RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK.
"We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work."
British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages."
Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen."
The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction."
Evangelical Magazine, Oct 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

EMBARGO.
DEBATE on Mr. Hillhouse's motion for a repeal. [CONTINUED.]
(Mr. Lloyd's Speech continued.)
The gentleman seems to think, that by its continuance, Great-Britain may still be seriously affected by her want of bread stuff , of timber , of tobacco , or of cotton . Sir, I am sorry that in this discussion we have to refer so much to foreign nations, and sometimes to appear to place their resources in opposition to our own; but I know of no other way, into which to take into consideration the propriety of this embargo, or the effects that are likely to be produced from it. The statements, if correct, must be known to them, if not to ourselves, and we ought also to know them.
The gentleman from Virginia thinks that the want of our bread stuff will affect Great-Britain. From his extensive knowledge he must know, that the annual consumption of grain in Great-Britain is estimated at about one hundred and fifty millions of bushels: that the whole of our exports, reconvert- ing the flour into wheat, is about seven millions three hundred thousand bushels. Now admitting that every kernel of this grain used to be sent to Great-Britain, (which is very far from the fact) does the gentleman expect seriously to operate on Great-Britain, by retaining within our ports five per cent. of all the grain she consumes? Surely not, sir.
The gentleman also thinks that the want of our timber may affect her. Does he recollect that she has at command the forests of Sweden, of Canada, Nova Scotia, New-Brunswick, and the whole coast of South-America? With these resources, is it possible she can want timber ? No, sir; and the worst evidence of it for us, is, that she has just laid such a new duty on timber from the United States, as if the trade were now open, would amount to nearly a total exclusion from it.
Will she want tobacco ? There are gentlemen on this floor so much better informed respecting this article, that I shall say little about it. It is not a necessary of life, and what is produced in the West-Indies, the Caraccas, the Brazils, and the Spanish provinces, must, I should presume, be sufficient to prevent the embargo from affecting her by this commodity.
Does she want cotton ? Yes, sir, she does. Although the mention made by the gentlemen of the "bad trade at Manchester," is not a very happy illustration of the fact, too lively an interest cannot be paid to this article by the government of the United States. It is the great staple of the country, and more especially of the southern states. Great-Britain imports 70 millions of pounds of cotton annually.
The exports from the United States of this article amount to about 60 millions of pounds; of this, Great-Britain takes about two-thirds; say, however, that she receives from us forty-five, or fifty millions pounds in a year, and that this supply is very important to her manufactures; the question then is, whether, if we abstain from all intercourse with her, she can supply herself elsewhere? I fear she can. In addition to the increasing supply of her own West-India colonies, the Brazils can furnish her with fifteen millions of pounds. The annual export of cotton by the British from Bombay to China is from fifteen to twenty millions of pounds, which can be sent to Europe with a profit. Here then are at least thirty millions of pounds. The cultivation of cotton in Bengal is progressing; and Spanish America will further increase the stock. But I fear we have in our own neighborhood, a much more formidable competitor than can arise from any of the beforementioned places: the commerce of the whole coast of Guiana is under the control of Great-Britain; a coast of 300 miles in extent, as well calculated for the production of the best kind of cotton as any in the world. Until within a few years it scarcely produced any quantity of importance. It now brings into the market more than fifteen millions of pounds annually, and is
considered as being capable of producing, in a few years, more than sixty millions of pounds.
One of the worst effects of the embargo is, that it has trumpeted abroad what we never ought to have divulged; it has taught other nations the secret of their own self-dependance; it has induced them to seek new avenues of commerce, and when we are ready again to trade with them, it is greatly to be feared, that they will not leave their new, to return to their old customers.
