SATURDAY'S LITERARY BOWER.
NO. XXI.
I approach you to-day, Mr. Editor, with sensations essentially different from those which have usually attended my literary visits. I approach you for the purpose of presenting my thanks for your courtesy, & for that of taking my leave of you until "summer heats" again "oppress the weary passenger."
"The truest notions in the easiest way."
Other cares now press upon me, and I have arrived at that period in life which makes it more than ever necessary to divide my attentions among those whom it has pleased God to place under my special government and protection. It remains, therefore, for me only at this time to say, that I have sought with some little assiduity to vary the entertainment which you have kindly allowed me to prepare for a section of your readers, as much as possible; that to accomplish this with the more certainty, which you will allow had become a desideratum, I have occasionally put in requisition the talents and the taste of the different members of my family, and of a portion of my friends; and to add a word or two upon what has been done, and upon what has not been done.
In looking over the different numbers, I have discovered nothing which I have the least occasion to regret the circulation of; and if I have added nothing to the public stock of ethics, I have at least the consolation of knowing that I have applied the efforts of others in this direction to the best of my ability. Nor have our eyes been shut to the fascinations of polite literature. Song, as well as sentiment, have occasionally been brought in to the aid of our plan; and, when occupied in culing from the ample stores of those whose comedies we could wish to see more in use, we have taken the liberty to be a little unfashionable, and have not hesitated in preferring that which tended to benefit the hearts, rather than to dazzle the fancies and corrupt the minds of those to whom our cares have been extended.
To that collateral, tho' younger, branch of my family, which is descended from the Scribleruses of Queen Ann's day, I am considerably indebted. It will be perceived that he has not confined himself to the unthankful office of collecting and exhibiting specimens of the bathos, or of teaching the art of sinking in poetry. No Mr. Editor, he has too just a conception of the genius of the age to spend his time so poorly. He knew that his conduct should conform to circumstances, and that what might have been looked upon as a public virtue in the progenitor, may become treason in the progeny, and be punished with exile and death. He knew that, instead of scouring the bathos, the times have rendered it his duty to pickle and preserve it to the best of his ability; and that the art of sinking in poetry is now pretty well understood. Thus, taking all things into consideration, he concluded that no attempt in this way, on his part, would be of any use; and he therefore struck out into a new path in the able manner we have lately witnessed.
He lives to build not boast a generous race, and is most certainly
No tenth transmitter of a foolish face.
How often, Mr. Editor, are we compelled to sigh out the pious ejaculation that 'all things passeth away!' In consequence of the changes in literature which I have hinted at, my cousin Scrib, is rather awkwardly situated in his appellative term of personal distinction, and has lately informed me that he has a strong disposition to apply for an act of the legislature to enable him to assume a name more congenial to his present feelings. I did not attempt to dissuade him from this scheme, but reminded him that if he should fail in his application, he would only remain in a similar situation with Mr. Morton and certain other dramatic writers who have lately made a great noise in the world. In endeavoring to give a characteristic name to their heroes, they have necessarily given an absurd and contrary one to the fathers of said heroes. Thus we hear of an antic buck being called "Young Rapid," and of his father, who is represented as a grave old man, being termed "Old Rapid." We also hear of a dashing young Quaker being termed "Young Sadboy," and of the father of this same hopeful, who is in all things the re-
verse of his son, being known as "Old Sadboy." I have already said more on this subject than was intended, and must therefore omit, for the present, a fund of entertaining anecdote, to make room for an enumeration of some of those things which we have not done.
In the first place we have not written any political speculations which tended to dishearten the most intelligent and best part of the community, by arraying the chances of national existence with such a fearful pencil that the stoutest heart approached the canvass with a faltering step. We have never calumniated the country of our nativity, nor decried the genius of its people. We have not been of those who have contributed to the banishment of the most useful branch of the belles lettres, just criticism, by any paltry efforts of ours to say any thing about the drama. We have never amused the town with all the trifling minutiae and scandal of the green-room. We have never to the best of our recollection, prostituted our panegyric by a lying eulogy upon departed vice. In short, we have never been of those who
"Still run on players in a raging vein," "Even to the dregs & squeezing of the brain."
It is a fact not less lamentable than ludicrous, that there have lately been so many puny attempts at criticism upon that important institution, a well regulated stage, that the performers have been totally regardless of any thing, however judicious, that may now be suggested for their improvement.
