REPORT.
In obedience to the directions of the act supplementary to the act entitled, "An act to establish the Treasury Department," the Secretary of the Treasury respectfully submits the following
REPORT AND ESTIMATES:
REVENUE AND RECEIPTS.
Dollars.
The nett revenue arising from duties on merchandise and tonnage which accrued during the year 1801, amounted to 12,020,279
The nett revenue arising from the same source, which accrued during the year 1802, amounted to 10,154,564
That which accrued during the year 1803, amounted to 11,306,430
And that which accrued during the year 1804, amounted, after deducting that portion which arose from the additional duties constituting the Mediterranean fund (as will appear by the statement (A) to 12,672,323
It is ascertained that the nett revenue which has accrued during the three first quarters of the year 1805, does not fall short of that of the corresponding quarters of the year 1804: and that branch of the revenue may, exclusively of the Mediterranean fund, be safely estimated, for the present, at twelve millions of dollars, which is nearly the average of the two years 1803 and 1804.
The defalcation which took place in the year 1802, and the increase in the next following years, sufficiently shew that no inconsiderable portion of that branch of the revenue, is due to the neutrality of the United States during the continuance of war in Europe. Yet if the revenue of 1802, the only year of European peace since 1792, be considered as the best basis on which to form an estimate, this, with an addition of ten per cent. on account of the increase of population for 3 years, and of near 300,000 dollars, the computed revenue of New-Orleans, will give a result of near eleven millions and a half.
The statement (B) exhibits in detail the several species of merchandise and other sources from which that revenue was collected during the year 1804.
The revenue arising from the sales of public lands has been greater during the year ending on the 30th September, 1805, than that of any preceding year. It appears by the statement (C) that during that period, besides 145,000 acres sold to persons claiming a right of pre-emption, 474,000 acres have been disposed of at the ordinary sales, making altogether, with the preceding sales, from the time when the land offices were opened in 1800 and 1801, an aggregate of near two millions of acres. The actual payments by purchasers which, during the year ending on the 30th of September, 1804, had amounted to 432,000 dollars, and had not in any one previous year exceeded two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, have during the year ending the 30th September, 1805, amounted to 575,000 dollars; of which sum 535,000 dollars were paid in specie, and the residue in stock of the public debt. The specie receipts from that source may for the ensuing year be safely estimated at five hundred thousand dollars.
The receipts arising from the permanent revenue of the United States may, therefore, without even including the duties on postage and other small incidental branches, be computed, for the year 1806, at twelve millions & five hundred thousand dollars, 12,500,000
The payments in the treasury during the same year, on account of the temporary duties, constituting the "Mediterranean fund," which will have accrued, to the 31st day of March next, are estimated at 900,000 dollars, and about one hundred thousand may be expected from the arrears of internal duties and of the direct tax, and from other incidental branches, making for temporary and incidental receipts one million of dollars, 1,000,000
The balance of specie in the treasury which, on the 30th day of Sept. last, amounted to 4,575,654 dollars, will, as the receipts and current expenditures of the present quarter may be considered as nearly equal, be diminished at the
end of this year, only by the payments on account of the American claims, assumed by the convention with France, and as the whole amount of those claims which remained unpaid on the 30th day of September last, will, in this estimate, be stated amongst the expenditures of 1806, the whole of the above mentioned balance may be added to the receipts of that year, viz. 4,575,000
Making in the whole an aggregate of more than eighteen millions of dollars, 18,075,000
EXPENDITURES.
The expenses of the year 1806, which must be defrayed out of those resources, are, like the revenue, either of a permanent nature or temporary, viz:
The permanent expenses are estimated at 11,450,000 dollars, and consist of the following items, viz.
