CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, April 2.
Mr. J. Randolph, stated that an understanding had taken place, between the minister of the United States at Paris, and the French minister of the public treasury, as to the payment of claims of American citizens, generally called Bordeaux, embargo claims, the payment of which had heretofore been suspended, by which it was agreed that the payment should be made at the treasury of the United States — Under existing provisions this authority did not attach to the treasury. He had therefore been instructed by the committee of ways and means, to present a bill to give this power. He accordingly offered a bill supplementary to an act making provision for the payment of claims, of certain citizens of the United States on the government of France, which was referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Varnum reported from the committee appointed to enquire into such measures as it is expedient to adopt for the complete arming of the militia of the United States, giving a very interesting detail of the extent to which the militia are at present armed, by which it appears that there are in the hands of the militia, two hundred and fifty thousand fire arms, and one hundred and twenty thousand in the public magazines of the United States — The report recommends an additional appropriation of sixty one thousand dollars towards the manufacture of arms, which was subsequently introduced in the military appropriation bill.
An engrossed bill to provide for the adjustment of titles to land in the territory of Michigan and for other purposes, was read a third time and passed; Yeas 62.
Mr. Gregg made an unfavorable report on the petition of John Bond, in which the house concurred.
Mr. Crowninshield from the committee of commerce and manufactures, made a favorable report on the petition of Francis Remy, which was referred to a committee of the whole house.
The house took up the unfinished business of yesterday, being the report of the committee of the whole, agreeing to the following resolution, offered by Mr. J. Randolph.
3d. Resolved, That provision ought to be made, by law, to render any officer, in the army or navy of the United States incapable of holding any civil office under the U. States.
Mr. Fisk moved to postpone this resolution indefinitely.
This motion was supported by Messrs. Fisk, Elmer, and Cook; and opposed by Messrs. J. Clay, J. Randolph, and J. C. Smith.
When the question was taken by yeas and nays, and the motion disagreed to — Yeas 43 — Nays 72.
The question was then taken by yeas and nays, on concurring with the committee of the whole in their agreement to the resolution, and passed in the affirmative: Yeas 94: Nays 21.
The resolution was referred to a select committee to report a bill.
On motion of Mr. Newton the resolution offered by him on the 29th ult. proposing an amendment to the constitution, "That no person holding a contract under the government of the U. States, or who shall directly or indirectly participate in the emoluments of such contract, shall be capable of holding a seat in the senate or house of representatives of the U. States" was referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the union.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole, Mr. Gregg in the chair, on the bill making military appropriations for the year 1806.
Having gone through the same, the com-
mittee rose and reported the bill, and the house ordered it to a third reading to-morrow.
Mr. Jackson called for the order of the day on the report of the committee of commerce and manufactures, on the petition of sundry inhabitants of Charlestown, in Virginia, praying that that place should be made a port of entry.
Mr. Lieb moved an indefinite postponement of the report.
Mr. Jackson opposed this motion, and spoke at some length in favor of the constitutional rights of the petitioners to be allowed a port of entry.
Mr. Crowninshield tho' against postponement and in favor of the discussing the principle, contested the right.
Mr. Lieb withdrew his motion; when the motion to consider the report was disagreed to, only 13 members rising in favor of it.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole;
Mr. Gregg in the chair: On the bill, further to alter and establish certain post roads.
After considerable progress the committee rose, and obtained leave to sit again.
Mr. J. Randolph, from the committee of ways and means, submitted a bill supplementary to the act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt, with an accompanying letter from the secretary of the treasury; which was referred to a committee of the whole house on Monday.

CITY ADDRESS.
Yesterday, the right honorable the lord mayor, the aldermen, sheriffs and common council of the city of London, waited upon his majesty at St. James's, (being introduced by the lord in waiting) with the following address, which was read by John Sylvester, esq. the recorder:
"To the king's most excellent majesty." "The humble, loyal and dutiful address of the lord mayor, aldermen and commons of the city of London, in common council assembled."
"Most gracious sovereign," "We, your majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the lord mayor, aldermen and commons of the city of London, in common council assembled, most humbly approach your majesty with the warmest sentiments of loyalty and attachment to your majesty's sacred person and family."