The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Giles) thinks the embargo may be considered as a fortunate measure; that the people in his part of the country are contented with it; that the interior is improving; that Philadelphia is encreased, and so has Georgetown and Washington; that the condition of the farmers in his neighborhood have been ameliorated; they cultivated too much land before; they now raise less produce, but they are better situated. If this reasoning of the gentleman be sound, pursue the amelioration still further, and he will find his countrymen becoming exceedingly powerful and wealthy when they possess nothing at all. I am glad, however, to hear, that any part of our country is in a prosperous situation. I should rejoice were the country from whence I came, similarly circumstanced. With us industry is paralyzed; our produce is rotting on our hands, and real estate has become unsaleable. This may in part arise from the difference in the nature of our produce. The principal products of Virginia are, I believe, wheat, corn, and tobacco. The gentleman says our exports are beef and fish. These are among the principal. Cattle cannot be sold while beef cannot be exported, & must therefore be killed and lost, or kept on hand for better times, at an expence exceeding perhaps its value. In little more than 12 months the fish must return to the ocean in a much more worthless state than it was received from it; while the tobacco of Virginia for a time improves from age, and the grain with care may be kept two or three years without essential injury.
The gentleman from Virginia also says, that the constitution of the United States has mostly benefitted the eastern states; that it is immaterial to the southern & western states who are the carriers of their produce; the discriminating duties in favor of American shipping, are nothing to them; that the Northern states hold the public debt; and I understood him to say, that the southern states protect them.
[Speech to be continued.]
From the (Balt.) Federal Gazette.
We return thanks to a respectable merchant of this city, who has favored us with the Havanna Aurora, of 14th December—From which we have had translated the following correspondence between the patriotic governor of Cuba, and the late general Ferrand.
From the Havanna Aurora of 14th Dec. In consequence of the declaration of war against the French nation, many French residents in Cuba solicited the governor, Don Sebastian Kendelan, to furnish them with the means of transporting them to the city of St. Domingo. Their request was complied with, and the Spanish felucca Caroline, commanded by Don Miguel Tesie, was dispatched as a flag of truce, with which the governor sent the following letter to general Ferrand, containing a list of the persons on board:
Excellent Sir,
I have the honor of forwarding to your excellency a list of those persons of the French nation who have petitioned a passage to the city of St. Domingo, in the Spanish felucca Caroline, under the command of Don Miguel Tesie—and the honor to be, &c.
SEBASTIAN KINDELAN.
Cuba, 8th October, 1808.
To this letter, Gen. Ferrand sent the following answer:
Head Quarters of St. Domingo, Oct. 29. To his excellency Don Sebastian Kindelan, Governor of the Province of Cuba.
Sir,
I have received from captain Tesie the letter which you did me the honor to write to me on the 4th of the present month. The passengers, the list of whom your letter contained, have safely arrived in the Spanish felucca Caroline. I cannot conceal from you my astonishment at your announcing this vessel as a flag of truce, and that you should have dispatched her as such. I have ever been persuaded, and all sensible men are of the same opinion, that Spain is in perfect peace with France, and that not the slightest ill will or any kind of hostility whatever subsists between the two governments. With what reason then can the Spanish colonies, which are bound to obey the mother country, arrogate to themselves
the right to declare war in their own name, without the previous authority of their legitimate sovereign?
Under these considerations, I have the honor to declare to you, that I have not received the Caroline as a flag of truce, but only as a Spanish vessel, and that I shall act in the same manner towards all those which you may think proper to dispatch to me, all which I shall treat with that consideration which is due to a friend's flag, allied to my sovereign.
For the rest, sir, all the French who come from Cuba are unanimous in their commendation of the protection you have afforded them against the violence and vexations of a populace led astray by perverse counsels. This is what I had reason to expect, from your known loyalty and generosity. I shall hold myself infinitely obliged to you if you continue this treatment to the rest of my countrymen, and permit all who desire it to come to St. Domingo, in Spanish or French vessels.
I have the honor of transmitting to you a copy of the Constitution decreed by his Catholic majesty, JOSEPH NAPOLEON, and received with the greatest enthusiasm by all the constituted authorities, as likewise the whole nation.* By this you will learn how absurd, and at the same time how criminal are the pretexts employed to excite insurrection in the colonies. I avail myself of this opportunity, to send you dispatches directed to his excellency the captain-general of the island.
I have the honor to be, with great consideration, &c.
FERRAND.
