CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. MONDAY, APRIL 7. SPANISH AFFAIRS.
DEBATE
On the motion of Mr. J. Randolph to amend the secret journal, by inserting in it the message of the President of the 6th Decem- ber.
CONTINUED.
Mr. J. CLAY. I must say that the observations which have fallen from my colleague and other gentlemen who have taken a part in this debate, have strongly impressed me with the propriety of the motion under consideration. There appears to be a material difference of opinion as to the true construction of the message and the documents communicated by the president. It is apparent that I understand these communications in one way, and my colleague in another. We have been told that one nation, France, has been improperly dragged into this discussion. The message of the president, ought, in my opinion, to be published to show that this is not so. There are other sources of differences of opinion which can only be understood by giving publicity to the message. Gentlemen have gone into a long detail of the motives which governed them in the votes which they have given. It is not necessary for me to imitate the example they have set. I hope when my motives are called in question, it will be before the public and not here. I shall be ready to defend them by all the means I possess, the vote of this house notwithstanding. I believed when the injunction of secrecy was removed, it was removed from all our proceedings, and I considered all that was laid before this house as so far my property that I had a right to use it in my defence. We have been told there is one for voting against the resolution—that a standing army was proposed to be raised by it while the military would have answered every useful purpose. This may be a very good & popular argument, but we have been within a few days told from the same quarter, that it is necessary to have a brigadier general in the armies of the United States to defend one of these very provinces attacked by Spain. Some allusion has been made to a conversation held out of doors; and my colleague has shown some squeamishness to act on such authority. But I will ask him if he invariably makes up his votes from official documents laid on this table, and whether he does not sometimes travel out of the record. When a gentleman tells you such and such a thing, in which the honor of the nation is implicated, ought he to be considered as out of order? Was it not his duty to give that information to the house? I will say, if I had been acquainted with these things, my doubts as to the propriety of the appropriation of two millions would have been much increased. Permit me here to observe, that when a gentleman intimated that the money was already gone out of the country, no man in his senses could have dreamt that it was intended to assert that it was sent out in so many actual Spanish milled dollars. Does the secretary of the treasury, when he informs us there are so many dollars in the treasury, mean to say there are so many round silver dollars there? No. He only means to say we have a credit to such an amount. So with regard to our transactions with Spain, I understand that our credit is in Holland, and that the fund is created there from which we are to draw. Is not this to all intents and purposes, the same as transmitting the money to Holland? When a man pays a debt, is it to be supposed that he carries the actual dollars with him? To say the least of such an objection it is a mere quibble. As there is a material difference of opinion as to the construction of the documents and the message of the president, it is a duty which we owe to ourselves, to lay before the people all the information on which we acted, that we may stand justified or condemned by it before them.
Mr. EPPES. I rejoice that the period has at length arrived, when our public conduct is to be submitted to the people. When what we have done in our representative capacity is to be collected not from eloquent representations on this floor of what other gentlemen would not do, but from the record of our proceedings. The secret is out; the bubble has burst, and gentlemen find themselves and the public disappointed. I consider the publication
of the secret journal as an appeal to the people. I am willing to indulge gentlemen in making it as perfect as they can. I shall vote for the amendment of the gentleman from Virginia, or for any other calculated to bring this subject fairly before those to whom we are responsible for our conduct. The journal is the best answer to their speeches. Amend it as they will they cannot realize the public expectations. Its publication, I firmly believe, will excite no sentiment but surprise. On the day the injunction of secrecy was taken off, your doors were crowded with persons anxious to hear this tremendous secret. I witnessed nothing but disappointment. Congress has appropriated two millions of dollars to buy Florida. Is this all? Have you not confiscated the public debt? Or at any event the Louisiana stock? Most certainly you have voted money to bribe Talleyrand? No, I assure you, we have done nothing more than appropriate two millions of dollars for the purchase of Florida in a law, containing precisely the same words with the one passed for that purpose, in the year 1803, and supported by the very persons who have denounced this measure. Gentlemen have attempted to draw a distinction between the situation of the United States in the year 1803, and in the year 1806. I am not so un candid as to say that the present differences with Spain, are precisely such as we had in the year 1803. This, however, I will say, that every objection urged against the present appropriation, applies with equal force to the measure of 1803. Let us examine what was the situation of the United States with Spain at these two periods.
