Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed is excelled by none in the United States and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT of GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO,
A LOT of GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT of GROUND, on the George-Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE of GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing something less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO,
My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence, (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses, and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO,
The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

FROM THE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL.
THE ALARM BELL.
TREASON! TREASON! TREASON!
The citizens of the State of Pennsylvania are requested to read the following, copied from the Democratic Press. We did not intend to notice that paper again, but the avowal is so treasonable, so monstrous, and so befitting one of Bonaparte's emissaries that a mark ought, like Cain, to be fixed on him. It is an old saying, "the greatest rogue cries out rogue first;" hence the cry of British party and British faction has been raised by a set of abandoned men in order to turn the public attention from themselves, until it was time to throw off the mask—they have thrown it off: and now, since Bonaparte has become master of Spanish South America, since he has become a neighbor to the United States, they boldly acknowledge they belong to a French party in America!! That there is a British party in America has never been acknowledged, and has ever been indignantly denied. It cannot be believed. No American will ever belong to any other party than his country. If he did, he would deserve the Pillory . But read what French Tories dare to promulgate, in the face of the laws, in the very capital of the United States. Read, and mark the miscreants.
From the Democratic Press, printed by John Binns.
"I believe there is not a man in America, who does not belong to a FRENCH PARTY , or an English one." I ACKNOWLEDGE I BELONG TO THE FORMER.
"I believe Bonaparte never did nor ever will voluntarily commit an act of violence against us."
"I believe the Stripling was sold by his brethren into Egypt , he being chosen to do a great work."
"I believe Moses was preserved in the bullrush basket floating on the Nile, being chosen to do a great work."
"I believe the stripling David was taken from the sheepfold, and preserved when he cut off the skirts of Saul's garment, being chosen to do a great work, for he had a Goliath to slay."
"I believe the stripling Napoleon of Corseca , was preserved at Dunkirk , at Arcole , at Lodi , Marengo , and a hundred other places, being also chosen to do a great work, for he has a Goliath yet to slay."
"I believe Simon Snyder ought to be governor."
"I believe James Madison possesses every qualification requisite, and is fully competent to discharge the duties of president of the U. States; and that he will pursue the line laid down by Mr. Jefferson. "
"I believe the writer of this creed is a democrat , if he is not mistaken in the meaning of the word."
It is signed, "J. B."
After this tissue of treason and blasphemy in comparing those holy men who were types of the Redeemer , to Napoleon , we ask of the people what they think of these things? And the coupling Snyder and Madison in the same breath with the acknowledgment of a French party in America, irresistibly forces itself upon our attention.
Well was it said of old—"If these things are done in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?"
It traitors avow their intentions at the present time, what are they not prepared for? Mark the miscreants.
FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN. No. II.
I HAVE said, that those who rule our councils, have been regularly and systematically urging the nation into the arms of France, by plunging us into a war with Britain. The mode, by which alone this pernicious object can be effected is too apparent to be mistaken. The power of peace and war being essentially in the people, their minds must be prepared for war before they can be engaged in one. It is not by openly avowing the design, that this can be accomplished. The people of this country are disinclined to war, and an open direct avowal of a wish to involve them in one, might defeat its own purpose. It is by rousing the angry passions; by exasperating those keen resentments, which have been excited against a foreign nation, that the Americans are to be prepared to wage war upon that nation. It is by exaggerating the injuries inflicted by Britain; by concealing, softening, and even denying those heaped upon us by France; by misrepresenting the conduct of those powers, and mistaking their views, that America is to be induced to facilitate the imposition of manacles on herself, by uniting with the latter to hasten the downfall of the former.
Who has not perceived the too successful industry with which this baneful system has been pursued?
I will not invite my fellow citizens to look back to 1793, and to follow the man on whom people have bestowed their confidence, from that period to the present. I will not invite them to recollect the ardent and persevering zeal, with which those men continued to defend the right of France to exercise, in this country, the choicest attributes of sovereignty; nor will I call their attention to the malignant rage with which the best patriots of our country were pursued for defending that sovereignty. But it will be useful to advert to one fact which appears to have escaped the public attention, and which is of some importance in marking the temper of those who govern public opinion. It is this: in the measures adopted by the belligerent powers which are deemed injurious to this country, France has generally taken the lead. For the purpose of exasperation the past offences of Great Britain are frequently recapitulated. Among them is the order of the 9th of June, 1793. Neither the subsequent treaty, nor the ample compensation we have received for captures made under that order, can erase it from our catalogue of injuries. Our resentments are still to be excited by it. Yet we are never told, that in the preceding month, a decree still less defensible in principle, still more injurious to our rights, was made by the government of France. We are never told, that for the captures under this and other decrees of the same power, which subjected to confiscation every vessel sailing under the American flag, no compensation has ever been made. Degrading to our government and to our nation, as have and continue to be the claims and practices of France, we are never reminded of this, or of any other fact which might disclose to us our real situation, whilst every measure adopted by a nation struggling for her own liberty, in which ours is involved, is presented to us in the most odious colors, and dilated upon with an assiduity which never relaxes.
