A Runaway.
ON Monday morning last, a young and likely negro man slave, named DICK, left the service of the subscriber, and is now supposed to be lurking in or about the town of Alexandria. He is about 18 or 19 years of age, copper colored, well made, and wears his hair in a queue. He took with him shoemakers' tools, with which he is a tolerable workman, and had on a short jacket made of dark colored twilled Virginia cloth and pantaloons of the same.
As he went off without any sort of provocation that I know of, it is supposed he is harbored at some of the numerous tipping houses in or about the town, and perhaps kept at work to defray his expenses.
I will give Ten Dollars reward for his apprehension and delivery to me, or if he is secured in any jail and notice given to me—and if he is apprehended out of the county of Fairfax or district of Columbia, I will pay Ten additional Dollars.

VALENCIA, February 7.
WE have no scruples in assuring our readers, that for two months past we have had successes about Saragossa and that quarter, of which we do not know the circumstances, that have frustrated the third plan which was adopted by the most perfidious of all tyrants to effect our slavery.—that his arms have suffered unexpected humiliation—that other events unforeseen by his boldness have caused him to abandon, for the present, a prize, which ignorantly and in a fool-hardy manner he looked upon as his own in the beginning of December; and that the time is not distant when we shall see repeated the ignominious scene of a flight from the capital which lately excited the ridicule of all Europe, notwithstanding the deputy emperor protested he would never abandon his subjects.
VALENCIA, Feb. 10.
The negotiation between the Divan and the English minister proceeds towards a final adjustment of their disputes, notwithstanding the intrigues of the French minister. The new vizir perceives the true interest of the Turkish empire, and what measures will prevent its suffering the calamities which afflict the greatest part of the continent. The vizir and the British minister Adair, have had several private conferences.
February 17.
All the intelligence which we announce concerning the state of Europe, and the strength which the enemy can bring out to forward his plans, must convince us, that we have arrived at the most critical period of securing to ourselves a country. If we get escape the moments so favorable to a reaction, perhaps they will hardly return, and will leave us nothing more than the sad remembrance of having ill improved them, and of not having availed ourselves of those succors with which Providence manifestly supports our cause. The enemy has his attention and his forces divided, and in no part does he present to us an aggregate like that which we can oppose to him. All Europe is in a ferment and an advantageous state of agitation, and through all parts there appear symptoms of a new era.
SEVILLE. In the supplement to the government Gazette of the 3d February, is the following.
The Viscount of Quintanilla, organ of the Supreme Junta of the government of the kingdom and his representative in Leon, writes, under date of the 14th of the last month, that on the 26th of December last, the Marquis of Romana withdrew with his army from Leon to Astorga, in which city he re-united himself with the English army on the 30th. That both armies continued their march to Galicia, the English being destined for the port of Manzanares a Villafranca, and that of Romana for the port of Poncabadon a Ponferrada, where it was on the 2d January. That on that day this army had an action with the enemy, and another on the 6th, in sight of the city of Lugo, with advantage, as is said, on the part of the English. That in that kingdom arrangements were made as circumstances permitted to reimburse our army, situated at that time in Orense, with men, arms, artillery and ammunition, and to secure all effects in other places—and that it was supposed they were all united with the English in Corunna or its vicinity.
BADAGOS, January 29.
A letter from Lisbon, dated the 25th instant, states, that advices had been received there more favorable to the successes in Galicia than the former accounts; and that if General Moore had embarked, it must be in consequence of a concerted plan formed by him and the Marquis Romana.
It is also said, that Gen. Wellesley was expected there soon with 15,000 effective men, which was confirmed by letters from Oporto.
JAEN, February 2.
Two persons who left Madrid last Tuesday assure us, that Napoleon passed by Burgos the 17th, and by Vitoria the 18th, continuing his route towards France with-
out stopping; and that Marshal Lannes, who is between Irun and Vitoria, with thirty thousand men, had retired by forced marches.
It appears that 13,000 Portuguese have joined Cuesta, with which he now has a respectable force.
The Duke del Infantado has just formed a junction with the army of the Sierra Morena.
February 5.
Narrative of observations made by a respectable person who left Madrid Jan. 21.
