RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. "We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good inten- tions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with at- tention. The present edition of this excel- lent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edi- tion of this valuable work. The improve- ments made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this ac- count of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, espe- cially to young readers, who love entertain- ment mingled with instruction." Evangelical Magazine, Oct 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplifi- cation of more than seventy remarkable char- acters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wander- ing; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths." Gentleman's Magazine, Nov. 1803. Goldsmith's Grammar of Geography. Pike's Arithmetic, large and small. Hymns and Spiritual Songs. School Bibles and Testaments, Spelling- Book, Primers, Bonnet-Boards Writing- Paper.

COPIES AND EXTRACTS OF LETTERS FROM GENERAL ARMSTRONG TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE, WITH COPIES OF THEIR ENCLOSURES
General Armstrong to Mr. Madison.
PARIS, 17th Feb. 1808.
(Extract)
"Enclosed is a copy of the answer from the minister of marine to my letter of the 13th instant, in relation to the sale of a part of the cargo of the ship James Adams. It would now appear, that the promises of forbearance made by another department are applicable only to vessels sequestered in the ports and not to such as have been captured at sea."
5TH DIVISION OF PRIZES.
Extract of a letter of the Minister of Marine to general Armstrong, dated Paris, 17th Feb. 1808.
TRANSLATION.
"I observe to you moreover that the question now is not as to a vessel sequestered in port; but as to a prize made at sea, and seized for a contravention of the decree of 17th of December last; that the provisional sale ordered on account of the "average" is for the interest as well of the captured as of the captors, and that it is directed according to the case provided for by the regulation of the 2d Prairial, 11th year."
General Armstrong to Mr. Madison.
PARIS, 1st Dec. 1807.
SIR, I have this moment received a letter from his majesty's minister of foreign relations, of which I subjoin a copy, and am, sir, &c. &c.
JOHN ARMSTRONG.
Mr. Champagny to General Armstrong.
TRANSLATION.
MILAN, 25th Nov. 1807.
SIR, The execution of the measures taken against the English commerce has frequently caused reclamations on your part. The intention of his majesty without doubt, is, that every particular abuse may be repressed; but the federal government cannot make any complaint against the measures themselves, and while the United States allow that their vessels may be visited by England, that she may drag them to her ports and turn them from their destination, while they do not oblige England to respect their flag and the merchandise which it covers—while they permit that power to apply to them the absurd rules of blockade which it has set up with a view of injuring France—they bind themselves by that tolerance towards England to allow also the application of the measures of reprisals which France is obliged to employ against her. His majesty regrets, without doubt, to have been forced to recur to such measures: he knows also that the commercial classes may have to suffer in consequence of them, particularly those who having habitual relations with England, using a common language, and often mixing their interests, might more frequently occasion an apprehension of some commercial connivance with the English, inasmuch as they would have greater facility in covering it. This circumstance made it necessary to use towards them precautions more exact, and an unceasing watchfulness, in order not to be exposed to abuses, which might result from a less constant vigilance. But it is not to France, it is to England that these inconveniences to individuals ought to be imputed. She it is who has given the example of measures unjust, illegal and infringing on the sovereignty of nations. To oblige her to renounce them it has become necessary to combat her with her own arms: in violating the rights of all nations she has united them all by a common interest, and it is for them to have recourse to force against her—to forbid her the search ( la visite ) of their vessels—the taking away of their crews—and to declare themselves against measures which wound their dignity and their independence. The unjust pretensions of England will be kept up as long as those whose rights she violates are silent—and what government has had more to complain of against her than the United States? All the difficulties which have given rise to your reclamations, sir, would be removed with ease, if the government of the U. States, after complaining of the injustice and violence of England, took with the whole continent the part of guaranteeing itself there-
rom. England has introduced into the maritime war an entire disregard for the rights of nations: it is only in forcing her to a peace, that it is possible to recover them. On this point the interests of all nations is the same—all have their honor and their independence to defend.
Accept, sir, &c.
CHAMPAGNY.
