EMBARGO.
DEBATE on Mr. Hillhouse's motion for a repeal.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Crawford's Speech continued.]
When we advance to the second proposition, we are told in the most positive terms by the gentlemen from Delaware and Connecticut, that this measure has produced no effect on foreign nations. The gentleman from Massachusetts barely admits, that at first it had excited some small degree of alarm in Great Britain for a short time. I cannot believe that gentlemen wish to be understood literally when they tell us this. It can be nothing more than a figure of rhetoric. It cannot really be meant that the embargo has produced no effect. The gentleman from Massachusetts gets over it by saying that insurrections among her manufacturers, were familiar to him; he had always heard of them. But, sir, I do not recollect to have heard of any insurrection of the kind to which I allude, having taken place. They have at times heretofore been disorderly indeed, but in the late case it was a peaceable assemblage of laborers, not intending to overthrow the government or to resist the laws, but to shew the absolute state of starvation with which they were threatened. There has been nothing of this kind within my recollection before. We have heard of mobs and riotous tumults; but in the present case no movement was made by those who were so much distressed as to disturb the government. With a degree of surprise which excited my astonishment, the gentleman tells us that if 100 principal manufacturers should be reduced to bankruptcy, and 500,000 should be turned out of employ, this would but strengthen the army and navy of the British nation; that, when you affect Great Britain most seriously, you do her a benefit. Pursuing this argument a little farther, suppose 500,000 should be unemployed, the arm of the nation would be so much the more strengthened, and the more it would enable her to enforce her arbitrary maritime regulations. I see no conclusion to which this argument would lead us, but to this: that as you destroy her manufactures you make her more powerful. If the effect of destroying her manufactures was to be simply that which the gentleman conceives of arming her vessels and filling the ranks of her armies, it possibly might promote her strength. But these people must be clothed and fed, whether in the land or sea service, and must also have a little pay. If all her manufactures are destroyed, where is she to obtain the sum of money necessary to pay, clothe, and feed these people. Sir, we affect them vitally by affecting their manufactures; for, by the export duty on these and imports on their returns, they obtain great part of their revenues. If they export nothing they can import nothing. This conclusion of the gentleman from Massachusetts cannot therefore be correct.
The gentleman from Massachusetts says it is true that a considerable alarm was excited in England when the news of the embargo arrived there; that they had been led to believe from their writers and speakers that a discontinuance of their intercourse with this country would be productive of most injurious consequences; but that they were now convinced that all their writers and statesmen were mistaken, and that she can suffer a discontinuance of intercourse without being convulsed or suffering at all. To believe this requires a considerable portion of credulity, especially when the most intelligent men affirm to the contrary. In the last of March or the first of April last, we had on an examination of merchants at the bar of the British House of Commons, that the most positive injury must result from a continuance of non-intercourse. It is not possible that our merchants on this side of the water, however intelligent they may be, can be as well acquainted with the interests of Great Britain as her most intelligent merchants. This alarm however, the gentleman has told us continued through the spring and dissipated in the summer.
It is very easy to discover the cause of the dissipation of this alarm. It was not because the loss of intercourse was not calculated to produce an effect, but it proceeded from an adventitious cause which could not have been anticipated—the revolution in Spain; and there is no intelligent man who will not acknowledge its injurious effects on our concerns. No sooner did the British ministers see a probability that the struggle between the Spanish patriots and France would be maintained, than they conceived hopes that they might find other supplies; and then they thought they might give to the people an impulse by interesting the nation in the affairs of Spain, which would render lighter the effects of our embargo. This is the cause of the change in Mr. Canning's language, for every gentleman in the house knows that a very material change took place in the latter part of the summer. If then the embargo has not produced the effects calculated from it, we have every reason to believe that its failure to produce these effects has been connected with causes wholly adventitious, and which may give way if the nation adheres to the measure. If however there be any probability that these causes will be continued for a long time, we ought to abandon it. I am not in favor of continuing any measure of this kind, except there be a probability of its producing some good effect on those who make it necessary for us to exercise the act of self-denial. When I first saw the account of the revolution in Spain, my fears were excited lest it should produce the effect which it has done. As soon as I saw the stand made by the Spanish patriots, I was apprehensive that it might buoy up the British nation under the sufferings arising from the effects of their iniquitous orders, which, compared with the sufferings which we ourselves have borne, have been as an hundred to one. If there be evidence that the effects of this measure will yet be counteracted by recent events in Spain, I will abandon it, but its substitute should be war, and no ordinary war—I say this notwithstanding the petitions in the other branch of the legislature, and the resolutions of a state legislature which have lately been published. When I read the resolutions called emphatically the Essex resolutions, I blush for the disgrace they reflect on my country. We are told there that this nation has no just cause of complaint against Great Britain; and that all our complaints are a mere pretext for war. I blush that any man belonging to the great American family should be so debased, so degraded, so lost to every generous and national feeling, as to make a declaration of this kind. It is debasing to the national character.

