CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18.
Debate on the resolution offered by Mr. Broom, to make further provision by law to secure the privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus to persons in custody under or by colour of the authority of the U. States.
[CONTINUED.]
Mr. Varnum (Mass.) rose to repeal the motion. He had been at first inclined to vote in favor of the motion; but after hearing the arguments of the gentleman who introduced the resolution, he found himself compelled to give a decided negative. It has been said that there has been a gross violation of the constitution; but Mr. V. demanded where was the proof of the assertion. He had seen no official documents to warrant such a charge. It is well known that the persons recently brought from New Orleans have received every benefit to which they were entitled, from the writ of habeas corpus. The motion is also ill timed. Shall we undertake to decide on the guilt of these persons when they are now arraigned before the court? The legislature ought not to prejudge the question.
Mr. Burwell (Vir.) said he should vote for the motion whether the facts stated by the gentleman from Delaware (Mr. Broom) were correct or not. Mr. B. was always ready to confirm and secure the writ of habeas corpus, and if the gentleman from Delaware could discover any defect in the present system and could devise a method to remove it, he should have his vote and his thanks.
But I believe the writ is now sufficiently secured; as much so as in England. The states have passed laws for this purpose, and the constitution of the United States recognizes and confirms the writ. Judges are on application obliged to issue the writ, and the officers of the courts are compelled to execute it. Where then is the necessity of sounding an alarm? The constitution has not been violated unless by military force, and that requires a different remedy. These gentlemen who have been recently brought from New Orleans, I admit were improperly seized and transported, and I fully agree with the gentleman from Delaware that it ought to be an early warning—an early warning against the increase of military force further than the exigencies of the country require. I do not pretend to say that the conduct of the commander in chief is justifiable, but the courts are open. The house ought not to act precipitately on rumor and exparte statements.
Mr. Dana (Con.) considered that it was not necessary now to examine whether the facts alleged to have taken place at New Orleans had been correctly stated or not. He would not say whether Wilkinson had conducted himself right or wrong. It was sufficient if questions arose whether the writ of habeas corpus was so well secured as it ought to be. He apprehended it was not so well guarded here as in England. If doubts, however, arise on so interesting a subject, they ought to be removed and the law fixed by statute.
Mr. Smilie (Penn.) declared himself in favor of the resolution for the reasons stated by the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Dana). He wished, however, the subject had been considered on its own merits and without reference to any past transactions. He wished not to refer to New Orleans. In circumstances of great danger it is the duty of a good citizen to do what he thinks is right, and take the responsibility. There was no testimony which enabled him to decide on the transactions at New Orleans.
If the statute of Charles extends to this country, there is no need of further provision to secure the writ of habeas corpus: if it does not extend here, it is highly necessary to guard the writ by similar provisions. He had consulted lawyers on the subject and could get no satisfactory information. Till the statute of Charles, all the provisions in favor of the liberty of the citizens contained in Magna Charta and the bill of rights were found inadequate.
Mr. S. said all parties and every man in the United States were concerned in this subject. The inestimable privilege of the writ of habeas corpus existed in no country but ours and in England. Arbitrary imprisonment prevailed in all other countries. He was glad the motion had been brought forward, and if the subject could not be matured now it could be the next session.
Mr. Bidwell (Mass.) was in favor of the motion, and expressed sentiments substantially the same as those of Mr. Smilie. He was sorry that extraneous matter had been introduced, and conceived it improper to go into an enquiry into Wilkinson's conduct. That officer acts with high responsibility. An enquiry now would be premature and we are not the proper tribunal to try the question. I think all will agree that there may be situations in which the commander of an army or garrison ought to do what he thinks the exigency of the case requires and throw himself on the generosity and justice of his country.