Gen. Armstrong to Mr. Madison.
PARIS, 5th April, 1808.
[Extract.]
"I received the dispatches you did me the honor to address to me by Mr. Lewis on the 26th ult.
"Though I had complained often and earnestly of both the principles and operation of the emperor's decrees of November, 1806, and December, 1807, (having written at least twenty notes on the different cases which have arisen under them) yet as the president's orders were express, that on receipt of your letter I should superadd to whatever representations might have been previously made, a formal remonstrance against those decrees, I did not lose a moment in writing and presenting the enclosed note; the terms of which will I hope appear to be such as were proper or necessary to the case, and calculated either to obtain a recal of the illegal measures, or to leave in full force the rights accruing to the U. S. from a failure on the part of France to recal them. To this note I have not yet received an answer, nor have I reason to expect one soon; as the emperor has left Paris (it is said for Spain) and had, at no time before he set out, indicated any alteration in the views which originally produced the decrees in question.
"Mr. Pinkney found means (in the return to the continent of M. D'Alopeus) to communicate the president's views on the subject of the general embargo, and particularly the desire he had that it should not be considered as a measure of hostility against any foreign nation. Some explanations of this kind were perhaps necessary in England where, from the misrepresentations of our own people, the character of the policy was likely to be misunderstood; but as neither the same nor any other reason existed for making them here, none have been offered."
[To be continued.]
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, November 17.
EMBARGO.
Mr. Livermore said he held in his hand several petitions from inhabitants of the state of Massachusetts, signed by between 4 and 5000 persons praying for a repeal of the embargo laws.
One of the petitions (from Newburyport) was read.
[In this petition the following sentence was twice read, by desire of one of the members:
"Your memorialists would further represent to your honorable body that they have witnessed with great surprise and alarm a systematic attempt among the enemies of the people to excite a belief that our nation has it in its power only a choice of evils: that an embargo, or war with Great Britain is our only alternative; an opinion which appears to your memorialists wholly devoid of foundation. Whatever injuries the U. States may have sustained from that power, we cannot conceive that a war with her would be either necessary or just, whilst she evinces on her part a disposition for an amicable settlement of all subjects of controversy; and especially when we view her as almost alone maintaining a contest, on the successful issue of which depend the rights and liberties of the civilised world."
Mr. Livermore said as the other petitions were precisely similar, he moved that their reading be dispensed with, and that they be referred to the committee of the whole to whom several resolutions on the subject have been referred.
The Speaker proceeding to put the question on reference,
Mr. D. R. Williams said, as he understood the same sentiments were repeated in all, and as there were sentiments expressed in the first which he could not understand, he called for the reading of another of them.
Mr. Livermore said he had no objection.
Another of the petitions was then read and they were all referred, without opposition, to the committee to whom several resolutions on the same subject have been referred.
Mr. Livermore moved that the petitions be printed—Negatived, 17 only rising in favor of it.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Mr. Macon said already had many resolutions been submitted to the consideration of the house on the subject of our foreign relations, and the embargo; some for a total and some for a partial repeal of it. As none of the motions had met his entire approbation, and as he considered this as one of the most important questions that could come before the house, he wished to submit to the house two or three propositions; which he wished to take a course different from that which had been given to the others on the same subject.
I have been astonished (said Mr. M.) to see so many resolutions on the subject of the embargo, and none contemplating its entire continuance. Is the American nation ready to bow the neck? Are we ready to submit to be taxed by Great Britain and France as if we were their colonies? Where is that spirit which for this reason separated us from the nations of Europe? Where is that spirit which enforced a simple resolution of the old Congress, not then binding upon the people, as a law from heaven? Is it extinct? Is it lost to this nation? Has the love of gain superceded every other motive in the breasts of Americans? Shall the majority govern, or shall a few wicked and abandoned men drive this nation from the ground it has taken? Is it come to this, that a law constitutionally enacted, even after a formal decision in favor of its constitutionality, cannot be enforced? Shall the nation give way to an opposition of a few, and those the most profligate part of the community? I think the stand we took last year was a proper one; and I am for taking every measure for enabling the nation to maintain it. Just as our measure is beginning to operate, just as provisions are becoming scarce in the West Indies and elsewhere, notwithstanding the evasions of our law, we are called upon to repeal it. I should not have made this motion at this time, had it not been for the petition just presented. When I stand here, sir, charged by a part of the community with being one of "the enemies of the people," notwithstanding I am willing to commit the petition, treating it with that respect which I conceive to be due from us to the prayer of any portion of the people, I wish my sentiments on this subject to be seen.
