LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
[From London Papers received at the office of the New York Commercial Advertiser]
PARIS Oct. 24.
At noon this day in obedience to the order of his majesty the emperor and king, his serene highness the prince arch chancellor repaired to the Senate. The Prince being received with the usual ceremony, and having taken his seat, read a short speech.
His serene highness then laid before them,
 1. A letter from his majesty to the president and members of the senate.  2. Two reports addressed to his majesty by the prince of Benevento, minister for foreign affairs.  3. Six diplomatic notes as follows: 
LETTER FROM HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR AND KING.
Senators,
"We have quitted our capital to place ourselves in the midst of our army of Germany, at the moment we saw with certainty that its flanks were menaced with unexpected movements. Scarcely arrived on the frontiers of our states, we had an opportunity of perceiving how much our presence was necessary there, and of congratulating ourselves on the defensive measures we had taken before we had quitted the centre of our empire. Already the Prussian armies, ready for war, were in motion in all parts; they had passed their frontiers; Saxony was invaded, and the wise prince who governs it was forced to act against his will, and against the interest of his people. The Prussian armies had arrived in force of the cantonments of our troops. Provocations of every kind, and even acts of violence, had marked the spirit of hatred which animated our enemies, and the moderation of our soldiers, who tranquil at the aspect of all their movements, astonished only at receiving no orders, rested under the double confidence of courage and a just cause. Our first duty has been to pass the Rhine ourselves, to form our camps, and to cause the sound of war to be heard. It has spread into the hearts of all our warriors. Rapid and combined marches have brought them, in the twinkling of an eye, to the spot we had indicated. All our camps are formed, we are going to march against the Prussian armies, and to repel force by force. At all times, we ought to say it, our heart is sorely affected at this constant preponderance which the genius of mischief obtains in Europe, occupied incessantly in traversing the designs we form for the tranquility of Europe, the repose and happiness of the present generation—besieging every cabinet by every kind of seduction—leading those astray whom it cannot corrupt—binding them to their true interests, and launching them into the midst of disputes, without any other guide than the passions it has known how to inspire them with. The cabinet of Berlin itself has not chosen with deliberation the part it takes: it has been thrown into it with art and with malicious address. The king has found himself all at once an hundred leagues from his capital, on the frontiers of the confederation of the Rhine, in the midst of his army, and opposite the French troops dispersed in their cantonments, and who thought themselves justified in counting upon the ties which unite the two states, and upon the lavish protestations made in all circumstances by the court of Berlin. In a war so just, in which we take arms only to defend ourselves who have provoked by no act, by no pretension, and of which it would be impossible to assign the true cause, we reckon entirely on the support of the laws, and the people; whom circumstances call upon, to give us new proofs of their love, of their devotion, and of their courage. On our part, no personal sacrifice will be painful to us, no danger will stop us, whenever it is the question to assure the rights, the honor, and the prosperity of our people.

Copy of the note of M. de Knobelsdorff, to the minister for the foreign affairs, September 12, 1806.
"The undersigned, feeling how much it is of the first importance to answer immediately the note which his excellency the prince of Benevento, minister for foreign affairs, has done him the honor of addressing to him this evening, feels himself compelled to limit himself to the representation of the following observations. The motives which have engaged the king my master, to make armaments, have been the effect of a scheme of the enemies of France and Prussia; who jealous of the intimacy which exists between these two powers, have done every thing in their power to alarm by false reports, coming at once from every quarter; but above all, what proves the spirit of this measure is, that his majesty has concerted it with no person what-
soever, and that intelligence respecting it arrived sooner at Paris than at Vienna, St. Petersburg and London. But the king, my master, has ordered to be made to the envoy of his majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy, an amicable communication on the subject of these measures. That minister had not yet returned an answer upon this communication. The relation of the interesting conversations that his imperial majesty has designed to entertain with the undersigned, and the marquis de Lucchesini, could not yet have arrived at Berlin. After this explanation, the undersigned can only testify to his excellency, his most ardent wish, that the public acts may yet rest suspended, till the return of the courier dispatched to Berlin.
The undersigned begs his excellency, &c. &c.