FOREIGN RELATIONS.
DEBATE.
On the report in part of the committee to whom was referred so much of the president's message as relates to foreign relations.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Bacon's Speech continued.]
But although the course which the gentleman took in his view of the subject before us, might not itself be correct, yet I feel myself now in some measure justified, if not strongly called upon, to follow him in some of those remarks upon our past measures and present state, which he has handed to the committee.
The first remark of his which demands notice at present was, that the principles which he found avowed in the report of the select committee, were loathsome in his view, and disgraceful to the nation. As the gentleman has seen fit on this point to deal only in general allegations, it is impossible for me to vindicate from his reproaches any of those particular positions which are so much the object of his abhorrence. Is it that concluding paragraph which is so offensive to the gentleman?
"And it may not be useless that every foreign nation should understand that its aggressions never will be justified or encouraged by any description of American citizens. For the question for every citizen now is, whether he will rally round the government of his choice, or enlist under foreign banners? Whether he will be for his country or against his country."
I hope it was not this sentiment which bore with it so loathsome a relish; but it is not for me to select those parts of it which he is offended with, and which he has denounced by general allegations. The gentleman had before, in commenting on the general resolution reported by the committee, remarked that he was opposed usually to abstract legislation and general declarato-
ry resolutions, viewing it as he did to be usually the resort of weakness or of ignorance; and yet he can himself thus deal in general and sweeping denunciations of that report. It is not for me to make the application of his former maxim.
But, says the gentleman, of what use can be the declaration which is set up in this resolution, that the rights, honor and independence of our country were violated by the edicts of Great Britain and France; for who questions it? I am glad, sir, to hear at last, from so high authority, that there can be no question raised on this point. Accustomed as I have been for a long time past to be told, through the medium of too many of those prostituted gazettes which live upon the perverted passions of the day, and disgrace the nation which supports them, that this government and not Great Britain were the real aggressors in the present controversy; that she, instead of being the injuring, was in truth the injured party, and had therefore the best right to complain, I rejoice to see these calumnies at last put down by so commanding an authority, and hope that from this time the public are to be imposed upon by them no longer. To those unquestionable invasions of our national rights, the gentleman further agrees, in general terms, that this nation ought not to submit. But what, says he, do your past measures amount to but submission? I well know that this language has been the catch-word of newspaper argument during the summer past, and am not altogether surprised at hearing the sophism renewed at this time; and how does the gentleman proceed to prove it? Submission (says he) is the agreeing to a thing ordered by another in the manner that he prescribes, or refraining to do a thing that he prohibits you from doing. England says that we shall not trade with France and her allies, and they in their turn say that we shall not trade with England—We prohibit altogether the trade with both. His conclusion is, that we submit to the course prescribed by both. But, sir, is the refraining from our trade with both those powers pursuing that course of conduct which the interest of either of them demands, or the policy and spirit of their edicts against us evidently holds forth? It is as much the interest and the wish of Great Britain that we should continue our trade with her, as that we should forbear it with France and her allies—What have we said by the embargo? that we will forbear the latter and continue the former? No: but that unless you take off your interdictions against that trade which you wish to deprive us of, you shall not have the benefit of that trade which it is your interest and your wish to have us pursue. The policy of the French edicts and their effect upon our interests and rights being precisely similar, the measure which we mete to them is also the same. Again, says the gentleman, the embargo is not only submission to both, but it is aiding directly the policy of both against each other; for, says he, the object of France is to compress the commerce of Great Britain. The withdrawing of our trade aids that policy. The policy of Great Britain is to cut up neutral trade to France, and thereby excite discontent and revolt amongst her subjects, and the withdrawing of our trade aids that policy. By the gentleman's own argument then, it is proved that the embargo has operated as a measure of compression, of inconvenience, or in other words of coercion against both powers; upon Great Britain by compressing and narrowing her trade, and upon France by withholding her supplies; and the very same argument by which he attempts to prove that it is in accordance with the policy of the one, proves that it is in hostility with that of the other, that it is, so far as it goes, resistance; and this is all that was ever contended for by its advocates. I take the gentleman now solely upon his own argument, without drawing to my aid other considerations which strengthen and explain this conclusion.
