From the National Intelligencer.
I will make no apology for presenting to the public the following statement of facts. In a day I owe my country, my friends and myself.
I left my own house in Kentucky early in December last, and travelled the usual road to the Chickasaw nation, thence thro' the Choctaw nation to the settlements on Tombigbee. Here I spent two or three days looking at the lands; thence across the country, to the upper settlements on the Chickasaw river and down the river to where it takes the name of Pascagoula; here I left my horses and took a canoe, and after spending several days on the river, and part of two at the house of a gentleman, who showed me the papers and Livingston's address from New Orleans, I crossed the lake to the bayou of St. John's and passed into the city the usual road. I am thus particular, that my enemies may retrace my steps if they choose. I rode, for I was unable to walk into New Orleans between 12 and 1 o'clock, P. M. and took lodgings at madam Forage's boarding-house—I remained in the public room where there were a number of gentlemen, until dinner—at the table, I think about 3 o'clock, I was arrested by colonel Kingsbury of the U. S. Army, who came attended by five or six officers, having left a guard of ten men at the door. I was immediately taken to the garrison, and closely confined under a centinel. About 2 o'clock the next morning, I was conveyed down the river in a boat about 25 leagues to fort St. Philips, from thence about the same time the next morning I was conveyed 20 miles further down the river, and kept in the woods until the 22d in the evening; when I was put on board the schooner Thatcher (captain Hays) for Baltimore. On the evening of the 17th February I was given in charge to the officer commanding at fort McHenry—on the 18th I was taken before judge Nicholson by a writ of habeas corpus and discharged. I felt pleased to find myself once more in a country where the laws were respected and where there were men who dared to arrest oppression; whether it was the act of a petty tyrant, or sanctioned by the chiefs of the nation. On the 23d instant I came to this city, and addressed a note to the attorney general, letting him know where I was and requesting to know whether any and what charges were in his possession against me. The second day after I received an answer, telling me that when the executive should be furnished with sufficient evidence, I would be apprised. I conclude then the executive has not yet been furnished with sufficient evidence to warrant an arrest. I positively say it cannot be furnished—I have committed no crime against the laws of my country; yet I have been imprisoned, forced from place to place, at midnight, sent to sea in a tempestuous season, and carried 1000 miles or more from my business, to the loss of my property, the injury of my health, and the danger of my life. Why has all this been done? I have not yet been told. Wilkinson has acted with the honor of a soldier and the fidelity of a good citizen—and can the president really approve and justify a venal, petty tyrant in the act of violating the constitution and the laws of his country. He is, however, aware that some apology may be necessary for his general—he attempts to make it in the latter part of his message of 22d January; he there seems to think it probable the general sent us round from motives of humanity, least an impartial trial might not be had in the agitated city of New Orleans. In this holy ten miles square, there could be no doubt, where not only the highest judicial authorities were to be assembled, but where the court could be furnished with the aid of executive means; what aid? What executive means? Perhaps the senate can tell. The supreme court did not think it necessary; it decided without and consequently has incurred the displeasure of all who believe in executive infallibility. I have said the senate could probably tell what was meant by this aid (and that body I highly respect). Take the following statement—On the 22d January this all-important message was communicated to the senate; their doors were closed, and in a few hours they passed a bill suspending the power of granting the writ of habeas corpus; thus prostrating at one blow the civil authority, sacrificing the constitution on the altar of oppression, and subjecting every citizen in the west to the will of an ambitious unprincipled tyrant. Was this done through the aid of executive means; or had they just heard the Arabian nights entertainment of last winter, and shut their doors to keep out Burr and his army, least they might be tied neck and heels and
tumbled into the Potomac—I have said every citizen of the west, because on them was this bill intended to operate; my own case may be the case of every individual of that country; imprisoned without having committed, or being charged with any offence, denied the use of pen, ink and paper, I might have been sent to the Columbia river, and kept there for seven years, unheard of by my friends or family; tyrants never lack the means of destroying the reputations of those they oppress.
Had not the house of representatives spurned with indignation this unconstitutional attempt to justify the lawless acts of a lawless tyrant, the sufferings of baron Trenck would not have been strange in America.
