OR
The NEW MAN OF FEELING.
By WILLIAM GODWIN. September 18.

MESSAGE
From the President of the United States, respecting the application of Hamet Caramalli, ex-bashaw of Tripoli.
[CONCLUDED.]
I have now to acquaint you with an occurrence in our affairs, interesting in itself and momentous, as relates to your situation. In consequence of recent advices from Tripoli, I have thought it my duty to state to the consul general, col. Lear (now at this place) my candid opinion that the present is a moment highly favorable to treat for peace, and a communication has this moment been handed me from that gentleman, expressing his determination to meet the overture lately made by the reigning bashaw, so far as to found on it the commencement of a negotiation, and to proceed to Tripoli in the Essex frigate, in the course of this week. From a variety of concurring circumstances, the present appears to be a period propitious to such a step, and I cannot help indulging sanguine hopes that a very short time will restore captain Bainbridge and his unfortunate companions to freedom and their country. It would be useless in me to say anything on the effect which this measure must needs have on your situation and determinations; it is a measure which was anticipated in my letter to you by captain Hull, and as such, the intelligence of it will not, I presume, reach you unprepared. The interests of Sidi Hamet will not be overlooked. It is with colonel Lear's express sanction that I state to you his intention to endeavor at stipulating some conditions for the unfortunate exile, provided this can be done without any considerable sacrifice of national advantage on our part, and without giving up points that are essential.
I have sent by lieutenant Evans 2000 Spanish dollars, which he is directed to deliver to you or captain Hull. This sum will serve to extinguish any little engagements you may have contracted at Derne.
I am extremely anxious for further intelligence from you, and remain, With much respect, &c.
(Signed)
S. BARRON.
Extract of a letter from Robert Dennison, secretary to the commander of the Mediterranean squadron, to the secretary of the navy, dated
MALTA, 22d May, 1805.
It appears, by a variety of letters which have been received, that the bashaw is seriously disposed and earnestly desirous for peace with the U. States, and what confirms this idea beyond all doubt is the receipt by col. Lear, of a letter, written at the express solicitation of the bey, by the Spanish consul, with overtures for opening a negotiation, and accompanying a teschera or passport, under the bey's seal, guaranteeing the inviolability of any person or persons sent to Tripoli to treat of peace. These direct evidences of a pacific disposition in the bashaw were a few days ago prefaced by a communication to commodore Barron from Mr. Nissen, the Danish consul, written at the desire of the minister Sidi Mahomet Doghies, expressing the minister's sincere and earnest wish for the re-establishment of peace, and recommending that a person should be sent over immediately to commence a negotiation. In consequence of these repeated and unequivocal manifestations of a disposition, on the part of the enemy, to accommodate differences, the commander in chief thought it his duty officially to communicate to the consul general his opinion that the present moment is favorable for opening a negotiation, and the latter having expressed his coincidence therewith, the measure has been agreed upon, and col. Lear is making arrangements to proceed, on board the Essex frigate, to the coast of Tripoli, in the course of 2 or 3 days. Commodore Barron entertains the most sanguine hopes of the happy issue of this measure, and anticipates, with not less confidence than pleasure, the speedy emancipation of capt. Bainbridge and his suffering companions. I think it is not hazardous too much to say there is scarcely a doubt but the business will be honorably and satisfactorily terminated in less than a fortnight.
Article 3d of the preliminary articles of a treaty of peace to be entered into between the president and citizens of the United States of America, on one part, and the bashaw, bey and subjects of Tripoli, in Barbary, on the other part.
Upon the conclusion of a peace, as aforesaid, between the United States and the regency of Tripoli, all the forces of the United States which have been, and may be, in hostility against the bashaw of Tripoli, in the province of Derne, or else-
where, within the dominions of the said bashaw, shall be withdrawn therefrom, and no supplies shall be given by, or in behalf of the said United States, during the continuance of the peace aforesaid, to any of the subjects of the said bashaw, who may be in hostility against him, in any part of his dominions; and the Americans will use all means in their power to persuade the brother of the said bashaw, who is co-operating with them at Derne, &c. to withdraw from the territory of the said bashaw of Tripoli; but they will not use any force or improper means to effect that object; and in case he should withdraw himself as aforesaid, the bashaw engages to deliver up to him his wife and children, now in his power.

