An Accommodation Stage between Alexandria and Petersburg will also commence running at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sundays, and will travel only in the day time. On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Stafford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericksburg—The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg. Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria. The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

STORY OF MR. BOVENHOGUE.
I would premise that the gentleman who gave the following relation is a worthy, intelligent and respectable man; that from the beginning of the year 1793 to the close of the year 1796, he commanded a ship and traded chiefly from Holland to Guernsey. His name is left with the Editor, and if any one will please to call on him, he will, I am sure, relate the story in a much more interesting manner than I can pretend to, and satisfy the most incredulous that it is no fiction.
In the year 1793, said Captain H. I was in Holland and had business with Mr. Bovenhogue, an opulent citizen of Schiedam, a town situated about 4 or 5 miles from Rotterdam on the canal that communicates with the Maese. He had in Schiedam a beautiful seat, and a very large distillery. Williamstadt was at that time besieged by the French. One day sailing with him in his yacht on the canal, we distinctly heard the cannonade between the town and the French army. Hark! said Mr. B. Do you hear the cannon? that sound is music to my ear. I hope in less than two days the French will be masters of Rotterdam. Surely, said I, you cannot be serious. I am, said he, with quickness. Rather than the French should fail I could wish my daughter a beggar. This daughter was Mr. B.'s only child. Here, continued he, see this proclamation. The French want nothing from us. They only wish to knock off our chains, and they swear that the great nation shall never lay down their arms till they have planted the standard of liberty on the walls of China. These are fine words said I, but God forbid, they should ever plant their standard on the walls of Rotterdam.
Though Williamstadt at that time successfully resisted the French, yet it is well known that two years after, viz in January, 1795, they overran Holland; and Rotterdam, with the rest of the country, became their prey.
I was in Holland after this event, and again I had business with Mr. Bovenhogue. He agreed to meet me one day, at a certain hour, on the exchange at Rotterdam. I was punctual, but no Mr. Bovenhogue appeared. Alas! he was in a dungeon! When I saw him a few days after, he was in a sad condition. His head was bound up, and his face bruised and discolored. I am ruined, said Mr. B. as soon as he saw me. I am ruined by my friendship for the French. You yourself are a witness of my enthusiastic attachment to their cause before they entered my country. My zeal did not abate after they were masters of it. I welcomed them to my house, and to my bosom. It is not long since their commissary sent me a requisition for 18000 guilders. I immediately repaired to his quarters. Sir, said I, you have committed some mistake. Surely you know I was one of your party and facilitated, as far as in my power, your invasion of Holland. I know it well, said he, and expected before this time you, who as a patriot, would have made an offering to the great nation of double this sum on the altar of liberty. But you are a wavering patriot. I soon found remonstrances would be worse than useless. I paid him the money, and requested a certificate that I had advanced the French army the required sum; but no certificate could I obtain.
The commissary left us a few weeks ago, and another happy took his place. On the day I appointed to meet you, I received a requisition for 40,000 guilders. I waited upon him and endeavored to convince him of his injustice, but as I could make no impression, I consented to pay if he would give me a certificate. At this he lost all patience. Sir, said he, I make no conditions. There is a guard which shall not leave you till you produce the money. I give you one hour and no more. Provoked by his insolence, I could not restrain some angry expressions—but I was soon stopped. Take him to the dungeon, said he, and there he shall lie till he becomes a reasonable man. The commissary left the room. The guard instantly began to strip me. They left me scarce decent clothing. I was then carried to the prison and thrust into a dungeon, with the vilest malefactors.
These wretches beat me with their iron handcuffs, because I could not pay the entrance money of their dark abode, and the bruises which you see on my head, and the sores, are the consequence of their barbarous treatment. In this dungeon, as the commissary prophesied, I soon became a reasonable man, and consented to pay the 40,000 guilders without requiring certificate or receipt.