And what, let me ask, is our present security, unless Wilkinson is punished for his daring outrage on all law? In the case of Dr. Bollman, we are told in a newspaper, the writ of habeas corpus, granted by judge Bee of South Carolina, was actually served. What was the answer of the officer who had him in custody? Attend to it ye who respect your government. Although (said he) I respect the civil institutions of my country; yet I must obey the orders of my superior officer. The prisoner was not given up. Here then was a denial of this all-important right; no need for the interposition of the senate. In England, that land of oppression, this officer would have been immediately punished. In our free government, things are ordered otherwise. Under the administration of Mr. Adams, there was much grumbling about a gag law, that shut people's mouths—under the present administration a man may not only be gagged, but his throat cut without any law, and he that does it will find protectors amongst the sages of the nation.
Wilkinson tells us he has acted with the approbation of the governor and judges. If this be true, it is high time these men were removed from office. Men placed in the most important stations, over a territory respectable for its wealth and population, and over a city that yields in importance to very few on the continent; sworn to administer justice agreeable to the constitution and laws; who would cringe to a military tyrant, and suffer him to trample on all law, should not be trusted. Perhaps the bayonet was at their breast, or the dagger of the assassin at their side; no less dangerous a situation can plead their excuse. Wilkinson, in telling us this unlikely tale; intends not only an excuse for his own illegal acts, but it is saying to those he has injured, see me if you dare—I am here entrenched in New Orleans in the favor of the executive—the governor and judges are my creatures—you cannot injure me. How long he will remain thus secure, will rest with the president.
Wilkinson, in his long fulsome panegyric on himself, published in the Aurora of 23d inst. as a letter from New Orleans (for his tricks of this kind are too well known to pass) has discovered from his spy, who had it in confidence from the friends of col. Burr, that I was sent to New Orleans, and was to meet the col at Bayou Pierre, on the 12th Jan. Unfortunately for this tale, which seems to have been fabricated after my arrest, major Floyd and Mr. Ralston will declare they have never spoken to me on the subject—but I scorn to justify myself, where I cannot be accused. It was necessary to alledge something against me. Wilkinson and his spies, and other confidential men, have made me a general, and given me an array of 2000 men (1000 more than I could have needed) and this too without consulting me, whilst I was harmlessly diverting myself in the uninhabited cane swamps in West Florida, three or four hundred miles out of the road leading from Nashville to Orleans. What can they not do? Bonaparte can conquer armies as fast as his enemies can raise them. But Wilkinson & his friends can both raise and conquer them in the same breath without powder or ball. This charge, however, cannot be the crime for which I have suffered, because the discovery has been made since my arrest. It seems I have committed another. A very great personage in this city, has declared publicly, that Adair was the most impudent of all the conspirators; for he had said to the first man he met in New Orleans, that the commander in chief of the army was a villain and a Spanish spy, and that he, Adair, expected to find the city in possession of his Catholic majesty.
With due submission, I will correct this statement, which I presume came from Wilkinson, as I was told he repeated it on the same evening I was confined. When I was repeatedly told in the public room,
amongst gentlemen, acquaintances and strangers; that Wilkinson had denounced me as a traitor, and declared me at the head of an army coming to attack that city; I coolly answered, that reports were different in different countries; that in Kentucky, people were more afraid of Wilkinson than Burr; because many of them believed him to be in Spanish pay. A gentleman (pointing to a small man in the room) observed to me, take care what you say, that man is a spy on you from the general, and I would not be surprised if you are confined for that before night; I answered with perhaps some warmth, let him confine me and be d—d, I despise his power. For this I have suffered, for this I have been imprisoned; I had before been persecuted for saying Mr. — did not possess more talents than every other man in the U. States. I ought to have known the danger of speaking freely of great men. I acknowledge my imprudence; but I cannot repent of my sins; I have suffered, but I have done no one act for which I am sorry.