 1. The annual appropriation of eight millions of dollars for the payment of the principal and interest of the public debt, of which more than 4,000,000 dollars will be applicable to the discharge of the principal, and the residue to the payment of interest, 8,000,000  2. For the civil department, and all domestic expenses of a civil nature, including invalid pensions, the lighthouse and mint establishments, the expenses of surveying the public lands, the third instalment of the loan due to Maryland, and a sum of 150,000 dollars to meet such miscellaneous claims as may be allowed by congress, 1,150,000  3. For expenses incident to the intercourse with foreign nations, including the permanent appropriation for Algiers, 200,000  4. For the military and Indian departments, including the permanent appropriations for certain Indian tribes, 1,030,000  5. For the naval establishment (exclusively of deficiencies for the service of the years, 1804 and 1805, which are estimated at 600,000 dollars,) 1,070,000 
11,450,000
The extraordinary demands, for the year 1806, amount to four millions of dollars, viz.
The navy deficiencies of 1804 and 1805, as above mentioned, 500,000
And the balance of the American claims assumed by the French convention which remained unpaid on the 30th of September last amounting to 3,400,000
Making altogether fifteen millions four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, 15,450,000
It appears from the preceding statement that the permanent revenues of the United States will, during the ensuing year, exceed the permanent expenditures by a sum of more than one million of dollars, and that the monies already on hand, together with the temporary resources of the year, will, after leaving the sum which it is always necessary to keep in the treasury, be sufficient to discharge the navy deficiencies and the whole amount of the claims assumed by the convention with France, the large receipts of last year rendering it unnecessary to recur for that object to the loan authorised by the act of the 10th of November, 1803.
Mediterranean Fund.
It appears by the statement (B) that the additional duty of two and an half per cent. on goods paying duties and ad valorem, which constitutes the "Mediterranean Fund," amounted during the last six months of 1804, to 563,038 dollars. And it is ascertained that the amount of the duty accrued during the year end-
ing on the 30th day of June eighteen hundred and five was nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand. This apparent product will it is true, be diminished by subsequent exportations, but it is believed from a view of the value of the goods imported in 1803, and 1804, which are charged with that duty, that the fund may be estimated as producing nearly nine hundred thousand dollars a year. If that estimate be correct, the fund will ultimately produce, during 1 year and nine months commencing on the 1st day of July, eighteen hundred and four, and ending on the 31st day of March, eighteen hundred and six, one million five hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. 1,575,000
The expenses heretofore charged on that fund have been viz.
Paid in eighteen hundred & four, to the said department under the act constituting the fund, 525,000
Paid, in 1805, to the said department, by virtue of the 2d session of the act of the 25th January 1805. 509,000
Making altogether 1 million one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, and leaving an unappropriated surplus, estimated at four hundred & 60 thousand dols. but which will be more than absorbed by the navy deficiencies above mentioned. The monies actually received or to be received into the treasury on account of that fund prior to the 1st day of January 1806, are estimated at about six hundred thousand dols. The residue will be received between that day and the first day of March eighteen hundred and seven; and credit has been taken for a sum of nine hundred thousand dollars on that account, in the proceeding estimate of the receipts of the year eighteen hundred and six.
Public Debt.
The payments on account of the principal of the public debt have during the year ending on the 30th day of September, eighteen hundred & five, exceeded four millions three hundred and seventy-seven thousand dollars, as appears by estimate (D.) 4,377,398 63
The two last instalments due to Great Britain and amounting to one million seven hundred and seventy six thousand dollars have also been discharged during the same period. 1,776,000
Making in the whole a reimbursement of more than 6 millions one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 6,153,398 63
As the exportation of the specie necessary to discharge the last mentioned instalment, would have been sensibly felt, it was found eligible to pay it in London, in conformity with the authority given by the act of the third of March eighteen hundred and five, and the operation was effected at par, by the bank of the U. S.
