TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31.
TO THE PUBLIC,
Who are affected with Coughs, Colds, Astmas, and Consumptions.
THERE is perhaps no medical observation better established, none more generally confirmed by the experience of the best physicians of all ages and countries, and none of more importance to the practitioner than the fact that many of the most difficult and incurable complaints originate in neglected COLDS. In a climate as variable as ours, where the changes of the weather are frequently sudden and unexpected, it requires more care and attention to guard against this subtle and dangerous enemy of life, than most people imagine, or are willing to bestow. Hence the vast number of patients afflicted with coughs, catarrhs, astmas and consumptions. The many cases of the kind which fell under my observation, the disappointment I experienced in practice, from remedies highly recommended, and my own predisposition to pulmonary complaints, were strong inducements for me to consider whether a compound, consisting of mild vegetable substances could not be invented, more free from the well founded objections of practitioners, and better calculated to avert the threatening destruction of the lungs.
I have the satisfaction to offer to the public such a remedy, under the name of the VEGETABLE PULMONIC DETERGENT , well adapted to various constitutions and habits, and to declare with the fullest confidence that I found this composition far superior to others intended to answer the same purpose. I am perfectly satisfied, that practitioners, who have frequently to combat the effects of suppressed perspiration and do not neglect the use of the lancet and other evacuations, whenever they are indicated, will place this medicine on the list of their most favorite remedies; as it can in no case do harm. I will abide by this motto:
NO RELIEF NO PAY.
This motto may be deemed ostentatious by some, and amounting to a positiveness that the medicine will invariably effect a cure in any stage of a disease like a miracle; the proprietor is far from believing that this medicine will render mankind immortal; but he is fully sensible if taken seasonably, and according to the directions, it will either prevent or cure, and if unseasonably, it will most sensibly alleviate distress and prolong life; and having no desire to profit by the confidence of the sick and afflicted, induces me to make the above overture. Should the contrary appear in any instance, as in some it possibly may, the money for the medicine will be cheerfully refunded by the person who may vend the same.
GEORGE ROGERS.
N. B. The above named medicine is secured to the subscriber by letters patent from the President of the United States, and prepared at his Dispensary in Northampton, county of Hampshire and state of Massachusetts.
To the Public.
The great benefit which I have experienced from Rogers's Vegetable, &c. and a firm persuasion that it may afford relief to others, induces me to make every laudable exertion for its distribution.
For five years preceding the last of Dec. 1807, in consequence of taking a violent cold I had been afflicted with the asthma, a disorder which I conceived to be hereditary, my father and grand father both having greatly suffered from it. The disorder increasing rapidly upon me, in the spring of 1807, I consulted Dr. C. L. Seeger, but the urgency of his business prevented him from attending at that time, particularly to my case. My business made it necessary for me to leave home and be absent the greater part of summer, which deprived me of the able professional assistance of Dr. Seeger. In September last, a severe cold brought on a violent cough and the disorder assumed an aspect more serious and alarming than at any former period—I was extremely debilitated, emaciated and confined. Such was the irritability of my lungs, I was obliged to use the greatest caution in the act of respiration. After a free use of Rogers's Vegetable, &c. for about two months, I was perfectly relieved of the dreadful cough which had so long afflicted me, and completely cured of every symptom of the asthma—In short, blessed be God, I have continued in sound health ever since. As these facts may be important to those unfortunate individuals who are suffering from the same disorder, I have been thus particular in their detail. And I do not hesitate to declare my solemn conviction, both from my own experience and
observing its effects on others, that Dr. Rogers's V. P. D. is an easy, safe and effectual remedy for coughs and astmas, and is the greatest antidote to all pulmonary complaints that the world has ever witnessed.
Jacob W. Brewster.
Northampton, January, 1809.
THIS may certify, that about the first of October last, I was attacked with a violent cough, which proceeded, as was the opinion of my physician, who is a man well approved of in his profession, from a bruise which I received on my left side about a fortnight before. By his consent I tried Rogers's Pulmonic Detergent—I was very weak and low, and took but half the quantity prescribed by his directions. In three days I was much relieved, and in eight days quite cured of the cough.
Moses Parsons, jun.
Northampton, February, 1809.
Northampton, (Mass.) Feb. 1809.
I James Heaton, also hereby certify, that in the fall of the year 1808, I was seized with a severe cold attended by an obstinate and distressing cough. The violence of my cough soon produced a pain in my side and breast, and frequently spitting of blood, in short, all the horrid symptoms of a consumption were rapidly assailing me. In this situation I was recommended to Dr. George Rogers, who rendered me immediate relief by administering his Vegetable Detergent. I have continued the use of it ever since, and for three months past, though not completely restored to health, I have been able constantly to attend to my business—and I fully believe that my partial restoration has been solely owing (under God) to this valuable medicine.
James Heaton.
To the Public.
In consequence of taking a severe cold in May, 1808. I was seized with a violent pain in my side, attended with a distressing cough, which, although I had the advice and prescriptions of a respectable physician, lasted me four weeks, without any alleviation. I then applied to Dr. George Rogers, who administered his Vegetable Pulmonic Detergent, which gave me immediate relief; and in ten days I was entirely freed from the pain in my side and cough.
Charles Chapman.
Northampton, March, 1809.
I, ELIJAH NORTON, jun. of Westampton, in Massachusetts, do certify, that in the last year I was attended with a great debility, weakness of the lungs, distressed for breath and a violent cough attended with a fever for a number of months; about the 15th of August I began the use of Dr. George Rogers's Vegetable Pulmonic Detergent. I kept in the use of it about three months. Immediately after taking this medicine my cough abated, and I could breathe with more freedom. I would recommend the medicine from my own experience, to those who are troubled with a cough, and disorders of the lungs and breast, and consumptive complaints, and do believe it to be a valuable and useful medicine.

