[FROM A LONDON PAPER.]
LA PLATA AND PARAGUAY.
The conquest of Buenos Ayres by a force apparently so inadequate to the extent and importance of such an achievement, naturally excites our admiration, while it claims from us some account of the fertile and immense country so happily annexed to the British empire.
Paraguay and La Plata, according to the most correct and authentic Spanish writer, is 1500 miles in length, and 1000 in breadth, and is situated between the latitudes of 12 and 37 deg. S. and 50 and 75 deg. W. long. containing at the least computation 1,000,000 of square miles. Buenos Ayres, the capital of the province of that name, lies in 40 deg. 35 min. S. lat. and 57 deg. 54 min. W. long. The province is generally termed the southern division of the vice royalty of La Plata, &c.
The advantages that may result to the British empire from the possession of this province are incalculable. The immense river La Plata is navigable at a considerable distance from the sea, and the bays and lakes afford a wonderful facility to foreign and inland commerce. There is one lake, called Cascaroes, more than 100 miles in length, a great part of which is navigable.
The barbarous and contracted policy of the Spaniards has induced them to suppress all accounts of the interior of this immense province; but in British hands its physical and moral advantages will soon be made manifest to the world. It opens the fairest prospects to commercial enterprise, which stimulated by British capital, will receive new energies, and open new channels for speculation.
Its conguity to Paraguay, Peru, and Chili give it such geographical advantages, and the salubrity of its climate tend to render it so valuable to us as a refreshing port, that it bids fair to consolidate the British power in both hemispheres.
The population of the province is very considerable, and its produce, of very prime quality, may be imported into Great Britain on terms that will enrich the colonial and British adventurer. The sugar, cotton, indigo, drugs, Peruvian bark, and cochineal, afford freights for some thousand tons of British shipping and there is no doubt, that when the interior is explored, botanical discoveries may be made of the most salutary nature.
Hitherto the barbarous policy of the Spaniards has induced them to destroy what they could not export, to the great impoverishment of the planter, and depreciation of commerce; but in British hands every man will derive those benefits which the God of Nature has blessed him with; and unless the spirit and enterprise of Englishmen become paralyzed (of which there is little danger) we may soon be enabled to convince its natives, that the day the British arms subjugated their province, was the epoch of their incipient prosperity.
Buenos Ayres likewise produces the finest tobacco in the world; its immense plains and rich soil ensure not only an exuberant, but an extensive crop. The tobacco company, established under the Spanish government, frequently divided from 10 to 15 per cent. on the shares. This valuable and useful article may be cultivated to an infinite advantage, and will save immense sums to the country, which are now paid for Virginia Tobacco, while it bids fair to afford employment to thousands of the colonists, who under the Spanish government were prohibited from interfering with the monopoly of the tobacco company.
Yesterday there was a conference at the chamber of the board of trade, between lord Auckland and several members of the cabinet; among whom were lords Grenville, H. Petty, Spencer, Ellenborough, Mr. Vansittart, &c. for the purpose of considering the trade with Buenos Ayres, of adopting such measures as are best calculated to promote the interest of the country, and of conferring on the people of the settlement commercial advantages.
The principals belonging to most of the respectable Spanish houses attended, at the particular request of lord Auckland, in order that they might assist with their opinions.
It was at first suggested, that neutrals should be admitted to participate in the trade; but the disadvantages that would accrue were so clearly pointed out, that the idea was abandoned. Had the trade been thrown open in this way, it would have given to the Americans a decided advantage over this or any other country. The
meeting, therefore, was of opinion, that the trade ought to be carried on in British bottoms exclusively.
Lord Auckland assured the merchants, that such neutrals as had already been favored with licenses to trade with Spanish ports, should meet with efficient protection; but government would reserve to itself the choice of granting or refusing licenses to neutrals in future. This point was not positively determined upon; but the prevailing opinion seemed to be, that neutrals, under no circumstance, would be permitted to trade, as it appeared to be the wish of government to proceed on a grand scale of national advantage. One of the measures in contemplation, or rather, we may say, agreed upon, is to lay a duty of twenty per cent. on all German linens brought for sale to Buenos Ayres, which may be considered equal to a prohibition. This is with a view of benefiting the Scotch and Irish linen trade, which is to be exempt from the above duty. The heavy duty on merchandise, with which the people in the settlement of Buenos Ayres have been for some time burthened, are to be entirely taken off, or lowered considerably, in order to encourage trade, and to ensure to the natives a commercial interest, which they would never lose sight of but with regret. Lord Auckland stated, that the board of trade would consider of all that had been said, and would forward the result of their deliberations to Buenos Ayres, for the guidance of those who were entrusted with the government of that colony.
