The Stages South of Alexandria.
ON the first of October next the Mail Stage will commence running as follows between Alexandria and Petersburg in Virginia:
Will leave Alexandria every day at 6 o'clock in the evening, and arrive at Dumfries by 5 in the morning—Leave Dumfries at 6 and arrive at Fredericksburg by 11 1-2 in the morning—Leave Fredericksburg at 12 (noon) and arrive at Richmond the next morning by 6—Leave Richmond at 6 1-2 and arrive at Petersburg by 11 1-2 in the morning.
Returning, will leave Petersburg every day at 12 1-2 P. M. and arrive at Alexandria in the same time. This stage will carry no more than 2 passengers on any account whatever, and not more than 14 lb. of baggage can be allowed to each passenger.
An Accommodation Stage between Alexandria and Petersburg will also commence running at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sundays, and will travel only in the day time.—On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Stafford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericksburg—The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

AN ADDRESS To Christians of every Denomination IN THE UNITED STATES; ON THE Subject of the ensuing Presidential Election.
[CONCLUDED.]
Friends, countrymen, and fellow Christians, ponder well these things. You have many reasons for regarding the Secretary of State as an unbeliever. You have no reason to regard him as a Christian. He has never shown you his faith by his works: no, nor by his professions either; so that you may presume, without uncharitableness, that it does not exist. Nay, he probably would not thank you for allowing him any credit on the score of discipleship to a system, a belief in which he considers as an instance of great imbecility of mind.* So far from wishing to be esteemed a believer in this system, he may possibly value himself in soaring above such vulgar prejudices, and, with other sublime speculators on man, perceive such a degree of perfectibility in his nature, as may ensure his happiness without any reference to another world.
Who but must smile, if such a man there be; Who would not weep, if Madison were he?
Weep indeed, with tears of blood, should we see the supreme executive power of a Christian nation vested in a man, who probably conceives Christianity with all its doctrines and sanctions to be nothing more than a cunningly devised fable, or something still more despicable? O! that I possessed a voice that could speak in thunder from Maine to Georgia, and echo through all our borders the awful injunction:
"Discite justitiam monu, et non temnere Divos."†—Virgil.
Full solemnly indeed are we warned to this national duty. The further we extend our researches, political, or historical, the less do we find any thing, which, in governments and states, and in the revolutions of governments, is absolutely new in kind, but in degree, new beyond comparison. The infidelity and profaneness of hereditary rulers do not always involve the guilt, or carry with them the punishment of nations. As the people do not concur in their elevation, so neither do they always partake in their crimes. Whole profligate dynasties have been swept away without any material disadvantage to the people at large. The expulsion of the Stuarts proved a signal blessing to Great Britain and Ireland. But this is not the case with America. The sins of her rulers will be visited upon their constituents; upon those who deliberately either mediately or immediately, invest them with the execution of the laws, and thus constitute them the delegates of Heaven upon earth. What an awful responsibility is this! and if it be disregarded by professing Christians, can they be surprised, if they do not find mercy in this day of wrath, horror and convulsion? Let any dispassionate observer contemplate the national appearances of the present moment, the close of the eight years of Mr. Jefferson's elevation. Let him look steadfastly at the signs of the times, and say whether they do not portend disasters of no common magnitude; whether the warnings of the Lord are not abroad in the land, to caution this most favored nation against the repetition of an offence, which on the score of inadvertence and partial ignorance he is pleased, for once, perhaps to overlook. Another deliberate choice of an unbelieving president, may very probably fill up the measure of our guilt, and then the storm which is hovering over the country will burst upon it with a desolating violence, which no mortal power can arrest. "Bodies of men," says an animated Christian writer, "are punishable in this world only. In eternity there are no families, churches or nations. If, therefore, a country is to be destroyed, it is tried, and condemned, and executed here below. When we see an individual sinner prospering in the world, and not immediately punished, our faith is not staggered; for we know that his day is coming. But if a wicked people were allowed to escape, we should be confounded; we should ask: "where is the God of judgment. For, in this case, they are not punished now: and they cannot be punished hereafter." O! my fellow Christians, by
