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." Gentleman's Magazine, Nov. 1803.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, January 20.
DEBATE ON EXTRA SESSION.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Quincy's Speech concluded.]
Mr. Quincy continued.—I did not intend to argue the unconstitutionality of the enforcing embargo law. I was only illustrating my sense of the violation of the rights of the members on that occasion, by shewing that I had been precluded from urging the objections I was prepared to offer against it through the lateness of the hour and the utter incompetency of all after the fatigue of eighteen hours uninterrupted session, either to hear or to speak upon any subject. The constitutional objections to that bill were great, and as I believe unanswerable. The haste with which it was passed, and the little opportunity given for discussion of its principles were little adapted to satisfy the public that the bill would bear a thorough examination. The connexion of these observations with the bill under debate is intimate and palpable. The reasons I urge against this bill are, that by providing for a meeting of Congress in May, without providing a limitation of the embargo law, you in fact leave the next Congress in the same bonds to the executive power, in which this house at present stands; that if it be your real intention to raise the embargo after May, as this extra-session seems intended to intimate to the people, you ought at once to limit it; otherwise the people ought not to be satisfied; but to examine into the constitutional objections to those laws. If these appear to the people and to the state legislatures as they do to my mind it is their duty—to do what? To rise in insurrection? No, sir. To break the bonds of union? No, sir.—But to take the constitution, that great charter of our liberties, into their consideration, and to strengthen and support its principles by vindicating them from violation. Do gentlemen really think it “treason” to invite intelligent men, the natural guardians of their own and of the people's rights to take your laws and bring them to the touchstone of the constitution? We have gained little by our independence, if this liberty belong not to us. Sir, we perform a high and imperious duty, when those who believe that the constitution is violated say to the people that such is their opinion and call them to an examination of your laws with that reference. All we say to them is, put not off this enquiry until June, under the apprehension the embargo will be removed. Look to your rights, if they are violated remonstrate. Maintain the only bond of your union; the constitution. Let it not be broken for the purpose of making of its commercial power an instrument of hostility. For such a purpose the commercial power was never granted. Gentlemen strive to represent those who use this language as hostile to the union. Nothing can be less founded in truth. Hostility it may be to the principles of an administration, which, for the sake of maintaining a favorite system to value as nothing all those constitutional principles, which the wisdom of our fathers erected as barriers round our liberties. Suppose the present or any future Congress to pass any law, not only manifestly unconstitutional but so oppressive upon the mass of the people that it is impossible to wait upon the slow processes of the judiciary. The case may certainly be supposed. I ask, what is the remedy?—Can there be any other than constitutional remonstrance? And how can this be effected but by calling the people to examine their rights and the alleged invasion of them.
With respect to the feelings and sentiments, relative to these laws in the part of the country which I represent, I do not believe that this house realizes the nature and extent of them. The doubt concerning their constitutionality is not confined to men of one particular party. I have reason to believe that a very great number of the intelligent men who are supposed to differ from me in political sentiments, do agree in questioning their validity. I feel as strongly as my colleague (Mr. Bacon) the hazardous nature of the present crisis. A course of events is advancing upon us, which, I
fear, no human power can control; and in what it will terminate certainly no human foresight can tell. But this crisis is not to be evaded by tampering with it, nor by obstinate adherence to the system which is the origin of this excitement. Let this scheme of coercion be abdicatid, if it be necessary to go to war. Let government designate the nation with whom we are to fight, show the justice and the policy of hostilities, and bring the resources of the nation into operation.
But I conjure gentlemen not to sport with the present state of things. I know there does exist in the majority of this house, an honest mistake concerning the sentiments of the people in the eastern states. It is thought that discontent with the embargo arises solely from party opposition. Let me assure gentlemen the case is far otherwise. On this account have I spoken. Gentlemen think that the hope of a session in May, will give content to that people. Be assured it will not. They have too deep and universal an interest in this subject to be deluded into a postponement of the consideration of their constitutional rights. If Congress rise without limiting the embargo, they will not have reason to expect its repeal in May, nor will they act on that expectation. When the session in May arrives there will be nothing to choose between but the old alternatives, embargo or war; and an attempt will be made to continue the present system six months longer. Now I do not believe it is within the physical power of New England to endure it for that period.
(Debate to be continued.)
MINUTES.
MONDAY, February 13.
Mr. Milnor presented a petition from 3,000 inhabitants of the city and county of Philadelphia, praying for the repeal of the embargo laws, and remonstrating against the late enforcing act. Referred to the committee of the whole on the non-intercourse bill.