Already the spirit of British commercial enterprise is actively engaged in preparations for commencing this new trade with South America—a trade which will take off immense quantities of our manufactures, and compensate for the restrictions imposed upon our commerce in those countries where French influence has the domination. All is bustle and expectation in the city, and large capitals are already embarking in this new source of commercial benefit.—
Two vessels were put up at Lloyd's yesterday for this trade, one of which, we understand, was instantly freighted by a single house; and the proprietors of a ship, now at Portsmouth, loaded with a valuable cargo, for the Cape of Good Hope, applied to the underwriters to have their policies altered, that the ship may proceed for Buenos Ayres. We need hardly add that the request was immediately complied with; indeed, so partial are the underwriters to this new channel for improving our sources of national industry, that they are taking the policies so low as to give guineas, to return eight, in the event of the vessels reaching their destination in safety.
We sincerely hope that in no event our government may ever listen to any proposition for restoring this important conquest. We ought to take a lesson from France. We have the same right to declare any of our foreign conquests "an integral and unalienable part of our dominions," as our insidious foe has to make such a declaration respecting conquests made in Europe; and the more the latter principle has been acted upon, the more necessary does it become that we should secure sources for our commerce beyond the reach of French interference. It may not be necessary however for this object that we should retain the sovereignty of every conquest which it may be desirable to keep from coming again into the possession of our rival or her allies. In this point of view France has also given us many examples, by which we ought to profit. Even while treaties are negotiating, she changes the government of other states, witness Italy, during the last negotiation, and Germany during the present, and then says, "We cannot enter into discussions which regard independent states, and interfere with arrangements adopted by those who alone have the right to decide upon them."
Establish the independence of South America; guarantee that independence; enter into an alliance with the new government; and, while necessary, keep a respectable British force there to enable them to repel any attempt that may again be made to subjugate them. Do this and you secure a source of wealthful commerce which will enable Britain to maintain a contest with France even single handed, till, in the natural course of things, the present scourge of the world shall be laid low in the dust, and the mighty fabric which he has been rearing, like that of Alexander, be broken in pieces by its own gigantic weight.
FROM THE SALEM REGISTER.
The following particulars, favored us by a gentleman lately arrived at this port from India, may not be uninteresting to the public:
The British government have commenced the humane attempt to give their colonies in the West Indies a race of free cultivators, with the intention of totally superseding the necessity of black slaves—and it appears the prospect of so desirable an event is very flattering indeed, which from a first essay recently made by the governor general of the British empire in the East Indies, makes the accomplishment of the object, in time, certain. There being many Chinese emigrants settled in Bengal, and at the English island of Pulo Penang, in the entrance of the straits of Malacca, these people were invited to emigrate to the island of Trinidad; and it seems, great numbers were disposed to embark for the Western world. The British government fitted out two ships, one from Calcutta, the other from Penang, who took on board as many as could be accommodated, and these are the ships noticed in the late papers as having arrived at Trinidad with "Artists" from India; but they are principally cultivators, instead of artists. Those who are conversant with history, well know the superabundant and numerous population of China is so great as to cause annually emigration from that empire to the eastern islands; even among the Malays, large colonies of Chinese are always found, and they are protected by them, and considered as a very useful people, on account of their laborious and industrious lives. They emigrate also considerably to the different European settlements in India, to some in great numbers. They appear to be well pleased with coming to this new country—and at this time there is the greatest famine in China that ever was known before; thousands perishing daily for the want of sustenance. The English are making considerable efforts to alleviate their distress, by shipping rice from their settlements. One house in Calcutta, it was said, had shipped 100,000 bags of rice; even the company ships were also loaded with the same for Canton.
The young emperor of China is a most excellent character and very justly popular; if a judgment may be formed from the commencement of his reign, he will be more like a father than a king, to his subjects.
