EXTRACTS
From the documents respecting the application of Hamet Carmelli, ex-bashaw of Tripoli.
(CONTINUED.)
From Tobias Lear, to the secretary of the navy of the United States. — Concluded.
In the forenoon of the 2d of June, Mr. Nissen, his Danish majesty's consul at Tripoli, came off to the Constitution, bringing a commission from the bashaw, to negotiate with me on the articles of the treaty. As I had a sketch prepared I communicated it to Mr. Nissen, who observed that there were some articles more favorable to us than were to be found in any treaty which the bashaw had with any other nation; yet he would take them on shore and submit them to the bashaw. He did so, and returned on board again about 4 P. M. saying that the bashaw had assented to the articles; but was very desirous of having an article expressive of our determination to withdraw our forces from Derne, and that we should endeavor to persuade his brother to leave his dominions. To the first I could have no objection, as it would be a natural consequence of peace; but I insisted that if his brother should leave his territory, he should have his wife and children restored to him. Mr. Nissen thought the latter clause would meet objections. However, he took it on shore.
On the morning of the 3d of June, Mr. Nissen came off again, and declared that the bashaw would not agree to deliver the wife and children of his brother. I adhered to that part of the article, and after some little time he returned on shore. When Mr. Nissen had left the ship, I told commodore Rodgers, and captain Smith of the Vixen, who was on board, that if the bashaw should persist in his opposition to this article, I would not suffer the business to be broken off, and leave our countrymen in slavery; but would at all hazards take a boat and go on shore, if the white flag should be hauled down, which Mr. N. said would be the signal, if the bashaw persisted in his determination. At 4 P. M. Mr. N. came off again with the seal of the bashaw to the preliminary articles; but with a condition that there should be allowed for the delivery of the wife and family of his brother. I consented to it, and we went on board the Vixen to stand in near the harbor. When we were close to the town, we fired a gun and hauled down the white flag. A salute of 21 guns was fired from the batteries, and answered by the Constitution. I went into the harbor in the Constitution's barge with the flag of the United States displayed, and was received at the landing by the Americans officer, who had been in captivity, with a sensibility more easily to be conceived than described. An immense concourse of people crowded the shore and filled the streets, all signifying their pleasure on the conclusion of the peace.
This, I believe, is the first instance, where a peace has been concluded by any of the Barbary states on board a ship of war. I must here pay a tribute of justice to commodore Rodgers, whose conduct during the negotiation on board, was mixed with that manly firmness and evident wish to continue the war, if it could be done with propriety, while he displayed the magnanimity of an American, in declaring that we fought not for conquest, but to maintain just rights and national dignity, as fully convinced the negotiators that we did not ask, but grant peace. You will pardon me if I here introduce a circumstance evincive of the spirit of our countrymen. At breakfast this morning, commodore Rodgers observed, that if the bashaw would consent to deliver up our countrymen without making peace, he would engage to give him 200,000 dollars instead of 60,000, and raise the difference between the two sums from the officers of the navy, who, he was perfectly assured, would contribute to it with the highest satisfaction.
In the evening I visited Sidi Mahamet Dghies, whom I found a sensible, liberal, and well informed man. He is a great friend of ours, and has always been opposed to the war with us.
On the 4th of June, at 11 A. M. the flag staff was raised on the American house, and the flag of the United States displayed, which was immediately saluted with 21 guns from the castle and forts, and all our unfortunate countrymen went off on board
their ships. At noon I had an audience of the bashaw, by appointment, and was received with every mark of respect and attention. He paid me many compliments and expressed himself on the peace with much manliness. He is a man of very good presence, manly and dignified, and has not in his appearance so much of the tyrant as he has been represented to be. His court was much more superb than that of Algiers. We spoke but little on the subject of the treaty, &c. He observed that he had given stronger evidences of his confidence in us than he had ever before given to any nation. He had delivered our people before he had received his own; and as to the money he was to receive it was merely nominal—the sum was nothing, but it was impossible to deliver them without something. The other articles of the treaty I might form as I pleased; being convinced I would not insert any thing which was not just. I returned his compliments, and assured him he would find our nation as just as he had found them brave and persevering.
On the 6th of June the Constitution sailed for Malta and Syracuse, to return to Tripoli with the money and the Tripoline prisoners. The Constellation sailed also for Derne, to bring off the few of our countrymen who might be there. I remained at Tripoli 'till the return of the Constitution, to establish an agent and make a final settlement of our business there. Dr. John Ridgely, of Maryland, late surgeon of the Philadelphia, was strongly recommended as a proper person to reside at Tripoli 'till the pleasure of the president was known, and I accordingly appointed him, as will be seen by the enclosed power and letter of instruction.