In order to reconnoiter the position of the enemy on the banks of the Tagus by the vicinity of Toledo on its right and left, I directed my course to the town of Yepes, the 11th of this month and until the 14th I was at Toledo, Vargas, Olías, Monjon, Villa-seca and other places thereabouts. By the most correct intelligence I could obtain, and by what I saw and observed, the number of the enemy in Toledo, was on the 12th about 500 at most, all infantry without artillery—the same day 1500 horse, went before my arrival, for Extramadura; they advanced two leagues and retired towards Aranjuez; so that on that quarter there remained none of the enemy, nor between Aranjuez and Toledo. Before the Tagus I found no troops stationed, and I saw only a small detachment of cavalry at a little distance from it.
I passed on to Madrid by the royal road of Toledo the 16th without meeting any enemies, as far as Leganes, where I observed a small number, apparently for the protection of the equipages and other effects in that quarter. The entrance into Madrid is easy, but hazardous to persons of distinction, as there are many Spanish spies. The two days that I remained, I ascertained by faithful guides that all the enemy's troops did not exceed 21 or 22,000 men without the gates, 7,000 in Madrid, and the rest in Aranjuez, and on the van guard of the duke del Infantado; the person who gave me this intelligence assured me that he had seen it in the house of Belliard the governor of Madrid.
The 1st and 7th of this month, the French army had orders to evacuate Madrid, and repass the gates.
The 17th it was given out in the orders that the English army had had the audacity on the 14th to attack the French head quarters, at Valladolid, and had been chastised; but this is false.
The deputies of Madrid, appointed to compliment Napoleon, went out for Valladolid; I have seen two letters from them; the first written from Arevola, dated the 12th, said, that they had orders to seek for the emperor at Segovia, and, if they did not find him, to go to Nieva, where he would be, the other requested letters of credit on Bayonne: from these it is inferred that they are no longer in Spain.
Joseph Napoleon remained at the Pardo (in the suburb of Madrid) with a guard and about 200 men in quarters; he entered Madrid on Sunday the 22d, without any parade.
The parade of Madrid does not exceed 700 men, and the cavalry are so few, that people of good information do not make them above 300.
I am assured, by one who said he had seen it, that the last French papers arrived by the mail of the 21st mention the entrance of the archduke Charles into Bavaria with a large army—I have seen a letter from Vitoria, dated the 17th, which says that a corps of French troops which was entering by that province, had received orders to go back again with precipitation; I am assured that many other letters said the same thing, and from hence are inferred generally the movements in the north.
Joseph Napoleon said at his court on the 13th, that although Germany should unite with Prussia to make war against France, and uneasy Spain should follow, nothing would be gained by that, because Russia and France were amply sufficient to subject all Europe. This I know by a minister of the board of commerce and the mint, who was present at the court and heard it; from which is inferred their great anxiety.
Madrid is fortifying, for the purpose of taking from it the greatest possible number of troops.
It is certain that the present plan of the enemy's campaign in Estremadura, is reduced to maintaining the bank of the Tagus till they receive reinforcements from Saragossa, if it surrenders, or from Castile. There is the greatest caution and anxiety—in Toledo they are very fearful; they shut the gates at 3 P. M. Every traveller is examined scrupulously, and on the least suspicion is detained or sentenced. In short, on the royal road of Madrid they had no troops quartered as far as Ocana by Toledo, up to its gates, and as far as Estremadura, there are only small parties to make excursions.
OLOT, Jan. 20.
Our famous gen. Reding has given proofs of his skill and talents. In a short time he collected an army of 40,000 men, which will soon be encamped before Barcelona. Claros and the marquis of Lazan will march towards that place with 8 or 10,000 men, to prevent the Vandals from escaping towards the capital. Three Spaniards who escaped from Narbonne assert that orders were issued in France for raising a new army of 500,000 men—but where will they get them?
MANRESA, Jan. 20.
They write from Huescas on the 22d instant, that the attacks on Saragossa were continued; that in one of them the French were entirely routed in the Cantarilla of St. Joseph; and their cavalry, which at the same time attacked the gate of del Carmen, met with the same fate. If these attacks are thus continued, the French will soon be without an army before that place—That from Huescas and the other places armed people sallied forth by hundreds, and even from the convents there, 50 of the regulars & seculars went out to attack the French; finally it is said, tho' not certain, that the French entered Saragossa by the gate of Portillo, where thousands of them were killed; and that 3000 who reached the place of the Pablo were all killed by our cavalry. And from Fraga they write, on the 25th, that don Francisco de Palafox (brother of the general) on the night of the 25th of December last, for the salvation of the country left Saragossa and embarked in a launch with a colonel, an engineer and aid and went down the river, the banks of which were lined with the enemies, till he landed 3 leagues on this side of Galza, whither he went on foot, on his way to Cuenca for the purpose of procuring auxiliaries, to succor Saragossa, which is happily defended by his immortal brother. We arrived at Mequinenza the 24th to fortify that place and assemble the armed inhabitants with which they expect to raise the siege of Saragossa, and chastise the Vandals of our times.