I shall not rely on the conduct of those now in power, while they constituted an opposition; but shall pass to those transactions which manifest the temper with which they have administered our national affairs.
In the United States, as in all popular governments, public opinion is in a great measure regulated by the Press. It is, of consequence, the vehicle by which the government conveys to the people those sentiments which it wishes to inculcate. In those presses, therefore, which enjoy the sunshine of ministerial favor and patronage, which are professedly devoted to the support of the administration, and to the furtherance of its designs, we may look with confidence for the certain expression of the ministerial will. All have perceived with what unwearied diligence these presses have labored to diffuse through the mass of the people, a most rancorous and envenomed hate of England, while every fact, which might open their eyes to the real dangers to be apprehended from France, has been carefully kept out of view. No man, who will look into these papers, and they have been read with partiality by a great majority of the community, can refuse his assent to the truth, that the ruling sentiment which prevades them is hostility to England, and a consequent accordance with the views of France. I will not cite paragraphs to illustrate the truth of this assertion. I make it fearless of contradiction. The columns of the papers alluded to, are replete with evidences of the fact and those who are not satisfied of its verity, would require some proof auxiliary to his own splendor, that the sun shines at mid-day. No man can inspect the Aurora , the National Intelligencer , the Enquirer , or any other paper enjoying the favor of the administration, without perceiving one unvarying effort to lead the American people into a war with England.
I do not mention this fact as one which has not been observed by others, for there are few who have not felt its influence, but for the purpose of requesting the attention of my fellow citizens to its origin and intended effect.
Can it be believed, that papers, which are deemed semi-official, which are known to devote themselves to the service of the administration, and to partake of its bounty, would continually urge a system which that administration disapproved? It cannot be believed. No man can hesitate to admit, that the press is a powerful engine, wielded by the government, skillfully, and with immense effect, for the promotion of its favorite object.
If the means constantly employed have a certain and obvious tendency to produce a particular end, that end must be desired by those who employ the means. Who then can resist the conclusion that a war with Britain is most anxiously desired by that administration, under whose auspices the means calculated to produce it are so unremittingly employed?
Let it not be said, that it is just to as-
cribe to the administration, opinions which may be propagated by the editors of newspapers, or that the fact is in itself too unimportant to form the basis of so serious a charge as a desire to involve the nation in a war, which, without the interposition of Providence, must terminate in the subjugation of this once free and happy country. The favour of government would be infinitely withdrawn from papers which obstinately persisted in opposing its views, and no man is so ignorant of the influence of the press in effecting great political objects. By no means in existence is its capacity more justly appreciated than by those whom it has been used to almost unlimited power, and who use it as a mean to excite our hostility against England.
It is then a most serious and a most libel proof of the spirit by which the present administration is actuated. It is one which demands the solemn consideration of the American people.
SENEX.
NEW-YORK, August 18.
The brig Stephen , captain Barker , arrived at this port last evening in fifty days from Falmouth, having left there on the 24th of June. Captain B. has politely furnished the editor of the MERCANTILE ADVOCATE , with a file of London papers to the 12th of June, but only one day later than our previous advices; from which we extract the following articles:
LONDON, June 10.
Yesterday a large bag of letters was received at the post-office from our fleet off Cadiz , Gibraltar , and from the former, we understand, down to the 1st instant. We have seen some of these letters, and although the communication by them is of a less decisive character than we had expected, it encourages a hope that the next advices will be of a more important nature. We know that ministers are sanguine in their expectations of good accounts from Spain , and are confident that the patriotism and power of the people are equal to the vast struggle in which they are engaged. Such knowledge of their sentiments represses those fears to which we might otherwise give way, and to their better information we confide our hopes.
The report of the failure of Ad. Purvis's negotiation for the occupation of the works at St. Leon , and the Puntals , was renewed yesterday at the Stock Exchange ; it was further stated, that a large body of the Spanish patriots had been cut to pieces at Salamanca , and that Bonaparte had arrived with considerable reinforcements at Pampeluna , and was directing his route by forced marches into Asturias . These statements, although wholly unsupported by any certain communication, had the effect to lower the Funds nearly one per cent, below the concluding prices of the preceding day; before the close of the market, however, they recovered in some degree, and left off about a quarter per cent worse than they opened.
