FROM LONDON, Oct. 15—25.
The state of political affairs on the continent are become more interesting than ever. The three great powers, Russia and Austria on the one part—France on the other, have been transmitting thro' their envoys or ambassadors, declarations, memorials, notes, appeals, addresses, rescripts, replications, expositions, &c. during the last six weeks, each party (as will be seen by the extracts I shall lay before you hereafter) charging and accusing the other with breach of treaties, aggrandizement of territory, marching armies, &c. Each party seems very desirous to obtain the influence of the king of Prussia, to whom they severally appeal, but whose mind and inward intentions, though he has hitherto been neutral, neither side seems fully to know. One thing is certain, Russia and Austria seem so earnest in uniting against the common foe—they are severally marching large armies with all possible expedition towards the banks of the Rhine and the Adige, and France is doing the same, but the former seem to have been before hand with the latter, which has provoked the anger of Bonaparte, who vents his rage in public complaints against Russia and Austria, in obliging him to withdraw the army of the coast to another quarter, at the moment when they were aware he was going to strike England a fatal blow, which would have crushed her, and given freedom to the seas. Thus he makes a virtue of necessity: accordingly he has divided that army: large detachments are gone to Cologne, to Mentz, and to Strasburg, to which latter place the emperor Napoleon soon after set out himself, with his empress, where he arrived the 26th of September. Here he will occasionally hold his court, his councils, and superintend all military operations, and his subtle minister, Talleyrand, has since arrived there to join him. Before, however, Bonaparte left Paris, he sent a letter to the grand pensioner of Holland, at the Hague, to be on his guard, lest his troublesome rivals, the English, should attempt to land troops on that coast, to repel force by force. "They may land," says he, "but they will never re-embark."
The King of Prussia has not set still in the midst of these warlike preparations; he has held a council, given orders to all his military officers to repair without delay to their regiments, and to the post assigned them: his Journals tells us he has an army of 300,000 men, all equipped and ready to act as occasion may require; the same journals tell us he arms only to protect his own frontiers from violation intending to preserve as formerly a rigid neutrality; there are some who think his mind is changed with circumstances, and that should a war ensue, he will not continue a mere spectator; for my part, I think his will at this time is of such importance to the great powers above mentioned, he may be said to hold the keys of the Temple of Janus in his hands; and should he be the means of throwing open its doors, thousands and tens of thousands of swords will fly out of their scabbards, ready to shed the blood of the contending armies! Nevertheless, tho' the time exhibits of threats so sanguinary a nature, that the armies proposing to attack each other, are coming every hour nearer to each other, and prompt for action, it is even possible there will be no war, but that the whole of these warlike preparations, will prove the fore-runner of a general peace. God grant it may be so! —I think France will not dare to hazard a war. It is admitted France has a large army in Italy, and a still larger one on the Banks of the Rhine, which we learn by the last mail, Bonaparte has already crossed and penetrated into Germany with his usual rapidity, yet he knows that Russia and Austria have armies equal, if not superior already in the neighbourhood, and other reinforcements coming forward; that Russia has a fleet with troops on board sailing in the Baltic, in the Caspian Sea, and in the Bosphorus, to oppose him and his schemes. The principles which actuated the belligerent powers ten years ago are changed; it is no longer France contending for the liberty and equality of Frenchmen, it is now an Usurper at the head of the French government, seizing upon the territories of his neighbours, while he is pretending to negotiate for peace! levying contributions on countries at peace, and wishing to be at peace, and making them pay part of the expences of his war with England, with which they have no connection, and to gratify that degree of ambition which aims to overthrow all governments, and destroy that just preponderance of power on the continent, which can alone secure its tranquility. Russia, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, and even Prussia, are all from experience, understood to be of one mind on this point; and are more cordially uniting together, to resist this domineering spirit.
