concerning the transactions in America, to which your communication alludes having yet reached me, I can only express my concern that the conciliatory arrangements concerted and concluded, as you have done me the honor to inform me, between the American secretary of state and his majesty's accredited minister at Washington, acting in consequence and professing to act in pursuance of regular instructions from his court, are not likely to have all that effect which was naturally to have been expected from them.
I have the honor to be, With great consideration, Sir, Your most obedient, Humble servant, WM. PINKNEY.
The right hon. George Canning, &c. &c. &c.
[Here follows the proclamation of the President of the United States, of 9th of August, 1809, and the circular from the Secretary of the Treasury, of the same date, accompanying it.]
General Armstrong to R. Smith, Secretary of State. Paris, 4th Sept. 1809.
SIR, The letter of which I send you a copy, was received during my absence and detained in Paris till my return. The note promised in it has not yet been received.—Mr. Warden informs me, that the council of prizes has been ordered to suspend their proceedings with regard to our vessels.
I have the honor to be, sir, with high consideration, Your most obedient and Very humble servant, JOHN ARMSTRONG.
Count Champagny to General Armstrong. Vienna, 8th August, 1809.
TRANSLATION. SIR, You have desired that one of the American vessels which are in the ports of France might be authorised to depart for the United States with your despatches.—I have taken the orders of his majesty on the subject of this demand, and his majesty always disposed to facilitate your communications with your government, has permitted the departure of the vessel you shall designate. I shall inform the ministers of marine and of the finance, of this disposition, requesting them to ensure the execution of it so soon as you shall have made known to them the name of the vessel and the port from which she is to depart.
Manufactory. I have the honor, sir, to apply to you for an order of his majesty on the actual situation of our relations with the United States—neighboring to profit by the departure of the vessel, by which to make this known to the federal government, and permit me also to send on the conveyance some despatches to my minister plenipotentiary of his majesty (Swann, Prince) the U. S. Accept, sir, the assurances, &c. &c. (Signed) CHAMPAGNY.
His Excellency General Armstrong, &c. &c. &c.
Extract of a letter from Gen. Armstrong to Mr. Smith, Secretary of State.
PARIS, 16th Sept. 1809.
"I received on the 6th inst. on my arrival from Holland, two notes from Count Champagny, copies of which I have the honor to enclose. In one of these you will find an exposition of the principles which have governed, and which will continue to govern the conduct of his majesty with regard to neutral commerce. To this, which was offered as a definitive answer to our propositions, I have believed that any reply, before I had received the further instructions of the president, would have been premature.
"Mr. Lawrence arrived at L'Orient on the 9th and Mr. Haswell at Paris, with your despatch of the 12th August last, on the 13th inst. I immediately communicated to Count Champagny the President's proclamation interdicting anew all commercial intercourse between the U. S. and G. Britain, and gave such other explanations as the case appeared to require."
Extract of a letter from Count Champagny, to General Armstrong, dated Altenburg, August 22, 1809.
TRANSLATION.
"I have the honor to address to you the subjoined note, which his majesty has ordered me to send to you, and which I have announced in my last despatch. If France does not do at this time all that the United States of America can desire, your government will be able to see that neither prejudice nor animosity influences its conduct; that it is the effect of its attachment to principles which the Americans more than any other people, are interested in supporting, and of the necessity of reprisals which circumstances impose. The emperor will consider as an happy event that which shall enable him to contribute to the prosperity of America, in leaving to its commerce all the liberty and all the extension which can render it flourishing."
[Here follows the note of Count Champagny, published in our paper a few days ago.]

Fighting in future is to be no longer decisive argument in the hands of the party. They find that it may be used successfully against themselves. It is high time to prohibit its use.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1809.
[Tun for the Alexandria Gazette.]
A message was received from the secretary of the treasury, covering a statement of the revenue of the United States, and the disbursements from the treasury. This gives a deplorable account of the state of the revenue. The receipts from duties on merchandise imported in the present year will not amount to more than six millions and a half of dollars.
[This paper is of such importance to the country that we shall not attempt a summary of its contents, but we shall give it at large as soon as possible.]