*Spanish Note.—In proof of this, it has been publicly burnt wherever it has been received, and in many places by the hand of the public executioner.
It is not necessary to be endowed with any extraordinary sagacity, to foresee what kind of answer the governor of Cuba would return to this insidious and impudent epistle. His approved loyalty, and the well known zeal and patriotism which animate him, are sure guarantees of the dignity and energy with which he would retort upon Ferrand. That he did so, the following copy of his letter will show:
Excellent Sir,
I have read yours of the 29th ult. in answer to mine by the Caroline, which sailed from this port in quality of a flag of truce—and I am the more astonished at its contents, as you lay it down as a principle, that all sensible men (of which class you are the first) are persuaded that a state of perfect peace exists between Spain and France, and that the slightest act of hostility has not taken place between the two governments—and yet not only the Spanish colonies, but all the inhabitants of this vast hemisphere are fully persuaded and convinced of the contrary. To conceal this truth from your excellency, would be a dissimulation incompatible with my duty, and by so doing I should be wanting in that justice with which I am inspired, to expose to you the error into which you have probably been induced, by the treacherous and horrible policy of your monarch, a policy by which he has endeavored to conceal the bloody war which the glorious Spanish nation, triumphing over barbarity & oppression, wages against him. By the same policy you have been probably led to believe what you assert at the end of your letter, viz. that the intruder, Joseph Bonaparte , is peacefully reigning in Spain, to the great joy and happiness of the nation; by this I am confirmed in my opinion of your error; and if this truth has not transpired in these countries, altho' out of moderation and courtesy I have refrained from declaring it, there will be orders received in St. Domingo to follow step by step the system of the mother country in all that relates to the affairs of Spain, which united under a tutelary and legitimate government, very different from the one you suppose has covered itself with glory, by shaking off in the twinkling of an eye the yoke which was in such a shameful and unheard of manner imposed upon it. Now your excellency will know the real reason why the Spanish colonies think themselves at war with France, and with all that is under the dominion of Napoleon: and there is nothing they know better than to obey the orders of the mother country, and imitate her example. This honorable principle which you yourself have consecrated in your letter, resolves without reply the question which you have taken the trouble to propose, although founded on false supposition, and which I feel no obligation to combat in any other manner. Now you must know why the Caroline sailed hence to your port as a flag of truce; and be assured once for all that none of my nation will present himself to you in any other quality, and that any Frenchman will meet with a warm reception from me unless he comes in the same manner. You will learn that the
protection and hospitality which have ever been extended to your countrymen here, since the rupture between the two governments, is the effect of Spanish generosity which knows equally well how to treat with proper firmness all Frenchmen who may dare to abuse the favors they have received or prove ungrateful to the government which has so generously afforded to them an asylum. And now you will do the justice to the Spanish nation and particularly to those under my command, to acknowledge that they deem it the greatest honor to obey the laws and submit to the legitimate authority of their country; and that they never will submit to foreign usurpation. You will find yourself compelled by justice to contradict that part of your letter in which you stile them a mob, led astray by perverse council; a reproach which could only flow from those places where lying is reduced to a system, and where bloody schemes are engendered which they have succeeded in ruining the greatest part of the continent of Europe, have length met with invincible resistance from the Spanish nation, in which each individual has displayed greater vigour than ever you Alexander has employed to crush them in the outset. Finally, your excellency must be convinced that those who think as you do are not very sensible men as you express yourself, and that you have offered me an intolerable insult in sending me a copy of the detestable constitution of your fugitive Joseph Napoleon, which merely on account of its having been published in Bayonne, bears the marks of violence and crime which so eminently distinguish the bloody dynasty, which aims at disgracing all the thrones of Europe, from the mass of mankind. In future you will please to remember, that in all affairs of state you are to correspond directly with the captain general of the island of Cuba. On all other occasions I shall be ready to serve you to the utmost of my ability. God preserve you &c.
Cuba, 16th Nov. 1808.