MALAGA, January 29.
Extract of a letter from Madrid. —The French army which was at Estremadura has returned part to Toledo and part here, much weakened. The remnant of Soult's division, in the same condition, arrived here last night, the greater part without arms; they entered the city in the night, so that their miserable situation might not be generally known. Several corps that were in Castile have met the same fate. In the vicinity of this place there are 30,000 men (French) among which are 3000 cavalry. Councils of war are held at every instant by the generals; and the troops are going towards Guadalaxara and Aranjuez.
A secretary of the ambassador Cevallos, arrived at Cadiz, brings information that gen. Cuesta had sent a dispatch, announcing that he had cut off 4000 men at the bridge of Almaraz, and defeated the rest of the French who were returning to attack Estremadura; and that on that score no fears need be entertained. Seur. Cevallos had published this for general information.
NEW YORK, April 12.
Latest from the East-Indies.
The following account of a revolution which broke out last Nov. at Bantam, a Dutch settlement in the East-Indies, was handed us by a gentleman who arrived here yesterday in the ship Illinois, from Batavia.
[Translated for the Evening Post.]
ORDER OF THE DAY.
Camp at Cera, four miles above Bantam, 24th Nov. 1808.
The 14th inst. the marshal and governor-general Dandels received intelligence that on the 11th inst. at Bantam, governor Du Puy, lieut. Kohl, one corporal, and three Malay soldiers, had been murdered in a most barbarous manner in the fort of the sultan, and that orders had been given to kill the commanding officer and the Europeans stationed at Anjar, but who, however, fortunately made their escape. Immediately 200 grenadiers, one company of flying artillery, 125 cannoners on foot, with two heavy howitzers, 700 infantry, and 60 cavalry, were ordered to march thither, which, notwithstanding the difficulties they had to encounter by bad roads, and the crossing of deep, large and rapid rivers, was effected in a very short time. The sultan, who had been unfaithful to his engagements, and counteracted the interest of the Dutch government, had been instigated to this malicious act by his first minister, whose removal from office the marshal had advised. On the 19th, the marshal summoned the deluded prince to surrender, which he refused to do. On the 21st, Fort-Dimond was surrounded by the military, and taken possession of without resist-
ance. The sultan was found in his palace by himself, with his wives and concubines, deserted by his soldiers. The next day the marshal incorporated the kingdom of Bantam with the other possessions belonging to his majesty the king of Holland, viz. the eastern part joined to the circumjacent country of Batavia: the Lampoon is to be forever separated, and the remainder given to the brother of the former sultan, who is to constitute himself as a subject of his majesty the king of Holland, and to be under the control of the new governor. The sultan is at present arrested, in the fort of Spechuyck, from whence he will be transported and banished to Amboyna. On the 24th, the first minister of the deposed sultan, who had been the cause of all the mischief, was shot, and his body thrown into the river—whereby the honor of the Dutch government being sufficiently revenged, the marshal proclaimed a general amnesty. The jewels and most precious things, are confiscated for the benefit of the government, and shall either be transported to Batavia, or remain here for further orders.
William Cowell, a native of Boston, captain in the Dutch navy, died at Batavia the 27th of November, 1808.
PENNSYLVANIA REBELLION.
PHILADELPHIA, April 13.
OLMSTEAD'S CASE.
The Grand Jury now sitting for the Circuit Court of the United States, have found a bill of indictment against general Bright, and eight other persons for a misdemeanor in resisting the process of the district court issued in this case.
The information that the money in the case of Olmstead would be paid by the state on Monday last appears to have been incorrect, or only to have arisen from surmises, founded on the arrival of the state treasurer in the city.
The marshal yesterday issued notices to call together the posse comitatus of his district, to the amount of 2000 strong, to meet at the state-house yard, on Tuesday next at 10 o'clock, properly equipped; from whence he will march, we presume, to execute his writs, vi et armis . Whether gen. Bright, being under recognizance, can or will oppose with his whole brigade, time must determine. If the two parties come in contact, there will no doubt be serious work.
