PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northum- berland court house, in the county of Nor- thumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court- house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is under- stood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water car- riage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Ba- ltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Wash- ington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable. The premises will be shewn to persons in- clining to purchase, by Col.

Doctor J. J. Cemyn,
A professional DENTIST—of Baltimore, RESPECTFULLY acquaints the LADIES and GENTLEMEN of Alexandria, that he intends to practice in this place for a few days, in all the various branches of his pro- fession. No genteel person of either sex can give or receive pleasure or comfort, by teeth coated with tartar or decayed gums, or fætid breath. His method of cleaning the teeth will be found both easy and efficacious, as hundreds can attest in Baltimore and else- where. Without giving pain, or hurting the enamel, he removes the tartar, &c. when the teeth will assume a beautiful appearance the gums adhering to the teeth; but if the state of the gums require it, doctor C. will give to the person an antiscorbutic lotion of chem- ical preparation, which gained the applause of hundreds both in Europe and America.— It is pleasant, innocent, and effectual, in smoothing and whitening the teeth and cur- ing the gums, rendering them red and firm, preventing the decay of the teeth and sweet- ening the breath. Doct. C. fits artificial teeth from one to an entire set, with such nicety, to answer the useful purposes of nature, and of so natural an appearance that it is impos- sible to distinguish them from real ones. Dr. C. flatters himself from his being regularly bred to the practice of physick, as well as to the Dentist Business, and his long experience on a continent of Europe (France and Spain) to give to all those who favour him with their commands, every possible satisfaction. May 13. d
N. B. Doctor C. will wait on any lady or gentleman at their respective houses, or may be consulted at the City Tavern.

LONDON, April 27.
Substance of the Treaty of Commerce between the courts of France and Persia, signed in January, 1809.
When French merchants, or other French subjects, arrive either in the harbors or on the frontiers of Persia, no violence shall be offered them by the governors or magistrates of the country, who shall, on the contrary, send them help and assistance in time of need.
If the French consul-general proposes to fix his residence at Ispahan, crown land shall be hired for him, that he may build a house upon it. The same with regard to other French merchants who may be likewise inclined; when they wish to remove, the authority of the country shall take care of their property, and restore the same to them the moment they claim it.
The French ambassadors shall be treated with all honors due to the first of Christian monarchs; and the consuls, envoys, and French merchants, shall take precedence above those of all other nations.
When French merchants export or import merchandise, they shall pay duty according to a fair valuation of the goods, at the time being, and be allowed to pay the same either in specie or commodity.
No duty shall be levied on French servants of French merchants settled in Persia, either French, Americans, or Indians, until they amount to twenty; nor shall any duty be exacted on their dragomans, or interpreters of the country.
Governors shall give assistance to ships that may be wrecked, and cause the expense to be paid them accordingly; but they shall not under any pretence, retain any articles belonging to the ship they may happen to have saved from the sea.
During the space of three years from the date of the treaty, Frenchmen shall pay no duty (custom house.) The same with respect to Persian merchants in France.
French merchants shall only once pay duty in Persia, for whatever merchandise they may import or export. The rate is three per cent. Persian gentlemen shall enjoy the same privilege in France. Goods imported or exported by the way of Bagdad, to pay duty as at Ispahan.
Consuls shall be permitted to build a church contiguous to their residence, and to display the French colors on the tops of their houses—at sea-ports only.
In case a French merchant should experience a reverse of fortune without having given security to any body, no other Frenchman shall be called upon to discharge his debts; but in the case of security being given, the same shall be executed.
When agreements are entered into between French, Persian, and merchants of other countries, respecting partnerships and insurances, such agreement must be submitted to the judge of the country, or to the French consul, and a copy of the same to be lodged with the latter, that it may be resorted to according to circumstances.
When a French slave shall fall into the hands of Persian subjects, and not having become a Musulman, signifies to the French consul that he demands his protection, no opposition shall be made to his being given up on paying for his ransom the sum that he had cost originally.