But the gentleman will allow nothing to be considered as resistance, which is not bottomed on powder and ball; every other measure, as one of coercion, must be submission. In the natural world every order of animals is endowed with its own peculiar weapons of annoying its antagonist, and waging war in its defence; and most of them are different from each other. Would it be strange if there was a similar variety in the organization of nations? Because Great Britain wages hostility only by ships of war and great guns, does it follow that this country cannot and must not attempt to do it in any other mode, at least for a temporary period? or because Napoleon attacks his enemies with muskets and bayonets, must the U. States be allowed to use only those weapons? Even in open and actual war, fortresses are not always taken by open and direct assault; it is frequently found most practicable to reduce them by the
slower operations of a siege, and the cutting off of supplies. This may at times be the policy of a nation, and before either are resorted to, may be a prudent and a policy. Those means failing, they may be sure, in the resort, rely upon that which is emphatically called the last appeal of nations, and rest their vindication upon sword; and upon that I trust we shall be necessary, not be backward to rest our [Speech to be continued.]

KONINGSBERG, September 1.
As soon as the arrival of the Russian emperor in our environs was announced, Prussian majesty went out to meet him with an numerous suite. On a level near Koningsstadt, both monarchs alighted from their carriages, and embraced each other in the most affectionate manner. On the 19th, the birth day of prince August, both the illustrious friends paid him a visit of congratulation. On the 21st, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Russian monarch continued his journey for Erfurth.
SPAIN.
MADRID, October 1.
The supreme government still holds its sittings at Aranjuez. The court Plaza Blanca is their president. They have ordered lieutenant-general Urdina, governor of Segovia, to bring before them, some state prison in the tower of that place, a prisoner Valdes, counsellor of state, and deputy of the province of Leon. They have at the same time ordered general Cuesta to leave his army, and come and give an account of his motives for arresting general Valdes. They have further declared Valdes the legal representative for Leon, and rejected the man chosen by Cuesta. In consequence of Cuesta's violent conduct one of the representatives of the nation, Mr. Stuart, has refused to give him any part of the money sent to Asturias and Leon by the British government. This proceeding Mr. Stuart has given great satisfaction to the Spanish government. Cuesta, however, marched a detachment of his army to Valdes, a small town, near to Leon, and seized 250,000 dollars belonging to the British government. General Castanos is appointed commander in chief of the armies of Andalusia, Castile, Valencia, and Extremadura. These troops compose the central army—the effective numbers of which are as follows:
  Andalusia, 25,000 troops of the line   Valencia, 16,000 }   Castile, 12,000 } mostly peasants   Estremadura, 12,000 }   Total, 65,000. 
Of the army of Andalusia one division is still at Madrid, and one at Ocaña. Orders were sent this day to the army of Extremadura to begin its march to Burjo de Osma. The marquis de Romana is appointed to the command of the Northern army, at present under gen. Blake. The present strength of this army, exclusive of the marquis de Romana's corps, is 30,000 men, of which more than one half are troops of the line. When the army of the Marquis will have arrived, there will be 40,000 two-thirds of the line, to which may be added 10,000 Asturians.
The army of Arragon will continue to be commanded by gen. Palafox; but he has been ordered to detach 10,000 men to Catalonia, including the division of the army of Valencia, then at Saragoza. His remaining force will be but 15,000 men; a considerable portion of which will be peasants. Gen. Vives is to command the army in Catalonia, which will be reinforced immediately by 10,000 men from Grenada, under gen. Reding.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15.
Letters have been received as the department of state, from Mr. Pinkney, our minister at London, by the arrival of captain Dolliver at New York. They are only to the 10th of Oct. and we understand contain nothing of an interesting nature. Monitor.
"OUT AT LAST,"
OR,
THE PLAN DEVELOPED.
We have at length been able to penetrate the mysteries of the cabinet, and ascertain its plan of future policy. The system of non-intercourse with England and France is to be carried into effect; it is no false alarm; it will certainly be consummated. When this system shall be matured, and fortified by a sufficient number of supplementary out-works, THE EMBARGO WILL BE RAISED as it respects other countries, and our vessels, under certain restrictions, will be permitted to arm. Whether the removal of the embargo will not be nominal rather than real, it is impossible to say. At all events, the ship owners will be obliged to give two sets of bonds, and in both cases of enormous magnitude; bonds, not to violate or evade the non-intercourse system, and bonds, not to make an improper use of their arms. Events in Europe may possibly change this plan, but the public may rest assured that it is that which the government now has in contemplation.
