An Accommodation Stage between Alexandria and Petersburg will also commence running at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sundays, and will travel only in the day time. On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Stafford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericksburg—The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stable, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO,
A LOT OF GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, on the George-Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE OF GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing something less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO,
My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence, (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses, and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice mitch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO,
The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

The following humorous parody on Peter Pindar's epistle to the Reviewers, was written by a sea captain, merely because in these times he has nothing else to do.
THE PETITION OF THE SHELL-FISH, TO BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS. MOST Potent Squires! we know you have great power; And well we know you want as much again: Of honors too, a little drizzling shower You want—yet all are honorable men.
We know, dread Sires, that you are fond of fame; And Gambier's fleet well freighted shall be sent ye; We, too, will help to celebrate your name— —If that won't, what the Devil will content ye?
We never said, in frivolous debate You wasted time, and wasted the nation's treasure, Nor would we to such Solomons dictate; We therefore hope you'll grant our prayer with pleasure.
Your Worships lately passed a wicked Act— Certain some dem— prompted you to do't. Excuse our warmth! because it is a fact, For which some call you rogues and fools to boot.
You said, most sapient Sires, no nasty Tar Should henceforth leave the land, that is, the seed; Unless, perchance, to venture out so far As just to catch a Halibut or Cod.
You said the lazy rogues should kill the bushes, (Of Yazoo farm, or Washita—no matter;) And not squat round the shore, like frogs in rushes, Ready, when hungry, to jump in the water.
Fond as was Randolph once with haughty air, To give you rousing peals enough to stun ye; As cried the damsel to the man of hair, "Awake! get up!—Philistines are upon ye!"
Fond as was Gardener to call for candle When ye were groping, mole like, in the dark; Fondly as Jemmy would the sceptre handle— Or Giles eat leaves and fishes like a shark.
So fond of water are the sailor clan— 'Tis not fresh-water, learned Squires we mean; Not such as Eric, Huron, Michigan— But such as some of you have never seen.
Down come Blue-Jackets, arm'd with rake and hoe; Hungry, they say they are, and must have food: A very potent argument you know; You, every pay-day, think it very good.
The Farmer Clam that digs into the land; The Patriot Oyster that runs not from steel; The vulgar Muscle, fix'd on rock or sand; The slippery, wriggling Politician Eel— The Courtier Crab, that backward knows to climb; The Soldier Lobster with his scarlet coat, Whose very color would, there was a time, Make you all run like Rats and leave your vote.
On these the ragamuffin gang regale: Horrid!—Enough to split your tender souls! But if you don't believe our simple tale, Pray send Commissioners to view the holes.
Your Honors said, at least you meant to say, You will protect all living in the seas, Then let those vile Tarpaudins sail away, Or swim like Porpuses—which way they please.
Permit them Squires, to launch into the main, That they no more with boss and rakes attend us; And if they come upon your coast again, Order a strong North-Wester to befriend us:
That "in distress," they may run in the Havana— No other port so good, or half so near; Charleston is barr'd; hid in a swamp Savannah— These Sailors are not Patriots, THAT IS CLEAR.
Encouraged thus beneath your fostering eye, Our progeny we earnestly will tend; And Oysterettes and Clamettes for a pye, A gun boat load to Washington will send.
UNEVALVÆ. BIVALVÆ. New-Bedford, 1808.
From the North American.
No. III.
From the opinions incessantly inculcated through the press, that powerful engine by which governments operate most efficaciously on the minds of the people, I have inferred the spirit of hostility to England and devotion to France, by which our administration is actuated. I am now about to call the attention of my fellow citizens to another circumstance which, to my mind, is not less convincing.
In the United States there will always be men who devote themselves to the President. They utter opinions which they believe to be his, and maintain those propositions which they believe him to advocate. Of these, some are known to be in his confidence, and to derive immediately from himself the ideas which they communicate. From these intermediaries, others are content to receive their instructions, and the assignment of the parts they are respectively to perform. Through this medium, not indeed so extensively as thro' the press, but to a very great extent, does an administration also develop its designs.