With respect to the effects and goods belonging to Persian subjects embarked at the Persian ports on board of Turkish ships, market vessels bound to the Indies or elsewhere, or loaded with India commodities for the return, if during their double voyage the French vessels should have any difference with the above mentioned countries, and that their vessels should fall into their power, and that there should be found on board merchandise, the whole of their goods and effects shall be restored.
It having been agreed upon between the agents of the Court of France and that of Persia, that the Island of Bareck shall be given to the former, there to establish a factory, immediately after the evacuation of Georgia and all other Persian provinces by the Russians.
If French merchants happen to be pilaged by robbers, governors shall make enquiries, so as to seize the banditti, and restore the goods to the owners, who shall have to recompense the trouble to that effect.
When a French merchant fails, the remainder of his property shall be divided amongst his creditors, according to their respective and individual claims.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, May 29.
DEBATE.
On Mr. Randolph's motion for approving the late conduct of the president of the U. States.
[CONTINUED.]
MR. JOHNSON said, that at this extra session he had fondly hoped he should have it his power to be a silent member; but he regretted that duty compelled him to address the speaker at this late hour of the day, when all must be fatigued, and upon a subject that had involved a discussion unpleasant, unprofitable and even mischievous. The executive in his communication to us (said Mr. J.) has avoided detail upon the subject of the expected negotiation in the late settlement of our differences, and we should avoid it as much as possible.—But this motion has been introduced for the laudable purpose of discovering the difference of opinion in this place upon the late transactions respecting our foreign relations with Great Britain, by the settlement of the affair of the Chesapeake, and the renewal of commercial intercourse. The gentleman from Virginia believes there are men in this house who disapprove the conduct of the president. I disbelieve it, because I have no evidence of it. I have heard in this body and out of doors universal approbation. The prospect of peace has been hailed as a political jubilee. No difference does exist upon the subject. But, sir, there is a diversity of sentiment or expectation how the promised negotiation with Great Britain will ultimate. Some are more, and others less sanguine. And when we consult the volume of experience, and recollect the many important subjects of settlement, it is not wonderful if we should have our fears and our hopes on the subject in different degrees. Let us hope for good, but be prepared for evil, that a reverse of the prospect may not change excessive joy into deep mourning.
The mover of this resolution has attempted to draw a line of distinction between the late and the present administration, in respect to our foreign relations. The two administrations, so far as Mr. Madison has progressed, are the same in principle, and the same in conduct, animated by the same spirit of moderation, firmness and justice towards other nations. But the mover of this motion says the propositions under the two administrations were different, and that the late adjustment is more advantageous to Great Britain. The propositions made by Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison were the same. In the first instance they were rejected by Mr. Canning with a sneering contempt, unworthy a great man. The proposition in each case was this: Rescind your orders in council, and we will suspend the laws interdicting the commercial intercourse between the two nations. Upon what principle did Mr. Canning reject this offer? Because Bonaparte had blockaded the continent, and he was determined that the present and future generations should see that Great Britain would never relinquish her orders in council until the policy of Bonaparte should be abandoned; that the honor and the power of the British government rested in some good degree upon it. But now the same propositions have been accepted, although the continent is more completely blockaded than when the same proposition had been rejected—for even Spain and Portugal, upon which British hopes rested, are now closed. Those who opposed the wise measures of our government may say, to shield themselves, that we have yielded. We have not yielded. Great Britain has abandoned her unjust system of restriction upon our commerce; and the United States stand redeemed from any charge of inconsistency. It will be a difficult task to convince the enlightened citizens of the United States that there has been a difference in the conduct of the present and the late illustrious President. So far from the shadow of proof that such a difference does exist, the very act of the present chief magistrate grew out of the law of Congress passed under Mr. Jefferson's administration. This law gave certain powers and imposed certain duties to be exercised and performed upon certain and defined contingencies. Upon the happening of those contingencies, viz. the rescinding the orders in council, &c. Mr. Madison promptly performed his duty by suspending our non-intercourse system as to Great Britain, for the renewal of our commerce. Who is so sagacious in the powers of discrimination as to draw a line of distinction, when the conduct of the administrations are so united and identified, that
the act of one grew out of the law of the other? But the measures of our government which have produced such happy results are likely to be popular; and it is necessary for those who thought we took too high ground to secure a retreat in their defeat, by endeavoring to draw this fine distinction.