* The Secretary once told a respectable character still living, after some sarcasms on the Christian religion, that it was all a fable, and would no more promote salvation than the fabulous legends of the heathen oracles.
† Learn to do justice, and severe religion." See Jay's sermon, The nature of a kingdom.
whatever name we are called, O! perceive a native American, a sincere lover of his country, and one who glories in his membership with the household of faith, to call your attention to this awful subject. It is no party question, which you are invited to discuss. Whether a federal or a democratic republican be the object of your choice, is not a matter that involves the inviolability of conscience. "The kingdom of God is not of this world." It may be established in the hearts of those, whose temporal preferences may be in opposite directions. It may flourish in the monarchist, and in the republican through all the changes and varieties of these political denominations. But, it surely possesses no place in his esteem and affections, who, on his bended knees can say, in the morning, "Thy kingdom come," and yet, before the close of the day, can bestow his suffrage on the opposer of this kingdom: who, with the same breath can join with the faithful in Hozannas to the Most High, and "in crucify him, away with him," with the enemies of his ministers, and the scoffers at his name.
Fellow Christians of every denomination! Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Methodists, Baptists, Roman Catholics, Friends, Moravians, and ye of every other name, who all profess to adore and serve the Eternal, and to love the Lord Jesus in sincerity, let your religious principles have their natural influence upon your conduct on this occasion, and the purpose of this address will be fully answered. A candid recurrence to these principles will readily induce the warmest admirer, both of the president and secretary, to say to himself, shall I continue to esteem Mr. Jefferson, shall I continue to respect Mr. Madison, when this esteem and respect interferes with my God and his righteous cause? The kingdom of God and his righteousness in every occurrence of life, must be the principal object of a Christian's attention. The highest pretensions to sanctity will otherwise incur the suspicion of insincerity, if not of hypocrisy. Can, for instance, a devout disciple of the zealous Calvin, who adheres to the system of that illustrious reformer, because he deems it calculated, more than any other, to promote the supremacy of the divine agency in man, to level every lofty pretension of the human heart, and to establish the sovereignty of the Lord Jesus upon the ruins of innate pride and presumption—can such a person, I say, contribute deliberately to place a man at the head of a nation, who, disregarding or despising the humbling doctrines of the cross, has been always regarded as an admirer of that system, which in direct contradiction to the spirit of the gospel contemplates the perfectability of man, and is ever suggesting wild experiments upon this sandy foundation—who denies the original depravity of human nature, though continually experiencing its effects in himself, and observing them in his fellow men?
Can the Episcopalian, with hosts of illustrious champions in the cause of religion full in view, with the animating recollection of a Boyle, a Newton, a Hale, an Addison, a Johnson a Cowper, and other innumerable worthies; with the cheering examples of the godly & learned Prelates & Divines who have sealed with their blood, and illustrated by their writings, the sacred tenets of their faith; who have contributed so powerfully, and (God be praised) so effectually to stem the torrent of mad Philosophy, let loose, in judgment, upon the continent of Europe, and actually sweeping away all the ancient boundaries of law, liberty, and religion—can the Episcopalian, I say, with these glorious pateres before his eyes; with the Christian doctrines of his church operating upon his heart; endeavor to promote a man, as the object of his choice, whose partiality to French governors and French opinions, must create a hatred to what he well knows to be among the principal bulwarks of Christendom?
What shall I say to my brethren of the Methodist society? or rather what would the zealous and indefatigable Mr. Wesley say to them, on the present occasion? With all the powers of his persuasive eloquence, he would remind his followers of the deadly guilt in which they must be involved, who, on any account, take part with an influence, whether religious or political, that bears upon its forehead any marks of Antichrist. In a voice whispering the soft admonitions of love, or thundering out the terrors of the law, he would display the imminent danger connected with intercommunion with Belial; he would say of every sect evincing any interest in the success of Apollyon,* the great exterminator: "Come out of her, my people, that ye partake not of her plagues;" promote no man to power, who is not a follower of the Lamb, and bears about him no marks of the Redeemer. Remember, O my beloved children! the long