On the 10th, I sent to the bashaw two copies of the treaty, with translations, in the Arabic language, to be signed by him, and his divan. He requested me to attend the divan and see the form of business there; and as this was a favor never before granted to a christian, he gave it as an evidence of his respect &c. I accordingly attended, and was seated on the same seat with the bashaw, on his right hand. Great order and solemnity were observed. I presented the treaty to the bashaw, who delivered it to his first secretary to read article by article. Some observations and short debates took place on several of the articles, but the bashaw appeared to explain them satisfactorily. After the whole was read, the form of its presentation and acceptance, was written by the secretary, and the seals of the bashaw and members of the divan affixed to the two copies; one of which the bashaw delivered to me in a solemn manner, and with many expressions of friendship. (He speaks good Italian.)
On the 17th the Constitution arrived, but the wind was too high to admit of her leaving the Tripolines or money; on the 18th, both we went on shore; but instead of 100 Tripolines there were only 48 and 41 blacks. Seven had been carried to the United States, by commodore Preble, and I could never obtain an accurate account of the whole number. I had the bashaw's tiscara respecting those who had been taken by commodore Dale, which had been left in the hands of Mr. Nissen, in which I found expressly 214 Tripolines and Turks, for whom, and their goods, 7 Americans were to have been delivered. I was therefore obliged to make it appear that the blacks were his subjects, and were to be included in the exchange. I found no difficulty in the case, though I am sure he was not convinced of the propriety of it. Those in the United States, I assured him would be returned by the first opportunity. The 60,000 dollars were paid, and a receipt therefor given on the treaty left with Dr. Ridgely, and a duplicate thereof which is enclosed. No Consular present is mentioned in the treaty; but that, it is understood, will be given as usual with all nations when a consul shall be sent; it does not exceed 6,000 dollars, and the particulars I shall send in my next, as I shall also, my accounts, which cannot be adjusted, as our quarantine at Malta did not admit of my having that communication with Mr. Higgins which was necessary for settling as I had given him bills on the house of Sir Francis Baring, and co. in London, for the money sent to Tripoli, &c.
On the 20th commodore Rodgers came on shore, and had an audience of the bashaw, where the assurances of friendship &c. were repeated by the bashaw.
On the 21st, in the evening, we sailed for Malta and Syracuse; arrived at the former on the morning of the 24th, where we remained two days, and sailed for this place. I shall in a future letter, give a more particular account of Tripoli, &c. At present I confine myself to the subject of the negotiation at treaty. As I have always been opposed to the Egyptian and Derne expedition, I shall say nothing on that subject, especially, as I presume there will be full communications respecting it from other quarters.
On the 5th of March last, we were indebted to Algiers for one year's annuity, deducting the cargo of timber, &c. which had been left. I had learned that they were in great want of wheat
at that place, and it struck me that if a cargo of that article was sent to them on account of our annuity, it would be received with gratitude, and be a great saving to the United States; I therefore purchased a cargo of about 12,000 bushels, at Malta, which cost, with charges, about 32,000 dollars, and sent it to Algiers with a proper letter on the occasion; and I am happy to inform you that it arrived in good time, and in line order, and was more valuable as it relates to the United States, than a cargo of money would have been at that time. It was received as intended, as a proof of friendship and an evidence of good faith; and will settle our accounts for one year at least.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, April 21.
Although the London papers received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser by the ship Alexander, captain Vose, are not so late as those received a few days ago at Baltimore, being only to the 25th of February, inclusive; yet they contain some articles of considerable interest which have hitherto remained unnoticed. We this morning lay them before our readers.
Captain Vose informs us, that on the 7th of March, in lat. 49, long 12, he spoke a British frigate, then out two days from Plymouth, by whom he was assured that the British had captured a fleet from Brest consisting of nine sail of the line; and the captain of the frigate received this account from the cutter which had been dispatched with the intelligence, and which arrived at Plymouth as he was taking his departure.
London, February 24.
The American ship Rising Sun, captain Nantus, arrived at Dover from Amsterdam, brings the important intelligence, that on Tuesday last when that ship left Holland, there were seven sail of the line of Dutch men of war in the Nieu Diep, ready for sea in a moment's warning. The transports which were lately laid up, are also refitting at Amsterdam with all possible expedition, and they are ordered to proceed to the Helder to take on board troops. The destination of this armament is kept a profound secret for the present.