It appears by the same statement (D.) that the payments on account of the public debt from the 1st April 1801, to the 30th September 1805, have amounted to almost eighteen millions of dollars. 17,954,790 49
During the same period there have been paid to G. Britain, in satisfaction and discharge of the money which the United States might have been liable to pay, in pursuance of the provisions of the 6th article of the treaty of 1794, 2,664,000
The balance in the treasury amounting, on the 1st day of April, 1805, to 4,795,052 59
And on the 30th day of September, 1805, to 4,575,654 37
Making an increase of 2,781,601 78
From which deducting the proceeds of the sales of bank shares, 1,287,600
Leaves for the increase arising from the ordinary revenue, 1,494,001 78
Making, in the whole, a difference of more than twenty two millions of dollars in favor of the United States, during that period of four years and a half, 22,112,792 21
In order to give a more general and concise view of the receipts and expenditures of the United States during the four years, commencing on the first day of April, 1801, and ending on the 31st day of March, 1805, than can be derived from the annual printed accounts, a statement marked (H) and several explanatory statements marked (H 1 to H 8) have been added to those which usually accompany this report.
From those it appears that a sum of fifty millions six hundred and sixty seven thousand four hundred and sixty seven dollars and four cents has been paid into the treasury during that period, viz.
From duties on tonnage on the importation of foreign merchandise, 45,174,837 22
From all other sources (including 1,596,171 dollars and 43 cents, arising from the sales of bank shares and of public vessels,) 5,492,629 04
50,667,467 26
And that the expenditures during the same period, have amounted to forty-two millions six hundred and sixty five thousand five hundred and twenty seven dollars and fifty six cents, which have been disbursed for the following purposes:
 1. Less than one third of the whole has been sufficient to defray all the current expenses of the United States, viz. For the civil list and all domestic expenses of a civil nature, 3,786,114 79  For the military establishment and Indian department, 4,495,192 26  For the naval establishment, 4,842,635 15  For the expenses attending the intercourse with foreign nations, 1,071,437 24 
Amounting altogether to 14,105,380 04
2. Near one third was necessary to pay the interest on the public debt, viz. 16,278,700 00
On which subject it may not be improper to observe that a part of that sum, amounting to 3,160,000 dollars, were paid on account of the interest on the deferred stock, a charge which commenced only in the year 1801, and was therefore in addition to the annual sum wanted before that year for the payment of interest on the public debt.
3. More than one third, and which may be considered as the surplus revenue of the United States during that period, has been applied towards the reimbursement, and extinguishment of the debt, viz.
On account of the principal of the public debt proper, 16,317,663 93
In payment of debts contracted before the 1st day of April, 1801, and arising under the British treaty and under the French convention of the 30th Sept. 1800, 2,963,782 65
19,281,446 58
It is sufficiently evident that whilst one third of the national revenue is necessarily absorbed by the payment of interest, a persevering application of the resources, afforded by seasons of peace and prosperity, to the discharge of the principal, in the manner directed by the legislature, is the only effectual mode by which the United States can ultimately obtain the full command of their revenue, and the free disposal of all their resources. Every year produces a diminution of interest and a positive increase of revenue. But years more will be sufficient to discharge (in addition to the annual reimbursements on the deferred stock) the remainder of the Dutch debt, and the whole of the eight per cent. and four and an half per cent. stock. As the portion of the public debt which will then remain unpaid will consist of the six per cent. deferred and Louisiana stock, etc.

of which can be reimbursed at the periods and in the proportions fixed by contract, and of the three per cent. stock, which its low rate of interest will render it ineligible to discharge at its nominal value; the rapidity of the reduction of the debt, beyond the annual reimbursements permitted by the contracts, will after the year 1809, depend on the price at which purchases may be effected. And should circumstances render it eligible, a considerable portion of the revenue now appropriated for that purpose may be applied to other objects.
All of which is respectfully submitted. ALBERT GALLATIN, Secretary of the Treasury. Treasury Department, Dec. 9th, 1805.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 31.
Latest Foreign News.
The brig Sally Tracy, captain Skiddy, arrived at this port last evening in 40 days from Bordeaux. She brings Paris papers to the 10th of November, by which we are enabled to trace the operations of the French armies in Germany to the publication of the 15th bulletin, and to follow the army of Italy in its career of victory. But from the late hour at which these papers were received we find it impossible to lay before the readers of the MERCHANT ADVERTISER this day more than the eleventh and twelfth bulletins of the Grand Army, two bulletins of the army of Italy, and some smaller articles which place beyond a doubt the determination of Prussia to preserve a strict neutrality.