The writ of habeas corpus is a very important privilege, and is not, I think, now well secured. The criminal code of the United States is incomplete and wants revision, additions and explanations. The statute of Charles is enacted in some of the states, but not in the United States. Questions have also arisen in regard to the power of the judges of the supreme court, collectively and individually, and some are now under consideration. It would have been well if the subject had not been stirred at this particular period, but I am always ready to improve and secure the writ of habeas corpus so far as it is capable of further improvement and security.
Mr. Eppes (Va.) If the gentleman who introduced the resolution is sincere in the principles which he has professed, I congratulate him on his conversion to democracy. I congratulate him that his eyes are at last opened. But if he has put them on for a particular occasion like a Sunday coat, with a view to renounce them when they no longer suit his purpose, I trust that he will be eventually frustrated in his designs.
The game that is now playing in this house is part of the same system as that which is going on in the courts below. Whom do we find there, clamorous for liberty and the rights of the citizen? The same party who have always evinced their utter disregard and contempt for both. We find there the ex attorney general of the U. S. and what is more, the ex-attorney general of Maryland. The greatest monster in human shape is one of these distinguished men, clamoring for liberty with no other view than to oppress and enslave. Where was his zeal now so ostentatiously displayed, when the alien law and the sedition law were passed? The rights of man were not then so much in vogue with his party.
It is surprising to see the sympathy of certain men for the man whom they lately hunted from society. The truth is, they cannot bear to see a conspiracy reduced without armies and navies. They grieve at the unexampled prosperity of the country and the attachment of the people to their constitution and their government.
I will not soften the transactions at New Orleans. The commander in chief has done an illegal act, on his own responsibility, and he is answerable in damages. But to speak with that frankness which I think always becomes a legislator. I own that were I on a jury, I would give no damages, or at most, nominal damages only.
For whom is such sympathy excited? For two men, one of whom is a foreigner, who might in England have been transported to Botany Bay, the other a young American who has disgraced that character by acting as a spy on the commander in chief. I am willing that the people should see that there has been a little stretch of power in those cases.
There is no remedy for a man aggrieved in this case but a civil action, and unless you doubt the efficacy of trial by jury, no other remedy can be asked for. The mover of the resolution has cited the example of England, where the habeas corpus has been suspended for these ten years. It was not violated there till since packed juries and judges dependent on the executive have grown into fashion. When Wilkinson shows that he has acted honestly I will vote any sum to indemnify him.
I believe the writ of habeas corpus cannot be better secured than it is now; but I will vote for the motion to give the mover a chance to suggest any improvement which he can devise, though I am persuaded he can propose none. It is the duty of judges to grant the writ, and they must be obeyed. If the officer is resisted in executing it, he may call out the posse comitatus to his assistance.
These men could not have been tried at Orleans. The court there has the same powers as the district court of Kentucky, and cannot try a question of treason. I am willing that the people should see the
whole case and judge of the charge against us.
Mr. Early (Geo.) could not see the correctness of the two gentlemen from Virginia (Messrs. Burwell and Eppes). My views of the resolution are the same as theirs, and yet my vote will be totally different. I shall vote against it in every stage. My reasons are, the short time left of the session, the bearing of the resolution, and the avowed object of the mover. The resolution cannot be definitively acted on this session, and it is designed to have a bearing on existing cases. The second objection is more formidable than the bare want of time. If the resolution is referred, the next step will be to call on the executive for information relative to infractions of the writ. This will take time, and the subject cannot be acted on this session. What impression will this make during the recess? It will countenance charges against certain persons; the idea inevitably will be that the habeas corpus has been violated, and that the acts done at New Orleans ought to be frowned upon. You hang up a charge against a public officer and leave him under the torture of the public odium.
Where is any evidence that the existing provisions are insufficient. Suppose there have been violations, where is the evidence that adequate damages cannot be had—Let the parties aggrieved bring their action. When it is known that such a remedy is inadequate, it will be time to legislate.
The resolution has a tendency to influence the judicial proceedings against Wilkinson in actions which will likely be brought. I have another objection. The resolution is calculated to give a coloring to the Orleans business on which we have no adequate evidence. We are yet in the dark. We have little evidence indeed. We have none to justify a rational man in taking a single step.