Empiricism, is perhaps worse in this than any thing else. How few alas I are in the habit of remembering the pertinent lines of Pope:
"Learn then what moral critics ought to show, For 'tis but half a judges task to know; 'Tis not enough, taste judgement, learning join; In all you speak let truth and candor shine; That not alone what to your sense is due, All may allow but seek your friendship too."
As I had no time to enlarge where I most wished to be copious, I shall not take the time to declaim where the subject is hateful. I shall therefore close these remarks by observing, that at all times I have endeavored to cul worthily; that for the approaching season, my Bower has become leafless, uncomfortable and deserted; and that
I am, Yours, Very sincerely, CALEB CULWORTHY.
From a Philadelphia newspaper.
In the course of business, I have often found it noted in log books of vessels arriving in port, that they had seen a ship or brig (as the case might be) but could not speak her, she being a mile or two to windward, or not directly in their course. This has suggested an idea that a cheap signal might be adopted, whereby the vessels of each state, or port in the union, might be easily known to each other, even without speaking, or any other communication than hoisting a flag. I have therefore taken the liberty to propose a plan that has suggested itself to me as being of so very little expense or trouble, that I hope one day to see it become nearly, if not quite, universal.
The plan I would propose is as follows: That each state, shall adopt a particular field or ground for their signal flag or burgee—according to the following arrangement which I beg leave to suggest:
 Portsmouth, N. Hampshire, deep red jack  Province of Main light do.  Boston, Massachusetts, deep blue  Newport, Rhode Island, light do.  New Haven, Connecticut, Green  New York, Orange  New Jersey, Black  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, White  Wilmington, Delaware, Black burgee  Baltimore, Maryland, Orange do.  Norfolk, Virginia, Blue do.  North Carolina, Light green do.  Charleston, S. C. Deep green do.  Savannah, Georgia, Red do.  New Orleans, Louisiana, White do. 
And where there are more than one port in a state, let the flag or burgee be bordered by one, two, or three stripes, of a different color from the field. If the above should be adopted, then let each flag or burgee be marked in numerical order, with large figures made of stuff of a color different from the field, as red or blue with a white figure—white with blue or black &c. and each species of vessel, viz ships, brigs, &c. begin from No. 1 and go on in numerical order:
Should such a regulation be adopted and every vessel, when in sight of each other, run up their flag, they might be known to each other, though at the distance of two or three miles, by the help of their glasses, or at least on arrival, they could report, that on the 2d of November, lat. 32, saw a ship, White Flag, No. 56, standing to the eastward. This, to the owner or persons concerned, would afford agreeable information, especially if there had been a gale of wind a few days before, and those concerned were uneasy for the safety of the ship, lest she might have met with an accident in the same.
To make the same more easy, I would propose (and no doubt there would be primers enough to undertake it) that a list of the ships, brigs, &c. so numbered, should be printed from time to time. This mode would be of singular use where look-outs or signal-posts are kept, as a numerical flag could be found and hoisted in half the time they must take to overhaul their different colour signals.
It would be of service to pilots, for instance, say at Delaware, three ships are standing for the land, two bound for New York, the other for Philadelphia, on hoisting their flags the pilot would know for which to steer, and would report the other two as New Yorkers No. so and so, without the trouble of boarding them or going out of his way, which he might otherwise have been induced to do. Many other advantages will no doubt occur to people conversant in these matters.
Mr. Randolph, in common with a certain party, affects to despise Federalism. Federalists, detest the timid & crooked policy of Mr. Jefferson; herein they agree with Mr. Randolph, and they differ from the local party above alluded to.
It is, in my opinion, more noble, more wise, more patriotic, to prefer the man who openly execrates, and it is to be hoped can correct the sinister policy of the national government, to a set of men (democrats also) who still continue to justify every act of Mr. Jefferson's, nay, even all the disgraceful proceedings of the last session. Without avowing myself inimical to either, I hesitate not to declare, that I feel a much more lively interest in the political conduct of a man, who, from his talents and situation is enabled to take a wide and comprehensive view of the great and paramount concerns of the union, than in that of men whose scope of legislative action is confined to the mere municipal affairs of a single state. While I admire Mr. Randolph for his magnanimous conduct during the last session, in nobly bursting the fetters of party, and pointing to administration their true policy in regard to foreign nations, I trust I shall never become a convert to his democratic system for our internal policy which has led to the present alarming crisis in our relations with the principal powers of Europe.
It is on the talents and firmness of that gentleman, that the American people now rest their hopes of seeing their degraded country, rescued from the danger and disgrace, into which it has been plunged by the poisonous influence of Napoleon's arts or menaces, operating on the prejudices or fears of our national councils.
