PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon,
Five contiguous Plantations,
Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court-house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.
The premises will be shown to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED
ABAELLINO,
THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle Spectre, Monk, Adelgitha, &c. &c. Price, handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents.
What black Musician conjures up this fiend? What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Alas, I blame ye not. for ye are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil— Avaunt, thou dreadful Minister of Hell.
RICHARD III.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlap; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, being so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.
NOTE. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira, by Lewis. June 7—21

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

WEDNESDAY, May 31.
DEBATE.
On Mr. Randolph's motion for approving the late conduct of the president of the U. States.
[CONTINUED.]
MR. FISK said it was with great sincerity that he now declared he was glad that this unfinished business was taken up by the house at this time: and he should speak with equal sincerity were he to say that he should be glad that the house might finish it before they adjourned. Nor did he speak with less sincerity when he declared his reluctance to offer any remarks on the subject. Nothing but the extraordinary resolution and the still more extraordinary course the discussion had taken, should have induced him, young and inexperienced as he was in the business of the house, at this time to have trespassed on its patience. As an individual or private citizen (said Mr. F.) I have no objection to the sentiments contained in that resolution as originally proposed, nor to the amendments suggested. I do not know that there is any difference of opinion on this subject; and I did regret to see a proposition introduced which might look like a distrust of the unanimity which I believe at this time prevails in the nation. I for one have not heard any murmuring or complaints of the conduct of the president in meeting the overtures of the British government, but lest I should be unwilling to give my vote as a representative of the people upon this resolution or any other of like description. I consider it to be derogating from the dignity of a representative of the people to give my approbation to the president or any other officer, however meritorious, when he has performed no works of supererogation, but merely a duty clearly defined by the express letter of the law; which if he had not done, it might have failed not for the voluntary, but for the constitutional interposition of this house. And so long as this house is organized with the powers and duties which are vested in it by the constitution, giving it the sole power of impeachment, I should think we ought to act with great caution in giving votes of approbation of an officer whose conduct in the execution of his office it may become our duty constitutionally to enquire into. I could therefore have satisfied myself with giving a silent vote on postponing it, which I was willing to do, not only indefinitely, but I was content that the time of its postponement should be co-extensive with the existence of our free government. I was unwilling for one to be converting this splendid hall of legislative deliberation into a temple for offering up adulation to the executive shrine. I was willing for another consideration to postpone the consideration, viz. to save the time of the house and of the nation: for whatever idea some gentlemen may entertain with respect to the necessity of transacting all the ordinary business of the nation at this session, & whatever belief they may have that there is no constitutional objection to it, I must beg leave to say that I entertain a very different opinion—and looking into the constitution for my guide, carries me back to the time when it was proposed and to the convention who did propose it. A great proportion of that body was, as the greatest proportion of Congress always has been and always will be, farmers. Certainly, when reasoning upon the time when it would be most expedient to convene Congress, they fixed upon a period more convenient to the agricultural interests of the country than any other; and at that time I think it would be proper still to meet. I believe, sir, that it was the general impression of the nation, not only when the law convening Congress was passed, but when the time of meeting had arrived, that their attention would be directed to those objects and those only which obviously and imperiously demanded their attention; and I hope that this house equally with the president of the U. States will be "aware of the inconveniences attending a protracted session at this season of the year." And sorry am I to hear any one, especially
one from the southern parts of the U. S. say that he shall go on to transact the ordinary business of the session; but not so much do I regret to hear this, as to hear him declare that he wishes to try the strength of the south and west against that of the east and north. I am aware, and so must be every member of this house, of the out of door insinuations about the influence of different sections of the union. I believe nothing of it; and I am sorry that so vile a calumny should receive the countenance of any member of the house. I never wish to see any measure brought forward which shall try the strength of the comparative parts of the union. I should wish that geographical distinctions should be no more heard of, but that we should consider the interest of different sections of the country as the interest of the whole.