A SONG.
Like a very gallant, I will compliment all, I'll leer and ogle the pretty, Tell the short ones they're neat, the majestic they're tall, And call the homely ones witty.
Thus agreeable falsehood passing for truth, I shall tickle their vanity snugly, Talk of prudence to age, and of pleasure to youth, And console with a fortune the ugly.
To the pale I'll on delicate lilies begin, To the florid I'll hold out on roses, Call squinting a leer, find a smile in a grin, And proportion where chins kiss with no- ses.

MR. POULSON,
I fear many of your readers are so vulgar and old fashioned, and, it may be, so prejudiced, as neither to understand nor to recognise the fashionable signification of a number of words and phrases, which are, however, very current; this has induced me to attempt a brief explanation of a few phrases, highly necessary to be known and used by men of honor and courage. Will you therefore have the goodness to insert the present communication.
A man of honour.—Alias—A gentleman.
One who deems himself authorised to trample on all laws, both divine and human, whenever they interfere with the gratification of his passions.
A man of Courage.
A violator of that law of God, which says thou shalt do no MURDER.
A Coward.
One who fears God, and obeys the laws of his country, and yet has the fortitude to refuse a challenge, and sufficient manliness of spirit to despise the sneers of fools and libertines.
Proof of Cowardice.
A written, or printed paper, stuck in some public place, calling any one a coward.
Giving the satisfaction of a Gentleman.
The chance of murdering or being murdered, by any person, who assuming to himself the province of a judge in his own cause thinks proper to send a challenge.
CHARLESTON, October 23.
Arrived, sch'r Sidney Crispin, Marshall, Grenada, via St. Eustatia, 20 days from the latter. The sch'r Henry Selby, Records, of Washington, (N. C.) from Barbados, was captured by a French privateer, from Guadalupe and sent into St. Eustatia, the day before captain M. left that place; the vessel was plundered by the Frenchmen, and the papers sent to Guadalupe, to go thro' the sham form of a condemnation—the agent for the privateer had offered the capt. to ransom the schooner for a certain sum, as he had left St. Eustatia for Guadalupe, in order to effect the ransom. The French capture every American they can fall in with bound to or from an English port, or which have been spoken or boarded by a British vessel of war. This French privateer was commanded by one PEASE, an American.