If the commander in chief has done wrong, let him answer for it; but if he has done only what the necessity of the case required, he has done what merits a statue of gold to be erected to his memory. Let the judiciary decide on the question, and if he is mulcted, let this house then decide whether they will indemnify him.
[Debate to be continued.]
FROM THE PEOPLE'S FRIEND.
Since the morn on which we first hailed the happiness of independence till the present day, never have we so nearly approached the precipice which may prove the destruction of our political existence; never since we enjoyed the fruits of our glorious revolution was there a time so big with our fate, a crisis so momentous to Americans as the present. While an usurper of the house of the Bourbons, is (to satisfy an insatiable ambition) deluging with blood one quarter of the world, whose limits he would overleap were it not for British intrepidity, we would quarrel with that nation whose strength is our shield and buckler, on whose success I might say our liberties depend. For some time past have all well wishers of this country beheld with grief the palpable enmity of our administration toward Great Britain, while its cringing servilities towards her enemy excited their disgust; the slightest aggression on the part of the former has been the foundation of the basest calumnies against her good faith and national honor; while to the unprecedented demands and deliberate insults of the latter it has opposed the meekest submission and forbearance. What does this conduct on the part of our rulers evince? Is it guided by the laws of an honorable neutrality? No, they would make no distinction. Is it the offspring of policy? No Americans, that would lead you in a course diametrically opposite. To what then can we impute it? Look at your rulers and there you will discover the cause; in their bosoms you will discover those passions, to the gratification of which our honor, interest and every thing we ought to hold dear are sacrificed. To Great Britain we are bound by many ties, even as our mother country, affection cannot be entirely extinct; but when we reflect on the large portion of our produce she receives, thereby encouraging both our agriculture and commerce; when we behold her all-powerful to protect or annihilate these sources of our prosperity; should we not wish her success and cultivate her friendship? But with France by what bonds are we united, can she protect us? God be praised that the ocean prevents our receiving her fraternal embrace. Can she injure us? Her avowed enmity, while England exists, will prove abortive—but her insidious friendship, which our rulers so carefully cherish, every American has reason to dread. Suffer not yourselves then, my countrymen,
to be long deceived: The crisis is at length arrived, on which turns your future repose. A single act of your executive may plunge you, unprepared, into all the miseries of war, or form for you an alliance with the only nation whose friendship is essential. But shall we allow one whose mind is so notoriously warped by prejudice alone to judge on a subject so momentous! Shall we tamely submit to conduct unprecedented? No, let us assert our rights, and claim for our constituents those privileges which our laws have given them. If a sanction of the treaty would dishonor us, let us reject it; curses rest on that man who would counsel otherwise. But if we find it unexceptionable, let us accept it as one of our greatest blessings, as a guarantee of our future peace and prosperity. Such Americans ought to be your conduct, both your public and domestic relations demand it. England, in defiance of our hostile behavior has evinced a spirit of accommodation: Would France (equally powerful to injure us) have done the same? Observe the effects of her superior power throughout Europe; open violence or secret treachery has subjugated all her neighbors; her friendship and enmity have alike entailed misery on their objects, and her protection has uniformly been destruction. Europe does not afford sufficient food for the ambition of her ruler; our free constitution, contrasted with her despotic sway, reflects an odium on the latter, which he would wish to remove—what force cannot, treachery may effect; our boasted liberties may be undermined, if not overthrown, and in their fall, our children may have cause to lament the short sighted policy of their fathers, and the imbecility of our administration.
From the PEOPLE'S FRIEND.
