ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN AWAY on the evening of the 7th inst. a Bright Mulatto Man named
BOB,
Who calls himself ROBERT THOMAS; About 5 feet 10 inches high, 34 or 35 years of age, has large black eye brows, large thin eyes, not very dark, and is a stout well made handsome fellow. His hair is black, but not quite straight, and he wears it nicely trimmed, combed and ridged on the top. His beard appears very black if suffered to grow for a day or two, but he usually shaves it very closely. He has recently received an injury on the fore finger of the left hand, and has it bent up, and may probably lose the first joint of it. He speaks deliberately, and is more correct in conversation than persons of his color usually are. He walks slowly, is a very good worker, & delights particularly in attending to horses. He has a variety of cloaths, and took with him one dark green broadcloth coat and pantaloon with yellow buttons, one cloth coat and pantaloon nearly of the same color, but the cloth of inferior quality, with white metal buttons, one blue cloth coat much worn, one old brown surcoat with covered buttons, a good hat, and a pair of black top boots. The rest of his apparel I am not able particularly to describe. He is fond of wearing boots, and pays great attention to his dress.
As he can read and write very well, he may probably produce a forged authority for him to pass, or procure the certificate of some one of the negroes, who, a few years ago, petitioned by the name of Thomas and obtained their freedom in Maryland. If taken out of the state of Maryland and district of Columbia, and secured in any jail, so that I get him again, the above reward will be given, or sixty dollars if taken and secured within the said state or district; all reasonable expenses will also be paid if he should be delivered to me in the city of Washington, or to Dr. Richard Dickett, in Prince George's county, Maryland. He is well acquainted in Annapolis, Baltimore, Geo. Town, and the city of Washington.

NO. VI.
LETTER OF THE HON. SENATOR ADAMS.
We cannot refrain from suggesting to the honorable Senator, the impropriety of those harsh terms which he has applied to a foreign nation. It is of some importance to the character of our country, and perhaps to her interest, that those who are charged with the conduct of our affairs (in relation to other powers) should not violate established principles of decorum. Men who have a proper sense of personal dignity will avoid indecency for their own sakes. Other men ought to avoid it from a sense of duty. We entreat the honorable senator to reflect on what he feels at the perusal of any thing which has been said or written injurious to the interest or character of his own country. If he should be taken for the mouth-piece of his friends (whom we heartily congratulate on their acquisition) may it not be concluded that the rulers of America are hostile to England? He has cited what happened at Copenhagen. The reason assigned by the British ministers, for bombarding that city was a conviction that Denmark would soon be numbered among their foes, which made it their duty to deprive her of the means of annoyance. If a similar conviction be produced respecting America, and a similar result should follow, it would be but a poor consolation to the victims of hostility that it had been provoked by the style of the honorable John Q. Adams. A publication of that sort, without a name, would be a thing of little consequence, because it is easy for the servants of a great monarch to despise anonymous slander; we should be sorry that contempt were shown to the senators of the U. S. And if it were to the honorable Senator, (in circumstances) he could not avoid a dilemma between consideration? Let him then consider. Ministers have also the same temptation; does he desire that it should be exercised against himself? If not, why did he, at a time which he has called up every brand of the fire of resentment? The honorable Senator appears to be deeply impressed with the administration of our facts, he shall nation peculiar to himself. He tells us, "The French declared that he would not be required to be shut against Britain. Thus the honorable Senator himself stoutly to two he do this, rashly and unadvised, the pledge is not. Did he receive information from the president and secretary of state? Received from (or through) the foreign department, the information is false. Received, two conclusions result: first, his confidence in the government, and secondly, their confidence in him, shown by the communication of what was withheld from others: not merely from federalists, but from old and approved democrats, who spoke and voted against the measures proposed, on the ground of those French declarations which Mr. Adams decries. From these two conclusions it results further, that the opinion he has promulgated, and the feelings he has expressed, are in very truth the opinions and feelings of the American citizen. But that his doctrines as well as his sentiments are adverse to England, and favorable to France, no man can doubt who reads his publication. Hence England may fairly infer that the American councils are hostile to her, and pursue her enemy. We submit to the honorable Senator's consideration, however, one little circumstance. Is he sure that in his business he has not been duped? If it should turn out that the French emperor has made substantially the declarations so positively denied, will he say that his new friends took advantage of his eagerness to bask in the sunshine of their smiles, and gave him assurances, which, like the language of Macbeth's witches, though true to the ear were false to the sense? Will he acknowledge that, deceived by his own vanity, he committed himself fully on a half confidence? This would give him a life rent of ridicule. Will he, to avoid the imputation of being duped, declare that knowing the truth he contradicted the words only and not the substance, of threats ascribed to France? If he does, he puts a brand on his forehead which no balm of pity can efface.
