Proceedings of Congress.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, December 22.
Mr. Holmes, from the committee of claims, made a favorable report on the petition of George Little; which was referred to a committee of the whole house on Monday.
The speaker informed the house that he had received a letter addressed to the house from Isaac Williams, a deranged man, and the same person who communicated an address to the house at the last session, on which no order was taken.
Mr. Clinton presented sundry petitions from the inhabitants of the city of New York, praying for the adoption of measures for the defence of that port, which were referred to the committee on so much of the message of the president as relates to fortifications.
Mr. Clinton moved to print them, which motion was negatived—Ayes 46—Noes 60.
Mr. Varnum presented a petition from the Wyandot tribe of Indians, praying to be confirmed in a small portion of lands, which was referred to the committee on the public lands.
Mr. Smilie presented a petition from Charles Minifie, which was referred to the committee of claims.
On motion of Mr. Tenney, the committee on post offices was instructed to enquire into the expediency of establishing a post route from Newburyport to Exeter.
On motion of Mr. Williams. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into the expediency of extending the power of granting injunctions to the judges of the district courts of the U. S. with leave to report by bill or otherwise.
On motion of Mr. Jer. Morrow, the petition of sundry citizens of Champaign county, in the state of Ohio, was referred to the committee on the public lands.
Mr. Holmes, from the committee of claims, to whom was referred the petition of John Tozer, made an unfavorable report, in which the house concurred.
On motion of Mr. Stanton, the petition of Mary Sheffield was referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Alston, from the committee appointed on so much of the president's message as relates to exploring the western waters made a report.
The report concisely notices the benefits derived from the appropriations already made towards effecting this object, and concludes with a resolution appropriating sum for years further to enable the president to explore the western waters.
Referred to a committee of the whole house on Thursday.
Mr. Clinton presented the memorial of the president and directors of the Manhattan Bank, New York, representing that in consequence of the custom house bonds being deposited in the branch bank, considerable injury has arisen, and praying that this monopoly may be done away.
Mr. Clinton moved to refer this memorial to the committee of ways and means. Mr. Crowninshield moved its reference to a select committee.
The first motion having been disagreed to, Ayes 32—the last motion was agreed to, without a division.
On motion of Mr. Jackson, the petition of the inhabitants of Charles town, Virginia, presented last session, praying for the erection of a port of entry, was referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
On motion of Mr. Bard the petition of Oliver Pollock, presented last session, was referred to the committee of claims.
On motion of Mr. Dawson the bill to change the name of the district of Nanjemoy to that of St. Mary's was postponed to this day week.
Mr. Van Cortlandt presented a memorial from the Highland Turnpike company, soliciting the assistance of congress in the accomplishment of the object.
On motion of Mr. Southard the petition of Stephen Sayre, with the report of the secretary of state thereon, was referred to the committee of claims.
On motion of Mr. J. Randolph, the representation from the judges of the orphans court in the district of Columbia, heretofore presented, was referred to Messrs. J. Randolph, Covington, and Porter.
The speaker laid before the house a letter directed to them from Charles Bruce, representing that the post master general had given a contract to another person for a higher sum than that bid by him, and
implicating a member of the house in the transaction.
Some conversation ensued on the disposition of these papers.
Mr. Elliot was of opinion that considering their nature and the mode of presentation, no notice should be taken of them.
Mr. Alston said he had seen Bruce in North Carolina, who was there using language similar to that contained in the letter. When he came to this place he had made enquiry of the proper officer, and had learned that Bruce had previously been a contractor—and that it was for this reason that his proposals had not been accepted.
Mr. Early called for the reading of the documents, from which it would appear that one of Bruce's own sons, who had been a contractor, had robbed the mail. Mr. Early said he knew this to be a fact, and that the man was now in jail suffering for the crime.
Mr. Bidwell moved that the communication should be referred to the post office committee.
Mr. D. R. Williams opposed the motion, which was lost without a division. No further order was taken on the subject.
Tuesday, December 23.
Mr. Elliot rose for the purpose of offering the resolutions of which he had given previous notice. He said he should not on this occasion avail himself of the ordinary indulgence of the house so liberally accorded to members who made long speeches on short resolutions. If the resolutions should be seconded, he would briefly state their general object, and then move their reference to the committee of the whole on the state of the union, and if so referred, he would on a future day (for the state of his health did not admit of it on this day) assign at length his reasons for them.