So far as I know or believe of the intentions of col. Burr (and my enemies will agree I am not ignorant on this subject) they were to prepare and lead an expedition into Mexico, predicated on a war between the two governments; without a war he knew he could do nothing. On this war taking place he calculated with certainty, as well from the policy of the measure at this time, as from the positive assurances of Wilkinson, who seemed to have the power to force it in his own hands. This continued to be the object of col. Burr, until he heard of the venal and shameful bargain made by Wilkinson at the Sabine river—this information he received soon after the attempt to arrest him at Frankfort. He then turned his attention altogether toward strengthening himself on the Washita and waiting a more favorable crisis. I thought the first of these objects honorable and worthy the attention of any man; but I was not engaged in it—my political as well as private pursuits forbade me from taking a part until it was over; nor did I ever believe, notwithstanding Wilkinson's swaggering letters to me on that subject; which may be seen, that a war would take place—this opinion I formed last winter in this city. In the second object of col. Burr I had no interest. I have said I was not engaged in either. If I had, the first step would have been to engage me—I could do nothing without. I call upon Wilkinson and his friends to produce a single man that I have attempted to engage in any enterprise whatever. I am not the apologist of col. Burr—he can defend himself; I only speak of his intentions so far as they relate to myself. My business in New Orleans did not require my presence there till the later part of January, consequently I took the circuitous route. I have before described, so far as this statement relates, my imprisonment, I am ready to attest it before any tribunal. It remains with those who have the power to say how long Wilkinson shall remain secure (as he boasts) in New Orleans, or when he will be placed within the reach of the civil law.
JOHN ALAIR.
City of Washington, } March 1, 1807. }
Extract of a letter from New Orleans.
The 18th of December was a day of solemn and strong emotion in this city. Gen. Wilkinson was on that day called upon to answer to the supreme court for having arrested and sent off Dr. Bollman, who was not only the bearer of a treasonable letter from Col. Burr to the general, in which he proposed to seduce the general and the corps under his command, from their fidelity, by the proffer of the second place in command, and high honors and rewards; but was actually the prime agent of col. Burr in this city, to propagate his revolutionary projects, and to keep him advised by express or otherwise, of every occurrence that might transpire. Various were the opinions and conjectures on the occasion. Some were hardly enough to assert that the general would slight the writ which had been issued for bringing up Bollman, while others contended that it was such an act of violence against the constitution of the United States, to resist an act of habeas corpus, that disobedience would be ultimately punished by a jail. At length the hour arrived which was to decide this important question. The general appeared before the court divested of the appendages of an officer with neither the usual guard for his person nor an advocate for his cause. When the general advanced to the bar notwithstanding the deep solicitude of the crowd who filled the court house, the most perfect stillness
and silence prevailed. After a short pause the general addressed the court in following manner:
"Summoned by the highest authority known to the constitution of the country, I cheerfully obey the mandate, and present myself before this honorable court to await their will and pleasure."
"I hold in my hand the writ of habeas corpus, commanding me to produce the body of Erick Bollman before you. This is impossible because he is out of my power; but I have attached to the writ my answer, containing the charge against Bollman, and the cause of my conduct on this extraordinary case, which I shall beg leave to read."
Here the General read his return to the writ, which has been already submitted to the public.—He then proceeded:
"Unskilled in the forms of courts, in terms of law, or technical phraseology, I have submitted to your honors a plain statement of facts, and shall with confidence rest the justification of the steps I have taken, on the motives and principles by which I was governed. Although this enlightened court may be satisfied, the ignorant, the idle and the curious may not; therefore if in the places of common and general resort, it be demanded, 'why was Bollman arrested by arbitrary power?' The answer is brief, 'to prevent the effect of this very attempt to rescue him, and thus reinstate him in the sinister correspondence which he had established with the conspirators in Tennessee and Kentucky. That this measure of necessity was understood by the governor and judges Hall and Mathews, and that the release of a conspirator yesterday by a judge below (Workman) who was sent abroad to machinate afresh and with impunity, foul plans against the United States, serves to illustrate the grounds of the precaution which has been taken.'
"I am in possession of much information which cannot be safely imparted at this moment—let it be sufficient to say, that I know our public affairs are approaching rapidly to a threatening crisis—and let the information which I may with propriety give, suffice to warn the faithful citizens of the impending danger. I will appeal to any casuist whether in extreme cases the remedy should not be correspondent, and whether the lenity of our laws is not dangerously applied, where it is employed to screen the guilty, and to arm the traitor for the subversion of the very constitution on which they rest. To save the body we amputate a limb—to stop a conflagration we demolish an edifice, and to arrest treasonable designs it has been found salutary to dispense with the tardy forms of justice."
"Your honors will pardon me for imposing these reflections on your time; I offer them to explain the purity of my intentions, and should my zeal have beguiled my judgment, to extenuate the error."