and painful labors of your aged father in calling sinners to repentance, in elucidating the feelings, in demonstrating the power and the comforts of religion, and then tell me, will ye choose that man to rule over you, who derides these feelings, denies his power, and despises these comforts? Let the disciples of John Wesley listen to his warm voice, and no methodist will be found among the Secretary's supporters.
Fellow Christians of the Baptist society! ye whom the spirit of God has prompted to send forth, with peculiar zeal, the heralds of salvation among the heathen; whose missionary spirit is highly cheering and obliging to the church of Christ; whose zeal in promoting his kingdom seems ardent and unabating; will ye not shun the foul reproach of pulling down with one hand, the heavenly kingdom, which ye strive so earnestly to establish with the other? In advancing an unbeliever to the presidential chair, what answer would ye return to the sacred objector who should tell you, that the version of a Pagan Nabob in India would but ill compensate for the elevation of a Biblical citizen at home: and that the sanctity of those who will ever question the, who sacrifice, in the smallest degree, the interests of religion to the spirit of party.
Roman Catholics of America! I presume it is almost needless to claim your attention on this occasion. Your feelings, as well as your opinions, must beat in unison with the spirit of this address. You cannot surely contemplate two of your venerable pontiffs insulted, vilified, degraded, and plundered by an impious power, professedly Anti-Christian, and yet contribute to counteract that power, to augment and establish it, by placing at the head of the American nation, a man notoriously devoted to that power, and opposed to every exertion that is making to control it. What but ye of the horrid sacrifice perpetrated at this moment by the armies of France in the temples of Spain? of the profligate committal against some of the most sacred objects of your religious veneration? Never did the Goths or the Moors insult, with less atrocity, the emblems of your worship—Think of the gallant Spaniards rising up to repel these atheistical invaders of their country, of its rights both civil and religious, and then say, what ought to be your line of conduct? Will you support a presidential candidate, whose advocates are reviving and deciding the glorious struggle of Spain, for all that men hold most dear upon earth? who call her resistance insurrection, and wish to behold her within the grasp of the universal destroyer? The secretary is a warm admirer of France; a warm admirer of her cause. Can he then be a friend to Christianity? Can he be a friend to the Roman Catholic Religion? Whosoever will lay his hand upon his heart and answer this question candidly, will be cautious how he votes on the present occasion. Roman Catholics, of all others, have experienced the most direful effects of Gallic despotism under every form, and I must they will look with a jealous eye on every man, who exhibits the most distant predilection for the Monster. To admire it in any shape, is to be half subdued by his wiles.
A few words to the peaceable followers of William Penn, shall conclude this address. They surely will bear their full and zealous testimony on the present occasion. They will bear it to the system of politics most opposed to the introduction of misrule and anarchy among us. They will bear it to the men who profess to tread the steps of our beloved Washington; who hold in equal veneration the sacred rights of liberty and of conscience; who scout the bandit idea of substituting the maxims of French Philosophers for the wisdom of the Gospel. They will bear it against the advocates, or the dupes of a nation, which emphatically delights in war, and which, if once admitted to control the destinies of America, as they boast is actually the case,* would level the first blow of their arrogant power at the simplicity of manners, those habits of serious regularity and retirement, which distinguished so eminently the society of Friends, and in which they would experience the principal obstacle to the introduction of their licentious principles and unbounded rapacity. Friends, I trust, will never countenance any man, nor trust him with the government of these States, who has evinced a decided predilection to this desolating system engendered in blood, involving in promiscuous ruin all the charities of life, trampling upon all human laws, and daring even to defy the Omnipotent to arms. From this venerable society, these children of peace, these friends to religion, America hopes confidently for better things. She hopes that with her sisters then professing the name of Christ, they will cordially unite in preserving the chair of state pure from Paganical contamination.
* So says the French official paper the Monitor.
* The Corsicans presence Napoleon in this manner.