"We beg to assure your majesty, that while we contemplate with the deepest concern and disappointment, the late disastrous events which have led in so rapid and extraordinary a manner, to the defeat and humiliation of the Austrian power, we cannot refrain from offering to your majesty, our sincere thanks and congratulations, on the formation of an administration, combining men of the highest consideration and talents, affording amidst these adverse events, the cheering prospect, that by such an union of wisdom and energy in your majesty's councils, a system of vigor, vigilance and economy will be adopted, which may support our public affairs, preserve and strengthen our national security, and prove most conducive to the honor and dignity of your majesty's crown, and the happiness and liberties of your people."
"Viewing the high and distinguished characters composing your majesty's present government, we have perfect confidence, that under your majesty's direction, the national strength will be augmented, its resources improved and preserved, and the utmost energies of a free, loyal and united people will be called into action, so that with the blessing of Divine Providence, this country may keep fast its liberties and independence, and may maintain its due rank among the nations of Europe."
"Permit us to assure your majesty of our firm co-operation in every measure which may be deemed essential towards resisting any unreasonable pretensions on the part of your majesty's enemies, and for enabling your majesty to restore to your people the blessings of peace, on such terms as may be consistent with the honor, dignity and safety of these realms."
"Signed, by order of the court, "HENRY WOODTHORPE."
To which address his majesty was pleased to return the following most gracious answer:
"I thank you for this loyal and dutiful address. I receive with the highest satisfaction, your assurances of loyalty and
attachment to my person and family; and you may rest assured that I can have no other object in view, in the measures adopted for the administration of my government, than to maintain the honor and dignity of my crown, and the union, the happiness and the essential interests of my people."
They were all very graciously received and had the honor to kiss his majesty's hand.
PHILADELPHIA, April 4.
Yesterday arrived the ship Phoenix, captain Peterson, four months from Leghorn but sixteen days from Antigua where she put in to water, having been obliged to bear away from this coast on the 21st of January last, after beating a long time in hopes of getting in, having met with a great deal of hard weather. On the 21st January finding himself in a perilous situation from hard blowing weather and reduced to fifty gallons of water; he bore away for the West Indies; on the 6th of February made the Island of Guadalupe, and being at that time reduced to eight or ten gallons of water, pushed for Basseterre, with an intention to send his boat ashore for water & then run for St. Thomas' to refit, but about five o'clock in the evening off Basseterre roads, he was boarded by three armed boats from the British ship of war Unicorn, capt. Hardyman; they did not appear to have any intention to detain him and in a friendly manner supplied him with water, and sent an officer and four unarmed men on board the Phoenix, to assist him into St. Johns, Antigua, to repair his damages, and as appears from the following letter from captain Hardyman.
His Majesty's ship Unicorn, at sea, 9th February 1806.
SIR, Since I saw you yesterday evening and in conversation relative to yourself &c. I have given it its due consideration, & I hope viewed all its circumstances, in its true light and I trust that you will believe that your very liberal and disinterested kindness shown to captain Dundas, bears a grateful impression on my mind, and I shall feel a pride upon all proper occasions, in making a return for your generous attention.
As your ship from distress of weather has proved leaky and your foremast sprung I sent an officer with men to give you every necessary assistance for the purpose of proceeding to Antigua to get those defects repaired; where I conceive it may be done at the least expense, and from thence you can proceed under legal authority, to any place you may judge proper, without the risk of seizure or detention by the cruisers, privateers, &c. of any nation.
These steps I am induced to adopt as a trivial return for your attentions as before mentioned and in conformity to my public and relative situation.
I am sir, Your most obedient, Humble servant, I. F. HARDYMAN. To captain Peterson of the American ship Phoenix.
The Phoenix arrived at Antigua the 9th but to the captain's astonishment, the ship was labelled for account of captain Hardyman, however on a hearing before the court of vice admiralty, she was cleared, though a valuable vessel!
