SUBSTANCE OF A TALK
Delivered at Le Maquoutinong, entrance of Lake Michigan, by the Indian chief Le Macouis, or the Trout, May 4th, 1807, as coming from the first man whom God created, said to be now in the Shawanese country, addressed to all the different tribes of Indians.
Le Macouis holding in his hand eight strings of old wampum, four white and four blue, said—
Brothers. These strings of wampum come from the Great Spirit. Do not despise them, for he knows every thing. They are to go all round the earth till they are lost. They were sent to you by the FIRST MAN he created, with these words:
Children, I was asleep, when the Great Spirit, addressing himself to another spirit, said: I have closed my book of accounts with man, and am going to destroy the earth; but first I will awaken, from the sleep of the dead, the first man I created; he is wise, and let us hear if he has ought to say. He then awoke me, and told me what he was about to do.
I looked round the world and saw my RED CHILDREN had greatly degenerated; that they had become scattered and miserable. When I saw this, I was grieved on their account, and asked leave of the Great Spirit, to come and see if I could reclaim them. I requested the Great Spirit to grant, in case they should listen to my voice, that the world might yet subsist, for the period of three full lives. And my request was granted.
Now, therefore, My Children, listen to my voice, it is that of the Great Spirit! If you hearken to my counsel, and follow my instructions for four years, there will then be two days of darkness, during which I shall travel unseen through the land, and cause the animals, such as they were formerly, when I created them, to come forth out of the earth. The Great Spirit bids me address you in his own words, which are these.
My Children, You are to have very little intercourse with the whites. They are not your father, as you call them; but your brethren. I AM YOUR FATHER. When you call me so, you do well, I am the father of the English, of the French, of the Spaniards, and of the Indians; I created the first man, who was the common father of all these people as well as yourselves, and it is through him, whom I have awakened from his long sleep, that I now address you. But the AMERICANS I did not make. They are not my children, but the children of the evil spirit. They grew from the scum of the great water, when it was troubled by the evil spirit, and the froth was driven into the woods by a strong east wind; they are numerous, BUT I HATE THEM. THEY ARE UNJUST; they have taken a way your lands, which were not made for them.
My Children, The whites I placed on the other side of the great lake, that they might be a separate people. To them I gave different manners, customs, animals, vegetables, &c. for their use. To them I have given cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry for themselves only. You are not to keep any of these animals, nor to eat of their meat. To you I have given the deer, the bear, and all wild animals, and the fish that swim in the rivers, and the corn that grows in the fields, for your own use; and you are not to give your meat or your corn to the whites to eat.
My Children, You may salute the whites when you meet them, but must not shake hands. You must not get drunk; it is a great sin. Your old men and chiefs may drink a little pure spirits, such as comes from Montreal! But you must not drink one drop of whiskey. It is the drink of the Evil Spirit. It was not made by me, but by the Americans. It is poison. It makes you sick. It burns your insides. Neither are you on any account to eat bread, it is the food of the whites.
My Children, You must plant corn* for yourselves, for your wives, and for your children, and when you do it, you are to help each other, but plant no more than is necessary for your own use. You must not sell it to the whites. It was not made for them. I made all the trees of the forest for your use; but the maple I love best, because it yields sugar for your little ones. You must make it only for them, but sell none to the whites. They have another sugar, which was made expressly for them; besides by making too much you spoil the trees, and give them pain by cutting and hacking them, for they have a feeling like yourselves. If you make more than is necessary for your own use, you shall die,
and the maple will yield no more water. If a white man is starving, you may sell him a very little corn, or a very little sugar, but it must be by measure and by weight.
My Children, You are indebted to the white traders, but you must pay them no more than half their credits, because they have cheated you. You must pay them in skins, gums, canoes, &c. but not in meat, corn, or sugar. You must not dress like the whites, nor wear hats like them, but pluck out your hair, as in ancient times, and wear the feather of the eagle on your heads; and when the weather is not severe you must go naked, excepting the breech cloth; and when you are clothed, it must be in skins or leather of your own dressing.
My Children, You complain that the animals of the forest are few and scattered. How should it be otherwise? You destroy them yourselves, for their skins only, and leave their bodies to rot, or give the best pieces to the whites. I am displeased when I see this, and take them back to the earth, that they may not come to you again. You must kill no more animals than are necessary to feed and clothe you; and you are to keep but one dog, because, by keeping too many you starve them.
