BOB,
Who calls himself ROBERT THOMAS ; About 5 feet 10 inches high, 24 or 25 years of age, has large black eye brows, large full eyes, not very dark, and is a stout well made handsome fellow. His hair is thick, but not quite straight, and he wears it nicely trimmed, combed and ridged on the top. His beard appears very black if suffered to grow for a day or two, but he usually shaves it very closely. He has recently received an injury on the fore finger of the left hand, and has it bound up, and may probably lose the first joint of it. He speaks deliberately, and is more correct in conversation than persons of his color usually are. He walks slowly, is a very good waiter, & delights particularly in attending to horses. He has a variety of cloaths, and took with him one dark green broadcloth coat and pantaloons with yellow buttons, one dark coat and pantaloons nearly of the same color, but the cloth of inferior quality, with white metal buttons. one blue cloth coat much worn one old brown surtout coat with covered buttons. a good hat, and a pair of black top boots. The rest of his apparel I am not able particularly to describe. He is fond of wearing boots, and pays great attention to his dress.
As he can read and write very well, he may probably produce a forged authority for him to pass, or procure the certificate of some one of the negroes, who, a few years ago, petitioned by the name of Thomas and obtained their freedom in Maryland. If taken out of the state of Maryland and district of Columbia, and secured in any jail, so that I get him again, the above reward will be given, or sixty dollars if taken and secured within the said state or district; all reasonable expenses will also be paid if he should be delivered to me in the city of Washington, or to Dr. Richard Duckett, in Prince George's county, Maryland. He is well acquainted in Annapolis, Baltimore, Geo. Town, and the city of Washington.

Interesting Circulars. — As the following Circulars, copies of which have this morning been put into our hands appear highly interesting to part of the community, we hasten to give them to the public. — The first is addressed by the secretary of the Treasury to the Collectors of our revenue — and the second is from the president of the U. States to the governors of the several states.
(CIRCULAR.)
Treasury Department, May 6, 1803.
SIR, I informed you in my letter of the 28th ult. that the president considered "unusual shipment," particularly of flour and other provisions, of lumber and naval stores, as sufficient cause for detention of the vessel; pot and pearl ashes and flax seed ought to have been added to the list. But he has given it in charge to me to call your attention still more forcibly to that object. As it was the great leading object of the legislature in giving the power of detention, he considers it his duty in the execution of it, to give complete effect to the embargo laws. He recommends, therefore, that every shipment of the above articles, for a place where they cannot be wanted for consumption, should be detained. He perceives no necessity at present for the transportation of flour and similar articles from one port of the Chesapeake and its waters, to another port on the waters of the same bay; or from any whatever to ports in the Chesapeake, Delaware and Hudson, or to other places which export such articles. And in order to prevent the inconvenience which the want of a sufficient supply might occasion in some states, he has written a letter to the governors of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Georgia, and Orleans, a copy of which is, by his order, inclosed for your information.
In order that we also may be enabled to judge of the manner in which the law and his instructions are carried into effect, you will be pleased to transmit weekly to this department, a statement of the vessels laden with articles of domestic produce, which shall have departed from the district during the week, shewing the species and quantities of articles and the port of destination. Vessels not manned, or decked packets, and ferry boats, vessels which give no bonds, and those employed in carrying fire wood, manure, stones, and similar articles, need not be inserted in the statement.
I am, very respectfully, Sir, Your obedient servant, (Signed)
ALBERT GALLATIN.
The Collector of
To the Governors of Orleans, Georgia, S. Carolina, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
WASHINGTON, 6th May, '08.
The evasions of the preceding embargo laws went so far towards defeating their objects, and chiefly by vessels clearing out coastwise, that Congress, by their act of April 25th, authorised the absolute detention of all vessels bound coastwise, with cargoes exciting suspicions of an intention to evade those laws. There being few towns on our seaboard which cannot be supplied with flour from their interior country, shipments of flour become generally suspicious and proper subjects of detention.