GEN. KNOBELSDORFF.
Copy of the second note to M. de Knobelsdorff, dated Sept. 13, 1806.
"The undersigned has laid before his majesty the emperor and king, the note that his excellency M. de Knobelsdorff yesterday did him the honor to address to him.
"His majesty has found therein, with pleasure, the assurance that Prussia had not entered into any concert hostile to France; that the armament she has made had no other cause than a misunderstanding; that the departure of the garrison of Berlin, though it happened since the letter written by his majesty the king of Prussia, ought only to be considered as the execution of an interior order; and that the movements marked out for the Prussian troops would cease as soon as it was known at Berlin, what his majesty the emperor & king was pleased to say to M. M. Knobelsdorff and Lucchesini, in the private audience which he granted them.
"His majesty has ordered in consequence, that the communications which were to be made to the senate on Monday next, shall be deferred; and that no troops, besides those which were actually on their march towards the Rhine, shall be put in motion, until his majesty learns the determinations and the measures which the court of Berlin shall have taken after the report that M. de Knobelsdorff and Lucchesini have made; and if these determinations are such that the French army in Germany shall no longer be menaced, and that all things shall be replaced between France and Prussia on the same footing as they were a month ago, his majesty will immediately order the retrograde march of troops who are actually advancing to the Rhine.
"His majesty expects that this singular misunderstanding would be cleared up. He expects to be enabled without any mixture of uncertainty or doubt, to restore himself to those sentiments of which he has given so many proofs to the court of Berlin, and which have always been those of a faithful ally.
"The undersigned prays M. de Knobelsdorff to receive the assurance of his high consideration.
(Signed)
C. M. TALLEYRAND, Prince of Benevento."
Copy of the third note addressed by the minister of foreign affairs to M. Knobelsdorff.
"The undersigned minister of foreign relations has expressed to his excellency M. Knobelsdorff, in the note which he had the honor to address to him on the 13th of September, the confiding dispositions with which his majesty the emperor received the assurances given by M. Knobelsdorff, that the military movements of the court of Berlin were not the result of any hostile concert against France, but simply the effect of a misunderstanding; and that they would cease the moment when the first communication of his excellency should have arrived at Berlin.
"Nevertheless, the news received every day bear so much the character of an impending war, that his imperial majesty must feel some regret at the engagement he made, not yet to call out his reserve, and to defer the constitutional notification, after which all the forces of the nation would be placed at his disposal. He will fulfil that engagement; but he shall think it contrary to prudence and to the interest of his people, not to order, in the interim, all the measures, and all the movements of the troops, which can take place without previous notification.
"His majesty has, at the same time, charged the undersigned to express again to M. Knobelsdorff, that he cannot yet conceive, by what forgetfulness of her interest, Prussia should be willing to re-
nounce her ties of amity with France. War between the two countries appears to him a real political monstrosity; and from the moment that the cabinet of Berlin shall return to their pacific dispositions, & shall cease to menace the armies of Germany, his majesty engages to countermand all the measures which prudence commanded him to take. He will seize with pleasure, as he does wish to do in all circumstances, the occasion of testifying to his majesty the king of Prussia the price he attaches to his friendship; to a union, founded on a wise policy, and on reciprocal interests; and to prove to him that his sentiments are always the same, and that no provocation has been able to alter them.
"The undersigned is happy in being able to give to his excellency M. de Knobelsdorff so formal an assurance of the dispositions of his majesty, which are so foreign to all idea of war with Prussia, that he has already committed a very grave military fault, in retarding his military preparations for one month, and in consenting to let fifteen days more pass over, without calling out his reserves and his national guards.
"This confidence, which his majesty loves to preserve, proves what a value he sets upon what was stated to him by M. Knobelsdorff, that Prussia had entered into no concert with the enemies of France, and that the assurances that he had received in putting a term to the misunderstanding which has just arisen, would cause the cessation of those armaments which were the consequences of it.
(Signed)
C. M. TALLEYRAND"
Paris, 19th Sept. 1806.