Captain Peterson sailed from Antigua, the 18th ult. and left there the following vessels:
Brig Ceres, Foster from Guadalupe, for New York, taken by the privateer schr. Victory, carried to Montserrat, and after a detention of fifty one days, brought to trial and property the amount of 9 thousand dollars laid over for further proof, brig Martha and Mary, Carlson, from Martinique for Baltimore, vessel and cargo libelled; brig Ann Maria, Speak from Guadalupe, for New York, had her trial on the 5th of March, a part of his cargo on freight taken from him, and obliged to bottomry his vessel and cargo.
The Ann Maria was to sail the same day with the Phoenix; brig Grace and Green, Savin, of & from Philadelphia, for St. Thomas, but expected to be liberated without trial, brig Fair American, Trickett, from Martinique, vessel and cargo libelled; schr. Edwards, Parrott, from Guadalupe, for Baltimore, vessel and cargo libelled; schr. Maria Antinot, Tiffing, detained for trial; schr. Speculation, Schilling, of and from Bremen, for Martinique, brought up the 7th March by the British frigate Hippomene, Woolcombe, (cargo valued at 90,000 dollars, an object worth attention,) ship and cargo libelled. Also brought up by the Hippomene, a large Danish ship from Copenhagen, for St. Croix, with government stores, for that Island, since liberated by paying all costs. Several small
Danish and Swedish vessels also under adjudication, names not recollected. Brig Hope of Providence, R. I. with a cargo for the ill. and, drove on shore, but likely to be got off with little damage. Several other vessels from North Carolina, Norfolk, and the Italian states, with their proper cargoes, names not recollected as they were none of the unfortunate, little notice was taken of them.
Same day arrived, the brig Eliza, capt. Nye, from New Orleans, which he left the 7th March. In coming down the river on the 8th, spoke ship Washington, of New York from Jamaica, for New Orleans. At English Turn, spoke brig Ann, Chapman, of Norwich, from New Orleans, for Hamburg. On his passage he spoke a British sloop of war, the captain of which, told captain Nye, that having been drove near the Florida coast in a severe gale of wind he saw in passing along the same a number of vessels which were drove ashore, as he supposes, in the gale a few days before.
Same day arrived, brig Ariadne, capt. Yard, 26 days from St. Croix, where he left the brig St. Croix Packet, captain Taiman, to sail for this port about the 20th of March. Captain Y. spoke, March 8, in Sail Rock passage, schr. Felicity, of and from Baltimore for Laguara, out 10 days; in lat. 20, 42. long. 65, 15, a Schooner from Baltimore for Curacoa, we could not learn her name. In lat. 23, 39, long. 65, 40, brig Augusta, Mezea, from Bourbon for Baltimore, out 75 days; and in lat. 33, 49, long. 71, 00, spoke a ship from Norfolk, out 6 days, bound to Campeachy, had been drove on her beam ends and lost her mizen mast, was then steering for Charleston to repair.
Captain Quandrill, of the Clarissa, from Jamaica, spoke, March 15, in lat. 23, 51, schr. Independence, from Jamaica, bound to N. York, March 20, failed through the British fleet, from Jamaica bound to Halifax, under convoy of the brig Hunter, in sight of the Florida shore, March 29, in lat. 27, 31, spoke ship Maria from Jamaica for Norfolk, 55 days out and short of provisions.
Schooner Fly, M'Farlane, from Basseterre, (whose arrival we mentioned yesterday) failed in company with Schooner Experiment, Cotton, for Baltimore; parted company the 9th. March 7, in lat. 19, 55, long. 63, 50, spoke ship Nancy, Hobbs, of Baltimore, 24 days from Lisbon for Savannah, 23d, lat. 36, 27, long. 72, brig Ceres, of N. York, 4 days from Savannah, for St. Croix.
Extract from the Log-Book of the schr. John capt. Dickinson, from Gonaves.
