RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. " We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801. " The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804. " We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801. " On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction."

EMBARGO.
DEBATE on Mr. Hillhouse's motion for a repeal.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Pickering's Speech continued.]
By the statement in my hand, lately received, and which is of unquestionable authority, I find, that at one insurance office in Boston, 43 policies have been written, on vessels engaged in foreign voyages since the first of January, 1808. Of these, 5 were undetermined.
1 vessel (the Neutrality) bound from Marseilles to Boston, captured and condemned at Gibraltar, for violating the blockade declared by the British orders in council.
37 arrived safely. In all 43.
It is stated, that there were three policies on the Neutrality; and that possibly there might be more than one policy on one vessel among the 37 safe arrivals.
At another office in Boston, out of seventy-five risks, principally to the West-Indies,
8 vessels were captured by the French, of which the British re-captured 2.
1 captured by the British, supposed to be French property.
10—about this number are undetermined and the rest—about
55 have ended safely. In all 75.
At another office in Boston, out of somewhat more than 100 risks,
2 vessels were captured by the British, of which two were condemned for breach of orders in council; 1 probably enemy's property, and 1 remained under adjudication.
1 captured & condemned by the French; and
1 seized by them at Alicante while they had power there.
The premiums of insurance have been about 11 per cent. to and from the West-Indies, for the whole voyage.
7 per cent. from the W. Indies, with cargo on board.
9 to 10 per cent. from Europe, if not violating British orders.
4 to 5 per cent. from Europe, against French capture only.
By a statement received from Salem, on the correctness of which I can rely, I find that in the district of Salem and Beverly 22 vessels sailed by the president's permission between the 5th of April and the 10th of August. Of these vessels, one sailed to Sumatra, one to Senegal, and the rest to the different ports in the W. Indies. Of the whole number,
1 returned leaky and remained at home.
12 returned in safety, and
9 remained undetermined; but it was not known that any of them had been detained or condemned by any foreign power. In all 22.
The insurance on the Sumatra voyage out and home was 22 per cent.
Martinico, } The voyage out and home, 9 Havanna, } to 10 per cent. Surinam, }
The premium of insurance from Calcutta to the U. States, the last summer and autumn, has been at 8 per cent.
Thus, Mr. President, we see that the risk on our foreign trade has been very little increased since the issuing of the French decree of Berlin and the British orders in council.
The gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Smith) asks—What would have been the insurance on an American vessel bound to France? I am not informed. Perhaps 75 to 90 per cent. though it is not probable that our merchants would hazard such a voyage, or that the underwriters would insure them—But what does this prove? Why that the risk under the British orders is so great, in attempting to enter a port in France, as perhaps to amount to an actual blockade.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, December 30.
DEBATE
On the Resolution for raising Fifty Thousand Volunteers
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Gardenier's Speech concluded.]
A gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Story) said yesterday, if I understand him, that the embargo had failed so far as to its coercive character. Is it the sense of the house that it should be repealed? Is it the sense of the house (as the gentleman from Massachusetts also intimated as his opinion) that there should be a declaration of war? If so, it might be proper to raise an army. But I have no disposition to raise an army until there be a war,
There had been a time, Mr. Gardenier said, when the raising 12,000 men was considered and held out by many honest politicians as a measure dangerous to the independence of the states and the rights of the people individually. Last year 6000 men were raised, and fifty thousand more called for. He had thought that in this country no standing armies should be raised in time of peace; that there was a sacred injunction in the constitution forbidding it. Perhaps he did not correctly understand the subject; this might not be a standing army, because its term of service was limited to two years; but it might be extended two or ten years more. He put the question to gentlemen whether in a state of peace, under the operation of that very system, which had been represented as a substitute for war, it would be proper to raise this force? He could not reconcile it with a due estimate of the interests of the country on the one hand, or the sacred injunctions of the constitution on the other, to raise an army to such an extent. An army is to be raised; the mode in which it is to be employed is uncertain. The twelve thousand men which he had before mentioned, was a body which could not be employed to the detriment of the liberties of the country; for almost every section could raise a force to