In the year 1803, Spain had committed spoliations on our commerce to a considerable amount, the payment of which had been either wholly or in part refused. She had cut off the whole western country from an outlet to the ocean, by prohibiting a deposit at Orleans, and refusing to assign an equivalent one elsewhere, as stipulated by treaty. The remedy adopted by the collected wisdom of the nation was holding in readiness a detachment of militia, and making a secret appropriation to buy Florida.
In the year 1806, Spain had refused an amicable adjustment of limits; had refused to pay spoliations on our commerce; had in one instance violated our territory. The remedy resorted to has been to hold in readiness a detachment of militia, and to appropriate money for the purchase of Florida.
This was the situation of the nation at these two periods. Whether at either period, the wisest course has been pursued, I shall not attempt to prove. In both cases the nation adopted the same principle. To avoid war if possible, and to purchase territory, rather than fight for it. All the strong objections urged against the measure at present adopted, apply with equal force to the measure adopted in 1803. The two laws contain precisely the same words, and neither specify the object of appropriation. The law of 1803 was passed in secret with closed doors. The law of 1806 was passed in the same manner. The appropriation in 1803 was not recommended by the executive, but founded on a resolution submitted by a member of the house of representatives. The appropriation in 1806 was not recommended by the executive, but founded on a resolution submitted by a member of the house of representatives also. The object of the appropriation in the year 1803, was concealed from the people twelve months—In the year 1806, made public in a few weeks. Gentlemen may draw nice distinctions, but they will find it difficult to make the people believe that the measure adopted in 1803 was wise and virtuous, and the same measure in 1806, infamous. I appeal with confidence to the people, they will and must see, that this is the very same measure adopted three years ago, without noise, in a law containing the same words passed in secret in the same manner, and supported by the very persons who have denounced this measure.
When, however, this measure shall be fairly brought before the public it will be found, that notwithstanding the noise and clamor which has been made, the difference between the majority and minority on this question is not very considerable. Every member of the house of representatives admitted the necessity of doing something. What were the remedies within our reach? 1st. To declare war. 2. Either to increase our standing army for the purpose of strengthening our posts or holding in readiness a detachment of militia. 3. To exchange territory or to purchase.
As to the first of these, declaring war, no member of the house of representatives
wished to pursue that course. The gentleman from Virginia certainly did not. His report speaks only the language of peace; all the evils of war to this country, are dwelt on in that report with care and labor. If, however, we had not this proof that he did not wish for war with Spain, he has given unequivocal proofs of it in his arguments on another question. A war with Spain, we know, must be a war with Spain and France combined. They are joined by alliance offensive and defensive. To a war against France and Spain combined, all the objections urged against war with England would apply with full force. If war with England would have increased executive patronage, and endangered the constitution and liberty of the people, so also would war with France and Spain combined; we put war aside there. For, as a course which no man wished to pursue. The next course was either to increase our standing troops, or to hold in readiness a detachment of militia. Here was room for an honest diversity of opinion. A majority of the house preferred depending on militia—I was of that number. I thought the standing troops in that country sufficient for the protection of it, unless Spain determined to force a war. Subsequent events have shown the correctness of that opinion. No violation of territory has taken place since the case of the Kempers, except by twenty Spaniards, who crossed the Sabine, and were driven off by the American troops. The next course was either to exchange territory, or to purchase. A majority of the house were in favor of both. I was of that number.
On the east side of the Mississippi there was territory to which Spain had an undoubted right. There was territory to which the United States had an undoubted right. And there was territory which Spain and the U. S. both claimed. On the west side of the Mississippi, the situation was the same. Each nation had an undoubted right to territory & there was territory claimed by both. It was not to be supposed that Spain, while she held the territory to the east of the Perdido, would be disposed to relinquish the claim which she sets up to the country between the Perdido, and Mississippi. It was necessary to purchase the territory to the east of the Perdido, to which Spain has an undoubted right, and after disposing of which, it would certainly be her interest to relinquish her claim between the Perdido and Mississippi, on obtaining an equivalent surrender on the part of the United States to claims west of the Mississippi. I see nothing dishonorable in this transaction, and really it appears to me the difference between the majority and minority is narrowed down to this. The majority were in favor of militia. The minority of standing troops. The majority were in favor of exchange and of purchase. The minority in favor of exchange only.