My business at this time with Mr. Bovenhogue was to purchase gin. I took a quantity on board my ship and contracted for a number of pipes more, to be delivered at any time on a short notice. After making several trips to Guernsey I returned to Rotterdam for the gin. But, alas, Mr. B. was not to be found. I went to his house at Schiedam. It was occupied by a French officer. I enquired for my friend. The officer had never heard his name. This gentleman treated me with great civility, and regretted he could give me no information. He informed me the troops in the neighborhood had been there but a little while. The detachment we succeeded, said the officer, have joined the army of the Rhine. I walked into town to get intelligence of Mr.
B. I went to his distillery in a boat. It was occupied as a barrack, and all I could learn about Mr. B. was, that he had been drafted as a soldier, and sent, with other conscripts, to fight, nobody knew where, the battles of liberty in the armies of the great nation! Mr. B. has never been heard of since. I will only add, that his wish has been accomplished—his daughter is a beggar.
FOREIGN.
(VIA PHILADELPHIA.)
LONDON, July 3.
Of the operations which preceded the surrender of the army of Dupont, the following few particulars are contained in private accounts:
"The Spanish General having received intelligence that a corps of 8000 men, was on its march to join gen. Dupont, resolved to attack him before the junction should take place, and the action commenced, as we already stated, on the 20th ult. It was most obstinately contested for some time, but at length the patriots prevailed, and Dupont was completely defeated, with very great loss. Gen. Castanos was preparing to attack him the next morning, when gen. Dupont; in order to save his whole army from destruction, proposed to surrender. A negotiation immediately took place, and the whole of the army, including 8000 men that were on their march to join him, surrendered prisoners of war with all the artillery, magazines, &c. So that, to use the words of gen. Castanos, in his official account of this glorious victory, "there is not now a single Frenchman in arms in the whole of Andalusia."
We are enabled to add, from authentic information, some further particulars not mentioned in the above brief dispatches.—Dupont, some time before the battle, had retreated from Andujar to Baylen, and the former town became the head quarters of the patriot army. Measures had been taken previously to the 19th to secure all the passes in the enemy's rear, so that his retreat was rendered impracticable. This service was entrusted to two very able officers, and armed peasantry, who daily harassed the French, narrowed the space from which they derived sustenance and reduced them to the greatest distress. Gen. Escalante commanded at La Carolina, 4 Spanish leagues north east from Baylen, on the road to Madrid and thus cut off the return of the enemy to that city. Gen. Reding occupied another very important post on the right of the French and a chain of communication being kept between these generals and the commander in chief Don Castanos, the enemy was surrounded on every side. The force under the immediate command of Dupont, was 12,000 men, but reinforcements to the amount of 8000 were advancing to endeavor to join him, when gen. Castanos gave him battle. The Spanish army was put in motion on the 19th and the battle commenced the 20th. The conflict was long and obstinate. We have not yet received any authentic account of the killed and wounded, but the loss must have been considerable. Dupont exhausted in vain, all the resources which tactical skill and long experience in warfare enabled him in his perilous situation to call forth. At last, to save the wreck of his army from total annihilation, he proposed to capitulate, and, as is stated above, surrendered to gen. Castanos.
There is a circumstance stated in the official accounts which deserve particular notice. The whole of the French army has not obtained the same terms: the forces under Dupont, which were defeated "are prisoners of war;"—those which were not engaged in the battle are to "evacuate the peninsula by sea."
By letters dated St. Andero, the 1st Aug. it appears, that a nobleman had arrived there who had escaped from Madrid on the 25th July. He says, that there were not above 12,000 French with Joseph Bonaparte, at Madrid; that they were fortifying the Retiro, and that the city was the most affliction spectacle possible. Several of the new ministers had made their escape from Madrid, and as the Duke D'Infantado was not there, it was hoped that he also had escaped.
Official advices have been this morning received from gen. Castanos' camp, up to the 17th ult. These state, that gen. Castanos having made all his preparations, and determined on his plan of attack, marched to Andujar on the 15th. Gen. Reding was to pass the river above Manjibar, and attack Baylen. The Marquis de Compigny was to pass at Villa Nova, and support gen. Reding. Gen. Castanos, with the 3d division and reserve, was to attack the bridges in front. Lieut. Col. Cruz was to pass the river at Montreolege, and to occupy the Sierra. Colonel Valde Pinos was to occupy Puerto del Roy.