Second Note of M. Knobelsdorff to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
"The undersigned envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of his majesty the king of Prussia, received yesterday the Note addressed to him by his excellency the prince of Benevento, minister for foreign affairs. If, in this communication, the undersigned has found again, with extreme satisfaction, the assurance formerly given, in the note of the 13th of September, that his majesty the emperor and king would fulfil the engagement which he had made to wait the result of the explanations given to M. de Lucchesini and the general Knobelsdorff, before taking any measures respecting the constitutional notification, which would put all the forces of the French nation at the disposal of government, he has learned, with infinite pain, that his majesty should have had any regret at that engagement; and that, in fulfilling it, he thinks it necessary to order all the measures and all the movements of troops, which can be taken without previous notification.
"The undersigned hastens to reiterate to his excellency M. the prince of Benevento, the assurance that his majesty the king of Prussia, far from ever having had an idea of renouncing his relations of amity with France, participates in that respect all the sentiments of his imperial and royal majesty, expressed in the communication to which this note is an answer; that, far from having entered into a concert with the enemies of France, his Prussian majesty has always sought to calm all resentments for facilitating the re-establishment of a general peace; in fine, that far from menacing the French armies in Germany by his armaments, these only took place in consequence of the advice received at Berlin, and which was so alarming, that it was not possible to neglect measures of precaution, demanded by prudence for the welfare of the state.
"The undersigned is pleased, in renewing to his excellency the prince of Benevento the assurance, that in taking these measures his majesty the king of Prussia has not resigned, for a single instant, the assurance of seeing the clouds dispersed that have been raised between him and France; and general Knobelsdorff is persuaded that such will be the result of the explanations that have taken place. In begging M. the prince of Benevento to make known to his majesty the emperor and king this answer to his communication, the undersigned has the honor to renew to his excellency the assurance of his high consideration.
(Signed)
General KNOBELSDORFF."
Paris, Sept. 20, 1806.
Second Report addressed to his majesty the emperor and king, by the minister of foreign relations, Oct. 6.
"SIRE,
"When in the report that a few days back I had the honor to address your ma-
jesty, I established, that if Prussia had any personal reasons which led her to make war, it could only be from a desire to enslave Saxony, and the Hanseatic Towns. I was far from perceiving, that she would ever dare avow such a motive. It is nevertheless an avowal which she has been forced to make, and to express in a note that M. de Knobelsdorff has sent me from Metz, and which I now have the honor to address your majesty. Of the three demands which that note contains, the first and the third are only made to determine, if it be possible, that no real importance may be attached to the second.
"Prussia after having seen with tranquil eye the French armies in Germany during a year, could not be alarmed at their presence when their numbers were diminished—when they were dispersed in small bodies in distant cantonments—when, above all your majesty had solemnly announced that they should return to France as soon as the affair of Copen, the cause of the prolongation of their stay in Germany, should be settled by an agreement with Austria, and that already the ORDER for their RETURN was given.
"Prussia who speaks of a negotiation to fix all the interests in question knows well that there is no point of interest whatever in question between the 2 states—the amicable discussion which would definitively fix the fate of the Abbeys of Essen and Werden has not been deferred by any delay of the French cabinet. The French troops have evacuated those territories which the Grand Duke of Berg had caused to be occupied in the perfect persuasion that numerous documents had been given him, and that they made a part of the duchy of Cleves, and that they were comprehended in the cession of that Duchy.
"Thus the demands of Prussia on these different points, and others of the same nature, and the pretended grievances, which she seems to indicate, do not offer the real mind of the cabinet of Berlin—it does not reveal it. It lets a secret escape only, when it demands no farther obstacle whatever shall be made on the part of France, to the formation of the Northern League, which shall embrace without any exception, all the states not named in the fundamental act of the confederation of the Rhine.
"Thus to satisfy the most unbounded ambition, Prussia consents to break the bounds that united her to France, to draw new calamities upon the continent of which your majesty would wish to cativize the wounds and to assure their quality, and to provoke a faithful ally, put him under the cruel necessity of repelling force by force, and once more snatch his army from the repose which he aspires to make it enjoy, after so many fatigues and triumphs.