resist such an army if an attempt had been made by it to destroy their liberties. We had another security too against the force being used to a bad purpose. At the head of this army had been the great hero of the revolution—and also the man who had next to him done more for the prosperity of the country than any other, under whose luminous and creative mind, the resources of the whole country had been brought into action, and spread an universal hilarity over the nation, instead of that gloom & poverty which had preceded its influence in the U. S. This army so small, and under such commanders threatened not the public liberty. Yet there had been men zealous and eager that none, the slightest occasion should be given for any one to suppose that they were about by military force to invade the liberties of the country, who had seen horrors in this small army which they could scarce find words to depict. Where were these men, he asked, now that an army of more than four times the number was going to be raised, when those two heroes were departed to the silent tomb, when other commanders were to have the direction of this military force?—Where were the men who had been struck with this patriotic alarm? Why were not their voices raised now, when a force was offered to be raised, which if employed to overrun the liberties of the people, could not be resisted, but would spread itself over the country and stifle the efforts of patriotism. To which, if resistance should be made, either the country must be put under military despotism, or the struggle would cost the country all it had acquired since the revolution, and the citizens would have to wade knee deep in blood to preserve that liberty which they gained by the glorious struggle of the revolution. Are we more safe now (said he) with an army of 50,000 men, under our present commanders, than we were with 12,000 men under Washington and Hamilton? I could wish to believe that we were. But I have not that faith which blinds my judgment and destroys my recollection. No sir, indeed I have not; I cannot extinguish from my memory, that in one section of this country, the liberty of the citizen, the judicial power, which should be inviolable, and the sacred right of habeas corpus, perished at the touch of military power. I do not believe the country safe under this army; I do not believe that the persons of this house are safe under it; and I would protest against it at the hazard of my head. Such are my own feelings, and I could wish and I would strive, if I knew the way to the hearts of men, to recal the feelings of '98 and '99. Or is it true in all cases, even with the warmest patriotism, that tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur cum ipsis ? Perhaps, however, I may not see clearly; some ar-
gument may be found in favour of this proposition.
What course, he asked, was to be given to this army? Was a state of war expected between this country and France? There was now no point at which we could come into contact with her. Formerly, when the French government had a despotic influence over that of Spain, the Spaniards on our western frontier could have been set in motion against us. But now we had nothing to fear in that respect. Were we to have war with Great Britain? Was that at length determined on? Had it been settled out of doors that we were to have war, and were the house now called upon to vote what could only be a legitimate consequence of a declaration of war? This army must be intended to be employed out of the country, for to self defence the militia were surely competent. Was this nation to go to war with Great Britain and Spain? Was this force to be employed against Canada, or in giving legitimate form to the Burr project? Was it to go to Mexico? Mr. Gardenier said his mind had been struck with a kind of horror which he could not express at this projected army, and could not sit still, and give a silent vote when a project which he believed to carry with it so many mischiefs, perhaps such utter ruin, was set on foot.
He did not believe, he said, that the public liberty would be more safe in the hands of those who now directed the public concerns, than it had been formerly in the hands of other rulers. There was a fact which filled his mind with alarm, communicated to him, and that years ago, by a man whose mind was as pure as that of any human being that ever existed—a fact concerning the opinions as to what ought to have been the form of government, and as to the theories of the gentleman who most probably was to be high in power in this country, which had made such an impression on him, that he could not but at this moment view this subject with increased horror and dread. He would, however, say no more of that at present. But in his plain and humble conception, the public liberty was in danger—and here, within these walls, within this sanctuary of American independence, it was that the public liberty was to be saved. It was here, by recurring to first principles, that free states should be jealous of military power, that he looked for its salvation. At a time when, under pretence of enforcing the embargo, an unconstitutional power was proposed to be placed in the hands of executive officers, when an arbitrary power was to be exercised on mere suspicion, when with all this was combined a strong and overwhelming military force, he could not at such a period be silent.