* The following is a copy of the summons issued by the marshal:
To SIR, Having been violently resisted by an armed force, in my lawful endeavors to execute process issued from the district court of the United States for the Pennsylvania district, commanding me to arrest the bodies of Elizabeth Sergeant and Esther Waters; and the said armed force being still in array to oppose my endeavors so as to render it impossible for me to obey and execute the said mandate to me directed, without calling to my aid and assistance the power of the said district; you are summoned and commanded to appear at the state-house in this city, at ten o'clock in the forenoon of Tuesday next, the 18th April instant, provided and prepared in such manner as will enable me with the aid of the power of the said district, of which you are to form a part, to suppress all riots and breaches of the peace against the said United States; and to apprehend and bring to condign punishment all rioters and trespassers against the United States, so that I may be enabled to execute the said process to me directed. Herein fail not under the pain and penalties that may, in case of disobedience, ensue. JOHN SMITH, Marshal of the U.S. for the Pennsylvania district.

FAIRFAX COUNTY REGENERATION.
The independent electors of Fairfax yesterday came forward in a manner worthy of themselves, and shewed to those who would govern them by caucuses, that they had discernment enough to select proper characters, and independence enough to vote for them notwithstanding.
At the close of the poll last evening the results were,
  FOR CONGRESS,   Joseph Lewis, jun. (fed.) 146   Wm. Tyler, esq. (dem.) 125   STATE SENATOR,   B. Hove, jun. esq. (fed.) 150   Dr. H. Rose, (dem.) 124   ASSEMBLY,   Richard Coleman, esq. (fed.) 154   J. H. Hove, esq. (fed.) 145   G. Minor, esq. (dem.) 133   Lewis Summers, esq. (dem.) 125 
From the above we have now the pleasure to announce that the hon. JOSEPH LEWIS, is re-elected to represent the district composed of Prince William, Loudoun, and Fairfax in the Congress of the U. States by a much larger majority than he has ever had before, and more than double what he had at the last election; and this at a time when his opponents had stuck at nothing, no matter how base and illegal, to frustrate us. We have also to congratulate our friends on the election of Bernard Hove, jr. esq. for the district composed of the counties of Prince William and Fairfax to the State Senate.
And last, though not least, we have to congratulate the freeholders of Fairfax on their regeneration, and the refusal to employ men in their service, to say the least, not qualified for that situation.
WESTERN ELECTION PROSPECTS.
By a gentleman from Staunton we learn, that Mr. Swoope has a majority in three of the five counties which compose that district, and his friends are very sanguine of his election.
The election of general Breckenridge, is reduced almost to a certainty, he having obtained in Boutetourt county a majority of upwards of 200.
From information received from Mr. Jackson's district it was believed he would be left out.
MARTINSBURG, April 12.
We congratulate our federal republican friends upon the event of the election held yesterday in Jefferson county. At the close of the polls it stood thus:
CONGRESS.
  Stephenson, 236   Morrow. 204 
  Federal majority, 32 
ASSEMBLY.
  A. Morgan, 237   W. Tate, 237   D. Morgan, 206   S. Slaughter. 194 
STATE OF NEW-YORK.
Good News from the North.—That the measures of our general government have produced an extensive and salutary change of public sentiment, cannot now be denied. The intelligence daily received on the fact beyond dispute. In every part of New-England the change has been rapid and thorough; and thousands of honest citizens, who were lately the warm advocates of a feeble, but designing and deceptive administration, have discovered their error, and are flocking around the standard of correct principles.
From the whole of the northern and western parts of this state—from various parts of Long Island—and from the counties of Orange, Ulster, Columbia and Washington, we have also the most satisfactory information. Private letters and verbal intelligence unite to prove, that the eyes of our most reamary are at length opened—that the veil of delusion is rent asunder, and that they are returning to those maxims and principles, by which alone our liberties can be protected and the interests of the country secured and promoted. They have seen the attempts of the Legislature of this State to violate the constitution for mere party purposes—they have seen the arts and intrigues of base men to keep themselves in power. They have seen our commerce
our industry, and our interest in a great measure destroyed. They have seen embargo and non-intercourse laws adopted, and, in the face of the sufferings and entreaties of the people, tyrannically adhered to. They have seen the Constitution trodden under foot, and the rights of the citizen wrested from his hands. They have seen the interests of Six Millions of Freemen made the sport of irrational and visionary experiment—and they are resolved to re-unite with their federal republican brethren, from whom they were seduced by deception and falsehood, and with them to exert every effort to save their sinking country.