"I say it is with grief I lose the hope of the ability to preserve peace, from the moment it is made to depend upon conditions that equity and honor equally impose; proposed as they are in tones in forms that the French people endure in no time, and from no power, and will in can less than ever endure under your majesty's reign.
Signed,
C. M. TALLEYRAND
Mayence, Oct. 6, 1806.
NOTE.
"The undersigned minister of Prussian majesty, by the same courier who brought the letter to his imperial majesty, which he has had the honor to submit to-day to his excellency the prince of Benevento, has received orders to the following communications. The object is to have the relations of the courts no longer in suspense. But them is so immensely interested in maintaining no longer in doubt upon the sentiments of the other, that the king himself that his majesty the emperor applauded his frankness. His Prussian majesty has expressed in the letter mentioned above, his entire thoughts and the view of the subjects of complaint, from a faithful and honest ally, have him become a neighbor alarmed at the existence, and necessarily aroused in defence of his dearest interests. The usual of it will recall to his majesty emperor and king, what Prussia has a long time to France. Will not the remembrance of the past be for a pledge of the future? And what would be blind enough to believe that king could have been for nine years France so consistent, and perhaps still, in order to place himself with her in a different relation more than once might perhaps have her, and who knows now only too progress of her power?

But if France has in her recollections, and in the nature of things, the pledge of the sentiments of Prussia, it is not so with this last power: her recollections are made to alarm her: she has been careless, neutral, friendly, and in alliance. The destruction that surrounds her, the gigantic increase of a power essentially military and conquering, which has injured her successively in her greatest interests, and menaces her in them all, leaves her now without a guarantee. This state of things cannot last. The king sees almost nothing around him but French troops, or vassals of France, ready to march with her. All the declarations of his imperial majesty announce, that this attitude will not change. Far from that, new troops issue from the interior of France. Already the journals of his capital indulge themselves in a language against Prussia, of which a sovereign, such as the king, can despise the infamy, but which does not palliate the intentions and the error of the government that suffers it. The danger grows every day. It is necessary to be heard at once, or be heard no more.
Two powers who esteem each other and who fear each other no more than they are able, without ceasing to esteem themselves, have no need to go about to explain themselves. France will not be less strong for being just, and Prussia has no other ambition than her independence and the security of her allies. In the actual position of affairs, both one and the other would risk every thing in protracting this uncertainty. The undersigned has received orders in consequence, to declare that the king expects with justice from his imperial majesty,
1. That the whole of the French troops which are called by no fair pretence into Germany, should immediately repass the Rhine without exception, beginning their march on the very day that the king expects the answer of the emperor, and continue it without halting; for this immediate and complete retreat which is the only pledge of security that the king can now receive at the point to which affairs have been brought.
2. That no obstacle shall be raised on the part of France to the formation of the League of the North, which shall include without any exception, all the states not named in the fundamental act of the confederation of the Rhine.
3. That a negotiation shall be immediately opened, to decide in a permanent manner on all the points in dispute, and that for Prussia its preliminary basis shall be, the separation of Westphalia from the French empire, and the re-occupation of the three Abbeys by the Prussian troops.
The instant that his majesty is assured that this basis is accepted, he will resume that attitude which he has quitted with regret, and will become to France that frank and peaceable neighbor who for so many years has seen, without jealousy, the glory of her brave people, for whose prosperity he has been anxious. But the intelligence of the march of the French troops compels his majesty to ascertain immediately what he is to do. The undersigned is charged to insist on an immediate answer, which at all events must reach his majesty's head-quarters by the 8th of October; his majesty still hoping that it will arrive there time enough, that the unexpected and rapid progress of events, and the presence of the troops should not put either party under the necessity of providing for his safety.
The undersigned is particularly instructed to declare, in the most solemn manner, that peace is the sincere wish of his majesty, and that he only requires that which can contribute to make it permanent. The causes of his apprehensions, the claims which he had for another connection, from France, are unfolded in the letter of his majesty to the Emperor, and are calculated to obtain from that monarch the last permanent pledge of a new order of things.
The undersigned embraces this opportunity to renew to the Prince of Benevento the assurances of his high consideration.