In the present very unequal state of parties in the house, Mr. R's exertion as a federalist would be completely inefficient to the abrogation of that obnoxious and impolitic war measure the non importation law; therefore let him not be condemned for professing to adhere to democracy, which whether from principle or policy, can alone be potent to great good to his country, in the high and arduous career which the disjointed state of public affairs now opens to his view.

If Frenchmen believe French papers they must be dismayed at the idea of continuing a war with Englishmen, who appear, by their own statements, to be immortal. By their Paris accounts from Italy, the English were, several times, totally killed or taken prisoners. We should suppose it must astonish even Parisians to learn, that after their enemies, in that quarter, had all suffered death five or six times, the same men were killed or taken again.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
PARIS, September 27.
Letter from his majesty the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, to his majesty the King of Bavaria.
Sir, My Brother—it is more than a month since Prussia has armed, and it is known to all the world that she arms against France and against the confederation of the Rhine. We have sought for the motives of these armaments without being able to discover them. The letters written to us by his Prussian majesty are amicable, his minister for foreign affairs has notified to our envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, that he recognizes the confederation of the Rhine, and that he has no objection to the arrangements made in the South of Germany.
Are the armaments of Prussia, the result of a coalition with Russia, or merely of the intrigues of the different parties which exist at Berlin, and the irresolution of the cabinet? Have they for their object to force Hesse, Saxony, and the Hanseatic Towns, to contract the obligations which the two latter powers do not appear to wish to form? Does Prussia wish to compel us to depart from the declaration which we have made, that the Hanseatic towns shall not enter into any particular confederation? a declaration founded upon the commercial interests of France and of the South of Germany, and upon what has been made known to us by England, that any change in the present situation of the Hanseatic towns will be a great obstacle to a general peace. We have also declared that the princes of the German empire, who were not comprised in the confederation of the Rhine, ought to be at liberty to consult only their own interest and convenience, that they ought to be regarded as perfectly free, that we would do nothing to draw them into the confederation of the Rhine, but that we would not suffer them to be forced to do any act which would be contrary to their inclination, their policy, or the interests of their people. Ought this just declaration to have so wounded the cabinet of Berlin, that we should be obliged to retract it? Amongst all these motives, which is the true one we cannot divine, and the future only can reveal the secret of a conduct as strange as it was unexpected. A month has elapsed without our taking notice of it. Our intention has only served to embolden all those firebrands who wish to precipitate the court of Berlin into a most inconsiderate contest.
At length the armaments of Prussia have led to the case provided for by one of the articles of the treaty of the 12th of July, and we think it necessary that all the sovereigns who compose the confederation of the Rhine, should arm to defend its interests, to guarantee and maintain the inviolability of its territories. Instead of 200,000 men, which France is bound to furnish, she will furnish 300,000; and we have just given orders that the troops necessary to complete that number shall be transported with speed to the Lower Rhine. The troops of your majesty being still on a war footing, we invite your majesty to issue orders that they may be put in a state to march without delay, with all their field equipage, in order that they may contribute to the defence of the common cause, the success of which we dare believe will correspond with its justice, if at length, contrary to our wishes, and even contrary to our hopes, Prussia should compel us to repel force by force.
We pray God, my brother, that he may have you in his holy and worthy keeping. NAPOLEON.
Given at Saint Cloud the 21st of September, 1806.
Conformable to the original, The minister for foreign affairs, CH. MAUR. TALLEYRAND, Prince of Benevento.
A similar letter has been written to the king of Württemberg, and letters of a similar description have been addressed to his imperial highness the grand duke of Berg, his royal highness the grand duke of Baden, his royal highness the grand duke of Hesse-Darmstadt, his eminent highness the prince primate, and to the college of princes of the confederation of the Rhine.
The sovereign prince of Württemberg brother to the emperor of Austria, has certainly acceded to the confederation formed by the princes in the south of Germany. Thus we may regard the state of Württemberg as forming part of the confederation of the Rhine.

His only apology is, "that if he errs, there is another and superior court which will correct his judgment."

Letters from Lancaster, dated Tuesday evening last says, that the assembly and Senate of this state, met that day agreeable to law, and there being a quorum in both houses, they proceeded to business, and the Senate had chosen Mr. Lane, speaker, by a majority of one vote, and that the lower house had chosen Simon Snyder, speaker, by the same majority, having 42 to 41 against him.
