TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
MONDAY, October 5.
[Julian Depestre's affidavit concluded]
We arrived at Marietta the 26th August, and the 27th we went to visit Mr Blannerhasset on his island—we dined and passed the night there; the 28th we came back to Marietta, and the 29th we took the road to Chillicothe, where we arrived the thirty first.
The 2d of September I left colonel Burr about 20 miles from Chillicothe, he pursuing his journey to Cincinnati, where I declined going with him, having an intention of visiting Upper Louisiana, and fearing my time was already too short; from that time I have not seen him (except a moment at Louisville) where I had spent a few days with my friends; that was about the 16th of September. At my return about the 20th of October I found him again at Lexington, busy and much engaged with old papers and others; he told me he had made the purchase of the Ouachita lands of which he had spoken to me, and offered to accommodate me with as much as I pleased for the same price it cost him; I acknowledged this mark of friendship; but told him that I declined for the moment, because I wanted to see and provide for my family; he then asked me if I had renounced to take part in the Spanish war, if there was one; I told him that there was none yet, that even it was my opinion there would be none, but that in case there should be one, if he was pleased to send me word of it, and of the situation in the army he would have obtained for me, I would be on the spot as soon as himself; he agreed I was right, but told me he believed there would be a war, and he hoped that I should stay a day to take his letters. I agreed, and the next day he sent me a letter for Mr. H. B. Latrobe, which I delivered at my passage at Washington City.
The deponent, on cross-examination on the part of colonel Burr, being asked the following questions, viz.
Q Did you, when at Morgan's, hear colonel Burr talk of any military expedition, or of a separation from the union?
A No, except during the dinner, when old Mr Morgan began once or twice to speak about the rumors of a separation of the western from the eastern states; but colonel Burr seemed not willing to engage in such conversation, and did all he could to get rid of it, seeming more pleased with the conversation of the ladies.
Q Were you generally near colonel Burr or separately engaged. Did you see him engage in particular conversation during that visit?
A I heard the Morgans' give their testimony, and I do not know for my part, when such long conversations could take place; it was not before me, and colonel Burr was but very little time absent from me; after dinner I left him with the company, and went with old Mr Morgan into the garden where colonel Burr came & joined us with the ladies, about 15 minutes after; we were together all the remaining of the day, in the walks we took, and visits we made, except when I was abed, colonel Burr took the candle, and went out the doors for a few minutes, and then came back to his bed.
Q Did you hear colonel Burr, during the time you was with him, talk of a separation of the western from the eastern states?
A Never; I only remember that in almost all the houses we stopped to, people would often engage a conversation with us upon that subject; but colonel Burr would always laugh at the idea.
Q Did it appear to you that he was or he was not, seriously interested in making some new establishment in lands?
A His project of purchasing lands on the Ouachita was a more general topic of our conversation when we were travelling, and he seemed anxious to prevail upon me to engage in it.
Q In what state of mind was then old Mr Morgan?
A We were told that he had been of late very sick, and he appeared to me quite in dotage.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, November 10.
DEBATE on MR. G. W. CAMPBELL's motion to fill up the bill on the naval establishment.
(CONTINUED.)
Mr. G. W. Campbell said he would make but a few additional remarks on the subject; the committee of ways and means had conceived they had done their duty by taking the only means in their power to acquire information. He was surprised that there could be a division of sentiment among the members of the house with regard to the manner of making this appropriation. He declared that he still held the same principles he had always maintained so far as respected specific appropriations; but a case might happen in which they might be dispensed with, as cases of emergency required extraordinary remedies. After making some remarks on what had been said respecting heretical doctrines, and deviations from republican principles, he assured the gentleman on his right (Mr. Randolph) that he was the last whose political principles he should follow. The gentleman from Connecticut had said the house were called upon to make appropriations, but had not been specifically informed what expenditures they were to cover. The objects of the appropriations had been detailed to the house by the letter from the secretary of the navy, and by members on the floor. It did not appear to be the desire of the gentleman to know for what particulars the expenditure had been made, but whether they were actually paid for or not; this he must say appeared to him perfectly immaterial, and that if the occasion was sufficient to justify the expenses incurred, the appropriation was proper and ought to be made. He thought the taking money from an appropriation to one object, and applying it to another, might be admitted in such an emergency which might also warrant the executive in incurring expenses not authorized by law.