[Mr. Johnston's Speech to be continued.]
DOCUMENTS
Accompanying the message of the President of the 15th inst.
Mr. Canning to Mr. Pinkney. FOREIGN OFFICE, Dec. 24, 1808.
SIR, In my official note of the 23d Sept. I stated to you the probability that some alterations might be made in the orders in council, with a view to adapt their operation more exactly to the altered state of Europe and to combine all practicable relief to neutrals with a more severe pressure upon the enemy.
As this statement was however only tentative, and as I at the same time disclaimed any intention of taking advantage of proposed alterations in the discussions pending between us—seeing that if made they would not be founded on the admission of the principles for which you were contending, it was perhaps not necessary that I should trouble you with any further communication upon this subject. But the order of which I have the honor to enclose a copy having been passed by his majesty's council on Wednesday last, I am desirous previous to its actual publication, of explaining to you the grounds on which the more extended alterations, which were in contemplation, have been suspended.
It was intended to relax in a certain degree the regulations of the orders in council with respect to such of the powers in hostility with his majesty as were not, or should not place themselves in a state of hostility with Spain; but at the same time that this relaxation was extended to other powers prohibited absolutely, by strict, rigorous and unmitigated blockade, all intercourse whatever with France.
The adoption by these powers, who have been the objects of such relaxation of the views and projects of France with respect to Spain, does away all assigned ground of distinction between France and those powers; and that part, therefore, of the intended alterations does not take place.
The alterations contained in the enclosed orders in council stand upon a separate ground, and, as I have more than once understood from you that the part of the orders in council which this order goes to investigate, is that which was felt most sore by the U. S. I have great pleasure in being authorized to communicate it to you.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) GEORGE CANNING William Pinkney, esq.
"His majesty in virtue of the powers served to him by two certain acts passed the 48th year of his majesty's reign, the one entitled "an act for granting to his majesty until the end of the next session of parliament, duties of customs on the goods, wares and merchandise therein enumerated, furtherance of the provisions of certain orders in council;" the other entitled "an act for granting to his majesty, until the end of the next session of parliament, certain duties on the exportation from Ireland, of goods, wares and merchandise therein enumerated," is pleased, by and with the advice of his privy council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the operation of the aforesaid acts be suspended as to any duties on exportation, granted by the said acts, so far as relates to articles, being the growth, produce or manufacture of any country, for the time being, in amity with his majesty, from the ports of which the British flag is not excluded, imported direct from such country into any port or place of the united kingdom, either in British ships, or in ships of the country of which such articles are of growth, produce or manufacture.
"And his majesty is further pleased, with the advice aforesaid, to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the said duties on exportation be suspended, as to all goods, wares and merchandise, which have been, or may be condemned as prize until further order be made therein."

Mr. Pinkney to Mr. Canning. GREAT CUMBERLAND PLACE, December 23, 1808.
SIR, I HAVE had the honor to receive your letter of the 24th instant, communicating an order passed by his majesty in council on Wednesday last, and have trans-

copies of these papers to my government. It is perfectly true, as the concluding paragraph of your letter supposes me to believe, that the United States have viewed with great sensibility the pretension of this government (which as a pretension, the present order plainly re-asserts, without much, if at all, modifying its practical effect) to levy imposts upon their commerce outward and inward, which the orders in council of last year were to constrain to pass through British ports.
But it is equally true, that my government has constantly protested against the entire system, with which that pretension was connected, and has in consequence, required the repeal, not the modification, of the British orders in council.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) WM. PINKNEY. Mr. CANNING.