As both houses of representatives were formed at so early a date, it is not improbable the governor will make his speech to them this day, at 12 o'clock.
BALTIMORE, December 4.
Arrived, last night, schooner Mary-Ann, Martin, 30 days from Kingston, Jamaica. Left, schooner Montserrat, Davis, of Baltimore. Passenger, Joseph Gold, late of the schooner Exchange, of this port, captured by the privateer schooner Superb, and sent to Baracoa. Captain G. was detained on board the privateer—three days after, they fell in with the British government schooner Pitt, and after a running fight of 30 hours, the Superb struck. During the engagement, they made several attempts to board. A great number were killed on board the Superb, but few in the Pitt. The noted privateer commanded by Love, was chased by a British brig, it blowing so hard that she could not get her guns to bear on her, determined to run her down, which she effected; it was said, that Love seeing no possibility of escaping, shot himself.

From Washington, Dec. 5.
The bill to suspend the Non-Importation act has been debated this day in committee of the whole, and postponed till to-morrow. The bill will pass; the difficulty will be to what time to limit the suspension. The principles of the bill have not been discussed. Mr. Randolph said he should discuss them on the final passage of the bill. Hence I conclude he intends to-morrow to go over some of his old ground. Messrs. Bidwell and Varnum to-day said that Great Britain has become very friendly to us, as they could prove by the president's message of Wednesday, and Bidwell wishes to attribute this friendliness to the Non-Importation act. Britain is just as friendly to us now as she was a year ago, & probably no more so. She has told our ministers that she would not treat till that act was withdrawn, or that she would be more accommodating if we would not frighten her so with such terrible acts; and our good president thinks it best to oblige them.
We understand that the hon. Brockholst Livingston is appointed an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the place of the hon. William Patterson, deceased. (N. Y. pap.)

A commercial friend politely favored the editor with the following extract of a letter, from Jamaica, dated October 28
"I am sorry to find you have property in the Eclipse, for you will be informed by the captain of her fate. Yesterday the cargo of the brig Mary of Philadelphia belonging to Wm. Bell was condemned, and from the principle adopted by the court of vice admiralty here, I fear very few will escape found in the Haytian trade, or that of the Spanish colonies; one general agent here for all our insurance companies in Baltimore and other places, might have a very salutary effect and embolden him to come forward in most cases, being secured of being indemnified for the advance in the first instance necessarily incurred in claiming."
From the Same.
We were yesterday politely favored with a file of Kingston papers to November 4 inclusive, from which we have made the annexed extracts. The dispatches from Mr. Windham, regulating the intercourse between the United States and the West Indies, had been received and communicated to the assembly of Jamaica by a message from the governor's secretary. The advantage accruing to that island from this great colonial object, are stated in the message to be such as need not to be expatiated upon.
Kingston, Oct. 31.
Arrived, schooners Eliza, Record, Norfolk 16 days; Mary Ann Mastin, Baltimore, 15 days.
His majesty's ship Drake of 16 guns, captain Nicolas, arrived at Port Royal yesterday, with the Danish sloop John and Thomas, from this port bound to St. Thomas, taken by a French privateer off Morant Keys, and retaken by her off the East-End.
Seventeen days since, off the Capes, the Eliza was boarded by two British 74's belonging to sir R. Strachan's squadron, and on Friday, off the East-end, she fell in with a French privateer, who plundered her of some cabin stores.
With such confidence is the abolition of a certain traffic, talked of in England, that private letters mention that lord Howick, when applied to for a sufficient force for the protection of vessels trading to the coast, replied it certainly would be granted, for the time the trade lasted, but that it was positive an entire stop would be put to it on the first meeting of parliament.
November 3.
Yesterday arrived at Port Royal an American schooner, name unknown, from New Orleans, bound to St. Jago; detained by his majesty's brig Superieure, capt. Rush worth.
The same day put into Port Royal for a supply of provisions the ship Lewis William, captain O'Brien, from Hamburg bound to New Orleans, with emigrants.
November 4.
His majesty's ship Elephant, of 74 guns, captain Dundas, and Veteran, of 64, captain Evans, left Port Royal yesterday morning, which vessels, it is said, are to proceed to Curacoa, for the purpose of making an attack upon that island, of which
we have every reason to suppose, from the present dissatisfaction of the inhabitants, they will make an easy conquest.