The message and documents were referred to the committee for ways and means, and ordered to be printed.
Several postroad resolutions and petitions referred.
Mr. Merrow from the committee on public lands, reported a bill for extending the time of locating military land warrants. Read twice and referred to a committee of the whole house to-morrow.
Mr. Taylor, after some animated remarks, offered a resolution to the following effect, that a committee be appointed to enquire into the circumstances of the affair alluded to in a letter from I. A. Coles to the Speaker of this house, to collect the facts and report them to the house, with their opinion on the same. On this resolution a debate took place, in which Mr. Eppes, Mr. Stanford, Mr. Macon, the mover, and Mr. Bacon took a part. The resolution was carried, and a committee of seven appointed.
Mr. Scrivener called up his resolution for appointing a standing committee of manufacturers. On the question for consideration only 28 rose in the affirmative; it was therefore lost.
Adjourned.
Gen. Wade Hampton—not dead.—A letter received in Philadelphia from Gen. Hampton himself, dated Columbia, (S. C.) stating that he intended to set off for ... on the 5th Nov. and intended remain ... days at South-West Point on his route.
Chilling prospect.—Between the rigors of a premature winter and a no less frosty atmosphere in the diplomatic region, we have a most chilling prospective. But whatever befalls the NATURAL world, we still entertain some hope that a CONGRESSIONAL thaw may speedily dissolve the POLITICAL frost which has so long unhappily congealed the current of courtesy into an icy non-intercourse. (Am. Daily Advertiser.)
The new embargo.—Some of the "wise men of the East," and some of the Philosophers of the South , have devised a new and very curious method of laying an embargo. They say that it impossible to satisfy the merchants, that the very measures that the government adopts to promote and protect the mercantile interest (meaning no doubt the embargo law and its four supplements, a species of protection to commerce resembling that which the lamb receives when committed to the custody of the wolf) only tend to excite new clamors, and that it is best at once to suffer them to arm and take their chance upon the ocean, the experience of which will soon convince them that it is best to stay at home, and will operate as a voluntary and effectual embargo. Little do these sages know of the enterprise and spirit of the American merchant and mariner!
Every other plan which has been invented to produce war with England having failed, the measure of arming the merchantmen is now to be resorted to, under the idea that it will produce immediate collisions which will terminate in a rupture. It is to be hoped however, that if our vessels go armed upon the ocean, some little opposition will be made to Bonaparte's plundering and burning system of "The freedom of the Seas," even if the ex-president should issue from his retirement every month to sanction the system by a volunteer toast. We do not accuse Mr. Jefferson of wishing to have our vessels burned upon the ocean, but no one can doubt that when he toasts the freedom of the Seas, he glances at Napoleon as its champion. (Freeman's Journal.)
We have been politely favored by capt. Small, with a proclamation issued at the City of Santo Domingo, by the Spanish commander in chief, Don Juan Sanchez Ramirez, governor, intendant, and captain-general, pro tem. of the Spanish part of the island. The proclamation is dated the 19th October, and its principal object is to accelerate the departure of the French. We handed it to a gentleman for translation, who returned it with the following extracts, being all of any interest to the American reader:
Animadverting upon the unwarrantable conduct of France towards Spain, and speaking of determined resistance of the Spanish patriots to French usurpation, the following sentiments occur:
"And it is a matter of great satisfaction to me that I have been able to follow the example of those patriots, by an undertaking which has restored the Spanish part of this island to its former and legitimate owner, the king, our lord, Ferdinand VII."
From this it would appear that the Spaniards are to remain sole masters of that part of the island, and that the English do not claim any right for the assistance afforded the Spaniards in reducing the city.
The 7th article deserves the attention of masters of vessels, as by being ignorant of it, they might subject themselves to a heavy fine and imprisonment. It is couched in the following words:
"Any French individual (of either sex) who shall come into this part of the island, under any pretext whatever, shall be taken up and punished according to circumstances—and the master of any vessel who shall introduce, or be instrumental in the introduction of any such person, shall, if he be a foreigner, suffer fifteen days imprisonment, and pay a fine of five hundred dollars; and if he be a native, he shall be proceeded against according to the merits of the case." (Norfolk Herald.)