If it were possible to penetrate into the bosom of Bonaparte, discover the secret thoughts, and what passes there, I should not wonder if he inwardly rejoices at the excuse the confederated powers have furnished him with, for calling his army off the coast and marching them to another quarter, they have been doing nothing for two years, enduring attacks from a few English frigates running after his flotillas, while skulking under their own batteries, taking, sinking, or burning them, daring him, his army and flotillas, to come out and fight them! His great soul must have been weary of the fruitless scheme, yet he avails himself of the advantage of throwing all the blame on the princes for the miscarriage of the enterprise! as we have noticed already. But there is no good without its attendant ill: while Bonaparte may secretly rejoice at abandoning the invasion of England, his patience may undergo perhaps greater trials. The approaching contest compels him to raise a new army of 80,000 conscripts: how far his young French subjects will be willing to be dragged from their homes, their fathers, and mothers, to fight for the splendor only of his name, may become a serious trial to him; and he seems to think so himself, if we refer to the circular letter by Regnier the grand judge to the prefects of the departments, dated Sept. 25, 1805, in which he thus addresses the attorneys general of the courts of criminal justice: "The intrigues and the *gold of England, gentlemen, have at length prevailed. She has dragged two great powers into the war, one of which (Austria) is the more culpable towards France, as her throne shaken by the valor of our soldiers, has only stood through the moderation of the conquerors. The emperor himself marches in person to discount the projects of our enemies, and, under such a chief, seconded by such brave armies, victory cannot be doubtful: but we must all, by a common effort, magistrates, citizens, warriors, support with all our energy a monarch going to encounter new fatigues and dangers. The youth of France, so distinguished for valor, will croud to follow the steps of their emperor: yet, if any should be found among them yielding to a dastardly fear, or giving way to perfidious suggestions, should prefer infamy to honor, then they, their abettors and accomplices, may expect inevitable punishment. While the military tribunals shall punish refractory conscripts, you must prosecute, and cause your subordinates to prosecute, with inexorable severity, those who, from disaffection, corruption, or even an unseasonable pity, shall dare to favor the coward that shuns our colors."
When the French are foiled in the execution of any enterprise, instead of being silent, they claim equal merit for the non-execution, as if the deed had been done with success, and boast of the great consequences that might have followed it! In the decree of the Conservative Senate, of 23d Sept. 1805, for raising 80,000 conscripts, moved by Reynault (of St. Jean d'Angely, in the presence of Bonaparte) the orator commences his oration in the usual bombastical stile—"Sire! The Eagles of your armies were about to cross the seas. The violators of the treaty of Amiens, tortured by remorse, agitated by fear, were on the point of being punished by your justice—But a few days more and the liberty of the seas might have been conquered for the world! [What a pity!] Your army, sire, formed of the same legions that conquered the Austrians—Your army, whose devotion to your person doubles its courage: Your army, whose indignation will increase its valor: Your army will fight and will conquer, and the diversion so dearly paid for by England, will only have the effect of retarding her humiliation." After much more rhodomontade, the orator makes, however, the following shrewd and acute remark: "The chiefs of the foreign powers and armies," says he, "having separate interests, unite for a moment by treaties, to quarrel afterwards on their execution. Though they agree in their cabinets, they seldom agree in their camps; and still more rarely do their generals agree with each other on the field of battle!" The orator concludes with scattering some crumbs of comfort before his majesty: He says your majesty will be sure always to find enough to fill up the void left by battle in the battalions of war. The conscripts you will again see vie with veteran troops for zeal and fidelity, readiness and courage."