"I regret that I am prevented from executing your order for salt-petre. I had purchased about two tons, which I was about to ship to you per the Mary, but am prevented by the custom house, where they inform me; that they have orders not to allow the exportation of salt-petre or gunpowder; and that an order in council will be issued to this effect."

"A vessel from Matanzies brings the unpleasant news of a general insurrection among the lower order of the Spaniards, united with the blacks and mulattoes. It began under a pretext of banishing the Frenchmen found in the island; but passengers in the above vessel state, that at Matanzies and Havanna, they had laid hands on all descriptions of people of property; that they were in force to the amount of 30,000; and that the confusion was great beyond description."
PROSPECTS.—The following statement which appeared in the Aurora, is, we are informed, corroborated by hints put in circulation at Washington.

From the Aurora.
It is reported that Mr. Oakley, just arrived at Washington, has brought overtures to our government for an accommodation, of which as a preliminary, the British government offers to make a formal concession and acknowledgment of wrong in the case of the Chesapeake, and an offer of maintenance to the families of such as were killed in that unhappy affair.
The citizens of the United States, imprisoned in the British navy, are to be released and permitted to return to the United States.
The proclamation authorising the impressments to be recalled.

And a proposal for a treaty of amity commerce and navigation, upon principles of equal rights; the free admission of the ships and productions of each country, into the ports of the other, without paying more than the port and light house duties.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) March 4.
The ship Friendship, Smith, from the cape of Good Hope, is arrived at Falmouth.—The Friendship sailed from Table Bay on the 10th of Jan. leaving there his majesty's ships Powerful, Reasonable, Culloden, Racehorse, Sea Flower, and Camel (store ship) with the Phoenix and Wexford homeward bound Indians; and also the ship Rose, Brooks, from New South Wales, Botany Bay, where it appeared the inhabitants had dispossessed gov. Bligh of his authority, and appointed Mr. Johnson acting governor. On board the Rose were two gentlemen, lieut. Simmonds of the navy, and a Mr. Blackstone, charged with dispatches from Mr. Johnson—on the arrival of the Rose at the Cape, they were both put under arrest, by order of the governor there—lieut. Simmonds, was put on board the Powerful man of war, and Mr. Blackstone confined on shore, and their papers taken from them. It was reported at the Cape, that the inhabitants of the isles of France and Bourbon (15,000 of whom were said to have died for want of provisions, owing to the ports being strictly blockaded) had made some offers to the British government at the Cape, in consequence of which a cutter had been dispatched to England in January.

CAMPAIGN IN SPAIN.—Gen. Moore's wound was received from a cannon ball, which had reached the ground at the distance of twenty yards, and rebounding struck him on the breast, which it laid open, and at the same time tore off one of his arms. The general fell from his horse, but momentarily recovering himself he appeared disposed to remount.
General Baird's wound was from a grape shot. He was carried on board the Ville de Paris, and an amputation took place by removing the left arm from the socket of the shoulder.
Mrs. Moore, on hearing of the death of her brave son, immediately took to her bed and did not converse for many days. He was buried at Corunna in his clothes, without a coffin, and in a grave dug by the hands of the officers of the staff.
The French behaved in the pursuit, with the most disgraceful inhumanity, by sabering and shooting some of the poor fainting soldiers, who could not keep up with the British army. Indeed Bonaparte's late bulletins boast of putting sixteen stragglers from that army to death, so shameless is he become about violating all laws human and divine.
Character of Jefferson.
The late Judge Ellsworth of Connecticut was universally considered one of the most profound men of our country. He was one of the real "nobles of nature." It may be wrong, strictly speaking, to call any man a political prophet but the following perfect description, by anticipation, of the administration of Mr. Jefferson, certainly entitled Mr. Ellsworth to the character of a prophetic politician. It evinces that he had a perfect knowledge of human nature and the characters and dispositions of conspicuous statesmen. It is taken from a letter of Mr. Buck to Mr. Fisk, both of whom have been members of congress from Vermont.