[From the London Traveller of the 17th of October.]
POLICY OF FRANCE,
With respect to Neutral Commerce.
We have already given the letter of the French minister, Champagny, to the American minister, gen. Armstrong. This imperial rescript, as we may term it, of Bonaparte, from Altenburgh, on the subject of neutral commerce, contains much of his old maritime law, a little new of the same character with the old, and one or two notorious falsehoods. "France," says he, "admits the principle, that the flag protects the merchandise." Very likely! but does England admit it? Does reason or usage admit it? Usage is, without contradiction, hostile to our enemies; and we shall soon see how far they are borne out by reason, on an examination of the chief of those arguments which are here advanced in support of their cause. "A merchant vessel," they say, "having a clearance from her go-
vernment, ought to be considered as a floating colony." Why she should be so considered, they do not tell us; but we tell them why she should not. The members of a floating colony will declare, by their language, to what nation they belong; whereas the real owners and proprietors of a dead cargo can only be discovered by search and examination of papers. But if a vessel under an American flag should be discovered with troops on board, they might, if they liked, tell us that they were an American colony; yet if we discovered that every man of them spoke French, we should most unequivocally bring them to England; and so we trust we shall continue to treat cargoes, which by their papers, or any other satisfactory documents whatsoever, speak only the language of our enemies.
"The seas," says the rescript, "belong exclusively to no nation; they are the common property of states, the domain of all." True; and it is on this very principle that we claim the right of seizing what belongs to our enemies upon them. We do not seize a French vessel in an American harbor, because it is there protected by its position; it is situated not upon common but upon exclusive property; and the neutral condition of the proprietors gives it protection; but we do seize a French vessel upon the seas, because they are common property, and no one thing has there a right to give it protection. It has no other claim to safety from its enemies than that which it derives from superior power.
"Merchant vessels of an enemy," it is said, "being the property of private individuals ought to be respected." This is new law! We will defy all the SCAVANS of France to point out any period of either ancient or modern history when trading vessels were not considered as legal capture.—The practice of maritime and land warfare admits of no similitude whatever in this respect; nor do warehouses or shops bear the least analogy to mercantile vessels. An enemy respects the former so far as he does respect them, because they are deemed necessary to the sustenance of the perceable inhabitants on the spot; but when a merchant vessel is captured, the captor supports the inhabitants of it himself, and carries away the general property, upon the principle of distressing the nation to which it belongs; and this has always been the practice.
But had we, it seems, possessed the same superiority by land that France does, we should have endeavored to carry the maritime law into that element, and confiscated "houses and churches" we suppose. The falsehood of this hypothetical slander is evident; because, in the case of terrestrial captures, though really affected by the preponderance of our navy, we strictly adhere (nor ever thought of doing otherwise) to the established laws of terrestrial war; and the first article of all capitulations of Islands is, that "private property shall be respected!" We require no more than that France shall shew the same deference to the laws of war established by sea; and this, we trust, we shall make her do.
We come now to the winding-up of the whole affair, which we shall briefly dispatch. "We are to revoke our Orders in Council, and she will annul her decrees." To this we may reply, that her decrees always preceded our Cabinet Orders, and that if she abolishes those, these will expire of themselves. It would be a matter of small consequence, however, which yielded first; but it is of infinite importance to us not to give up more than we have been obliged to seize, nor to retire farther than we have advanced. We shall not surrender one title of the ancient maritime law of Europe along with these new enactments which we have been forced to make by the violence of our enemies. "American vessels may," as the document before us states, "be assured of finding, in the harbors of France, favor and protection;" but they shall not convey French colonial produce thither.
The history of the commercial decrees, and the responsive orders of council in this document, is singular, and has but one objection to it, which is that it is totally untrue, and must be known to be so by every one that knows any thing of the subject. We are said to have declared France in a state of blockade before the Berlin decree, which first uttered that denunciation against us. They might as well have said that we declared France in the moon before the Berlin decree. Our preceding order of council only forbade that coasting neutral trade during the war, which France would not suffer to be carried on during the peace; and then was issued the decree in question, declaring that no vessel that had touched at England should be admitted into France. Our subsequent orders were merely counteractive of this.