March 4th, latitude 22, 37, when under convoy of the brig Numa and schr. General Eaton, of Baltimore, we descried 2 strange sail to windward in chase of the fleet, which after coming up proved to be two strong French privateer surs of about 8 guns, and 100 men each, when after firing a gun and hoisting their colours, engaged the brig and schooner, but after having received a few well directed broadsides of cannon, grape and langridge, thought it most advisable to sheer off, when they immediately bore down upon us (being to leeward) and when within the distance of about 40 yards, commenced a heavy firing on us with their muskets and blunderbusses, which compelled the crew to desert the deck, for the safety of their lives, and when they were on the eve of boarding and carrying us, and we had declined all hopes of escaping, we were happily relieved by the brig and schooner reaching us, in time to cut us off, when they again attacked them, and after exchanging a few more broadsides, which they by no means relished, and finding no prospect of success, they thought proper to content themselves with the loss they had sustained, and took themselves off with nothing more than a Scotch prize. We fortunately sustained no injury other than getting our sail and rigging cut away by their shot. The brig had one man killed and two wounded, and the schooner one man killed. The loss of the enemy must have been great, both of killed and wounded. Much credit is due to Captain Wilson, of the Numa and Captain Robinson of the General Eaton, for their gallant and noble bravery displayed in beating off those vessels, and for their skillful manoeuvring in defending and protecting us from capture.
In lat. 31, 42, experienced a very severe gale of wind, and in laying too shipped a sea that carried away all our upper works on the larboard side, stove the boat, and occasioned the vessel to spring leak. Lat. 34, 16, spoke the brig George, Captain McDrum, out 32 days from St. Croix bound to New York, who had the goodness to supply us with some provisions. Same day, spoke the ship Charlotte, Captain Wickes, out 4 days from Wilmington, N. C. bound to Hamburg.

TUESDAY, April 8.
As the season is coming on when that dreadful disease, the hydrophobia, more commonly prevails among the canine race, we hasten to lay before our readers the following account of a remedy which has every appearance of being effectual.
[Evening Post.]
STATE OF NEW YORK.
Comptroller's Office.
Pursuant to the direction of an act entitled "An act for granting a compensation to John M. Crous, for discovering and publishing a cure for the canine madness," passed the 20th day of February 1806, I do hereby certify, that the said John M. Crous, hath this day deposited in this office a certain writing, purporting to be the remedy used by him with certain success for more than twenty years past, for the cure of the hydrophobia or canine madness, which writing is in the words and figures following, to wit:
Cure for the bite of the mad dog.
The following is an account and prescription of a cure for the hydrophobia or canine madness, made by John M. Crous, in conformity to an act of the legislature of this state of New York, passed in their recent session, viz.
1st. Take one ounce of the jaw bone of a dog, burned and pulverised, or pounded to fine dust.
2dly. Take the false tongue of a newly-soaled colt; let that be also dried and pulverized—and,
3dly. The one scruple of the verdigree, which is raised on the surface of old copper by laying in moist earth; the coppers of George I. or II. are the purest and best. Mix these ingredients together, and if the patient be an adult or full grown, take the common tea spoonfull a day, and so in proportion for a child according to its age one half of the copper of the above kind, if to be had; if not, then a small increased quantity of any baser metal of the same kind: this to be taken in a small quantity of water.
Take next morning fasting (or before eating) repeat the same as before. This, if complied with after the biting of the dog, or before symptoms of madness, will effectually prevent any appearance of the disorder; but if after the symptoms appear, a physician must immediately be applied to, to administer the following, viz:
Three drams of verdigree of the kind forementioned, mixed with half an ounce of calomel, to be taken at one dose. This quantity the physician need not fear to administer, as the reaction of the venom then diffused through the whole system of the patient, neutralizes considerably the powerful quality of the medicine.
Secondly, if in three hours thereafter the patient is not completely relieved, administer four grains of pure opium, or one.

MIRANDA EXPEDITION.
Our readers may recollect a COMMUNICATION in our paper of the 4th of March in which the writer observes to the editor "I have left a letter with Mr. Hylton, the clerk of the council, addressed to you, and to be delivered when it can do no injury to the cause in question; in which you will
find the outlines of the design; the place of rendezvous, &c. You must not blame my caution in keeping the port or place of destination from the public: for the minister of Spain would gladly know it, and by express might possibly prevent the design." With this introductory explanation we submit the following letters to the attention of the public.
