RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. "We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction." Evangelical Magazine, Oct. 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

EMBARGO.
DEBATE on Mr. Hillhouse's motion for a repeal. [CONTINUED.]
Mr. S. Smith said he did not rise to go into the discussion, for he had already taken his share in it, but to answer one observation of the gentleman from Delaware. It would be recollected that the gentleman had some days ago called for the orders and decrees of the belligerents affecting neutral commerce; it would be recollected that the subject had been pressed upon the Senate yesterday before these documents could have been received; that at the request of a gentleman from Massachusetts, the gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Bradley) had withdrawn his motion for postponement; that the gentleman from Massachusetts had then spoken, and that he (Mr. Smith) had replied to him. I stated facts as they occurred to me (said Mr. S.) without paper or document, and asked the opinion of legal gentlemen on the subject of the operation of the orders of council on Spain and Portugal. The gentleman from Delaware had undertaken to decide the question according to common sense. Common sense is my guide, sir; and permit me to say that nine times out of ten it is the best guide to follow; and though I have heard the opinion of the gentleman from Delaware, I have not changed my opinion on the subject. I believe that the British will now exclude our commerce from these ports, because the act of parliament making permanent these orders, authorises the king to modify them, as to his majesty may appear proper. I asked yesterday whether a proclamation to this effect had been issued by the king of Great Britain? The gentleman says common sense will give the orders the construction for which he contends. I take the answer of Mr. Canning to the committee of merchants, and bottom my assertion on it. Will the gentleman deny that before the orders in council were issued, we could, under certain restrictions, trade to these countries? Yet Mr. Canning answers, when asked by these three respectable merchants, who must have had doubts on the subject or they would not have applied for information, "with American produce they may go." If they were, as the gentleman contends, as free to go now as prior to the orders in council, why did not Mr. Canning answer that they might go without restriction, instead of limiting the commerce to the carriage of American produce?
NOVEMBER 23.
Mr. Crawford said that one of the objects of the gentleman from Connecticut was, no doubt, to obtain information of the effects of the embargo system from every part of the U. States. This information was very desirable at the present time, to assist the councils of the nation in forming an opinion of the course proper to be pursued in relation to it. A government founded, like ours, on the principle of the will of the nation, which subsisted but by it, should be attentive as far as possible to the feelings and wishes of the people over whom they presided. He did not say that the representatives of a free people ought to yield implicit obedience to any portion of the people who may believe them to act erroneously; but their will, when fairly expressed, ought to have great weight on a government like ours. The Senate had received several descriptions of the effects produced by the embargo in the eastern section of the union. As the representative of another extreme of this nation, Mr. C. said he conceived it his duty to give a fair, faithful and candid representation of the sentiments of the people whom he had the honor to represent. It was always the duty of a representative to examine whether the effects expected from any given measure had or had not been produced. If this were a general duty, how much more imperiously was it their duty at this time. Every one admitted that considerable sufferings have been undergone, and much more was now to be borne.
Gentlemen have considered this subject generally in a two-fold view (said Mr. C.) as to its effects on ourselves, and as to its
effects on foreign nations. I think this a proper and correct division of the subject, because we are certainly more interested in the effects of this measure on ourselves than on other nations. I shall therefore thus pursue the subject.
It is in vain to deny that this is not a prosperous time in the U. S. that our situation is neither promising or flattering. It is impossible to say that we have suffered no privations in the year 1808, or that there is a general spirit of content throughout the U. States; but I am very far from believing that there is a general spirit of discontent.—Whenever the measures of the government immediately affect the interest of any considerable portion of its citizens, discontent will arise, however great the benefits which are expected from such measures. One discontented man excites more attention than a thousand contented men, and hence the number of discontented is always overrated. In the country which I represent I believe no measure is more applauded or more cheerfully submitted to than the embargo. It has been viewed there as the only alternative to avoid war. It is a measure which is enforced in that country at every sacrifice. At the same time that I make this declaration I am justified in asserting that there is no section of the union, whose interests are more immediately affected by the measure than the southern states—than the state of Georgia.
We have been told by an honorable gentleman who has declined with great force and eloquence against this measure, that great part of the produce of the eastern country has found its way into market; that new ways have been cut open, and produce has found its way out. Not so with us;—we raise no provisions, except a small quantity of rice, for exportation. The production of our land lies on our hands. We have suffered and now suffer; yet we have not complained.
The fears of the southern states, particularly have been addressed by the gentleman from Connecticut, by a declaration that G. Britain, whose fleets cover the ocean, will certainly find a source from which to procure supplies of those raw materials which she has heretofore been in the habit of receiving from us; and that having thus found another market, when we have found the evil of our ways, she will turn a deaf ear to us. By way of exemplification, the gentleman cited a familiar example of a man buying butter from his neighbors. It did not appear to me that this butter story received a very happy elucidation. In the country in which he lives there are so many buyers and so many sellers of butter, that no difficulty results from a change of purchasers or customers. Not so with our raw materials. Admitting that Britain can find other markets with ease, there is, still a great distinction between this and the gentleman's butter case. When a man sells butter he receives money or supplies in payment for it. His wants and wishes and those of his purchasers are so reciprocal, that no difficulty can ever arise. But Great Britain must always purchase raw materials of those who purchase her manufactures. It is not to oblige us that she takes our raw materials, but it is because we take her manufactures in exchange. So long as this state of things continues, so long they will continue to resort to our market. There is no danger then of our losing our market. I have considered the gentleman's argument on this point as applied to the feelings of the southern country. No one article exported from the U. S. equals cotton in amount. If then we are willing to run the risk, I trust no other part of the U. S. will hesitate on this subject.
Another reason offered by the gentleman from Connecticut, and a substantial one if true, is, that this measure cannot be executed. If this be the case, it is certainly in vain to persevere in it, for the non-execution of any public law must have a bad tendency on the morals of the people. But the facility with which the gentleman represents these laws to have been evaded, proves that the morals of the evaders could not have been very sound when the measure was adopted; for a man trained to virtue will not, whatever facility exists, on that account, step into the paths of error and vice.
Although I believe myself that this measure has not been properly executed, nor in that way in which the situation of our country might reasonably have induced us to expect, yet it has been so far executed as to produce some good effect. So far as the orders and decrees remain in full force, so far it has failed of the effect hoped from it: but it has produced a considerable effect, as I shall attempt to show hereafter.