EXTRACTS.
Colonel Lear to William Eaton, Esq.
TRIPOLI, 6th June, 1805.
In consequence of a representation made to me by commodore Barron, that the present was a favorable moment for us to enter into a negotiation with the bashaw of Tripoli, and my instructions leaving it to the commander of our forces in this sea to determine the proper time for such an attempt, I repaired off this place on the 26th ultimo, in the United States' frigate Essex, and immediately opened a communication with the bashaw. His demands were 200,000 dollars for peace and ransom, and the delivery on our part of all the Tripolines in our possession, and a restoration of all their property. These terms were at once rejected in toto ; and after some discussion I proposed, as the ultimatum, that a mutual delivery of prisoners should take place, and as he had a balance of more than 200 in his favor, I would give him 60,000 dollars for them; but not a cent for peace, which should be made on terms of the most favored nation with whom he has a treaty, and a regulation respecting prisoners, if a future war should take place between our nations; and in order to prevent any fruitless altercation, I declared I would not go on there to complete the business until these terms were formally acceded to. The weather proving bad for the season, obliged our vessels to keep off, and prevented a regular communication with the shore, which prevented the completion of the preliminaries until the third instant, when they were sent off to me with the bashaw's seal. I immediately went on shore and in 24 hours all the officers and crew of the the late frigate Philadelphia were sent on board the ships.
I found that the heroic bravery of our countrymen at Derne, and the idea that we had a large force and immense supplies at that place, had made a deep impression on the bashaw. I kept up that idea, and endeavored from thence to make an arrangement favorable to his brother, who, although not found to be the man whom many had supposed, was yet entitled to some consideration from us. But I found that this was impracticable, and that if persisted in, would drive him to measures which might prove fatal to our countrymen in his power. I therefore engaged, of course, that on the conclusion of peace, we should withdraw all our forces and supplies from Derne, and other parts of his dominions; and the bashaw engages, that if his brother withdraws himself quietly from his dominions, his wife and family should be restored to him. This is all that could be done, and I have no doubt the U. States will, if deserving, place him in a situation as eligible as that in which he was found.
TRANSLATED.
Copy of a letter from Hamet Bashaw Caramalli, to his friend and brother, William Eaton, late general and commander in chief of our allied forces in our kingdom of Tripoli.
Without placing in view the misfortunes which so long pursued me, I cannot forbear expressing to you, at this moment of our final separation, the deep sense of gratitude I feel for your generous and manly exertions in my behalf. Be assured, that in whatever situation the will of God shall place me, I shall always bear this impression of gratitude on my heart.
On returning to your happy country, to which I wish you a safe passage, I request you will express to your sovereign, my cordial thanks for his manifestations of friendship towards me. Had it been ordained, that measures might have been carried forward to the attainment of my wishes, the restoration of my rightful dominions to me, it would certainly have been
cause of eternal gratitude. But it is true, my own means were small. I knew indeed they did not answer your reasonable expectations. And this I am ready to admit, is a good reason why you should not choose to persevere in an enterprise hazardous in itself, and perhaps doubtful in its issue. I ought, therefore, to say, that I am satisfied with all your nation has done concurred with me. I submit to the will of God, and thank the king of America, and all his servants, for their kind disposition towards me. Situated as I am, you must still allow me to ask another expression of your friendship. You tell me that in your treaty with Jussuff Bashaw, my perfidious brother, he has promised to restore to me my family. I pray you will use your influence with your admiral, to permit one of your vessels to go and ask for them, and that he will give me the means of repairing, with some small assistance to enable me to subsist myself and suite into some country where I may spend the residue of my days in peace.