No. 1.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER; Richmond, April 1, 1806.
SIR,
One month having elapsed since the period at which the enclosed letter was put into my hands by Stephen Sayre, esq. I now send it to you agreeably to his request and in conformity to the assurance I then gave him. From the manner in which Mr. Sayre sometime ago communicated to the public (through the medium of your press) the fact that this letter was lodged with me, it might seem that its contents were known or might be known to the executive or myself; but that was altogether impossible. The truth is, that Mr. Sayre confided the letter to me in my private character, as he might have done to any other individual, sealed up as you now receive it, and with instructions endorsed upon it, as you will perceive, to hold it up till the present time. Neither the executive nor myself had, or could have, on terms that were honorable, any kind of control over the letter, and my most sacred honor is pledged, that I am at this moment as ignorant of its contents, as any other citizen of the commonwealth can be.
I am, with great respect,
Your most obedient humble serv't, DANIEL L. HYLTUN.

[To be delivered when the place of Miranda's destination is made known; or within one month from the first day of March, whether known or not.]
Richmond, 1st March 1806.
MR. RITCHIE,
SIR,
I have heretofore withheld this communication, lest the minister of Spain, might have had time to prevent the plan I wish to see effected.
Miranda has the permission from the British government to make Trinidad the place of rendezvous; he is gone there. The delegates of Caracas, St. Fee and Mexico, are now there, or expected to meet him. Some delay may take place; therefore it would be imprudent to name the place of attack, rather the place to be surren dered, to be made the seat of confederati on.
If Miranda is not gone to that island, you may laugh at my credulity; if you hear of his being there, you may put more confidence, than heretofore, in any communications I shall make as to this subject.
Yours, &c.
STEPHEN SAYRE.
Let then experience decide upon the correctness of the foregoing communication! We know of no circumstance, which contradicts it; every fact indeed, which it contains, bears the strongest marks of probability, and it derives no little confirmation from the writer's volunteering his character in support of the cause he has espoused. It is probable that he may be himself mistaken in his opinions; but the martyrdom, which he has offered to brave, proves him at least confident in their truth. Once more, let experience decide upon their correctness!
According to Mr. Sayre's letter; the British government have at least permitted him to make Trinidad, the place of rendezvous. But is this the only facility, which they design to give him? Is he to receive no aid of arms, of ships, or troops from the British government in that island? It may be that this was the only protection, which they have promised; perhaps in a case where so little was known of the resources of Miranda, and so much was to depend upon subsequent events, it was not their interest to have promised any positive reinforcements.
The case however will be materially altered, if Miranda's resources should exceed their expectations; if the delegates of Caracas, St. Fee, and Mexico, should meet with him at Trinidad, and prove to the satisfaction of the British Government, that the people of S. America are ripe for a revolution and able to accomplish it. In such a case may he not expect more effectual succors from them than a "place of rendezvous" For the protection thus
rendered, the British government will scarcely be compensated by the injury which Spain her enemy during the present war is likely to sustain from the loss of her colonies. She will expect some more substantial compensation; some extraordinary privileges of trade, at least in the ports of the provinces whose emancipation is to be attempted: perhaps the surrender of some of their ports into her own hands—Let Miranda even beware, that Great Britain should not aspire to the occupation of the whole country, which he may rescue from the Spanish yoke. The lion and other beasts agreed to hunt in partnership; and it would be wise in the colonies of South America to remember the result of the fable.
The island of Trinidad where Miranda and the deputies from South America are said to have rendezvoused, is on the N. E. coast of Terra Firma, & at the entrance of that mouth of the river, Orocooko, which is most frequently denominated the gulph of Paria. It is separated on the S. from Paria on the continent, by a strait about ten mi. over; and from Cumanna on the West, by the gulph of Paria. The distance from Trinidad to the continent is of course inconsiderable, and a few hours sail and a few hours march may conduct Miranda into the very heart of Caraccas, his native province.