His excellency L. Ferrand.
The paper mentioned by gen. Ferrand proving to be the infamous constitution of Joseph, manufactured at Bayonne, was immediately doomed to the flames.

Mr. Eason said, that if it had not been for the expectation he had indulged of an early session of congress, he should have voted with great reluctance and distrust for a number of measures which he had supported: and there were then many measures pending which he should feel great hesitation in acting over, if not assured that such would be the case.

Mr. Dana also offered the following resolution:

From several years experience, I can with truth declare, that there can be no better stand for a blacksmith than the one now offered to let.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11.
It is understood, that on the return of the ship Union, which may be expected in all this month, another messenger both to France and England, will be dispatched by our government; and that this will be their ulterior effort at amicable negotiation. The Union is not expected to bring out any thing of a satisfactory or decisive nature.
Phil. Gaz.
Yesterday four ships chartered by government to convey troops to New-Orleans, dropped down the bay for Annapolis, to avoid being detained by the ice.—All the troops have not yet arrived, but are momentarily expected. They will embark at Annapolis for their port of destination.

THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION.
Upon Mr. Madison's elevation to the presidency, the office of secretary of state will become vacant of course. Mr. Giles will undoubtedly receive that appointment, if he pleases to accept it; but it is thought to be too laborious an employment for his habits or his health. It is possible that he may prefer a foreign embassy, when our intercourse with foreign nations shall be re-established. Some are of opinion that Mr. Monroe will be appointed secretary of state, but we can hardly bring ourselves to believe it. That gentleman is certainly opposed to the present measures, and consequently out of favor, whatever esteem for his virtues may still be harbored in the breasts of Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison. It would require a degree of magnanimity in Mr. Madison, which we have no right to anticipate, although, setting aside the disastrous influence of his predecessor, we should certainly expect something magnanimous from Mr. Madison—It would require, we repeat, a degree of magnanimity which, all things considered, we cannot expect, to make Mr. Monroe secretary of state. We are inclined to think that if Mr. Giles declines, Mr. John Taylor of Virginia will fill that situation. If, as seems probable, we are to have a regular succession of Virginia presidents, the office of secretary of state will be the stepping-stone to the presidency, and the president for the time being, in nominating to the secretaryship, may be considered as nominating his successor.
It was supposed that Mr. Gallatin would retire. But from the complexion of certain late reports and other documents, it is very clear that that sagacious gentleman knows on which side his bread is buttered, and means to keep, not only his LOAF, but his FISH.
The post-master-general will retire with Mr. Jefferson. As there have been great complaints, probably very unjust ones, against his administration, from the western country, it is likely that the next head of that department will come from the west. Perhaps it will be Mr. John G. Jackson, or Mr. Boyle of Kentucky.
Mr. Rodney will continue in the office of attorney-general, and Dr. Tucker in that of treasurer.
The secretary at war will probably retire as collector at Boston. Gen. Wilkinson, gen. Varnum, or gen. Nelson, will supply his place.
The secretary of the navy threatens to resign. It has always been found so difficult to fill that office, that we shall not venture to guess who will be his successor.
If we should have foreign ministers hereafter, the most prominent candidates, next to Mr. Giles, will be gen. S. Smith, gen. Bradley and governor Milledge.
[Freeman's Journal.]
THE SUBSTITUTE.
Mr. LLOYD, the new Senator from Massachusetts, successor of Mr. ADAMS, is admitted to possess as much solid commercial information as any man in Congress. And he is a remarkably clear, correct and concise speaker. The friends of the embargo, have constantly complained that its opponents proposed no substitute. The conclusion of Mr. Lloyd's second speech announces a substitute of the true character, and in the true spirit of SEVENTY-SIX.
"Gentlemen opposed to the resolution say, that those who have brought it forward proposed no substitute for the embargo; and the gentleman from Virginia says, that I in particular have given no intimation on this head. I have no reserve in my opinion on the subject. I am free to say, remove the embargo, suffer the merchants to arm their vessels, put the nation in a state of defence, and assert your well established and indisputable rights, or perish in the contest."
[Ibid.]
A gentleman in this town has received a letter from his correspondent in Bordeaux, dated November the first, in which is enclosed a small slip of paper, on which is written as follows:—"A great battle has been fought in Spain, but on whose side victory is declared, is unknown."
We have but little doubt on whose side victory has declared; if it had been on the side of France, it would not have been a secret in Bordeaux. The first arrival from Europe, in a short passage, will, no doubt bring important intelligence.

TO ALMERIA.
By the warm, feeling heart, which thy feelings bespeak, By the hue of vermillion that glows in thy cheek, And those eyes which young Love for his temple might seek, I vow, that I love thee Almeria.
By thy glance so bewitching, th' enamoring wile, That lurks in thine eye, and enchants in thy smile, By those accents of thine which so sweetly beguile, I vow, that I love thee, Almeria.
By the rapturing swell of thy bosom divine, By the wishes I feel on thy breast to recline, And mingle warm sighs of affection with thine, I vow that I love thee, Almeria.
By the love breathing notes which so sweetly you sung When lost in transporting emotion I hung, On each thrilling accent that fell from your tongue, I vow that I love thee Almeria.
I vow by the bliss of that rapturous hour, When I ventured the wish of my heart to discover, And impress on thy cheek the warm kiss of a lover, I adore thee forever Almeria.

Valuable Family Medicines. The following well known genuine Medicines, from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by James Kennedy, sen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, And no where else in Alexandria. Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS , prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store , No. 56 Maiden lane. This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly gratifying to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman. From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require. In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney. 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, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit 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, &c. WM. DEVENNEY, No. 145, Cherry street, New York.
Hamilton's Grand Restorative, Recommended as an invaluable Medicine, for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any destructive intemperance, the unskilful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleet, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.
Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. Which there is reason to believe, have, within eight years past cured upwards of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from WORMS and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.

ITCH OINTMENT, Warranted to cure by once using, and to be free from Mercury or any pernicious or offensive ingredient, &c. may with perfect safety be applied to the youngest infant. Hannah Lee, Patent Medicine Store, New York, Sept. 10, 1808.
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 lacep 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 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 all 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 Dobbins 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, 1806.
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 Dobbins 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.