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
BOSTON, Feb. 23.
From the River La Plata.
By Mr. Wells, who arrived in town last evening from the River Plate, by the way of the Vineyard, we have the following particulars:
After the recapture of Buenos Ayres, commodore Popham came in with his squadron before Monte Video. About the 5th Oct. there arrived from the Cape of Good Hope, the Lancaster 64, Medusa frigate, and a number of transports, with about 1800 troops.
On the 28th of Dec. an attack was made by the squadron against the town of Monte Video. But for want of water for the large ships, the attempt was relinquished. But the next day the town of Maldonado was taken by the said troops, and remained in their possession in November, when Mr. Wells sailed.
It appears it was the object of commodore Popham to keep possession of Maldonado, and remain in the river until he had accounts from home. If reinforced it was believed he would make a serious attack on Monte Video; but if otherwise, it was supposed he would leave the country, directing a few ships to remain to blockade the river.
Considerable distress and discontent seems to exist in the province of La Plata, which may lead to consequences not generally expected.
NEW YORK, Feb. 28.
The British packet Manchester, captain Davies, arrived last evening within the Hook in 47 days from Falmouth and 15

from Bermuda, where she touched to deliver a mail.
Captain Davies came up in his boat, and informed us that he sailed from Falmouth on the 13th of January, and that his London papers are to the 10th, but that he had unfortunately left them on board. We shall probably receive them in the course of the morning.
We learn verbally that no action had taken place between the hostile armies on the Continent since our last advices from that quarter. The king of Prussia with the remnant of his army, had joined that of the emperor Alexander, and both were retreating.
Captain Davies has brought dispatches for the government of the United States. They contain he understood a duplicate of the treaty lately negotiated between our ministers and the cabinet of Great Britain.— Mercantile Ad.
The editors of the New York Gazette, have received London papers to the 11th of January, six days later than those by the ship Oliver Elsworth. The complexion of these papers are much more lively than our last; the gloomy state of the French army, & the brilliant prospects of their opponents, gave new life to the enemies of the powerful Napoleon.
It will be seen by the subsequent extracts, that the French head quarters were at Warsaw, and that nothing had prevented offensive and defensive operations in that quarter, but the extremely distressed situation of the French army.
It also appears that the Russian army were profiting by the distresses of their enemy; their strength and hopes were daily increasing.
The papers contain two very important state papers. One is the proclamation of the king of Prussia, stating the reasons of his refusing to ratify the armistice. The other is a note of Talleyrand (prince of Benevento,) presented to the Prussian plenipotentiaries on signing the armistice.
The king of Prussia states that previous to the conclusion of the armistice, a basis of peace had actually been agreed upon, but from which the continued successes of the French led Bonaparte to depart; and on account of his growing demands, no hopes of peace could be entertained. As to the armistice, his majesty states, that it was impossible for him to comply with the conditions of it, as the Russians were advancing not only to his aid, but to defend their own frontiers, which the French armies menaced.
On the 9th of January the American ship Diana Noble, arrived at Falmouth in 7 days from Rochefort. It was currently reported when he sailed, that the Russians had been defeated by the French in a battle that had taken place on the banks of the Visula; but the time was not mentioned nor any circumstances to enable us to decide whether the report is entitled to any credit.
The recapture of Buenos Ayres was generally discredited.
The West India fleet sailed from Falmouth the 6th, under convoy.
An order of Council was to appear in the London Gazette of the 10th Jan. and is in substance, says the Morning Chronicle, "that no neutral ships be permitted to trade from any port under the control, or in the possession of the enemy. The neutral trade direct from neutral nations to the enemy's ports is still permitted; but the neutral trade from port to port is prohibited."
On the above order, the Morning Herald observes—"This measure will speedily decide the question, whether France, who has no commercial marine of her own, can dispense with the carrying trade, as pursued by neutrals, but which this measure goes completely to extinguish. She will now, in return for her menaced blockade, be hermetically sealed up, without an opportunity of exporting any of her produce to any part of the globe. The direct trade from America is permitted, but under this salutary regulation the Americans will not be allowed to carry on the trade between France, Spain, Italy, and Holland, &c."
A copy of the treaty with G. Britain has come out in the packet; and a London paper states, that a duplicate was going by the Enterprize direct for New York.