One consequence of this arrangement is too obvious to be mistaken. The reader will recollect that Trinidad was a Spanish colony, before it passed into the hands of Great Britain; to whom it was ceded by the 3d article of the treaty of Amiens. Can he then suppose, that if the fact of Miranda's rendezvousing at Trinidad should be made known to Spain before the conclusion of the peace in Europe, she will suffer it to remain in the hands of Great Britain? Will she abandon to her, an island, which may in all future wars become an asylum for her discontented subjects, a place of rendezvous for a British expedition against her territories, and the very key of Caraccas?
Caraccas which Mr. Sayre represents as one of the insurgent provinces, is a district of Terra Firma, bounded on the North by the Gulph of Mexico, lat. 10, 30. N. Its capital, St. Iago de Leon, stands at a considerable distance from the sea; is large, wealthy and populous; extremely difficult of access and contains 20,000 inhabitants. The province of Santa Fee, which Mr. Sayre alludes to, must not be confounded with the city of Santa Fee, lat. 36, 50, which is the capital of New Mexico in N. America, nor with a town in Paraguay, situated at the confluence of the Salado with the Plata, in lat. 30, 45 S. Mr. Sayre's Santa Fee, we presume is a province in the Vice-Royalty of New Grenada, whose capital, according to some geographers, is called Santa Fee de Bogota, in N. lat. 4. Mexico the other insurgent territory, is not the New Mexico of N. America, but Mexico or New Spain, which forms the Isthmus between N. and S. America.
The meditated project of Miranda does not seem, therefore, to embrace the whole of the Spanish provinces in South America. Several provinces in the Vice Royalty of New Grenada will be unrepresented at Trinidad; besides every province in the Vice Royalty of Buenos Ayres; and the Vice Royalty of Peru, which includes Chili. Perhaps these colonies contained too great a number of native Spaniards or official slaves, to be comprehended in the conspiracy: Perhaps Miranda and his friends have not dared to disseminate their project too widely, from the fear of multiplying too much the chances of detection. Should success, however, crown their efforts, the revolution of Miranda will take a wider sweep. Spain might then tremble for all her possessions in South America. Peru and Buenos Ayres would in all likelihood "pursue the triumph and partake the gale." A new confederat ion of states might start into existence; tumultu ous and chaotic at first, but through the aid of the press, and the extending information of the people, settling down by degrees into some fixed and harmonious system. The people would become freer, as they become more enlightened. And the United States of South America like the United States of the North, will present to admiring Europe, another republic, independent, confederated and happy.
Success then to the man, who recollects the country that gave him birth and to whom he would give freedom!!!
From the Northumberland (Pen.) Argus.
MR. BINNS,
The unfortunate circumstance which happened to Mr. Slater last week, brought to my recollection a transaction which was exhibited something more than twenty years ago. A person in or near London made known to the public, that he had provided materials for a house, all of wood, and that they were proof against fire, and that on a day fixed, he would have it on Putney Common, and a sufficient quantity of combustibles to try the experiment. Accordingly a great concourse of people assembled. The house was set up, and fire set to it in several places, but it would not burn. The fact is, the wood had been rendered incombustible, by its being previ-
ously boiled or soaked in alum water. Boards that are used near a stove pipe, or in any situation near the fire, might be soaked with the above and so prevent them from catching fire, and save all the calamity which so often follows such accidents.
Should this information be attended with any advantage to the public it will be a gratification to
JOHN WHEATLY.

VALUABLE FAMILY MEDICINES.
Just received direct from the Patentees, and FOR SALE BY JAMES KENNEDY, JUN. DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachel Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the Spring and Fall seasons, such as Intermitting Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills.
THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Ache, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholic, Gout, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.
A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 42 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Biliary Pills or Family Phyic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and effect of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti biliary bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste,
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and highly esteemed by all those who value the preservation of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Worm Powders.
A medicine which for efficacy and safety in its operation stands unrivaled. The most authenticated proofs and respectable authorities of its astonishing virtues, and surprising effects, in extreme and alarming cases of worms, may be seen at the place of sale. Price 50 cents a packet.
Dr. Cooley's Vegetable Elixir; Or Cough Drops,
For Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, Spitting of blood, and all diseases of the lungs. Its merits stand unrivaled. Price 50 cents a bottle.
