USEFUL PROPERTIES
OF
YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
THIS highly useful Machine is found by experience to excel any hitherto in use. It will wash as many cloaths (by the assistance of one person) in an hour as can be washed in a whole day, without the possibility of injuring, fretting or tearing the most delicate article, and with less than half the quantity of soap. It occupies very little more space than the common wash-tub, and with the least care will not create any slop or wet—the construction is very simple and attended with little expense. A further description of its qualities is now deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed none will purchase without examining it.
We the subscribers do hereby certify that we have found, on trial, the above named Machine to answer fully the above description. Given under our hands this 5th day of May, A. D. 1809.
 John Sellers,  John Markland,  Elizabeth Lomax,  Sufan Sellers,  Samuel Hatterflay.  Eleanor Bufel,  Sarah Drown,  Mary Higdon,  John Drown.

Doctor I. J. Comyn,
A professional DENTIST of Baltimore, RESPECTFULLY acquaints the LADEIS and GENTLEMEN of Alexandria, that he intends to practice in this place for a few days, in all the various branches of his profession. No genteel person of either sex, can give or receive pleasure or comfort, by teeth coated with tartar or decayed gums, or festid breath. His method of cleaning the teeth will be found both easy and efficacious, as hundreds can attest in Baltimore and elsewhere. Without giving pain, or hurting the enamel, he removes the tartar, &c. when the teeth will assume a beautiful appearance the gums adhering to the teeth; but if the state of the gums require it, doctor C. will give to the person an antiscorbutic lotion of chemical preparation, which gained the applause of hundreds both in Europe and America. It is pleasant, innocent, and effectual, in smoothing and whitening the teeth and curing the gums, rendering them red and firm, preventing the decay of the teeth and sweetening the breath. Doct. C. fits artificial teeth from one to an entire set, with such nicety, as to answer the useful purposes of nature, and of so natural an appearance that it is impossible to distinguish them from real ones. Dr. C. flatters himself from his being regularly bred to the practice of physick, as well as to the Dentist Business, and his long experience on the continent of Europe (France and Spain) to give to all those who favour him with their commands, every possible satisfaction. May 13. d. N. B. Doctor C. will wait on any lady or gentleman at their respective houses, or may be consulted at the City Tavern.

FROM THE LISBON GAZETTE, March 23.
Proclamation of Marshal Soult, to the Portuguese, with remarks.
"In consequence of the memorable successes obtained by the army of his majesty the emperor and king, my august sovereign, I again approach your territory, to take possession of the whole of it, in the name of my master."
"When the French before, in the month of February last, ventured to pass the Minho, they in like manner issued a paper with the ridiculous title of proclamation; they were, however, defeated, and pursued to the frontiers of another province, more open, and where he hoped to encounter fewer obstacles. They are mistaken, they will meet with a barrier of brass—they may occupy some small part of the frontier country; but an incessant and relentless war shall make them abandon their enterprize; the whole of the country they can never conquer."
"I do not, therefore, expect that I shall meet with any resistance, but flatter myself I shall be received with the same cordiality with which we were received little more than a year ago."
"We received the French well in Nov. 1807, because his royal highness expressly commanded it, and it was never expected that they would prove so cruel and rapacious as we found them. Spain likewise then made common cause with the French. Does not marshal Soult know how we were treated by Junot, who trampled on our independence and our constitution; made slaves of our youth, violated our women, defaced the images of our saints. What horror! what desperation! And can he flatter himself we will receive him cordially? Ah! had such a proposition been made to our ancestors, what fury would have possessed their souls. Our neighbors in their wars against us ever advanced and relied on some equivocal rights of succession; and during the eight centuries our monarchy has lasted, no insolent stranger has ever dared to say to us, I wish to be lord of your kingdom, receive us cordially. But it was reserved for the present age to see and hear monstrous extravagancies of every kind."
"What effect can resistance have! What can you propose to yourselves, when all those armies which frenzy had assembled in Spain are destroyed?"
"This is a great falsehood; the same armies exist which did exist; and if they did not, why, after having entered Madrid more than three months ago, have you not been able to advance either to Castello-Branco or to Badajoz? Besides, do you not know that Portugal contains three millions of inhabitants, and consequently 500,000 capable of bearing arms; and all willing and eager to bear them. Perhaps you imagine we have not arms; but we have considerable quantities, and our government has no doubt applied to England for more. Perhaps you think that our armies are separated, and cannot be united. This might have been the case under the old system, but certainly is not under the new; we have considered, and are aware of the necessity of uniting our forces, or at least making them act in concert."