We have seen a letter from a respectable democratic house in Baltimore, stating, as a report founded on the first authority, that Mr. Jackson had sent a note to the Secretary of State, informing him, that he would agree to settle on the terms agreed upon by Mr. Erskine, provided our government would extend their non-intercourse to the ports of Holland as well as those of France.
(New-York Gaz.)
Extract from a letter dated Copenhagen, August 5, from the supercargo of the ship Hebe, of Philadelphia, under detention there.
The king yesterday issued orders which do honor to his head and heart. He has called in the whole of his privateers and revoked their commissions. None will hereafter, it is said be allowed to cruise either in the Categat, the Sound or the Baltic; and those that will be allowed to cruise in the north sea will receive new instructions relative to their conduct to neutrals, and will only be permitted to cruise in the neighborhood of Heligoland, not farther north than Tonningen.
"This is the substance of the orders which are dated the 2d inst. and which declare that any vessel captured after that date shall be forthwith restored."
Extract from a letter dated Forsund, Norway, August 11, from the supercargo of the ship Lion, of Philadelphia, under detention there.
"I understand that the king has ordered all vessels found on the ocean, to be brought in, even their own not excepted. So much villainy has been found practised by Americans from England, with false papers, that the most rigorous measures are pursued against them, and I am sorry to find (as near as I can make out from the Danes) that the loose organization of the courts leaves us exposed to many hazards. Yet it seems the laws do not authorise a condemnation unless the cargo has been taken into England. We were not even boarded by an English cruiser so far does our case stand fair. But I am yet incapable of saying how far we may rely upon the faithful administration of the case."
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
From Liverpool,
September 5.
"Since our last of 1st August, we have to notice considerable alteration in the prices of American produce, particularly in the staple articles of cotton and tobacco, which a week ago were 1d to 2d higher than at present. The sales of cotton for the last month have exceeded 38,000 bags. The export of cotton manufactures to the continent of Europe has been very extensive; and it is worthy of remark that, notwithstanding every country is open to our commerce where cotton is grown, yet the import has not been equal to the sales for the last four weeks by nearly 5000 bags; if we admit that the chief part be sold to speculators, it must follow that our spinners are very sparingly supplied, and must shortly buy again. The extent of their purchases may be influenced by the news of the day; but the flourishing state of the trade will insure them to be considerable; hence we deduce an opinion, that prices will not be materially lower, without there is a reasonable prospect of our disputes being in a fair way to be settled. Tobacco's begin to arrive; the demand has rather subsided; but prime leaf readily brings our quotations. Wheat and flour are wanted; the harvest in our southern counties, have closed, and the crop is a fair one. Naval stores are declining; the import of tar from Sweden and Archangel is expected to be large. Pearl ashes are in demand, and the stock small. Pot ashes free from crust are scarce, but the arrivals from Canada will in a few weeks be considerable. Timber of all descriptions has been in demand, and heavy sales continue to be made to the trade. West India produce is very dull; some shipments of St. Domingo coffee have been made to Holland, but the prices are as before. Our expedition is now returning without effecting the destruction of the fleet, or the capture of Antwerp. Flushing continues in our possession; 12,000 men are said to be left for its defence. The last intelligence from Spain is far from being favorable. The future state of our markets depends on the next accurate accounts from your side: it seems probable that the negotiation will be protracted until the state of Europe is so altered that our maritime laws and your neutrality will not so frequently come into contact; betwixt this and war we see no measure practicable. Among the reports of the day it is said, on the authority of a letter from Bremen, dated 25th August that peace betwixt this country, Russia, Sweden and Denmark, is about to be negotiated: we give no credit to the statement."

