SUMMARY OF POLITICS.
AMERICAN STATES.—What had been reported to have been said in parliament, upon our dispute with the American states, was noticed in the preceding number, vol. X. page 1007. Since that, some remarks upon the subject have appeared in the newspapers, particularly in the paper called the Courier. But, before I speak particularly upon the subject of these remarks, it seems necessary to notice an occurrence of considerable importance, which has recently taken place in the country, to which these remarks relate; which occurrence is no less than an accusation of treason, preferred by one of the attorneys general of the United States, against Mr. Aaron Burr, who, as the public will recollect, was lately vice president of that country. From the accounts which have reached this country, it would appear that Burr, who is a man of great ambition and of talents and courage equal thereto, had formed a scheme, which scheme he was actually preparing to put in practice for separating the Western from the Eastern part of that immense country called the United States, and to erect a kingly government in the Western part, of which he himself was to be king. In this project, viewing it with a mere philosophical eye, I see nothing more objectionable than the circumstance of there being a king of the name of Aaron; for, it is impossible for any man to make me believe, that the Western states will remain, or can remain, for ten years, at the ut-
Separated from the inhabited part of the Eastern (or, speaking more properly, perhaps, the Atlantic states) by an almost impassable wilderness of almost four hundred miles across; having their outlet to the sea by a channel no where communicating with the Atlantic states; pursuing the same sort of traffic as the Atlantic states and driving a trade to the same markets; under these circumstances, the Western states must necessarily be rivals of the Atlantic states, and the two sets of states must feel, with respect to each other, as rivals for gain generally feel. And, to check the effects of this feeling, there is wanting in America that attachment to country, which sometimes operates so powerfully in other parts of the world, and which has its foundation in circumstances of which a native American has no practical idea. Mr. Burr may fail; but, I am not the man to say he will fail; and, if he does, some other man will not: at any rate, the separation must take place and when it does take place, it will astonish me if that which is now called the federal government should long remain in existence. The remarks, above alluded to, in the Courier, are as follows:—news having been received from Charleston, that some English goods had been seized, in virtue of the non-importation act, a deputation of American merchants waited, the other day, upon lord Grenville to know how they should act, who told them that the restraints, whatever they might be, would not be of long duration; whence the Courier concludes, that our ministers have given up the point.—Whereupon, just as if the fact was notorious, the sagacious editor thus gravely proceeds: "WE" (for they always speak in the royal style) "do not desire war with America, but we as little desire to see that system of concession to America continued, which has been adopted since the new ministers came into power. What right has America to expect concessions from us? Have we received any peculiar favor at her hands? Concessions must be as injurious to our commerce as to our national character. But, we confess, we are not without our apprehensions; the ministers having shown themselves as incompetent to conduct a negotiation, as to carry on war with vigor and decision." The modesty of this last remark, coming from a partisan of the Pitts, must strike every one! What opportunities have the ministers had to carry on the war with vigor and decision? The Pitts carried it on with vigor and decision, indeed, the year before! Who could the ministers get at to make war upon, except the Threshers in Ireland, upon whom, indeed, the Pitts would have made vigorous war long enough ago? The novelty of this writer's remarks, with regard to concessions, must amuse every one who read the Register of the 20th of December; but, to the truth, which he did me the honor to borrow from me, he has added matter of his own of a directly contrary description.