On the importance of Florida to the U. States I shall not say any thing. The foes to this measure have admitted its importance in the fullest extent, and their willingness to acquire it on fair and honorable terms. All their objections have been made not to purchase but to the mode. It is said we have appropriated money not for the purchase of Florida, but to induce France to bully Spain out of her right.
On this subject, I have never had but one opinion. I have always believed, and I still believe, that the money will be fairly employed in purchasing Florida of the rightful owner. The gentleman from Virginia will do me the justice to recollect that I held this language with closed doors. I hold it now in the presence of the people. That France may ultimately get the money is highly probable, and why? Has not the gentleman from Virginia told us the sovereignty of Spain is annihilated, that the powers of her minister are signed Charles Maurice Talleyrand? But of what importance is it to us what becomes of the money we pay Spain? Are we to become the guardians of Spain? Shall we not purchase a territory important to the United States because Spain may be bullied or cheated out of the money she receives from us? If Spain is really in such a degraded state that she has no will of her own, has her conduct towards the U. States been such, as to induce us not to avail ourselves of the situation in which we find her? For my own part, I care not what use Spain makes of the money paid to her for Florida. It is of no importance to me as a representative, nor to the people. That the purchase will be fairly made of Spain, and the money paid to Spain, I have no doubt. The government dare not employ it in another way.
I shall vote for amending the journal, by
inserting the message. I know, however, that this will not satisfy the gentlemen. They will next want the correspondence of our foreign ministers, and this they know cannot be printed. I am willing, with these observations, to trust my conduct with those by whom I am elected. A representative is not responsible for the wisdom of measures. All he is answerable for, is an honest exercise of his judgment. On the present, as on every other occasion, I am certain, I have honestly exercised for the public good, that understanding which God and nature has bestowed on me.

VIENNA, February 15.
The military court commission, nominated to visit with the severity of the laws the different offences committed during the last war, has commenced its sittings under the presidency of baron Melas.
His royal highness the archduke Charles is promoted to the dignity of generalissimo of the imperial army, which was accompanied by the following letter:
"MY DEAR BROTHER,
"After the unhappy events which have lately taken place, and peace obtained by such great sacrifices, there is an indispensable necessity for putting the military in a situation adequate to the population of the country and the situation of the finances, which shall be distinguishable for its order and precision, and shall afford the best protection for my hereditary states. My first step to obtain this end, is to put you at the head of all my armies in the quality of generalissimo.
"When the troops shall be sensible that, in case I shall be forced into a war, they will be under your command, the idea will reveal, to those who have seen service, the glory they have acquired on the field of battle so many times, when you commanded them—it will inspire others with confidence in the talents, the bravery and foresight of their general, who led them by the surest paths to victory. With the dignity of generalissimo, I confer upon you the direction of all my military forces during the time of peace, in such a manner that the Aulic council and every other military administration, shall be subject to your orders. I shall to-day inform you of my pleasure in a manner more in detail, in a letter written by myself, which shall define the sphere of your activity, as well as that of the authorities which are subject to you. I expect at the same time, from your intelligence and your indefatigable exertions, the formation of new plans for ameliorating the present system, and also the most efficacious attention to the punctuality and the propriety of their execution.
(Signed)
"FRANCIS."

Prince Charles has erased general Mack's name from the list of generals; and his employment as chief of the staff has been conferred on general Meyer, who enjoys the particular confidence of the archduke.
BATTLE OF AUSTERLITZ.
The Russian official account of the battle of Austerlitz.
[From the Petersburg Journal of February 2.]
TROPPAU, January 25.