My Children, Your women must not live with the traders, or other white men, unless they are lawfully married. But I do not like even this; because my white and red children were thus marked, with different colors that they might be a separate people.
[Here follow certain regulations respecting courtship and marriage; as also respecting the purification of women at certain periods, which are too minutely detailed to be repeated. The Great Spirit also directs them all to bathe at certain periods, to wash away their sins, upon the observance of which regulations they are to be pardoned four times for the same offence; such as stealing, getting drunk, or the like; but the fifth time, says the Great Spirit, "you shall surely die."]
Your wise men [or conjurors] have bad medicine in their bags. They must throw away their medicine bags, and when the medicine is in blossom, collect it fresh and pure. You must make no feasts to the evil spirits of the earth; but only to the good spirits of the air. You are no more to dance the WABANO, nor the POIGAN, or pipe dance. I did not put you on the earth to dance those dances, but you are to dance naked, with your bodies painted, and with the Piogamaugum [war club] in your hands. You must all have this weapon and never leave it behind you. When you dance thus, I shall always look on with pleasure. You are to make yourselves Paka Touanacs (or crosses) which you must always carry with you, and amuse yourselves often with that game. [A kind of that ball common among the savages, which requires great agility] Your women must have also handsome passa quanahos that they may also; for I made you to amuse yourselves, and I am delighted when I see you happy. You are, however, never to go to war against each other, but to cultivate peace between your different tribes, that they may become one great people.
My Children—No Indian must ever sell rum to Indians. It makes him rich, but when he dies he becomes very wretched. You bury him with all his wealth and ornaments about him, and as he goes along the path of the dead, they fall from him; he steps to take them up, and they become dust. He at last arrives almost at the place of rest, and then tumbles into dust himself. But those, who by their labor furnish themselves with necessaries only, when they die are happy; and, when they arrive at the land of the dead, will find their wigwam furnished with every thing they had on earth.
[Thus far the Great Spirit.]
Now, my children, said the first called man, listen what I am about to add. The Great Spirit then opened a door, shewing me a bear and a deer, both very small, and very lean, and said; look here, my son! these are the animals that are now on earth; the Red People have spoiled them by killing them too young, and giving their meat to the Whites, and also by greasing themselves with their fat, which is very wrong. The women, when they grease their bodies, or their hair, should do it only with the fat of the smaller animals; of raccoons, of otters, snakes, &c. The Great Spirit then opened another door, and shewed me a bear and deer extremely fat, and of a very extraordinary size, saying, "look here my son! Those are the animals I placed on the earth when I created you."
Now, my children, listen, to what I say, and let it sink into your ears—it is the orders of the Great Spirit.
My Children—You must not speak of this talk to the whites. It must be hidden from them. I am now on the earth sent by the Great Spirit to instruct you. Each village must send me two or more principal chiefs to represent to you that you may be taught. The bearer of this talk will point out to you the path to my wigwam, I could not come myself to Arbre Croche, because the world is changed from what it was; it is broken, and leans down; and as it declines, the Chippewas and all beyond will fall off and die; therefore you must come to see me and be instructed, in order to prevent it. Those villages which do not listen to this talk, and send me two deputies, will be cut off from the face of the earth.
Vast quantities of Indian corn are raised by the Indians of Arbre Croche, a village ten miles in length, lying on lake Michigan, at the distance of nine leagues from Michilimackinac. It is purchased by the traders, and is the principal food of their men employed in the fur trade.
Sugar is also made by them in great abundance. A single family makes from 10 to 30 mokes [as they call them] containing an average of about 25 lbs. each. It is sold to the traders, and is worth from 10 to 12 cents a pound. It is often superior in whiteness to the best Muscovado sugar.
The same game at which they were playing when old Macana was taken by stratagem and destroyed.
Another game for the amusement of the Indian women. Two little balls are tied together by a thong of 6 inches in length, and thrown with a stick.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, June 4.
We are glad of an opportunity of correcting an error into which we were led by a morning paper—a correction which will give satisfaction to our military readers, namely, that the gallant lord Hutchinson is not superseded by Mr. Frere; the latter gentleman goes as ambassador to the king of Prussia, but lord Hutchinson continues as military commissioner or resident with the Prussian army; and we may, from his elegant pen, continue to expect correct details of occurrences in that quarter, to which this country is at the present moment so allied.