head which no balm of pity can efface. Thus then, he stands between the world and Jefferson. The candor of the former is proverbial; the truth and honor of the latter we shall say nothing about; but we desire it may be remembered that the honorable John Q. Adams (a senator from the state of Massachusetts) has made the declaration above cited. And now we proceed to consider his arguments. The first in order, as well as in place, is the respect due by the decisions made, after due deliberation, by their representatives in Congress. The embargo, he tells us "was discussed in the Senate of the United States, and, as far as the constitutional authority of that body extended, there it was decided." But we are informed, on authority which cannot be disputed, that the bill laying an embargo was read a first, a second, and a third time, and passed in the senate in four hours; and that a little time was repeatedly requested, to consider and obtain information, but it was denied. We ask then what Mr. Adams meant by telling his fellow citizens the embargo was discussed in the senate, and is entitled to their respect and obedience, because it had obtained a like concurrence of the other branch, and the approbation of the president? Let any man acquainted with the forms of public business, estimate the time required for the several readings of the bill, the votes taken on each reading, and that necessarily consumed in asking repeatedly for a little delay, and then see how much will be left for discussion. The president recommended a measure (which we believe to be unconstitutional) fraught with danger, and injurious to a great proportion of the people. The senate hurried it through all the forms established to prevent the evils of precipitate resolutions, in the short space of four hours; the house of representatives concurred in the same rash and rapid manner; after which the president (his edict being thus enregistered) gives to his obsequious servants the nod of approbation. And this semblance, this shadow of a law; this unconstitutional decree, his contraband ware of legislation, smuggled through the public offices without opening the package of a single sentence, without examining a thread in the texture; this foreign, prohibited commodity, so produced, so introduced, and so displayed, is recommended to the men as commanding their respect. Here you, Mr. Adams, declare, in the teeth of truth, that the bill was discussed in the Senate? Under what pretext will you defend your veracity? You speak not of candor: It is an article entirely useless to your new friends, if any have been prudent to avoid it, if any had fallen to your lot. But sir, how will you reconcile your assertion with the fact? Will you pretend and the plump vote of a majority, many a single man, is a discussion? When the interests of our country are involved, by the mules of a grand inquisitor, dare you call the murderous deed a discussion? The honorable Senator tells us much of the heat of his heart, and the charity with which he has inspected the conduct of others, his frank unsuspicious confidence. We are thankful for the information; which was by no means unnecessary. The world (unjustly no doubt) had characterized him as jealous, suspicious, irritable; one of those "who are never at ease when they behold a greater than themselves." But he must know best what passes in his bosom, and therefore we shall not listen to the slanders of an envious world. Let him however, be careful that he do not invalidate his declarations, and furnish evidence against himself.
HALIFAX. (Nova Scotia) May 20.
Yesterday being the day appointed by proclamation, the legislative assembly convened for the dispatch of business. A little after two o'clock, P. M. his excellency the lieutenant governor proceeded to the council chamber; where being seated, a message was sent, requiring the attendance of the representative body. The speaker and members of the house attended accordingly; when his excellency was pleased to deliver the following speech: Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Council: Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Assembly: His majesty having been graciously pleased to appoint me to the government of this important establishment; my duty, as well as my inclination, will ever deeply interest me in its prosperity and happiness. In addressing you for the first time, I embrace the opportunity it affords me, of detailing his majesty's paternal solicitude for the security of his province of Nova Scotia.