Price of Stocks at London, Jan. 10. Bank stock 211 1/2; 3 per ct. consols 59 3/4 5 3/4; omnium 32 3/4; consols for account 61 3/8 1/8.
London, Jan. 6. Sir Harford Jones has brought the latest accounts to government from the Russian head-quarters. He had a full opportunity of seeing them with his own eyes and we
have his authority to say, that he never saw an army in a higher state of discipline, or more eager to meet the enemy a Parole blanche . The two columns of the Russians, under generals Benningsen and Buxhowden, amount to 150,000 men, which must have joined by the 9th.
January 8. The mails from Denmark bring news to the 30th ult. All accounts agree in this, that the French army are in a most direful state by dysentery and other infectious disorders, produced by the severity of the weather and the want of proper food—nearly the whole of the army being disabled.
The Danes, apprehensive of French attempts to violate their neutrality, & force them into measures inconsistent with their interest, are making preparations to vindicate their rights, and have equipped several ships of the line for the protection of their coast and trade.
Shesterwick, Dec. 30. We learn that Napoleon arrived at Warsaw on the 19th inst. where prince Morat was confined to his bed.
Skirmishes daily take place between the Russian and French out-posts.
Five hospitals are erected at Warsaw. Kosciusko, who left Paris, the 13th, was expected at Warsaw, to put himself at the head of the Polish confederation.
Gen. Benningsen with 73,000 men, retreating before the French to Narew, destroyed all the provisions, and took with him all the Poles who were able to serve in the army.
Tonningen, Dec. 30. All accounts agree that the French army are much reduced by sickness and scarcity. The Empress Josephine and the queen of Holland have fled from the contagion.
General Benningsen, with 80,000 men, is near Warsaw, harassing the French, whose misery and distress give them no stomach for fighting. In truth, we are assured, that the affairs of Napoleon are desperate.
Presburg, Dec. 30. We learn that the Russians, 50,000 strong, are posted at Moldavia and Walachia, as friends and allies of the Sublime Porte; that they have advanced as far as Widdien, and united with 40,000 Servians, commanded by Czerni George.
Accounts from Berlin of the 10th state that the hospitals there and at Magdeburg are full of sick and wounded French, who arrive nightly by waggons full. Contagious fevers and flux prevailed to an alarming degree. The physicians are put in requisition.
The Russian army on the frontiers of Poland amount to 350,000 men, and will be enlarged by January.
Denmark, Dec. 30. Accounts from Berlin of the 28th say, that the French army in Poland has suffered so much from disease, occasioned by a constant fall of rain, as not to be able to act on the offensive with safety.
London, January 9. The king of Prussia's head quarters have been transferred from Konigsberg to Wehlau. His army combined with the Russian division under general Tolstoy, amounts to 100,000 men. The Prussians are commanded by general Kalkreuth.
It is stated in a private letter, that two regiments of French cavalry were cut to pieces by two Prussian regiments, the former having been drawn into an ambuscade near Danzic. An application has been made to the emperor of Austria, on the part of France, desiring that he should surrender Galicia, if this should be rendered necessary by any arrangement in Poland. To this demand the emperor Francis is said to have replied by a decided negative. There are several rumors of a general engagement, about the 25th ult. and of a pacification between Prussia and France. Both these reports we are strongly inclined to discredit.
It now appears that general Benningsen, after laying waste the country, has taken up his position at Pultusk, a town situated near the confluence of the Narew and the little river Rossoka. It is said to be a very strong position, for all the country between the Narew and the Bug is extremely difficult, full of woods and marshes, whilst the open country, between Pultusk and the Visula, has been ravaged and laid waste.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, MARCH 6. From the Boston Repertory.
DR. PARK. I send you an extract faithfully translated from "The catechism established for the use of all churches in the French empire, and so established by the Archbishopical authority." It may amuse some of your readers.
A. A. Extracts from the catechism, published for the use of churches in the French empire.
Question. What are the duties of christians towards the princes by whom they are governed, and particularly towards our emperor Napoleon 1st?
Ans. All christians owe to the princes by whom they are governed, and we in particular owe to our emperor Napoleon 1st, respect, obedience, love, fidelity, military service, tributes ordered for the preservation of his empire and throne; we owe him also fervent prayers for his safety and for the spiritual and temporal prosperity of his state.