"When I was at congress in the winter of 1797, Mr. Ellsworth was a member of the senate, and we boarded in the same house. At the election the fall before, Mr. Jefferson was the competitor to Mr. Adams for the presidency, came near to gain the office, and the circumstance excited much anxiety and alarm amongst the federal members in congress. I was one evening sitting alone with Mr. Ellsworth, when I asked the question, why the apprehension of Mr. Jefferson's being president should occasion so much alarm? At the same time observing that it could not be supposed he was an enemy to his country or would designedly do any thing to injure the government, as constitutionally established. Mr. Ellsworth after a short pause replied; "No, it is not apprehended that Mr. Jefferson is an enemy to his country or that he would designedly do any thing wrong; but it is known that he is a visionary man, an enthusiastic disciple of the French revolution, and an enemy to whatever would encourage commercial enterprise or give energy to the government. It is apprehended, that if he were to be president, he would take little or no responsibility upon himself; the nation would be as it were without a head; every thing would be referred to congress; a lax, intriguing kind of policy would be adopted, and, while arts were practised to give direction to popular sentiment, Mr. Jefferson would affect to be directed by the will of the nation. There would be no national energy; our character would sink, and our weakness invite contempt and insult. Though Mr. Jefferson would have no thoughts of war, his zeal in the French cause, and enmity to G. Britain, would render him liable to a secret influence, that would tend to the adoption
of measures calculated to produce war with England, though it was not intended; and the nation might be plunged into a war wholly unprepared."
SOLEMN REFLECTIONS.
[An Extract from Salmagundi.]
"How futile are all our efforts to evade the obliterating hand of time! As I traversed the dreary wastes of Egypt, on my journey to GrandCairo, I stopped my camel for a while, and contemplated in awful admiration, the stupendous pyramids—An appalling silence prevailed around; such an reigns in the wilderness when the tempest is hushed, and the beasts of prey have retired to their dens. The myriads that had once been employed in rearing these lofty mementoes of human vanity, whose busy hum once enlivened the solitude of the desert—had all been swept from the earth by the irresistible arm of death—all were mingled with their native dust—all were forgotten! Even the mighty names which these sepulchres were designed to perpetuate, had long since faded from remembrance; history and tradition afford but vague conjectures, and the pyramids imparted a humiliating lesson to the candidate for immortality. Alas! alas! said I to myself, how mutable are the foundations on which our proudest hopes of future fame are reposed. He who imagines he has secured to himself the meed of deathless renown, indulges in deluding visions, which only bespeak the vanity of the dreamer. The storied obelisk—the triumphal arch—the swelling dome, shall crumble into dust, and the names they would preserve from oblivion, shall often pass away, before their own duration is accomplished."
To be said or sung by any Democratic Editor, who has been long enough in the country to have learnt YANKEE DOODLE.

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, FOR COUGHS.
THE increasing reputation of Hamilton's Elixir (which during the last nine years has become celebrated throughout the U States,) warrants the assertion that it is the best remedy now in use for colds, obstinate coughs, asthma and approaching consumptions. Experience has taught thousands, that the common opiates and balsams, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs, in the most distressing symptoms, that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system increase the difficulty of breathing and excite fever: But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects.
A single trial will prove that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs sheathes the acrimonious liquor which irritates them, and finally discharges it. Thus striking at the root of the disorder the symptoms are effectually and permanently conquered, the reverse of common medicine which weakens the constitution and gives strength to the disorder, for the sake of medicating for the present some of its painful effects.
To parents who have children afflicted with the hooping cough, this discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Select Recommendations.
Philad. April 9, 1806.
Mrs. H. Lee, widow of Richard Lee, Jr. 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, but 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 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, junior, No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia.
Mr. Charles Myers, Hamstead-Hill, near Baltimore, had been a long time dangerously indisposed, and was reduced to the lowest state of weakness, inasmuch that his recovery appeared extremely doubtful. His complaints which seemed to be affections of the breast and lungs, and general debility occasioned thereby, yielded little, but rather progressed under the treatment of several eminent physicians; when by the use of Hamilton's Elixir, his distressing cough was immediately alleviated, and every other symptom perfectly subdued. Four or five bottles entirely removed his complaints and restored him to an excellent state of health and strength, which he has for upwards of a year past, enjoyed without interruption.
From Luther Martin, esq. late attorney general 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 coughs, colds, 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.