Tuesday generals lord Cathcart, sir David Baird and Beresford, had long audiences of the commander in chief, at the horse guards.
Major Macdonald of the 43d regiment, is appointed secretary to lord Cathcart, for the grand expedition.
All is bustle at the present moment at the horse guards. Every nerve is strained to hasten the departure of the expedition now preparing for the continent. The last dispatches from the allied army are, we understand, so very urgent for a British force that ministers have determined to hasten the departure of lord Cathcart, or sir David Baird immediately.
The command of the allied army is definitively conferred on Benningsen. This has been done in a manner which greatly enhances the high honor so bestowed. The emperor Alexander, after expressing in general orders his entire approbation of the conduct of general Benningsen, and of the high sense and opinion which he entertains of his talents and his services, orders it to be notified to the army, that the supreme command is vested in that officer, and that all dispatches are to be transmitted to, as well as orders received from him. We trust that the issue of the contest on the other side of the Vistula will amply justify this exalted confidence.
Great fears are entertained for the safety of sir Thomas Troubridge and the Blenheim man of war. Sir Thomas was to have superceded admiral Stirling in the command of the Cape and South American station.
It is stated in letters from Vienna of the 14th, that the emperor on leaving Olen, passed over the Carpathian mountains, to have a conference with the emperor of Russia.
The French have devoted uncommon labor to strengthen their positions in Prussia, the banks of the Lorge from Marienwerder to the Brausen lake, and thence to the Passarge, present a continued chain of batteries, defended by 300 pieces of cannon.
PARIS, June 12.
Yesterday at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, in execution of the orders of his majesty the emperor and king, his serene highness the prince arch chancellor of the empire, repaired to the senate.
His serene highness was received with the usual ceremony, and having taken his seat, said;
Gentlemen,
I bring you a message from his majesty the emperor and king, and letters patent given the 28th May last, in the imperial camp at Finkenstien.
The letters confer the title of hereditary duke of Dantzic on the marshal Lefebvre, praeor of the senate.
The message further enhances the high distinction by the noble and affecting exposition of the motives that have determined it.
The military career of the marshal Lefebvre, so long illustrious, will be forever memorable by the siege of Dantzic, and by the brilliant success which has terminated it.
His majesty could not recompense in a more worthy manner, ancient and numerous services, at the same time that it prepares just subjects of emulation to those who will one day succeed to the dignity which the marshal Lefebvre has just received.
Afterwards were read the following papers:
Extract from the minutes of the secretary of state.
From our imperial camp of Finkenstien the 28th May, 1807.
Napoleon, emperor of the French and king of Italy—
We have decreed, and do decree as follows:
The senate shall assemble the 11th of June, in the usual place of its sittings. (Signed) NAPOLEON.
We have decreed and do decree as follows:
Our cousin the arch-chancellor of the empire shall preside over the senate, which shall assemble the 11th of June, in the usual place of its sittings. (Signed) NAPOLEON.
Message of his majesty the emperor and king.
SENATORS,
By our decrees of the 30th of March in the year 1806 we have instituted Duchies to recompense the great services, both civil and military, which may be rendered us, to give fresh stays to our throne, and to incircle our crown with new lustre.
It belongs to us, the care of securing the state and the fortune of the families which devote themselves entirely to our service and who constantly sacrifice their interest to ours. The permanent honors, the legitimate honorable and glorious fortune that we wish to give those who have rendered us eminent services, whether in the civil or military career, will contrast with the illegal hidden shameful fortune of those who in the exercise of their functions only seek their interest instead of keeping in view that of our people and the good of our service. Without doubt the consciousness of having done our duty, and the benefits attached to our esteem suffice to keep a good Frenchman in the path of honor, but the order of society is so constituted, that to apparent distinction, to a large fortune, are attached a consideration and lustre with which we desire those of our subjects to be surrounded who are great by their talents, their services and their character; the first gift of man.
He who has the most seconded us in the first stage of our reign and who after having rendered services in every circumstance of his military career, has just united his name to a memorable siege, in which he has displayed talents and a brilliant courage, has appeared to us to merit an illustrious distinction: we are desirous also of consecrating an epoch so honorable to our arms, and by letters patent which we have charged our cousin the arch-chancellor to communicate to you; we have created our cousin the marshal and Senator Lefebvre duke of Dantzic. May this title, borne by his descendants, retrace to them the virtues of their father, and may they acknowledge themselves unworthy of it, if ever they prefer the cowardly repose and idleness of the great city, to the perils and noble dust of camps; if ever their first sentiments cease to be for the country and for us, may none of them terminate his career without having shed his blood for the glory and honor of our superb France; may they in the name they bear never see a PRIVILEGE but duties towards our people and us: on these conditions our protection, and that of our successors will distinguish them at all times.