On the part of France, we have two declarations in the forms of notes delivered by M. Talleyrand to Count Cobentzel, on the thirteenth and sixteenth of August, 1805. One of them begins with passing off
the magnanimous behaviour of the Emperor and King his Master, in the offers of peace he made to Russia and England; and affects to compliment the emperor of Germany for his readiness to interpose in order to terminate the evils caused by the war to the French empire; it then refers to the mission of M. Novosiltoff; says it produced nothing but an offensive note, replete with fulsome language and false assertions; and his master being thus attacked in his honor, there could be no hope of anything favourable to peace in a negotiation with Russia; it then indulges in foul invectives (as usual) against England, says she rejected Bonaparte's offers of peace with an intent of stirring up the Courts of Russia and Austria to war, and to set the continent in a flame! in the design also to cover Italy with blood and carnage, that with that intent she sought the intervention of Russia, and then it aims to throw a sugar plumb into the mouth of the emperor of Austria, telling him the cabinet of Vienna, is too enlightened not to perceive that was the intent of England by her continually besieging him with offers of subsidies to induce him to take up arms, and further to soothe Austria, tells her if she would only join with Prussia in resolving not to injure France, England would be compelled to peace, and the treaty of Amiens would be restored before the month of January next. After gratifying the opus of the Emperor of Austria by holding the bright side of the picture before him, the dark part is turned towards him. Austria is warned of the probable consequences of her conduct in Italy; is charged to withdraw her armies from thence which she has been assembling, otherwise her master will be compelled to provide an adequate force, by ordering her armies from the coast, and if she refuse, such a refusal will be construed as forming a league with England which would be more troublesome to France than an open war. It then rises into a threat, that if Austria does not directly recall her armies from Italy and the Tyrol, cease establishing magazines, fortifying camps, baking biscuit, taking up draft horses, and reduce her whole force to a peace establishment, he will declare war against her with all his vengeance, boasting that if Austria desires war, his master will have to throw back upon the aggressor all the evils that it will bring not only on the present generation, but also his master the Emperor and king dare utter it with pride, his own states and his own family, not doubting but the Great Nation will have to celebrate new victories in a new war. The above is the substance of two long and verbose declarations from Mr. Talleyrand to the emperor of Germany.
Again—In a long and loquacious Exposé , read by Segur, counsellor of state, before the Conservative Senate, Sept. 23, 1805, a fresh rod is twisted hard to lay on the back of the Emperor of G——, a cat o' nine tails for England. It begins with a rank falsehood.—"Bonaparte, while sensible of the glory acquired by arms in a just and necessary war, forgets not there is a glory more calm and dear to his heart! his first wish, the constant end of all his efforts, has ever been the tranquility of Europe! the repose and happiness of nations!"
The orator then gives appetite the reins, and indulges himself in a strain of unqualified abuse of England, a blockader of ports, tyrant of the seas, monopolizer of commerce; charges her with avarice, pride, plotting conspiracies, assassinations, &c. &c. The orator then gives Austria a lecture; accuses her with employing alternate arts and menaces to cajole the petty princes of G. into the cession of such possessions as suited her, with having acquired Lindau, on the lake of Constance, the Isle of Minoau, in the same lake, which placed in her hands one of the keys of Switzerland, with obtaining the cession of Altkouen from the Teutonic order, which put her in possession of the important post of Rhinau, with carrying off considerable sums of money from Switzerland, with sequestering the fiefs of a neighbouring prince in Bohemia, under pretence of compensations due to the rector of Saltzburg. The orator then charges her with persisting with menaces to keep recruiting parties in the Bavarian provinces, in Franconia and Suabia, and that she did all in her power to interrupt the conscription of the electoral army there, abusing the prerogatives formerly granted to the head of the G. empire, for the common benefit of the states composing it, and now fallen into disuse. She revives them in order to interrupt them in the exercise of their sovereignty by the neighbouring princes in those possessions which fell to their lot in the division, and to deprive them of increase and influence in the diet which ought to result from those possessions; says the treaty of Luneville had for its object,
exclusively of the division of the indemnities, to establish by means of this distribution itself in the south of Germany, an equilibrium which might secure its independence, and to prevent contact which a close contact of the territories of France and Austria might give rise to. "Thus," says the orator, "Austria reversed what the recess had so wisely established, when by her acquisitions in Suabia, she weakened the barrier between France and the principal states of the south of Germany, and when by a combined system of sequestrations, pretensions, caresses and menaces, she was incessantly aiming to secure to herself an exclusive, universal, and arbitrary influence on that part of the G. E." The orator then charges her with countenancing the right of blockade, which the court of St. James' has dared to arrogate, according to which a single order of the board of admiralty is sufficient to put under interdict all the coasts of a vast empire.