Mr. Pinkney, minister plenipotentiary of the United States at London, to the secretary of state.
(EXTRACTS.) "LONDON, March 10th, 1809."
"I have received from Mr. Canning a notification of blockade, of which a copy is enclosed."
THE undersigned his majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs has received his majesty's command to acquaint Mr. Pinkney, that his majesty has judged it expedient to establish the most rigorous blockade of the isles of Mauritius and Bourbon; Mr. Pinkney is therefore requested to apprise the American consuls and merchants resident in England, that the isles above-mentioned are and must be considered as being in a state of blockade, and that from this time all the measures authorised by the law of nations and the respective treaties between his majesty and the different neutral powers will be adopted and executed with respect to all vessels attempting to violate the said blockade after this notice.
The undersigned requests Mr. Pinkney to accept the assurances of his high consideration.

"I had the honor to receive on the 25th of March the letter of your predecessor of the 10th of February; and on the 15th of last month Lieut. Reed delivered to me your letter of the 15th March."
"Upon the receipt of your letter of the 15th of March, it became my obvious duty to ask a conference with Mr. Canning. It took place accordingly on Monday the 17th of April."
"At the close of the conference he told me that my communications were such as would require reflection, and would naturally make him anxious to see me again; and that he would fix as early a day as possible and give me notice."
Our next interview took place on the 27th of April."
"Mr. Canning read the new order in council, and then proceeded very briefly to suggest the practical alterations which it would introduce."
"I thought I should best discharge my duty by forbearing useless discussion, and by receiving, as it was offered, but without making myself a party to it, an actual improvement, capable of future extension under the auspices of just and friendly sentiments and enlightened policy."

FOREIGN OFFICE, April 30th, 1809. SIR,
When I had the honor to transmit to you on the 24th of December last, the orders in council passed on the 21st of that month, I referred to that passage of my official note of the 23d of September 1808, in which I stated to you, that "It is not improbable indeed that some alterations may be made in the orders in council, as they are at present framed; alterations calculated not to abate their spirit or impair their principle, but to adapt more exactly to the different state of things which has fortu-
explained in my official note of September 23d, is fully carried into execution.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) GEORGE CANNING.
WILLIAM PINKNEY, Esq. [For the Order in Council see the Alexandria Gazette of Monday last.]
(COPY.) Washington, June 15, 1809.
SIR, I have the honor to enclose a copy of an order of his majesty in council, issued on the 26th of April last.
In consequence of official communications sent to me from his majesty's government since the adoption of that measure, I am enabled to assure you that it has no connexion whatever with the overtures which I have been authorised to make to the government of the U. States, and that I am persuaded that the terms of the agreement so happily concluded by the recent negotiation, will be strictly fulfilled on the part of his majesty.
The internal evidence of the order itself, would fully justify the foregoing construction, and moreover it will not have escaped your notice that the repeal hath not thereby been made of the orders of the 7th Jan. 1807, which, according to the engagement I have entered into on the part of his majesty, is to be abrogated with the other orders, in consequence of the adjustment of differences between the two countries and the confidence entertained of a further conciliatory understanding.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) D. M. ERSKINE.

(COPY.) DEPARTMENT OF STATE, June 15th, 1809.
SIR, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of this day, communicating the order in council, issued by his majesty on the 26th of April last.
However well persuaded the president may at all times have been, that the arrangement so happily effected by the late negotiation would be strictly fulfilled on the part of his majesty, he has nevertheless received with satisfaction your renewed assurance to that effect, with the further assurance, founded on official communications to you from your government since the adoption of the order in council of the 26th of April, that that order was not intended to have any connexion whatever with the overtures which you had been authorised to make to the government of the U. S.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) R. SMITH.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
SATURDAY, June 17. [Taken for the Alexandria Gazette.]
Yesterday Mr. Randolph's motion requiring the personal attendance of the secretary of the treasury was rejected—ayes 41, noes 83.
[The house took up the report of the committee of the whole; and a motion made by Mr. Dana that it lie on the table was lost, when he proposed an amendment and the house adjourned.]