He began his reign under very unfavorable circumstances. His father, the late emperor of China, was also a very good man, but being infirm, and advanced to a great age, being 85 years old at his decease, his prime minister, and great mandarins had the entire control of the government, which they exercised with a tyranny unprecedented in the annals of that empire; which created rebellion after rebellion, and reduced the country to its present distress.
The young emperor, at the risk of his own life (the minister being so powerful) immediately on ascending the throne, arrested the prime minister or his late father, and some of the great mandarins of state, and upon examining his treasure, found that by his extortion he had amassed a wealth far exceeding even the emperor's, particularly his pearls were larger and more numerous than the emperor's own. The emperor has published a very particular & interesting account of the discoveries he has made since the above arrest of the minister, which for the cruelty and distress that he has caused in the provinces, almost exceeds belief. The young emperor is very liberally disposed towards Europeans and other foreigners, and it is expected he will reduce or abolish the heavy burthen that has hitherto been imposed on foreign commerce in China.
As a proof of the liberal disposition of the young emperor, he has written a letter in his own hand, to Dr. Mackenzie, deputy surgeon general of Madras presidency, to send him on to China, some fresh vaccine matter, and a proper person to propagate it in his empire—it being his intention to give it every encouragement, as he very much approved of it.
The vaccine inoculation is much practised of late by the native inhabitants of the hither India, and greatly approved of there.

NEST OF BIRDS.
But what admirable providence is that which is displayed in the nature of Birds? Who can contemplate, without emotion, this divine beneficence, which bestows ingenuity on the weak, and foresight on the careless?
No sooner have the trees expanded their first blossoms, than a thousand diminutive
artisans begin their labor on every side. These convey long straws into the hole of an ancient wall; those construct bundlings in the windows of a church; others in the horse of his hair, and carry off the wool, torn by the jagged thorn from the back of the sheep. There, wood-cutters cross small twigs in the waving summit of a tree; here, spinsters collect silk upon a thistle. A thousand palaces are reared, and every palace is a nest; each nest witnesses charming metamorphoses; first, a brilliant egg, then a young one covered with down. This tender nursling becomes fledged; his mother instructs him by degrees to rise upon his bed; he soon acquires strength to perch upon the edge of his cradle, from which he takes a first survey of nature. With mingled terror and transport he drops down among his brothers and sisters, who have not beheld this magnificent spectacle, but summoned by the voice of his parent, he rises a second time from his couch, and this youthful monarch of the air, whose head is still encircled by the crown of infancy, already ventures to contemplate the undulating summits of the pines, and the abysses of verdure beneath the paternal oak. Encouraged by his mother, he trusts himself upon the branch; and, after the first step, all nature is his own. And yet, while the forest rejoices to see their new guest attempt his first flight through the atmosphere, an aged bird, who feels his strength forsake him, alights beside the current; there, solitary and resigned, he patiently awaits death, on the brink of the same stream where he sang his loves, and beneath the trees which still bear his voice with his harmonious posterity.
This is the proper place for remarking another law of nature.
In the class of small birds, the eggs are commonly painted with one of the colors of the male. The bulfinch builds in the hawthorn, the gooseberry and other bushes of our gardens; her eggs are slate colored, like the plumage of her back. We recollect having once found one of these nests in a rose bush; it resembled a shell of mother-of-pearl, containing four blue gems; a rose, bathed in the dews of morning, was suspended above it; the male bulfinch sat motionless on a neighboring shrub, like a flower of purple and azure. These objects were reflected in the water of a stream, together with the shade of an aged walnut tree, which served as a background to the scene; and behind which appeared the ruddy tints of Aurora. In this little picture, the Almighty conveyed to us an idea of the grace with which he has decked all nature.
Among the larger birds the law respecting the color of the egg varies; it is guided by more important harmonies, in proportion to the vigor of the animal to which it belongs. We suspect that in general the egg is white among the birds, the male of which has several females, or among those whose plumage has no fixed color for the species. In the class which frequents the waters and the forests and build their nests, the one on the sea the other in the summits of lofty trees, the egg is generally of a bluish green; and if we may be allowed the expression, of the same tint as the elements by which it is surrounded. Certain birds which reside on the tops of ancient towers, and deserted steeples, have eggs green like ivy, or reddish like the old building they inhabit. It is therefore a law which may be considered as invariable, that the bird displays in her egg the livery of her loves, and the emblem of her manners and her destinies.—By the mere inspection of this brittle monument, we are enabled to tell to what tribe it belonged, what were its costume, its manners and habits; if it passed days of danger on the seas, or if more happy, it led a pastoral life; if it was tame or wild, and inhabited the mountains or the valley.