Having given you extracts from all the principal state-papers delivered on the part of Russia and Austria, and those addressed to the above powers by France in different shapes. I will now turn your attention to what was preparing at Paris. In the Moniteur of September 22, 1805, (the day preceding that on which the emperor and king went to the conservative senate) was printed a programme, describing the order of the procession to be observed the next day.
* Extract from the Moniteur of September 19, 1805.—Was any one desirous of knowing if there was any truth in the report that subsidies were sent by the government of England for the use of certain terms on the continent, he need only turn to the list of the course of exchange on London, which will show, that in the month of January, 1805, the prime minister of England was making extra payments abroad; the court of England, being, during that, and the following month, three quarters less in favor of England than the preceding month, though that is the season when England had a large balance to receive on the annual accounts current, between her manufacturers, and the merchants of the continent.
† Unluckily for the orator, however, two noted French generals Jourdan, and Massena have lately had a serious quarrel before the latter resigned his place to the former, and would have fought, if the Viceroy Bianhornier had not put Jourdan under arrest, and ordered him to return to France. Massena is not liked by the troops for his great severity and known immorality, nor caring for the lives of his men. (To be continued.)

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26.
There was an interesting debate on Friday the Senate on Dr. Logan's bill to suspend commercial intercourse between the United States and St. Domingo. Messrs. Logan and Jackson advocated, and Messrs. S. Smith, Hilloth, Mitchell and Adams opposed it. The debate became the more interesting from its implication of the general state of our foreign relations, particularly the late British orders. No argument but that of reprobation was uttered, and the necessity of taking bold and commanding ground in defence of our violated rights was avowed on all hands. The further consideration of the bill was postponed till Monday.
HIGHLY INTERESTING.
Extract of a letter from Charles Martin, Esq. Postmaster at Waterford, Erie county, a gentleman in Lancaster, dated December 1805.
Judson and Isaac Farten are just returned from Detroit. They bring bad news from that place,—that the Indians are gathering in force and threaten Detroit with a second com-

The people are in great alarm, and turning out to arms in every direction. If they had not come away the day they did, they would have been enrolled in the militia next day. This I suppose is owing to the withdrawal of the troops, as there is now only part of a company of artillery there, under Captain Dyar.
French papers to the 29th of October, received at Boston, say—"We are assured that a telegraphic dispatch announces that prince Ferdinand has been taken, with 400 soldiers who accompanied him."
A letter from Nantes, dated the latter part of October, mentions, that business was dull, in the expectation that the success of the French arms would produce a speedy peace.
From Russia.—Captain Bell, of the ship Concordia, with whom we conversed last evening, left Petersburg on the 23d of September. He informs that on the 20th the emperor Alexander left Petersburg for Germany, at the head of 300,000 men; that the war was very popular; that soldiers exempted from service by law were petitioning to be admitted.
When these reach the field of battle, things may yet wear a different aspect. Hitherto Bonaparte has not had a force to oppose, by any means equal to his own. He has certainly all the merit of rapid movements; but not to have conquered, in any engagement yet reported, would have been disgraceful.
[Boston Repository.] The public look with impatience for farther intelligence from the European world. Opinion on the subject of the war is greatly divided; some averring that Napoleon will go on reaping fresh laurels, however formidably opposed; others that the tide of victory will certainly turn when the well disciplined troops of Prussia and the fierce soldiers of the North unite with the Austrians against the Gallic armies. Supposing such a junction to be formed, the modern Nebuchadnezzar will have indeed to cope with a force of immense magnitude, far greater than he has hitherto had to encounter. But when one thinks on the fertility of his genius and his daring enterprize his skill an army and his name a host—he is at a stand; he can form no conception which scale will preponderate and which shall kick the beam.