Q. Why are we bound in such duties towards our emperor?
A. First, because God, who creates empires, and distributes them at his pleasure by dispensing his blessings in peace and in war to our emperor, has confirmed him as our sovereign, and has established him as the minister of his power and as his image upon earth. To honor and serve our emperor is the same as to honor and serve God himself. Secondly, because our Lord Jesus Christ himself both by his doctrine and his example, has taught us what we owe to our rulers.
Q. Are there not other more particular motives, by which we should be more strictly bound to Napoleon our emperor?
A. Yes; because God has raised him up, in such trying times, for the purpose of re-establishing the holy worship of our ancestors, and to be the protector of our sacred religion; because he has brought back and preserved public order, by his profound and energetic wisdom; because he defends the empire by his powerful arm; because he has become the Lord's anointed, by means of the consecration which he has received from the Sovereign Pontiff, the chief of the universal church.
Q. What are we to think of those who fail in these duties towards our emperor?
A. That according to the apostle St. Paul, they resist the decree established by God himself, and render themselves subject to eternal damnation.

Richard Lee & Son, SENSIBLE of the many favors conferred on them by an enlightened community beg permission to return them their sincere acknowledgments, and solicit them for a continuance of the same. As all the efforts of Hannah Lee and her colleagues to ruin our characters and injure the reputation of our medicines, have proved abortive, we should think it degrading to ourselves and insulting to the public, to pursue the contest into which we have been reluctantly dragged. Here we will drop the subject, leave her to enjoy the consolation her vapid Billingsgate language in her last advertisement is capable of affording; and simply ask those who may have occasion to purchase medicines of the following description, to give ours a trial, under a full confidence that every new trial will corroborate the long established public opinion of their being genuine.
THE FOLLOWING MEDICINES SOLD BY NICHOLAS HINGSTON, At his China, Glass, Queen's-Ware and Seed Store, Fairfax street, facing Messrs. Rickett's and Newton's. Each article has on the outside wrapper, the signature of Richard Lee and Son, Without which none are genuine.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges. This medicine, which is as innocent & mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
From the many cases of cures that daily come to our knowledge, we have selected the following: Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, You are at liberty to publish the astonishing cure performed by your Lozenges on my son, 10 years old, who was afflicted with fevers, pain in his side, and a continual head-ache, which reduced him so low that he was unable to sit up. One of my neighbors advised me to use your Lozenges, which has had the happy effect of restoring him to a better state of health than he has enjoyed for several years, in the short space of seventeen days. JOHN KELLEY, Pitt-street.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, My son, five years old, has for some time past been very unhealthy, having fevers, head-aches, and loss of appetite. Hearing of the many cures performed by your Worm Lozenges, I was induced to give them a trial. The effect was beyond my expectation, as a large quantity of small worms was expelled; hundreds of them were alive for some time after. JOHN KENNEDY, Potter-street, Baltimore, Jan. 4th, 1807.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious & Malignant Fevers, is recommended Lee's Anti-bilious Pills, Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore. The operation of these Pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, The high opinion I have of your Bilious Pills, and a desire to make known their utility for the benefit of mankind, I wish you to publish the following: For two months past, I have been afflicted with a violent sickness at the stomach, an inclination to vomit, and loss of appetite—by taking two doses of your pills, I am restored to a perfect state of health—which induced my wife to try them also, which was attended with the same good effects. Being now able to attend to her domestic concerns: in my opinion, this medicine is unequalled in stomach and bowel complaints, not being attended with that griping pain, common to other remedies. JOHN SCOTT, Delaney-street, near Columbia Garden.
LEE'S ELIXER, A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhal asthma, sore throats, and approaching consumptives.
Lee's Grand Restorative, Proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptives, lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of blood, hysterical affections, inward weaknesses, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, obstinate gleet, flour albus (or whites) impotency, barrenness, &c.
Infalible Ague and Fever Drops, For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermitent Fevers.
Lee's genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard. A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, palsy, lumbago,
catarrh, white swellings, chilblains, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c.
Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch, Which is warranted an infallible remedy in one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury or any dangerous ingredient whatever.
Lee's Genuine Eye-Water, A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or accident.
Lee's Genuine Persian Lotion, LEE'S DAMASK LIP SALVE, TOOTH ACHE DROPS, The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