"That English army which made its appearance on the continent only to foment the spirit of disorder and rebellion and inflict all kinds of calamities, has been defeated, and forced to embark for England, after having lost one half of its soldiers, its best generals, all its ammunition, its horses and baggage."
"We are weary of so much repetition with respect to the English army. Bessieres, in January, said, that the English had lost 10,000 men; and Soult says they lost 17,500, the half of 35,000, of which the army of gen. Moore at first consisted; we shall no doubt soon be told that all the English were killed or taken, and not a single man re-embarked. The French should know that several British divisions are already disembarking in the Tagus, and that more are expected; and, as the British cabinet knows that its first interest is the interest of the peninsula, it is greatly to be hoped that a British force will land in the Asturias, and, joining those valiant mountaineers, proceed to take Ferrol and Corunna, and attack the rear-guard of Soult. It will likewise be very proper that England should send effectual succors to Catalonia, to reconquer
Barcelona, because that place remaining in the power of the enemy, greatly impedes the operations of the patriots in the South of Spain."
"Portuguese, in the name of his majesty the emperor and king, Napoleon, I offer you that peace which you yourselves have driven from your country."
"You come to offer us peace! With whom then are we at war but with you? We were at peace when your arrival caused war.—Your proposal is self-contradictory. The peace we seek must be compatible with the sacred rights and honor of our august sovereign, and our national independence.—Do not change the meaning of words; what you offer us is slavery and not peace. You propose that we should be quiet, and suffer you to seize without resistance the government of the nation; this is truly a very extraordinary manner of treating for peace."
"I offer you protection for yourselves and for your religion, and the ministers of that religion."
"Napoleon, in this manner, offered to protect our property for a contribution of 40 millions of cruzados; and M. Junot increased this favor by distributing it in such a manner as to produce 80. The same Junot protected the plate and gold in the churches, taking only the sacred utensils necessary for your defence; he was likewise willing to divest religion of the superstitutions by which it was dishonored; in other words, like Julian the apostate, to reduce it to that ridiculous simplicity which must render it contemptible."
"I offer you, besides, an entire oblivion of the past, and will engage that you shall receive the clemency of his majesty the emperor."
"Clemency from a man entirely a stranger to us! and from so ferocious a tyrant. It is not possible either to wish it, or to hope it."
"You shall enjoy the benefit of the sublime institutions of the same august sovereign.—It will be easy for me to deliver you from the calamities which you cannot deny that you endure, and assuage the evils which you have suffered, if I arrange your administrations, and organise anew the Portuguese army."
"We have experienced the sublime government of your august friend, and Lord protect us from it! Of our calamities you are the cause; for Portugal was rich and flourishing before your fatal arrival. Your presence far from assuaging, would most miserably aggravate our evils. Our administrations and our armies are already organised; and it would be the last of degradations to suffer your government again to disorganise them absolutely."
"There are among you citizens whose intentions have ever been pure, and who ought now to exercise their influence to, promote the re-establishment of good order—They may be assured, their services will be well received, and that the most efficacious protection will be afforded them whatever their situation, whether in the army, the state, or the church."
"If marshal Soult means by these pure citizens any partisans of the French government, they are a dreadful disgrace to their country, to say no more."
"Reflect, Portuguese, on your situation."
"It is the best way in the world for defending ourselves against our enemies."
"And consider well those generous offers while it is time. But let your submission be prompt and sincere, if you wish to avoid the evils from which I would save you."
"And so it is only for our good that you came from Poland, to our distant country. What exalted charity; you are a new St. Francis. But the ridiculous custom which begun at the revolution, still continues, by which the modern French profess and write the direct contrary to what they practise."
"And your country shall be made to shine with a new splendor."
"No doubt by causing Beira, Alto, and Algarve, to produce some new Camoens.—Less brilliancy, we believe will suit us better."

Chancellor of the Exchequer.