Yes, sir, (said he) I do in my soul and conscience believe, that if ever there was a time when we should make a solemn pause, and look around us, and survey our condition with a cool and calculating eye, this is the period; and I, for one, have not hesitated to give the alarm. I would place myself here, upon the ramparts of the constitution, and give the alarm to the country. I would place myself here on the signal tower of the public liberty, and sound the tocsin of alarm to the nation. We can lose nothing by being jealous, by withdrawing enormous power from executive agents, by a contrary conduct we may lose every thing sacred without a hope of regaining it. (Debate to be continued.)
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES U. S.
SATURDAY, Jan. 14. NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT.
The documents from the Senate on the subject of the naval establishment, were ordered to be printed.
The house agreed now to take up the report of the committee of the whole of yesterday on the amendment from the Senate, 43 to 39.
Mr. Nicholas moved to postpone the consideration of the subject till Monday, that the documents might be printed—54 to 31.
DISTRESSED SEAMEN.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill for the relief of sick, disabled and distressed seamen—Mr. Desha in the Chair.
The blank for the sum to be appropriated for the purpose, was filled with 200,000 dollars, 68 rising in the affirmative.
The committee rose and reported the bill. The question on concurrence with the committee in filling the blank, having been stated—
Mr. Burwell said he should vote against this, because he did not consider this class of the community as particularly entitled to relief from the government; and even if it were proper, there was no security in the bill that the money would be properly applied. He did not believe that there was any such distress among the seamen as represented.
Mr. Newton explained that the secretary of the treasury had the direction of the fund for the relief of distressed and disabled seamen, which had heretofore been supplied from a tax on their wages. This fund was now exhausted; and the secretary of the treasury said, if money were not appropriated, the doors of the hospitals must be closed against them, an office which the secretary did not wish to perform. He had therefore recommended an appropriation of 200,000 dollars for their relief. Mr. Newton then stated the peculiar hardships attached to the seaman's situation, &c.
Mr. Holland considered this as a novel measure. The seamen who were in distress he conceived entitled to relief from the respective states in which they might be, who were bound to support their poor. Indeed this money could not be applied to the use of the embargoed seamen generally, because it was only for the relief of those who were subject to the municipal regulations of the state in which they may be.
Mr. Quincy observed, that the fund for the support of distressed seamen had heretofore been derived from a tax on the wages of the seaman. This fund, which had heretofore been sufficient, having been destroyed by the suspension of commerce, he asked whether the general government was not pledged to do something for these men, who would not have suffered but for its measures.
Mr. Smilie was in favor of the bill. The funds heretofore established for the relief of our seamen had been destroyed by a measure which had been deemed necessary for the good of the country; and he thought assistance ought to be given to them. Mr. Smilie called for the reading of the Secretary of the Treasury's report on the subject.
Mr. Talmaige said, that every gentleman who attended to the reasoning of the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, could not fail to be convinced of the rectitude of his statement, and the conclusion which he had drawn from it. The general government had destroyed the service, by which the seamen had heretofore been supported; in doing which they had thrown a burthen on the community in the same ratio as the service had been destroyed. The Secretary of the Treasury had fairly and candidly told the house, that the fund for the support of the distressed seamen was destroyed. What should be done? Should nothing be apportioned from the funds of this government to support the establishment? He hoped and trusted that there would. For the information of the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Burwell) who did not know that this class of men was more distressed than any other, Mr. T. said, he would mention that he had letters from different parts of the union, particularly from Philadelphia, from one of the most respectable merchants in that city, informing him that the merchants had formed a fund for the relief of these persons, which had been exhausted, the seamen being in the greatest distress, without a stick of wood in this severe weather even to cook their victuals; and requesting him as a member of the general government to exert himself for their relief. Mr. T. said he would venture to declare that this was the case in all the ports of the U. S. and he thought it most unquestionably became the government to grant some sort of relief to these citizens. He believed that the appropriation proposed was proper; and that less than that would be too little for the purpose.