Again I repeat to you, my love and esteem, and I send honor and long life to your sovereign, which may the merciful God confirm to him.
Done at Syracuse, the 29th day of June, 1805.
[Hamet's Seal]
William Eaton to commodore Rodgers.
SYRACUSE, June 30th, 1805.
I have been yesterday and to day occupied with the proceedings and records of the court of enquiry, on capt. Bainbridge, which is the reason I did not wait on you on board yesterday morning.
Inclosed is a copy, by translation, of a letter Hamet Bashaw has written me, date 29th. This I think is enough to do away any insinuations concerning our intercourse with this prince, injurious to the honor of the United States. He tells me he shall write to the same effect to the President.
To-morrow morning I will do myself the honor to wait on you with a statement of the pay due the troops, who served with me through the desert of Derne.
To the people of the United States of America.
It is known to the whole world that the reigning Bashaw of Tripoli, Jussuff, obtained the throne by the murder of our father and elder brother, and by my exile, who came next in succession. Driven by his impious and cruel usurpation, I took refuge in Egypt, where I was kindly received by the Mameluke beys, who gave me a distinguished rank in the military service. Reposing in the security of peace, I had ceased to repine for the loss of my throne, and regretted only the lot of my unhappy subjects, doomed to the yoke of my cruel and tyrannical brother.
It was at this epoch that the arrival of general Eaton, gave me hopes of better fortune; and though I could not tell what were his powers, I trusted to the faith of a great people, of whom he was the ostensible representative, and threw myself into his arms. We concluded a treaty at Alexandria, a copy of which is among the papers of commodore Barron, in the custody of his secretary Mr. Robert Dennison. This treaty not only stipulates the recovery of the throne for me, but also includes several advantageous articles for the United States, for which general Eaton will be my voucher. Ought I then to suppose that the engagements of an American agent would be disputed by his constituent government? I cannot suppose that a gentleman has pledged towards me the honor of his country on purpose to deceive me.
General Eaton and myself with our joint followers, had already advanced six hundred miles into the kingdom of Tripoli, and a general defection had seized my brother's army, and all things prepared the protected of America to be hailed sovereign of his usurped throne. At this juncture a peace is concluded, in which a throne acquired by rapine and murder, is guaranteed to its usurper, and I the rightful sovereign, the friend & ally of America, am left unprovided for. No article in my favor, no provision for me and my family, and no renumeration for the advantages I had foregone in trusting to American honor. I am left in Syracuse with thirty dependents, on the pittance of two hundred dollars per month, and no prospect of future establishment. What with the expenses of my retinue, &c. &c. I a sovereign prince am now reduced to the pension of 150 cents per day.
I must here observe, that Mr. Eaton whose generosity I cannot sufficiently praise, has assisted me from his own finances, else hard indeed had been my lot.
When the prevalence of ages has accustomed men to the government of one
the right of a throne enters into the system of human thoughts, and that those who have rights like others.
In this situation I appeal to the virtue, generosity and candor of the people & government of America. I trust that a brave and free nation will interest itself in behalf of a fallen prince, who has trusted to its national honor and good faith. I trust the government will take my case into consideration, and at least send me back to Egypt, indemnified for those comforts lost by uniting my fortune to theirs, and I am confident the American people will feel for the misfortunes of one, who has fought in the United cause of their interest, and his own right.

Mr. Eaton to the Secretary of the Navy.
Washington City, Dec. 5th, 1805.