The origin of females exposing their bosoms. When the Sicambri, a clan in France, began to retire and fly from the field of battle, their women met them, uncovered their bosoms, and said "strike there, ye cowards! We wish that ye would kill us, rather than expose us to the disgrace attendant on slavery." This behaviour, and their reproaches, roused the courage of the Sicambri, and raised their pride; they rallied, returned to the charge, repulsed and defeated the enemy. In commemoration of the share their women had in the honor of that day, they were permitted to let their bosoms remain bare; and thus the fashion which still prevails owed its origin to the undaunted behavior of the females on that occasion.
So far respecting a stimulus to courage from the sudden, and almost never failing presence of mind, inherent to the fair sex of all ages, the good effects of it here were most sensibly felt; and had our females of the present day, waited the dread of a defeat from an implacable enemy, they would then have done well, in imitating this conduct of the Sicambrian women. But imitating them prematurely, and without a cause, in the exposure of what modesty should conceal, has left us almost destitute of any hope to be derived from their assistance in the hour of extremity.

EPITAPH ON A WATCH-MAKER.
Here lies, in an horizontal position, The out side case of PETER PENDULUM, watch-maker, Whose abilities in that line were as honor To his profession; Integrity was the main spring, And prudence the regulator, Of the actions of his life. Humane, generous, and liberal, His hand never stopped, Till he had relieved distress, So nicely regulated were all his motions, That he never went wrong, Except when set a going By people Who did not know His Key. Even then he was easily Set right again. He had the art of disposing his time so well, That his hours glided away In one continued round Of pleasure and delight. Till an unlucky minute put A period to his existence. He departed this life, Wound up, In hopes of being taken in hand By his MAKER, And of being thoroughly clean'd, Repaired, And set a going, In the world to come.
Proceedings of Congress.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY December 3.
The following message was received from the president of the United States by Mr. Coles his secretary:
To the Senate and house of representatives of the United States of America.
I have the satisfaction to inform you that the negotiation depending between the United States and the government of Great Britain is proceeding in a spirit of friendship and accommodation which promises a result of mutual advantage. Delays indeed have taken place occasioned by the long illness and subsequent death of the British minister charged with that duty. But the commissioners appointed by that government to resume the negotiation have shown every disposition to hasten its progress. It is however a work of time; as many arrangements are necessary to place our harmony on stable grounds. In the mean time we find by the communications of our plenipotentiaries, that a temporary suspension of the act of the last session, prohibiting certain importations, would as a mark of candid dispositions on our part, and of confidence in the temper and views with which they have been met, have a happy effect on its course. A step so friendly will afford further evidence that all our proceedings have flowed from views of justice and conciliation; and that we give them willingly that form which
may best meet corresponding dispositions.
Add to this that the same motives which produced the postponement of the act till the 15th of November last, are in favor of its further suspension, and as we have reason to hope that it may soon yield to arrangements of mutual consent and convenience, justice seems to require that the same measure may be dealt out to the few cases which may fall within its short course, as to all others preceeding and following it. I cannot therefore but recommend the suspension of this act for a reasonable time, on considerations of justice and the public interest.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Fa- mily Medicines, prepared by the late Rich- ard 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 HAMIL- TON'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 giv- ing me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, say- ing, 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 busi- ness. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.

Mrs. H. Lee. From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-Ge- neral 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 excel- lent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accom- panied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to re- commend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable me- dicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, ap- proaching 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 speed- ily be expected, this medicine affords im- mediate 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 ex- pected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment, which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury or any pernicious ingre- dient, 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 ad- dition to the great cures mentioned in the let- ters from the chancellor of the state of Mary- land, the Rev. Mr. Wolthier and others, late- ly published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of shew- ing the mild yet powerful qualities of this ex- traordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the for- midable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ew- bank, Taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfect- ly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lo- zenges, which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Merg- ant-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 offen- sive 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 al- most 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, ex- pelling 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 Rheu- matic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and pre- vention 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, Rheu- matism, 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 originat- ed—and hence every relief which can be ad-
ministered is too valuable to be forgotten.— Those persons whose avocations peculiarly ex- pose 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 peri- lous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation most expose them. To these who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescrip- tions have been published to cure the disor- ders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated through- out the European continent, and whose un- bounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first con- sequence 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. Ma- cubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, Butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violent- ly attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in a severe manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding 'tis I suppose from a severe cold; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tis- sot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops. I accord- ingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the applica- tion of which, under God, have perfectly re- stored 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 af- fliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providential- ly was recommended to apply at George Dob- bin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself per- fectly 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 ap- ply 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 com- plaint was entirely removed, and he is now re- covering his strength with great rapidity.