Mr. D. R. Williams thought the object of the bill very laudable, but he wished a modification of the principle. He was willing to advance the 200,000 dollars, subject to be refunded, from the funds hereafter to be reserved for the support of the establishment. He thought this amendment would be highly proper, because from a document in his hands, he found that the funds of the establishment for the relief of sick and disabled seamen, had always been more than sufficient for its support. In June 1802, the balance of the fund was $76,183 in 1803, the balance was $37,448. This shewing that the funds arising out of 20 cents a month tax on the seamen's wages, was more than adequate for the purpose for which it had been established, and that the fund would hereafter be able to refund to the government the monies now about to be appropriated. Considering the commercial prosperity of this government since 1803 it was fairly presumable, he said, that at the time of the imposition of the embargo, the balance on hand was greater than at the former period. Under this view of the subject, though he had not the slightest wish to delay the bill, he moved that it lie on the table till an amendment could be prepared.
Mr. Newton said that the fund heretofore derived from the tax on seamen, had not been more than adequate to their support. In the town in which he lived, persons was

At an election for Directors of the Marine Insurance Company of Alexandria, on Saturday the 14th instant, the following gentlemen were elected for the ensuing year.
 James H. Hooe,  William Herbert,  John Fanney,  John Hopkins,  John C. Vowell,  James Patton,  Phineus Fanney,  Cuthbert Powell,  Ferdinand Marsteller,  William Hodgson,  John Ramsay,  Wm. Hartshorne,  Jacob Hoffman,  Joseph Riddle,  Charles Simms. 
And at a meeting of the Directors yesterday, William Hartshorne was re-elected President; James Bruce Nickolls, Secretary, and Jonah Thompson a Director, in the place of Wm. Hartshorne.
Serious and Important.
A letter has been received in town from New York, stating that an express arrived there from Boston on the evening of the 11th instant, bringing information that very serious disturbances had taken place, and that the people had determined to oppose the acts of government. A meeting of the citizens of New York had also been called to meet on Friday the 13th instant, at 12 o'clock, to deliberate on the late measures of the general government. In the province of Maine, the people had met and appointed Committees of Safety and Correspondence. Ten vessels are stated to have sailed from New York in defiance of the embargo laws; and the brig Mary Jane forced her way out of one of the eastern ports, after an action with a Revenue Cutter, who had the clue of her main-sail shot away, and was obliged to shear off. In Newburyport, a cannon, the property of the town, was seized by some persons who were conveying it to the U. S. fort near that harbor: the magistrates of the town became alarmed & rescued it.

REBELLION!
FROM LYNN. — "The affiliated jacobin club, in this place, have, it seems, for some cause or for no cause, become incensed against their Sovereign Lord and Master Thomas the First, and regardless of their oaths of loyalty, did, on Friday night last, hang him in disgraceful effigy upon the schooner prize to the government, lying in Puddle Dock; for which crime they ought all undoubtedly to be denationalized."
[Bost. pap.]
In the House of Representatives of the United States, Friday, Jan. 13, Mr. Burwell, from the committee appointed on the 23d ult. presented a bill authorizing the President of the United States to grant permission to vessels to depart from the ports of the United States for the purpose of importing salt. It was read a first and second time and made the order of the day for yesterday.
The following letter, with the bill, was presented at the same time by Mr. Burwell:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT. January 7th, 1809.
SIR, I had the honor to receive your letter of the 27 ult. requesting such information as I may possess respecting the means of obtaining immediate and permanent supplies of salt from the establishments of the United States.
The annexed statement A. shews the annual consumption of imported salt for each of the calendar years 1802—1807, after deducting the quantities used for the codfishery, and also for pickled fish and salted provisions exported from the United States.
The annual average is almost three millions of bushels, weighing each 56lbs. equal to 75,000 tons, and requiring in fact 125,000 tons of shipping for its importation. It must also be observed that the deductions above mentioned being calculated by the allowances on fishery and drawbacks; and the allowance being in fact, greater than the amount of duty on salt employed in the codfishery, the quantity of imported salt actually consumed in the United States is greater than appears by the statement.
The statement B. is intended to shew the gross amount of salt, annually imported for the years 1802—1807, and the countries from which imported. The manner in which the accounts are kept at the treasury has rendered it more convenient to give the amount in this instance for the years ending the 30th September, than for calendar years.