The whole strength of the Spanish force is stated to be as follows: General Castano's army is however considered one half overrated.
 Central army, under Castanos 65,000  Northern army, under Blake, including 10,000 Asturians 50,000  Arragonese, under Palafox 15,000  Catalonians, under Lamas 20,000  Reinforcements on their march from Saragossa, under Vives 10,000  Ditto from Grenada, under Reding 10,000  Ditto from Portugal, under Badojas 14,000  The Marquis de Romana's army 9,000  The expedition under Sir David Baird, 15,000  Sir John Moore's army on its march for Spain 20,000  The remainder of the British in Portugal going to Catalonia 15,000 
Grand Total — 243,000
Generals Moore and Hope marched on the 13th October from Lisbon, and were supposed to be with the patriots.
The troops under General Baird [13,000] were lying at Corunna, October the 17th, in transports.
Ferdinand of Spain, his brother and uncle, are at Paris.
Castanos is to command the centre of the Great Spanish army.
The French still hold Barcelona; have declared it in a state of siege; proclaimed martial law; and issued out three severe proclamations.
There are several accounts of inferior battles in Spain between parties of Spaniards and French. They always ended in favor of the former.
Among the British officers in Spain, are 40 members of parliament.
The French troops embarked at Lisbon on the 15th.
The transports conveying the French troops from Lisbon to France, met with severe gales, soon after leaving port, which dispersed them. One was lost, and 287 soldiers perished.
The French general Kellerman, from Portugal, at his request has been brought to England.
The late revolution in Turkey, has prevented the British envoy, who was on his way, from proceeding to that capital.
An expedition is preparing at Sicily, under General Stuart, supposed against Naples.
Parliament is prorogued to the 10th December.
Seven vessels bound to Heligoland, and 5 from the Baltic, have been taken by a French privateer.
The British squadron has quitted the blockade of the Russian fleet at Port Baltic, leaving three Swedish ships to watch it.
Report says, that twenty of our transports have been driven on the French coast in a gale. We presume they were light vessels without troops.
The Windsor Castle packet arrived in England October 19, from New-York and Halifax.
The proposition of Russia for an armistice with the Swedes, is conjectured to be because she wants to employ her troops elsewhere. A letter from Sweden says, there is nothing in this armistice to warrant peace between Sweden and Russia. The Swedish king, dissatisfied with his guards, has broke 4000 of them. The Swedes have suffered much in Finland.
The armistice is said to be confined to military operations in the north of Finland. It is for an unlimited time, and is dated Sept. 17, 1808.
The Russian ships which capitulated at Lisbon, have arrived at Portsmouth, England.
There is no new indication of a hostile disposition on the part of Austria.
20,000 British troops having marched from Lisbon, 12,000 having arrived at Bilbao, and others preparing soon to sail from England, it is probable there would soon be 40,000 English soldiers in the northern part of Spain to assist against the French.
No military event of great consequence has occurred in Spain for some time past. Cuesta has been a little refractory, and is said to have resigned.
Castanos is said to be appointed commander in chief of the Spanish forces.
The French emperor, in an address to his soldiers, Sept. 19, says "Let us carry our conquering Eagle to the pillars of Hercules," (Gibraltar.)
The French troops in Spain had not been much reinforced. The northern army is not estimated at more than 43,000. The
patriot army opposed to it includes double that number.
A proclamation has been issued in Italy, by Bonaparte, bidding the people to speak about the affairs of Spain.
Sir A. Wellesley had returned to England.
Our Portsmouth correspondent informs us, that when the Russian fleet from Lisbon accompanied by our squadron, entered Portsmouth harbour the latter did not hoist their colours, as if the feelings of the Russians ought not to be bounded by seeing our colours hoisted on our ships and their own colours not hoisted on board them. Our correspondent adds, that since then they have been in the harbour, the Russian Admiral's flag has been flying on board his ship. This sight galls the seamen and the people of Portsmouth grievously.
PORTSMOUTH, October 27.
Twenty thousand British troops have marched into Spain from Portugal. The rest there, are ordered to the Mediterranean.
The Hibernia James, from Londonderry for Philadelphia, has been wrecked, no lives lost.
Colonial produce through Holland is prohibited in France.
A new decree has been passed in Holland to prevent intercourse with England.
An embargo has been laid at Petersburg where several American vessels are among the detained.
Our cruisers are sent into Spain two valuable vessels from Guadaloupe.
American vessels are not permitted to touch during the American embargo—in consequence, six bound thither have stopped at Malta.
The American Schooner Betsey, Hooper, of Marblehead, from England to Spain, was captured by a French privateer, and recaptured, Sept. 28, and arrived at Castro, near Bilbao.
PORTUGAL, September 15.
The establishment of the regency will immediately take place. The loss of the French here in battles previous to the capitulation, is—killed 2226; wounded 1793; prisoners 2234; capitulated 25,368 infantry, 1093 cavalry, and 161 conductors, with 2008 waggons, and 82 boxes of cartridges. [The regency was established Sept. 23; one of the principals in it, is the Archbishop of Oporto.]