is one of the few places on our seaboard which needs supplies of flour by sea for its own consumption. That it may not suffer by the cautions we are obliged to use I request of your excellency, whenever you deem it necessary, that your present or any future stock should be enlarged, to take the trouble of giving your certificate in favor of any merchant in whom you have confidence, directed to the collector of any port, usually exporting flour, from which he may choose to bring it, for any quantity which you may deem necessary for consumption beyond your interior supplies, enclosing to the secretary of the Treasury, at the same time, a duplicate of the certificate as a check on the falsification of your signature. In this way we may ensure a supply of the real wants of your citizens, and at the same time prevent those wants from being made a cover for the crimes against their country which unprincipled adventurers are in the habit of committing. I trust, too, that your excellency will find an apology for the trouble I propose to give you, in that desire which you must feel, in common with all our worthy citizens, that inconveniences encountered cheerfully by
them for the interests of their country, shall not be turned merely to the unholy profits of the most unworthy part of society.
I salute your Excellency, With assurances of my high respect and consideration, (Signed)
TH: JEFFERSON.
FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
THE political intelligence from the great Atlantic states, if it do not warrant an entire confidence that the golden principles of FEDERALISM have revived in full vigor and health, at least instructs us that the fatal embargo law threatens fearful ruin to the tottering cause of democracy. The good and powerful portion of the people are prepared constitutionally to rise up in their strength against the destructive policy of our rulers. Let democracy , and her treacherous hand maid, French influence , stand aghast, brooding over their own inquiries. The guil y may escape retributive vengeance for a while, but justice will overtake them yet. Tho' majestic in her mien, and bold in her approach, she will steal anon upon her trembling victim, and point with peculiar emphasis at the faithless friends of their country.
Should the ruling democracy be buried in the tomb of French influence, where could be found the political caniff to weep over their remains? Honest Americans alive to the true interest of their bleeding country, would hail it as a jubilee, as the dawn of salvation, and the returning greatness and prosperity of the nation. We have long endured the experiment with re-signation, and enough have we suffered. Efficacious state medicines must be administered to resuscitate the languishing body politic. Great political skill may revive her, but it is the slow work of great caution and tender treatment, to mend a decayed system and broken constitution.
Where is the stoic, who can contemplate our calamities with indifference? Let the surdiest democrats, however mad and intoxicated with the hacknied quack of liberty and equality, draw a picture of the present condition of our country, and its flourishing state, when the federalists descended from the chair of authority. Experience is the best test of principles. It will require nothing of the nice taste of an artist to decide between the two.
When power was shifted into the hands of our present rulers, the country was in a state of almost unexampled prosperity. She ranked high among the nations of the globe; she felt her respectability and importance daily increasing and her weight in the scale of European politics was grateful to the pride of Americans. All Europe was astonished that a people in their infancy, who had but just burst the shackles of slavery, should so suddenly start into a political importance, which rivetted the admiration of the world. None of your little, narrow-minded, contracted notions of government had crept into favor, and gained footing in those auspicious days of federalism. A broad, liberal and enlightened policy prevailed. COMMERCE which so quickly raised our country to her then elevated rank, knew not her secret enemies, who have since arrayed themselves in deadly hostility against her. Little did she think she took to her bosom a viper that would sting her unto death. She flourished, and under her benign influence we became a rich, a powerful and respected people. Our treasury was overflowing, our nation happy, united, virtuous, strong. "Look on this picture—and on THIS!"
See your laws and constitution trampled under foot. Instead of being the avenger of the violated rights of freemen, the sure protector of oppressed and injured citizens, they were made the scourge of those they were intended to protect; the weak against the strong and powerful! Our country, jealous of being betrayed into the hands of an overweening, insolent, griping tyrant — public faith and national honor strangled in their manhood; and not even the consolation left, after tamely enduring the arrogance and high-handed insolence of foreign courts, of gaining our humble ends. We are environed with difficulties and dangers; from which the united wisdom of our public councils betrays their inability to extricate us. We have been involved in a quarrel with all Europe; which common foresight and a just and impartial policy might have averted. The whole nation groans under an intolerable pressure of sufferings and privations, rather courted than resisted — and BANKRUPTCY and BEGGARY stare every man in the face!
Can such things be, And overcome us like a summer's cloud, Without our special wonder?
MENTOR.
FOREIGN ARTICLES.
COMMERCE.
