FROM A LONDON PAPER.
The reported changes in Spain and Portugal present important considerations to this country at the moment she is negotiating peace with France. If France unites to herself the Spanish provinces immediately adjoining the Pyrenees, as she has done the Italian ones, Piedmont, immediately adjoining the Alps, it will be completely for the purpose of laying Spain open to her and at her mercy, whilst she possesses wholly the grand barrier against Spain, the mountains. Any attack from Spain must be first fought on Spanish ground: that fighting will be a warning to France, and will give her time to put her grand frontier barrier the Pyrenees, in a state of complete defence: thus will she be secured against attack herself, whilst Spain will be open.
This is the plan of France on all sides, as has been amply proved in the instances of Piedmont, Switzerland, Baden, & Wirttemberg, the Rhenish confederation, and Holland; and it will no doubt be carried into effect on the side of Spain, to make the whole complete. France will have departments south and west of the Pyrenees as she has east of the Alps. The king of Spain of what will be left to be called Spain, will be some French general. The present Royal family of Spain are to have Portugal it is said; and probably they will for a time; but it would be idle to suppose that Bonaparte will long permit any member of the Bourbon family to enjoy either rank or power in any corner of Europe within his reach. The royal family of Spain have a right to the crown of France prior to that of the Bonaparte family, and this is sufficient to make the usurper detest them. Can we forget the murder of the duke D'Enghien? Their ruin and extinction is sealed in his breast, and he will effect it in the most cruel way step by step, not with the spirit of a generous vengeance which at once revenges and forgets, but with a slow cunning cruelty, at once the most prudent for an artful villain and the most gratifying to a ferocious tyrant. England may be unable at this time to interfere effectually in behalf of any of the states of Germany or Italy; however deeply we must deplore their fate, it seems as if we can do nothing more than deplore it.
To this alone are the relations of England with them confined; but it is very different with regard to Spain. We may deplore the fate of old Spain as we deplore that of the rest of the continent of Europe, but what are we to do with regard to New Spain; Spanish America is nearly as much within our power as old Spain is within the power of France, and it would be of fifty times more value to us. Peace is negotiating between France and England—Let our ministers contemplate the probability of such a series of events as these;—after peace is made the Spanish monarchy cedes to France its provinces adjoining the Pyrenees; the monarch soon after exchanges his remaining part to one of the Bonapartes for Portugal, of which he becomes king; Spain takes a number of the French troops into pay, and by degrees sends them out to Spanish America; so that in a short time Mexico and Peru, will be occupied by the soldiers of Marengo and Austerlitz in such great numbers, so well established it will be in vain for England to attempt dislodging them. France will then be in possession of the most extensive, rich, and the best situated colonies in the world. To them our West India possessions will fall an easy prey, and they will be so far on their road to the East Indies, that, considering the similarity of climates too, ours in the East will be in great danger of formidable attacks from points, the movements in which we can know nothing of till after the blow has been struck.