A pamphlet has been published in England entitled "A State of the Negotiation with details of its progress and the cause of its Determination." It is replete with sound political philosophy and contains many lofty maxims of wisdom. We apprehend that our readers will be pleased with the following extract, which will serve as a specimen of the value of the whole performance:
"As to the morals which in the absence of all positive institutions, supply their place by influence perhaps more powerful, the people of France and the government of France, are totally without any system. They are the first nation in the world which has rendered variable what nature intended should be eternal—which has converted virtue into sophistry and brought under disputation and logical scepticism, the first elements of truth, and most sureties of social peace. Morals with them is a taste, a fashion, a mode varying according to the circumstances of the day. Their obligation is gone, not acknowledged, not in practice. At the very best the first principles are regarded as simple truths; as totally unimportant and without value, in action. Even honor, the best gift of the feudal system—in many points a sufficient (in almost all a useful substitute for natural morality) does not exist in the system of France, in a word the great principles of action; the great cements of society; the three great restraints on vice and passion—religion, natural morality and honor, have all perished in France. The system of Jacobinism has been followed by that of military despotism. The principles of action have taken the same course—France as a nation, and every Frenchman individually, has the morals of a soldier, a slave, a sophist; one who believes nothing with sufficient faith to induce him to adopt it as a principle of action; one who systematically distrusts his reason, and secretly obeys his fears, his passions, his immediate interest. Who would trust such an individual? who could confide in such a nation?
As to the manners of the present race of Frenchmen, the picture is still more abhorrent. The manners of a nation are its minor morals; or rather perhaps, its morals in action through the daily intercourse of life and domestic society. The manners in France therefore at the present day, are such as are suited to its morals. The shadow is as deformed as the substance from which it is projected. Their private virtue is at least as bad as their public virtue. They are as bad husbands, fathers, friends, neighbors, masters, and dependants as they are citizens. Break their general character into all possible fragments, and every component atom will be found of the same shape, the same precise quality as the genuine mass. Nor is this state of things temporary. There is an action and reaction which tends to continue it. The state corrupts the individual—the individual supplies the stock of

corruption to the state. Each mutually feeds and is fed. The minor channels corrupting as they flow, return to swell the grand national reservoir, which overflows in its turn with an augmented force of venom, and assimilates to itself whatever it touches.
Such therefore is the civil despotism of the French government. The five means of control, and the securities of a moderate exercise of the sovereign power—constitution, and aristocracy of privileged classes and acknowledged corporations, long usages, morals and manners, have no existence. One supreme will governs every thing. Treaties are without sanction and force. The public faith, the private virtue of one who has affected every thing by his contempt of it.
Regarded in its second point of view, as a military despotism, the French form of government is still more worthy of attention. Bonaparte is the Genghis Khan of Europe. He knows no law but the sword—no legislative assembly but the camp. The sword is his sceptre, the camp is his cabinet. Uniting the military simplicity of the Tatar conquerors with the military science of Europe, he rests not a moment from his martial habits; he is ever in a state to take the field in the very instant of his necessity. In peace as in war, he is in a state of encampment, and the whole resources of his nation are ready at his call, as the sword which is suspended in its sheath by his side. He is in every sense of the word a conqueror, and a military monarch. His system of rule is that of the feudal system purged of its ancient weakness. He is an emperor, an emperor in the strictest sense of the word as employed in the lower Roman empire—an emperor at the head of confederate officers, all connected with the chief, and with each other, by a common interest, an emperor elected by his fortune and his guards, governing his people with military despotism, and retaining his army by military discipline. His prefects and officers are but so many Caesars, who govern the distant provinces under their patron and political father, the great Augustus. This system of empire, as it is founded, so must it be maintained by conquest. Like the principle of motion, it ceases to exist when it ceases to proceed. It has moreover a still more fatal characteristic. The adage ancient as the world, Male nurat sua , does not apply to it. It easily admits of accession. If another kingdom is added it requires but another prefect.