Mr. Randolph observed, that he understood the gentleman from Tennessee to say, that he should not apply to him for instruction in political principles. He would assure the gentleman he was one of the last persons he should wish to instruct; and when he wanted pupils he should not solicit him to become one. Mr. R. said he had been involved in this debate prematurely. He had heard the order of the day stated from the chair, and no person called it up. He then walked out of the house in search of a book; from the extraordinary echo of this large room, there being great difficulty in hearing and being heard, when he returned he had not distinctly understood the question.
He wished to be understood as giving his vote upon the same ground with his friend and colleague who had just sat down. The expense having been incurred by the patriotism of our citizens, it would be an indelible disgrace not to discharge it. But in doing this he did not mean to commit himself as voting for a navy, or the expenses arising out of a navy, except in a case such as the present, where a debt had been actually incurred.
The gentleman from Pennsylvania had agreed with him perfectly in professions; he had therefore nothing more to do than to ask him, as he had heretofore done, to act with him. This gentleman, as indeed every other gentleman had taken a wide range on this question. In the first place, the expenses were not authorized by law; an enquiry had been made why they had been incurred without authority, and a reason assigned that there was a great crisis, an insult had been received which every man must feel: in short, the circumstances were such that the legislature ought to have been convened. The gentleman from Pennsylvania had urged as a reason for their not being convened, that our health might be endangered by coming here so early in the season. He wished his old friend from Pennsylvania, he hoped he might be permitted to call him so, would convey them to a place where they might be convened without danger. Another reason is, that they would have been convened at a time when they would have felt a deep and particular sense of national indignity. Mr. R. said he thought they
ought to have been summoned then, and not to have suffered this impression to be weakened. There was a time when that gentleman and some other gentlemen, in discussing a subject which they called British aggressions, were as warm as he was disposed to be temperate; now that gentleman was as temperate as he was warm. Which had the better reason? He deemed it to be the interest of this nation to preserve peace with all mankind, to hold the balance of humanity with a steady hand. He had before deemed it the interest of the country to be at peace with G. Britain, for reasons which he had before urged, on that floor, and which he would not state again, but now, tempora mutantur . The nation had received a blow. The president has been insulted in his palace by the minister of one foreign power, and now had received a blow on his cheek from the navy of another.
Mr. Smith said that he was perhaps more temperate than his friend from Virginia; but he hoped when that gentleman arrived to his period of life, he would be equally temperate with him. Yet he did possess a temper, and could display it when our violated rights were the subject. Mr. S. then alluded to an ancient nation, who were wont to discuss great national questions twice, once when they were drunk, that they might not want spirit, and once when they were sober, that they might not be deficient in prudence. And he did believe, however others thought, that prudence required a temperate course, and that they ought not to have been under the immediate influence of passion when they took their seats on this occasion.
The question was now taken on the rising of the committee, and carried. The amendments, agreed to in committee, were all agreed to without a division, except that making an appropriation for timber, on which the house divided—ayes 103; when the bill was ordered to a third reading to morrow.
Tuesday, November 10.