Letters of marque and reprisal against France and England, are talked of also, but this remains, as the lawyers say, a moest point . It would seem that the administration has not relinquished all hope of an accommodation with France. Great Britain is given up as incorrigible.
Full reliance may be placed upon this information.
[Freeman's Journal.]
Extract of a letter from a respectable mercantile character in New York, to a gentleman in Washington City, dated Dec. 9, 1808.
"In advertizing to the accounts from Liverpool, relative to the prices of wheat, &c. I find them corroborated by what captain Dolliver states, who arrived to day in 41 days passage. Wheat was up to fifteen shillings per bushel; the quarter loaf of bread had risen four pence a short time previously to his sailing, and sea-island cotton was four shilling and six pence per pound. Our consul told him that the last crop of wheat was poor, and short in quality, that naval stores were becoming scarce, and his opinion was that should the embargo be kept on six months longer, the supplies from the United States would be of such importance as to induce the English to relax in their orders in council."
"Captain Dolliver states, that in the city of London, previously to his sailing, handbills had been stuck up at the public corners, declaring the American states in rebellion, and that Vermont had revolted."
Senate of the United States.
MONDAY, Dec. 12.
Mr. Giles, from the committee appointed the 11th November, on that part of the message of the President of the United States, which relates to the embargo laws, and the measures necessary to enforce the observance thereof, made a further report, in part, of the following bill, "To authorise and require the President of the United States to arm, man and fit out for immediate service all the public ships of war, vessels and gun boats of the United States."
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the President be, and he is hereby authorised and required, to cause to be fitted out, officered, manned, and employed, as soon as may be, all the frigates and other armed vessels of the United States, including gun boats; and to cause the frigates and armed vessels, so soon as they can be prepared for actual service respectively, to be stationed at such ports and places on the sea-coast as he may deem most expedient, or to cruise on any part of the coast of the United States, or territories thereof."
"Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That for the purpose of carrying the foregoing provision into immediate effect, the President of the United States be, and is hereby authorised and required in addition to the number of petty officers, able seamen, ordinary seamen, and boys, at present authorised by law, to appoint, and cause to be engaged and employed as soon as may be midshipmen, corporals of marines, able seamen, ordinary seamen and boys, which shall be engaged to serve for a period not exceeding years, but the President may discharge the same sooner, if in his judgment their service may be dispensed with: And to satisfy the necessary expenditures to be incurred therein, a sum not exceeding dollars be, and the same is hereby appropriated; and shall be paid out of any monies in the treasury not otherwise appropriated."
Mr. Bradley gave notice that he should on Thursday next ask leave to bring in a bill in addition to the act, entitled "An act for the more effectual preservation of peace in the ports and harbors of the United States, and in the waters under their jurisdiction."
TUESDAY, December 13.
The bill to authorise and require the president of the U. States to arm, man and fit out for immediate service all the public ships of war, vessels and gun boats of the U. S. was read the second time and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
After consideration, the bill making further provision for enforcing the embargo was recommitted to the original committee.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES U. S.
MONDAY, December 12.
Motion for publishing Confidential Papers.
After the reference of some petitions and resolutions of a private nature—
Mr. Randolph observed, that it was not without some embarrassment that he rose to submit a motion to the house, not because he conceived that there was any thing improper in the motion itself—far otherwise—but because he was not perfectly sure whether, previous to making it he ought not to request the galleries to be cleared. But inasmuch as the motion itself could convey nothing to the spectators in the galleries which would be improper to be disclosed, and it would be competent for the chair to decide whether the discussion (if any should arise) ought to be carried on with closed doors or not, perhaps it would be better in the first instance to submit the motion with the doors open, because he knew what sensations the closing the doors of the house frequently excited. The public had already seen, by the supplemental journal of proceedings with closed doors, the fate of several motions made in order to give publicity to several communications from our ministers abroad. They had also seen, he presumed, because he had seen in the public newspapers, a letter purporting to be written by a member of this house (Mr. Sawyer) containing what was stated to be a disclosure of those dispatches in substance. It could not be forgotten that during the discussion of propositions to give publicity to those communications, gentlemen, one in particular from Massachusetts, had conceived that nothing could be more unhappy than to give substantially their contents; that it would be infinitely better in fact to publish them verbatim, than to give what each individual might chuse to call their substance: and Mr. R. said, it was well known that his worthy friend from North
Carolina, (Mr. Macon) though zealous for their publication, had voted against giving permission to any individual to make public what he thought to be their substance.