Speculations have lately been hazarded in England, to shew that that country is independent of commerce, and that her resources are wholly within herself. As a general proposition, it may be admitted that agriculture is the only foundation of wealth; but this must be taken with relation to the whole world at large, and it may not follow that the cultivation of the soil, to the exclusion of other occupations, will be the policy of every country any more than of every individual in a society. The fact is, that agriculture, manufactures & commerce, have all been found to be the real source of national greatness; — and it is not therefore from general principles and abstract reasonings that we are to give an exclusive preference to one or to the other — How far they are to be conjointly or separately encouraged, must depend upon a due consideration of various circumstances, to which the writers alluded to have not sufficiently attended; such as the extent of territory, the fertility of the soil, the insular or continental situation of the country, and the talents, acquirements and disposition of the inhabitants. Accordingly as these are judiciously considered, the true interests of a country will be promoted, and it is by this diversity of pursuits, and the consequent interchange of productions, talent and labor, that Providence has united together the great society of mankind. To what cause are we to attribute the power of Venice in the beginning of the 16th century, when she withstood, both by sea and land the whole force of Europe combined against her in the league of Cambray? Or how are we to account for the former greatness of the states of Holland: the most formidable maritime foe that England ever encountered? In these instances manufactures had little, and agriculture no concern. How then can it be denied that commerce may be rendered a source of national wealth? That Great Britain derives a considerable part of her riches from agricultural pursuits is indisputable; — and every effort to promote them is entitled to the highest praise; but her peculiar character is that of a manufacturing and commercial nation. As a mere agricultural state she would stand low indeed in the scale of nations, but if, in addition to her agriculture, she exert herself to maintain that superiority in her manufactures and commerce which she has already acquired, and secures those advantages by the establishment of peace, she may look to the continuance of her prosperity not only with probability but with confidence.
Bonaparte has adopted a very extensive plan for the improvement of Paris. Among other subjects all the streets between the Carrousel and Louvre are to be pulled down and another gallery corresponding with the gallery of the Louvre, to be built with an open arcade, leaving in the front of the Thuilleries a parade sufficiently large to exercise an army of 100,000 men. Another new bridge is now building over the Seine from the middle of the Champ de Mars, and several new fountains are erecting, and the new national monument in the cemetery of the Magdalens, and the triumphal arch in the garden of the Thuilleries, commemorative of the victories of Napoleon, are prosecuting with activity. The other national works going forward are a column 150 feet high, in the place Vendome, to the French arms, with an avenue to the Boulevards; a martial temple on the Boulevards St. Honore, to contain the statues of the different generals who have distinguished themselves; on plates of gold, the names of all the officers and men who fell in battle are to be displayed; and on plates of silver, the names of those who survived those conflicts; a temple to Victory at the barrier of the Champs Elysees, of immense magnitude; a new sarade to the legislative palace in the pantheon of Genevieve; the quay of Desaix, which is to be faced with a piazza; and the column of Rostock.
The Dramatic Authors in Paris lately amounted to 2142, comprehending tragic and comic poets, melo-dramatists, moro-dramatists, vandevillists, parodists, and latominists. When performers of eminence become superannuated, they are supported by the state on the liberal principle, that those who have contributed to the public pleasures, should be supported in the decay of nature by public gratitude.
From Copenhagen we learn that the sound was completely covered with ice at the beginning of March; and that at Elsinore, where the passage is narrow and the current more rapid, the masses of ice were seen collecting from day to day; so that if the frost continued a week longer, it would be possible for foot soldiers to march over it into Sweden, where the public mind was said to be in great fermentation. At Elsinore active preparations were making to embark and transport the French army into Scania, and a flotilla was building to protect the movements of the navy and secure the transports from one island to another. In the mean while the king of Sweden (who is concentrating his army) has prohibited all communication between his kingdom and Denmark upon pain of death
— and has ordered the flotilla of Abo to be burnt, to prevent its falling into the hands of the Russians, whose operations are effectually seconded by the rigor of the sea.
The Porte is making the greatest efforts to re-establish the army of the Grand Vizier, which during the winter had been considerably weakened. One hundred and fifty thousand men from the Asiatic provinces are to repair to it. Very severe storms have been addressed to the governors, and envoys sent to press the execution of the orders of the Grand Signior.