We had foreseen that Mr. Eppes must succeed Mr. Campbell in this station, in case of the re-election of the old Speaker. Gen. Varnum had too much sense, and too correct a knowledge of the true interests of his party, to promote Mr. Alston, who was lieutenant general of that committee during the last session. Mr. Alston is a disappointed man, and already firmly believes in the ingratitude of republics. Mr. Eppes commences his career with peculiar spirit and delicacy. Mr. Randolph proposes an enquiry into the conduct of the late administration, saying that he does certainly know that there have been some misapplications of the public treasure, and does as certainly suspect others. Mr. Eppes, son in law of the late president, starts up and says, "Give the business into my hands—it belongs to the committee of ways and means." It was very properly rejoined by Mr. Randolph, that in proposing a select committee, he had treated Mr. E. with a peculiarity of delicacy, as it could not be presumed that he would wish to manage an inquiry into the conduct of one with whom he was so intimately and delicately connected.
(Freeman's Journal.)
TUNIS.
A new danger to commerce will arise from its being carried on with Tunis, as an entrepot for the supply of France. The Bey of that regency will no doubt feel his avarice excited by the sight of such valuable property; and he may not be contented without some endeavor to satiate it. Whether, in this case, it will terminate in demands to be made upon the government, or whether he will lay his hands directly upon American property, must depend upon the predominance of caprice or treacherous cunning, the almost exclusive stimulants to action consulted by barbarian despots.
After the protracting and expensive management of the late war with Tripoli, we can expect no repressive effect to be produced by the awe inspired by our navy.
An article in the treaty with Tunis, which authorizes the Bey to make use of American vessels, when he may stand in need of them, has heretofore been used by him to the injury of the owner, and possibly may be again. His courtiers have only to hatch a commercial adventure, and fix upon the American vessel to carry it for them. The Bey then intervenes and requires her under the treaty.
(North American.)
On Thursday last a parcel of the democrats of this city and the neighborhood, with the mayor of the city at their head, gave a public dinner to Michael Bright and his comrades in honor of their insurrection against the government of the United States. The only thing worthy of notice in regard to this dinner is a letter from Simon Snyder, the governor of Pennsylvania, which was read upon the occasion. We subjoin the letter without a comment.
"General MICHAEL BRIGHT and men, for their manly dignified and patriotic conduct, in defending the just rights of the state against judicial usurpation, have my full and entire approbation, and I am confident, that of the legislature and people of Pennsylvania, and of every independent citizen of the United States."
"The general's patriotism evinced in early life during our revolutionary struggle, has secured him the esteem of every whig of '76, and must command the admiration of all their descendants who dare, in these days of judicial dictation, to appreciate rational liberty, fixed by known laws. To perpetuate his republican virtues—to render his name immortal, it but remains to immolate him on the altar of judicial vengeance."
"I want words to express fully the high consideration I have for him and those who, in obedience to the law, participated with him in the honor of defending the local state sovereignty in the case of Olmstead—Let it suffice to say, that I should deem it an honor could I call the least worthy of them brother."
SIMON SNYDER.
Selins' Grove, May 15, 1809.
If Simon Snyder really entertains the sentiments expressed in his letter this day
published, what a pitiful, spiritless creature must he be for a governor who tamely gave up such "just rights of the state" to "judicial usurpation" without a single effort to maintain them longer than it could be done without any appearance of danger.
[U. S. Gaz.]
Mr. Madison as he was.
As the future prosperity of our country must depend upon the sentiments which shall be adopted, and the conduct which shall be pursued by the present administration in regard to the encouragement and protection of commerce, we have thought it expedient to remind our readers of the sentiments which Mr. Madison held upon this subject previous to any party divisions in this country. For this purpose we subjoin several extracts from speeches made by Mr. Madison, in the first congress under the present constitution, in the year 1789, upon the question of laying discriminating duties. Should he be found to hold the same opinions still, and to act in conformity with them, the nation will have cause to rejoice in the change of rulers which has taken place.
[U. S. Gaz.]
The extracts are made from the first volume of Lloyd's Congressional History, for the year 1789.
"I consider that an acquisition of maritime strength is essential to this country.—If ever we are so unfortunate as to be engaged in war, what but this can defend our towns and cities upon the seacoast? Those parts which are said to bear an undue proportion of the burthen of the additional duty on foreign shipping, are those that will be the most exposed to the operations of a depredatory war, and require the greatest exertions of the union in their defence. If, therefore, some little sacrifice is made by them to obtain this important object, they will be peculiarly rewarded for it in the hour of danger."
Page 121.