We understand that the chancellor of the exchequer has written a letter to the governor of the bank, desiring the opinion of that body what would be the probable effect of raising the property tax from seven to ten per cent; and also, what would be the probable effect of applying some part of the sinking fund to the payment of the interest of a new loan. It is proper to add, however, that government have not resolved on either of these measures; and the chancellor of the exchequer's letter states that they will not be adopted without very mature consideration.
Government have received advice that the French emperor has issued an instrument, under his sign manual, dated from his palace at St. Cloud, by which he has formally deposed the king of Naples, in nearly the following terms:
"We, Napoleon, by the grace of God, emperor of the French and king of Italy, &c. for divers weighty and sufficient causes, ourselves thereunto specially moving, do hereby and henceforth, solemnly depose from the throne and other sovereign authorities of his ancestors, Ferdinand, the king of the Two Sicilies, and from all of which princely titles and dignities he is by virtue of this instrument and our imperial will and mandate, and pleasure, forever removed and deposed accordingly. Given under our hand and imperial signet, &c."
The Hamburgh mail which was due yesterday arrived this morning. The courts of St. Petersburg and Constantinople have not been slow in seeing the danger with which they were threatened by the engagement of Napoleon to furnish to the emperor of Austria an indemnity in the east, for the possessions of which he has deprived him in Germany. They have renewed, for nine years to come, the treaty between them, which was on the point of expiring.

If we may judge from the precautions adopted by Alexander, he seems apprehensive that an attack may be made even upon his own territories. Redoubts are cast up at Warsaw, and other arrangements ordered, to guard against any attempt of this kind.
The French and Bavarian army in the neighborhood of Frankfort has been considerably augmented, to enforce the payment of the contribution laid on that city. The inhabitants have a faint hope held out to them, that if they speedily pay one half the sum demanded, the other will be remitted.
The French still continue in force in Germany—and will till more of the schemes in the contemplation of Bonaparte are executed.
Prince Joseph Bonaparte arrived at Rome on the 23d ultimo. Massena's army is in full march against the kingdom of Naples. His progress will receive no opposition.
Frankfort, February 11.
The electoral prince of Baden has arrived here, and will set out immediately for Paris, whither he is going to marry Mademoiselle de Beauharnais, whom the emperor Napoleon means to adopt and raise to the dignity of royal highness. The prince will afterwards reside at Mannheim, and his mother at Bruchsal, where she will enjoy a dower of 120,000 florins.
A short time since, the cutlers', painter stainers', and stationers' corporation of Duatino, held a meeting, for the purpose of petitioning parliament to repeal the act of legislative union, passed during the administration of lord Grenville. The meeting was adjourned till Tuesday last, when it was very numerously attended, Mr. Stephen Parker (the master) in the chair.
The report of the committee was then laid before the corporation and agreed to. The corporation have acted wisely and moderately; they have, after the example of major Cartwright, and the friends of parliamentary reform in London, postponed their petition against the union for the present, that his majesty's ministers may not be embarrassed with local grievances, when the empire, in general, is under circumstances of such unexampled difficulty.
The committee is, however, made a standing one, to consult with other corporations as to the most effectual means and time when to present a petition to parliament for the above purpose.
Arrived, the ship Rising Sun, captain Nantes, of and for Baltimore, in ballast, from Amsterdam.

FRIDAY, April 25.
MR. SNOWDEN,
I observe in the National Intelligencer of Wednesday a garbled and incorrect account of the proceedings of the House of Representatives. It is greatly to be regretted that the public are so much dependent on that paper for an account of the proceedings of Congress: for during the whole of the last session, except in a few instances, we have not had a full and impartial relation of the sentiments that have been expressed, or of the occurrences that have happened in the House. In almost all cases where the conduct of the administration has been scrutinised, the debates have been omitted. Possibly Mr. Smith may yet give the public a part of them; but we little expect it from that editor, whose vigilance in omission is so constant. When are we to have Mr. Randolph's speech, in which he expressed his wish that Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Madison and Mr. Gallatin were in the house, that he might propound certain questions to them respecting tribute to France? Probably never. When shall we have the debate between Randolph, Varnum, Jackson, &c. respecting the secret wishes of the presi-
dent, in opposition to his message of December 6th? Probably never. There have been many debates this session with open doors which the editor of the Intelligencer dares not give the public. His great study seems to be to screen the administration on all occasions. The public can put no dependence on that paper for a full and impartial account of the proceedings of Congress. This was the declaration of Mr. Randolph: they cannot judge from the Intelligencer; they cannot be informed of the grounds on which to judge.