A petition from manufacturers of salt in Massachusetts, with a similar prayer to those already before the house, was presented and referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Sheffy laid on the table a resolution to appoint a committee to bring in a bill authorising the President to appoint commissioners to try and determine the dispute between the United States and the persons claiming the Batteure, in Orleans territory.
On motion of Mr. Love the committee on the district of Columbia were discharged from the further consideration of the petition of the president and directors of the bank of Alexandria, with a view to its reference to the secretary of the treasury, to whom was submitted a petition of the president and directors of the bank of Potomac.
It was referred to the secretary of the treasury with instructions to report thereon. Mr. Dana submitted a resolution (connected with the finance bill) calling on the secretary of the treasury for information touching the powers of the commissioners of the sinking fund.
After agreeing to consider the resolution, a motion was made by Mr. Ross, that it lie on the table, (as it might tend to impede the progress of the bill) which was lost—ayes 51, nays 56, when the question recurred on the original resolution and was carried—ayes 65, nays 46.
On motion of Mr. Eppes the house took up the unfinished business of yesterday, the Finance bill, ayes 61, nays 45. Mr. Dana's amendment under consideration.
[Its intention is to limit the commissioners of the sinking fund in the power given them by the bill, till there is not money enough in the treasury to discharge the pledged eight millions of dollars of the national debt, and indeed this is the principle of opposition to the bill.]
After some debate this amendment was lost—ayes 47, nays 74.
When on motion the bill was engrossed for a third reading on Monday, without amendment.
A communication was read from the secretary of war transmitting an account of contracts.
And the house adjourned.
PHILADELPHIA, June 15.
On Monday last was boarded off New-Castle and detained for a supposed breach of our laws the ship Mary-Ann, captain Charles Foster, of London, with a cargo of merchandise. This is the ship some time since mentioned to have arrived at Havana, but finding the duties extravagant and hearing of the accommodation of the differences between England and the United States, she sailed for this port; but when she arrived off the capes and took a pilot on board, the captain understanding that she would not be permitted to enter until after the 10th inst. stood off to sea, where she remained till the 10th, when she entered, and on her arrival off New-Castle, was put under seizure by the cutter, as is supposed, for entering our waters before the 10th.
This vessel while lying too off our Capes was run foul of by the ship Three Sisters, captain Humburg, from this port for Cadiz, in the night, being out six hours, which ship immediately returned to New-Castle, with the loss of capt. Humburg. It was, till the arrival of this ship, hoped that the captain in the general confusion had got on board the Mary-Ann, but even that hope is now at an end, and no doubt remains but capt. Humburg has met a watry grave.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Wayne County, dated May 16.
"I was informed a few days past, that in the neighborhood of Col. Newell's, (a citizen of Wayne county) that in a large cave not far from his house, was found an Indian, wrapped up in straw. At what time he was there deposited, it cannot be ascertained—But the Indian appeared to be entirely uncorrupted. He had his natural appearance—his flesh had in a great measure dwindled away—his skin appeared almost to cleave to the bone, and to feel hard and firm; which must have been so preserved, either by the due and equal temperature of the subterraneous air, or by some means of embalming and preserving their dead bodies. He was found by a party in pursuit of a Salt-Petre Cave."

Valuable Property for Sale.
Pursuant to a deed of trust made by ELISHA JANNEY to the subscriber for the benefit of his creditors, will be exposed to public sale, before the tavern door of Zachariah Ward, in the town of Occoquan, at twelve o'clock, on FRIDAY, the twenty-first of next month—
That valuable MILL-SEAT,
the property of the said Janney, situate in the said town of Occoquan. On this site was erected, about ten years ago, a spacious three story brick mill house, which ever since has been occupied as a manufacturing mill until about five weeks ago it was destroyed by fire: the stone work of the mill and a considerable part of the brick work still stands and would be found sufficiently substantial to erect new work upon it—considerable part of the iron work would also answer for a new mill, which might with these aids be erected in time to grind the growing crop of wheat. The advantages appertaining to this valuable property which in the driest season never wants water, are so generally known as hardly to need a particular enumeration. Suffice it to state, that it is situated in a healthy and flourishing little town at the falls of Occoquan river, about 16 miles south of Alexandria, on the great stage road leading from north to south, in the heart of a fine wheat country, and has navigable tide water to the mill door where vessels may come of sufficient burthen to carry 400 to 500 barrels of flour.