The history of mankind is as uniform as the materials of human action. This empire will be sooner or later overturned by the jealousies of the confederate princes. But from its present and immediate energy, it will in time overthrow every thing around it. Kingdom after kingdom will fall into its mass, till, like the death of the poet, having destroyed every thing about it, it will terminate by preying on itself. A new system will then succeed. The present monarchies of Europe are the fragments of the feudal system. When the military system, under which Europe must now suffer for some centuries, shall in its turn become split and shattered, our posterity will behold new forms of empire, and modes of rule, which prophecy has not seen through the foggy vista of time, could scarcely believe, though it were the finger of Divinity that pointed to them.
As to the personal character of Bonaparte, imagination, accustomed to the ordinary course of nature, averts from it with incredulity. Every age has its standard of vice or of virtue. The atrocity of the age of Tiberius was not to be expected in the nineteenth century. Human reason, as it was supposed, had made some progress in the lapse of so many centuries—had kept pace at least with the procession of the equinox—had advanced with the maturity of nature. If this even admitted a doubt, the immediate gift of Heaven itself, the Spirit of Christianity, had passed over the surface of the moral world, and softened the venom of original malignity and primal evil. It was not, therefore, to be expected, that the course of time, returning as it were by a backward current, should reproduce in the nineteenth century the Seculum Pyrrhae, nova monstra quæstæ . This prodigy of another age, however, has appeared amongst us.

Mr. Poulton.—The following is a copy of a genuine direction upon a letter not long since sent from Lancaster county, to a person in this city, in order to be forwarded by the first vessel for Ireland; its oddity struck my attention, and I offer it you for insertion:
"To Dennis M'Farrow in the county of Tipperary in the kingdom of Ireland and if he should not be there deliver it to Bridget Dougherty his first cousin and if she should be dead deliver it to Brady M'Gon per
"haps he may be hung for he was a little light fingered and if that should be the case deliver it to his great uncle Allen M'Cafferty however he talked some time ago of going over to England to collect some moneys due his aunt Lizzy and if that should be the case then please to deliver to Mr. Farron Walnut who lives at the sign of the green tree."

Dixon, of the brig Bulia, who arrived yesterday from Antigua, mentions that he was informed by Captain Stanford, of the schooner John, of Newbury-Port, from Point Petre, Guadalupe, that a number of vessels of war and privateers, were fitting out at the latter port to capture all vessels bound to a British port. By the same arrival we are furnished with a long list of vessels sent by the British cruisers, into Antigua, for adjudication. These things united, do not bespeak that flourishing and prosperous state of our commerce, which the addressers of Mr. Jefferson so much boast of.
[N. Y. rep.] The following communication was received this morning through the post-office.
New-York Com. Ad. A literary gentleman lately arrived in this city from England, furnishes us with the following curious information. On the sixteenth day of June, 1796, one hundred young scientific gentlemen, who had then just finished their education in the colleges of England and Scotland, met by appointment at Yarmouth, where they resolved, under the strictest injunction of secrecy, "that each of them should, in order to obtain correct information of the world, and of the customs, manners and dispositions of mankind, quit their native Island, and reside for ten years successively in different foreign countries particularly specified; and that they should on the first day of September eighteen hundred and seven, again meet together in London for the purpose of reading over their different Journals and of preparing the same for publication." This strange resolution was actually put in practice and on the 1st day of January eighteen hundred and seven, it was known to some scientific men in London, that thirteen of the young adventurers had died and the remaining 78 would certainly meet next summer according to agreement. It is said that one of these adventurers has constantly resided in the city of New York where he had collected a most valuable mass of information. T. M.
Extract of a letter from messrs. Grievegne and Co. of Malaga, dated 16th Jan. last, to a respectable correspondent of theirs in N. York. "The French privateers have already begun to capture American vessels, two have been carried into Alicante, under the supposition of having goods of British manufacture on board, and God knows to what a pitch this may be carried; it will be proper that every expedition carries a certificate from the French consul as well as the Spanish, though bound to a port in this country."