The question being on the final passage of the bill and the yeas and nays on the passage being called for,
Mr. J. Montgomery said, that as the yeas and nays had been required he should exercise the right of assigning reasons for the vote he was about to give. This bill provided for extraordinary expenses incurred in the navy department since the 22d June last; these extraordinary expenses had resulted from the cowardly attack committed by the Leopard on the Chesapeake. This act, marked with such daring and atrocious circumstances, had excited the detestation of every American; one sentiment on this subject prevailed the Union. The president of the United States had adopted firm, energetic, and dignified measures on the occasion; amongst others those which had occasioned the expenses for which this bill provides. He had heard no complaint that the conduct of the executive was defective either in prudence or energy. He was authorised, and he exercised the authority vested in him by law, to call out the marine corps to its full complement. He had exercised the authority given to him by the act of 1806, in preparing the gun boats for service: the sense of the nation & the exigency of the times called upon him to do so. Other expenses incident to calling out the marine corps and manning gun boats, were comprised under the different articles of clothing, &c. These extraordinary expenses the president was authorised to incur; the state of the country justified him in exercising that authority, and Mr. M. was of opinion that the honor of the nation called upon the house to make the appropriation. Then, as to these extraordinary expenses which had been incurred, there could be no difficulty; their honor was at stake for the payment. There was another item which he presumed would meet with as little difficulty as any other; he was instructed to say, as a member of the committee of ways and means, that the provisions specified in the bill were used by the militia called out for the protection of the port most in danger. Was there any member in the house who would hesitate to make an appropriation of 31,000 dollars for that purpose?
At this important juncture, when our country was in danger, the executive had examined the state of the several departments; in the war department there were sufficient supplies of military stores; in the navy department there were none, except a few pounds of powder. At this alarming crisis, the country being threatened with war, the people looked up to the president for energetic conduct: he did not hesitate to make expenditures to supply these necessaries for the department.
Of the navy department there was more required than of the war department, because the outrage had been committed on the ocean. What more prudent, more correct conduct than that of the president could be wished, or what more could the people expect, than that he should have made the necessary provisions of ordnance and military stores, and timber for gun boats? The president had judged it expedient to make preparation; and the state of affairs had called for a warlike attitude; for, said Mr. M. we have learnt from our departed Washington, that to command peace we must be prepared for war; the president had acted upon this principle, which the house would no doubt approve. There was no law at that time, nor had any law yet been passed, to authorise the purchase of these articles; but the president of the U. S. when his country was in danger, hesitated not to take upon himself the credit and proper responsibility. Upon these items which was the language of the president of the U. S. contained in the message delivered to us? Strong and forcible, and clearly showing the necessity for incurring these expenses: "The moment our peace was threatened, I deemed it indispensable to secure a greater provision of those articles of military stores, with which our magazines were not sufficiently furnished. To have awaited a previous and special sanction by law, would have lost occasions which might not be retrieved. I did not hesitate therefore to authorise engagements for such supplements to our existing stock as would render it adequate to the emergencies threatening us: and I trust that the legislature feeling the same anxiety for the safety of our country so materially advanced by this precaution, will approve when done, what they would have seen so important to be done, if then assembled."
[Mr. Montgomery's speech to be continued.]
Late Foreign Intelligence.
HAGUE Sept. 3
Decree against English Commerce.
Louis Napoleon, by the grace of God and the constitution of the kingdom, king of Holland. Considering that, consistent with the true interest of our kingdom, it is our duty by all the means in our power, to co-operate in the desired execution of the great measures adopted by the emperor and king, against the common enemy, for the purpose of obtaining a general peace and the independence of the seas—considering that some subaltern agents have rendered themselves criminal by want of firmness and neglect in the execution of our measures directed by our decree of the 15th of December 1806—considering the artifice and bad faith which have been employed in several ports of the enemy, with respect to the papers of neutral vessels, and by which the health of Europe was put to hazard by making out letters of quarantine—considering finally, that all those irregularities ought to be terminated at a moment so critical for the enemy of the whole continent, and in particular of all commercial states; and that the honour and dearest interest of our subjects would be compromised, were the strict execution of the laws and decrees passed for this purpose overlooked—we have therefore decreed as follows:—
Art. 1 The agents arrested in consequence of the orders of our minister of justice and police, shall be brought before the competent courts to answer for their conduct according to the laws.
2. The vessels stopped in our harbors a list of which is subjoined, shall be decided upon by the competent tribunals.
3. Reckoning from the date of the present decree, all vessels entering inwards shall give a double security, which shall remain until the legality of their papers be fully acknowledged, and until it be proved that these vessels have not touched at an enemy's port.
4. In case the papers should be false, or it should appear that contrary to the declaration of the captain, the ship had touched at an enemy's port, the double security shall be immediately demanded of the sureties, and the amount paid into the public treasury.