The English squadrons continue to have the exclusive dominion of the Archipelago, seizing not only all Turkish vessels, but such as may have entered a Turkish port. On the 8th of January the Dardanelles and the ports of Egypt were officially proclaimed in a state of blockade, in the name of admiral Collingwood, with an offer to grant passports to all vessels sailing to and from Malte. This proceeding has reduced the commerce of the Levant to a state of absolute stagnation.
In the English court of admiralty at Doctors Commons, on the 6th of April, sir W. Scott proceeded to the adjudication of the American ship Union, captain Baker, captured on her passage from Amsterdam to Madeira, and thence to Santa Cruz. The ship had been already restored; and the question now was, as to the national character of the person who claimed the cargo, and who it was contended by the captors was a Dutchman. The court however, was clearly of opinion that he was to be considered an American, and directed the property to be restored to him.
BOSTON, May 13.
Arrived, brig Sally, Harris, 45 days from Alicante. Left, March 27, ship Hibernia Appleton, of Boston, in ballast, from Tonnigen, taken by the Josephine, French privateer, as entering the harbor; all communication with the ship strictly prohibited, the captain and crew were brought on shore to be examined before a tribunal, formed by the French consul, the legality of which, repeated decrees of the Spanish government have made patent, but notwithstanding the most urgent remonstrances of our consul (Robert Montgomery, esquire) on the subject, to the Spanish governor, the examination was carried into effect, and her papers remitted on to Paris for adjudication (as they say) on the infringement of the 1st and 2d articles of the Milan decree; though unjust in the highest degree, and unprecedented among civilized nations, the captors did not scruple to stretch their power still farther by INHUMANLY driving the capt. and crew in the most insulting manner from the ship, the moment she was admitted to pratique, which they PILLAGED in the most flagrant manner, employing her cables, rigging, sails, &c. in the service of the privateer. Also detained by the Josephine, brig Mercury, Bradford of Plymouth, from Boston, fish, sugar, butter, &c papers sent to Paris, and her cargo sold by the French consul. Detained by the Prince Jerome, of 2 guns and 23 men, the following American vessels, taken entering the bay; ships Ranger, from Tangiers; Anna, Bradford, ditto; Hannah, ditto; Diana, Noble, of Boston, ditto; briggs Reward Thompson, ditto; Mayflower, Buntin, ditto; ship Minerva, from Rotterdam. Ship Neptune of Portland had been at anchor several days and was on the point of sailing, when the Jerome's boat boarded her, and took possession of all her papers. On the departure of the Sally, they had not all passed examination at the French consul's inquisition, nor none of their papers yet sent forward.
NEW-YORK, May 13.
The Osage in England. — A gentleman in this city, received per the Allegheny, a letter from the editor of a Greenock paper, dated on the evening of the 9th of April, stating, that he had just received from his London correspondent, advice of the arrival of the packet Osage, captain Duplex, at Falmouth from L'Orient, with Mr. Nourse, the messenger, on board.
PARIS, (Kentucky) April 19.
On Thursday last we received intelligence by some gentlemen on their way from Natchez, that a party of the Creek nation of Indians, ten in number, on Sunday the 3d instant, attacked a crew of men trading up the Tennessee river in a perogue, fifteen miles above the mouth of Duck. The crew consisted of seven men, mostly Kentuckians, commanded by capt. Mortimer, of which two were killed and three badly wounded: one of the men killed, we are sorry to say, is Mr. Edward

Porter, brother to captain John Porter, of this place; the other was Mr. Hervey, of Mason county. Captain Mortimer was wounded in four places, one of which was through the wrist.
From the information it appears there were no circumstances which could justify the attack. Some of the Indians went in a canoe to the perogue to buy powder and whiskey, and upon their being told there was none, they went off muttering, and were overheard to say in English "damn them they had some for they smelt it." A young man which captain Mortimer had hired on the Tennessee river, to assist in navigating the boat, told him he knew some of the Indians, and that they had a spite against him, and that if the captain did not put him on shore, they would probably kill the whole crew: he was accordingly landed, but the Indians ran down and fired on them; and continued the fire for several hundred yards down the river. Mr. Hervey returned the only fire, after receiving his mortal wound. The crew retreated to the mouth of Richland creek, where they buried our two unfortunately murdered countrymen in as decent a manner as their circumstances would admit.