On the 15th gen. Castanos took his position and cannonaded the French at Villa Nova, and killed about 200 of them. Col. Cruz was obliged to retire, by superior numbers of the enemy. Gen. Reding, with about 3000 men, attacked the enemy, who had about 5000, completely beat them, and took two pieces of cannon; but from want of provisions was obliged to retire to Maajibar.
On the 17th, after a council of war, it was determined to order the Marquis de Compigny, to join General Reding, and it was determined that Baylen should be attacked with two divisions, and a feigned attack to be made on Andujar with the third division.
By a letter intercepted from General Dupont to the Duke De Rovico, it appears that he was in great distress for provisions, and was in hopes of a reinforcement. These particulars naturally led to the glorious events which followed from the 17th to the 20th.
The surrender of Dupont to the Spanish, we trust, will be speedily followed by the surrender of Junot to the British. Sir Arthur Wellesley, as we stated yesterday, has landed, and was within two days march of Lisbon. But it is said that he did not land at Figueria, as it was supposed he would; he called there for the marines who had been debarked there some days before, and proceeded immediately to a place—Macrina, according to some accounts, between Peniche and Mefra, where he landed, and immediately began his march to Lisbon. This seems to have been a better point to effect a landing than Figueria; it shortens the march very considerably, and enables sir Arthur to commence operations against Junot sooner. His first object of attack will be the forts, the possession of which by the British will secure our fleet a free admission into the Tagus, and consequently the power of paying a visit to the Russians.
Information was yesterday received of the landing of Sir Arthur Wellesley with all his force. The landing did not take place at Figueria, as was generally expected, but between Peniche and Mafra; the latter is not more than 40 miles from Lisbon. Sir Arthur's force is stated to amount to 14,000 men. It is said, that he has been joined by that part of the Portuguese army which had assembled at Coimbra. Important, and we hope grateful news, may be hourly expected from that quarter.
The supreme junta of Oporto, acting for the whole of Portugal, we are informed, have requested to be supplied from this country with 30,000 stand of arms, and £300,000 in specie.
FROM THE SEVILLE GAZETTE
TO THE ANDALUSIANS, After the surrender of the French Army in the lower parts of Sierra Morena.
VALLIANT ANDALUSIANS! YOUR breasts have caught the spark of patriotism, and in a few days it kindled the fire which has destroyed the oppressor of the nation.
You determined to be free; and, in a moment, you had a tutelary government, and an army eager for battle and for triumph.
Those legions of Vandals, which, for a short time, surprised some of your towns, and delivered them up to pillage; those barbarians, puffed up with the victories obtained over ill-united nations, and who, loaded with plunder of Europe, were marching to carry desolation through the beautiful plains watered by the Betis have already felt the power of your loyalty and attachment to your country and religion.
Valiant Andalusians! yours is the glory of Marengo, of Gena and of Austerlitz. The laurels which wreathed the brows of those conquerors, are now at your feet.
May immortality be the lot of heroes, who has renewed in Sierra Morena the exploits of Fabius Maximus. Our children will say: Castanos triumphed over the French, and his glory did not fill the houses of our fathers with mourning. May the wreath of victory crown those brave warriors who have overthrown the fierce oppressors of humanity! May the enlightened government be forever blessed, which has defended our rights, and prepared our triumphs!
But you are not only Andalusians, you are Spaniards, fly, Sons of the Betis; fly to unite with your brothers of the Ebro, of the Duero, and of the Xucar; fly to break the fetters of the captives of the Tagus, of the Manzanares, and of the Llobregat!
Go, and erase from the Spanish soil the very footsteps of these traitors; go, and avenge, in their blood, the outrages which, sheltered by a cowardly and feeble government, they did not hesitate to heap upon you. Do you not hear the groans of those who fell on the 2d of May? Do you not

the complaints of the oppressed? Are we moved by the stifled sighs of our brethren, bewailing his separation from Spain? Andalusians! you will think no more of your king, and your independence. Already, you have a country; already, you have a great nation. Follow the path of virtue, which has, in the first place, been pointed out to you by the Lord of Hosts.

H. adds that it was generally believed in Cadiz, from the various accounts which had been received there, that Spain was entirely cleared of French troops, or rather, that there was not a Frenchman in arms in Spain!! General Dupont and all his army were prisoners in Baylen, and transports were preparing to carry them to France. General Duhamel had been put in close confinement, in consequence of his having been detected in attempting to excite an effort among the people to rise, to tamper with the loyalty of the Spaniards, and to act as a spy, as it respected the state of the country. To prevent any disturbances, the governor had ordered the inhabitants to take their arms home to their houses. It was reported, as fact, that AUSTRIA and PRUSSIA had declared against France, and some actions had taken place between the French and the Austrians. Lord Collingwood with five sail of the line and several frigates, was off Cadiz, but he had bound up the Mediterranean, as soon as he could learn the result of the landing of the British in Portugal. Accounts were received in Cadiz, on the 23d, from Mr. Irving; and capt. Harding has dispatches from him for government, which are important. The American vessels at Algeciras were liberated. Five of the captains were at the British frigate, and were promised by the Supreme Junta to be immediately set at liberty.
VICTORY IN PORTUGAL. On the 6th of September, close in with Michael's, captain Harding was boarded by the British frigate Eugene, five days from Lisbon bound to Halifax, after stopping a few hours at St. Michael's. Was received very politely and informed that the British took possession of Lisbon on the 30th of August, after a severe action with Junot's army, in which the British killed and wounded a great number of men, and captured 10,000 men, which had surrendered, consisting of 17,000 surviving troops. The Russian fleet had capitulated, and was to be sent to England. This frigate was bound from England with convoy off the Tagus—did not enter the Tagus—was off Michael's one day. The same day captain H. went ashore at Michael's; saw and conversed with Mr. Irving, the American consul, but he had no news of consequence—no American vessels there.
PHILADELPHIA, October 7. The brig Clarissa Claiborne, capt. Haws, from hence, bound to New Orleans, was boarded off the Mantanzas by a British armed brig, who after detaining her 8 hours, put a number of passengers on board, who they had taken out of a prize 10 days before—the brig being short of water owing to a long passage, was compelled to put into the Havanna for a supply of water for the additional persons put on board.
BALTIMORE, October 8. The brig St. MICHAELS, arrived at Annapolis last Thursday in 43 days from L'Orient. Mr. Nourse, the bearer of English dispatches landed in Hampton and proceeded to Washington. Mr. Nourse, bearer of dispatches from France arrived here this morning in a pilotboat on his way to Washington. The St. Michaels left L'Orient 21st August no news had transpired. The brig is now up, her letters and papers remain on board.
We have been favored with an interview with Mr. Wilder, the messenger from France; to whose politeness we are indebted for a file of the Journal De L'empire , Paris papers, to the 13th August inclusive. Mr. W. with an integrity properly attached to a public officer, felt in honor bound to disclose no secrets of state (if any he held;) so that we are confined in our verbal information to the reports by passengers &c.—The substance of which appears to be, that neither France nor England evince any disposition to relax their edicts against us. Napoleon was at Paris. On a hasty perusal of these papers, we find them, as usual, utterly silent on all political points. The heavy chain on the French press forever precludes all such matter as would most interest the readers in other countries. Not a word is to be found on the subject of Spanish affairs ; not a sentence relative to the troubles in the interior of France. Nothing of the volunteer conscripts , dragged in chains to distant fields for slaughter. For the present we give a few unimportant scraps; detailed translations in our next.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 20. Our fleet has sailed from Cronstadt under command of admiral Chankin, consisting of 9 sail of the line, 11 frigates and many smaller vessels. Its destination unknown. Several regiments are on their march to Finland. Sugar 1 ruble 50 copeks per pound; coffee 2 rubles 30 copeks.

Yesterday morning before day, his majesty, to test the fidelity of his troops, had an alarm sounded; instantaneously the whole army was embodied.
VIENNA, July 30. Some incendiaries set fire to the city of Odenburg, which was reduced to ashes.
FRANKFORT, August 10. Accounts from Stuttgart state, that all the Bavarian officers absent from the army are ordered to join their respective corps before the end of this month.
PARIS, August 11. A deputation has arrived from the government [republic] of the Seven Islands. This deputation awaits the Emperor's return to present at the foot of the throne the homage, fidelity and affection with which all the inhabitants of the islands are penetrated.
August 15. The Queen of Spain has gone to Monfontaine. We hear from Konigsburg that general Knobelsdorf, famous for his missions to Constantinople and Paris, is to be appointed minister from his Prussian majesty near his majesty the king of Holland.
Alexandria Daily Gazette.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 10. Mr. Nourse arrived on Friday at the seat of government, with dispatches from our minister in England. Mr. N. we learn had a short passage, but he utterly refuses to communicate any intelligence. "Mum's the word." [Washington Fed.]
It has been pretended, and by some believed, that the Spanish ports are still shut to all nations but the British. It has even been lately asserted, with a respectable name attached to the paragraph. But the rumor is altogether fallacious. The British orders, rescinding those of the 11th November, have been long ago republished in the United States, and they express no exception whatever. But the following very late letter, puts the matter beyond all doubt. North Amer.

IMPORTANT.
A merchant of this city, handed us, this forenoon, a letter from his correspondent at Cadiz, containing the following highly pleasing intelligence.
CADIZ, Aug. 26, 1808. "The British ships of war in this quarter and particularly off here, have received orders from the Admiralty to discharge all the American seamen on board of their respective vessels, and in consequence a great many have obtained their discharge and come on shore here; this you may state as a fact, as I can vouch for the truth of it, having
conversed with many of them since their liberation—this looks well. "Our vessels navigating in this quarter are treated politely by the English, and no obstacle is thrown in the way of our trade, which is admissible. This port being now open, all neutrals are admitted to a free entry—the blockade is raised, and some of the British men of war have quitted this station entirely. Lord Collingwood leaves here in a few days, to proceed to Barcelona, in Catalonia, which place, after being for a long time in possession of the French, is at length said to be entirely clear of them. It is computed that the French have already lost in this country an hundred thousand men in killed and prisoners. In all the actions with the French the Spaniards have behaved with great gallantry, and they begin to find that their enemies are not invincible, yet it is said they are some of those soldiers who conquered at Marengo, Austerlitz and Jena."
Yesterday the District Court of the U. S. resumed its session in this town, when his honor the Judge pronounced the CONSTITUTIONALITY of the Embargo Laws. Salem paper.
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated August 2d, 1808.
"The French are beaten in every part of Spain, and are flying in every direction.—God is on our side. There are upwards of thirty thousand French prisoners of war now in this city, among whom are several generals; five of their ships of the line and one frigate, are also in our possession.—The treacherous tyrant will be compelled to restore our young monarch. Ferdinand 7th, who will have the glory to give peace and freedom to Europe."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY FOR THE RICHMOND DISTRICT.
SEPTEMBER TERM, 1808.
MARKS vs MORRIS.
In this case, which involved a question of usury, the chancellor decided that where a man comes into a court of Equity, to be relieved from a deed of trust, founded upon an usurious transaction and the usury is proved by the testimony of witnesses, he shall be relieved not only from the interest but from the debt. In such a case, the decision of a court of Equity, the chancellor said, will be precisely the same with the decision of a Court of Law. In both courts the contract, as well as the security, is considered as void.
But if the borrower is unable to prove the usury, except by the defendant's answer, then the act of Assembly which speaks of suits in chancery, for the purpose of discovering usury, applies, and the borrower will be obliged to return the principal money borrowed.
DIED , in Botetourt, on the 28th ult. Gen. WILLIAM MOSELEY, of Richmond, the Treasurer of Virginia. Thus is numbered among the dead, another of our revolutionary heroes!

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

Hannah Lee, Patent Medicine Store, New York, Sept. 10, 1808.
Also, The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)  Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common laconic remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious ways to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT and RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.  THOMAS KELSO. Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness maker. It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