ALSO, At the same time and place will be exposed to sale,
The TANYARD and the Improvement thereon, which are calculated for the carrying on the tanning business to advantage and on a large scale, together with the stock of Leather, &c. on hand.
ALSO, Will be exposed for sale, at the same time and place,
One undivided Moiety of a
Tract of Land, containing about 500 acres, situate on the north side of the Occoquan river, very valuable from the quantity of fine timber which it contains.
Terms of sale for the real property will be—Ten per cent. on the purchase money payable within 60 days by negotiable notes well endorsed—for the residue a credit will be given of one, two and three years on equal payments. A deed of trust upon the property to secure the payments will be required.
For further particulars, those who may desire to purchase will be pleased to apply to Mr. Nathaniel Ellicott, at Occoquan, or to the subscriber at Bush-Hill, near Alexandria.

USEFUL PROPERTIES
YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
THIS highly useful Machine is found by experience to excel any hitherto in use. It will wash as many cloaths (by the assistance of one person) in an hour as can be washed in a whole day, without the possibility of injuring, fretting or tearing the most delicate article, and with less than half the quantity of soap. It occupies very little more space than the common wash-tub, and with the least care will not create any slop or wet—the construction is very simple and attended with little expence. A further description of its qualities is now deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed none will purchase without examining it.
We the subscribers do hereby certify that we have found, on trial, the above named Machine to answer fully the above description. Given under our hands this 5th day of May, A. D. 1809.

It consists of Five and Twenty Hundred acres , lying on the waters of Bull and Little Rocky runs, in the counties of Fairfax and Prince William.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Who are affected with Coughs, Colds, Asthmas and Consumptions.
THERE is perhaps no medical observation better established, none more generally confirmed by the experience of the best physicians of all ages and countries, and none of more importance to the practitioner, than the fact, that many of the most difficult and incurable complaints originate in neglected COLDS . In a climate as variable as ours, where the changes of the weather, are frequently sudden and unexpected, it requires more care and attention, to guard against this subtle and dangerous enemy of life, than most people imagine, or are willing to bestow. Hence the vast number of patients afflicted with coughs, catarrhs, asthma and consumptions. The many cases of the kind which fell under my observation, the disappointment I experienced in practice, from remedies highly recommended, and my own pre-disposition to pulmonic complaints, were strong inducements for me to consider when ther a compound, consisting of mild vegetable substances could not be invented, more free from the well founded objections of practitioners, and better calculated to avert the threatening destruction of the lungs.
I have the satisfaction to offer to the public such a remedy, under the name of the VEGETABLE PULMONIC DETERGENT , well adapted to various constitutions and habits, and to declare with the fullest confidence that I found this composition far superior to others intended to answer the same purpose. I am perfectly satisfied, that practitioners, who have frequently to combat the effects of suppressed perspiration and do not neglect the use of the lancet and other evacuations, whenever they are indicated, will place this medicine on the list of their most favorite remedies; as it can in no case do harm. I will bid by this motto—
NO RELIEF NO PAY.
This motto may be deemed ostentatious by some, and amounting to a positiveness that the medicine will invariably effect a cure in any stage of a disease like a miracle; the proprietor is far from believing that this medicine will render mankind immortal; but he is fully sensible if taken seasonably, and according to the directions, it will either prevent or cure, and if unseasonably it will most sensibly alleviate distress and prolong life—and having no desire to profit by the confidence of the sick and afflicted, induces me to make the above overture; should the contrary appear in any instance, as in some it possibly may, the money for the medicine will be cheerfully refunded by the person who may vend the same.