It was with extreme reluctance Mr. R. said, that he had drawn into question the name of any member of this house, particularly of one who was not present. He said, he had deferred the motion which he was about to submit, in hopes that the gentleman whose name had been used by the public papers, would have been present to inform the House whether his name had been properly used by the public papers or not.—He wished not to be understood as vouching for the truth of the fact; but the impression on the public mind was the same from that letter, as if it had been actually written by the gentleman in question; and it must be well known to every member of the house, and that as far as it went was a proof that it had not been written by the gentleman in question, that the letter did not contain substantially the amount of the dispatches. He said he perceived in the printed letter that an important letter of gen. Armstrong, he thought of the 22d of Feb. was not alluded to at all. He thought it important not only that the public should see what the members themselves had seen, that they should know what they knew, but that they should be apprized of what in his opinion was not of much less consequence of what the house did not know.—For this purpose he said he would again submit a motion to the house, which had been once rejected upon ground which in his opinion could not at this moment have weight; since the principal objection had consisted in the impropriety of permitting any thing purporting to be the contents of the communications to be known, on account of the misrepresentation to which they might be liable. Mr. R. then offered the following resolution:
Resolved , That the injunction of secrecy imposed on the communication from our respective ministers at Paris and London, which accompanied the president's message of the 8th ult. be taken off, with the exception of the extract of a letter from general Armstrong to the Secretary of State dated Paris, Dec. 27th, 1808.
The Speaker observed that in his opinion the rules of the house required that this resolution should be considered with closed doors.
On motion of Mr. Randolph, the galleries were accordingly cleared, and so remained for about an hour and a half, when they were again opened. Whilst the doors were closed the question on Mr. Randolph's motion was taken, after debate, by yeas and nays—yeas 42, nays 81.
TUESDAY, Dec. 13.
FOREIGN RELATIONS
The report of the committee on our foreign relations still under consideration—
Mr. Gardenier occupied the floor, in continuation of his observations of yesterday, for four hours.
Mr. Pinkney spoke for about twenty minutes in reply.
The first resolution, contained in the following words, was divided, so as to take the question first on the part in Italic .
Resolved , That the United States cannot, without a sacrifice of their rights, honor and independence, submit to the late edicts of Great Britain,—and France.
The question was then taken on the first clause of this resolution, and CARRIED, one hundred and twenty one to two. Nays—Messrs. Gardenier and Hoge.
The question was then taken on the second clause of the resolution, and CARRIED one hundred and thirteen to two. Nays—Messrs. Gardenier and Hoge.
The question was then taken on the whole resolution as reported by the committee, and CARRIED one hundred and eighteen to two. Nays—Messrs. Gardenier and Hoge.
And the house adjourned about seven o'clock.

SMALL POX.
THE total absence of the Small Pox for some time past, seems to impose upon the Physicians of Alexandria, the duty of making known to its inhabitants that a natural case of that disease now exists in a small tenement in the neighborhood of Ezra Kenzie's tanyard. As the necessity of having recourse to inoculation, ought, in the opinion of the subscribers, to be avoided if possible, they have taken measures to procure from some of the adjacent towns an immediate supply of VACCINE INFECTION, which they hope will arrive in two or three days at furthest.—In the mean time the authority of the Police will be applied to prevent the subject now laboring under Small Pox, from wandering from his present residence. Little or no danger is therefore to be apprehended during the short interval which will elapse before vaccination can be resorted to. After which, various infection will be preserved for the purpose of testing the validity of all the cases of King Pox which have occurred in this place from the first introduction of this disease.

Valuable Family Medicine. The following well known genuine Medicines, from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by  James Kennedy, Sen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, And no where else in Alexandria.  Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended Hahn's Anti-Bilious Pills , prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store , No. 56 Maiden Lane.  This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colics, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney.
During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Anti-Bilious Pills , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends; and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY , No. 145, Cherry street, New York.
Hamilton's Grand Restorative,
Recommended as an invaluable Medicine, for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any destructive intemperance, the unskillful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleet, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.

ALSO, The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)  Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and 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 ways 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-
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy , from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the 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.