In addition to the formidable reinforcement of select troops, with ample supplies of warlike stores, which have been landed on your shores, our gracious sovereign has commanded a considerable supply of arms, accoutrements, clothing and camp equipage, to be sent out for the equipment and accommodation of the militia forces of this province. After enumerating these marks of the king's benevolent consideration, I am persuaded you will perceive the propriety of giving immediate attention to the revision and amendment of the militia laws; and will adopt such measures as will co-operate with his majesty's views; and tend to the permanent strength and security of the province, in its present critical situation; and that his majesty's loyal subjects in Nova-Scotia, will evince a ready disposition justly to appreciate the exertions which are made for their preservation, and will display in their own defence, the courage, energy and patriotism of British subjects. Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Assembly: Aware as you must be from long experience, that expenses must necessarily be incurred to support the civil establishment, and the honor of his majesty's crown, I rely on your wisdom and public spirit for granting such supplies as circumstances and the exigencies of affairs may require. Gentlemen of the Council, and Gentlemen of the Assembly: Accustomed as I have been, from my early youth, to a military life, I will endeavor to supply my want of knowledge and experience in discharging the duties of the civil authority, by diligence, and a strict attention to the general interests of the colony. I shall hope, at all times for your able counsel and assistance; and ready as you will ever find me to listen, with the most careful attention, I confidently trust that, by our joint endeavors, my administration of the government will prove honorable to myself and beneficial to the colony. If, at any time, contrary to my wishes, I should unfortunately err, it will, Gentlemen, be an error of judgement and not of the heart. And although I am unused to make professions, I will give you the honest assurance of a Soldier, that I shall constantly endeavor to act with the strictest justice and equity towards every individual. Respect and Gratitude. SALEM, May 27. We have seldom witnessed a scene of more rational gratification, than that of Tuesday last, in rendering to an old and venerable patriot a public tribute of respect and gratitude. It is the fashion of the times to calumniate our public benefactors. Colonel Pickering has been more particularly singled out as a mark for the destroyers of fame and character, and the arrows have been dipped in the most malignant poison. While his life has been devoted to the service of his country, he has had to stem a torrent of the most cruel obloquy, and reproach, provoked by those steady Roman virtues which have buoyed him up in the arduous struggle. Drawn from his native town and state by the calls of his country, in the early part of our revolutionary war, he has of late returned to spend the evening of his life among his ancient friends. They affectionately welcome him into their society; and at this crisis of danger, when the country has need of the services of its best patriots, and they of an open countenance and support against the stream of persecution that would bear them down, the opportunity which has presented itself of paying that respect to colonel Pickering has been at once an indulgence of the generous affections of the heart, and a service in the common cause of the country. The handsome manner in which colonel Pickering was introduced into town on Tuesday, comported with the respectful sentiments which gave rise to the entertainment. Two gentlemen of the committee of arrangements were deputed to proceed in a carriage to his seat in Wenham, and accompany him to Salem. In the mean time upwards of 120 young gentlemen of this and the neighboring towns, desirous of contributing to the public manifestation of respect, assembled on horseback, and being formed into regular order, under the direction of messrs Dean & Mr. Fairfield as marshals, and accompanied by a number of carriages, took a route through Danvers and Upper Beverly, and met the colonel near the Wenham line, whence they escorted him in a very gallant style into Salem. The houses and streets were crowded with grateful spectators; the vessels in Beverly harbor displayed their flags in compliment to the veteran; and as his carriage arrived at the draw of Essex bridge, a salute was fired from a ship at a few yards distance in the stream. The cavalcade passing on thro' thousands of spectators on the front reach, of general Derby's, the escort opened and