SIR, Commodore Barron's instructions to captain Hull, of September 13, 1804, and my convention with Hamet bashaw, of February 23, 1805, comprise all the obligations entered into with Hamet. Copies of both which are in the offices, as are also the correspondences resulting therefrom. By perusing the bashaw's letters from Syracuse, and by reviewing the transactions to which they refer, I cannot find that any additional observations of mine can throw more light on our transactions. It is impossible for me to undertake to say that the bashaw has not been deceived. Nor can I, by any shape in which the subject can be viewed, reconcile the manner of his being abandoned, with those principles of national justice and honor which have hitherto marked our character. The term co-operation , I always considered so nearly synonymous with alliance , that it would require the nicest distinction of diplomatic skill to discriminate the meaning, and hence, supposed that an engagement to co-operate with Hamet Bashaw, excluded the idea of using him as an instrument . This construction was the more readily admitted in this case, because until after we had proceeded far in the co-operation, I never heard a syllable of peace, neither from the President, nor from yourself, nor from the commander in chief, which did not look forward beyond an effort to exhaust the enemy, and because I always felt a confidence that such an effort, well conducted, would dethrone him. I really can offer no explanations on this subject, which are not to be found in my official communications except a circumstance which I am aware modesty should conceal, but which was calculated at all events to save the honor and the interests of the U. States harmless. On entering the ground of war with Hamet Bashaw, Mr. O'Bannon and myself united in a resolution to perish with him before the walls of Tripoli, or to triumph with him within those walls. In the former event we should have acquitted our duty; in the latter glorified our country. We were supported by similar resolutions on the part of commanders in the squadron, and to encourage Hamet Bashaw to perseverance, and in order to move understandingly with him, I induced the convention with him, which has been made the base of our treaty with his rival.
I have the honor to be, &c.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability, in London, to his friend in this town, dated,
LONDON, 4th Nov. 1805.
"I have lately written to you very frequently, relative to the decisions of the courts of admiralty, in all cases of vessels touching in America, and then forming a second voyage. It is now held that no Colonial produce can be brought from America to Europe, unless the holders of the property as well as the vessel has been changed — If this government adheres to this rule it will produce no other inconvenience than the depredations which have already been committed on American property; — but notwithstanding the present amicable professions, it is apprehended that the late seizures, are only a prelude to other measures, and that if the British ministry can flatter themselves with sufficient success on the continent of Europe to justify themselves in braving the vengeance of the United States, that they will not hesitate to do so. A pamphlet has lately appeared, which has attracted the attention of the nation generally, and which is said to speak the sentiments of Mr. Pitt, called "War in Disguise," which attempts to prove that the French colonies are better supplied, and that the productions are brought from thence on better terms than could be the case if France had any pretensions to equality by sea, and recommending that America should be limited in her commerce to all colonies of Europe, to carry her own provisions there and to bring from thence molasses and rum only for her own consumption. The ministry will probably be guided by the war on the continent. The total annihilation of the first and greatest Austrian army has made them for the present breathe moderation, and if success should generally attend the arms of France, in all likelihood America will not be molested, by any new measures — but whatever depends on caprice is liable to change, and as the present administration has no fixed principle of action, it would be well in every supposition of colonial produce, to effect insurance of a part of it at least in America, for though the underwriters at Lloyds are in the habit of giving a private agreement separate from the policy that capture or arrestation by a British cruiser, shall be sufficient cause of abandonment, yet it is expected the government will attach a penalty to such agreements, and likewise before advices can arrive to effect insurance in London — the most sensible alteration may have taken place in the proceedings of the courts of admiralty which merely speak the will of the minister, and are neither actuated by law nor justice."

"This government has granted licences to Neutral Vessels who take in proportion of their cargoes in Great Britain, to proceed to the Spanish colonies to the south of the line, provided the return cargoes are engaged to be brought to this country; and I have now several expeditions of this nature under my direction, for the account of houses on the Continent, who prefer subjecting themselves to the conditions ministers have imposed for the toleration of that trade to the risk of detention and its consequences even in the event of restitution."
NEGRO REVOLT. — Captain Ryan, who has arrived at Wilmington (N. C.) from Trinidad, which place he left the 14th of December, informs, that a few days before he sailed 7000 Negroes had revolted and embodied at a port of Spain with an
intention of destroying the place and committing a general massacre of the whites; that martial law was immediately proclaimed; the troops and inhabitants turned out, and the king of the insurgents with 17 of their ringleaders were taken, examined and committed to prison; but in the afternoon of the 14th, when captain Ryan was under way, there was a general alarm fired, and the bloody flag hoisted.