To the Editor of the (London) "Sun." CURE FOR THE DROPSY. SIR.—In your paper a few weeks since I observed that Bohea Tea, and the leaves to be eaten, was recommended as a cure for the above fatal disorder; and as I had a pauper in the house at that time, who was given over by the Visiting Surgeon, I ventured the experiment, and to my astonishment found an almost instant relief. I repeated the dose but once, and the woman in the course of a week was able to go out to hay making, and will begin reaping for me on Monday next, if the weather continues fine. The woman's name is Elizabeth Austin; her age 72. I am, Sir, yours, &c. T. H. SHRIMPTON, Governor. House of Industry. Farringdon, Berks, August 20, 1805. The receipt alluded to in the above letter was as follows: "Eating the leaves of Bohea tea is stated to have effected several cures in case of Dropsy, in the course of a few days. About two large tea cups full of the tea are infused in a quart of water, and during the day the decoction is to be drank, and the leaves eaten at short intervals."
Proceedings of Congress Taken for the "ALEXANDRIA DAILY ADVERTISER." NINTH CONGRESS, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. MONDAY, December 23. Message from the president. Memorial of the governor and judge in behalf of the inhabitants of Detroit, but as the reading was agreed to be dispensed with, we cannot now give any particulars.

The petition states the defenceless state of the city, that it is much more so than
any other port. It was attacked last war many times; and in case of war with a maritime power, it would be the first great object of attack. Signed, De Witt Clinton, Mayor. Referred to the committee appointed on that part of the message of the president of the United States. Memorial of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, praying for an additional duty of tonnage, in order to defray the additional expense of the harbor. Referred.

On a division, there were 70 votes in the affirmative.
Petition of the inhabitants of Lynchburg in Virginia, for alterations in certain post offices and post roads. The petition states that the sum annually transmitted by way of Richmond is not short of 800,000 dollars: that this sum is from time to time carried in specie and bank notes, often on horseback, over dangerous roads, and praying that the mail may be carried in a public waggon. Referred to the committee of post offices and post roads. Thos. Sterling, a soldier, wounded at Monmouth, and praying relief. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Dawson from the committee to which was referred so much of the president's message as related to aggressions, defence of ports and harbors, the building of 74-gun ships, made a report, in part, containing several resolutions thereon, and providing certain sums of money for such purposes. Resolved, That the report, together with two letters from the secretary of the navy, be referred to a committee of the whole, and be printed.
Mr. Dawson also moved the following resolution: Resolved, That the president of the U. States be requested to inform the house whether any and what steps have been taken by any particular state indebted to the U. States, in defence of the harbors of the United States. Mr. Crowninshield, from the committee of commerce and manufactures, reported a bill for erecting light-houses in Long-Island Sound, and for making Roxbury a port of delivery. Read twice and committed to a committee of the whole house for Wednesday next, and to be printed.

Mr. Gregg, from the committee of public lands, reported on the petition of George Rogers Clarke, for a grant of land, as a compensation for losses sustained in the revolutionary war with Great Britain. Resolved, that the prayer ought not to be granted.
Mr. Findley, called for the report on the petition of Thomas Spalding for a seat in this house in place of Cowles Mead—and moved, "that the memorialist and the sitting member, shall if they desire it, be heard by counsel before the bar of the house." Mr. Cowles Mead, the sitting member from Georgia, now rose and observed, that he wished to dispense with troubling the house with the hearing of counsel before the bar, for that all he wished, was an investigation by the house.
Mr. J. Clay, on the behalf of Mr. Spalding, expressed himself to the like effect. It was then resolved that the house do go into a committee of the whole, thereon. Mr. Dawson in the chair. Mr. Findley the chairman of the committee of elections, explained the reasons, which actuated the committee in their report. They considered which of the candidates had the greatest number of fair votes. Mr. Mead said that there was one circumstance, which had not been before the committee of elections; he dwelt much on the law of Georgia, respecting the time limited for the return of votes. He was not apprised of the petition of the other candi-
dated in time for him to investigate the legality of votes, but that he rested on the established law in such case provided. The committee after consuming the best part of the day on this subject, rose, reported progress and had leave to sit again. Adjourned.