The Central Junta have ordered military succors to Catalonia, which is threatened with fresh forces from France.
The Junta have communicated their installations to the foreign ministers at Madrid, and their respective courts, and to all the courts of Europe whose friendship they could expect. They have appointed Don Juan Ruiz Apedeca, charge d'affaires at the court of London.
A Military Junta has been formed, composed of five Generals, viz. Castanos, Marquis de Castellar, Morla, Sangro and the Marquis de Palafox.
The Supreme Junta have formally demanded king Ferdinand of Napoleon.

At the general election of Maryland, in October, a majority of the counties sent federal delegates to the legislature. There is not a doubt that a majority of the people of Maryland are federal—nevertheless the public voice is represented by the peculiar and partial arrangement of districts, in such manner, that at the election held on Wednesday at Annapolis, for president and vice president, the above was the result.
The mere statement of the fact fills the mind with indignation at the partial operation of the arrangement. No impartial man can be found, who will consider 9 to 2 the relation of democratic strength to that of federalists—we should think a reversal of the proportion a surer approximation to truth, tho' we confess it would be far from accurate.

Friday, December 9, 1808.
Since the convocation of the great council of the mandarins and commons, a deep gloom has invested this superb metropolis. Our illustrious and adorable emperor did not think proper publicly to recommend any particular course to be pursued in the present crisis, but gave his ministers privately to understand that the anti-commercial system of Confucius the Younger must be continued, with amendments and additions. The people still continue to indicate uneasiness. The proceedings of the great council experience a solemn pause. But it is not probable that they can be arrested in their headlong career of madness and destruction. Eloquence and argument are alike lost upon them. The Emperor exercises no influence over their deliberations, but, as might be expected in a system like ours, they wait till his wishes are ascertained, and then think for themselves exactly as he has thought. He has been guilty of many violations of the fundamental laws of the empire. In the post-office department he has descended to acts unworthy of so great a monarch, and has usurped the functions of the viceroy of the post roads. A member of the commons from the verdant mountains of the North, who is in possession of the facts, has pledged himself to arraign him before the sacred college. The sun of our glory is eclipsed! The temple of the thundering winds is awfully agitated, and we are rapidly descending to the vale of toms!
[Freeman's Journal.]
REMOVAL OF THE EMBARGO.
Mr. Burwell, formerly private secretary to the President of the U. S. and more intimate with him at this time than any other member of congress, with the single exception perhaps of Mr. Eppes, has declared unequivocally that the embargo will be raised before the close of the present session. Mr. B. is a man of truth and honor, and undoubtedly has no idea that he whom he deems his best and greatest friend, would deceive him upon this important subject. Yet we ought to caution both our agricultural and commercial friends against becoming the dupes of intimations of this sort. Every breath of rumor that is blown from this
hill of the winds has a sensible effect upon the markets, and gives rise to iniquitous speculations. The truth is, as Mr. Jefferson acknowledged to Capt. Woodward, that the administration knows not what to do next. The President is, in the language of Cowper,
As one, who long in thickets and in brakes Entangled, winds now this way and now that, His devious course uncertain— Or, having long in miry ways been foil'd And sore discomfited, from slough to slough Plunging, and half despairing of escape—
And he is extremely anxious to be enabled to realize the more pleasing part of the picture—
If chance at length he finds a green-sward smooth And faithful to the foot, his spirits rise; He chirrups brisk his ear-erecting steed, And winds his way with pleasure and with ease.

Extract of a letter from New-York.
Speculations, within these few days, past, have been carried on with a high hand. The rapid rise of all kinds of merchandise of domestic growth and manufacture, have exceeded any thing I ever witnessed.
It, as we have no doubt they will, the present measures proposed are adopted and persisted in, there must certainly be occasioned a great scarcity of all those articles now speculated in, and they will continue to enhance in value. Salt has sold at $1 50. Havana white and brown sugars have also advanced greatly, say from $10 50 and $12 50 to $14 50 and $15—and it is generally believed that they will continue to rise. We know that large purchases have been directed by houses in this city to be made of sugars in Baltimore, where it was thought they would not take such a sudden start. A great deal has been made by the article of pepper; and even coris have been eagerly bought up. Strange to tell, this latter article is to be had with difficulty anywhere. An advance of 100 per cent. is asked upon them. Where these things will stop we know not.

Extract of a letter, dated Havana, Nov. 10, to a gentleman in Providence (R. I.)
"We learn by a vessel in 35 days from St. Lucar, that all the ports in Spain were glutted with sugars and coffee, and that those articles were nearly as low there as in this island. No news of any engagement in Spain. The vessel, bringing the aforesaid news arrived at Mantanzas—only one or two letters have reached this city.
Extract of a letter from Glasgow, dated October 1.
"Trade in general is very good at present, and our Manufacturers seem to have very little difficulty in getting a market for goods notwithstanding the state of affairs with America. The embargo and non-importation act, now seem to give little uneasiness to people here, and when any body speaks of them it is to make remarks on the folly of the Americans who are losing the advantages of a fine trade, which they might have with Spain and South America."
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated October 3.
"During the suspension of the intercourse between the two countries, many honorary insurances have been effected, by people holding stocks of American produce, and certain premiums have been paid to assure the embargo on to a certain date; these assurances, though illegal have been generally made by those who have had considerable sums at risk, and cannot, therefore, properly be called gambling policies. The premiums now paid will probably tend to shew the public sentiment here, on the continuance or discontinuance of the embargo, better than any thing we could say on the subject: in the past month 8 per cent. has been paid to assure the embargo on in America till the 1st October; 10 per cent. till the 1st November; 30 per cent. to the 1st January; and 40 per cent. to the 1st March; 10 per cent has been paid to assure the embargo off by the 1st of July, 1809; this last premium has lately got up to 16 per cent. and we do not conceive that much could be
effected at present even at that premium; it may be necessary to add that, in all these a war is considered the same as a continuance of the embargo.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES U. S.
FRIDAY, December 9.
REVENUE CUTTERS.
The engrossed bill for authorising the President to employ an additional number of revenue cutters was read the third time; and on the question on its passage,
Mr. Durell moved that it be recommitted for amendment. The reason which he assigned for the motion was, that the bill contemplated the procuring twelve additional revenue cutters, whilst the Secretary of the Treasury had informed the house that three would be sufficient for the purpose of executing the ordinary revenue laws. He had no objection to employing as many vessels as might be necessary to enforce the embargo laws, but he wished that all those which were not necessary for the ordinary purpose of revenue cutters should be hired, not purchased, as he understood the bill to contemplate. The difference of expence between hiring and purchasing would be as 10,000 to 100,000 dollars. He wished the bill to be so amended as to authorise the purchase of three revenue cutters, and the employment, during the existence of the embargo, of as many more as would be necessary to enforce it.
The motion for recommittal was supported by Messrs. Durell, Ely, Gardner, Sloan, & Upham; and opposed by Messrs. Newton, Blackledge and Dawson, who contended that the discretion was left with the secretary of the treasury by the word employ to hire or purchase, as he should think fit; and no doubt he would hire all those which were not necessary for enforcing the ordinary revenue laws; and that a re-commitment would but detain the bill, as the terms of it could not be made more explicit than they were at present.
The motion to re-commit was negatived, Ayes 33.
The question on the passage of the bill was then taken. Yeas 90—Nays 26.

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 the 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.

Valuable Family Medicines. The following well known genuine Medicines, from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by  James Kennedy, Sen'r. 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. 68 Maiden lane. This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly gratifying to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives, when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal 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 Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in those 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 unskilful 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 unparallelled 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.  Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. Which there is reason to believe, have, within eight years past cured upwards of two hundred thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from WORMS and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