faced inwards, forming an extensive line through which the carriage passed to the general's door, where the colonel alighted and was welcomed with a favorite air from an excellent band of music, and met by the committee of arrangements and a large number of gentlemen to receive him. After some time spent in mutual congratulations, in this delightful mansion, the company proceeded to Concert Hall, where, most elegant and sumptuous dinner prepared in a superior style, of which upwards of 150 persons partook. Here the illustrious guest was seated amidst Mr. of those who had been the gay companions of his youth, and were now the steady friends of his age. Here he was surrounded also by young men, who had learned from their fathers the history and character of the man they honored. Among the guests, were the honorable Josiah Quincy, M. C. several of the Essex senators, reverend clergy, &c. The honorable Mr. Goodhue presided at table; and the honorable Messrs. Derby, Pickman and Prescott acted as vice presidents. Fancy was amused in the tasteful arrangement and decoration of the tables; the appetite was gratified with the choicest viands; but it was the pleasing occasion that gave them their true zest—it was indeed the feast of reason, and the flow of federalism. The sentiments which animated the company are expressed in the toasts which were given. The following were from the chair: 1. The United States: may their government be administered by enlightened honest and practical statesmen. U. States March. 2. Massachusetts: May she retain her just influence in the council of the nation. Massachusetts March. 3. The memory of Washington: may the principle, by which he was governed and was governed, soon be acknowledged the only legitimate American principles. Dead March in Saul. 4. Agriculture and the Fisheries—encouraged and rewarded by commerce. Gov. Jay's March. 5. Commerce protected—not abandoned. Rise Columbia. 6. Manufactures—Founded on the prosperity of agriculture and commerce—not established on their ruins. Unlucky Mistake. 7. The memory of Hamilton—who possessed the sure criterion of great merit, the uninterrupted confidence of Washington. Dirge. 8. The firmness of Federal Legislators, unappalled by the leaden arguments of their opponents. Dog and gun. 9. Every one in his element: may the seamen return from the spade to the capstan, and the philosopher from the chair of state to the closet. Mind your business. 10. Real "American Ground": equal and exact justice to all nations; "Entangling alliances with none." Here's my thumb, I'll ne'er beguile you. 11. The independence of the U States: may those who were instrumental in achieving it, not be forgotten by those who idolize the hand that claims to have penned the declaration. Gen. Knox's March. 12. In our zeal to encourage manufactures, may we not encourage the manufacture of citizens from foreign materials. Paddy Wack. 13. The voluntary tribute to veracity—belief of plain assertions, unsupported by oaths and attestations. Gen. Donnison's March. 14. The Clergy of New England, "free from the religion of Paine." Old Hundred. 15. May the people, who support government, never be prevented by that government from supporting themselves. O dear! what a matter be. 16. The Massachusetts Body Politic: the election ball proves it to be conversant although the head is still out of order. Sullivan's reel. 17. Steady opposition to despotism, whether in the form of Imperial Decrees, Royal Proclamations, or Presidential Recommendations. God save America. VOLUNTEERS. By the hon. Mr. Pickering—The people of the U States: No to get mistaking zeal to maintain power & place, for patriotism, they will distinguish their enemies from their friends. By the hon. Mr. Quincy—The towns of Salem and Boston, united by the most graceful recollections: Perpetual homage to that town, whose inhabitants, when invited to profit by the depression of a com-

...maganimously replied, "that they would not indulge the thought of raising their fortunes on the ruins of their suffering neighbors." By the hon. Mr. Thorndike. The continued efforts of our country: When their measures tend to promote the public good, may they meet the support of all honest men.
By the President, after Mr. Pickering had retired. The hon. Timothy Pickering, Esq.; the man who deserves, while his opponents court popular favor.
Col. Pickering's march. After Mr. Quincy had retired. The hon. Josiah Quincy, Esq.; he will never seal the death warrant of his country, upon executive recommendations.
After the President had retired. The hon. Benjamin Goodhue, firm and inflexible patriot of the old school.
The hon. Edward St. Loe Livermore, Esq. the firm and enlightened representative of the Essex North District: May his late effort in congress to remove the bars from our commerce, though unsuccessful, be gratefully requited.
Our political chymists: in their experiments to melt down our merchants into manufacturers, may they burn their fingers in the crucible.
James Sullivan: While any doubts remain of his fitness for office, may he so want "pen, ink and paper, and a disposition to use them."
The Louisiana purchase, made in the wisdom of the fish, which when it had swallowed the hook, thought it had caught the fisherman.
Who's the Dupe. The Navy of the U. States: Our "lord high admiral" on the approach of danger, ordered the crews to quit the ships, and take to the shore in boats.
The decks were clear'd, the gallant band &c. The act in addition to the act entitled an act supplementary to the act entitled an act supplementary to the act entitled an act prohibiting an EMBARGO. Surely we do live under a government of laws!!!
Our brethren of Cape Ann: May their fish break through the Embargo Net, and twist its threads round the neck of democracy.
The Political Pot: May Federalism soon return to scum it, and set it aside to cool and settle. Molly hang the Kettle on.

WE take pleasure in mentioning that the Stock in the Alexandria and Washington Turnpike Company, has all been subscribed for, and some shares over, and we have no doubt but as soon as the contracts are made for the work, that the Stock will be considerably above par.