"We have maritime dangers to guard against, and we can be secured from them no other way than by having a navy and seamen of our own. These can be obtained only by giving a preference. I admit it is a tax, and a tax upon our produce; but it is a tax we must pay for the national security. I reconcile it to the interest of the United States that this sacrifice should be made; by it we shall be able to provide the means of defence, and being prepared to repel danger is the most likely to avoid it. This way tax, therefore, may prevent the horrors of a war, and secure to us that respect and attention which we merit."
Page 148.
"I do not consider this subject as it respects revenue. My great object is to provide a maritime defence against a maritime danger. I wish, in doing this, that the burthen was equally born; but I do not think a small disproportion is a sufficient reason for rejecting the measure."
Page 225.
"A maritime force is essentially necessary to the United States, and in time of war may be particularly employed in defence of the weaker part. South Carolina and Georgia having neither seamen nor shipping, must depend upon the other states for their defence; if therefore the duty will promote this strength, it will render the union respectable and safe, and ultimately favor that interest."
Page 243.
—From the Federal Gazette.
MR. HEWES,
I arrived yesterday, with schooner Nervva, from Charleston. Off the Capes of Virginia, was hailed by the British frigate Melampus, (another frigate in company) who sent a lieutenant and midshipman on board of the schooner. They treated me with politeness, and enquired after a French privateer supposed to be on the coast. After the return of the boarding officer, the commander of the Melampus came in person aboard of my schooner. He behaved with great politeness, and was very sorry that they had fired several shots a few days before at an American schooner (the Amiable) under an erroneous impression that she was a Frenchman under false colors. The captain of the Melampus assured me upon his honor, that he believed her to be a French privateer, as he had been informed of one on the coast, and this schooner evidently avoided him. I am, sir, well aware that no circumstance, even a known enemy, could justify a ship of any nation at peace with us for firing in a hostile manner within our own jurisdiction; but I do believe, from the gentlemanly conduct of the commander of the Melampus, that he would not knowingly maltreat or insult an American. She is no Englishman, but I would give

his due ; I was much pleased with the report of the British officers while at the Minerva, and perform a pleasure in making public, through your exceedingly circulated paper, their correctness and politeness towards me. Your obedient servant, P. SORENSON. Master of Schooner Minerva. Port of Baltimore, May 29, 1809.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. TUESDAY, May 30. [CONCLUDED.]
[Taken for the Alexandria Gazette.]
Mr. Randolph called up the order of the day on his approbatory resolution. Mr. J. G. Jackson withdrew his motion to postpone it indefinitely, and Mr. Nelson moved it. Mr. Johnson. An attempt has been made to change the language of the original resolution & the expressions of the mover to draw a distinction between the present and last administration, when in reality there is a strict identity between the two, more particularly the measure under consideration. The power of the last session, which was passed under the last administration, and under the influence which has prevailed in this house for 8 years, gave the present executive that action which he was bound to obey, that action which he has exercised ; and it is the influence of that act on the present measures, which shews such identity. In reply to the gentleman from Va. (Mr. Randolph) about the war-party, I do positively assert, that I know no member on this floor who advocated a selection of the power with whom we should go to war, except Mr. Williams, of S.C. (than whom an honester man, as the gentleman himself has said, does not exist) and I call upon the gentleman for the measure tending to that effect, to put his finger upon the speech or motion which had in view such a course. I come now to the argument of the gentleman from Virginia, as to the difference in favor of England of the propositions of the present and late President. What has Mr. Madison said ? that the trade between Great Britain and the United States shall be restored : no more : this is not annulling the interdiction of British armed vessels to our waters, nor did Mr. Erskine require it. As to the assertion that the late administration shewed a partiality to France and hostility to England, we have but to look for its refutation in both houses in this same English parliament, where it is audibly and repeatedly declared, that its measures were strictly neutral. I cannot see how gentlemen who voted against those measures which tended to produce the present happy conclusion, can arrogate to themselves any credit for it ; and the gentleman from Virginia who claimed a share of this credit, himself recommended our arming for defence, which I always thought must end in war. I was for continuing the non-intercourse system, while it could be enforced ; when that system ceased to be effectual, I was for issuing general letters of marque and reprisal, not only to take and capture by sea but to take and capture by land, for I never could consent to see my country taxed by any foreign nation. Much has been said of the last administration ; but gentlemen cannot agree as to the precise time of its dereliction from good old whig principles : some will date it in eighteen hundred and six ; others from the passage of the embargo law, others from the enactment of non-intercourse, and I dare say many now in the house will date it from the day it first got into power. Its course has been to preserve the faith of the nation, and cultivate friendly intercourse with all. Would you have them seek after that political phantom the balance of power, on the continent of Europe, and not look at home to strengthen our own resources and harmonize our own citizens ? Sir, it would be a visionary pursuit, for that balance is so suddenly changed, that one nation has a dead weight in the scale to-day, another to-morrow. The course of the last administration was a steady adherence to the track of neutrality, neither looking to the right nor to the left, whether France was powerful and England weak, or France weak and England powerful.