To be continued.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13.
At the moment of putting our paper to press the Northern Mail arrived, and brought the following INTERESTING ADVICES. This will account for the late hour at which our Subscribers will receive their papers.
POSTSCRIPT.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 3.
Latest from Europe.
We announce to the readers of the Mercantile Advertiser, and the public, the important intelligence that hollis-

ties have commenced on the continent of Europe, between the Prussians and the French; and that, after nine days successive and successful fighting, in which the Prussians were defeated with dreadful carnage, the emperor of the French has arrived with his victorious army before the city of Berlin. The duke of Brunswick, prince Ferdinand of Prussia, the prince of Hohenlohe, and many other officers of rank, are said to be among the number of those who in French phraseology have 'bitten the dust.'
We are indebted for the detail of these events to the arrival at this port of the ship Eugenia, captain Boden, in 37 days from Amsterdam, who furnished us with a file of Dutch papers to the latter end of October, and of London papers to the 27th.
From these papers we have selected from amongst many others, equally interesting, the following very important articles:
HAGUE, Oct. 17. Last night his excellency the secretary of state received the important intelligence, that hostilities have commenced between the French and Prussians; and that repeated and desperate engagements have already taken place between the two armies. Fortunately, however, the result of them has proved entirely favorable to the arms of France. Prince Lewis Ferdinand, brother of the king of Prussia, who, on one of the above occasions commanded in person, is killed; and the further advantages over the enemy on the first occasion, consist in a considerable number of prisoners of war and 32 pieces of cannon.
JENAS, Oct. 15—5 o'clock, A. M. The battle of Jenas, fought yesterday, is one of the most remarkable in history. The Prussians amounted to the number of 150,000; they lost 200 pieces of cannon and 30 stand of colors, besides 28,000 prisoners of war. The duke of Brunswick and general Von Ruchel are killed. Prince Henry of Prussia is badly wounded. A great number of generals, besides many officers of rank, are wounded. The loss of the French army is comparatively infinitely less; yet we have in the hospitals of Jenas 1200 wounded, and in those of Naumburg 1500; there is no other general killed on our part than the general of brigade Billy, a brave man. The French army has acquired great glory.
Marshal Davoust, who was stationed in the narrow passages of Koefen and before Naumburg, left the enemy no time to tarry; he fought the whole day and threw more than 60,000 men into confusion, which were commanded by Mollendorff, Kaeruth and the king in person.
The queen of Prussia was pursued by a troop of horse. She was obliged to take shelter in Weimar, and three hours before our advanced posts arrived there, she had fled; she took a road which was full of our troops, and it is therefore very likely that she has been overtaken.
Our troops reached Weimar in the evening, pursuing the rear guard of the enemy in the left flank; on the left marshal Davoust pursued them as far as Neustadt, his head quarters were at Eikardsburg this morning. It is supposed that the enemy is endeavoring to collect his forces on the side of Frankerhausen in order to reach Magdeburg. The enemy must have suffered a terrible loss, which will not be ascertained until late. Six of their generals are prisoners of war besides a great number of colonels.
GERA, Oct. 13. The battle of Schleitz, which opened the campaign, and was very unfortunate for the Prussian army, and of Saalfeld, which was fought in the following day, have occasioned a great depression of the enemy's spirits. All the intercepted letters say that the same sensations prevailed at Erfurth,
where the king and queen, and duke of Brunswick, still are; and that they are continually consulting what line of conduct to adopt. But, while they consult, the French army advances.
HAMBURG, Oct. 21. The queen of Prussia arrived at Berlin on the 17th, and on the day following departed again for Stettin; or, according to other accounts, for Costrin.
The French seem to have taken peculiar pains to mark the Prussian officers, by which a great number of them were killed, and the confusion which finally resulted from it.