SENATORS. We feel a sentiment of satisfaction in thinking that the first letters patent which in consequence of our senatus consultum of the 14th August, 1806, ought to be inscribed on your registers, consecrate the service of your praeor.
Given in our Imperial camp of Finkenstien, the 28th May, 1807.
NAPOLEON

FLUSHING, June 6.
A ship arrived to day in our port re- ports having met near the heights of Zout- man, an English fleet composed of vessels of war and transports, sailing northerly with the wind at W.; if it should be the expedition from Yarmouth, every thing is ready to give it a suitable reception; but expected nothing further will be done than making a vain parade. The reduc- tion of Dantzic has besides happened in time to furnish a pretext for returning into port.
HAMBURG, June 5.
The brigade of major-gen. De Vincenti, set out yesterday from hence, it repairs by Baireuth to Magdeburg.
There has already passed by our city three Spanish regiments, viz: the infantry regiment of Guadaxara, the cavalry re- giment of Abgaris and the regiment of hussars of Villaviciosa.
The duke of Cobourg arrived the 30th May, in the neighborhood of his capital. The contingent he is to furnish will not de- lay being completed.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
PHILADELPHIA, August 6.
Extract of a letter from on board the schr. Charlotte, from Porto Rico, dated Laza- retto, August 4.
"Enclosed you have the three last Ga- zettes published in Porto Rico—I believe you will find nothing interesting in them. The schr. Iris, Williams, of Norfolk, from Teneriffe, with wipies and brandy, was cast away at the entrance of the harbor, on the 15th ult. crew and part of the cargo saved, vessel lost, a pilot on board at the time. The schooner Little Will, expected to sail in six or eight days; the Olive Branch, Hewston, in ten or twelve days; a schr. belonging to Foster and Giraud, of New York. The Fortitude, arrived the day before we sailed which was on the 19th ultimo. We have been on the coast be- calmed for five or six days past. Mar- kets in St. Johns, E. I. glutted with A- merican produce. Coffee not to be had. We spoke nothing on the passage. We came into the capes this morning. Saw nothing coming up. The Emily of Philadelphia, was to sail from the coast about the 25th ult."
BALTIMORE, August 7.
MIRANDA. —By a gentleman lately ar- rived from Trinidad, we are informed, that Miranda was still at that place, and that he was waiting for intelligence and assistance from England, for the purpose of making a further attempt on the Spanish Main. Many are of opinion that he has a British commission, and acts under the orders of that government. No expedition appears to be fitting out from Trinidad for the Maine at present.
NORFOLK, August 3.
Arrived schooner Weymouth, Wey- mouth, 3 days from New York. Captain W. reports, that the editor of the N. York Gazette and General Advertiser, informed him, "that immediately after his last paper was committed to press, news arrived in the city, that admiral Berkeley had sailed for the capes of Virginia, and that he was very much concerned at the late conduct of commodore Douglas, and other officers under his command, on the American-sta- tion." Mr. James Bulley came passenger in the Weymouth. He informs us he was carried off in the character of a pilot, in January last, by the French 74 gun ship Foudroyant, and that the commander there- of treated him in the following cruel and unjust manner, viz. "Landed him in Brest, a country far distant from his own, with a trifling sum of 40 dollars for all his serv- ices; that he was rendered in a great mea- sure unable to support life, owing to a se- vere cold which he caught while on board said ship."

The Prince of Peace is stated in the Madrid Gazette to have delegated his pow- ers as admiral general, to eight naval offi- cers, who have been constituted a supreme council of admiralty—They were convok- ed for the first time, on the 3d of April, at the prince's palace, on which occasion he represented to them the necessity of applying all their energies to increase the maritime strength of Spain—The benefi- cial effects of this new arrangement have not yet manifested themselves.
Preparations are making to put the har- bor of Boston in a complete state of de- fence.