A proclamation has been issued by one of the belligerents since the passage of our embargo law, sir. Look at it. What says it? Clearance or no clearance, we will receive any neutral vessel into our ports; and in speaking of neutrals, recollect that there is no nation in the civilized world that has a claim to the title except ourselves. This proclamation then tells our citizens "Evade the laws of your country, and we will receive and protect you."
If the mad powers of Europe had entered into compact to injure us as much as they could, they could not have taken a more direct course to it. I consider them both alike, and the measures I would take would place them both on the same footing. I have made my resolutions as general as possible, to give all latitude to the committee.
Mr. M. read his resolutions as follows:
Resolved, That the committee appointed on so much of the President's message as relates to foreign relations, be instructed to enquire into the expediency of excluding by law from the ports, harbors, and waters of the United States, the armed ships or vessels of all foreign nations who, as belligerents have in force any orders or decrees violating the lawful commerce of the United States as a nation.
Resolved, That the same committee be instructed to enquire into the expediency of prohibiting by law the entry into the ports, harbors, and waters of the United States, any ship or vessel belonging to, or coming from any place in the possession of any of the above mentioned powers; and also, the importation of any goods, wares, or merchandise, the growth or manufacture of any of the dominions of said powers.
Resolved, That the same committee be instructed to enquire into the expediency of amending the laws laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States.
[Mr. Macon's remarks to be continued to-morrow.]
FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
The following is handed to us as the outlines of the new order of things, which is advocated at Washington, in the ministerial parties, as the most eligible in the present crisis. We have subjoined a few notes in a very concise form, to them. If the gentleman should have misapprehended any of the conversations, by giving a character of general approbation to projects, which were confined to a few only of the addle-headed politicians, who figure in the management

our destinies, it must be attributed to tributed to any thing rather than the want eracity in him. Generally we suppose capacity for observation would not suf- him to fall into material errors.
SKETCH.
 1. To prohibit intercourse by land and with all foreign powers. [This is, in other words, a continuance of the embargo with new rigors in the execution.]  2. To recall our ministers, consuls and agents from all foreign powers. [This we had confirmed by a letter from Wash- ington.]  3. To prohibit the importation of goods and merchandise in foreign bottoms after the 1st day of May next. Vessels arriving at that date to be allowed to depart with their cargoes, but not to land. [Mr. Eppes already proposed this in substance.]  4. To reduce the salary of the president 3000 dollars per annum. [Money being given to democrats, as well as others, would be a wonderful sacrifice.]  5. To abolish the department of state on the 4th March. [The president might perhaps perform the duties in per- son.]  6. To reduce the salary of the secretary of the treasury and reorganize this depart- ment, so as to abolish what is useless, and incorporate what is proper to be preserved in the department of state. [Praiseworthy economy and economy.]  7. To abolish the office of the secretary of the navy, and assign the duties of this office to the secretary of war, whose salary to be reduced. [What becomes of friend Robert?]  8. All officers of the custom-houses to be discharged from and after the 4th day of March, except the collectors of the ports of Boston, New-York, Philadelphia, Balti- more, Norfolk and Charleston. The navy officers of the U. States are to execute the revenue laws in all the other ports, under the collectors. [If this reduction had been made before the election, so much less would have been used, as might have been much to hazard.]  9. The payment of dividends and inter- est to foreigners to be suspended from and after the 1st January next. [I hope this is a mistake. But Jay's treaty was highly resented for forbidding sequestrations, which the ruling party considered not unjust in principle on certain occasions.]  10. A land tax to be substituted for du- ties on commerce, to operate after the year 1809. [Very probable, except as to the rate; for a land tax must operate before, and the treasury boxes will ring with empti- ness.]  11. Internal navigation to be encouraged, so as to render the intercourse between the states as secure as possible from the chance of interruption by a foreign force—[and it might be added, to prevent vessels from be- ing blown off the coast with cargoes.]  12. Domestic manufactures to be encour- aged and patronized by the government.  13. The per diem allowance and other expenses of congress to be reduced. [Mi- rable dictu!] 