MAGDEBURG, Oct. 18. The battles which were fought on the 14th, 15th, and 16th inst. near Weimar, Kosin and Vaumburg, have annihilated the Prussian army; and yesterday the army of reserve, under prince Eugene of Wirtemberg, was defeated by marshal Davoust, between Lachstadt and Halle. The French are before Halle, and will probably to-morrow visit our city which is full of confused military. Yesterday the king arrived here, but set out again for Berlin, and at this moment an adjutant general count Panenzien is passing thro' this city for Weimar.

JENA, Oct. 15. The battle of Jena has erased the shame acquired by the battle of Rosbach, and thus in 7 days terminated a campaign, which has quenched the dreadful thirst for war that tormented the court of Prussia.
The position of the army on the 13th inst. was as follows: The duke of Berg and marshal Davoust stood with the corps at Naumburg, having divisions of their troops at Leipzig and Halle.
The corps of the prince Ponte Corva was on its march for Naumburg, and that of marshal Lannes was posted at Jena, while the corps of Augereau was stationed at Kahla and that under Ney at Roda.
The head quarters were at Gera. The French emperor was on his march to Jena. The corps of marshal Soult was on its march from Gera to take a nearer position where the road from Jena and from Naumburg meet.
The enemy's army was posted as follows: The king of Prussia commenced his operations on the 9th October by advancing his right wing from Frankfort, his centre for Wurzburg and his left wing for Bamberg. All the divisions of his army were prepared for the execution of this plan; but the French army, turning his left wing, was in a few days posted at Lobenstein, Schütz, Gera, and Naumburg. The Prussian army being turned, fixed on the days of the 9, 10, 11, and 12th, to concentrate her divisions, and on the 13th the whole army presented itself in order of battle between Cappelldorff and Auerstadt to the amount of nearly 150,000 men.
On the 13th at 2 o'clock P. M. the Emperor returned to Jena and from a small hill occupied by our advance posts viewed the positions of the enemy who seemed to manoeuvre for the purpose of forcing on the next day the narrow passage of the Saal. The enemy made a most obstinate resistance on the road leading to Jena and Weimar. Davoust was ordered to turn him in flanks, while the Prince Ponte Corva was separated to attack him in the rear.
The Emperor collected the whole force of Marshal Lannes on the above hill in order of battle.
The troops of General Ney and Soult, marched the whole night. A thick fog obscured the following day and the Emperor guarded the infantry against the formidable attacks of the Prussian cavalry. The riflemen commenced the action and the fire of musketry was brisk. Good as the position of the enemy was he was dislodged from the same and the French army formed in order of battle in the valleys.
The enemy only waited for the fog to disperse to commence a general action. A division of 5000 men intended to take the defiles of Hoeseen, and to cover Naumburg, but was prevented by marshal Davoust. The two other divisions, 80000 men in number together, drew up in order of battle in front of the French line.
The fog covered both armies for the space of two hours, but when it cleared up, the two armies had a view of each other at the distance of a cannon shot.
The enemy's army was numerous and exhibited a handsome body of cavalry; his manoeuvres were executed with exactness and swiftness. Having made an advance on our left wing marshal Augereau was charged to throw him back again, and in less than an hour the attack was general. 250,000 to 300,000 men with 7 or 800 pieces of cannon, spread death every where before them, and exhibited a very rare spectacle. The Emperor always kept a strong body of reserve with him, besides his imperial guard.
At this interesting crisis a division of the French cavalry arrived also, and formed a line of battle in reserve in conjunction with the above. The whole body now advanced, and together with the main body, soon threw the enemy. The same took post again, but was completely thrown into confusion by a fresh attack from the Duke of Berg, with his heavy horse and dragoons.
The result of the battle was the taking of 30 or 40,000 prisoners, 25 or 30 stand of colours, 300 pieces of cannon, besides magazines and stores.
The enemy is supposed to have lost 25 or 30,000 killed and wounded. General Kollendorff and Prince Henry of Prussia are wounded; the duke of Brunswick and general Ruchel are killed.
Our loss is estimated at 1000 or 1100 dead, and 3000 wounded. The Duke of Berg has at this moment enclosed Erfurth, which is garrisoned by a corps of the enemy commanded by Mollendorff and the prince of Orange.
NUREMBERG, October 18. A great number of French wounded soldiers have arrived at Bamenzth, and many hospitals are established here.