Mr. SNOWDEN, I HAVE heard with pleasure that a number of gentlemen have agreed to establish a Patent Shot Manufactory in town. I have no doubt and sincerely hope they will find it profitable.
It would be a happy thing if some one would propose an establishment, that would give employment to the poor, particularly to women and children, of the latter there are vast numbers about your streets in the high road to ruin—By being employed in a well regulated manufactory they would not only be useful to themselves and the community, but would be saved from destruction and become good members of society.
Manufacturing establishments are now making in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and at Petersburg, and there has been a respectable meeting for the purpose in Richmond, the proceedings of which, and the report of the committee when made, you will do well to publish in your paper.
Z. June 7.
The Prices Current.—From the Virginia Herald, published at Fredericksburg, we learn, that the best flour may be purchased there at the ruinous and almost unprecedented price of THREE DOLLARS PER BARREL.
This intelligence we conceive to be both important and interesting—Important, because it proves to demonstration that this fatal embargo—this experiment that is drawing off the very life's blood of the body politic, is now operating as a most burthensome and unequal tax upon the yeomanry of the country—is relaxing the sinews of the government, and debilitating every part of the political system—Interesting, because it will certainly induce a discussion amongst the people of many very momentous questions—It will cause the people to enquire, whether the present is so wise and impartial an administration as they have been led to suppose by the specious representations of its supporters;—whether its imbecility has not reduced us to
our present distressed and degraded situation, and whether those men who have pledged themselves to adhere to the policy by which Mr. Jefferson has been guided, ought to be elevated to the most dignified offices in the country by their free suffrages.
We wish the men of the nation by no means to forget, that our present rulers will feel themselves bound if they respect their word or have any regard for consistency, to persevere in supporting the ineffectual and disastrous system, that is now operating upon, not a small portion, but every part of our extensive country—from Georgia to Maine—from the Atlantic to the lakes to the Atlantic. We wish them also to remember, that the federalists have opposed this Embargo from the first moment that it was proposed—that some of the most illustrious statesmen of the community have opposed it with all their eloquence, and brought against it all their influence—that they have entreated our perverse rulers to abandon their heedless cause, and open once more the ten thousand channels through which the fruits of our honest industry were borne into the depots of other nations. Let them also bear in mind, that we have supplicated in vain for an emancipation from commercial and agricultural restriction, and that the people have expostulated without being heard with that reverence which is due from those whom they have covered with honors—honors which they have proved themselves unable to sustain, and of which, it is both hoped and believed, they will soon be despoiled. [Washington Federalist.]
Proposals are issued in Baltimore by John E. Hall, Esq. for publishing by subscription, the American Law Journal.—He proposes printing about four numbers in each year, which will form an octavo volume of 400 pages, at a rate not exceeding one cent per page.
To the gentlemen of the bar this is a work of utility. A Law Journal was established in London in 1803, which has been productive of benefit not only to the proprietor, but to the community at large. The frequent recurrence of publication, enabled the Editors to give the earliest intelligence of new and important decisions or points in which the commercial world was deeply interested.—while the "immunities of invisibility," offered a fair opportunity to professional gentlemen to prosecute their researches by anonymous communications. The first law characters in Great Britain entered the lists of controversy in that field, while those of less knowledge have silently gazed and acquired experience from the contest. Mr. H. proposes publishing his Journal upon the same plan, and we hope he may meet with suitable encouragement.
THE NEXT PRESIDENT.—The democratic editors have already begun the electioneering campaign for the next president. They have taken sides against each other, and now come out in their papers with all the rancor of civil discord. We anticipate the development of much truth in the discussions respecting the candidates; more, perhaps, than is generally allowed to come from the democratic presses. Whether the rival candidates will gain any honor from the truths which may be promulgated, is, however, doubtful. Each partisan holds up his favorite as the savior of the country, at least, if not of the universe. For my part I see no difference between one democratic and another; between Clinton, Madison and Monroe. If we are to be ruled by Bonaparte, through the aid of democracy, it is of no consequence through whose hands his imperial majesty delivers his decrees. The recommendation of Clinton or Madison alters not the decree, nor the effects of it.
"Can there such mighty diff'rence be 'Twixt tweedle dum and tweedle dee." [Comm. Adv.]