Mr. Mumford presented similar petitions from the city of New York; and Mr. Van Dyke from inhabitants of Delaware, which were referred in the same manner.
The bill from the senate authorising the incorporation of a company for the purpose of opening a turnpike road from Mason's causeway to Alexandria, was read twice and after some discussion referred to the committee on the affairs of the district of Columbia.
A petition from the inhabitants of said district upon the subject of the above road was presented by Mr. Milnor, and referred to the same committee.
Legislature of Virginia.
FRIDAY, Feb. 3.
The following resolution, which lay on the table, was taken up.
Resolved, That the Senators of this state in the Congress of the United States, be instructed and the representatives from this state be requested, to obtain the passage of a law extending relief (during the present embarrassment of our commercial affairs) to those against whom judgments have been or shall be obtained in the federal court.
A motion was made to amend the said resolution by striking out the whole of it from the word “Resolved,” and inserting in the lieu of it the following:
“That our Senators in Congress be instructed, and that our representatives therein be requested, to use their endeavors to procure an amendment to the act passed at the first session of the first Congress of the United States (entitled “An act to establish the judicial courts of the United States,”) whereby the circuit and district courts of the United States shall be subjected to and be regulated by the laws of the several states in which they shall be held, which are now in existence or may hereafter be enacted, regulating the issuing of process, the proceedings thereon, or the suspension thereof: Provided, the same shall not apply to process on behalf of the United States.”
And the question being put on agreeing to the said amendment, it passed in the affirmative.
Ordered, That the clerk carry the said resolution to the Senate and desire their concurrence.
TUESDAY, February 7.
Mr. Pope from the committee appointed to prepare an Address to the President of the United States presented an Address, which was read in the following words:
SIR, THE General Assembly of your native state cannot close their session, without acknowledging your services in the office which you are just about to lay down,
and bidding you a respectful and affectionate farewell. We have to thank you for the model of an administration, conducted on the purest principles of republicanism, for pomp and state laid aside; patronage discarded; internal taxes abolished; a host of superfluous officers disbanded; the monarchic maxim “that a national debt is a national blessing,” renounced; and more than thirty-three millions of our debt discharged; the native right to nearly one hundred millions of acres of our national domain extinguished; and, without the guilt or calamities of conquest, a vast and fertile region added to our country, far more extensive than her original possessions, bringing along with it the Mississippi and the port of Orleans, the trade of the west to the Pacific Ocean, and in the intrinsic value of the land itself, a source of permanent and almost inexhaustible revenue. These are points in your administration which the historian will not fail to seize, to expand and teach posterity to dwell upon with delight. Nor will he forget our peace with the civilized world, preserved through a season of uncommon difficulty and trial; the good will cultivated with the unfortunate aborigines of our country, and the civilization humanely extended among them; the lesson taught the inhabitants of the coast of Barbary, that we have the means of chastising their piratical encroachments, and awing them into justice; and that theme on which, above all others, the historic genius will hang with rapture, the liberty of speech and of the press, preserved inviolate, without which genius and science are given in vain.
In the principles on which you have administered the government, we see only the continuation and maturity of the same virtues and abilities which drew upon you in your youth the resentment of Dunmore. From the first brilliant and happy moment of your resistance to foreign tyranny, until the present day, we mark with pleasure and with gratitude, the same uniform, consistent character, the same warm and devoted attachment to liberty and the republic, the same Roman love of your country, her rights, her peace, her honor, her prosperity.
How blessed will be the retirement into which you are about to go! How deservedly blessed will it be! For you carry with you the richest of all rewards, the recollection of a life well spent in the service of your country, and proofs the most decisive of the love, the gratitude, the veneration of your countrymen.
That your retirement may be as happy as your life has been virtuous and useful; that our youth may see in the blissful close of your days, an additional inducement to form themselves in your model, is the devout and earnest prayer of your fellow-citizens who compose the General Assembly of Virginia.
The question being about to be put on agreeing to the said address, the previous question, to wit, shall the main question on the said address be now put? was moved and seconded.
And the question being put on the said previous question, it passed in the affirmative.
Appointments by the Virginia Legislature.
On Tuesday se'nnight the legislature proceeded to appoint three judges of the general court, to fill three vacancies created by the laws of the last and present session to organize and establish a superior court of law in each county of this commonwealth.