The memorial of Smith and Ogden, of New York, the Intelligencer says "were uncommonly acrimonious." Not a word of this is true. The language was mild; nothing like acrimony of expression. They were a plain detail of all the proceedings of the memorialists relative to the Leander, of all the evidence they had of the knowledge and sanction of the president and secretary of state, and of the illegality, oppressiveness and tyranny of the judge of the district court. That Smith and Ogden believed that they were acting agreeably to the wishes of the administration, is beyond doubt; and when the public shall read all the evidence of the knowledge of the government in this affair, I cannot think any man can doubt.
When the memorials were read every member of the house was sensible that their publication would convince all men of the knowledge the administration had of Miranda's business. Hence the proposition to print them was refused. They knew not how to be rid of it; at length Early introduced his resolution. It was said the evidence of the knowledge of the administration was ex parte , and not such as would be admitted in a court of justice. This was true: the original letters properly authenticated , the declarations of Miranda under oath , and other evidence such as is called legal evidence , did not accompany the memorials. Hence gentlemen of easy consciences could vote that there was no evidence that criminated the executive. Mr. Randolph, however, voted against the resolution.
The following dialogue happened between a member and a spectator:
Spectator. Well, sir, what do you now think of the president's knowledge of Miranda's expedition.
Member. I think Miranda must be a most consummate intriguer so to impose on Smith and Ogden.
Spec. But can you believe he did impose on them? Would Miranda have come to Washington to obtain the countenance of government? Would he have visited the president, & particularly Mr. Madison, so often without disclosing his intentions? Would he have written from Washington, from time to time, to New York, stating the opinions of Jefferson and Madison, and their refusal to grant him the aid he required? Do you believe that he would have fabricated the conversation between him and the administration relative to Col. Smith's continuing to hold the office of surveyor, yet being permitted to go on this expedition? In short, from the long, and most circumstantial account of all his conversations with the President and Secretary, and from the copies of the letters that have passed, can you believe Miranda such a cunning villain? and can you vote for Early's resolution, declaring there is no evidence?
Member. I can give you one short answer. If the President knew of it, he would not have ordered the prosecution.
Spectator. Deny it as you please, you know the President's profound duplicity as well as I do.
Member. The evidence is not legal.
Spectator. But is it no evidence?
Member. I know the impression it will make on the public: they will consider it evidence.
Spectator. If it can make but one impression. What necessity for this resolution, if the memorials contain no evidence?
Member. I don't myself see the need of it. Be it as it may, if the account of the judge's conduct is correct, I shall vote for his impeachment.
Spectator. I was not speaking of the judge. I shall watch your vote; so see if you declare there is no evidence.
Member. I reckon I shall vote for it. [And he did so.]

NEW ORLEANS, March 15.
It is reported and believed, that a vessel bound to Fort Stoddart, with provisions for our troops, has been brought to at the town of Mobile, and is not permitted to proceed on her voyage. If conduct like this be persisted in, it is hoped that some efficient means will be adopted to obtain a free navigation of the waters of the Mobile. Such navigation is essential to the welfare of our settlements on the Tombigby, and it is presumed that a suspension of it will not be submitted to by the American government.
Just as our paper was going to press we received information, that one of the carriers of the mail of the United States had returned to this city, and that he reports, that he was not permitted to pass the town of Mobile with the mail. He further states, that governor Folck informed him, that for the future the mail of the United States would not be permitted to pass either by land or water, through the dominions of the king of Spain.
March 26.
SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.
We are indebted to the politeness of an esteemed friend, for a copy of the following spirited and patriotic resolutions. We understand that they have been entered into in the Tombigby & Alabama settlements, in consequence of the Spanish order for shutting up the river Mobile. They were agreed to by all who saw them and were expected to be generally adopted.
WASHINGTON COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI TERRITORY, March 14. 1806.
WHEREAS, the officers of his catholic majesty at Mobile, have by an unprecedented and arbitrary regulation interdicted all direct commercial intercourse between this country and New Orleans, have, in palpable violation of the treaty between the king of Spain and the United States, stopped and detained vessels bound from New Orleans to the port of Fort Stoddart, and absolutely prohibited their proceeding to the place of their destination, and have in so doing prevented our receiving those supplies which are necessary for our comfortable subsistence. We whose names are hereunto subscribed, have mutually covenanted, and do solemnly bind ourselves one to the other, and to all the people of the United States—
That we will not sell or in any manner furnish to any of the subjects of his catholic majesty, any corn, pork, beef or other provisions, whilst the said arbitrary regulations and restrictions are continued in force.