The Osage NOT in England.—By accounts from England, as late as the middle of April, we find that the Osage had not then arrived there. Why she should stay so long in France is a mystery. Some have conjectured that Bonaparte has "ordered that she shall remain sequestered until a decision may be had thereon, according to the dispositions which shall have been expressed by the government of the U. S." But this conjecture we think an improbable one. Bonaparte is not yet prepared for such an outrage; he knows the spirit of the people of this country better, unless he has been sadly deceived by his spies. The most probable conjecture is that the commander of the Osage had instructions to wait for the "decision" of his "imperial majesty," on the dispositions expressed by our government, in the dispatches sent by that ship. His imperial majesty has much business on his hands, and could not be expected to be in a hurry about deciding the fate of so small a fraction of his empire as the U. S. The Osage may, therefore, be embargoed at L'Orient several months before she will be al-
lowed to visit the insignificant island of Britain; and perhaps may not be allowed to visit there at all. However, we have no doubt, but that she will be home before November next, wind and weather permitting, and that will be time enough for congress to declare war against England.
[Ibid] Since the arrival of general Miranda, a good deal has been said on the subject of invading the Province of Carracas. Mr. Depon's description of that country has been referred to in support of the arguments for this enterprize. Owing to the height of the mountain, the climate is said to be much more salubrious than that of the island in the same latitude; the soil is considered extremely fertile, and the minds of the inhabitants strongly averse to the monopolizing despotism of the mother country. After the experience we have had at Buenos Ayres, no reflecting person will advise our attempting to make a conquest of a Spanish settlement; and the point recommended, therefore is to emancipate. The principal question in this case is, in what state of civilization are the inhabitants of that country? Are they fitted to preserve and enjoy liberty? If they are not, it is doubtful whether they will benefit much by the change; but if they are, (and it is confidently stated they are so) there can be no question of their prospering more under an independent government than with the present system. The chief regret would in that case be, that the attempt had not been made long ago, as a measure of that kind, undertaken at present, could scarcely fail to prolong the war.
[London pap.]
Sir Hercules Langrishe, the friend of Burke, in his admirable speech on improving the representation in parliament, thus splendidly illustrates the madness of innovation in government, and the absurdity of setting aside the wisdom of ages, in favor of the folly of a day. "I prefer the oak that has taken deep root in your land, that has stood the shocks of time, the succession of seasons and the changes of the heavens, to the weeds of the field, which are the growth of the day, the production of the wilderness, and the promise of desolation."
[London pap.]
If the multitude were to govern, says the same sharer in the mantle of Burke, it would, in the first instance, be the government of ignorance over wisdom, and of violence over order: in the end, the people themselves would be enslaved. The fact is the people, like the dominion of female beauty, does not long survive the moment of their being corrupted. They are flattered until they are seduced, and when they are seduced the seducer becomes the tyrant. You will find the truth of this position not only in the legends of love, but in the history of every democracy, or popular insurrection that ever existed; you may read it in the destiny of that country, in which (as an able writer expressed) "suspicion fills their prisons, and massacre is their grol delivery."

From a late English paper. One John Watson, a young man, a journeyman carpenter, was condemned to suffer in the year 1758, for being active in a riot, but received his majesty's most gracious pardon the evening previous to the day appointed for his execution; upon which he expressed the grateful acknowledgment of his heart upon the important occasion, in the following verses:
And live I yet, by power divine! And have I still my course to run? Again brought back, in its decline, The shadow of my parting sun! Wand'ring I ask, is this the breast, Struggling so late with grief and pain, The eyes which upwards look'd for rest, And dropp'd their weary lids again. The recent horrors still appear! Oh! may they never cease to awe! Still be the king of terrors near. Whom late in all his pomp I saw. Torture and grief prepar'd his way, And pointed to a yawning tomb; Darkness behind eclips'd the day, And check'd my forward hopes to come But now the dreadful storm is o'er; Ended at last the doubtful strife; And living I the hand adore, That gave me back again my life. God of my life! what just return Can sinful dust and ashes give? I only live my sins to mourn, To thee my God I only live. To thee, benign and sacred power! I consecrate my lengthen'd days; While mark'd with blessings every hour Shall speak thy co-extended praise.

Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children affected with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
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 ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Mollner and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges, which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine-street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
Also,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. In 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; no 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 I 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.