A company of men was raised, and went in pursuit of the Indians, but had not overtaken them when these gentlemen left there. An express was likewise sent to their nation. One of the wounded it was thought would not recover.
Mr. Helm, of Mason county, was one of the gentlemen who brought the intelligence, and received his information from Mr. Masters, one of the crew, and brother in law to Mr. Hervey, who was killed.
Mr. Helm further states, that as he passed through the Chickasaw nation, he was told that the Creek nation had determined to go to war with the whites, and that the six towns of the Choctaws had joined them. A party of the Creeks had been in the Old Town for some time, persuading the Chickasaws to go to war; and he was cautioned to take care of the Cherokees, as it was believed that they would join the Creeks. When he arrived at the Cherokee nation, he found them holding their war dance: their warriors wore red beads, carried knife, tomahawk and scalps, but offered no violence to any of his party. The Chickasaws appeared friendly, and said if the whites would send an army, they would assist to drive off the Creeks and Cherokees.
SAVANNAH, April 26. Letters from Darien, received this morning, mention a sad disaster having happened to the boat conveying the mail from Darien to St. Mary's. On the 21st inst. about 1 o'clock, P. M. two miles below Frederica, she was struck when in stays, endeavoring to avoid it, by a whirlwind, which upset and sunk her, being ballasted with 56 pound weights. Two monks, late in this city, soliciting contributions for the convent of St. Gothard, in Switzerland, who were passengers, unfortunately perished. The remainder of the people (three whites and four blacks) with the mail are saved. The body of one of the monks has since been picked up, and near two hundred dollars in gold found on it.

FRIDAY, MAY 20.
TO HIS EXCELLENCY THOMAS JEFFERSON, PRESIDENT OF THE U. STATES. SIR,
You are, undoubtedly, aware, of the critical situation of this country at present; and you cannot but feel the responsibility you are under to every class of citizens in his country.—You have acted in a manner to incur the just indignation of every man in the U. States, and merit the most scrutinizing examination it is possible to give to your political conduct.—When I look back to the better and more auspicious days of WASHINGTON and ADAMS, and compare the happy times with our present degraded condition, insulted by every foe who may think us worth notice, and marauded by every picaroon who may wish to prey upon our trade; I regret Sir, that the mistaken people of these states, did not examine every part of our country, and try if they could not find a man better qualified than yourself; a man, who was not avowedly partial to any country, who had never aped the manners, and courted the smiles, of any people on earth.—You, Sir, without the least shadow of doubt, possess a partiality for France, which can never end but with your existence!—When residing there, a minister of this country, you acquired a tincture of their manners and refinements, which will be felt by Americans when your misdeeds are forgotten.—Your hatred for England, is as conspicuous in every action of your life, as your partiality is for the nation that is aiming a death blow at our liberties.—In your communications to Congress, for years past, you never hinted at our relative situation with France; but the most trifling intrusion of the British, holds a conspicuous place in those voluminous details.—You appear to have the internal situation of our lacerated country, no more at heart, than our external relations.—You recommended an embargo—For what? To let the produce of the farmer lay in his granary and rot; his credit to be ruined, and his property sacrificed to pay trifling contracts.—I would ask, Sir, what class of citizens this law was designed to serve? Was it the merchants? No—the failures throughout the United States, give the lie to the assertion, and plainly shew that they are no longer able to support their credit, when the means by which they made a livelihood are denied them.
Was it the mechanics? No—they too feel the pernicious effects of this wretched measure—a measure dictated by your timidity, and not half executed. After it had become a law!—Amendment upon amendment, was tacked to this hundred-headed monster, until it has become so ponderous, that you know not how to use it.—The people of this country it is to be hoped will open their eyes, and be no longer deluded, by permitting pretended philosophers, and quacks, to stand at the helm of our public affairs; without the ability, or courage, necessary for so arduous a task.—I, for one shall rejoice, when I see men placed at the head of our affairs, on whose abilities in the cabinet, and courage in the field, I can depend—I have done for the present, being certain that when you no longer move the springs of our government, we shall enjoy peace and happiness. CURTIVS. May 12, 1808.