A letter from Amsterdam, dated the 20th October, says, "The war with Prussia is at an end, and the French are at Berlin in nine days. An army of 150,000 men have been destroyed and a kingdom taken. I think great operations are still to be carried on."
FROM A LONDON PAPER OF OCT. 27. It is with very great concern that we are obliged to check the pleasing expectations that were entertained yesterday of the success of the Prussian army. The accounts which were circulated in the Sunday papers, and received with such a natural avidity, related merely to the two wings of the respective armies. The engagement which followed between the main bodies has, we fear, terminated to the advantage of the French.
This intelligence has been communicated in a despatch from Lord Morpeth. His Lordship mentions, that the action, which took place on the 14th inst. was most severely contested. The Prussians sustained very great loss. The Duke of Brunswick was wounded, and had been taken to Magdeburg. His Prussian Majesty is stated to have had two horses shot under him. These are the only particulars which have reached us.
The following are the circumstances which appear to have led to this general engagement, as extracted from the Hamburg mail, due on Wednesday, which arrived yesterday morning.
Hostilities, as it has been before stated, began on the 9th inst. but no affair of importance took place until the 10th or 11th when a very warm action was fought at Saalfeld.
Prince Louis Ferdinand, who commanded an advanced corps of the left wing of the Prussian army, was stationed at that town to defend the passage of the Saal. His orders, it is said, were to maintain his position to the last extremity, for the purpose of affording the prince of Hohenlohe an opportunity of executing a bold movement which he had planned against the right of the enemy.
Prince Louis bravely performed his duty, defending the bridge during the greater part of the day against a force three times more numerous than his own; he had only 6,000 under his command and the French were estimated at 20,000. In the end however the enemy prevailed. Prince Louis was killed, and the passages of the Saal forced, and the Prussians compelled to retreat, with the loss of several men and some cannon. These are the most authentic particulars which we have been able to extract from the mail respecting the result of this first affair, which was produced by an attempt of the French to turn the right wing of the Prussians, and destroy the considerable magazines which they had formed at Naumburg.
The enemy, encouraged by this first success, pressed forward with their characteristic impetuosity, which brought on an action, in which it appears that a large proportion of the respective armies was engaged.
We cannot, from the accounts brought by the mail, ascertain the day on which this battle was fought, but the result of it is stated to have been decidedly in favor of the Prussians. Upwards of 20,000 French are reported either to have fallen in the field or to have been prisoners. The official account had not reached Berlin when the post for Hamburg left that city, but the fact is placed beyond all doubt, by a short note which was received from her Prussian majesty.
During the confusion incidental to so general an affair, attended with such consequences, a small corps of French cavalry, which was separated from the main body, penetrated to Leipzig; and employing a very allowable ruse de guerre, ordered quarters to be provided for several thousand men, and exacted a small contribution from the town. This was on the night of the 12th; it may be, therefore, presumed, that the action in which the Prince of Hohenlohe was so successful, was fought early on that day. It is probable that a series of actions took place up to the 14th, when the general engagement was fought, the result of which has been unfavourable to the Prussians.
Sixty thousand Russians are said to have entered the Prussian territory. If they have advanced as far as Dantzig, they may prevent the French from following up their successes, if they have only entered South Prussia, we fear they will not reach Saxony in sufficient time to enable the Prussians to maintain possession of that country.
The Prussian majesty addressed a Proclamation to his army, the same day on which his manifesto was published. It has all the energy and spirit of that admirable composition. Every circumstance, every sentiment, which could excite the enthusiasm and incite the ardour of the army, is compressed into this vigorous appeal to its loyalty and heroism.
An Austrian Courier, who arrived yesterday morning from Vienna, met at Leipsic a Prussian officer on his way to Berlin, who had been sent from the army with the intelligence, that after different stages of peril, in one of which Prince Louis Ferdinand lost his life, Prince Hohenlohe, by a well planned manoeuvre, succeeded in cutting off 20,000 men from the main French army, the greater part of whom were made prisoners. Preparations were making at Magdeburg, to receive 6,000 of them. The affair took place near Jena.

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 is 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 of 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. Moithier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the with yet how low 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, Bladensburg-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 avertial 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.
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Spasms, 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 or often—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 or 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 McCubbin, Esq. Mrs. McCubbin, 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 as 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 Dobbin 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, Harnes-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 Dobbin 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.