In the multiplicity of foreign matter (says a London ministerial paper) which required our attention yesterday, we omitted noticing certain opinions stated in a ministerial journal of the United States of America, and which was most probably sanctioned by the government of that country. It is said, that "whether Mr. Erskine exceeded his instructions or not, is a question between him and his sovereign, and that his nation is in justice and honor irrevocably bound to his stipulation." Now we confess that in common cases this doctrine does appear to us to be founded in reason, tho' we believe precedents and general usage bear strongly against it. To recur to a very recent example: M. D'Oubril's deviation from his instructions in the treaty formed by him at Paris was esteemed a sufficient reason for the invalidation of that act; and an ample justification of the emperor of Russia's refusal to ratify it. Yet still it must be allowed that, as a sight of the powers to which negotiators treat is all that they can mutually demand of each other, it should seem that these are plenary, the sovereign who grants them is bound, except in extreme cases, to the observation of any compact which may emanate from such deviation of his own authority; for as some one must be disappointed by an ambassador's deviation from his instructions, it is proper that the disappointment should rest with the party who selected that ambassador examined or relied upon his competence, and put the cause in his hands.
This being a doctrine, as we conceive, generally founded in reason, though but little observed, let us see what right America has to urge it in the present instance. Does she adopt it into her own practice? by no means. For after a treaty had been concluded and signed by her ambassadors, Messrs. Monroe and Pinkney, on the one part, and by lords Holland and Auckland on the other, in July, 1807; the President, Mr. Jefferson, refused to ratify that treaty, thus signed and concluded by his own agents, possessing full powers, and respecting whom he did not even complain (to us at least,) that they had swerved from his directions.
Of so much value is a treaty not yet possessing the signature of the sovereign or executive power, in the estimation of the American government; and why an instrument which she holds of so little obligation against herself should be urged against us as an irreversible rule of action, we cannot conceive. America loses nothing by the imperfect conclusion of Mr. Erskine's treaty. Yes, it may be said she loses the advantages which she supposed herself to have gained by that act; but according to her own practical opinion, she could not suppose herself to have gained any till the treaty was ratified. According to her own practical opinion, and her declaration contained in her acts, she knew the king might withhold his ratification without assigning any reason, (because she did the same); and she must therefore think his majesty fully justified in refusing his assent upon so fair a ground as that which is now alledged, she having refused her assent to a treaty in the very same state, without alledging any cause whatever; so that America could not possibly believe herself to be in the possession of any advantages from Mr. Erskine's act till it received the king's signature.
We urge this argument with the greater earnestness, because we think the consideration of it, calculated to close the breach between the two countries, of which we are most desirous; and it is, indeed, evident that if matters do not take a more amicable turn, they, at least, ought not now to assume a more threatening one than that which they had before the negotiation in question; for if that negotiation has done America no good, we have, at least, shown that it has done her no harm, but has left her precisely where it found her; from which point a fresh negotiation may, if she is so disposed, commence.

Her remains were on Sunday interred in the new Episcopal burial ground of this place, attended by a numerous concourse of relatives and friends, who attested by their tears, far more eloquent than words, their deep sense of the irreparable loss they had sustained.

TO PARENTS.
The annexed cases of cures performed by HAMILTON'S CELEBRATED WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
(Selected from a very numerous list.)
ARE presented as indubitable proof of the excellence and safety of this valuable specific, for destroying worms in the human stomach and intestines.
From Mr. Benjamin Williams, No. 30, Baltimore street, two doors above south Gay-street.
I have a son six years of age, who for four years past, has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in summer; frequently afflicted with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasted fast, his breath foetid, and almost constant itching at the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore were successively procured. Each of these gentlemen, in his turn, declared worms to be the cause of the child's disorder, and exhausted his skill in attempting to expel them. Pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines, were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours.
I had heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges, but with many others did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moore, auctioneer) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make trial of them; I accordingly gave my son a dose agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them a-
worms. They were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success, which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects. The eldest voided a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch—in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skin and slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though 5 months have nearly elapsed, since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole seemed to be inevitable.

TO H. LEE.
Some time last spring I was afflicted with loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, fever, and great debility, so that I could scarcely walk. In this distressing situation I took many things, but without benefit. An acquaintance in the country sent to me to procure a box of Hamilton's Lozenges. Curiosity prompted me to read the directions, where I found my complaint exactly described by the doctor. I immediately sent for another box of the Lozenges, and took one dose, which brought away a large quantity of worms, and I felt greatly relieved. Encouraged by this, I took another dose, which was attended with the happiest effects, as it delivered me entirely, and am now in a better state of health than for a considerable time past. I have since given them to my children, and can speak from experience, that they are a most valuable medicine, and am happy to add my testimony to numberless others of their efficacy.
SARAH JOHNSON, No. 140, north Second Street.
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 epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food and sometimes voracious—purging with slimy and foetid stools—vomiting—large and hard belly—pains and sickness at the stomach—pains in the head and thigh, 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.
Prevention better than Cure.
In cases of head ache, foul stomach, and for removing superfluous bile, perhaps no remedy has been discovered superior to
LEE'S HAHN'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS, Which for 10 years past have been attended with the greatest success. The testimony of many respectable persons in our southern sea ports has been adduced who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy during the prevalence of malignant fevers, has preserved their health after experiencing alarming symptoms of fever.
Certificate of Wm. Devenny.
During the last nine years I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, head ache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my head ache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit I have 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, WM. DEVENNY, ITCH CURED.
Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch, a certain cure by once using; Hamilton's Lozenges; Hamilton's Elixir, for Coughs; the celebrated Antibilious Pills; Hamilton's Essence of Mustard, for the Rheumatism; Tooth-Ache Drops; Hamilton's Grand Restorative for Debility.