FRIEND RELF,
Parturiunt montes, nascetur ridiculus mus, saith Horace somewhere. What would be not have said had he known a grave assembly sitting in secret two weeks and debating whether or not they should attempt to take the island of Cuba? He would have said that the mountain in travail had brought forth a goat. I am informed (and in a manner as leaves no doubt in my mind) that the disputes with England made no part of the long labors of discussion in the house; but that the principal point of debate has been, the propriety of immediately commencing offensive operations against Spain, by a descent on Cuba; that this measure was most warmly advocated by Randolph, and was supported by the federalists and some of the constitutionalists; that only seven or eight of Randolph's Yazoo friends cling to him; that the measure was lost about 70 being against it and about 50 for it; that some other offensive measure has been agreed to; a measure of trivial importance, but what it is I have not been informed; but am assured 'tis of little moment; that it will make no noise when divulged.
FATAL DUEL.
The following is an extract of a letter from a correspondent in Pittsburgh, to the editor of the United States Gazette.
Dated Jan. 10, 1806.
On Wednesday last, (the 8th inst.) a duel was fought in the vicinity of Pittsburgh, between Tarleton Bates, Esq. the prothonotary of Allegheny county, and a person of the name of Stewart, a storekeeper here, in which Mr. Bates was killed at the second fire. The ball of his antagonist entered the upper part of his breast, about an inch left of the centre, and lodged in his left shoulder passing near his heart. He immediately fell and almost immediately expired. Political animosity and party disputes led to this fatal catastrophe. Stewart is said to be one of our patriots of '76 arrived since the revolution from Ireland, and one of Duane's Faction. Mr. Bates was an American. In consequence of certain abusive publications, Mr. Bates attempted to horse whip Pentland, the publisher of the Commonwealth — Pentland first wrote him a note that he had applied to the law for redress; but shortly after a challenge, probably advised to by Stewart and some other of the Irish incendiaries of the place. Mr. Bates thought proper to refuse the challenge, on account of Pentland's being a boy, and an apprentice of Duane's, and perhaps for other reasons. Pentland had him posted in hand-bills as a coward, &c. Mr. Bates published a statement in the Tree of Liberty, in some degree reflecting on Stewart (without mentioning his name) who was the bearer of Pentland's challenge. This is understood to have produced the challenge from Stewart. The minds of the people in Pittsburgh appear much inflamed. Something was threatened to day towards the destruction of Pentland's press; and it is said the militia were ordered out to defend it. The fact is, I saw armed men parading in the streets. Something serious may yet take place. The colonel of the militia in the town is an Englishman, and of Duane's faction, and perhaps a majority of the officers of the same description. The poor Americans seem prepared to surrender their rights, and to become the passive tools of foreign despotism."

MAXIMS AND THOUGHTS.
UNLESS a man have particular reasons, and reasons of public good, for widely extending his temporal engagements, and especially in the decline of life, it may in general be far better to avoid it. For besides the great advantage of preserving his mind the more quiet and easy, he will generally be better prepared to educate and guard his children, and assist them the more easily both by precept and example, to commence a safe and happy onset in the world.
Add to this, that by having it in his power to keep his affairs in a regular and connected arrangement, he will feel himself to much the more like a man prepared for the great, approaching, and inevitable event, which the next moment may end all his labors.
And if we have a due regard to the ease of our friends who are to manage and finish our affairs after us; or to our reputation, when that alone can be of any avail in our favor, a wise man will feel a proportionate care to secure, by his provident management, such a chain of important objects.
The consideration which we naturally feel, at times, for the welfare of our relatives after us,
should not lead us into an over anxious solicitude about the quantum of property which we may leave behind us.
A life of indolence on the one hand is, indeed, as bad as a life of the most rigid parsimony on the other. But both are to be avoided as sinful.
The middle way, compatible with calm devotion and thankfulness to our GOD—with benevolence to society, and the cultivation of right affections in those dependant upon us, is the path of our duty.