The insurrection in the Northern Provinces was not known at Cadiz at the date of the accounts from thence, and to that circumstance we may fairly ascribe the conflict which the Spanish commandant appears to have sustained between his inclination and his fears. No accounts from Madrid subsequent to the 7th, had reached Cadiz on the 26th, the recent proceedings at Bayonne were unknown there, as well as the consequent risings in Asturias , Gallacia , &c. and it is not too much to suppose, that the people of Cadiz were inclined to resist the French in the absence of such information, that when they become informed of those events, they will join in the glorious enterprise of shaking off the domination of France.
The arrangements for succouring the Spaniards are continued with activity. The artillery embarked at Plymouth , was to sail yesterday for Cork , from whence the troops under the orders of Sir A. Wellesley will be ready to sail about the close of the ensuing week. The artillery to be embarked at Portsmouth , and three regiments now under orders for embarkation at Dover &c. will, it is stated, follow early in the ensuing week.
Government are purchasing large quantities of oats, supposed to be intended either for the supply of our cavalry in Sweden , or for the use of the patriots in Spain .
Parliament, it is reported, will adjourn about the 16th of July; and, it is added, will re-assemble in October.
The manufacturers at Leeds , Bradford , and Huddersfield , are stated to have received, during the last week, numerous and extensive orders; part for the army and navy, and a large portion for the American markets, under an expectation of our intercourse with that country being shortly renewed.

PHILADELPHIA, August 20.
Latest from England.
Yesterday arrived at Lazaretto from Liverpool, ship Otis, capt. Leeds, with a full cargo of dry goods. Left two ships loading for this port to sail in about ten days. The Otis left Liverpool on the 10th of July, and brings a paper of that place of the 9th, and London papers to the 6th, inclusive. We learn that rumors were abroad in England that a negotiation for peace was on foot between Russia and England in which Denmark was to be included. So much confidence was reposed in the rumor as to occasion a depression of the price of Russian produce in some instances 50 per cent. It was also reported, that France had declared war against Austria. Joseph Bonaparte had arrived at Bayonne, and had been declared king of Spain, &c. and had been acknowledged and proclaimed by the Junta assembled at Bayonne and by another at Madrid. Murat has also arrived at Bayonne. Joseph had issued a proclamation commanding the submission of all the authorities. In this proclamation he styles himself king of Spain, Minorca, Majorca, Gibraltar, THE CONTINENT OF AMERICA, the islands &c. &c. The British parliament had been prorogued. A message from the king had been delivered by commission, in which it is mentioned that the king of Sweden continued to prosecute the war with vigor, and that the government were resolved to afford the Spaniards every aid in their power, to secure their independence, and disavow any other motive than that of preserving unimpaired the power and independence of the Spanish monarchy. The king had issued a proclamation, proclaiming peace with such parts of Spain as were not under the power of France, and ordering a discharge of Spanish prisoners, &c. &c. A similar proclamation had been issued in Spain declaring peace with Great Britain and Sweden. There were accounts in England of serious insurrections which had broken out in Paris and other parts in France; but the accounts seem to want confirmation. They were copied from a Guernsey paper of the 19th June. An expedition had sailed from Cork and another from the Downs with troops and supplies of money and warlike stores for Spain. Paris accounts state, that the Junta of Seville had fixed upon the arch duke Charles, of Austria, as their king.
LONDON, July 4,
There is a report in this city of an insurrection in Paris.
Parliament was this afternoon prorogued with the following most gracious speech from the Throne, by commission:
"My Lords & Gentlemen, "We have it in command from his Majesty to express to you the great satisfaction which he derives from being enabled by putting an end to the present session of Parliament, to terminate the laborious attendance which the public business has required of you.
"The measures which you have adopted for the improvement of the military force of the country, promises to lay the foundation of a system of internal defence eminently useful and peculiarly adapted to the exigencies of these times.
"The sanction which you have given to those measures of defensive retaliation, to which the violent attacks of the enemy upon the commerce and resources of this kingdom, compelled his majesty to resort, has been highly gratifying to his majesty.
"His majesty doubts not that, in the result, the enemy will be convinced of the impolicy of persevering in the system which retorts upon himself, in so much greater proportion, those evils which he endeavors to inflict upon this country.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"We are commanded by his majesty to return his most hearty acknowledgements for the cheerfulness and liberality with which the necessary supplies for the current year have been provided.
"His majesty directs up to assure you that he participates in the satisfaction with which you must have contemplated the flourishing situation of the revenue, and credit of the country, notwithstanding the continued pressure of the war: and he congratulates you upon having been enabled to provide for the exigencies of the public service, with so small an addition to the public burdens.
"His majesty commands us to thank you for having enabled him to make good his engagements with his allies; and to express to you the particular gratification which he has derived from the manner in which you have provided for the establishment of his sister, her royal highness the duchess of Brunswick.
"My Lords & Gentlemen,
"His majesty has great satisfaction in informing you, that notwithstanding the formidable confederacy, united against his ally the king of Sweden, that sovereign perseveres with unabated vigor and constancy, to maintain the honor and independence of his crown, and that no effort has been wanting on the part of his majesty to support him in the arduous contest in which he is engaged.
"The recent transactions in Spain and Italy have exhibited new and striking proofs of the unbounded and unprincipled ambition which actuates the common enemy of every established and independent nation in the world.
"His majesty views with the liveliest interest the loyal and determined spirit manifested by the Spanish nation in resisting the violence and perfidy with which their dearest rights have been assailed.
"The Spanish nation thus nobly struggling against the tyranny and usurpation of France, can no longer be considered as the enemy of Great Britain, but is recognized by his majesty as a friend; and ally.
"We are commanded to inform you, that his majesty has received communications from several of the provinces of Spain soliciting the aid of his majesty. The answer of his majesty to these communications has been received in Spain with every demonstration of those sentiments of confidence and affection which are congenial to the feelings and true interest of both nations: and his majesty commands us to assure you, that he will continue to make every exertion in his power for the support of the Spanish cause: guided in the choice and in the direction of his exertions by the wishes of those in whose behalf they are employed.
"In contributing to the success of this great and glorious cause, his majesty has no other object than that of preserving unimpaired the power and independence of the Spanish monarchy. But he trusts that the same efforts which are directed to that great object may, under the blessing of Divine Providence, lead to their effects and by their example, to the restoration of the liberties and peace of Europe."
July 5.
We have extracted from the Moniteur an account of the proceedings of the Junta, at Bayonne, from its meeting on the 15th to its third sitting on the 21st ult. It now appears that Bonaparte assumed to himself the right and power to nominate his brother Joseph king of Spain, and that he has not even condescended to ask the Junta to sanction his choice. The meeting is declared to have been summoned for the purpose of discussing the new constitutional code intended for Spain, or in other words, register whatever new fangled code his whim and caprice may dictate. At the first meeting on the 15th, the Imperial decree, proclaiming Joseph king of Spain and the Indies, was read, and the president read a speech explanatory of the purpose for which they were convened. After which they resolved to testify their allegiance and homage to the new king, whom Napoleon had given to reign over them. On the 17th they held their sitting, on the 18th they were admitted to an audience of king Joseph, who they addressed in a strain of common-place fulsome adulation, to which they received a suitable answer.
In the third sitting, on the 20th, the plan of the new constitution was submitted to their consideration and they began to discuss it on the 21st. So far, it would appear, the new machine works with perfect facility, but the appearance is deceitful. Enough is disclosed in the speech of the president, first meeting on the 15th, to show that its operations will be impeded and that Spain is convulsed from end to end. In that speech the president notices "the ferment and disorder that disquiet various towns of the kingdom," that they are in arms, and mean to elect the arch duke Charles of Austria, king of Spain. If the insurrection in Spain were not formidable, it would not have been noticed in this way. Indeed, every intelligence from that country, through whatever channel it may be conveyed, plainly indicates the embarrassment and fears of Bonaparte.—Murat, we find, is arrived at Bayonne, from Madrid, to assist him with his advice in his present difficult situation.

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

To the Curious.
A LIVE CASSOWARY, to be seen at HOODKIN's tavern, sign of the Indian Queen.
THIS animal is a native of the island Borneo; and was brought to the United States in the ship America, Capt. Lelar, from Batavia. It is young and in full plumage, very docile, and worth the attention of every person. The following extract from Dobson's Encyclopedia, shows the estimation in which it is held by the lovers of nature, being conformably to the description given.—(See volume 18, page 40.)
"The Cassowary is nearly equal in size to the Ostrich, but its legs are much thicker and stronger in proportion. It is 5 feet and an half long, from the bill to the end of the claws: the legs are 2 feet and an half high from the belly. The head and neck together are a foot and a half; and the largest toe is 5 inches long. The wing is so small, that it does not appear, being hid under the feathers of the back. The part which most distinguishes this animal is the head, which tho' small, inspires some degree of terror. It is bare of feathers, and armed with an helmet of horny substance, black before, and yellow behind.—The neck is of a violet color, and red in several places. The Cassowary has the head of a warrior, the eye of a lion, the defence of a porcupine, and the swiftness of a courser. It can devour glass, without the least injury, &c.
To be seen at the same place,
Several other living Curiosities, &c.
ALSO—A PIECE OF MECHANISM. Such as was never seen before in this country AN ORGAN of an entirely new construction.—The Organ play several favorite tunes—a number of figures, as natural as life, dance to the music, while several artillerymen discharge their pieces. &c. a representation which has ever been highly gratifying to spectators.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
Of the great efficacy of the Patent and 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 do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. 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.

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, a cough 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. Moltijer and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing 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 sense remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, 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 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 the 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. 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 be 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 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.