The issue of the battle of Austerlitz has been so well confirmed by its consequences that it is almost incredible how France could publish such extravagant and untrue relations of that affair. All Europe, and the Russian nation in particular, justly expect a relation on our part. The love of truth alone, and the wish to adduce none but well authenticated facts, have hitherto prevented the appearance of this relation. In the mean time while it is necessary to correct some of the statements of the French bulletins, particularly the 30th, and to lay them before the public.
General Savary spoke with two persons only belonging to the emperor's suite; and excepting these, he only saw some field adjutants, who had brought dispatches from their chiefs, or were in waiting to transmit orders to them.
The chief of the French nation might not have derived any pleasure from the conversation of prince Dolgorucky; but he at the same time forgets that the Russians did not belong to those nations who sought his protection.
The number of the allied army, as stated in the bulletins, "was 105,000 men, viz. 80,000 Russians and 25,000 Austrians, and the French much inferior." But why were their numbers not given? Besides the reserve, which alone was said to be equal to an army, the enemy's force consisted of four large divisions of 20,000 infantry and 3000 cavalry each, commanded by a marshal and two generals of division. The

combined army, on the other hand, consisted of 52,000 Russians and 17,000 Austrians. But this inferiority in number was the most misfortune of the Russian army: the scarcity of provisions was so great, that for nearly two days preceding the battle, they had nothing to eat. The horses were fished to such a degree, that those belonging to the artillery could no longer draw. Of course, in the battle, the artillery was of little use, excepting in those stations where it was at first planted. The total failure of provisions and forage was alone sufficient to prevent our maintaining our post any longer at Olmutz, or to take another station further in the rear. These circumstances urged the necessity of the battle, the happy result of which could only be expected from the valor of the troops. The imperial guard, of which it is said, in a bulletin, that it lost all its colors, are still in possession of them, and have taken one pair from the enemy. The combined army, it is said, lost 15,000 killed and 20,000 prisoners. Do they include among these the 20,000 said to have been drowned.
After so many forced marches, and so much fatigue and hunger as had been sustained, with the sickness consequent thereunto; after the affairs on the Danube and in Moravia; of the whole Russian army there is not a deficiency of more than 17,000 men. But, were the loss as considerable as the bulletin has pretended, why was not the Russian army pursued, as that Bulletin itself asserts? On the contrary, the Russian army kept the field till the next morning. The armistice was not concluded, but with the Emperor of Germany, at whose particular desire the Russians first commenced their retreat, and which was also effected in good order and without loss, notwithstanding the French partly assert, that during the negotiation with Austria, the French army prosecuted its victories. To enhance the glory of this day the French bulletin says, that the French Guard (the reserve corps) took no part in the battle. The same bulletin however, afterwards asserts, that when one French battalion was broken by the Russian Guard, Bonaparte ordered Marshall Bessieres to advance, and that the Imperial Guards on both sides immediately came to action.
BOSTON, May 8. A BRIEF VIEW Or Expose of the state of the French nation.