Our last advices from the Grand Army, contained in the fourteenth and fifteenth bulletins, are dated from the head quarters at Branau, a well fortified town in lower Bavaria, at the distance of about 160 miles from Vienna. It had been occupied by the Russians, who fled at the approach of the French troops, leaving behind them 45 pieces of cannon with sliding carriages, 40,000 balls and howitzers, 100,000 pounds of gunpowder, 40,000 rations of bread, more than 1000 sacks of flour, 1000 muskets, and every article necessary for the maintenance of a great siege. We shall publish the details to morrow.
GERMANY.
Neurembergh, Oct. 27.
We have received letters from Passau of the 25th. They are full of details relative to the proceedings of the Russians, who appeared for a moment on the borders of the Inn, and sent some detachments to the left bank of that river, but which they hastened to abandon on the first news of the arrivals of the French and Bavarians. We learn, by the same letters, that general Rutusow has made his army take a new position, in which he proposes, they say, to wait for the French. His line extends from the Istant upon the Danube along the right bank of the Inn to the mouth of the Salz by Dittmingen and Lauffen as far as Salsburgh, Reichenheil and Berchtesgaden. Gen. Kienmayer, who also commanded upon that point, has been replaced by general Meerfeldt.
There already reigns a great misunderstanding between the Russian and the Austrians; the latter accuse the former of having designedly delayed their march and rejoicing in secret at the defeat of gen. Mack's army. It is even asserted that some very warm disputes have taken place between the generals of the two powers.
The Prussian ministry have addressed to all the civil and military authorities of Franconia, a very consolatory circular letter for the neighboring states. It states in substance, "That his Prussian majesty is taking the most efficacious measures to shelter his faithful subjects from the vexations which they may experience, by the unforeseen passage of troops belonging to the belligerent powers, but that these measures and preparations for defence are only to be considered as a surer means to establish a perfect and strict neutrality for the Prussian territory; all other interposition must be carefully avoided."
Wartzburgh, Oct. 30.
The emperor of Russia not having been able to engage the king of Prussia to repair to Poland, is gone to see him at Berlin, where he arrived on the 25th instant. The interview of this monarch with his Prussian majesty will produce the results which many persons expect from it. The Cabinet of Berlin, independently of the last proclamation published in the principality of Anspach, has clearly declared its intentions by the official declaration.
In the last note delivered to Mr. Laforest ambassador to France and to general Duroc, it is said "H. M. will remain faithful to the principles which have hitherto directed his political conduct, and will be constantly animated by the desire of procuring to Europe the advantages of peace, in concurring with all his power, by his mediation to a happy conciliation of the differences which have kindled the flame of war."
The motives of the military dispositions which have taken place, and of the assembling of several corps of the army are thus explained: "All these measures have no other end in view than to insure the neutrality and protect the territory of his majesty."
Commercial agencies of the United States for the Districts of Paris and Havre. Paris, Oct. 31st 1805.
In consequence of instructions from the secretary of state of the United States; the undersigned commercial agent of the said States, for the port and district of Havre de Grace, acting for Fulwar Skipwith, commercial agent for the said States, for the district of Paris in his absence; hereby gives notice to the citizens of the United States, and all others whom it may concern, that after the date hereof he will grant no certificates in cases of foreign vessels purchased by citizens of the United States, or any document whatever relative to such purchases, except to those who shall justify that the purchase was made without knowing this alteration in the former instructions on that subject.

We are informed last evening, that on a margin of a letter, received by the brig Sally Tracy, from Bordeaux, it was stated, that news had reached that place, that there had been a general battle between Massena and the Arch-Duke Charles, which terminated in the loss of 15,000 of the Arch Duke's army. This news may be true—the letter comes to a person of respectability, and is later than our printed accounts from France.

NINTH CONGRESS, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, January 2.