5. As soon as the security shall be settled, the delivery of the ships may take place, in presence of the persons appointed to superintend it by the minister of finance, who shall take care that the orders do not unload any articles which may be presumed to be English merchandise.
6. If it should be proved that the goods are of English manufacture, or have come from an enemy's port, they shall not only be confiscated, for the benefit of the public treasury, but the double security shall also be levied, and the ship shall be obliged

put to sea; and the same shall, in case of bad weather, have no shelter, except under the strictest precautions. 7. All correspondence, journals, &c. which come in a neutral flag, shall be seized and burnt. 8. All passengers or travellers, who can prove that they do not come from the British isles, shall immediately be sent out of the kingdom. 9. All prohibitory regulations respecting commerce with England remain in full force, in so far as they are not altered by the present decree. 10. All who contravene the present regulations shall be tried and punished for disobeying the laws. 11. Our minister of finance is solely and personally answerable for the strict execution of these regulations. Our minister at war shall place at his disposal all troops and vessels as he may demand.
LONDON, September 27. The following letter, dated at Rotterdam the 7th Sept. and from one of the first merchants in that city, will give an opinion of the effects or provisions to which the above decree is limited.
Rotterdam, Sept. 14. Since our last, the government of this kingdom has prohibited all intercourse with Great Britain; and several vessels arrived thence, have been refused admittance and obliged to put back. As for the correspondence with England, we think that other channels will be left open to convey remittances, for account of Americans in England. American vessels bound to this country, should not touch in British ports, unnecessarily stressed of weather, or otherwise, which they will [must] be able to produce sufficient proof here. The above mentioned decree will tend to raise the price of colonial articles—White Java coffee, in small bags, 20 to 21 silvers. This month and the next, are those in which there is generally the most demand for the upper country.
The gazette announces that the vigorous blockade of the rivers Elbe, Weser and Trave, is discontinued for the present; and neutrals will be suffered to trade at the said rivers, provided such vessels are going from or to a neutral or British port, and shall not be trading, nor shall have previously traded, between either of the said rivers, and any port or place in the possession, or so far under the control of the enemy, as that British vessels may not freely trade therein nor from one to another of the said rivers. At the time may not be far distant when Portugal will be compelled to employ her navy against us unless some precautionary measures be taken to prevent it, the following list of it may not perhaps be unacceptable. Several of them are unfit for service;
13 ships of the line 74 and 80 guns 14 frigates 36 and 44 guns 10 brigs 14 and 20 guns 2 sloops 12 and 16 guns Some of these vessels are very hand-some, and equal to any in the British navy according to the opinion of Lord St. Vincent who inspected several of them when they were in the Brazils, and is more like iron than wood, but the Portuguese seamen are the best of our navy, and only superior perhaps to the French in their art of handling their vessels. In the present state of the fortifications on the Tagus, it would be no difficult enterprise to destroy or bring off the whole of their navy by a coup de main. Don Juan is stated to have set out for Rio Janeiro, to take the command of the troops there; and it is again mentioned that he is going on an important mission to Lisbon.
The French funds are now so high as 3-4. They were under ten when Bonaparte took upon himself the government. ARTICLES OF CAPITULATION. For the town and citadel of Copenhagen surrendered between admiral Gambier and general the right hon lord Cathcart K. C.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16. The ship Eliza, captain Crocker, left Liverpool, on the 29th September, which is only two or three days antecedent to the alarming accounts by the ship Sansom. Captain Crocker informs, that Mr. Munroe had taken his passage in the ship Pochahontas, at Liverpool and would shortly sail for Baltimore; but that his departure did not occasion a belief that our affairs with that country were in a worse state than they had been; for the general opinion among the merchants of Liverpool was, that all differences would be amicably settled. In confirmation of this, the letters to the owner of the Eliza, express a similar belief, and his goods were shipped agreeably to his order, as usual. The alarm, then, occasioned by the London Star, (to use the language of an old and respectable physician of this city) so far from being a fixed one of those nocturnal illuminations which arise in the bosom of the night, which only shines while its motion continues and the moments of its rest and obscurity, are one and the same.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19. A letter received from captain Felt of Salem, dated at Palermo, mentions the massacre of 15,000 Christians at Constantinople by the Turks. A vessel has arrived at Boston in a short passage from Bordeaux. Letters brought by her were received in town on Saturday dated the 2d October. (N. Y. Mer. Adv.)