Parton's Collection of Voyages and Travels, containing a complete History of the Origin and Progress of Discovery by Sea and Land, from the most authentic Sources.
THE first number of this valuable Work is just come to hand and is ready for inspection at the store of the subscriber, in King-street, and with Mr. Triplett, at the coffee-house.
Fully aware of the impositions that have been practised upon the public by strangers soliciting subscriptions from distant places; the Editors invite their examination of a Work perhaps the most useful, entertaining as well as extensive in its kind that has ever been undertaken in any country. And they flatter themselves that the American will by no means shrink from a comparison with the London edition, the offered at six dollars per Vol. less.
This number may be considered as a fair specimen of the execution of the work, and will be left a short time for examination, before the 2d number is put to press. After this the subscription will be raised to $3 25 each number; and but a few more copies printed than are sufficient to supply the subscribers, that the early patrons of this valuable Work may have a decided advantage—subsequent applications may therefore come too late.
It is also the intention of the Editors to annex to the last number a complete list of the names of the subscribers as the patrons and encouragers of useful knowledge, the arts and literature of the United States.
Subscriptions are received by the subscriber, and no where else in the district.

TO PARENTS.
The annexed cases of cures performed by HAMILTON'S CELEBRATED WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES. (Selected from a very numerous list.)
ARE presented as indubitable proof of the excellence and safety of this valuable specific, for destroying worms in the human stomach and intestines.
From Mr. Benjamin Williams, No. 30, Baltimore street, two doors above south Gay-street.
I have a son six years of age, who for four years past, has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in summer; frequently afflicted with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasted fast, his breath foetid, and almost constant itching at the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore were successively procured. Each of these gentlemen, in his turn, declared worms to be the cause of the child's disorder, and exhausted his skill in attempting to expel them. Pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines, were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours.
I had heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges, but with many others did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moore, auctioneer) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make trial of them; I accordingly gave my son a dose agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them about eight inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worms appeared. The child recovered and now enjoys a good state of health.
BENJAMIN WILLIAMS.
AFFIDAVIT.
Michael Duffy, residing at No. 47, Walkers street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore voluntarily maketh oath that the following statement is just and true:
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls the one five, and the other three years of age were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms. They were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success, which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects. The eldest voided a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch—in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skin and slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though 5 months have nearly elapsed, since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole seemed to be inevitable.

TO H. LEE.
Some time last spring I was afflicted with loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, fever, a great debility, so that I could scarcely walk. In this distressing situation I took man's things, but without benefit. An acquaintance in the country sent to me to procure a box of Hamilton's Lozenges. Curiosity prompted me to read the directions, where I found my complaint exactly described by the doctor. I immediately sent for another box of the Lozenges, and took one dose, which brought away a large quantity of worms, and I felt greatly relieved. Encouraged by this, I took another dose, which was attended with the happiest effects, as it relieved me entirely, and am now in a better state of health than for a considerable time past. The nose, and about the seat—convulsions, epileptic fits, and sometimes a privation of speech—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food and sometimes voracious—purging with slimy and foetid stools—vomiting—large and hard belly—pains, indigestion in the stomach—pains in the head and thigh, with lowness of spirits—slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—a dry cough, excessive thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges , which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Prevention better than Cure.
In cases of head ache, foul stomach, and for removing superfluous bile, perhaps no remedy has been discovered superior to
LEE'S HAHN'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS, Which for 10 years past have been attended with the greatest success. The testimony of many respectable persons in our southern sea ports has been adduced who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy during the prevalence of malignant fevers, has preserved their health after experiencing alarming symptoms of fever.
Certificate of Wm. Devenny.
During the last nine years I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, head ache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my head ache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit I have received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours,
WM. DEVENNY, ITCH CURED.