Mr. J. C. Smith, from the committee of claims, reported a bill for the relief of the governor & judges of the late territory of the U. States north-west of the Ohio.
Read twice and referred to a committee of the whole house to-morrow—and to be printed.
Mr. Varnum from the committee to which was referred so much of the message of the president of the 3d December last, as relates to the organization of the militia, &c. made a report in part.
The report was lengthy, and contained reasons for the opinion of the committee, which is, "that it is inexpedient to adopt a classification of the militia."
Mr. Varnum moved that the report be referred to a committee of the whole house for Monday—and to be printed. Agreed to.
Mr. Saily from the committee to which was referred the resolution to extend the jurisdiction, in certain cases, to state judges and state courts, reported a bill for that purpose, which was read twice and referred to a committee of the whole for Tuesday next, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Gregg, from the committee of public lands, made a report on the petition of George Turner, for a grant of land from the United States which he had formerly purchased of four chiefs of the Illinois nation, of 3000 acres, and as compensation for services as a judge.
The committee reported against the petitioner. The report observed that the U. States never recognized any purchase of land by individual citizens thereof. The house concurred.
The Speaker informed the house that he had received a report of the secretary of state on the petition of
Peter Landois, commander of the Alliance.
The petitioner during the revolutionary war with Great Britain, was commander of the Alliance Frigate, one of the squadron of Paul Jones.
During their cruise in the North Seas, they captured four British vessels, and sent them to Norway consigned to the French Consul. The court of Denmark on the application of the British consul at Copenhagen, restored the captured ships to the owners, under the plea, of not acknowledging America as a nation.
The Report of the Secretary was favorable to the petitioner, and it was on the motion of Mr. J. C. Smith, referred to a committee of the whole for Monday, and to be printed.
Mr. Quincy presented a petition from the manufacturers of Hats in Boston, complaining of the difficulty in procuring furs from the Indians, and complaining of the conduct of the agent for Indian affairs, and similar to others on that subject from Philadelphia and New York.
Mr. Cutts from the committee of enrolled bills, reported that the committee had found duly enrolled "A Bill for extending the time for claimants on the French Republic, &c"
ARTICLES OF WAR.
General Varnum called for the bill presented by him several days ago, for the regulation of the army of the U. States.
The house went into a committee of the whole,
Mr. J. C. Smith in the chair.
A long discussion took place, and various alterations and amendments proposed, and some of little importance, to the former articles of war adopted.
Mr. G. W. Campbell moved to strike out the word "punishment by death."
In support of this amendment Mr. Campbell reported the idea of the lives of citizens being in the power of a court martial. He compared soldiers to mere machines, from the severity of military law. He said almost every article in the bill was stained with blood; and he drew a parallel between them and the civil penal laws. He feared that when men know how many small offences subjected him to death, he would be deterred or disgusted from serving his country.
Mr. Southward and Mr. Cook followed with similar observations and arguments in favor of the amendment.
It was strenuously opposed by Mr. R. Nelson, Mr. Smilie, Mr. Macon, and Mr. Talmadge.
These gentlemen represented the necessity of the bill standing as it had hitherto done in that respect. They drew a picture of an army without discipline, where every soldier might think himself at his own disposal—Of an army being ordered to attack the enemy, and an officer refusing, and drawing his sword on his commanding officer. The necessity of a code of laws for the military, differing from the civil law, was demonstrated, and having by the law as it stands, gone through the revolutionary war with success, and in peace found no ill consequence arising therefrom, they thought it neither prudent nor even safe to adopt the amendment.
Mr. Talmadge said that in the revolution the disobedience of soldiers to their officers' commands, had at one time gone to such a length, as threatened a mutiny.—The adjutant general Lee was struck by a soldier, on being ordered to do his duty. The commander ordered him to be tried by a general court martial, he was found guilty and sentenced to be shot. The army were drawn out to attend the execution of the sentence. Upon the spot appointed for that purpose general Lee entered in behalf of the soldier, who was in consequence thereof pardoned. This, however, produced a good effect in the army. Mr. Talmadge brought forward other instances of the danger of an army not being subject to severe laws. Soldiers were of that nature that they could not be governed without severity.