Paris, Oct. 3, 1805. Signed KNOBELSDORFF. The Senate referred the communication to a special commission.

Considerable alarm has been excited in some of the neighboring towns, we are told, by the appearance of mad dogs. Some individuals and several cattle have been bitten. Perhaps the following remedy for the bite of these animals may not be useless:
"A cure for the bite of a mad dog, by Dr. De Moneta, physician in ordinary to his Polish majesty. The doctor advises to cover the wound with fresh earth, or with stuff to imbibe the saliva of the animal, and then to wash it with water. At the same time, warm half a pound of butter, in four times as much vinegar; and when the wound is cleared, apply a compress of linen, steeped in that mixture, and moisten it very often with the same for nine days; after which time you may safely remove the compress, and cure the wound in the usual way. During the time the vinegar is used outwardly, the patient must take internally four times a day, in doses of an ounce and one half of vinegar, warmed; with a little fresh butter; and his common drink for at least fifteen days, must be pure water, a little vinegar, and juice of citron. Strong liquor is very useful, as is any emotion of anger or impatience. Plethoric patients may be blooded; but this precaution the author regards as little necessary. Dr. De Moneta has used the same remedy against the bites of vipers, and other venomous reptiles, and always with success. He has prevented the hydrophobia in more than sixty people; and many other physicians, who have followed his method have found it equally effectual. It is remarkable that in Italy vinegar has also been lately discovered to be a remedy for this dreadful disorder."
GREENSBURG, (Penn.) Dec. 26.
A gentleman who passed through this place on Wednesday last, on his way to the city of Washington, informs that he left Frankfort, (Kentucky) on the 10th instant; that the grand jury of the district court of Kentucky found no bill against col. Burr; and that he was accordingly discharged from the further attendance on said court. That General Adair late a United States Senator from that state summoned as a witness on the part of the United States, proved the following facts
That while at the city of Washington he had personal knowledge that a correspondence had passed between Mr. Burr, and the president relative to a military equipment to act against the Spanish possessions;—that col. Burr had offered to the President that if he would furnish him with a million and a half of dollars, he would undertake the conquest of the Floridas, and the Spanish possessions in Louisiana—that the president declined the offer for the present, preferring negotiation, being desirous of waiting the event, before any decisive steps should be taken; that Burr's preparations were made under the sanction of government, so as to be ready to act in the event of a failure of the negotiation.—it was also proved to the grand jury, that Mr. Burr had become possessed of a Spanish grant of land in Louisiana, made to Baron de Bastrop, which is said to consist of four million square. That his intention was now to make a settlement of these lands.—That the conditions on which he proposed to make the settlement, were as follows: He caused it to be laid off in small tracts of from 3 to 500 acres. To every settler he was to give one hundred acres in fee and ten dollars in cash, provided he raised a cabin and cleared a road to the adjoining tract; and in case of a rupture with Spain would serve as a volunteer in the army of the United States, under col. Burr for the invasion of the Floridas, and the Spanish part of Louisiana.
U, on this evidence which it is said will be published, col. Burr was acquitted by the grand jury. The president's proclamation had not yet arrived in Kentucky.—A ball, in honor of Mr. Burr, was given at Frankfort, at which the governor of Kentucky acted as a manager.

MASONIC FESTIVAL.
On Saturday the 27th instant being St. John the Evangelist's day, a number of the brethren convened at the Mansion House Hotel, and partook of an elegant entertainment provided for the occasion, after which the following Toasts were drank.

The United States of America; May they prove through all ages, a Sanctuary for Brothers, and a Lodge for the Virtues.

(With the accustomed honors.) 4. To all true and Faithful Brothers. "The virtuous man and honest; He's our brother and he alone." 5. The memory of our late Brother general, George Washington.

(With the accustomed honors.) 6. The belligerent nations of Europe, May they with plumb, square, and level, in hand, be employed in again erecting the Temple of Peace. "Tis the gift of heaven, The nurse of Science, Art's fair patroness, And Merit's best protector." 7. The principles of Masonry founded in the immutable law of truth and justice. "Soft and sweet are they As looks of Charity or voice of lambs That bleat upon the morning."