In time of peace France will not stoop to receive the produce of the mines of Spanish America in Spanish and Portuguese bottoms. Her own ships will visit Lima and Mexico; the avarice and ambition of her own soldiers and sailors will be fired by the sight of the gold and silver of America, so dazzling and inflaming to the vulgar, and by possessing the great sources of the precious metals, France will be enabled to distress English commerce as much as to attack the English colonies. And all this will be going on whilst the pacific ministry of England will be teaching us to believe that our only chance of salvation is in submission to Bonaparte, in offering incense to his vanity and surrendering up objects of his ambition. We shall be told of the "dilapidated means and resources" to which the Foxites succeeded, and of the impossibility of discovering a new object
of taxation. Spanish America will be represented as an incumbrance. A few months ago the Morning Chronicle represented it as such, and deprecated the idea of attempting to take it. The language of the Foxites is, that we had already too many colonies, and of course, that Bonaparte may take all he can find. Look at their publications of last winter. See in Cobbet and the Chronicle, both equally excrating the commercial interests of this country, and representing that it would be a benefit to society if the plough were to pass over the city of London. Have we forgot Cobbet's triumphant tone when he asserted that Balaam must yield his gold to the iron of Bonaparte? Have we forgot the malignant joy with which the Chronicle announced that "this purse-proud, ignorant generation would soon be humbled?" And can we doubt that the revolutionary reveries of Mr. Windham, which look to an agricultural and rural state of society, rather than to commercial and maritime strength, will be acted upon in preference to that system which alone has made and can continue the existence of the British empire? Might it be right with France. She has no other law; and we must follow the same rule, or become the victims of our silly dreams about equity and justice as other nations have become, and as the late king of France became. We must rise with the difficulties of our situation, not sink under them, whining and snivelling like Mr. Fox. France looks around her, and seizes every thing within her power. We should do the same. This is the only way in which we can keep pace with her, and counterbalance the weight of her enormous acquisitions. It has been well and truly said, by a French poet too, that "the trident of Neptune is the sceptre of the world." This trident never was more firmly in our hands, and we trust we shall continue to hold it, even though Lord Howick is first lord of the admiralty. This trident can give us Spanish America, can give us all the Spanish and Portuguese colonies, and this is the moment in which we should take possession of them. Their conquest is necessary both as a measure of precaution, and as a means of indemnity; of precaution against France, of indemnity, or rather as an equivalent, for her acquisitions. This is the only way left us of counterbalancing her power, and if we neglect the opportunity, it may never again occur. France has hitherto spared Spain and Portugal from no other motive but fear that the moment she marched an army across the Pyrenees, we should seize their colonies. She will endeavour during peace to possess herself of those colonies first, and to seize the mother countries afterwards. This should be warily guarded against at this moment.
FROM THIEBAULT'S ANECDOTES Of Frederick the Great.
The prince,* one evening conceived a fancy to take a view of the different sovereigns of Europe. "We happen, sir, to be alone," said he to me; "no one will hear us; let us abuse all the kings we know!" "With all my heart," replied I, laughing. "Let us take our revenge that we are not kings ourselves!" "We will except Frederick, because we are under his protection, and he is my uncle; because he gives us both our daily bread; and because he is a great man." "By all means; to except him will be both prudent and just; and of this he is really deserving." "We will also except old Amadeus, because he has been a tolerably good king during the greatest part of his reign, constant in the accomplishment of his duties, faithful to the rules of sound political wisdom, and even great on certain occasions at its commencement." "So let it be then; we will pardon Amadeus his disgraceful jealousy of old marshal de Villars in favor of his perseverance in doing all he could. Let us now proceed to some other." "We will say nothing of Maria Theresa, tho' it is not impossible to extract some good anecdotes in her favor from the long residences of Messieurs Van Switen, Metes-tatio and Kawnitz, at her court. But the epocha was so brilliant at the moment of her ascending the throne! She was at that moment so truly great, that no other part of her reign should be considered; on the contrary, it is but equitable to draw a curtain over the rest, and the more so, as she was a woman, and a beautiful woman." "I am glad, as we are to have a curtain at our disposal, to find your highness willing to use it on this occasion, though it is almost a pity, considering the beauty of Maria Theresa." "We will also let alone Catherine the Second, for whom antiquity will furnish us with more than one compa-
* William of Brunswick, nephew to Frederick.