The house adjourned. WEDNESDAY, May 31. Mr. McKim presented the petition of 35 American citizens in Carthagena, in South America, praying the interference of the government of their country for their release. Referred to a select committee of five.
The petition states, that part of them were enlisted for the service of the United States to go to New Orleans to act as guard for conveying the mail, and the rest to prosecute a fair trade to St. Domingo ; but after sailing upon the voyage, and seeing Miranda, who had assumed the name of Martin, and other persons assuming the command and exercising authority over the expedition, strong suspicions were entertained of the voyage being illegal, which was strengthened on their arrival at Jaquemel, by certain acts of their officers, on which several attempted to escape, but were taken and put in confinement, and a reward offered of 100 dollars, by captain Lewis of the Leander, to the negro who would deliver any white man to him who did not belong to vessels in the harbor. And thus were unknowingly entrapped into a service they abhorred.
Mr. Newton moved, That the report of the secretary of the treasury on the official emoluments of the collectors of the ports of the United States, be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
The committee of revisal and unfinished business made a report in part, which was laid on the table, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Lyon called up the petition of Thomas Paine, presented last session and moved it be referred to the committee of claims.
A petition of sundry hatters of Massachusetts, was presented, praying additional duties on the importation of hats ; and referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Newton presented the petition of Wm. S. Moore, and Jacob Hoffman, sugar refiners of the town of Alexandria, praying a drawback on exportation of that article, equal to the duty on brown sugars imported. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Rhea presented a resolution, the object of which was to instruct the committee of public lands to enquire into the expediency of granting a quarter section to each free male white person now resident in a certain tract of land to be defined by Congress, or which may hereafter become resident ; which was not carried.
Mr. Lewis presented the following :
Resolved , That a committee be appointed to enquire into the expediency of removing from West Point to the city of Washington the corps of engineers, constituting the military academy of the U. States, and that they report by bill or otherwise ; on motion that the house now consider the resolution, it was lost—yeas 47, nays 51.
Mr. Bacon presented the memorial of certain electors of Massachusetts, complaining of the undue election of Wm. Baillis—Referred to the committee of elections.
Mr. Bacon submitted the following :
Resolved , That the secretary of the treasury be directed to prepare and report to this house at their next session, a plan for the application of such means as are within the power of Congress for fostering & establishing domestic manufactures ; the number and state of the manufactures now established ; and such other information as may be within his knowledge on that subject.
Which resolution was laid on the table, and on motion that it be printed,
Mr. Lyon objected that it should be in its present form. It was cold comfort to say live horse till the grass grows. The petitioners do not ask the secretary of the treasury, but this house for relief, which should be immediately granted ; for in the mean while, foreign manufactures will be poured in upon the country, which will prove the ruin of infant establishments. He looked upon this cold reference to the secretary of the treasury as an answer to the prayer of the petitioners, and therefore opposed it.
Mr. Bacon could not see how the present resolution interfered with the house granting immediate relief to petitioners on this subject. Its object was to embrace a more general and systematic relief and protection.
Ordered to be printed. The house then resumed the unfinished business of yesterday.
Some of the crew of a vessel wrecked on Abacco, who had arrived at Havana, report that 14 sail of American vessels were cast away on Abacoa, on or about the 28th of April, but we cannot learn their names.
Captain Finney, arrived at Charleston, in the sloop Philadelphia, 20 days from St. Jago de Cuba, states that two days before he sailed, the limited time for foreigners to quit the island had expired, in consequence of which, many Frenchmen who were unable to get away had been massacred by the populace. 62 passengers came in the Philadelphia. Fed. Gazette.