Two of these were created by the law of the last session. An additional circuit and of course an additional judge was created by the present session of the assembly. For this last office, the members of the present assembly could not become candidates according to the act of '94, which prevents any senator or delegate, “during the time for which he was elected,” being appointed to “any civil office,” “which shall have been created during such time.”
Mr. Alexander Stuart was nom. by Mr. Wooding.
Mr. W. W. Henning by Messrs. Crutchfield and Wooding.
John Coalter (Staunton) by Mess. Parker, Kinney, Preston and Yerby.
Members of the house of delegates. Hugh Nelson by Messrs. Strother and Pope.
W. Brockenbrough by Messrs. Baker & Daniel.
Daniel Sheffey by Mr. Yerby.
James Semple by Messrs. Strother and Mallory.
James Allen by Mr. Parker.
To fill the office created during the present session, the votes stood thus:
  Coalter 110   Henning 32   Stuart 22 
JOHN COALTER, esquire, is appointed one of the judges of the general court.
To fill the two offices created last session, the ballots and votes stood thus:
  1st ballot.   Hugh Nelson, 70   Wm. Brockenbrough, 30   Daniel Sheffey, 32   James Semple, 23   James Allen, 10   W. W. Henning, 13   Alexander Stuart, 4   HUGH NELSON, esq. was, consequently, elected.   Wm. Brockenbrough, 58 88   Daniel Sheffey, 56 77   James Semple, 39 20   James Allen, 13 3   W. W. Henning, 12 1   Alexander Stuart, 4   WM. BROCKENBROUGH, esquire, was, consequently, elected. 
On the next day, JAMES BARBOUR was chosen speaker of the house of delegates, vice Hugh Nelson, esq. appointed judge.
  Barbour 76   Semple 58 
Mr. Semple was brought forward without his knowledge or consent.
General TARLTON WOODSON, having signed his commission as major-general of the division, the assembly proceeded to fill the vacancy on Wednesday:
Brigadier-general John Pegram, and Brigadier-general Peter Johnston were the candidates.
  Pegram 87   Johnston 73 
Of course Gen. PEGRAM was duly elected.
* Dropped by a rule of the house.
† Withdrawn.
We understand, that major-generals Williams and Moore have been designated by the executive council to take command of the quota of 100,000 militia, to be drawn from this state for the service of the United States.
[Enquirer]
There have been more and more new appointments, made during the present session of the general assembly, than perhaps at any one session since the organization of the present government. One new governor, three members of the privy council, one new senator of the U. S. one new treasurer, one new register of the land office, two judges of the general court, two major-generals, three brigadiers, and one new speaker of the house of delegates—will make a very large, and rich invoice of appointments.

From the Norfolk Ledger.
[COMMUNICATION.]
The ships Nancy and Six Sisters, sailed from Hampton Roads for New Orleans, on Sunday last, having on board a detachment of troops of the U. States. As war is now of the order of the day, and as the nation is committed to the management of a democratic administration for four years more, it might not be unsatisfactory, to exhibit an instance of the talents and arrangements of the war department in respect of this expedition.—The facts will be stated as communicated to the writer, and from sources that leave no doubt of their correctness.
These two ships were chartered by the government to carry each a certain number of troops to N. Orleans at ten dollars per head according to their tonnage. The ships came from Baltimore to this place, to take on board the troops, which were to be ready for embarkation by a certain day, under a penalty of a fixed rate of demurrage if the troops were not ready.
The ship Nancy was to receive 235 soldiers and 8 officers; the Six Sisters, 20 soldiers and officers. After the ships had been some time on demurrage, they sailed for the Nancy with 140 soldiers and 8 officers, and the Six Sisters with 100 soldiers and officers. As the owners of these vessels had made every necessary preparation on their parts, they were entitled to receive compensation for the number agreed for, and not that number actually put on board, and they have been paid accordingly. The result to the U. S. will be exhibited by the following statement.