GEORGE ROGERS.
N. B. The above named medicine is secured to the subscriber by letters patent from the President of the United States, and prepared at his Dispensary in Northampton, county of Hampshire and state of Massachusetts.
TO THE PUBLIC.
The great benefit which I have experienced from Rogers's Vegetable, &c. and a firm persuasion that it may afford relief of others, induce me to make every laudable exertion for its distribution.
For five years preceding the last of Dec. 1807, in consequence of taking a violent cold I had been afflicted with the Asthma, a disorder which I conceived to be hereditary, my father and grand-father both having greatly suffered from it. The disorder increasing rapidly upon me, in the spring of 1807, I consulted Dr. C. L. Seeger, but the urgency of his business prevented him from attending at that time, particularly to my case. My business made it necessary for me to leave home, and be absent the greatest part of summer, which deprived me of the able professional assistance of Dr. Seeger. In Sept. last, a severe cold brought on a violent cough, and the disorder assumed an aspect more serious and alarming than at any former period—I was extremely debilitated, emaciated and confined. Such was the irritability of my lungs, I was obliged to use the greatest caution in the act of respiration. After a free use of Rogers's Vegetable, &c. for about two months, I was perfectly relieved of the dreadful cough which had so long afflicted me, and completely cured of every symptom of the Asthma—In short, blessed be God, I have continued in sound health ever since.—As these facts may be important to those unfortunate individuals who are suffering from the same disorder, I have been thus particular in their detail. And I do not hesitate to declare my solemn conviction, both from my own experience and observing its effects upon others, that Rogers's V. P. D. is an easy, safe and effectual remedy for coughs and Asthmas, and is the greatest antidote to all pulmonic complaints that the world has ever witnessed.
Jacob W. Brewster.
Northampton, January, 1809.
THIS may certify, that about the first of October last, I was attacked with a violent cough, which proceeded, as was the opinion of my physician who is a man well approved of in his profession, from a bruise which I
received on my left side about a fortnight before. By his consent I tried Rogers's Pulmonic Detergent—I was very weak and low and took but half the quantity prescribed by his directions. In three days I was much relieved, and in eight days quite cured of the cough.
Moses Parsons, jun.
Northampton, Feb. 1809.
Northampton, Mass. Feb. 1809.
I James Heaton, also hereby certify, that in the fall of the year 1808, I was seized with a severe cold attended by an obstinate and distressing cough. The violence of my cough soon produced a pain in my side and breast, and frequent spitting of blood, in short, all the horrid symptoms of a consumption were rapidly assailing me. In this situation I was recommended to Dr. George Rogers, who rendered me immediate relief by administering his Vegetable Detergent. I have continued the use of it ever since, and for three months past, though not completely restored to health, I have been able constantly to attend to my business—and I fully believe that my partial restoration has been solely owing (under God) to this valuable medicine.
James Heaton.
To the Public.
IN consequence of taking a severe cold in May, 1808, I was seized with a violent pain in my side, attended with a distressing cough which, although I had the advice and prescriptions of a respectable physician, lasted me four weeks, without any alleviation. I then applied to Dr. George Rogers, who administered his Vegetable Pulmonic Detergent, which gave me immediate relief; and in ten days I was entirely freed from the pain in my side and cough.
Charles Chapman.
Northampton, March, 1809.
I, Elijah Norton, jun. of Westampton, Massachusetts, do certify, that in the last year I was attended with a great debility, weakness of the lungs, distressed for breath, and a violent cough, attended with a fever for a number of months: about the fifteenth of August I began the use of Dr. George Rogers's Vegetable Pulmonic Detergent. I kept in the use of it about three months, immediately after taking this medicine my cough abated, and I could breathe with more freedom. I would recommend the medicine from my own experience, to those who are troubled with a cough, and disorders of the lungs and breast, & consumptive complaints, and do believe it to be a valuable and useful medicine.