Mr. Elliot then offered the following resolutions:
1. Resolved, That it is expedient to make provision by law for the further and more effectual protection of the commerce, the seamen, the harbors, the coasts and the frontiers of the U. S.
2. Resolved, That for the great purposes of national protection and defence it is expedient to provide by law for repairing, manning and supporting in actual service the whole of the frigates and small vessels of war belonging to the U. S.
3. Resolved, That it is expedient to provide by law for defraying the expense incident to building two new frigates to supply the places of the Philadelphia, which was lost during the late war with Tripoli, and the General Greene, which has been condemned as unfit for service.
4. Resolved, That provision ought to be made by law for preparing two or more navy yards, and navy arsenals, situated on or near the margin of the ocean, for the reception of ships or vessels of war and for other naval purposes.
5. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire what provision it may be necessary to make by law, in relation to the location, establishment and superintendence of navy yards and navy arsenals; and that the said committee report by bill or otherwise.
6. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire what further measures are necessary for the protection of American seamen, and for their release and indemnification, when impressed into foreign service by the officers or subjects of foreign powers; and that the said committee report by bill or otherwise.
7. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into the situation of the ports and harbors of the U. S. into the practicability and propriety of a general system of fortification, and the expense with which it would be attended; and also into the best method of fortifying the port of New York, and the other principal ports which are now in a defenceless state: and that the said committee report a statement of facts, with their opinions thereon, to the house.
8. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into the expediency of investing the president of the United States by law with ample powers, to cause every aggression and attack upon the rights, the honor and the interests of the United States, which may be committed or commenced by the officers, citizens, or subjects of any foreign power within the ports and harbors of the United States, within the waters under their jurisdiction, and upon the high seas, within certain distances of the coast, to be immediately repelled and effectually chastised; and that the said committee report by bill or otherwise.
9. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to revise the existing laws respect-
ing the militia; to devise means for completely arming and equipping for actual service, and for more effectually organizing & disciplining the whole of the militia of the United States, in order to render it an efficient force for the protection of the U. S. from invasion by any foreign power; and that the said committee report by bill or otherwise.
The clerk having read the resolutions, Mr. Elliot moved their reference to a committee of the whole on the state of the union.
It was suggested that most, if not all the subjects embraced by these resolutions, had been already referred to committees appointed on the several members of the president's message, and that consequently a similar reference to other committees, would, without any good purpose being attained, tend to complicate the proceedings of the house; and a question of order was raised as to the regularity of committing them.
The Speaker said that as the resolutions, though in some respects similar to the subjects already referred, in other respects varied from them, he considered the motion of deference in order.
Mr. Elliot said a few words to the same effect, and stated his wish to be afforded an opportunity on a future day, should the resolutions be committed, of offering his sentiments at length on the interesting objects embraced by them.
On referring the resolutions to the committee of the whole on the state of the union, the house divided—only 32 members rising in the affirmative, the reference was disagreed to, when the resolutions were ordered to lie on the table.
The consideration of the bill prohibiting the importation of slaves into the U. S. was resumed in committee of the whole—Mr. Varnum in the chair.
Mr. Early moved to strike out that part of the bill which declares the importation of persons of color into the U. S. felony and punished with death.
This motion was supported by Messrs. Early and Holland, opposed by Mr. Smilie, and agreed to, ayes sixty, noes forty-one.
Mr. Bidwell renewed the motion formerly offered by him, so to amend the bill as to prevent the forfeiture of persons of color imported.
On this amendment a debate of considerable length ensued, in which Messrs. Bidwell, Cook, Sloan, Fisk, Bedinger & Smilie supported, and Messrs. Lloyd, Early, Elmer, Alston and Macon opposed it—when on motion of Mr. Alexander, the committee, without coming to a decision, rose, and obtained leave to sit again.
Mr. J. Randolph, from the committee of ways and means, presented two bills the one making appropriations for the military establishment of the U. S. during the year 1807—and the other making appropriations for the navy of the U. S. during the year 1807—both of which were referred to the committee of the whole house; the former made the order for Monday, and the latter for Friday.
TREASURER'S REPORT.
(Continued.)
PUBLIC DEBT.