The Nancy received as for two hundred and twenty five soldiers at ten dollars per head, $2,225 Eight officers at 20 dollars per head, 160

  Demurage, 680   3,090   Carried only one hundred and forty soldiers at ten dollars per head, 1,400   Eight officers at 20 dollars per head, 160   1,560   Loss to the United States, 1,530   The Six Sisters received for two hundred soldiers at ten dollars per head, $2,000   Demurage, 300   2,300   Carried one hundred soldiers and officers at ten dollars per head, 1,000   Loss to the United States, 1,300   Thus by reason of the number of troops contracted for, not being here, and by detaining the ships for those that have been taken on board, the United States have paid for the transportation of 246 officers and soldiers $5,390 instead of paying for the same $2500. This may be called management, but if all our warlike expeditions are thus managed, Mr. Gallatin may devise new systems of finance.  It is further stated as a fact, that this detachment has been sent off without a single cartridge box. The writer does not communicate these circumstances with malice, but with a view to admonish those who are to conduct the country through a war of much expense, that more attention to business is requisite, than appears to have been bestowed on the present occasion.
ces from Russia. We find several American ships have laded this season at Riga. The American ships brought in here, the Live Oak, Farreil, and Meredian, Lord, are finally condemned and advertised for sale.  "The Margaret, Clark, Jemima, and Fanny, Shurburn; Rolla, Coffin, Pennsylvania; Thomas and Susannah, Folger, are all condemned in the lower court. Sentences daily looking for in the upper court. By the papers we notice the brig Leopard of N. York, Clark, has been liberated by the court of Halibury, in Jutland, the captors to pay 250 R. for damages. We are unacquainted whether or not the parties will appeal."
A CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.  We have received information from a very respectable source, that a merchant in this city has received a letter from Mr. Jefferson requesting him to send by the first opportunity two tierces of cotton seed, now on board a vessel in the river, to New York, in order that the same may be shipped to France by the Mentor. What will the southern people say to Mr. Jefferson's supplying France with the means of rivalling them in this important staple of our country. (Federal Repub.)

FROM THE N. Y. EVENING POST.  Washington, February 5th, Sunday evening 11 o'clock.
When I wrote you last respecting the dispatches to be sent by the Pacific and Mentor, I told you if I made any farther discoveries before the letters were sent off, I would immediately communicate them. I have since discovered more than I expected, and things which I am truly sorry should exist to be discovered. Indeed I am puzzled to believe them myself, and if it were not for several concurring circumstances, should certainly more than doubt the truth of the statement I am about to make.
Mr. Coles, the private secretary of Mr. Jefferson, goes out to France, and he carries letters from Mr. Madison, the contents of which I have already transmitted to you in substance. But besides the official letters from the Secretary of State, he carries private letters from Mr. Jefferson, the contents of which Mr. Madison himself does not know. These letters are to point out to France her true interest. And it is already asserted by those who are in the secret, that we shall assuredly have peace with France. That her decrees will be revoked as respects us, and all our differences with her settled. What the operation of this arrangement is to be you can guess as well as I—we shall then have only England to fight.
That there is a secret understanding between a certain great man and Bonaparte; I am well satisfied. It is very evident that there are secrets which they dare not expose to the great body of the democrats in congress, and this of the private dispatches is one. The divisions in caucus which have so bewildered the party are evidently occasioned by the want of a leader who should give out his orders resolutely and peremptorily. Jefferson trembles at the movements in New England and declines going into any new measure. Madison has not
yet taken the command, so that the party know not from day to day what they are to do next. It has been agreed in caucus to raise the embargo on the 5th of March, and substitute a war measure in its room; but so many of the northern democrats are opposed to war, that the leaders fear they cannot carry it; and if they cannot, they are determined not to raise the embargo. They hope by appearing to vote in the first instance to raise the embargo, that they shall deceive the people, and make them bear it a little longer. This is the whole trick.
In a late caucus, all the northern democrats except a very few, expressed their wish to have the embargo taken off without a war substitute—even the New Jersey representation were unanimous for raising it—but the southern opposed it. In a partial caucus, of southern hot heads, they agreed to give up New England, if she would not join them in a war with Great Britain, and strengthen themselves in the middle and southern states, where they fancy their measures will be universally approved. That they have held such conversation is certain, but that they are such fools as to think the nation can exist without the northern states, I cannot believe.
Having stated my information, I will now add my opinion of what will take place; but this you will observe is the opinion of an individual only, and of a mere mortal too, for I now speak as such; but as it is formed by a comparison of circumstances which cannot be known to every one, it may come near the truth. I think the embargo will not be raised this session. A resolution may pass to raise it in June, but with no intention to raise it even at that time the single object is still to deceive the people. If the embargo should be raised at the time the resolution lately passed points out, a war measure will assuredly be adopted, which will be worse than the embargo.
P. S. I had like to have forgotten to state that Mr. Coles is in the secret of the private letters—a secret with which Mr. Smilie himself is not entrusted.
MARIA, OR THE MOTHER'S DIRGE.