Tuesday on the opening of the house of representatives, Mr. Lyon said some proceedings had come to his knowledge which he wished to expose, which he should do with closed doors; on which the galleries were immediately cleared, and unable to a standing rule of the house. Mr. Lyon then submitted the following resolution: Resolved , That provision ought to be made by law, forbidding all transfers of rights of action, and of all monies and other property either real or personal to or by any subject of the crown of Great Britain, and also forbidding any citizen or resident in the U. S. paying any debt or demand to any such subject. Mr. Lyon, on offering this resolution, observed that he had understood that Mr. Erskine, the British minister, had recently transferred stock possessed by his father to a large amount in the American funds. He said he considered this as a strong indication of hostility on the part of England towards this country. He expressed the opinion that Britain had in numerous instances so infringed the treaty between the two countries that it could no longer be considered as obligatory on the U. S. who consequently possessed the moral right of declining, on her part, to respect those stipulations, whose observance might be injurious to her. He said that he thought it became the U. S. in the present state of affairs, to hold such pledges as she possessed against the acts of injustice which might be committed by Britain, and that by adopting this resolution, she would retain in her hands the means of indemnity, in case such acts should be committed; and if they should not, no injury could ensue from its adoption. A universal sentiment was unreservedly expressed that such a step at this time was improper. Not a single member supported the resolution; but all censured its imprudence. The general opinion was that if persisted in by the mover, the doors should be instantly opened, and the resolution rejected in public. Mr. Lyon then withdrew the resolution, and the galleries were opened under the understanding that all secrecy was at an end. The foregoing contains, we believe, a faithful statement of the substance of the discussion, if such indeed it can be called. More cannot be expected. THE STAR a London paper.
It may not be amiss to observe, that this paper has been uniformly opposed to America; and ever since the affair of the Chesapeake, has breathed hostility on all our demands for satisfaction: while other English prints have advocated the cause of the American government. It was from the STAR we copied the late alarming news relative to the prospect of a failure of our negotiations with that country—and it is from this paper of the 28th of September, we copy the following remarks on the late interdiction of the Dutch government. (N. Y. Gaz.) “Bonaparte's system, for some time, has been to employ every means in his power to exclude us entirely from the continent of Europe, and he has now got all the different States so completely under his controul that no choice seems to be left this country but to fight him with his own weapons, and destroy at once every vestige of a system of neutrality. “Such we understand to be the determination which our government is now resolved on. For some time past the protection afforded to neutral flags has been of service only to France—in point of fact no neutrality has been permitted by her, but what was for her own benefit—nay, so inveterate has been the spirit with which Napoleons decree of blockade has been enforced, that even neutral vessels which have been captured and brought into British ports, and afterwards released and permitted to prosecute their voyages, have been seized and condemned on entering a French port—for having been in an English harbor on their voyage. “On this point we have a fact to state which will strike many of our readers with surprise. Several American vessels (some of which we could name were it necessary) have been seized in French ports under the above mentioned circumstances; but the American government have employed no bullying—no threats—nor any intemperate language similar to that with which their journals have been filled against this country. This conduct requires no comment on our part—it requires action, vigour and inflexible adherence to the spirit of those maritime laws by which the commerce of nations used to be governed in times of war—but extended in its principle to meet & counteract the machinations of an enemy, whose conduct is not circumscribed by any of those principles which were formerly allowed to operate for the diminution of the mass of evils which are inseparable from times of hostility.”

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
Of the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to this 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
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 or 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. Mollhier 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, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
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 place 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, Glets, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other 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 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 Debbin 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 23d, 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 it was recommended to apply at George Debbin 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.