The annexed note of the proceedings of the commissioners of the sinking fund, marked (E.) shows that a considerable portion of the annual appropriation of 8 millions of dollars were applicable this year to the reimbursement of purchase of the domestic debt: no more than 17,517 dollars 61 cents, were offered at market price, and accordingly purchased. The reimbursement of the navy six per cent. stock, amounting to 711,700 dollars, was therefore effected on the 30th day of September last, and that of the five and half per cent. stock, amounting to 1,847,500 dollars, is advertised for the first day of January next. The payment of the last mentioned sum will be made by the treasury in the course of this month. Although a more than usual portion of the appropriation for the calendar year 1806 falls, for that reason, on the last quarter, it appears by the statement (D) that the payments on account of the principal of the public debt, have, during the year ending on the 30th day of September, 1806, amounted to near three millions two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
It appears by the same statement, that the payments on account of the principal of the public debt, have from the 1st April, 1801, to the 30th September, 1806, amounted to $21,203,903 55
The payments on same account to be made by the treasury in the course of this month, are
For the reimbursement of the five and half per cent. stock, 1,847,500
For the annual reimbursement of the six per cent. and deferred stocks, 993,389 19
Amounting together to 2,830,889 19
And making the total of the principal of the public debt, reimbursed from the 1st of April, 1801, to the 1st of January, 1807, more than twenty-four millions of dollars.
During the same period there have also been paid to Great Britain, in satisfaction and discharge of the money which the U. States might have been liable to pay in pursuance of the provisions of the sixth article of the treaty of 1794, two millions six hundred and sixty-four thousand dollars, and to the holders of bills drawn by the minister of the U. States at Paris, on account of American claims assumed by the convention with France a sum not exceeding three millions and fifty thousand dollars; neither of which sums is included in the preceding statement of debt redeemed.
As the only parts of the public debt which the U. S. have a right to reimburse during the year 1807 consists of the annual reimbursements of the six per cent. and deferred stocks estimated at 1,540,707 dollars; and of the four and half per cent. stock, amounting to 176,000 dollars, it will not be practicable unless purchases can be effected within the limits prescribed by law, to apply, during that year, the whole of the annual appropriation of eight millions of dollars. The unexpended balance, together with appropriation for the year 1808, will enable the U. S. to reimburse, on the 1st of January, 1809, the whole of the eight per cent. stock, which is irredeemable before that day.
But in order that congress may have a clear view of the situation of the public debt, after the year eighteen hundred and eight and be enabled to decide on the propriety of making further legislative provisions for that object, it appears necessary to state distinctly: First. The operations which will take place in relation to the debt during the years eighteen hundred and seven and eighteen hundred and eight: Secondly. The several species and aggregate of debt, which will have been extinguished between the first of April eighteen hundred and one, and the first of January eighteen hundred and nine: Thirdly. The several species and aggregate of debt, remaining unpaid on the last mentioned day: Fourthly. A comparative view of the revenue and annual payments on account of the debt after that day.
1. The payments to be made during the years eighteen hundred and seven and eighteen hundred and eight, on account of the interest and principal of the public debt consist of the following items, viz.
Interest and reimbursement of the six per cent. and deferred stocks, Dollars 6,688,396 08
Of which sum, the sum required for interest is 3,512,337 83
And the reimbursement of principal will amount to 3,175,958 25
Interest and charges on all the other species of debt 3,529,447 59
Principal of the eight per cent. and four and a half per cent. stocks, 6,438,400
Making altogether 16,746,153 38
That is to say for interest, 7,041,795 33
And in reimbursement of principal, 9,714,358 25
16,756,153 58
This sum, exceeds by only 7,755,000 dollars the sixteen millions appropriated by law for those two years, and that difference may be supplied according to law from the surpluses of revenue already accrued

which are sufficient for that purpose — and which it will be eligible to apply in that manner, in order that the United States may not continue to pay an interest of eight per cent. any longer than they are compelled to do it by the terms of the loan.
2. The amount of debt redeemed, from the first of April 1801, to the first of January next has already been stated to be 24,044,792 74 And the principal which will be reimbursed during the years 1807 & 1808 amounts by the preceding statement to 9,715,358 25
Making together more than thirty three millions seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, reimbursed between the first of April 1801, and the 1st of January eighteen hundred and nine, 33,759,150 99
Which sum consists of the following items, viz. The whole of the foreign debt, 10,236,108 05 The whole of the loans formerly obtained from the bank of the United States, and of the navy 6, 5 and a half, four and a half, and eight per cent. stocks, 12,537,600
Annual reimbursement of the 6 per cent and deferred stocks, 10,631,575 67 Payments in various species of stock for public lands, stock purchased and unfunded debt reimbursed, 353,867 27  33,759,150 99
3. The debt remaining unpaid on the 1st of January 1809, will consist of the following species.
Unredeemed amount of old six per cent. and deferred stocks, reimbursable only at the rate of 8 per cent. a year, for principal and interest, on the nominal amount, 27,141,357 21 Three per cent. stocks 19,019,481 56
Seventeen hundred and ninety six, 6 per cent. stock redeemable in eighteen hundred and nineteen, 80,000 00
Louisiana stock reimbursable in four annual installments, in the years eighteen hundred & eighteen, eighteen hundred and nineteen, eighteen hundred and twenty, and eighteen hundred and twenty one. 11,250,000 00  57,491,838 77
Amounting altogether to near fifty-seven millions and five hundred thousand dollars. To be continued.

CHILLICOTHE, December 11. Last evening the governor of this state caused to be apprehended Dennis Casset, esq. under the act of the legislature of this state, entitled, "an act to prevent certain acts hostile to the peace and tranquility of the United States, within the jurisdiction of this state," and he is now under an arrest.
The governor has forwarded to the post master of Chillicothe dispatches to John S. Gano, general of the first division of the militia, with directions and special instructions how to act on this important occasion.
The trial of Mr. Casset will come on to day, the result of which we cannot at this time determine. Witnesses are summoned to attend at the trial, and it is said that acknowledgments will be made that he tendered money to an individual to enlist under the banners of colonel Burr. Many others it is supposed, will be apprehended on the same grounds, or by virtue of the president's proclamation, which has now come to hand.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27.
MR. SNOWDEN, I came to this town prior to my fixing my residence here to take a view of the advantages, and the prospects it afforded for the advancement of my business. Among the many things I saw which indicated to my mind the best mode of assisting the prosperity of the place, was a turnpike road, which I was in hopes of seeing carried on with much spirit, as the benefits arising from it are too well known to make any comment necessary. I am well persuaded, and can with much confidence assert, from a knowledge of the country which furnishes our market, that the stock will be a productive one, and independent of this I really do believe that it is the interest of every one in business and to each one owning property, to step forward and subscribe for as much stock as he can possibly pay for, believing as I do that a good road will enhance the value of every house and lot 20 per cent. and enable our West-India merchants to make larger sales of their weighty articles, which will be easily transported, and prevent our neighbors (whose exertions are unvalued in turnpiking) from taking from us that valuable trade. I have frequently within these two weeks heard the waggoners say that they would prefer paying double the present rates of tollage, provided the directors of the road would extend their labors still further on. Could I only infuse into the minds of my fellow townsmen the sentiments I feel, and the magnitude of the subject as it rests with me, and thereby induce them to be assiduous in the undertaking, how well should I feel paid by giving one year of my profits to assist them in the task. We have the opportunity now, but let the Baltimoreans once get our customers on their road, and we may set down and mourn on our lost advantages, and lament our supineness in the hour when activity was necessary.  PHOCION. 26th December, 1806.
Reports of an unpleasant nature were yesterday in circulation in this place; but we put no confidence in their truth:—It was said that letters were received at Frankfort from St. Louis, informing, that the Spanish standard had been raised at that place, and that ninetenths of the citizens had declared their intention of changing the American government for the Spanish.
We see so many unfounded calumnies published in the Eastern papers against the citizens of Kentucky; stating that they are in a state of insurrection, &c. that we can readily believe our brethren of Louisiana are equally calumniated. [Kentucky Gazette.]
By a gentleman who left Frankfort yesterday, we learn, that the United States Attorney moved the Federal Court on Tuesday, that a grand jury should be summoned, which was accordingly done, to meet on Monday next, at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of enquiring into the conduct of Col. Burr. It is understood that Mr. Daveiss now conceives he has it in his power to substantiate the charges against Col. Burr, made in his affidavit on a former occasion. [ibid.]
Extract of a letter dated, Chillicothe Dec. 11, 1806. "Our court is procrastinated to consi-
derable length. Yesterday a certain Dennis Casset, merchant of Wheeling, was arrested by the governor in virtue of the act recently passed. This day the court consisting of judges Todd and Semmes, have had the case of Casset before them; about twelve or fifteen witnesses were examined in the cause. The evidence was not conclusive but highly suspicious and strongly circumstantial of his being concerned in Burr's plot—he offered to enlist men and give ten dollars bounty, he insinuated that the president was concerned in Burr's scheme if any was on foot, he drank col. Burr's health and wished him success in his revolutionizing plan, he induced others to drink Burr's health and buzzed for Burr. He had made use of a number of threats and loose expressions—he was going to move to Orleans, he would not suffer his boats to be examined, he would mount a swivel and kill any person that molested him. It was this evening decided that he was a proper subject for the laws to operate on, and ordered to be committed unless he gave bail in ten thousand dollars. At his request a grand jury was ordered, and the cause will be decided this term."
In the legislature of Ohio on the 11th instant, Mr. Cass presented according to order, "a bill to suspend the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus and for other purposes," which was read the first time.
Letters have been received in this city from the state of Ohio, which say, "at the latest dates from Kentucky, the legislature of that state were deliberating with closed doors."
National Intelligencer.
In the brig Delight, from Lisbon, came Mr. John B. Cheshire, an officer of the Constitution, by whom we learn that Mr. Sims, surgeon of that ship, died at Lisbon the 16th of October.

All the pilots at the entrance of the Garonne are recently forbidden going out beyond the several shoals or passes. It is important for masters of vessels bound to Bordeaux, particularly at this time of the year, to obtain the most approved charts and correct information of the Cordovan and neighborhood; for perhaps the entrance into the Garonne is the most difficult in its navigation of any on the coast of France, and often times ships are compelled to endeavor to enter without a pilot. Vessels with cotton from hence to Bordeaux perform an extra quarantine of four days.

Modest assurance. In an article on the subject of suspending the "Non-Importation Act." Duane, after stating that he "should have preferred voting with the minority of 5, rather than with the majority of twenty times that number," very modestly adds—"we (meaning himself) may not have a view of the whole ground," and, THEREFORE, may not be so COMPETENT to judge as the Executive!"—Indeed!!
To the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser.
SIR, I sailed the beginning of September last from the City of St. Domin o, in the sch't Venus, bound to Port-au-Plate. About the 25th of the same month, whilst lying in the latter port, an indigene privateer mounting 4 guns and 150 men arrived there; immediately on anchoring she commenced a brisk fire on us for about three quarters of an hour, and afterwards sent on board us 16 armed men, who conining myself and crew below, cleared the schooner's decks, and in the night weighed anchor. We arrived at Limbe the next day for orders from General Romam (the owner of the privateer) who directed us to be taken to Port de Paix, where, with the officers and crew of the Danish ship Emerald, Capt. Peterson, we were thrown into prison, without any other allowance than one plain meal per day each, and what rain water we could catch. Here we lay until the 19th of October, when orders from Dessalines were received to carry us to his fortress, a place from whence very few who once entered ever returned. We had been previously stripped of our shoes, stockings, &c. and were almost naked. In passing through Gonaives, news reached us of the death of the Emperor. We were, notwithstanding, kept in confinement until the pleasure of his successor, General Christophe, should be made known; our crew meanwhile, suffering by sickness and want of food. We owe whatever comfortable nourishment we had to the generosity of Mr. Simeon Johnson, merchant, there. Early in November we were ordered to march to the Cape, a distance of 72 miles, over rough mountains, without any regard to our feeble situation. On our arrival there, we were informed by General Christophe, that he considered us a good prize. In a few days we obtained our release, and an order to quit the island. Five of the Emerald's crew were de-
tained. The strangers in the place supplied us with some provisions and cloathing; and myself and Capt. Peterson were generously offered our passages in the British sloop Penelope, from the Cape to the United States, by Mr. Richard Boell, the supercargo, who treated us with great humanity and attention, and to whom we cannot omit this opportunity of rendering our most grateful acknowledgements.

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, thickness 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. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mill yet howl qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, Taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine-street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among these 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 ad-
ministered 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 most 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, Harness-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the 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.