Beyond the range of my own observations I pretend not to speak; but within that range, I can confidently aver, that among those devoted to the administration, I have scarcely heard an individual, who did not breathe the most envenomed hate to England. They appear to think this sentiment the test of patriotism, and an unerring proof of merit. Their utmost influence is exerted to render it the common sentiment of the nation. Many, in plain terms, speak
of war as proper, and all use that language which leads to war. My fellow citizens will judge from their own observation, whether this fact exists in the same degree in other circles, as it does in that in which it has been my lot to move. I believe it does exist in the same, or at least in a very great degree. If in this I am correct, does not the fact conclusively demonstrate the temper of the administration? Can it be believed, that those who almost idolize our executive, who applaud all his opinions and all his measures, who dissent in nothing even his caprices, who perceive in him only the purest virtue and the most sublime intelligence, can all differ from him essentially on a subject more interesting than any other to this country, his opinions on which have marked his whole political course?
Although I should not be pardoned the prolixity of an attempt to enumerate the various circumstances which support this allegation, I may be permitted to refer, for its more particular illustration, to two papers which have been highly extolled by the friends of the administration, and which may be safely considered as detailing its sentiments. One is the letter of Mr. John Q. Adams to a senator of Massachusetts—the other is the letter of Mr. Wilson C. Nicholas to his constituents.
To those who are not personally acquainted with these gentlemen, their political characters must be in some measure known. Mr. Adams, the son of the late president, is generally deemed a man of talents and of extensive information. The foul injustice with which his honorable father has been pursued, even in his retirement, and the atrocious calumnies which have been heaped upon that venerable patriot, by those now in power, have not restrained this gentleman from allying himself closely with them, nor from supporting their political system, with a zeal, which not unfrequently outstrips his judgment. Since his conversion, he is understood to possess a considerable portion of executive confidence, and to be intrusted with at least a general knowledge of its views. Indeed, his talents entitle him to a respectable station in any party, and it is not to be presumed that he would rush with so much impetuosity into any system, the object of which he did not comprehend.
Mr. Nicholas is the neighbor of the president, and has been long known to be his intimate and confidential friend. While in the Senate of the United States, no man was supposed to be more certainly in the secrets of the cabinet; and, in the house of representatives, the favor of the executive is not understood to have deserved him.
In the deliberate opinions of these gentlemen, given under their own signature, and prepared for the people of the U. S. we may look for the sentiments of that administration to which they are understood to be devoted, and to defend whose system their letters were written.
It is not my intention to analyze these letters, or to expose to my fellow citizens the fallacies they contain. They are in the possession of all who read, and I refer to them for the sole purpose of marking the inveterate hate of England by which they were dictated, the solicitude which they manifest to hide from the public eye the aggressions of France, and the anxiety they discover to apologize for those aggressions which cannot be concealed.
I appeal to any American who reads those letters, for the truth of the declaration, when I say, that the man who derived his knowledge of facts from them alone, would believe that war with Great Britain had become necessary. He would believe that England was the natural and inveterate enemy of this country; that the destruction of her maritime superiority would be the epoch from which might be dated the commercial liberty and prosperity of the U. S.; that in the invasions made by the belligerents on our neutral rights, she had uniformly taken the lead; and that even the Berlin and Milan decrees, even the seizure of our property, and the absolute control which France claims to exercise over our government, if not rendered entirely inoffensive, were greatly palliated by the superior atrocities of British insolence and injustice.
These opinions lead directly to war. They could never be so strenuously inculcated, by men whose actions usually accorded with their opinions, but for the purpose of leading the public mind to war. And on whom is this war to be made? On the only people of Europe who possess a single remnant of liberty, and on the only nation of the world which arrests the rapid progress of Bonaparte to universal dominion.

BY THE LAST MAILS.
NEW-YORK, August 26.
A most distressing fire commenced about 12 o'clock last night, in Nassau-street opposite the middle Dutch Church. It originated in the house occupied by Mr. Keyes, and destroyed that building, the City School house belonging to the Presbyterian Church, a school-house belonging to Mr. Barry, a private school-house, a pawn shop, and two or three stables; and materially injured the buildings occupied by Mr. Grant Thorburn as seed stores, &c. Several dwelling-houses, fronting on Liberty street, were also considerably injured.
We have the painful task to add, that Mrs. Watkeys, her daughter about eighteen years of age, a black girl of sweet and two black children were consumed. A more melancholy spectacle has not been witnessed in this city, for many years. So rapid did the flames spread over the building in which they originated, that no human efforts could possibly have saved the lives of the sufferers. The room in which Mr. Watkeys slept, was on fire when he was roused by the screams of his wife. Instantly springing forward through the flames and bidding her to follow, he alone escaped the devouring element. They who witnessed the screams of the victims and the exertions of the frantic survivor indeed felt, but language would fail to describe, the awful and distressing scene.
By an arrival last night from St. Croix we learn, that the Spaniards at Porto Rico and the Maine had declared in favor of Ferdinand. All the French at those places were ordered away in 17 days. On the Maine many Frenchmen were massacred.
Letters are received in town via Havana, which state that the Viceroy of Mexico had declared in favor of Ferdinand VII.
The British sloop Industry, Given, 14 days from St. Croix. Left at West-end, brig Alfred, and ship Richard, Ridgway, both for New York, the latter in a week, and the former in a fortnight; and a large British ship loading for Philadelphia, Passenger, captain Culver. Flour was scarce at Porto Rico, but some had been sent from St. Thomas by the British. Flour at St. Croix was 30 dollars and the same price at St. Thomas, but rising in consequence of the quantity shipped off to the Spaniards.
PHILADELPHIA, August 26.
We are indebted to a respectable Mercantile house of this city, for the following interesting details, furnished by captain John W. Cox, of the ship John Jones.
Left Lisbon, on the 17th of June, 1808, at that time there was a report in circulation that a revolution had taken place in Russia, and that the emperor Alexander had been deposed by his people, and his brother Constantine proclaimed emperor. About the latter end of the month of March, Mr. Michael Setarro, was sent by the French General Junot, to the british admiral Sir Charles Cotton, then commanding the blockading squadron off the bar of Lisbon, with proposals to permit provisions to come in; the boat in which Mr. S. went carried the Portuguese flag, with a white flag at the fore, the Admiral's answer was that he was willing to permit a certain quantity of provisions into Portugal, under the following conditions.
 1. That it should be in British bottoms, with flags of truce as colonial produce; also.  2. That they should be allowed to take in return Wines, Fruits, &c.  3. That all British subjects then confined should be set at liberty. 
To the 3. article the French General consented but not to the other two, and in consequence published a decree, and gave orders to all officers commanding the forts and batteries along the coast, to fire on all vessels that appeared off the whole extent of the coast of Portugal, under any pretence whatever, even with a flag of truce, under pain of being tried and broken by a court martial.
In the month of May, Mr. S. was again sent out and remained there three days, but the result of his mission was not known when I left Lisbon. About the middle of May, the Spanish Gen. Belesta who commanded at Porto, marched from thence for Spain, and took with him as prisoners the French gen. Quesnel with all his suite and troops, as also the chief magistrate, Mr. Taboureau, and the people at Porto it is said had appointed a government in the name of the former prince regent and hoisted the Portuguese flag; the greater part of the Spanish troops that entered Portugal with the French, also marched to Spain, but those in Lisbon and its environs were all disarmed on the night of the 10th of June, by the French, and put on board some Portuguese ships of war then in the Tagus under French.

Gen. Junot published the next morning his motives for disarming the Spaniards, in which he says that he was obliged to take those steps, although (very much against his feelings) on account of the infamous behaviour of the Spanish Gen. at Pormo, and to prevent any effusion of blood. In Lisbon there was only about 800 Spaniards, and in the environs about 1200 men, making in the whole 2000 men. There was not more than 5000 French troops in Portugal when I left it, the rest of the army having marched for Spain, and in different parts of the frontiers of Portugal. The French had been attacked by the Spaniards, particularly at Badajos, where they permitted them to enter, and then attacked them, killed a great number and took the remainder prisoners. The Portuguese lieut. gen. Gomez Freire de Andrade who marched with the Portuguese troops for France it is said was at one of the frontier towns of Portugal, at the head of an army of forty thousand Portuguese and Spanish troops; he is a gen. of some experience, having distinguished himself formerly in the Russian service, as also when he was second in command of the Portuguese troops that were sent to assist the Spaniards in the commencement of the French Revolution, where he also distinguished himself as a general.
The French general Junot gave orders that all the property belonging to this general should be immediately confiscated, who is very popular and almost adored by the Portuguese people. The French had fortified the castle of St. George, in Lisbon, and put in bread and water for six months, and it was generally supposed, should they be attacked by the Spaniards by land, and the British by sea, that they would retire to that castle, as it commands the city, which they could easily destroy. Off Lisbon there was a very strong fleet, as also a number of transports with troops on board, but they had not disembarked in any place when I left Lisbon. There are no French troops in the province of Algarve, where the people are all in arms, and that part of Portugal is governed in the name of the Prince Regent and the Portuguese flag flying there, as also in a number of the provinces thro'out Portugal.
Both Spaniards and Portuguese have red ribbons about their arms, as a distinction, they have also seized about 5000 barrels of flour, destined for Lisbon; as also the greater part of the church plate, and upwards of 5000 bags of cotton going from Portugal to France. When I left Portugal there was no great want of provisions, but every thing very dear, and a great deal of poverty; there being no business whatever doing, and should they not shortly receive some supplies of corn, bread must rise considerably in price, although there was a very great prospect of an abundant harvest all over the country. In Lisbon the French are preparing with great activity all the old ships of war the prince left behind him, but not one of them it is said is sea worthy.
The Russian fleet, commanded by Rear Admiral Sevin, consisting of nine ships of the line, one fifty gun vessel and a frigate, still continue in the Tagus; they are also repairing.
The French made an attack on the fort of Castro Marin, in Algarve, on the night of the 2nd of June, but were repulsed with the loss of a number of men killed and taken prisoners, and all over that part of Portugal they have been attacked by the Portuguese and completely routed.
It was likewise reported that the 21st June was the day fixed for all the Portuguese to rise on the French; but I cannot say if they rose in Lisbon, as I was on my journey at that time for Algarve; and all communication was stopped between that part and the south of Portugal, but it was said they had rose there, as also in St. Ubes, Alcacere do Sal, Beja, &c. as also at Mertola, where they took a great quantity of flour intended for Lisbon.
Ship News furnished by captain Cox. A general embargo took place throughout Portugal about the first of May, eight or ten sail of American vessels were detained, the ports of Figuera and Oporto; among which were the ship Gosport, Derkham, Norfolk; brig Wheeler, —, do.; schr. Union, Dickson, Duxbury.
It is supposed that all vessels in Oporto and Figuera effected their escape on the Portuguese flag being hoisted in those places. August 6 in lat. 27, 50, North long. 60, 30 West, spoke the schr. Amphion, who generously supplied us with bread and sundry other articles. August the 19th off the Capes of Delaware, spoke the brig Amazon, from Savannah bound to New York, blowing fresh from N. E.
The cargo of the schooner New York, which vessel was stranded on the coast of Algarve, in Portugal in December last, on a voyage from New York to Messina, was
in store at Villa-Real on the 16th of last June; such part of it as consisted of provisions, had been forcibly taken out of the stores by order, and for the use of the French government, and the remainder of the cargo detained. The supercargo was at Lisbon, endeavoring to obtain payment for the provisions, and also to recover possession of the remainder of the cargo; but had not succeeded as late as the 16th of June, and on the 25th of the same month, the cargo of the same schooner was transported by order of the Spanish government from Villa-Real to Ayamonte, the keys of the stores containing the cargo, were delivered to the supercargoes agent in Ayamonte.
Yesterday arrived at the Lazaretto, ship Ann and Hannah, captain Reymers, in 22 days from Turks Island. He was spoken and overhauled on the 11th inst. by his majesty's ship of war Favorite, capt. Clements, who had left on the day before the Jamaica fleet consisting of 22 sail. Capt. Clements had in detention a large fast sailing brig which was bound from Charleston to Boston without register. Capt. Clements informed that the Spaniards had become allies with the British, and that the Swedes and British had defeated the Russians from Finland—also that the French armies with the nobility had been destroyed by the Spaniards, in consequence of which the British troops had gone to take possession of the Havanna. Same time took from ship Ann & Hannah, two seamen, judging them to be British subjects—On the 10th capt. Reymers spoke, from lat. 26, 51, long. 72, 30, brig Ospray, from New York, out 14 days, bound for Havanna—13th, spoke schr. Belona, bound for Barracoa, out 5 days from New York, lat. 34, 10, long. 72, 20.

MONDAY, AUGUST 29.
On Sunday arrived at Boston, the brig Mercury, capt. Bradford, 52 days from Alicante, and 40 from Gibraltar. The accounts by this arrival are not so important or particular as were to be expected. He brought no papers from the latter place; but reports verbally, that the French were still in possession of Barcelona; though a party of about 1000, who were ordered from that city into the country, were met with by the Spaniards, and entirely cut to pieces; that Dupont's army from Madrid, had been wholly destroyed, with the loss of 7000 Spaniards; that the French consul at Malaga with several French merchants, had been massacred by the populace; that the French were compelled to fly from every part of Spain: that the spirit of resistance to French aggression was universal thro'out the country: and that but one sentiment appeared to prevail among the inhabitants—To live free or perish.
Extract of a letter from a lady in Madrid to her brother in Dublin, dated May 5.
"Words cannot describe the horror with which we have been surrounded since the first of this month; the approaching storm was expected; but on the 2d, immediately after breakfast, it broke out in the most furious manner. Our friend T. had provided a retreat at his country house, about 8 miles distant, to which we were to remove that very evening, but the storm overtook us, and stopped our journey: the thunder of the artillery announced the beginning of the business, and in a few minutes after the whole male population of the city appeared in arms: wherever a French soldier was discovered, he was instantly cut down or shot; six of them were put to death under our windows; the scene was dreadful beyond description; after two or three hours carnage, particularly in our great street called Alcala, a reinforcement of Frenchmen poured into the town, and in their turn became the assailants; our doors were burst open by the defeated populace, and seven or eight of the inhabitants took refuge under the couches and in different parts of the house; but the French soldiers followed them, and in my presence they most unmercifully bayoneted those who first entered the room, where I and my children sat shivering with horror. The presence of a young French officer protected us, and he had the humanity to continue with me in the house the entire of this fatal day, to which I certainly owe the lives of myself and children. All night the inhabitants were forced to illuminate their windows and fifteen dreadful looking fellows took entire possession of the lower part of the house; they soon broke open the cellar, which they plundered, nor could the presence of the friendly officer I have mentioned prevent them. The following morning was indeed a scene of horror. Almost every person that passed through the streets was stained
with blood, and the dead bodies lay in heaps—it was reported, and I believe with some truth, that Murat, the French general, intended to erect some works outside the town, to batter it to the ground, in revenge for the lives of his soldiers. This, however, he abandoned. The next day, when the tumult had a little subsided, T. and I got some articles of plate, and the books of the house, and through the intercession of our French friend, were suffered to remove to his residence at Ombro, where we now are with the children."
The Asturias, in which the patriotic flame has burst forth, consist of two provinces, named after their respective capitals, Asturias D'Oviedo, and Asturias de Santillana. They are about 120 miles in length, and from 20 to 45 in breadth. They are bounded on the north by the ocean, on the west by Galicia, on the south by Old Castile and Leon, and on the east by Biscay. These provinces have always been distinguished for their independence, and their natural strength is great. Surrounded by mountains, they served as a refuge to the Spaniards against the Moors, by whom the Asturians never were subdued.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
Mr. Henry S. Keatinge, having submitted to my perusal a theological work, entitled, " The Holy Bible Explained " to which he intends giving instant publication; I feel it as a duty which I owe to the cause of truth, and the pure principles of the Christian religion, to bear testimony, that in my opinion, it is judiciously and eminently calculated to disseminate the historic facts, and essential doctrines of the old and new testament writings—That it demands the special attention of parents and guardians, and is justly entitled to the sacred regard of a rising generation, who wish to search the scriptures, which are able to make us wise unto salvation.
JOHN GLENDY.
Baltimore, December 18, 1807.
Having examined a work which Mr. Henry S. Keatinge is publishing, entitled, " The Holy Bible Explained ," I am of opinion that it is a correct copy from the English edition, which I have seen; from the perusal of which, I am inclined to believe that it will, according to its design, promote Christian knowledge.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
Of the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 1, Budd-street, Philadelphia
Mrs. H. Lee
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickening of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury of any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltner and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mid yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, Taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common lapse remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN , whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and
will gradually destroy tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton-Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1805. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy , from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint ; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