By a gentleman directly from Vermont, we are informed, that in an attempt of the inhabitants to take a large raft to Montreal, contrary to the embargo laws, they were resisted on Lake Champlain by two sloops belonging to the government—when an action took place, in which fourteen or fifteen men were wounded. The raft made its escape and proceeded to its place of destination. (Utica Patriot.)
Extract of a letter from an American merchant, to another in this city, dated PARIS, March 11.
"All cases of capture or seizure of American property, which have occurred under the Milan decree remain suspended; and the council of prizes has positive orders not to proceed in them, till further instructed; and it is believed the emperor will decide nothing, before he knows the result of Mr. Rose's mission. If matters are arranged with England, I fear that all the American property now under sequestration, as well as that captured, will be confiscated and condemned: but if on the contrary, the negotiation with England is broken off, it is confidently expected that all American property will be immediately released. Every American here was much gratified with the news of the embargo; and certainly those who disapproved of the measure at the time, will acknowledge its wisdom and salutary effect after hearing of the British orders of the 11th November and of the French decree of 17th December." "Every ship detained at home by the embargo has been saved from capture by
the British or sequestration by the French whose conduct has been equally unjust and injurious; I hope it will be continued till they both agree to respect our neutrality."
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, to a respectable mercantile house in New York, dated the 27th of March, 1808.
"The Osage arrived at L'Orient on the 22d instant, in 23 days from New York, and her dispatches have gone to Paris. We are anxiously waiting their result, which I am very apprehensive will not be of a very satisfactory nature, as this government will not probably suspend the operations of the late decrees on the American commerce unless the U. S. will join the confederacy against England. It is also to be feared that the negotiation with the British government will not take a more fortunate turn, unless their present peculiar situation should induce them to abandon principles, of which they have hitherto been obstinately tenacious."
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated the 30th of March, received at New York by the ship Connecticut from St. Lucar.
"The Prince of Peace has been declared a traitor, his whole property and estates are confiscated, and he is now in prison in chains. Charles the 4th has abdicated the throne in favor of his son, the prince of Asturias, who has been proclaimed king of Spain, under the title of Ferdinand the 7th. The emperor of France is now in Madrid, where he arrived the 24th inst. 15,000 French troops have entered Madrid, and there are about 50,000 in the country, on their march towards the place, where they were momentarily expected." "This revolution has been effected without much bloodshed. The government has given official notice that the intention of the French emperor, in taking possession of all Spain, is to protect it from the English. Our relations with this country will, of course, be regulated by those of France; and you may be certain that if we are respected by France we shall be doubly so by Spain, and vice versa."
We learn verbally that for fourteen days previous to the execution of the prince of Peace, he was daily brought out of his prison, and exposed in the public market place to the insults and derision of the populace. In the orders respecting the confiscation of his property he is designated only as Don Manuel Godoy.
In consequence of the changes in Madrid, the revolutionary besom will be exercised in all the Spanish colonies. In most instances the principal officers have been appointed by the advice of the prince of peace. (Mercantile Advertiser.)
A letter from an American capt. at Algesiras, dated March 18, mentioning the receipt of a letter from Mr. Meade, at Cadiz, acquainting that the brig Sally of Philadelphia, had been released there. She had not been taken on her passage, by any British cruiser, nor had her register endorsed; but off the Western islands had been boarded by a British privateer. After which she voluntarily entered Cadiz harbour, and was there several days when it was discovered she had been boarded, whereupon she was seized by officers of the government. Whether this instance is a proof of a favorable intention, as to vessels whose registers were endorsed, and the vessels forced into Spanish ports, is subject to conjecture. Strong hopes however are entertained. Government had ordered samples to be taken of the flour on board detained vessels at Algesiras, and it was supposed intended to buy, if they were released; but some doubts were entertained of the goodness of government pay. (Ibid.)
It is probable that the revolution in Spain, will retard decisions on the American vessels so long detained at Algesiras, and other ports in that country. (Ibid.)

Where Cupid strikes his arrows fast, In Hymen's bands they'll join at last, None after this shall need despair, Who read the ages of this pair.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-general of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts, I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle of mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine-street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance as in the other, a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restored a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—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; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 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 I was recommended to apply at George Dobbin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint ; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