FROM THE FEDERAL GAZETTE.
The designing and tyrannical conduct of the French government towards the U. S. at length permitted to appear before the American people. Before the publication of these documents, we had scarcely any thing but the conjectures of the federal wri- ters, which, though now confirmed, even beyond their fullest extent, were generally contradicted by the friends of the admini- stration.
It is to be feared that the length of these documents will deter many from perusing them with attention; but I earnestly solicit the friends of neutrality and good order, not only to read them themselves, but to recom- mend them to their neighbors, and especi- ally such as are not in the habit of reading federal papers.
In comparing the remonstrances of the New York minister with the instructions of the Virginia secretary, the public will be able to appreciate the independent stand made by the late friends of administration of the state of New York, and the reasons why those documents were not permitted to be seen, until after it was thought the e- lection of Mr. Madison, and the exclusion of Col. Monroe, general Clinton, or general Mackney, from the Presidency was secur- ed.
Able pens will pursue the fortuous writ- ings of the champion of democratic diplo- macy; but permit me, whilst the subject is fresh on the minds of the people, to raise the mirror in which they may at once have a full length view of his deformity. It shall not be by subtle logic, much less by muingo; out of his own mouth shall he be judged, and without further preface.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Madison to Mr. Erskine, the British minister, dated March the 25th, 1808.
"At the date even of the latter orders of November 11, (1807) it appears that the only aggression which had then occurred (the condemnation of the Horizon the 16th Oc- tober) was pretty certainly unknown to the British government, and could therefore have no share in producing this alledged re- taliation.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Madison to Mr. Armstrong, the American minister at Pa- ris, dated the 22d May, 1807.
"But notwithstanding the precaution, there are proofs that the W. India priva- teers have under color of the edict (French decree of 21st Nov. 1806) committed depre- dations, which will constitute just claims of redress from that government. Mr. Erving has forwarded a Spanish decree also, avow- edly pursuing the example and the views of the French emperor. The terms of this decree are even more vague, or rather more broad than those of the prototype; and if not speedily recalled or corrected, will doubtless extend the scene of spoliations al- ready begun in that quarter, and of course thicken the cloud that hangs over the amity of the two nations."

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT WASHING- TON.
FRIDAY, November 18.
I have nothing to day worth communi- cating. The House were engaged on pri- vate or uninteresting business, until half- after 12. They then resolved themselves into a committee of the whole on the bill abridging the powers of territorial gover- nors. This bill takes from the territorial governors the power of proroguing and dis- solving the assemblies. Its passage was op- posed by Messrs. Bibb and Troup, and supported by Mr. Poindexter. The com- mittee reported progress—and were refused leave to sit again. Mr. Troup then moved for an indefinite postponement of the bill.—On this motion Mr. Poindexter called for the ayes and noes. They were—Ayes 57— Noes 52.
The House then adjourned till Monday.

A letter from Halifax, dated Nov. 10 received by the Cattle, says:—"A ves- sel arrived yesterday from Newfoundland. The captain mentions the arrival of a brig there (belonging to Messrs. Tobias of this town) from Cadiz—by which, verbal ac- counts were received to the last of Septem- ber or 1st of October. At which time the Spaniards continued very successful, and orders were given by the correspondent in Cadiz to send the brig back again with a cargo as early as possible."