It will be perceived by the statement A. that the domestic establishments have not increased, even in the same ratio as the population of the United States, for the average of their consumption of imported salt, is greater for the last than for the first years of the statement. Considering also the regularity of the importations, and the well known fact that the article has been principally imported as ballast from England, there is reason to believe that the quantity of salt now in the country is very inadequate to the supply of the present year; and I am confident that there can be no reasonable expectation of the deficiency being supplied for that year from internal resources.
I am therefore clearly of opinion, that every encouragement should be given to immediate importations, and that measures should at the same time be adopted for the purpose of insuring, for the succeeding years, a supply from domestic establishments.
The only means of promoting immediate importations, appear to be, first, either to except salt from the operation of the non-intercourse act, or to put off the general operation of that act till the first of July next; which last alternative appears in every respect the most eligible: secondly, to authorize the President to permit American vessels to proceed, during the continuance of the embargo, to such foreign ports as may be designated by law, for the sole purpose of bringing in cargoes of salt.
The internal resources must be drawn from either the salt springs in various parts of the Western states, from the Onondago springs in the state of New-York, or from the Atlantic shores.
The high price of salt in the western states does not arise from the actual expense incurred in manufacturing the article; for it does not cost more than 75 cents per bushel at the Indiana or Wabash Saline; and yet its market price has not been less than two dollars. It follows that the price is kept up by reason of the quantity made being much less than the actual demand, and therefore that no considerable addition can be expected from that quarter; none certainly beyond the wants of that part of the country.
The quantity of salt made at the Onondago Springs may certainly be considerably increased. I have been informed that about 300,000 bush. are now annually made; & that the amount, perhaps, might be increased to 600,000. On that subject, however, I cannot form a positive opinion; but am satisfied that the most sanguine calculations fall very short of the annual consumption of the United States, and that the principal resource to be relied on is the increase of establishments on the sea shore. These may be multiplied in numerous places from Massachusetts to Georgia; and although the repeal of the law laying a duty on importation has checked their progress, experience has proven that capital might be advantageously employed in that manufacture. I think that nothing more is necessary to induce at present the application of a capital sufficient in a short time to produce an adequate supply, than the certainty of not being ruined by the competition of large importations at reduced prices. But it is doubtful whether it would be most eligible to effect that object by a bounty on the domestic manufacture, or by a renewal of the duty on the importation, to take place after the 1st of January, 1810, and to continue for years. A combination of both would perhaps be best calculated to ensure success, and also most equitable. But a duty on importation alone is the easiest to execute, and is not liable to any constitutional objections.
The encouragement thus given to domestic establishments, may indeed, during the number of years to which the duty or bounty would be limited, encrase the price of salt. But that temporary inconvenience should be cheerfully submitted to, if an adequate supply of that necessary article may
thereby be ever after insured on reasonable terms, and from internal resources not liable to be affected by war or by any other interruption of commerce.
I have the honor to be, &c. ALBERT GALLATIN, Hon. William A. Burwell, Chairman, &c.

FRENCH LANGUAGE.
A GENTLEMAN, who has devoted a considerable part of his time to the study of foreign languages and the manner in which they may be taught with most advantage, is desirous to give Lessons in French, which, being now considered as a necessary branch of polite education, he flatters himself to meet with sufficient encouragement—and the method of teaching which he means to adopt, (being that of Mr. A. Luff, so generally approved of) added to a strict attention to a clear and proper pronunciation, will enable his pupils to acquire the language in a shorter time, than that which has hitherto been in use—of which a little experience will prove the truth of his assertion.
As his family lives a short distance from Alexandria, he intends to remove to the town as soon as he finds a prospect to defray the expences of house-keeping, and invites therefore those who wish to be instructed to make their applications, the sooner the better, to Mr. GENERES, who will give the necessary information.

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 HAHN'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 gratifying 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 amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, 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 head ache, 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 Hahn's Anti-Bilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, 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 Restorative,
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, obstinate gleets, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.

ALSO, The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—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 unremitted efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Greas, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pain from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-sick persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen as 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 to 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 affection, 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 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.