and place in it a person who, with the duties of watching over the repub- lic, and executing her laws with discretion, and justice, may, consistently with his principles, connect another import- ant duty, enjoined upon all rulers in the sight of God; the duty of supplicating the blessing of Jesus Christ the Redeemer. Fel- low Christians and fellow citizens, let us aim at this measure, and then we may expect, without the censure of pre- judice, to breathe the sentiment of the Ve- ro respecting our beloved coun- try with confidence, Esto perpetua : "perpetual."

HALIFAX, (N.S.) Sept. 27.
On the 25th arrived his majesty's ship the Indra —arrived at Plymouth on the 17th of August—arrived at Oporto on the 24th of August—arrived at Lisbon on the 31st, and on the morn- ing of the 1st inst. took her departure for the Mediterranean. The intelligence she has brought is very important.
Portugal—Surrender of the French Army.
On the 19th of August, near Mafra, was a partial action between the Bri- tish, under the command of Sir Ar- thur Wellesley, and the French under Gen. Junot, in which the former lost upwards of 1000 men and two field officers; one of whom was Col. Lake, of the 29th re- giment, which, with the German Legion was severely defeated. On the 21st a general action took place; Junot's army was com- pletely defeated, with the loss of 5000 men, killed, wounded and prisoners; our loss was 1000. On the night of the 22d, "an ar- rangement for the suspension of hostilities between the British and French armies, pre- liminary to an arrangement of a convention for the evacuation of Portugal by the latter," was entered into. On the 30th the conven- tion was completed: Junot and his army are to march out of Lisbon with the ho- nor of war, and to return to France in Bri- tish transports, which were assembling in Tagus. The French, while outlines of the convention were in discussion, urged that the Russian ships should be permitted to return home, which was refused, and in surrender we have no doubt, was made in the present month. Junot's army, at the time of its surrender, amounted to 15000 men.
The troops under the command of Sir John Barrard were landing at Peniche du- ring the action of the 21st.

The following copy of a letter from Sir A. Wellesley to captain Malcolm, of his majes- ty's ship Donnegal , was received by the  Argus :
CAMP AT HOWELL, Aug. 23, 1808.
I have the honor to inform you that an ar- rangement for the suspension of hostilities, between the British and French armies, pre- liminary to an arrangement of a convention for the evacuation of Portugal by the latter, was signed last night by the direction of the commander in chief.
The commander in chief has directed me to inform you that he has received orders to send to England all the horse ships now in Portugal, with the exception of those which will have brought out the 18th, light dra- goons; and he concludes you will receive orders from the admiral to send them to England without loss of time.
He wishes, however, that all other trans- ports, whether in the Mondego river, at Oporto or off Mondego, should be brought to the mouth of the Tagus, without loss of time, and he has desired me to request, that you will give directions that they may be sent to that station. I have the honor to be,

NEW-YORK, October 11.
Yesterday morning, the frigate Chesa- peake , the British Packet Lord Hobart , the ship Passenger , and brig Ann , for N. Or- leans, the Minerva , for Charleston, and sev- eral others, went to sea with a fine breeze from S.W.
As it is now three months since any ac- counts have been received from the island of Guadaloupe; and as there are, probably, 60 or 70 American vessels embargoed in that place, it is in serious contemplation to petition the President for permission to send out one or more vessels, with provi-
sions for the unfortunate American seamen, who, in all probability, are confined there in a state of starvation.

FROM HALIFAX.
By a gentleman who left Halifax 14 days ago, and arrived here in the sloop Elizabeth , capt. Damerell, from Deer Island, we have the following information: The pre- paration of this apparent important expedi- tion which has been in agitation for some time past is now nearly completed; the time is improved with the greatest diligence to facilitate their departure. The ships now in readiness for this secret object are 19, most of which are of the line, and 100 trans- ports with flat bottomed boats built on a new construction, for the purpose of landing in shoal water, 80 of these are completed and others preparing with the utmost dispatch; 15,000 troops are ready to embark and wait- ing the arrival of a reinforcement, which sailed from Portsmouth the 3d of August under convoy; 60 horses with equipments for flying artillery, attended with infantry and camp equipage for 30,000 men, were all embarked prior to the 20th ult. There are various conjectures relative to the des- tination of the fleet, the opinions of many are that the object is New-Orleans or the Flo- ridas.
Every stranger is strictly scrutinized and arrested if a passport cannot be produced, designating his business.
Eastern Argus.
By the arrival this forenoon of the schr.  Traveller , captain Thompson, from Marti- nique, we learn, that the markets at that place were extremely high. Flour was sell- ing for $40 per barrel—butter per pound 25 cents—beef per barrel $40—pork $50 —tobacco none in market.
Three schrs. had arrived at St. Pierres, laden with provisions and fish, having by ac- cident been blown off the United States coast.
[N. Y. pap]
It appears by our foreign intelligence that Lucien Bonaparte has been applying for passports to come to the U. States. What he can be coming here for at this time, we are unable to conjecture unless the presiden- cy of the U. States has been transferred to him, as the sovereignty of Spain, was to his brother.— U. S. Gazette.