That we will not buy any merchandise or other articles of any subject of the king of Spain, or which we have reason to believe have been purchased at or brought from the town of Mobile. That we shall regard any man who holds any commercial intercourse with the subjects of the king of Spain, as indifferent to the welfare of the good people of Washington county, and as an enemy to his country. And we moreover hereby call upon our fellow citizens seriously to reflect, whether after the late open manifestation of hostility on the part of the agents and subjects of the king of Spain, any one owing allegiance to the American government, will not be guilty of a high crime in offering them aid and comfort, and justly expose himself to all the pains and penalties of high treason against the United States.
Extract of a letter dated Cadiz, 25th February, 1806.
"I now recommend to you to warn your friends to avoid speculating in flour to this quarter. The article is absolutely unvendable at present, owing to the immense imports of wheat, which is selling at 1.4 of the price it commanded, ed this time twelve months, and the prospect for some months is rather discouraging.

Five hundred dollars Reward.
FLED from the city of Baltimore, on Tuesday night, the 18th of March last, GERARD VON HARTEN, a merchant, and partner in the firm of Kester and Von Harten, of that place. Some short time previous to his flight, he forged promissory notes, to a very large amount, on twenty-eight of which forged notes, (amounting to forty thousand dollars) twenty-eight indictments have been found against him, in the criminal court of Baltimore county.
GERARD VON HARTEN is a middle-sized man, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, about 32 years of age, he has a round and regularly featured face, of fair complexion, with full red cheeks, and is slightly pitted with the small pox, his eyes are rather small, and of a dark hazel color, his mouth small with a good set of teeth; his hair is dark or chestnut colored, and is cropped short. He is a native of Germany, and retains much of the Dutch accent in speaking English, which he articulates slowly, and with a little lisp.
When he left Baltimore, he travelled leisurely through Virginia, collecting his debts in Fredericksburg, Richmond and other parts of the state, and about the first of April was seen at Stanton, near which place he is supposed to be at present. Any person apprehending said VON HARTEN, and lodging him in any jail in the United States, so that he may be brought to punishment for the forgeries lately committed by him in Baltimore, and giving notice thereof to the subscribers, in said city, shall receive the above reward.

Rich Kanawha Bottom Lands, For Sale or Exchange.
THE Subscriber offers for sale, or exchange for lands or other real property on the east side of the Blue Ridge, about 7000 acres of RICH BOTTOM LAND, on the Great Kanawha River, and on both sides thereof opposite and below the mouth of Poketollico Creek, in the state of Virginia, 25 miles from Point Pleasant, (in the county town of Mason county) and 12 miles from the town of Kanawha county, and adjoining the lands of the late General Washington. They were surveyed at the same time with those lands in the year 1772, and are held under the same titles, viz. Old Military Rights—which are unquestionable.
The Lands are of the very first quality, the Bottoms in many places a mile wide; they have been lately resurveyed and divided into lots containing from 150 to 350 acres each, for the accommodation of purchasers, each lot fronting on the river, and extending back from thence to the hills, which afford a most extensive range for stock, which can never be interrupted. One hundred acres therefore of this rich bottom, with its advantages, would make a good settlement. The great [Virginia] state road leading to the states of Ohio and Kentucky, passes by and through these lands, which being on a fine navigable river will command a ready and high price for the produce to the emigrants to the western country both by land and water. Their situation, besides, gives their occupants choice of the eastern or western markets, as produce may be found most profitable. The climate is mild and remarkably favorable to the production of fruit—Salt works are erected on the banks of the river but a few miles above these lands, and the neighborhood furnishes abundance of iron, coal, lime, stone, mills and mill seats; so that there is no part of the western country which holds out more advantages to persons desirous of emigrating.
A more particular description of these lands, with plots of the several lots, their situation, description and price, may be had by application in Alexandria, to Mr. WILLIAM CRAIK, who attended the surveying of them, or to the subscriber.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the state of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper. He has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of his invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's
GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females—a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,    Consumption,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Raward weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weaknesses,  Obstinate gleet,    Fluorbus (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public. Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope maker, South Second street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely,
That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

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