Extraordinary Production. Mr. Benja- min Raze, of Stamford, informs, that he planted four potatoes of the seed direct from South America, which produced se- ven bushels. The last season he planted two potatoes of the same species, which produced 12 bushels and 3 pecks. These potatoes grow very large and long; some to a foot in length, and weigh from three to four pounds; are very sweet and plea- sant for sauce. [Spec.
Dantzic was called by the Poles Gdansk, and is about four miles from the Baltic, on the Vistula. Two small rivers which run through the city fall into the Vistula, and one of them divides the old from the new town. It was anciently the principal of the Hanse-towns In 1454, it refused submission to the Teutonic Knights, for some privileges promised by Poland which they did not find confirmed. In 1734, the king of Poland took refuge in it, and it was bombarded by the Saxons and Russi- ans, but not having the expected assistance of the French, Dantzic submitted to the elector of Saxony. Its revenue has been reckoned at a million of crowns, of which not a tenth part is raised out of the city. Its peasants are considered as the most rich and most happy of all Poland. In 1772, it had a check to its prosperity from the claims of Prussia, and by the new commercial regulations which were de- signed to give advantages to Elbing and Konigsberg. It suffered by the plague in 1709, and lost above 20,000 souls. It ca- pitulated to the Saxons, 8th July, 1734. In the seven years war it suffered from the Russians, and then its fortifications were erected upon the new plan. In 1783, Dan- tic was blockaded by the Prussians, but Russia and Poland obtained the raising of the blockade. But the convention of 1785, and the new commercial regulations, it did not recover its former privileges. In 1788 a great part of the citizens and mer- chants proposed to submit to the generosity of Prussia, which the magistrates opposed, but soon after they consented from neces- sity. In the last partition of Poland, in which Dantzic was comprehended, while Europe was inattentive to the fate of that kingdom, the powers concerned in the partition, paid no greater regard to the wishes of the people to be united to their states, than they did to the laws of nations or the laws of justice. They who wish to compare the conduct of the French in 1734 with 1807, may be assisted by the history of Lewis XV. from the pen of Voltaire. He informs us that Fleury, not willing to abandon the king of Poland, or to make exertions in his favor, sent a squadron commanded by an officer, who upon the sight of danger retired. The French ambassador at Denmark resented this want of courage, and almost sure of destruction with such an inadequate squad- ron, ventured to land, and attacked the Russians and perished. Such was the fate of a brave man who ventured with 1500 Frenchmen, against 30,000 Russians. But the brave man's letter to one of the secretaries of states is worthy of our own times. "I am sure that I shall never re- turn. Take care of my wife and children." The situation of Dantzic upon the Baltic, its excellent harbor, its numerous ships, its great grain trade, the reputation of its ship building and cloth manufactures, make it an important acquisition.

From the (Stockbridge) "Atlas." IRISH WIT.
A JOLLY crew, it often happens so, Met at an inn one day to eat and drink; How much they ate or drank I do not know, But 'twas a trifle, we may safely think.
Among the rest, a little Paddy came To take his glass, and join the festive league, I do not know that I can tell his name, But if I don't forget, his name was Teague.
Being well seated, it was thus resolv'd That each should ask a question from his sed- dle, And he, who ask'd one, which he could not solve, Should for the public weal bestow his bottle.
Agreed, cries Teague, with heart brim- full of glee; And as there seems to be no great objection, I'll be for asking foremost, do you see, And leave the answer to your sage reflection.
You've seen, says he, where squirrels dig their holes; What is the reason they no dirt dig out? Why, answers one, that troubles not our souls— You ask the question, now resolve the doubt.
Well, answers Teague, they are a crafty creature, And don't begin to dig as doth a mole; For being of a nature vastly neater, They first begin at t'other end the hole.
Stop, stop, says one, with eyes that bright- ly stare, And heart in Bacchus's bright sunshine bask- ing, How came this wonder-working squirrel THERE? In faith, cries Teague, that's of your own wise asking.

MILITIA!
THE Lieutenant Colonel Commandant re- quests the Officers of the 2d legion to meet this evening, at 6 o'clock, on the usual muster ground, without uniform, for the pur- pose of exercising. The necessity of officers being well acquainted with, and expert at, their duty, is so evident, that he trusts it is only necessary to appoint a time and place of meet- ing, to induce a full and punctual attendance.

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. Mollhier 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 affected 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, yielded 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 always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and 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 Dobbins 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, Haxness-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins 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.