BY WILLIAM CAREY.  'TWAS at this hour, this heavy hour, But yesterday, 'twas at this hour, The beams of noon serenely shining, When yielding to the fatal Power, My sweetest Flower Droop'd low her head her life resigning.
I watch'd her eye—that beauteous eye, I watch'd the sun-set of her eye, 'Till Death o'er shadow'd every feature, I caught the long drawn struggling sigh, The plaintive cry, And last deep moan of parting nature.
Oh lovely May! sweet month of May! 'Twas in the merry month of May, That Heav'n bestow'd my precious treasure. I kiss'd her new-born tears away; And bless'd the day, With all a mother's pride and pleasure.
How bright my child! my dearest child, While suckling thee, my dearest child, The days of joy to joy succeeded. When Hope upon thy Angel smil'd, The winter wild Past howling o'er my roof unheeded.
Three years my breast, my flowing breast, Three years I gave to thee my breast, The fountain of thy lov'd nutrition. My bosom was thy halcyon nest, Thy downy rest, The haven of thy sweet fruition.
In Loda's bowers, her sunny bowers, Light wreaths I weave in Loda's bowers, For thee upon the turf reclining. Green buds refresh'd by sunny showers; With wild wood flowers, The rose and hyacinth entwining.
But now no more, ah never more! Thy smile shall gladden me no more! Thy pale remains from me they sever. To morrow—sweetest child adieu, From mortal view, The grave shall cover thee for ever.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15.
The Senate have passed Mr. Giles's resolution for raising the Embargo, on the 4th of March, and a non-intercourse with France and England—Ayes 23—Noes 9.
The House of Representatives were engaged yesterday, principally in discussing the bill laying additional duties on goods imported into this country. It was opposed, principally on the ground that the Secretary of the Treasury had recommended it, only in the event of certain measures being pursued with regard to the belligerent nations, which had not yet been adopted—and it was therefore improper to pass this law before they had determined on the attitude they would assume towards the offending powers. The advocates of the law said it was necessary on two grounds—first, on account of the additional revenue it would raise, which would be wanted in any event; and secondly, to counteract the schemes of the British government in sending over to this country immense quantities of goods in the course of this spring, so as to render our contemplated non-intercourse law of no avail.

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, Jen. 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, prepar- ed (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store, No. 65 Maiden Lane.  This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grate- ful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Rich- mond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charles- ton and Savannah. The testimony of a num- ber 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 more assertion co.  It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has eve- ry possible reason that can result from ex- tensive 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 fur- ther, that in the early stages of these diseas- es, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases es- teemed 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 se- cretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal conse- quences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costive- ness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all per- sons on a change of climate.  They have been found remarkably effica- cious in preventing and curing disorders at- tendant on long voyages, and should be pro- cured, and carefully preserved by every sea- man.  From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstan- ces 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 tak- en 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 medi- cine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove eve- ry symptom of a cold if taken on its first ap- pearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to ma- ny 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 dis- sipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, re- sidence in climates unfavorable to the consti- tution, 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 expe- rience to be absolutely unparallelled 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, in- voluntary emissions, seminal weakness, ob- stinate gleet, fluor albus, or whites, impo- tency, barrenness, &c. &c.

Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheu- matic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance to the preservation of health—this common remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—and pre- vention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any desir- on of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting effort to eradicate and overcome, none have a strong- er claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheu- matism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Limbs, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, Cramp and every species of Rheumatism from whatever cause they may have origin- ed—and hence every relief which can be ministered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too care- ful to possess immediate aid. Sea-far- ing persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly carry with them that medicine which counteract the unpleasant effects of their pe- culiar duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, or other warm climates, they will be found un- equalled 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 prepara- tions have been published to cure the dis- orders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated through- out the European continent, and whose ex- tended benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen well known in America, being of the first in sequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Glendon Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Mac- cubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Charles- ton.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.  About three weeks since I was most vio- lently attacked with Rheumatic pains through- my whole frame, in so severe a manner as to be able to turn in my bed without assist- proceeding as I suppose from a severe to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Ti- ssot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accor- dingly obtained from the agents Messrs. Green Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the appli- cation of which, under God, have perfectly re- stored 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, iron- maker.  It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Dr. Ti- ssot'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 dis- order, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providential- ly was recommended to apply at George Dob- bin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself per- fectly liberated from my disorder, and am now thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operat- so powerfully on myself, I determined to ap- ply it internally to my child; a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; and by administering it four times to him, his com- plaint was entirely removed, and he is now covering his strength with great rapidity.