On the 4th of March, M. Champagny, minister of the interior, presented the Expose of the French empire to the legislative body. The orator begins with the elevation of Bonaparte to the imperial dignity, and proceeds to the journey which he afterwards took through France, and his visit to Milan. It notices the great amelioration in the internal state of France, particularly at Troyes, Lyons and Savoy. Piedmont, Parma, Plaisance, Genoa, and the other states on the other side of the Alps, are there represented as greatly ameliorated by the late revolutions and changes which he had effected, and their union and connection with France. It then proceeds to represent him at Boulogne, preparing for the invasion of England, when the coalition obliged him to transport his army into Germany. After touching upon the event of the war, it proceeds to give a picture of the tranquillity which reigned in France during the absence of the emperor and the army. "Paris (it says) did not contain a soldier, and yet never was public order more strictly maintained; never were the laws better executed. France obeyed the name of its sovereign, or rather the sentiment of love and admiration which she felt. It was this sentiment which hastened the progress of the conscription, and made its produce threefold before the time which the contingent was expected to be raised. It is the sentiment of devotion and military ardor, which animates those young men who press to enrol themselves in the emperor's guard of honor, and who alone may regret the rapidity of those exploits, in which they had no part. It was in the midst of these immense and painful labors, when the emperor given up to the chances and combinations of war; experiencing all the fatigues of a private soldier; exposed to all the intemperance of a rigorous season, and often having no bed but a truss of straw, no covering but the heavy cloak, from whence all the fire of his genius seemed to emanate; even then, at the distance of three hundred leagues, he held the reins of the administration of France,
carefully inspecting the smallest details; occupied equally with the good of his people, as with that of his soldiers; seeing all, knowing all, resembling that invisible spirit that governs the world, and who is only seen in his power and benevolence. Peace was concluded before, in many parts of France, it was scarcely known that the war had begun; a war not so long as your annual session, and the consequences of which must embrace future ages, Europe, and the other parts of the world. Turin, a widow, after the loss of its kings, is comforted by a splendid promise. A brother of the emperor will govern this fine country, and his known character is a guarantee of the happiness which he will confer upon it. He will reside at Turin. An amiable and brilliant court will amply indemnify that city for what it has lost. Its magnificent palace will become the residence of goodness and the graces. Formerly a melancholy fortress, surrounded with enemies; now it is open to France and Italy, of which intercourse it appears to be the central point; it will in future be surrounded only by friendly nations and commerce, and the arts will speedily settle there, and diffuse their benefits."
Of Italy it says, "Italy has changed its face, and the ancient kingdom of the Lombards is restored at the voice of Napoleon. Italy, reposing under the shade of the monarchy, from its long convulsions, has no longer any cause to envy France. The same breath animates it; the same power protects it; the same spirit formed its new institutions, accommodating them to its situation and its manners. Milan has saluted, in the name of its king, him whom it had called its deliverer. Mantua received with transport him who was under its walls, the vanquisher of five armies, sent to defend it. Italy is proud of receiving laws from a new Charlemagne, and fancies that she sees springing up with her ancient glory, all the prosperity which her climate and her soil entitle her to. Displaying a new character, she hopes to prove, that her long weakness was the vice of her institutions, and not the fault of its inhabitants. If courage and genius have made war, generosity and moderation have concluded peace; a sovereign unfortunate in war has recovered, by peace, a great portion of his dominions; his losses are nothing in comparison to the risk which was incurred by the monarchy of which he is the chief. France, our allies have had their power extended, and their titles ennobled. The bounty of the emperor has surrounded France with nations friendly to her government. Italy, the noble daughter of France and who promises to be worthy of her parent, has reaped the fruits of the war. But her power is our own; her opulence adds to our prosperity; our enemies are driven from her shores, and they can no longer have commercial relations with her. This rich soil is snatched from their avidity. Italy is a conquest obtained over England. She is united to Germany by the two fold bond of proximity and friendship; and by that alliance which her prince has contracted with the daughter of one of the most powerful sovereigns of the Germanic empire, tranquillity is now assured to the peaceful inhabitants of the mountains of the Tyrol. Commerce will enrich its deserted vallies; conquest will prove a blessing."
The Expose next proceeds to describe the various improvements in the interior administration, and the immense national works which are in contemplation; and then says; "But here, and it is necessary to declare it boldly to the nation, that its safety requires that a numerous army should be kept on foot; that fleets should be constructed, and seamen raised to protect our commerce, our colonies, and our rights. These circumstances require productive finances."
The emperor thinks 800,000,000 will be necessary in time of war, and upwards of 600 during peace; as the fate of a country should never be left to the mercy of an obscure plot, nor any intrigue of a cabinet; but in all cases, it should be ready to make head against any storm, and silence the jealous clamors of its enemies. It is the will of the emperor, as well as the desire of the whole nation, to augment our navy; and as we lost some ships in the late engagements, it is a new motive for redoubling our ardor. A great number of our cruizers are scouring the seas, and have attacked the commerce of our enemies in the remotest regions. Our whole flotilla shall shortly revive by the return to its banks of the conquerors of Ulm and Austerlitz. But all those warlike measures shall be nothing more than measures to peace, and even of a moderate peace, in which we shall secure the pledge of not being surprised and seized upon under the most vain and perfidious pretences; it were otherwise better to en-
dure still the miseries of war, rather than make a peace which would expose us to new losses, and afford fresh aliment to the bad faith and avarice of our enemies."