Tuesday December 24. Mr. J. C. Smith, chairman of the committee of claims, made a report on the petition of John F. Randolph, and Randolph M. Gillis, praying compensation for services rendered to the Militia in Georgia. That they have leave to withdraw their petition. Mr. Smith then moved that the said petition be referred to a committee of the whole house; Agreed to.
Petitions of John Finley and others, and of Seth Bower, Eli Elmer and others, praying that they may not be debarred by the statute of limitation from applying for compensation for services, during the revolutionary war; Referred to committees. Mr. Crowninshield from the committee of commerce and manufactures made a report in favor of the petition of Simon Phillipson; And the same was referred to a committee of the whole house.
Report on the petition of Isaac Clarkson of New York, for drawback to the amount of fifteen thousand dollars and upwards, which belost the opportunity of not applying for according to law, on account of the effects of the yellow fever last summer. The committee, in their report on this petition, observed that the law, respecting drawbacks, was too severe, and the time for giving bonds too short. It was referred to a committee of the whole house and ordered to be printed.
Petition of Amelia De Beaumarchais, a subject of his majesty the Emperor of France, stating that the U. States are indebted to her, in the sum of two million two hundred and eighty thousand livers and sols, as the daughter and heiress of M. Beaumarchais, deceased, for supplies furnished by him to the American army during the the revolutionary war with G. Britain; Referred to the committee of claims.
Petition of sundry inhabitants of Ohio, praying the further time of one year for the payment of certain lands, by them purchased of the United States; Referred to the committee of ways and means. Petition of Edward Lewis and another, referred to the committee on public lands. Mr. Findley now called for the report on the petition of Thomas Spalding of Georgia, for the seat of Cowles Mead.
Another very lengthy debate, thereon took place, which turned almost altogether on the law of elections, and of the right of this house to judge in all cases of the returns of members to serve there. Mr. Findley, supported the report of the committee of elections, and contended for the right of the house admitting the votes not returned within the limited time to the governor of Georgia, considering only which candidate had the true sense of the people; he was followed by Mr. Williams of New York, who differed materially from Mr. Findley, he thought it best to abide by the laws of Georgia, he was for protecting the people but according to law only, and consistent with the constitution. If officers are guilty of offence or neglect, they may be punished by the state they belong to.
Mr. G. W. Campbell, thought the subject important to the House. He urged by many ingenious arguments, the power and duty of the house over all elections, and should therefore vote in favour of the report of the committee. Mr. Sloan, was decidedly of a different opinion, and observed that the last speaker's doctrine would keep the house busy enough, for if the house were to examine into elections, it would have little else to do. Mr. Sloan was for giving full credit to the return of the governor of Georgia, and considered all the votes not returned to him within the time limited of no avail.
Mr. Broom of Delaware, now rose, and made his first speech, in a most able stile. His arguments were sound, and his manner impressive; he went through the whole laws of elections, contended for preserving them to each state, that respect be paid them by this House, and, after a speech of above an hour be concluded by giving a decided opinion, formed upon mature reflection, that the votes not returned to the governor, during the time prescribed ought not to be admitted, and the house was bound by the law of that state. Mr. Quincy, spoke to the same effect.
A division was at length called for, when there were in favour of Mr. Spalding being duly elected. Affirmative, 69. Negative, 52. Mr. Spalding was therefore called to the chair, sworn, and took his seat. Adjourned, till Thursday next.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Osthinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and a prostrating Consumption.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the state of Maryland.
Gentlemen, 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 obstinate 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.
Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper: he has seen upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of his invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lying in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  Stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesse,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesse,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluoribus (or whites)  Obtinate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely;
That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

Sworn and subscribed before EBENEZER FERGUSON, Esq. One of the justices of the peace for Philadelphia county.
HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstinacy or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary, a particular excellence of this and so being suited to every age and constitution, and also
contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old. Several worms exist in the body, but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is toxic or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Loxes or large round worms, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Enterobius, or short fat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—this is most harmful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the feet—Con-vulsive and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—grating and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and loath stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of the total complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in each case.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—
By Hamilton's WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a more mucus but upon close inspection quite replete with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms (which usually infest children) came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fat and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