The present ministers have made no concessions to the American states; and none, I hope, they will make. The concessions were all made by the Pitts and the Addingtons, while these latter were under the absolute control of the former. It was they who gave up, in the meanest manner, the point so solemnly settled by the treaty of 1794. That concession not only drew from us about three millions in taxes, as will appear from the accounts laid before parliament, but it encouraged the Americans to demand further and still more dangerous concessions now. Had it not been for those concessions, the concessions now dreaded by the enlightened and public spirited editor of the Courier never would have been dreamed of on either side of the Atlantic. This wise man talks about injury to our commerce from the concessions, which, in the tone of the ignorant speech attributed to Mr. Perceval, he affects to dread; but, supposing the concessions to take place, they would not at all injure our commerce, which consists of buying and selling goods. It is our fleets that they would injure; our naval power; our means of injuring our enemy; and, of course, our means of defending ourselves; all which might be reduced to nothing, and our commerce be still as flourishing as ever. As to the practicability, however, of injuring even this commerce by the means of a non-importation act in America, the intelligence which I have received, and which comes down so late as the 2d of December, fully warrants all that I forefearsaid upon the subject, and the sum total of which was, that, to carry such an act into execution, and to adhere to it for any length of time, was impossible. It is said, that some English goods have, in virtue of the act, been seized at Charleston. But, at Philadelphia and New York, if my intelligence be correct, there was no interruption at all to importation; and, so far as any one expects that the act would be enforced, that very few importers had thought it prudent to order any additional supply in consequence of it. That the act may be partially executed; that a blustering appearance of resolution may be exhibited for some weeks, or for some months, is possible; but, that it should be continued in force, or that it should be at all, in any port, obeyed as a law ought to be obeyed, is, I again assert, impossible. It was a hasty effusion of vanity and ignorance. A sort of trick to try us. And, in the mind of some few persons, amongst whom we may number the president, perhaps, it proceeded from philosophical notions, very good in themselves, but for the acting upon which the Americans are much too far gone in a contempt for every thing not tending to the accumulation of riches. It was upon the ground of opinions like these, I hope, that lord Grenville gave the answer ascribed to him; that he told the American merchants, that the restraints could not be of long duration; and not upon the ground of concessions that he had made, or was about to make; for, if he make such concessions as are affected to be apprehended by the speech ascribed to Mr. Perceval, they, indeed, will he worthy of every epithet descriptive of baseness and apostasy in their most odious character and degree. I do not, however, believe, that he will so act. To concede a trifling point as to a particular vessel or two, seized under peculiar circumstances, and where the seizures may even appear to militate against the conceding regulations of the Pitts and Addingtons, I, for my part, should have no objection; but, to give up our right, or, in the least, to relax in the assertion and exercise of our right, to search neutral vessels, and therein to seize the property of our enemies, however covered, and wherever coming from, would sink my lord Grenville ten million of fathoms below even Pitt himself. In the possession of this right; not in the mere formal claim & recognition of it, but in the substantial possession of it; in the unrelaxed exercise of it towards all nations without exception—it is in this that consists our maritime superiority. Without this right that superiority could not exist for two years; and this is a fact well known to our implacable and well-counselled enemy. Concessions to the American states must, and would be followed by similar concessions to other powers; and, I must confess, that, if such concessions were made, I should regard the overthrow of the present government of this country as certain. This being my opinion, I feel as anxious, I trust, and a little more so, upon the subject, than the author of the speech ascribed to Mr. Perceval, who, if he were well to examine his heart, would, I am afraid, find little else than a love of place and of pelf at the bottom of it; but, I cannot say, that I partake much in his apprehensions, especially when I find them founded upon what the
ministers have done in the way of conceding to America, alluding to what was no concession at all, but a measure of great advantage to both countries, without creating the possibility of producing in time an injury to either, though the contrary was asserted in a speech of the Master of the Rolls, which, under the guise of legal gravity, exhibited more ignorance in statement and more sophistry in reasoning, than any speech that I remember ever to have read.
LONDON, February 5.
BLOCKADING DECREE.
Yesterday in the House of Commons, Mr. Perceval moved for a copy of the late Order of Council, prohibiting neutrals from passing from one enemy's port to another. He supported his motion by an able speech and was followed on the same side by Lord Castlereagh and Sir Thomas Tutton, and opposed by the Advocate General, by Lord Temple and Lord Howick. The motion was negatived by a great majority. The object of the mover appeared to be to show that the order was not such as the spirit, honor, interests and rights of the country called for. It was admitted on all hands that the British nation had a right to retaliate in full on the French for their decree; that the decree was indefensible on every ground; but it was contended that it might be for the interest of the British government, to forbear at least for a time; and that forbearance would indicate a conciliatory disposition towards neutrals, although they would have no just cause to complain of a different course as certainly if they submitted without resistance, to an extraordinary measure from one belligerent, they would naturally expect another belligerent to adopt the same measure when not forbidden by treaty. The following are extracts from different speeches.
From Mr. Perceval's Speech.
"The colonial trade was certainly that in which neutrals had the least right; and while he disclaimed every intention of glancing at the Provisions of the American treaty, he could not help remarking that the right of retaliation for such measures as may be adopted by the enemy, which the Noble Lord, stated to be expressly reserved in that treaty, was of no use when it was not acted upon. Perhaps his Majesty's ministers were fearful of offending neutrals, and forbore to act to the full extent, till they should have communication with them. Without notification to neutrals, we may prohibit their ships from proceeding to enemy's ports, but we may not seize them. He trusted government had not acted so weakly, upon the fear of offending neutrals; it was a motive of action which they could not avow. But when they negotiate with America, with the non-importation act hanging over their heads; when they continued negotiating after that insulting act was carried into execution, and when they concluded a treaty under such circumstances, whatever they profess, he feared they may have been guilty of improper concessions."
From the Advocate General's Speech.