8. The Twin Columns, Piety towards God, and love for fellow man. "Their Capitals adorn the Lodge above, Their Base is stronger than the strength of Death." 9. Lodges, Nos. 67 and 73, and all others celebrating the day; May they supported by wisdom, strength, and beauty, endure like "Eliab's Pillar reared on Sirah's plain."
VOLUNTEERS.
By the right worshipful Grand Master.—Masonry—While we have charity for those who, through ignorance, revile it, may each member evince to the world the purity of its principles, by the correctness of his walk through life.
By Brother William Page. The first great Light of the Holy Bible—May it forever adorn the altar and the column perpetually shine within the temple and the veil, and ever more move onward before the journeyings of the craft, as the Pillar of Fire moving laid the wilderness of old.
By Brother Thomas Ross, Esq. The second Great Light of Masonry within the perfect Triangle, the Light of Friendship, Morality, and the pure and unadulterated Religion, which visits the fatherless and the widow, the stranger and the poor in their varied afflictions.
By Brother Thomas M'Euen. The third great Light of Masonry—May we ever bear in mind that it inculcates benevolence, charity and universal philanthropy, and teaches us to avoid intemperance and excess.
By Brother Samuel F. Bradford. May every Mason esteem the first great Light in the Golden Candelstick of the Temple, as infinitely superior to the Light of nature, reason and philosophy, united in triple rank—as superior to the sun of genius, and the morning star of science.
By Brother John Dubarry. Our brethren who keep not within compass, nor act upon the square; while pity solicits for them the tear of a brother's tender regret, let Justice order the Recording Scribe to blot their polluted names from the Tablet of the Lodge.
By Brother A. H. Liskeep. The grand lodges throughout the world, may they ever maintain the laws of charity and good will to all mankind.
"Those laws that raise and dignify our being, Nature's great Edicts, in the human heart."
By Brother Peter Le Barbier Duplessis. Our brethren oppressed or distressed, may the supreme omnipotent and almighty ruler grant them speedy relief!
By Brother James Hamilton. The fair sex, may they ever find ready entrance to the lodges, of our hearts.
After the Grand Master had retired: The right worshipful James Milnor, esq. Grand Master of the state of Pennsylvania.
"The secret consciousness Of duty well performed: the public voice, Of praise, that honors virtue and rewards it, All these are his."

SATURDAY, JANUARY 10.
MORE OF BURR. We are authorised to state from unquestionable authority, that James Wilson, who was secretary to the Wood county meeting last fall, has been arrested as one of Burr's adherents, was examined before the magistrates and found GUILTY. It is also stated that on the 24th there were between Pittsburg and Marietta, 1000 of Burr's men on the Ohio river.
[Virginia Gaz.]
From such authority as we have reason to believe correct, we hear that there is a report in town, which states, that an express has arrived at Washington, with dispatches from Orleans to government. It states that the budget is not yet opened; but that much has leaked out; That many and great men in that country are in close league with col. Burr; that even gov. Claiborne is very strongly suspected; that gen. Wilkinson stands almost alone in his attachment to the union; and that the aspect of affairs in the W. and SW. is truly alarming.
[Fed. Gaz.]
Late letters from France state that the generals Kellerman and Rapp were ordered to advance with the army of reserve from the Rhine, towards the grand army; and thence it is presumed that the French intend an irruption into Poland.
[Phil. pap.]
From Gibraltar, Nov. 17. "We arrived here yesterday in the Two Brothers, after a passage of 23 days from Marblehead. On our arrival here we did not find Mr. Lear, nor any of ouramed vessels. When the Tunisian ambassador went on shore he heard that war had broke out between his country and Algiers. He was much alarmed; and has expressed his desire that we should remain here, until the Constitution frigate arrives, to take him in safety to Tunis."

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
Of the great efficacy of the Patent 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 these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it so much good. A bottle was procured
from Mr. Mireh's, and I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun. No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia.
Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long-confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment, which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle of mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltner and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of shewing 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.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common 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, Strains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be ad-
ministered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation most 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 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 or Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton-Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it externally 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.