CINCINNATI, March 2. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Washington, Kentucky to his correspondent in this town, dated 25th of February, 1807. "Report, says the Kentucky Gazette, was in town, tho' not credited, that Burr had shot Wilkinson at Washington, Miss. Ter. where he, Wilkinson, had come to depose against him, when at the bar, giving in his testimony."
FRANKFORT, Feb. 27. Extract of a letter dated town of Washington, near Natchez, 9th of February 1807. After stating the proceedings of the court, the writer adds—"It seems that he (Burr) went to his boats on the Mississippi above Natchez a few miles—harrangued his people, told them that he was obliged to leave them—that he could not now comply with his promises to them—but assured them that they should have the lands he had promised on the Washita—that it would be some months before he should see them again; but, that they should not be disappointed."
It is reported, but I know not on what grounds, that he then crossed the Mississippi accompanied by one Ashley who was formerly of the party of Philip Nolan. I have been inclined to think that he is still in this neighborhood. Three of his company have been arrested, viz. Mr. Blannerhasset, Mr. Davis Floyd, Mr. Rolston—on the ground, it is said, of information given by persons formerly in the scheme,
stating the intention to seize Baton Rouge, and probably Fort Adams. They are not yet finally committed for trial. The party seems to have frittered away to nothing—and many people ignorant probably of the real views of Mr. Burr will be most materially injured.
Never, perhaps, did an enterprise of such vast extent, and aided by such a concentration of intrigue, talents and energy, terminate in effects so truly contemptible. A Spanish officer came to Mr. Burr ten days ago from Pensacola. His friend go. verno Folch, after forbidding the passage of the United States troops from Fort Stoddart to New Orleans, to arrest the progress of Burr, has come into the settlement of Baton Rouge to make an idle parade of resistance. Possibly the ex Vice-President may next show himself there—but let him shew himself where he will, if from the scattered embers of a fallen faction, he ever revives in a shape formidable to the safety or tranquility of the U. States, he will be a Phoenix indeed.

PROOF,
Of the good effects of Lee and Son's Genuine Medicine, shewn by the following cases of cures:
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges.
This medicine, which is as innocent & mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, 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.
From the many cases of cures that daily come to our knowledge, we have selected the following:
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son. You are at liberty to publish the astonishing cure performed by your Lozenges on my son, 10 years old, who was afflicted with fevers, pain in his side, and a continual head-ache, which reduced him so low that he was unable to sit up. One of my neighbors advised me to use your Lozenges, which has had the happy effect of restoring him to a better state of health than he has enjoyed for several years, in the short space of seventeen days. JOHN KELLEY, Pitt-street.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
My son, five years old, has for some time past been very unhealthy, having fevers, headaches, and loss of appetite. Hearing of the many cures performed by your Worm Lozenges, I was induced to give them a trial. The effect was beyond my expectation, as a large quantity of small worms was expelled; hundreds of them was alive for some time after. JOHN KENNEDY, Potter-street. Baltimore, Jan. 4th, 1807.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
Having observed in the newspaper an advertisement of yours describing the good qualities of your Worm Lozenges, induced me to call at the store of Warner and Hanna, and to make a trial of some of them on a female child of my friend's, who was in my care, which, from her symptoms of disease, viz. sickness, a picking at the nose, offensive breath, and other like circumstances, authorised myself and Mrs. McCormick to determine that worms was the complaint; accordingly a few days since, I made a trial of the medicine, agreeable to the directions, and I am happy to say, that on the third day, afterwards the child evacuated large worms, and other offensive matter, such as to me was astonishing that any human being could have contained—particularly at so early an age as one year and a half old. For the good of society I have much pleasure in mentioning the case, and to observe that the child is now perfectly well, and assumes a healthy appearance. Any other
information I shall give with pleasure on application to me, at my house in Frederick-street, near Messrs. Van Wyck and Dorsey's auction room.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
Of the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States, a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia.
Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
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.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickening of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moulder and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine-street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.) Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those
who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent; and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton-Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1805.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