Mr. James Archer, an engraver of distinction in England, has perfected an invention, known only to himself, of the greatest importance to the commercial world, a mode of engraving bank note plates, which
cannot fail to form a check against forgery. The instrument by which they are produced is extremely intricate, and constructed on a plan entirely out of common routine of mechanics. The note may be comprehended at one glance, consisting merely of straight and waved lines, curiously combined, and forming a variegated tint, at once simple in appearance, and inimitable in execution, reconciling two principles natural in direct opposition to each other. The mathematical accuracy with which the lines are laid, agreeably to this plan, is beyond the power of man strictly to imitate by the common method of engraving, even allowing that the first rate artists were to employ their talents to that purpose.
BY THE LAST MAIL. NEW-YORK, May 28.
Latest from Europe.
Intelligence from London three day later than we had previously published, via Philadelphia, was received yesterday at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser by the Spanish schooner Good Voyage, in 40 days from Liverpool. We have selected the articles that follow from London papers to the 13th of April, and a Liverpool paper of the 15th.
Vigo has surrendered to the Anglo Spanish forces.
No confirmation of the report that hostilities had commenced between France and Austria is given in these papers.
LONDON, April 13 Extract from a letter dated Stockholm, March 24, 8 P. M.
The king has this afternoon been removed under a strong escort from Dortmund-holm to Gripsholm, a palace about 45 English miles from Stockholm. He has hitherto been kept closely confined, and has not been permitted to see the queen.
About 600 Cossacks, who had come over from Aland Greslehamm, being a part of the army who had taken the former island and were on their march to Stockholm, when they were met by a flag of truce in the name of Duke Charles, and an armistice was immediately signed to wait the emperor of Russia's answer.
By two Gottenburgh mails which arrived last night, we have received intelligence from that place to the first instant, & from Stockholm to the 25th ult. The report of the rising of the Delecarians, for the purpose of effecting the liberation of their dethroned and imprisoned monarch, appears altogether unworthy of credit. The unfortunate Gustavus has been transferred to a fortress fifteen leagues more remote from his capital, where he continues closely confined, and all intercourse between him and his queen is carefully prevented. The duke of Sudermania exercises the functions of royalty with uncontrolled power, and Adlersparre, who first gave the signal for insurrection, is arrived at Stockholm with a division of the western army. The inhabitants are stated to have conferred upon these troops every possible mark of approbation and regard.
It appears that the Russians had made considerable progress in their operations, when a flag of truce was sent by the duke of Sudermania, proposing an armistice. The proposal was acceded to, the armistice concluded, and the terms dispatched by the Russian general to the emperor Alexander. Whether Sweden is to enjoy tranquility, and we are to be excluded from the Swedish ports, will, however, depend upon the decision of Bonaparte, to whom the question of peace or war is ultimately referred.
Our port letters of this morning contain little of importance. We regret to learn that sir Arthur Wellesley had not so late as yesterday embarked for Lisbon. The Surveillante frigate, which is to take him out, is said to have received counter orders.
We understand that an unhappy difference has arisen between admiral lord Gambier, and rear-admiral Hervey. The latter is in consequence come home in the Tonnant, and will strike his flag.
At 11 o'clock this morning a Gazette Extraordinary was published, containing official details of the surrender of Vigo to the gallant peasantry of Galicia, and the complete reduction of the island of Martinique. Vigo capitulated on the 27 of March. The garrison were allowed to march out of the forts with the honors of war to the glacis, where they surrendered themselves prisoners of war, and were to be conducted to an English port. They consisted of 46 officers, 958 inferior officers and privates fit for duty, 300 sick ; total 1304 men. The captors found 447 horses, 62 carriages, covered waggons, and carts : and the military chest, containing 117,153 francs in French specie.

JUST RECEIVED,
FOR SALE ONLY BY James Kennedy, Jrn. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET. The following highly valuable MEDICINE, Price 3 Dollars per bottle.
DR. JEBB'S VENTURE'S RESTORATIVE, A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial, so justly celebrated throughout Great Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the cure of all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living, long continued residence in warm climates, intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasures, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma, and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have coplanted every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many attested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the prop or here, some few of which are herein published) have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacy must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or continue their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a whose rare and precious salutary virtues well known to the Arabians during the 9th centuries, when that people shone leuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor, most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common laced remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glects, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and 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 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. Apple certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.