The question was put on Mr. Campbell's motion of striking out "punishment by death," and lost. There being only 20 in favor of it.
Petitions and Reports on Petitions, &c. Presented and reported to the House of Representatives in Congress, on Tuesday 31st December, 1805.
Mr. Holmes presented the petition of sundry persons purchasers of Land of the United States, similar to several on same subject lately presented, and which was referred to the same committee.
Mr. Smilie presented the petition of Thomas Orr of Jefferson county, in Virginia, praying an abatement for lands purchased of the United States. Referred to the committee of Public Lands.
Mr. R. Nelson presented a petition of sundry inhabitants of the city of Washington, praying that a road may be opened from thence, to intersect the road to Fredericktown. Referred to a committee of three.
Mr. J. Clay presented the petition of Olivier Evans, which stated, that he was the author of many useful inventions, particularly one for manufacturing flour. Referred to a select committee of five.
Mr. R. Nelson presented the petition of Martin Barker, who had been severely wounded by the British at the battle of Princeton, when he received a musket ball which had not been extracted. Referred to the committee of Claims.
Mr. Crowninshield moved that the petition of Francis Massinier, respecting the cultivation of the Vine on the Ohio, be referred to the committee on Public Lands. Agreed to.
Petition of William Stokes, a soldier in the revolutionary war with Great Britain, and taken prisoner by them, for compensation. Referred to the committee of Claims.
Mr. Darby presented the petition of Daniel Potter, who has suffered in the Western expedition. Referred to the same committee.
Mr. Sandford presented another petition from purchasers of Land in the Western Territory, praying for time for payment. Referred to the committee already appointed on similar petitions.
Mr. J. C. Smith from the committee of Claims, made a report on the petition of Salvado Cattolina, the Tripolitan Pilot, employed by Commodore Preble, of which we named the particular, when it was presented.
The committee reported, an answer from Commodore Preble, that the petitioner had been paid the full extent of every thing promised him, and that he therefore have leave to withdraw his petition.
Report on the petition of John Dow of Boston, for a drawback on Playing Cards. It appeared to the committee that no drawback is allowed on that article, and that he may withdraw his petition.
Report on the resolution of John McIntire, that he have leave to withdraw the same; but, upon the motion of Mr. Morrow, it was referred to a committee of the whole House for Monday next.
On the report of the committee of Claims, on the case of Jonathan Maigs, Jun. for compensation for his services as a judge of the United States for Ohio, the House went again into a committee of the whole, when the debate continued, on the point named in our report yesterday.
The committee at length concurred in the report of the committee of Claims, which was favorable to the petitioner, and the resolution was sent to them to bring in a bill.
This is to give Notice,
THAT I Richard Smith, do forewarn the inhabitants of Alexandria, not to trust Mary Smith on my account; as I am resolved not to pay any debts of her contracting after this date.

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 disorder 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 indicated. 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 obstinate 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.
Rev. 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—excesses 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 lying-in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Violent cramps in the  Nervous Disorders,] Stomach and back,  Consumptions,] Indigestion,  Losses of spirits,] Melancholy,  Loss of appetite,] Gout in the Stomach,  Impurity of the blood,] Pains in the limbs,  Hysterical affections,] Relaxations,  Inward weakness,] Involuntary emissions,  Seminal weakness,] Obstinate glects,  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 makes oath as follows, namely,
That his wife, Mary Hoover, was 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 familiar style, so commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary, a particular excellence of this and its being fitted to every age and constitution, and also
constitutes nothing but what is perfectly innocuous, 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, with pain or griping, discompose 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 safest 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 Toros or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short fat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm. To be relied from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most harmful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted urine—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, 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—Sleev 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 was 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 about 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 redness 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 replete 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 used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly aches, or any other disagreeable sensations, is 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 JOHN MOLTHER.