Another and a principal consideration with me for wishing to postpone the discussion of the question at this time was, that it would lead to the very (as I conceive it) improper examination or discussion of our foreign relations. This argument seemed to have considerable weight on the first day's discussion; but the gentleman from Virginia came forward afterwards to fortify his claim to the attention of the house by exhibiting precedents shewing the conduct of former administrations. Precedents are sometimes entitled to consideration and deserving of weight. They are of two kinds, one establishing a form of procedure, and the other a principle of action. To the former there is no objection, if it be not obviously improper; but to the latter we pay no attention, unless convinced that the principle is correct. What are the precedents on which the gentleman relies? Are they analogous or are they not? The first precedent, upon which the gentleman who introduced it with an air of triumph seemed to rely, was that of a vote of thanks and an expression of approbation of the conduct of the father of his country in one of his last though not least useful measures, (the proclamation of neutrality) conducive to the interests and happiness, and perhaps to the preservation and salvation of his country. But what, let me ask this house to consider for a moment, was the situation of the country at the time that proclamation was issued? Was it not different from the present? Unfortunate, perhaps, was it for the citizens of this country, that, in 1793, they had not got rid of impressions, made during the revolution, hostile to England and favorable to France. Whether justly or unjustly made, it is not now my purpose to enquire. Suffice it, that they did exist. There was a disposition in the country at that time to hail the French revolution as the dawn of liberty to the European states. Scarcely could our people be restrained, and indeed they were not restrained, from celebrating it, by festivals, songs and toasts to the success of the French patriots. About this time war commenced between England and France. It then became a question with the administration, more than with the people—for their zeal for French success would perhaps, unless restrained, have hurried them to take a part with those whom they considered to be fighting the battles of liberty, and to whom they considered themselves under so many and so great obligations—it became a question what was the duty of this country towards France. In this situation of things the President, not directed how to act by the plain letter of a statute, and doubting his power and his duty in this respect, convenes the heads of departments—and I believe I should not err were I to say that a diversity of opinion existed even there as to what course should be pursued; but the opinion and judgment of the President prevailed. His course was that of neutrality. A proclamation was then issued. What was its effect? Did it meet universal approbation, as in the case of the present measure? Did the people give it their hearty & unequivocal consent? No, sir; there were murmurs—and even the conduct of Washington was questioned. In this situation of things, shortly after, Congress convened. The interest of the nation, as it were, required the expression of the opinion of this house; and that measure they did not hesitate to take, and, commended the executive for the course which he took. Hence, I conceive sir, that there was no analogy between that case & the present. This authority is not sufficient to convince me that it is my duty to vote for the resolution.
The next precedent adduced was the expression of the opinion which this house entertained in relation to another subject, viz. the obstruction of the navigation of the river Mississippi. You, sir, with every other member, will recollect the sensation which was excited, not only among our western brethren, but throughout the nation, on this occasion; that doubts were entertained whether our rights were invaded
ed by an unauthorised act of a Spanish officer, or by an act of the Spanish government itself. Doubts were also entertained as to what course should be pursued. In this state of the public mind, Congress found it necessary to give their opinion, and expressed not only confidence in the wisdom of the executive, but declared that they believed the act to have been unauthorised on the part of Spain. This expression of the sense of the house seemed at this time really to be demanded by the situation of the nation. Is this the case with the question now before us? I cannot see it in that light. This precedent, therefore, with the other, is not sufficient to convince me of the propriety of voting for this resolution and amendment, or even of discussing it. But it seems, sir, with the rules of this house and the common law practice in it, there is something which compels us to go into this discussion. Nolens volens , we must be driven into it; fas aut nefas it must be discussed.
What objection is made to indefinite postponement? The gentleman does not object to his own resolution, but objects to the amendment. Now, sir, if there be any propriety in any part of the business, I conceive the amendment necessary to define the meaning, and convey more distinctly the sense of the original resolution. For with all the little powers of discrimination which I possess, I have not been able to make a distinction between the system pursued by the present and late President in relation to this particular subject. And, speaking, as I shall, on the three objections made to the amendment, I shall not be guided by any impressions made on me from having participated in the discussion of last winter. I shall speak from impressions made on my mind in common with the people of the district I have the honor to represent, and I believe I might say upon the minds of the majority of the people of the U. S. The gentleman who introduced this resolution has told us that he cannot vote for the amendment because he cannot consent to attach the healthy body of the present administration to the lifeless corps of the late administration; that we should not bring it up to view; that its evil deeds should be buried with it, and its good deeds alone be inscribed on its monument. If, sir, its monument is to be inscribed, and the sentiments of the gentleman from Virginia prevail, I would say, as was said on another occasion—Let not the monument be inscribed till other days and other men can do justice to its merits. Another comparison the gentleman made—He said he was willing to vote for the original resolution and opposed to the amendment, the introduction of which he said, reminded him of a certain description of persons in Virginia who having a pair of horses one bad and the other good, praised the poor animal in proportion to his deficiency. The gentleman told us too the other day, among many instructions which he gave us, and the young members particularly, whom he called youthful sprites , that we might object to the proposition, because a precedent for it was derived from federal times. Sir, I never have and I hope I never shall object to any thing on account of its name. The gentleman told us too that the error in reasoning did not lie in the inferences so much as in the premises. Apply this remark to the present case—If, sir, the present administration be the good horse, and needs no commendation, why introduce this resolution? I am not capable of understanding this, sir.
This resolution met an objection on account of its being an abstract proposition; and as such, not deserving the attention of this house in a legislative capacity. The answer given was, that it was a common practice of the house at the close of every session to thank the Speaker. This practice is but a mere expression of courtesy, confined to the officers of this house and not extended to the other departments of government; and there can be no impropriety in this.—But if it be considered as a precedent, what will be the effect of it? It has been so long established, not only in this house but in the different states, as a matter of course, that the omission of it would be considered at least as a censure on the individual filling the chair. And are we, at the commencement of this session, about to establish this precedent to be venerated as such at each subsequent session? Are we to establish that it shall hereafter be considered as a matter of course, when we come to the Capitol, to make our bow to the President and express our approbation of his conduct, or have our silence construed into a mark of disapprobation? Surely not sir. So much for this argument, urged in favor of the resolution, but which convinces me of the impropriety of adopting it.
The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Randolph) requested that when any member
rose to answer his argument they should state it and meet it fairly. I am not gifted with any extraordinary powers of recollection; but if my memory will serve me, I will endeavor to take up the gauntlet as respects two arguments advanced by the gentleman to shew his aversion to the amendment; and one of them, though not novel, is rather extraordinary: that the embargo, that measure which he considers so ruinous to his country, was laid at a time when the British orders in council were not known in this country; he afterwards narrowed his assertion by saying that they might have been known in New-York, but were not known here. As at that time I had not the honor of a seat in this house I cannot declare what was known here. But this I can say, that twelve or fifteen days before the embargo was known, it was known in New-York that it was the intention of the British government to issue these orders; that they were agreed to on the 11th of November, and would be published on the 14th. But the gentleman says that even if they were known they were not officially known. What information does the gentleman require to authorise him to act? Official information regulates but a small proportion of the acts of this body. The constitution has made it the duty of the president to lay before Congress such information as he may possess in relation to the affairs of the nation. In ordinary times he calls the attention of Congress to the interest of the nation generally; and from the information which they bring with them do they generally act—Yet this information is not official. But what idea are we to attach to this house to suppose that on important occasions they will not act without it? I would suppose a case. A messenger runs in and tells you that the north wing of this building is on fire. Would you wait for official information of the event from the President before you seek for safety? Of this fact of the intention of the British government there was sufficient evidence, short of positive proof, not only to the executive, but to this house. In the message of the President of the U. States accompanying the documents called the correspondence between Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Champagny, we find this passage: "The communications now made shewing the great and increasing dangers with which our seamen and merchandise are threatened on the high seas and elsewhere from the belligerent powers, &c." What belligerent powers? Who were the belligerents (more than one, observe) to whom the President in this language referred? Can it be said that he meant France and Spain or did he not mean France and England? Take this with another fact: that it was known as early as the correspondence between Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Champagny was received, that it was the intention of the French government, (about one year after the date of the Berlin decree) to extend it to American vessels. This first information was a fact from which another fact was to be inferred. The orders in council (issued seven days after the treaty was signed) contained a practical exposition by the British government of the Berlin decree, and a declaration that if its operation was extended to neutrals, Great Britain would for self preservation, retain those decrees, unless neutral powers would resist. No doubt could remain with the American government on comparing the information from Mr. Armstrong with the proclamation of the intention to issue such orders. But if this be not sufficient to establish the fact, that these orders were known to the government, it is a fact that they were known at New York long before the embargo; and as only three days after required for the passage of the mail from New York to this place, it is fair to presume that it was not only known to the government but to every gentleman of observation at this place, what the course was which the British government intended to pursue. I find that the information was published in a New-York paper of the 13th of December. In the intelligence given at the bar of the house of commons, Mr. Martineau says that on the 12th of November he wrote to his American correspondents that such was the intention of the British government, and that orders in council to such effect would be issued and on the 14th November published in the Gazette; and he produced a New York paper at the bar of the house of the 13th December, containing the extract from his letter. This shews that the purpose of these orders was published in New-York on the 13th December. But this is immaterial. I should suppose that the objection if founded in fact, would be of very inconsiderable weight if this was a good measure, because if it was found afterwards that the orders did exist & would have gone into operation had not the embargo been passed, had our vessels been permitted to prosecute their rights on the high seas. Certainly to my mind it is quite

whether it was a "kingly fiat" or the dictate of wisdom. But the gentleman from Virginia says that the embargo has been a measure calculated only to work the ruin of this country—that its operation has been confined to America; that its pernicious effects have been felt here and here only. This sir, is a very different language from that which has been held on the floor of the British House of Commons and of the House of Lords, by statesmen of the first respectability in that country—and I should suppose, that a citizen of the British nation, feeling an interest in its prosperity, would at least be as capable of judging of the effects of such a measure, as a citizen of this country remaining here whilst its effects were operating there. I will beg leave for a moment to call the attention of this house to what Lord Grenville says on this measure, and he incidentally mentions another fact, which had been contradicted in this country and even in this house. [Mr. Fisk here quoted parts of Lord Grenville's speech, published in the Alexandria Gazette some time ago.] He states that he views the embargo to have been alarming in its effects; he states it in his place in the British House of Lords. It will not, after this, be contended, I presume, even by those who say that the measure was ruinous to this country, that it was not injurious to Great Britain, who was really the aggressor upon the indisputable rights of this country. The embargo, however, was a measure which the honorable mover of the resolution had the honor to oppose. He was for giving up this system of restriction: it was the same system which had been commenced in eighteen hundred and five—six, which he considers one of the most disastrous periods and the commencement of the most disastrous system which the country ever witnessed; and since the system received his zealous opposition throughout, is he therefore desirous now to depreciate its effects, as ruinous to this country? He was opposed to the non-importation act, passed in 1806. Why was this act passed? This country found itself bound to do something for the protection of commerce. What was the state to which this country was then reduced? New principles, it was asserted, had been interpolated in the laws of nations; the admiralty courts had made such decisions as to authorize the capture of every neutral vessel on the high seas first, by deciding that touching at neutral ports did not legalize the voyage, but, that it ought to be considered as a direct voyage from the hostile colony to Europe. Upon this construction, the Mercury with a cargo of sugars from the Havanna, having touched at Charleston, and bound to Europe, was condemned in 1802. Under this decision, unexpected as it was novel, much of our merchants property was captured and condemned.
Next the British admiralty courts held it requisite, to shew, that the cargo had been landed in the neutral port, and the duties on importation paid, and also that the first insurance had been made for a voyage to terminate in a neutral country. Then it was held as in the case of the Essex, condemned in May, 1805, that the duties on importation should be actually paid in the neutral country; that to secure them by bond, and subject to a drawback on exportation was not sufficient.
These extraordinary decisions surprised many of your merchants, and subjected much more of their property to capture and condemnation. It was invading their rights from a quarter least expected, and in a manner they were utterly unprepared to meet. Under these various unfounded constructions of maritime law your merchants were extremely embarrassed—and what was their language upon the occasion? This house was filled with memorials and remonstrances, of merchants and others, from one end of the country to the other, protesting in the old language of free and independent men against these aggressions—Congress found it necessary to have recourse to some measure which would, by affecting the interest of the aggressor, be likely to prevent future outrages of this kind. The non-importation act was with this view passed.
Although it had more advocates than opponents, there were opponents to it, and the gentleman was one of them. He would not fight for the merchants, he would not contend with the periwinkles of the strand, I think was his expression then. It was also said that the British government was that of a high spirited nation and would never treat with you whilst this "rod" was laid over her head. She did treat, or rather she condescended to treat (to use language more consonant to the ideas of the opponents of those measures) notwithstanding this proceeding. The treaty of Mr. Monroe was formed during the existence, I will not say operation, of this measure. It was
continued. What said our ministers? And the gentleman from Virginia will consider their declaration, at least that of one of them, as good testimony. Messrs. Monroe and Pinkney said, and the British government did not appear to view it differently, (in speaking of the non-importation act) "The ground which Congress have taken in this just and salutary measure, we are far from wishing to abandon; but to suspend and abandon are very different things. The last would wound deeply the honor of the nation, and prostrate the character of the government; but the first is in perfect conformity with the spirit and purpose of the law and while it would furnish a signal proof of the equity and moderation of our public councils, would preserve unimpaired that firm and dignified attitude which it becomes us at all times, but now more especially to maintain."

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, June 20.
[Taken for the Alexandria Gazette.]
[Yesterday the committee of the whole house on the non-intercourse bill, rose without coming to a decision, reported progress and got leave to sit again, when the house adjourned.]
Mr. Newton, from the committee of commerce and manufactures, made a report on so much of the president's message as relates to the revision of our commercial laws and fostering and encouraging domestic manufactures, and on several petitions from manufacturers of domestic articles. It concludes with the following resolution:
Resolved, That an additional duty be laid on ready made clothes and millinery of 2 1-2 per cent. ad valorem, on cotton manufactured beyond the cape of Good Hope, on bed ticks, corduroys and fustians of 2 1-2 per cent. on shot, and other articles of which lead is the principal or chief value 1-2 cent per lb. on salt 8 cents per bushel.
A motion was made to divide the resolution, so as to take the question on all except salt, which was passed, and
Referred to a committee of the whole house, ayes 77, nays 41, after a disposition on the part of the house to postpone it indefinitely.
After most of the day spent in dispute on a question of order a motion was made to reconsider the last vote and lost. When the question recurred on referring the second member of the resolution and passed in the negative—ayes 32, nays 85.
On the question, for what day shall it be the order? the first Monday in August obtained—ayes 57, nays 52; which sets the subject at rest this session.
A message from the senate announced their agreement to a resolution appointing a committee to superintend the library.
The house then went into committee of the whole, Mr. BASSETT in the chair, on the bill to amend and continue in force the non-intercourse act.
Mr. Jackson observed that lest doubts might arise about the construction of the first section and to render it more explicit, he would move, that nothing in it should prohibit the entry into the waters of the U. States or the territories thereof, of armed vessels of France or England.
Debate arose thereon.
CANADA.
Immediately upon information being received by colonel Simonds, who commands the detachments on that frontier, on the 14th May he issued an order to captain Bennet, of which the following is a transcript:
"Albany, May 14, 1809.
"In consequence of an outrage committed by a party of your men, acting under your orders, on the rights and sovereignty of a nation at peace with the U. S. I deem it an indispensable duty which I owe my government, to order you to be put under arrest; its also the most correct mode of proceeding as to yourself, as by it you are afforded the fairest opportunity of vindicating your conduct. You will proceed to this place and wait further orders."
"Lieut. Nichols, of my staff will hand you this."
"JONAS SIMONDS."
Captain Bennett has surrendered himself to the arrest, and will of course be tried by a court martial.
Important Information.
The public have long been anxious to receive some intelligence respecting the celebrated Mammoth Bones, which, during the last summer, were shipped for France by the order of Mr. Jefferson. To Mr. Jefferson's personal friends, it will be particularly gratifying to learn from the following letter, that in September last the bones arrived in good condition: and were to have been "debarked" without delay, at the bridge of Austerlitz, at the northern gate of the garden of plants, across which these precious objects" were to be transported to the apartment destined for their reception."
Translation of the Count LACEPEDE's letter to D. B. WARDEN, &c. concerning the Fossil Bones, presented to the National Institute by the President of the United States. Dated Paris, 1st Sept. 1808.
SIR, I hastened to communicate to the institute, in their sitting of Monday last, the letter which Mr. Jefferson was pleased to address, and which you had the complaisance to deliver to me.
The institute, penetrated with gratitude for this new mark of interest which its illustrious member has manifested, has resolved that an expression of thanks shall be solemnly addressed to him by its proper officers. It has also engaged me to testify to Mr. Jefferson the value it attaches to his attention. The institute has decided, that the fossil bones and other objects of natural history, which Mr. Jefferson has had the goodness to put at its disposal, shall be placed in the Museum of Natural History; the only place where the public can conveniently and usefully examine this fine present of Mr. Jefferson.
In consequence of this decision of the Institute, I shall immediately make known to my colleagues of the Museum, what you have made known to me, sir, concerning the arrival of these bones; and as they come by the river, from Havre, and are, by their nature, susceptible of being injured, perhaps you may think proper to debark them at the bridge of Austerlitz, at the northern gate of the garden of plants, across which these precious objects can be easily transported to the apartment destined for their reception.
Accept, sir, the new assurance of all the sentiments you merit, as also the renewal of my thanks for all that you have been pleased to communicate to me.
I have the honor to salute you, (Signed)
COUNT DE LACEPEDE.
Monsieur Warden, Secretary of the American Legation.
P. S. I shall have the honor of sending to you, according to your permission, my answer to your illustrious President.
On the 6th instant, the wife of Mr. Phineas Brownson, of Farmington, was delivered of four children, viz. three boys and one girl. They were all born alive, but expired in a few hours.

The following MEDICINES are sold by ROBERT GRAY, Bookseller in King-street—and by N. HINGSTON, Fairfax-street, Alexandria.
LEE'S ELIXIR !
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthma, sore throats, and approaching consumptions. A single trial of this medicine will prove its efficacious quality in restoring a perspiration common to healthy people; it dislodges and expels the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthening the weakened vessels of the lungs, thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms of course are effectually and permanently conquered. The great number of cures performed in 1808 by this elegant and useful preparation, is sufficient to astonish and convince those that labor under colds, coughs, consumptions, &c. of being immediately relieved, without saying any thing of the many thousands benefitted in former years; however for the information of those persons, if any there be, that have not heard of the balsamic qualities of Lee's Elixir, we give the names of the following persons who are well known to our citizens in general as persons of known integrity and strict veracity. From the following certificates it will plainly appear, that a three year's consumption, a common cold or cough, are all with ease removed by Lee's Elixir.
Messrs. R. Lee and Son,
The superior qualities of your medicine, called Lee's Elixir, induces me to give you this certificate for publication, to point to my suffering fellow mortals the road to health, the most valuable of all earthly possessions. For upwards of three years I have been afflicted with a severe cough, tightness of the breast, lowness of spirits, and a gradual wasting of the flesh; having tried different medicines recommended for such cases, without receiving any real benefit; fortunately one of your advertisements was given to me—I immediately applied to Mr. Vance, 178, Market street, for some of your Elixir, which has contrary to the expectations of my friends restored me to my former good state of health. Any other information will be given by me.
George Harwood,
Market street, Baltimore
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
You are at liberty to publish for the good of others, the benefit I have received from your excellent preparation called Lee's Elixir. Being afflicted with violent pains in the breast, loss of appetite, and a debility of the whole system, which rendered me unable to attend to business, being advised to try your Elixir, I procured two bottles of Messieurs Warner and Hanna, which has entirely removed the complaint, and restored me to a perfect state of health. From the good effect of your Elixir I was led to suppose your other medicines were equally efficacious, which induced me to give your Worm Lozenges to my children, and with pleasure I inform you they had the desired effect. Any other information I shall give on application to me at my house in Sly's-street, Baltimore.
John Keller.
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
In December last I was attacked with a most violent cold, a severe cough and pains in the breast, which continued to grow worse, during which time my appetite failed, and my voice altered so much, that it was with the utmost exertion I could pronounce a single sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me, that much good had been done by the use of Lee's Elixir, advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs. Warner and Hanna, which I accordingly did—and to those persons unacquainted with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of the one bottle restored me to PERFECT HEALTH.
J. A. Smith,
Market street, Fell's Point.