All men who tread this path are not to be rich in worldly goods; though all men may be come rich in faith—which, when exercised on the divine providence over all worlds, and all possibilities of things, is a specie infinity finer than gold—it is the currency of heaven—and that by which we may purchase an interest in the gracious benediction—Leave thy fatherless children, I will keep them alive, and let thy widow trust in me.
Curius, who is said to have had no money of his own, was offered a large sum by the Samnites, but refused it, saying, "That he saw no glory in having money, but in commanding them who had it." A sentiment quite in the character of a brave warrior.
But in the character of a man of peace, let me lay down, for myself, a different rule: I see no glory in having money; true glory consisteth in rendering one's self useful to those who have it, in knowledge and virtue.

Mr. Early, after some explanatory remarks on the utility thereof, offered the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the President of the U. S. be requested to lay before this house, any information which may be in the offices of the executive department relative to the fortifying of the forts and harbors, with the amount of money expended on each, and the probable expense of completing the same with the practicability of defending our shores by land batteries.
Resolved, That the President of the U. S. be requested to lay before this house a statement exhibiting the money expended on the navy of the United States, for each year since the establishment, with the cost of each armed ship or other vessel built or purchased on account of the United States and the cost of each navy yard.

DRAWBACKS.
Mr. Crowninshield from the committee of commerce and manufactures, reported a new bill on this subject, which was read twice and referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Gregg, presented a petition of Elizabeth Hunt; referred.
Mr. Gregg, next made a report on the petition of William Ward and three others, children of John Ward deceased, who had been brought up amongst the Indians, and late come to a brother in Ohio; and praying a grant of land, that they might thereby be enabled to settle in civilized life. The report was unfavorable to the petition, under the score of precedent, &c. but upon motion it was referred a committee of the whole for Monday next.
Bridge across the Potomac.
Mr. Thompson of Virginia new called for the order of the day, and moved that the house do go into a committee of the whole thereon.
Mr. Roger Nelson prayed that the consideration might be postponed for a day or two: that his duty to his constituents called upon him to speak on the bill; but at present he was very unwell, laboring under a severe cold, which was evident from his observations.
Mr. Thompson agreeing to this request it was postponed.
Mr. Daiby called for the order of the day on the bill for extending the jurisdiction of state courts to county courts in certain cases.
Ordered to be read a third time on Monday.
The following resolution was offered:
Resolved, That any member of this house, who shall solicit, accept, or enter into any contract for the expenditure of any money appropriated by law, shall be excluded from his seat in this house.—Agreed to.

Ten Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the subscriber (living in Loudoun county, Virginia) about the 7th of October, 1805, a Negro Woman by the name of CHARLOTTE, a low and well set wench, about the age of 24 years, has large white and full eyes and very thick lips, with a mouth of vast capacity; but, what I suppose to be the most remarkable, and by which she may be easily known, is a large bare place on the back part of her head. I deem it unnecessary to mention her clothing, as the length of time which she has been absent has given her an opportunity of changing them.
I will give the above reward to any person or persons, who will either deliver her to me, or confine her in any goal, so that I get her again, and all reasonable charges I will also pay.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen, 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.
Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper: he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of his invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is 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 other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparallelled in the cure of
 Nervous Disorders, Violent cramps in the stomach and back,  Consumptions, Indigestion,  Lowness of spirits, Melancholy,  Loss of appetite, Gout in the stomach,  Impurity of the blood, Pains in the limbs,  Hysterical affections, Relaxations,  Inward weaknesses, Involuntary emissions,  Seminal weaknesses, Obstinate gleets,  Fluoribus (or whites) Impotency, &c. &c.  Barrenness, 
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN,
I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty 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.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary, a particular excellence of this and being suited to every age and constitution, and also
contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body, but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the least and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Terec or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Sacculina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupt vulvus and epispastic itts, and sometimes privation of speech—Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are, given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—
By Hamilton's WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away a bout FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repelled with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have tried this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant
