EPITOME OF ALL THE ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF VIRGINIA, OF A PUBLIC NATURE, PASSED AT THEIR DECEMBER SESSION, 1805. IN SENATE, January 20, 1806.
PHILIP DODDRIDGE, Esq. one of the members of this House, entered the following protest, against the resolution relative to the president of the United States, which was agreed to by the House, on Monday the 6th instant, to wit:
The dissent of Phillip Doddridge, in Senate, to the resolutions "declaring the confidence of the General Assembly, in the wisdom, virtue and firmness of the President of the United States, and its readiness whenever Congress shall direct to join in a contest with any nation, &c. and also to the preamble to the resolution."
This dissentient protests against so much of the said resolution as declares the confidence of the General Assembly, in the wisdom, virtue and firmness of the President:
1st. Because, by the constitution of the United States, the power to appoint a president is given to the electors of the several states, and not to the states; and the power of removal to the proper authorities of the general government; and consequently the right to judge of the president's virtues or vices, as a man and of his qualifications as a public officer, belongs to the electors as incident to the power of appointment, while to judge officially of his official conduct belongs to the proper authorities, as incident to the power of removal; whence it follows, that so far as the terms wisdom virtue and firmness are intended by the resolution, to apply to the President, either as an individual or as president, the General Assembly are not delegated to apply them, nor can they express an official opinion. This dissentient, therefore protests against the wasting of time and the public money in passing resolutions founded on no legitimate authority, and which, in his opinion can have no other tendency, than, for a while to hide from public view the vices of a character already too apparent to be concealed.
2nd. Because the endowments of wisdom, virtue and firmness, so far as this dissentient can discern, are not in truth possessed by the gentleman who is now president; and this dissentient protests against so much of the resolution as attributes them, for the following reasons and arguments:
It is justly said, that to be wise, is to possess a "luminous preception of truth, with the faculty to make the best use of it;" and although a luminous preception of truth may be enjoyed by this gentleman, yet, that he does not possess the faculty to make the best, or even a good use of it, this dissentient thinks is fully evinced by the following facts:
In 1782, when the people of the states had neither experienced those party dissensions, nor known these intollient principles which now agitate them; when the honest opinions of our statesmen were communicated without disguise; at a time too when the gentleman who is now President enjoyed the advantages of ripened years, and long and various experience, he perceived, and in "the notes on Virginia" maintained this truth; that because the executive and judiciary officers of Virginia were appointed by the legislature and held their salaries at its will, "all the powers of government, legislative, executive and judiciary, resulted to the legislative body;" and "that the concentrating these in the same hands is precisely the definition of despotic government;" but notwithstanding the preception of this truth, did as president approve an act of Congress, the passing of which he advised, abolishing the offices of sixteen judges, who held their appointments under the constitution during good behavior; the consequences of which act was, as their dissentient supposes, that the judiciary powers of the United States "resulted to the legislative body," which, in part, "is precisely the definition of despotic government."
At the same period, 1782, this gentleman perceived the truth of that policy which would deny to a foreigner an admission to the rights of citizenship among us; and maintained in his "notes on Virginia" that it was "better to carry our provisions and materials to workmen abroad, than to bring them to the provisions and materials, and with them their pernicious manners and principles;" but so far from making any use of this truth after he became president,
approved laws admitting aliens to the rights of citizenship on easier terms, and upon a shorter residence than were before required of them.
From the "Notes on Virginia," it further appears, that this gentleman in 1782, perceived this self-evident truth, "that as the actual habits of our countrymen attach them to commerce," our commerce and coasts ought to be defended, by fleets as strong as the weaker nations of Europe holding possessions in one neighborhood "can detach": "That the sea is the field on which we should meet an European enemy," and "that on that element it is necessary we should possess some force," and yet was so far from making a proper use of this truth, that, when a private citizen, he condemned the use of it by the late president; and when he had attained to that office himself, at a time when those disputes with Tripoli, which ended in war, were depending, deemed it expedient to dispose of all the public armed vessels, which an act of the former administration authorised the president to sell, when he should deem it proper, and within a few days before the commencement of that war advised and executed a measure for disbanding a large proportion of the marines, by the laws of the past administration ordered to be retained in service; whose places he was compelled to supply by an almost immediate enlistment.
This gentleman's want of wisdom, as president, is further evinced, by the omission to repair our heaviest frigates and equip them for the Mediterranean service, during the two first years of a war with Tripoli, when their services were constantly necessary and demanded by the commander; by his order appointing a time for the sailing of these frigates to the Mediterranean; and his omission to ascertain their unfitness until the time had arrived; by his order dispatching the frigate Adams, with her full complement of men, provisions and guns, without her gun carriages, to notify the commander of the condition of the others; by his advice to congress to erect dry docks for the navy; and by his communications respecting "a mountain of solid rock-salt, one hundred and eighty miles long, and forty-five miles wide," said to be situated somewhere in Louisiana, without one "shrub or tree" upon it.
If the term virtue in the resolution is intended to mean moral and political integrity, one single transaction of this gentleman's life renders his destitution of this quality apparent to this dissentient's understanding; this he begs leave to state, passing by all those other numerous circumstances which have weight on his mind.
On the 6th day of September 1799, when one James Thompson Callender was engaged in writing a book, called the Prospect before us , libelling the public and private reputation of the deliverer of this country, general Washington, and of Mr. Adams, then president, a book containing such foul and base calumnies as have perhaps never been equalled by the wickedness of the worst men in the most corrupt times, the now president wrote a letter to him in which are these words: "Mr. Jefferson (a relative of that name) is here and directs his agent to call on you with this and pay you 50 dollars on account of the book you are about to publish; when it is out be so good as to send me 2 or 3 copies and the rest only when I shall send for them; and on the 6th day of October following, when that book was nearly printed, wrote to Mr. Callender another letter, in which are these words: "I thank you for the proof sheets you enclosed me; such papers cannot fail to produce the best effect. They inform the thinking part of the nation, and these again supported by the tax-gatherers as their vouchers, set the people right." The writer of the " Prospect before us " was fined and imprisoned for the publication of that book, and the president having attained to his office, ordered the fine to be refunded without any appropriation by law. This dissentient's conclusions from these facts may be very erroneous indeed, but he cannot resolve that the president is virtuous, without prostituting the term, and with it the clearest convictions of his own understanding.
If firmness consists in that stability of character which enables us to pursue the purposes of our own minds, in a conformity of actions with principles, then it seems to this dissentient that most of the reasons urged against the President's wisdom and virtue are conclusive against his firmness; he who believes in the necessity of a navy, and yet opposes its establishment, and when established destroys or weakens it; and when pressed by the public emergencies to restore it, replaces it with gun boats, in
the dissentient's opinion, has not the firmness to acknowledge a past error, and his opinion is the same respecting him, who advises against the admission of foreign manufactures into this country, yet renders more easy their admission to citizenship; who deplores the submission of the judiciary to the legislative body, yet advises and compels that submission; who could compliment the " Prospect Before Us ," and afterwards in an inaugural address eulogise the character of General Washington, in a manner as universal as the mind can conceive and the tongue declare; in short, in this dissentient's opinion there is no weakness more deplorable than that which disables a great man to be consistent with himself at any two periods of his life.
This dissentient protests against the preamble: 1st. Because the constitution of the United States has confided to the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, the power of making treaties; and to Congress that of levying war, and as incident to the last rights to decide on causes of war. Congress are now deliberating on all the subjects referred to in the preamble, and respect for their authority requires that this Assembly should leave those subjects to their decision, while our duty to our own constituents seems to demand that we should not exercise, in their name, a power not delegated by them to us.
2d. Because from a view of all the documents published, this dissentient, is not satisfied that the United States have acquired any right to the province of West Florida, and unless they have, the reprisals of Spain are justified by the measures of the administration, in regard to that province; on this subject however, he will cheerfully abide and support the decision of those to whom the power of judging belongs. This dissentient knowing of no other nation except England to which the other complaints in the preamble can justly relate at this time, cannot approve those general phrases which may give offence to nations not meriting censure, nor can he approve of that timidity which shrinks from mentioning England, when England is intended.
3d. Because that part of the preamble which acknowledges that "our coasts are infested, our harbours watched, and our seamen impressed," seems to be at variance with the resolution and may be converted into satire. Our gun boats are either not equal to the defence of our harbours mouths, or they have not been ordered to defend them; if the first be true, the folly of erecting them appears to be demonstrated; if the latter, then the President's firmness is rendered in some degree questionable.
Conceiving that so much of the resolutions as promises the support of this state to such measures as the general government may ordain in relation to foreign nations, comes within the powers of the general assembly, this dissentient most readily concurs therein."
P. DODDRIDGE.

Twenty-seventh Bulletin of the Grand Army.
Porlitz, Nov. 19, 1805.
Since the battle of Zuntersdorff, the enemy has continued to retreat with the utmost precipitation. General Sebastiani, with his brigade of dragoons pursued them sword in hand. The vast plains of Moravia have favored his pursuit. The 18th on the heights of Porlitz he cut off the retreat of several corps, and during the day made two thousand Russians prisoners.
Prince Murat, entered Brunn, the capital of Moravia, at three o'clock P. M. still in pursuit of the enemy, who evacuated the city and the citadel, the latter is a fine structure and capable of sustaining a formal siege.
The emperor has removed his head-quarters to Porlitz.
Marshal Soult, with his corps of the army is at Riemstschitz. Marshal Lannes is before Porlitz.
The Moravians entertain even a greater hatred against the Russians and stronger friendship for us than the Austrians. The country is beautiful and much more fertile than Austria. The Moravians were astonished on beholding in their immense plains, the inhabitants of the Ukraine, of Kamsthatka, and of Great Tartary, the Normans, the Gascons, the Bretons, &c. come among them to cut each others throats without their country having any thing in common with them, or any immediate political connexion; and they have good sense enough to declare bluntly, that human blood is an object of traffic in the hands of the English. A wealthy Moravian said lately to a French officer, in speaking of the emperor Joseph II. that he was the friend of the peasant, and if he were alive, he would have freed them from those feudal taxes which they now pay to the religious convents.
We have found at Brunn, sixty pieces of cannon, three hundred thousand pounds of powder, a great quantity of wheat and flour and considerable magazines of cloathing.
The emperor of Germany has retired to Olmutz. Our posts are within one march of that place.
Twenty-Eighth Bulletin.
Brunn, 21st November, 1805.
The emperor entered Brunn the 20th, at 10 o'clock, A. M. A deputation from the states of Moravia, at the head of which was the bishop, came to meet him. The emperor visited the fortifications, and gave orders that the citadel should be fortified, in which were found upwards of 6000 muskets, great quantities of munitions of war of all kinds; among others, 400,000 lbs. of powder. The Russians had united all their cavalry, which composed a corps of about 6000 men, and were disposed to defend their position at the junction of the roads between Brunn and Olmutz. Gen. Walthier, obliged them by different onsets to quit the ground. Gen. Murat dispatched to his assistance D'Hautpoul's division of cuirassiers, and 4 squadrons of the imperial guards. Tho' our horses were much fatigued, the enemy were attacked and put to flight. They left more than 200 chosen dragoons on the field of battle, and 100 horses fell into our hands.
Marshal Bessieres, commanding the imperial guards, at the head of four squadrons of the guards, made a brilliant attack which threw them into confusion and put them to route. Nothing could form a greater contrast than the silence of the guards of cuirassiers and the uproar of the Russians.
This body of Russian cavalry is well mounted and well equipped, and has shewn great bravery and resolution; but they did not appear to be well acquainted with the use of their sabres; and in that point our cavalry has a great advantage. We had some men killed and 60 wounded, amongst whom are col. Dursonel of the 16th chasseurs, and col. Bourdon of the 11th dragoons. The enemy has fallen back several leagues.
Twenty-ninth Bulletin of the Grand Army.
Brunn, November 23.
Marshal Ney has occupied Briken, after having taken many prisoners from the enemy. He found in the hospital a great number of sick and wounded Austrians. On the 17th November he made himself master of Clauzen and Botzen.
General Jallachich, who defended the Voralberg, has been cut off. Marshal Bernadotte occupies Iglau. His troops have entered Bohemia.
General Wreden, commanding the Bavarians, has taken a company of Austrian artillery, 100 horses, 50 cuirassiers and several officers. He made himself master of a considerable magazine of oats and other grain, & of many carriages laden with the baggage of several regiments and Austrian officers.
The adjutant commander Maison, has made 200 dragoons of La Tour and cuirassiers of Hohenlohe, prisoners, on his way from Iglau to Brunn. He attacked another detachment of 200 men and made 50 prisoners.
Information has reached us from Olmutz. The court has evacuated that place and retired to Poland. The French army has taken up its quarters. Its van is supported by Brunn, which is a strong place and which they are now busy in putting into the best state of defence.
Sixth Bulletin of the Army of Italy.
Head Quarts at Passarino. Nov. 13, 1805.
The army in its march to the Piave, has met with very few obstacles. From the Piave to the Tagliamento, they saw several corps of cavalry flying before them, but whose retreat was calculated to prevent any engagement.
It was at the Tagliamento that the enemy seemed to await us. He had effected a junction on the left bank of 6 regiments of cavalry and 4 regiments of infantry, and their appearance indicated that they meant to make a vigorous defence of its passage. The general in chief had at first only an intention of reconnoitering their position. The gen. Espagoe, commanding the division of mounted chasseurs, the dragoons under the orders of Gen. Marmet, and the cuirassiers, commanded by gen. Pulley, embarked on the river, while the division of Duesne and Seras, marched to St. Vittor, and those of gens. Molitor and G. to,

...directed their march to Valvasone. Gen. Espague had received orders to move forward. On the 12th at 6 o'clock a M. a squadron which he had directed in advance was attacked by a regiment of Austrian cavalry. It sustained the charge with intrepidity, and gave time to Gen. Espague to get in advance of the enemy, who were quickly repulsed and put to flight. In the mean time our artillery was brought up, and the cannonade commenced from each side of the river. It was very brisk and lasted the whole day. The enemy had placed 30 pieces of cannon behind a dyke; we had but 18, and our artillery displayed their usual superiority. The divisions of the army arrived towards evening. The general in chief, satisfied with the advantages which he had obtained, & confident of fresh success, did not wish to effect its passage at that time. He contented himself with making dispositions for the following day, in order to strike a more decisive blow. The divisions formed a junction at the destination pointed out—and at Valvasone, it was at these two points that they intended to pass the river in order to flank and cut off the enemy. Prince Charles undoubtedly feared the execution of this plan. He did not judge it convenient to maintain his position till the following day but at mid-night retreated along the road to Palmanova. Our army passed the Tagliamento, with the regret of not finding an enemy to fight with, and it was then that they discovered the result of the action of the preceding day—the left bank of the river being covered with men and horses who had fallen under the fire of our artillery. The army continues its march. The hope of overtaking and combatting the enemy, increases their ardor. They hear of all the proceedings of the grand army & the desire of seconding its movements and justifying the confidence of the emperor, stimulates and animates it incessantly. The advanced guard daily makes prisoners, who augment the number already made. The weather is still favorable, and they are busy in repairing the bridges of the Raive and of the Tagliamento.
Seventh Bulletin of the Army of Italy.
Head-Quarters, Gorizia, Nov. 23. The army maintains the position which it had taken on the left bank of the Isonzo. The advanced guard, under the orders of general Espague, established itself on the Vipacco, repulsed the enemy as far as Gava, and in several attacks, which were performed with vigour, made one hundred prisoners. The whole of their cavalry was retired by the great road. A considerable body of their infantry took the road by the valley of Isonzo, to gain that of Oberleybach. Five companies of voltigeurs are pursuing the enemy in that direction, while our advanced posts have reached the intrenchments of Provale, and have taken a direction towards Leybach. The general in chief has sent the division Seras to Trieste. The Austrians evacuated the place at our approach, leaving 300 of their wounded. A corps of troops pursued them on the way to Leybach and took 50 prisoners. Two regiments of dragons, supported by infantry, have proceeded on our left as far as Chiusa de Pletz, which was guarded by the two regiments of infantry Szabolcs and Deligne and some cavalry. All the posts were abandoned the day after the arrival of our troops. The general of brigade Lacu, who commands them, has received orders to penetrate as far as Villach, and to endeavor to open a communication with the grand army, whose movements have without doubt, determined the retreat of the enemy, who were afraid of being surrounded. A detachment has also been sent to Ponteba Veneta, where the enemy were pretty strong, but did not dare to wait our arrival. In these various movements we have taken nearly four hundred prisoners. The general in chief has left near Pandua, the corps of troops from Naples, to which he has added a division, the army, the Corsican legion and the 2d Italian regiment. Lieutenant general Gouvain St. Cyr, who commands the united forces, holds Chiozza and Brondolo, and keeps himself prepared to fall on the British and Russians, if they dare attempt the disembarkation with which they threaten the coast of Italy.

By the arrival of the brig Wheeler, capt. Besson, from Guadalupe, we learn that advices had been received at Barbadoes, that fourteen sail of the line of the Brest Fleet, had got out, and were supposed to be destined for the West Indies, where, however, they had not arrived when the Wheeler sailed, which was on the 18th of the last month. In consequence of the expectation that the Brest Fleet were destined for the West Indies, admirals Duckworth and Louis had been despatched for, and arrived at Barbados the 12th of last month with 5 sail of the line. The whole British force to windward consisted of 8 sail of the line, and 12 frigates, under admirals Duckworth, Louis and Cochrane. [Norfolk Public Ledger.]
A superb structure is about to be erected in London, which, from its form, will be denominated "The London Amphitheatre," and will be divided into lecture theatres, appropriated for history, chemistry, navigation, mathematics, philosophy, genealogy, chronology, and trade; to which will be added, a library, suited to the above purposes, that will surpass any of its kind in Europe. Upwards of £250,000 is already subscribed towards this great undertaking. Monthly Magazine for November, 1805.

The following is MR. MADISON'S MOTION,
For commercial restrictions, in a committee of the whole house, on the report of the secretary of state (Mr. Jefferson,) on the privileges and restrictions on the commerce of the United States, in foreign countries.
MADE IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE HOUSE, ON THE STATE OF THE UNION, January 3, 1794.
Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that the interest of the United States would be promoted by further restrictions and higher duties, in certain cases,
on the manufactures and navigation of foreign nations employed in the commerce of the United States, than those now imposed.
1. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that an additional duty ought to be laid on the following articles manufactured by European nations, having no commercial treaty with the United States:
On all articles of which leather is the material of chief value, an additional duty of per cent. ad valorem.
On all manufactured iron, steel, tin, pewter, copper, brass, or articles of which either of these metals is the material of chief value, an additional duty of per cent. ad valorem.
On all articles of which cotton is the material of chief value, an additional duty of per cent. ad valorem.
On all cloths of which wool is the material of chief value, where the estimated value on which the duty is payable, is above an additional duty of per cent. ad valorem; where such value is below an additional duty of per cent. ad valorem.
On all other articles of which wool is the material of chief value, an additional duty of per cent. ad valorem.
On all cloths of which hemp or flax is the material of chief value, and of which the estimated value on which the duty is payable is below an additional duty of per cent. ad valorem.
On all manufactures of which silk is the material of chief value, an additional duty of per cent. ad valorem.
2. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that an additional duty of per cent. ought to be laid on the vessels belonging to nations having no commercial treaty with the United States.
3. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that the duty on vessels belonging to nations having commercial treaties with the United States ought to be reduced to per ton.
4. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that where any nation may refuse to consider as vessels of the United States, any vessels not built within the U. States, the foreign built vessels of such nation ought to be subjected to a like refusal, unless built within the United States.
5. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that where any nation may refuse to admit the produce or manufactures of the United States, or to admit them in vessels of the U. States, if last imported from any place not within the U. States, a like restriction ought, after the day of to be extended to the produce and manufactures of such nation, and that, in the mean time, a duty of per ton extraordinary, ought to be imposed on vessels so importing any such produce or manufacture.
6. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that where any nation may refuse to the vessels of the United States, a carriage of the produce or manufactures thereof, whilst such produce or manufactures are admitted by it in its own vessels, it would be just to make the restriction reciprocal: but inasmuch as such a measure if suddenly adopted, might be particularly distressing in cases which merit the benevolent attention of the United States, it is expedient for the present, that a tonnage extraordinary, only of be imposed on the vessels so employed; and that all distilled spirits imported therein, shall be subjected to an additional duty of one part of the existing duty.
7. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that provision ought to be made for liquidating and ascertaining the losses sustained by citizens of the United States, from the operation of particular regulations of any country, contravening the laws of nations, and that such losses be reimbursed in the first instance, out of the additional duties on the manufactures, productions and vessels of the nation establishing such unlawful regulations.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asth- mas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Con- sumptions.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in tak- ing it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-Ge- neral of the state of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered me- dicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breath, accompanied with forcible and with obstructed and difficult breathing. On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very com- plicated 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 com- plaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent in- toxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases pecu- liar to females at a certain period of life—bad lying-in, &c. &c.
And is proved by a long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesse,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesse,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluoribus (or whites)  Obstinate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impover- ishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourish- ment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EX- TRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, valley, 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 prepara- rations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mus- tard, 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 let- ter useful you are at liberty to make it public. Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope maker, South Second street, be- tween Mary and Christian streets, Philadelphia, volun- tarily maketh oath as follows, namely, That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable me- dical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures perform- ed 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 danger- ous complaints arising from worms, and from obstinacy or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with vio- lence, on the contrary, a particular excellence of this and
its being suited to every age, and confirmation, and also contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and to mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, inasmuch as no worms exist in the body, but will, with out pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly effectual in carrying off all gross hu- mors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the least and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Asca- rides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often ma- ny yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagree- able breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupt- ed gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Con- vulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep— Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fatid stools—Vo- miting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attend- ed 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 ne- cessary 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 Har- ford 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 con- ceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite was lost rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away a- bout FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the pos- session 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 mild- ness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of in- fants.
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 accom- plish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very rest- less 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 appear- ance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite re- sembled 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 com- plexion. Upon different occasions I have used this me- dicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, to often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which I judge this me- dicine 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.