"Were we to press and crush unoffending merchants, by the actual execution of severities to the utmost extent of the enemy's menace? He believed that the house would not go with his honorable friend so far, but would rather prefer mild and moderate measures at first if like to be efficacious. The only powers that were neutral were Austria, which had only the single port of Trieste; Denmark, which has no means of supplying its colonies, or of disposing of its colonial produce, if we carried a general interdict into execution;—Portugal which would feel the same disabilities; and America, with respect to which an interdict would be the means of infinite distrust. He could discover that a jealousy of America was at the bottom of all these complaints. (Hear! Hear!)—His honorable and learned friend (Perceval) was not correct in stating that the interruption of the coasting trade would be no great injury to France, or that the order of council for that purpose signified nothing. That order was but one step and an important step of those that would, if necessary, be resorted to for retaliation. In the year 1797, after the French had made peace with Austria, and the army which had been arrogantly called the army of England, had been collected at Brest, with a view to turn their whole force against this country; in that year, on the 29th Nivose, year 6, that is, in christian language, on the 19th day of January, 1798, a decree was passed by the French government, making all vessels that should be freighted in whole or in part with English commo-
dities, good prizes. In order to shew what had been the feeling of the neutral nations on the subject of that decree, he need only refer to the speech of the president of the U. S. on the opening of the session of congress, on the 8th of Dec. 1798, in which he declared, that "as the decree of the 19th of the preceding January, was still in force, in consequence of the failure of an attempt to procure its repeal, he considered it an unequivocal act of war, and a breach of the independence and sovereignty of neutral nations, which was only to be met by a determined resistance." As the chief magistrate of America had expressed so strong a sense of the aggression in that instance, there was no ground to suppose that he would not act as decidedly on the present occasion. And this was another consideration why this country ought to abstain, for the present, from any act which might prove grievous to the trade of America, until it should be seen whether the American government would follow the same course now as in '98."
From Lord Castlereagh's Speech.
"As to the period of our history, which has been alluded to, he should presently shew that the time of the American government had been wasted in negotiations. Whatever might be the feelings of government towards America, whatever might be the principles on which the late negotiations had been concluded, these were no reasons for delaying the adoption of more vigorous means of retaliation against the enemy. He contended that considerations of forbearance respecting America, should not induce the house to abstain from adopting, not an act of practical injustice, but the measures which the circumstances of the times required, namely, to warrant American vessels in the first instance, against entering French ports, but not to capture them, unless bent on entering the ports of France. If they were to wait till the American government should insist upon those principles, by which the laws of nations is upheld, they might wait till doomsday, as whatever might be their feelings, the commercial people would attend to their commercial interests. Since the publication of this decree, which had been at first general as to all nations, some communication had taken place between the American ministers in this country, and the French government, in consequence of which some practical relaxation of the decree had taken place. This was one ground why we should look upon America with jealousy; and it was an aggravation that she had, by a secret understanding with the French government, contrived to take her shipping out of the operation of the decree that was at first general and placed herself in a situation of convenience with the French government."
From Sir Thomas Tutton's Speech.
"In his mind, the real cause of this punilanimous forbearance, was the fear of offending America, the dread of breaking off the treaty lately pending between this country and the American government. That was the pistol held at the breast of ministers; and this their great anxiety to ward it off."
From Lord Howick's Speech.
"It seems that the gentlemen on the other side feel somewhat jealous of America because France may be disposed to exempt her from the operation of the decree. The thing is not unlikely; but no communication of the kind has been made ministers the American Plenipotentiaries. The words of the decree seem to apply to the continental powers only, and consequently America may be exempted. Suppose she is: would that be a reason why we should go to war with America? Is not this the intention of gentlemen, or what is it? But surely it must be a waste of the time of the house to dwell upon such arguments. The treaty of America they have also brought into discussion; and it has been insinuated, that it was contrary to the honor and interests of the country to enter into negotiation with America, until the non-importation act was repealed. If such disgrace was attached to the negotiation, why were not motions made last session to break off the negotiation, until that decree was repealed. Surely such a conduct would have been more manly, than now to assume a hostile tone, while we are daily expecting the ratification of the treaty we have concluded."

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, Feb. 19.
Debate on the resolution offered by Mr. Broom, to make further provision by law to secure the privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus to persons in custody under or by colour of the authority of the U. States.
[CONTINUED.]
Mr. GREGG (Penn.) Rose to move a postponement of the resolution indefinite. He thought the propriety of the motion must be by this time obvious to all. There was much important business to be done if the resolution was persisted in, and it must be all sacrificed. He perceived no necessity for pressing the subject now, as he had heard of no recent instance of refusing a habeas corpus. As soon as Mr. G. sat down,
Messrs. Varnum and Sloan both instant-ly seconded the motion to postpone.
Mr. NEWTON, (Va.) expressed his decided hostility to the motion of postponement. If ever there was a subject worthy of the consideration of the house, it was this. Every subject relative to liberty should be treated with respect by the votaries of liberty. If we can better the condition of our fellow citizens it is our duty to do it. The question is whether the constitution and laws are sufficient to protect the liberty of the people. I will not decide on the conduct of Wilkinson. If he has done wrong let him answer. I will say nothing of indemnity, for if it is announced that he is to be indemnified out of the public treasury, it will be an inducement with juries to give higher damages.
It is said that the quarter whence the resolution comes is suspicious. I am indeed somewhat suspicious of that class of men, and would say with Laocoon of Troy, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes. But I will examine whatever is offered, reject the bad and take the good. I will not do as they did when in power, forget the right of the minority. God forbid that we should ever imitate the bad example set us by our predecessors. I congratulate the mover of the resolution that he is at last re-suscitated from his long slumbering political death. I am glad of his illumination, and I render him my thanks for bringing forward this resolution and my support.
I like the amendment. The Supreme court after hearing the case five or six days, are still in doubt with regard to the extent of their jurisdiction. I wish to know what is the law, by whom we are to be tried and where.
Mr. SMILIE said he had been at first in favor of the resolution, but the subject, like many others had been spoiled by the mode of treating. He had observed before that it was the subject of all parties and all individuals; but instead of confining themselves to the merits of the question, the mover of the resolution & others who had followed him, had gone on to indulge themselves in invectives against the commander in chief. Mr. S. was sorry for this, because it might prejudice some persons.
Yesterday said Mr. S. a most extraordinary doctrine was advanced—that no circumstance could justify a violation of the constitution or the law. [Here Mr. J. Randolph explained. He said there might be circumstances to palliate if not to justify a violation of law. If the gentle-man from Massachusetts (Mr. Bidwell) had intended him (Mr. R.) in his observations he had widely misinterpreted him. Mr. R. Said he had spoken of a known, flagrant and acknowledged violation of the constitution. He would state a case. Suppose said he, that when the house were till the dawn of day balloting for a president a military commander had stepped in and said that we were all going to anarchy and the devil, and that the state could not be preserved except by military force, and undertaken to tell us what was the constitution and who should be the president.] Mr. S. proceeded. He said the explanation was satisfactory, he had misunderstood the gentleman from Virginia. There are cases and it will always be so, that a military commander must break the law. Mr. S. urged at some length that this was an improper time to consider the subject, and pledged himself to take it up the next session and to give it every attention.
Mr. J. RANDOLPH spoke at great length against a postponement. He said the motion would have an effect different from
what was contemplated by the mover; it would prolong the discussion. Every member was ready now to say aye or no on the resolution, and the motion to postpone would give all a right to speak twice more on the subject.
Mr. R. was sorry for the declaration of Mr. Smilie, that he should vote in favor of a postponement. He understood that gentleman to be in favor of the measure and how could he reconcile a vote to postpone. Can he point out any difference between negating the resolution and postponing it indefinitely? This kind of postponement is only a method of quieting tender consciences; it has been invented to gain the votes of those who had not the courage to put a manly negative to a bill. The essence of both is the same.—Suppose a motion were made to postpone indefinitely the petitions of Stephen Sayre or, I don't recollect the name (a member suggested Oliver Pollock) Oliver Pollock or any other of those persons who hang upon us session after session; would not the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. S.) consider it equivalent to a proposition to put an absolute negative? The fact is there is no difference between an indefinite postponement and a negative, and were I an enemy to the resolution on the table, I would vote against the postponement and then negative it openly and manfully. I hope these gentlemen who are opposed to the resolution will have the candor to vote against a postponement. This motion gives members an opportunity to reject the resolution without appearing to be the open enemies of a measure to secure the right of the citizen; for when they go home and their constituents ask them: Well, what have you done with regard to the habeas corpus resolution? Have you rejected it? Oh! No. We have only postponed it. This motion gives a loophole for dishonest members to cheat their constituents.
In reply to some observations of Mr. Bidwell on what Mr. R. had before said relative to the conduct of Chatham and Camden in the case of the proclamation issued to prohibit the exportation of corn, Mr. R. said he merely referred to the case, to show that when the known and acknowledged friends of liberty, intoxicated with power and popularity, quit the true ground, they must expect the cannon of their own battery to be turned against themselves.
In reply to Mr. G. W. Campbell Mr. R. said he was sorry to trouble the house with idle declamation that served only to answer itself. It was however endured at least with the properties of an echo and served as a sufficient reply to the observations of certain gentlemen. From time immemorial a dispute existed between wit and dulness, imagination and judgment, and though some sceptical philosophers have presumed to doubt whether they are always separated, yet the opinion of their incompatibility has prevailed so long that there is not a coxcomb who does not on the strength of his dulness arrogate judgment.
Mr. R. said it was generally his misfortune to come to the house unprepared, and that therefore when he got up to speak he was obliged to say what came first into his head.
Gentlemen give us no opinion and yet they throw out very broad hints. The cases of captains Little and Murray have been cited in support of Wilkinson. Mr. R. considered the cases at some length and insisted that there was no analogy between them, because captains Little and Murray had only obeyed their commanding officer. This case does not therefore apply unless Wilkinson had the orders of the executive to conduct himself as he has done. And is the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Bidwell) preparing the house to receive instructions to the commander in chief? I hope not; I believe not; though my belief is taken up much at random. But will the gentleman (Mr. B.) say, if the conduct of capt. Little and Murray was palliated or justified that therefore no blame ought to be attached to the executive who issued those orders?
This whole business is the most unfortunate could well have happened. If Louisiana had been conquered by arms, the prejudices of the people could not have been stronger against us than these events are calculated to excite. They will lay the foundation of lasting feuds and animosities unless timely healed by a wise and prudent course of conduct. I will give my opinion here; I would not give it elsewhere; for I am no man's confidential friend in political affairs. I would instantly recal every officer who has been in any wise concerned in fomenting the disturbances at New Orleans. It will hardly be supposed that I could expect to be any
one's successor there, or that my recommendation would avail to procure an office for any of my friends. I would recal every officer who has participated or who has been even suspected to participate in the petty divisions of that country. I would rub out and begin anew.
The people of New Orleans speaking the French language were told that on their transfer to this country they should taste the sweets of liberty; that letters de cachet were done away and they were to hear no more of confinement in the tower of Se-govia; yet unfortunately among these people the first lesson of military authority is taught. This will not attach them to the United States, and it will prevent every man of reputation and who values his own character from emigrating to that country so as to dissolve the French population.
Suppose such a thing had happened in my or your (the speaker's) country, the spirit of the people would have settled the business before now. Mr. R. then stated that in a county in Virginia, which composed a part of the district which he represented, a man in 1798 peaceably enlisting troops for congress, had to leave the country, on account of the general indignation which prevailed against the army.—Such was the spirit of '98 and now we are vindicating military authority. Will any man tell the cause of this change? Mr. R. said he was at a loss. (Mr. Randolph's Speech to be continued)

SATURDAY, MARCH 28.
On the evening of January 12th, a vessel lying in the Rapenburgh canal, near Leyden (Germany) having on board ten thousand pounds gun-powder, blew up; several hundred of people lost their lives, and chief part of the buildings in the city were thrown down.
Leyden, next to Amsterdam, is the largest city in Holland. It is walled, has eight gates, and 145 bridges, the greatest part of which are built of freestone.
The principal church is a superb structure, whose high roof is supported by three rows of columns; and the rest of the public buildings are very hands me.
There are several large hospitals and a university. The theatre for anatomy is the finest in Europe.
Here are manufactories of the best cloths and stuffs in Holland, there being no less than 1600 workmen employed in them.
Leyden is famous for the long siege it sustained in 1573 against the Spaniards.
The city is four miles and a half in circumference; and is twenty miles s.w. of Amsterdam.
From the Philadelphia Daily Advertiser.
Mr. Poulson,
IT IS individual excellence which in the aggregate, gives the tone to national character, and every tribute of praise paid to a fellow citizen must be pleasing to our national pride.
Our medical schools have arrived to a degree of perfection perhaps equal or superior to any in the world, owing to the genius of their professors.
It is with a great degree of pleasure I have learned that a gold medal has been sent by the Queen of Eutruria, accompanied with a highly complimentary letter, to Dr. Benjamin Rush, professor of the institutes of medicine & clinical practice in the University of Pennsylvania after the perusal of his works.
On the one side of this medal is a likeness of the Queen of Eutruria, holding by the hand her infant son, and on the reverse these words, "TO THE MOST DESERVING."
This information cannot fail of being highly gratifying to the numerous pupils of this worthy and ingenious father in medicine. The simplicity yet profundity of whose medical tenets have so greatly assisted in laying the basis of their professional knowledge and of their skill in its application to practice. K.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
Of the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia.
Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickening of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, 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. Moulder 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 place 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 other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of 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; on 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 affection, 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.