AURORA EXTRAORDINARY.
HAVANA, Oct. 22.
Extract from the Mexico extra Gazette, of the 16th Sept. 1808.
"Proclamation posted on all the corners of this capital at seven in the morning, by order of government:
"Inhabitants of Mexico, of all classes and conditions! Necessity is not subjected to ordinary laws. The people have seized the person of his excellency the Viceroy. They have demanded his resignation for reasons of utility and general good. They have convoked last night to the royal as- sembly, the illustrious Archbishop and other authorities, who have yielded to the urgen- cy of the case, and separated the Viceroy from all authority; it has fallen in conform- ity to the royal order of the 30th of Octo- ber, 1806, on the field marshal don Pedro Garibay, until the provisional letters of in- struction are opened. He is already in pos- session of the chief command. Be tranquil and without apprehension. You are for the present commanded by a chief of known re- putation and with whose probity you are acquainted. Rely on the vigilance of the Royal assembly; all will end in your bene- fit. Disturbances can only serve to divide our minds and create damage which may be irremediable. All this is assured by the a- bove-mentioned chief ad interim, the Royal Council, and other authorities which have concurred.
Published by command of the most ex- cellent Señor, regent of the royal council, the illustrious archbishop, &c.
FRANCIS XIMENES.
At ten o'clock the new chief took the accustomed oath, in the council chamber, with the usual ceremonies prescribed by law. At eleven he was acknowledged as supreme commander of New Spain by all the Authorities.
The people are in the most satisfactory state of tranquility."
We copy from a flaming democratic paper, one paragraph, for the gratification of such citizens as do not see the papers on that side.
[Bal. Fed. Gazette.
From the Whig.
"The tories and tory prints should make "the most of their time—for it is short.— "A line must soon be drawn between the "friends and enemies of the country. It "depends entirely on the degree of auda- city, prudence or imprudence, which will "characterize the latter, whether it [the "line] be marked by tar, and feathers , or "by the sword " [!!! "Understood."] "Good Mr. Murderer, pray stick easy!"
Congress, or some member of Congress, contemplate an additional army of twenty thousand men. We had originally about four thousand: recently added, six thousand total, including the additional twenty thousand said to be contemplated, thirty thousand.
The annual expence of maintaining thirty thousand men, at a dollar a day, which is perhaps an under calculation, would be at least eleven millions of dollars
The whole Revenue of the United States, in the year 1800, was seven millions of dol- lars. [American Citizen.
SOMETHING QUEER.
The Richmond Enquirer contains an ex- tract of a letter from a Democratic member of Congress, which, after virtually acknow- ledging that the Embargo will be persevered in, concludes with the following remarkable (we hope they are not prophetic) words:
"Nero fiddled while Rome was burning; "and like the rage of Achilles, "No prayers, no healing art, "E'er bent that fierce inexorable heart."
The British have now in their navy, cap- tured from their enemies, 232 vessels, of which 68 are of the line! This is exclusive of the Russian fleet lately captured in the Tagus.
[Salem Gazette.
Christening. —In Georgia, (Vt.) a daugh- ter of Mr. Alpheus Hardwick, by the name of Embargo : The reason given by the fa- ther, who is a good democrat, for im- posing this ludicrous name upon his only child is rather singular, viz. he wishes ever to have a living memorandum before his eyes of one of the best political measures to en- rich the country.

Valuable Family Medicines. The following well known genuine Medicines, from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by  James Kennedy, sen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, And no where else in Alexandria.  Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS , prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store , No. 56 Maiden Lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly gratifying to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in the most situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney. During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills , prepared by the late Mr. Lee , whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY , No. 145, Cherry street, New York
Hamilton's Grand Restorative,
Recommended as an invaluable Medicine, for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any destructive intemperance, the unskilful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleet, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.
Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
Which there is reason to believe, have, within eight years past cured upwards of two hundred thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from WORMS and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.

Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops. NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—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 unremitted efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their 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 to 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, 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 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.