HAVANNA, Sept. 22.
The Governor of Jamaica, has just com- municated to me by a dispatch, the follow- ing news, which you will publish in your paper of to-morrow.
His B. M. ship —, spoke off the is- land of Teneriffe a packet from Cadiz, who informed that Murat had been completely defeated, taken prisoner and sent to Seville; that Dupont had died of chagrin. The un- fortunate Carlos IVth, had died a natural death, the queen was dangerously ill, and the prince of peace hourly expected to expe- rience the same; the Fernando 7th, was in Spain, and the continental powers had already decided in conjunction with the English to co-operate in the extinction of Corsican Tyranny; and that the French leaders con-
fident of being execrated by all christendom had taken the bold step of demanding that Napoleon should be arrested, which had been put into execution. The province of Gascony and Roussillon had declared that they would oppose any French forces that attempted to enter Spain.—In exterminating the French forces from Catalonia, 40,000 Spaniards fell a sacrifice, whose memory will ever be dear to the survivors.
This moment a private messenger has ar- rived from Havanna, who assures us that there was a signal flying at the Moro Castle for a packet from Spain, which is undoubt- edly the one which gave rise to the above communication from the gov. of Jamaica to that of this island.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of great respectability, in the Mississippi territo- ry, to his friend in Chillicothe, dated Aug. 23, 1808.
"A few days ago, not far from the place where a camp meeting was held, a white man whipt a drunken Indian because he would not consent for him to cut a bee tree he had found. The Indian sent a runner to the towns, and fifteen or sixteen of his friends came, painted themselves black, went to Montgomery's house, (the man who whipt the Indian) scared them away, plun- dered the house, set fire to it, and went off. The whites collected, about twenty-two in number, pursued and overtook the Indians, had a skirmish, in which one Indian was killed, and one white man wounded: the Indians kept the ground. This caused a great alarm. The people are fortifying— troops are ordered out to guard the fron- tiers. What will be the consequence, is not for me to predict."
In reviewing the affairs of Europe, the mind is filled with astonishment, and the events which are passing before us, more resemble fable than history. The reverse in the affairs of France has exceeded all that has passed since the commencement of her revolution, when we compare the magnitude of the events with the shortness of the time. In little more than two months, two nations have been delivered from the dominion of Napoleon, nothing short of one hundred thousand of his bravest troops have fallen by the sword and disease, or have been forced to surrender prisoners of war: France and her ally, Russia, have lost 15 sail of the line with six frigates, and nearly 10,000 seamen. Austria, it appears will be soon added to the number of her enemies, and another combi- nation in the north of Europe take place.  Norfolk Ledger.
ANOTHER WARNING.
Extract of a letter from Pablo Serra, of the Havanna, dated September 21.
"We have had a second meeting of plant- ers and merchants, to deliberate on our situ- ation; and it was decided to admit neutral vessels with every description of goods, until Spain shall be in a situation to provide for our wants."
"We expect large supplies from England, and I think it would be of great importance to America to raise the Embargo before our peo- ple learn to do without your trade—for other- wise you may be excluded entirely from an ar- rangement with England, which may be ea- sily effected, under our present impression of your attachment to France, and hostility to our glorious cause. (B. N. Am.)"
Honorable Testimony. —"I know of no man," said the late General Hamilton, "who so nearly resembles Washington, in all his great and enviable qualities, as Charles Coles- worth Pinckney." Can there be higher evi- dence of worth and greatness, than such an encomium from such a man?—

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, Jrn.
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 HANN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS, prepared (only) at Lee's Patent Medicine Store, No. 56 Maiden Lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and expand the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colics, which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe headache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr Wm. Devenney.
During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hann's Anxious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colics, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY, No. 145, Cherry street, New York.
Hamilton's Grand Pectorative,
Recommended as an invaluable Medicine, for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any destructive intemperance, the unskillful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obdurate gleets, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.

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—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 colics, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Seafaring 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 pronounced 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 Macubin, Esq. Mrs. Macubin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO. Baltimore, July 22d, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