The union of Piedmont with France is represented as a measure which was rendered necessary, by the French being in possession of Genoa; but it is added that that union does not increase the strength of France. "It was not only the kingdom of Italy, of which they (the coalition) would deprive us; Piedmont, Savoy, the Duchy of Nice, even Lyons, and the united departments, Holland, Belgium, the fortresses on the Meuse, these were the conquests prescribed to the confederates by England; and to this they certainly would not have confined themselves, if they had triumphed over the perseverance of the French people. England attaches no great interest to Italy. Belgium is the true ground of the hatred which she bears to us. But Holland, the 110th department of France, the kingdom of Italy, Venice, Dalmatia, Istria and Naples, are now under the protection of the imperial eagle; and the union of those states only affords us the means of being formidable on our frontiers and coasts. The emperor, after each victory offered peace to Austria. He also offered it to Naples before the war; peace was violated as soon as sworn, and which has produced the downfall of that house. He also offers it to England. He does not mean to force that power to recede from the prodigious changes made in India, as little as Austria and Russia from the Partition of Poland; but he has a right to refuse to recede from the alliances and unions which form the new federative systems of the French empire. Turkey has continued under the yoke of Russia; and it was the emperor's chief aim, by getting Dalmatia in his hands, to be ready to protect the most ancient of our allies, to enable him to maintain his independence, which is of more importance to France than to any other power. The first coalition terminated by the treaty of Campo Formio, had the favourable issue for France of the acquisition of Belgium, the frontier separation of the Rhine, the bringing of Holland under the federative influence of France, and the conquest of the states now forming the kingdom of Italy. The second coalition gave it Piedmont; and the third brings Venice and Naples under the federative system. Let England be finally convinced of her easiness; let her not try to operate a fourth coalition, if it were, in the nature of things, possible to renew it."

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, MAY 16.
Extract of a letter from Havana, dated Ap. 6. "I am surprised to see in much in the United States papers respecting the political relations between the United States and Spain. I am confident that one half the Gazette accounts are nothing more than mere fabrication, as I already know some of them to be. It seems to be insinuated that hostile appearances are manifested by this government, but I assure you that it is directly the contrary, and that a very pacific disposition is entertained towards the Americans, and there appears to have been nothing of a hostile nature received from the court of Madrid, and it is the prevailing opinion here that all differences between the two nations will be amicably settled."
Captain Risbrough, from St. Pierres, Martinique, informs, that the officers of the customs are very strict owing to several late detections in attempts to smuggle, to evade the duties:—4 vessels had been seized; 2 of them were liberated, paying a fine of 500 dollars each. Markets at Martinico, (April 17) and the adjacent islands, for United States, very low. Colonial produce high; sugar 6 dollars 50 cents to 7 50; coffee 45 to 50; cocoa 27 to 30; molasses 40 to 45. Markets low at St. Croix, 23th April; above which date, no sale at St. Thomas. At Marin, (Mart.) 7th April, fish at 4—beef 9; butter 28 fns; lard 35; sweet oil 4 dls. per dozen; lumber no demand. The above in baster for sugar, 7 dls. to 7 50; molasses 45 to 47 fous. [Boston pap.]
Ten or twelve years since the Jacobins predicted that in ten years there would not be an Emperor, King, Prince, or nobleman in Europe—But we find, in spite of the annihilation of these sort of folks, Bonaparte can manufacture them almost as fast as a gingerbread baker. In a late batch he produced no less than three Kings, and nobody knows how many Princes, &c. &c. And it is said he has now in dough two or three more Kings, besides a new Emperor of the North—But notwithstanding he thus mars "republican" predictions, no one enjoys more of their homage and high consideration.

He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow, often easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life.

The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachel Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as Intermitting Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholic, Colicwinds, Female complaints, &c. The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.
A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 40 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Biliary Pills, or, Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and effect of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti-biliary bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.

It like-wise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth.