rison that would not be unjust; we will say nothing about her, not only because she has some great qualities, but also because she is so near us, and holds the thunder in her hands." "True enough, I think I even hear it roll; let us get away as fast as may be! We have, however, admitted many exceptions: if we go on at this rate we shall have no scope at all for our abuse." "Never fear: we have done with the exceptions, therefore let us begin—Louis the Fifteenth! Is he not Sardanabalus wallowing in the mire, insensible to shame?"—"You apparently make your portrait consist of but a single feature." "I shall scarcely do more for his old cousin the king of Spain, who, however, does not resemble him in the least. Charles, being king of Naples, had been obliged to sign a treaty of neutrality at the beginning of the seven years war, and this on the requisition of an English commodore, who presented himself before Naples with only four men of war, had the insolence to declare he would bombard the town, if his demands were not complied with in the course of two hours. The king was never able, not even after being seated on the throne of Spain, to forget the affront, and the more easily to obtain revenge, at least in appearance, he took it into his head to consider the English as a nation of cats, and of course all cats as so many English. The consequence of this is, that a great number are on most days brought into his court yard after dinner, which he kills from the window of his apartment; by which means Madrid is threatened with the danger of being left without a cat in all the kingdom, he, on the other hand, procures himself the gratification of saying, I have this day killed so many English. " "I can easily pardon this animosity in the king; it is well founded. As to his mode of revenge, it presents an all-gory that is sufficiently emphatical, and which satisfies him till he can do better; he is at least sincere. In other respects it is acknowledged that he has enriched Spain with many useful establishments, and that the country is more indebted to him than to his predecessor." "And my dear uncle, the king of Sweden (consort to queen Ulrica) who is a truly worthy & kind hearted man, who desires only to do good, but being destitute of both activity and energy, does in reality no more good than harm!" "Ah! Your highness has named a truly good king!" "And my dear uncle, the king of Denmark (father to the present king) who is all day long so thirsty that he has no time for any occupation but that of drinking." "There are greater faults than his, provided he drinks to the health of his subjects." "And my cousin, the king of England, who has his speeches in parliament composed for him, in terms the most concise that can be framed; who has them repeated to him for a whole week together, then causes them to be written in large characters in his hat; who has a prompter behind him when he is to speak them; and who, after all this assistance, is unable to deliver them at last." "His ministers must then be well satisfied, &c." After pursuing this critical examination much farther than I have described, he stopped suddenly as we were pacing the room, and taking me by the arm, he said, "You must, sir, needs confess, that if God has anything to do with human affairs he must care but little for our interests, since he appoints such men as these to be our governors!"
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
NEW-YORK, November 24.
By the ship Liberty, captain Chew, who arrived at this port yesterday in 50 days from Liverpool, the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received a file of London papers to the evening of the 30th of September. Lloyd's Lists of the same date and a Liverpool paper of the 2d October, the day previous to the vessels sailing.
The following extracts, and a few articles of marine news, comprise whatever in these papers is politically or commercially interesting.
LONDON, September 29.
The mails due on Sunday se'night and Wednesday last, arrived this morning. It is quite certain that Cataro is still in the hands of the Russians. It also appears that Napoleon has been disappointed in one effect which he expected from D'Ou-bril's treaty.
The signing of this treaty was notified to the Russian commandant at Cataro, in the hope that without farther orders he would give up the place. He seems how-
ever, to have been too well acquainted with his duty as a soldier to be surprised into a surrender by such a stratagem as this—though the Austrians were to have been made instruments in this deception.
Appearances become every day more hostile upon the continent. Both France and Prussia prepare with great activity. Saxony is to furnish to the latter twenty six thousand men, and Russia has a well appointed army ready for the field. Even Austria greatly to the credit of the archduke Charles, has already restored her army and supplied her wasted magazines arms and military stores, and may soon be able to take a decided part in any new war that may be provoked by the insatiable ambition of Bonaparte.
Our private correspondent at Hamburg states a report current there, that the emperor of Russia has taken possession of Prussia Proper and even Konigsberg itself, as a security that Prussia will act in concert with the allies in the approaching war. If this be correct we may soon expect to see Lord Lauderdale in London.
By letters from the Hague it appears that the greatest activity prevails in the military preparations of the army of Holland.
A French army of forty thousand men comprising ten thousand Dutch, is to be stationed on the Ems, in Bentheim.
A decree of divorce has been formally published at Paris, of the marriage between Jerome Bonaparte, and Miss Paterson. Report says that brother Jerome is to be immediately united to a Foreign Princess.
Downing-Street, Sept. 25.
The king has been pleased to cause it to be signified by the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Howick, his Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to the ministers of friendly and neutral powers resident at this court, that his majesty having been pleased on the tenth day of May last to direct that the necessary measures should be taken for the blockade of the coasts, rivers and ports from the River Elbe to the port of Brest, both inclusive, is at present discontinued and that from the date hereof, the navigation of the coasts, rivers, and ports, from the river Elbe to the river Ems, both inclusive is as free as if such blockade had never taken place.

It will, we are persuaded, give general and warm satisfaction to the army, and to the country, to learn the liberality of government, in permanently appointing the brave general Beresford as commander in chief at Buenos Ayres, with the same salary as possessed by the Spanish governor, viz. 10,000. per annum.
The names of several gallant officers, whom we lately mentioned, are, we are glad to hear, likely to be soon employed, and the long looked for and talked of brevet to come out.
Generals England & St. John are going to Portsmouth on a visit to their fine regiments going thence on a foreign service.
Expeditions — The 9th Light Dragoons (Earl of Rosaly's regiment;) the 17th ditto, of which the hon. gen. Grey is lieutenant colonel; the 5th, 36th, 88th, and 89th foot; and the 7th, 8th, and part of 5th and 6th German legion, still remain at Portsmouth. The Ardent, of 64 guns, captain Donelly, sailed yesterday from Portsmouth. Colonel Crawford, secretary to Mr. Windham, with the rank of brigadier general, certainly goes in command of the troops at Portsmouth on a separate and particular service. Colonel Crawford is a man of science, of the finest military talent, and though his present rank is not high, he has been as long in the army as most of our lieutenant generals.
Plymouth, Sept. 28.
This morning early sailed to the westward, the Plover, of 18 guns, and a gun brig of 14 guns, having under their convoy 12 transports, with the 45th, 87th, and 95th regiments of foot on board. It is said that they are to touch at Falmouth. The transports with the 40th regiment on board, are gone up Hamoaze, in order that the men may be removed from them into copper-bottomed ships, previously to their sailing for Buenos Ayres.
Paris journals to the 26th inst. inclusive, and Dutch to the same date, have been received, the contents of which are of considerable importance.
They confirm what we yesterday stated that Bonaparte has left Paris. The fact is announced in the Moniteur in the following short notice;

Paris, Sept. 26.
Their imperial and royal majesties set out from St. Cloud in the night between Wednesday and Thursday. The emperor, it is supposed, proceeds towards Mayence.
It was understood at Paris, that Talleyrand left that city on Friday, to follow his master; at least it was not doubted that he would join him.
There can now be no doubt whatever that he goes to head his army, and lead it against the king of Prussia. The Moniteur has not yet in any direct manner, alluded to the dispute between these two powers.
The general complexion of the French and Dutch Journals, compared with the accounts received by the mails yesterday, shew that war is now considered as inevitable between Prussia and France. The French accounts respecting Germany are never entitled to any credit, but from the great anxiety they manifest to falsify the statements from other quarters, they betray the feeling of the French government on the contemplation of the present crisis. There are articles in the Moniteur from Cassel of the 13th, and Dresden of the 11th, in which Prussia is accused of an attempt to usurp over Saxony and Hesse a sovereignty much more direct and overbearing than the emperor, as head of the Germanic body, had ever claimed or exercised.
It is stated in the same articles, that the elector of Hesse had refused to ratify a treaty concluded at Berlin, in which the pretensions of Prussia were recognized. There is not the least evidence of such a subject of misunderstanding; for all the German accounts concur in the statement that the Hessians were to join the Prussians, and that the junction of a considerable body with general Ruchel has actually been effected. As to Saxony, which is represented equally averse to co-operate with Prussia; the fact is unquestionable, that the whole of the Saxon troops are at the disposal of the Prussians, and the whole of the Saxon territory is occupied by them.
From every thing we can collect, the Prussian army would be in the positions it intended to occupy about the end of this month. The French army could not be concentrated and put in motion before that period. Bonaparte left Paris on the morning of the 25th, and could not be at Frankfort before the 30th, nor commence operations till some days after. There are eight separate grand corps d'armee of French troops in Germany, but we apprehend these upon an average do not exceed fifteen thousand men each, if they are so numerous which we do not, however, believe. Each of them consists of three divisions. Probably, however, the number of French troops actually in Germany is near one hundred and twenty thousand men. Of these, however, there is no doubt that a considerable number must be left to watch the motions of Austria, which cannot be supposed altogether indifferent at so critical a moment. But the number of the French disposable forces is so great, that it is impossible to contemplate the approaching struggle in which Prussia, in the first instance, must be almost single, without painful apprehensions. The Moniteur makes a parade of the conscripts marching to join the armies, and 300,000 men are said to be ready to march into Germany.
The departure of Bonaparte from Paris for the army, seems to determine what the German accounts had left doubtful. The king of Prussia, it was supposed, would leave Berlin for the army on the 20th, in the dispatches from M. Knobelsdorf, at Paris, were not satisfactory. Bonaparte joining the army shews that he did not consider them such as were likely to secure peace without the intimidation of his presence at the head of the army. The duke of Brunswick established his head quarters at Halle on the 13th. The king was expected there, but it is probable that the head quarters would be advanced towards the enemy before the 20th.
The Moniteur notices an important measure of the Ottoman Porte. The princes of Moldavia and Wallachia, who are considered as devoted to Russia, have been deposed. We doubt, however, whether the order will be executed. The change proposed evidently originates in the French interest at Constantinople. We can, however, lay before our readers accounts received direct from Constantinople, by the mails of yesterday, on which they may place a reliance which it would be folly to give to any coming through a French channel.
When the new French ambassador arrived at Constantinople on the 10th of August last, reports were circulated that the result of his visit would be unfavorable to
the interests of Great Britain; and nothing less than immediate declaration of war against this country was expected. The Porte has, however, pursued a different line of conduct, and assured the British merchants that their fears of a rupture were groundless.
PHILADELPHIA, November 25.
On Sunday last arrived at New York the ship Liberty, captain Chew, from Liverpool. By this conveyance Liverpool papers to the 3d, and London papers to the 1st of October are received, from which we have the articles in the foregoing columns.
By these advices it appears that the misunderstanding between Prussia and France had become so far exasperated as to induce the emperor to leave Paris, to head his armies, which are all converging to one point. There is nothing of an authentic shape to warrant the expectation that either Russia or Austria would be involved in the conflict; although there are many circumstances of preparation and policy, which render such a coalition highly probable. Otherwise the world may shortly be called upon to witness the humiliation of the court of Berlin. But for the higher interests of the other powers of Europe, such a catastrophe would not excite much commiseration, as it was owing either to her duplicity or her pusillanimity, that the other powers of Europe, in the late war, were overthrown and degraded by Bonaparte.
The reasons for lord Lauderdale's remaining at Paris, subsequent to these stormy indications, are inscrutable. Nothing had transpired to lead to an idea when he might be expected to return; or what progress had been made in the negotiation.
The British parliament was prorogued to the 20th of October. An order of the king in council had been issued to raise the blockade of the Prussian ports—the differences between England and Prussia had been adjusted—and baron Jacobi, late Prussian minister to the court of St. James, was daily expected in London.
A large reinforcement of British troops had sailed for Buenos Ayres—of which gen. Beresford was appointed governor, with a salary of 10,000 pounds sterling per annum.
The emperor of Russia is said to have taken possession of Prussia-Praper, which was to be held as a pledge for the king's observance of his engagements with the allies.
The Swedish army, 30,000 strong, were entering Hanover, to co-operate with Prussia.

The latest letters received from Gen. Wilkinson are dated at Natchitoches, October 24th. He states that he was about moving the army to the banks of the Sabine; and that when there, he intended to propose to the Spanish governor, that the American forces should retire to Natchitoches, and the Spanish forces to Nacogdoches. The former place is about 60 miles on this side, and the latter about eighty miles on the other side of the Sabine. It was the opinion of General Wilkinson that this proposition would be acceded to. In case it should not, he was not in the least fearful of consequences.

Important Caution.—Directions by which a person may save himself from drowning;—If he fall into deep water, he will rise to the surface by flotation, and continue there, if he do not elevate his hands, and keeping of them
down is essential to his safety. If he move his hands under the water, in any way he pleases, his head will rise so high as to allow him free liberty to breathe; and, in addition, he move his legs exactly as in the action of walking up stairs, his shoulders will rise above the water, so that he may use less exertion with his hands, or apply them to other purposes.
From the Boston Reperory. COMMUNICATION.
If the northern powers should confederate against France, and success should attend their arms, Holland might get rid of its French yoke and its French king. Austria might rouse again and shaking the deputy sovereigns of Wittenburgh and Bavaria. In case the rapid march of the Legions of Bonaparte, should overwhelm Prussia as Austria was overwhelmed, at Ulm, then Europe would probably cease to resist its master. The Russian monarch might indeed continue to reign at Astracan, and enjoy independence and insignificance beyond the steeps or deserts of the Ural and the Wolga. But Bonaparte would be implicitly obeyed from Stockholm to the republic of Ragusa.
In this alternative the patriotic Chronicle sees infinite cause of hope and joy—France fights for her conquests, and Prussia and Sweden for their native soil.—O! glorious thought, says the patriotic Duane let us enjoy it, though but in fancy—So much the more able will Bonaparte be to help us, when we want him. France fights for ambition, Sweden and Prussia for liberty and independence. We ought to consider the cause of France, says the Chronicle as our cause.
We have often asked the democrats to remark the baseness of their leaders. We ask it again because we think no men out of the state prison and the Chronicle and Aurora offices, can be so base as to approve these sentiments of their party. No, may heaven the guardian of American liberty, grant such success to the arms of the enemies of France, as to leave her no subjects but Frenchmen.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Mutual Assurance Society, against Fire on Buildings of the state of Virginia, held at the General Office, on the 30th of September, 1806, the following Resolution was adopted, which is by order of the Board published for the information of the persons concerned, viz:
A GREAT variety of causes having concurred to render it inconvenient and impracticable to complete the revaluation of those buildings in the towns and in the country, which had been insured prior to the 30th of January, 1805, at the period limited by the last resolution of the Board on that subject.
Resolved, therefore, that the special agents of this Society be allowed till the first day of December next inclusive, to complete the revaluation of all buildings which have been insured as aforesaid, within the districts and towns for which they may have been severally appointed; and that no further indulgence, hereafter, will be extended to those members of the Society, who shall fail to have their buildings revalued, on or before the said first day of December next.

Fifty Dollars Reward.
ON the night of Tuesday the 14th instant, a negro man, named BEN , the property of the subscriber, broke the jail of Prince George's county, where he had been put for security, and made his escape; in his elopement he was accompanied by a white man of the name of EARL , who had been committed for robbery. Earl said he was a sea-faring man, a native of Philadelphia, that his father had been selling master of the United States ship Congress , whilst under the command of Captain Decatur, and is now Commodore of the gun boats stationed off New-Orleans. He is about 5 feet 10 inches high, slender made, about 24 or 25 years old, and has light brown or sandy colored hair. I think it is probable he may carry Ben with him and pass him as his slave until he has an opportunity of selling him. Whilst in jail Earl's cloathing was a blue India cotton seaman's jacket, and trousers of the same. Ben is a shoemaker and gardener by trade, he is also a tanner, and can be a very expert house servant—he is about 38 years of age, and from 5 feet 4 to 5 feet 8 inches high, stout and square built, has very woolly hair, red eyes, fat nose, and a black complexion—he is a fellow of considerable address and great plausibility, disposed to be rather pert and impudent, especially when intoxicated, but is easily reduced to submission.
I will give a reward of Thirty Dollars to any person who will secure him in any jail so that I may get him again, or to any person who will apprehend him and bring him to me. I will give a reward as follows: if taken 100 miles or upwards from home I will give 50 dollars, if taken from 40 to 100 miles from home I will give 40 dollars, or if taken within 40 miles of this place I will give 30 dollars, besides defraying reasonable expenses in bringing him home.
All masters of vessels and others are hereby forewarned from harboring, employing or carrying off said Negroes, as I will prosecute whoever shall do so with the utmost rigor of law.

The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for removing weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bileous Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for the last twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholera, Catarrhals, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be good. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious Pills, or Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and effect of which they are held by medical men of the highest eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colds and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysentery, diarrhoea, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti-bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.

It likewife takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scrobutic gums and bad teeth.
