CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, March 26.
On motion of Mr. Nelson, a committee was appointed to bring in a bill supplementary to the militia act of the district of Columbia.
The committee on public lands on the petition of Robertson, made a report concluding with a resolution that the petitioner have leave to withdraw his petition, under the impression that if any provision be made for his case, it should be of a general nature including all like cases.
Mr. Blackledge. From the best information I have been able to collect, by an examination of the documents laid on our table, as well as by conversation with gentlemen better acquainted with the subject than myself, I find that from the sales of public lands already made, there will be to be collected in the course of about four years upwards of 200,000 dollars, from the same sources of information I likewise learn, that in the course of the present year, in the state of Ohio only, upwards of 200,000 dollars are to be paid, or the lands must be sold to raise the balance from the persons owing this enormous sum, and that sales for a part of it are to commence in this or the next month. The petitions presented to congress at this session, praying for an extension of credit for the balances due from the petitioners, and depicting the distresses to which many must be reduced if our laws are rigidly enforced, ought to draw our attention to what is to be the probable consequences of a system which in practice is found likely to bring largely in debt to the government, so considerable a proportion of the citizens of any section of the union. To my mind there is nothing more obnoxious, than that if the present system of selling our lands is persevered in, the peace of the union may and probably will not be preserved. Men who have paid three-fourths or perhaps more of the purchase money for their lands, and spent several years hard labor in improving them, cannot feel very strongly attached, nay, must feel an aversion, to a government, whose rigid policy, in consequence of their having failed to pay the balance which may be due, takes from them not only their lands and improvements, but refuses even to refund that part of the purchase money which may have been paid. Let the number of persons of this description increase to that extent to which our present system naturally leads, and I fear, Sir, it will be impossible to enforce your laws. No man will dare to bid at your sales, his life must be in danger if he does; and though the lands in such cases would revert to the government, what good would it do to them? The first purchaser is in possession, and the spirit of the community in which he lives is in favor of his holding it. To evict him you must resort to force, the consequences of which are too obvious to need description. A committee of this house has already decided the principle that it would be improper to grant a longer indulgence to those whose time of credit has expired. To have decided otherwise would have been to adopt towards your debtors for the purchase of your lands, a practice directly contrary from that which under similar circumstances of hardship has been uniformly observed towards your debtors at the custom houses: a distinction which cannot, as I conceive, be justified by any principle of policy or justice. I know of no way by which the evils to be apprehended can be so effectually averted as to put a stop to the practice of selling the public lands on credit, and with the view to bringing the subject before congress, and ascertaining their opinion upon it, I beg leave to submit the following resolution:
Resolved, That the committee on public lands be instructed to enquire into the expediency of repealing all such parts of the several acts for the sale of the lands of the United States as authorizes a credit on any part of the purchase money, and that they report their opinion thereupon.
Mr. Newton moved an amendment, going to refer this resolution to the committee of ways and means, which did not prevail—Ayes 13—
When the resolution was agreed to without a division.
Mr. G. W. Campbell, from the committee to whom were referred sundry memorials from the legislature and inhabitants of the Mississippi territory, relative to the establishment of a hospital at Natchez, made a report in favor of aiding such an institution, by granting 15,000 acres of land.
Referred to a committee of the whole house on Monday.
A message was received from the senate, stating that they insist on their amendment to the bill for fixing the compensation of the officers of the house: that they have agreed to the resolution returning thanks to Mr. Nifsen, the Danish consul at Tripoli: that they have agreed to the amendments of the house to the Ohio road bill (this bill has consequently passed both houses): and that they have receded from all their amendments but the last to the bill providing rules for the army.
BRITISH AFFAIRS.
The bill prohibiting the importation of certain [British] goods; wares and merchandise was read the third time.
Mr. J. Randolph spoke for a few minutes against the passage of the bill.
He was followed by Mr. Clopton, who advocated the passage in a short speech, prefacing his remarks by observing that during the whole previous course of this business he had been detained from the house by extreme illness.
Mr. Newton then spoke at a considerable length on the same side.
Mr. Lyon moved to recommit the bill, with the view of so amending it as to give its operation effect on the 1st of July, and also with the view of proposing further amendments.
Mr. Bidwell opposed the recommitment.
Mr. Sloan made a few remarks in favor of the bill.
Mr. J. Randolph again spoke against the passage of the bill.
The motion to recommit was lost; Ayes 20.
When the yeas and nays were taken on the passage of the bill, and were; Yeas 93—Nays 32.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole; Mr. Gregg in the chair; on the bill making appropriations for the civil list.
The several blanks were filled & the bill reported to the house.
Thursday, March 27.
The house were almost exclusively engaged in considering the bill making appropriation for the support of government, which, having undergone various amendments, was read a third time and passed.
Mr. J. Randolph from the committee of Ways and Means, reported two bills, one making appropriations for the support of the military establishment, and the other making appropriations for the support of the navy, for the year 1806, which were referred to a committee of the whole house.
Mr. Clark moved the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is expedient so far to amend the act fixing the military peace establishment of the United States, as to abolish the office of brigadier general in the army of the United States.
Documents accompanying the President's message of the 19th instant.
Natchitoches, 1st Feb. 1806.
Sir, YOU are immediately to proceed with the detachment now under your command, to the neighborhood of Adais, where, should you find all in with a nation or party of armed Spaniards, you will command them, or any other armed party of foreigners which you may discover, to withdraw beyond the Sabine river. In case of their refusing to comply, you are to treat them agreeably to the orders of the secretary of war, (a certified extract of which accompanies these instructions,) as far as relates to the pursuit, capture, and detention of invaders or aggressors; and avoiding the spilling of blood, but when these orders cannot otherwise be executed. You are to patrol, if practicable, the country between this and Sabine, be on your guard against surprise, and communicate to me, by express, from time to time, any occurrence worthy of note.

Adais, February 6, 1806.
Sir,
After a tedious march we arrived in front of the Spanish post yesterday morning, about half past eleven o'clock. Found the Dons in some confusion, in consequence of their patrol having discovered us an hour before, (owing to our pilot bringing us in sight of the road.) I took a position, which would have carried their camp, if there had been ten times their number, which was twenty. They saddled, mounted, and formed. At the bayon Le Glesse, their patrol, or picket, halted our van guard, and demanded the reason we were violating, or invading his majesty's territory, and requested him to withdraw, with his guard inside his camp, where I would presently be and inform his officer of my business. He implicitly obeyed. Upon my arrival at my position, I sent Mr. Duforest to tell the officer I wished a conference. Mr. Duforest was informed, in consequence of some information the corporal of the advanced guard had given, the officer had gone down the road to meet me. I waited sometime his return, but not seeing him, I suspected he had purposely put himself out of the way to gain time. I, therefore, after sending another message to the camp, formed by men, and marched through a thicket within forty yards, where I halted, and told the non-commissioned officer commanding, that I should wait 15 minutes for his officer, provided he made
no movements in the interim. The officer soon after appeared, when I delivered him my commands. He readily agreed to abandon his position, but said he could go no further than a creek, San Jose. After a good deal of altercation, he consented to move to the other side Sabine, and I gave him three hours to prepare to march. He begged I would not insist upon his crossing the Sabine within five days, alledging that in the miserable condition of his horses, it would be impossible, without losing them, and requested that he might be allowed to look up some that were missing. I replied, that after reaching the other side Sabine, he might send in two or three of his men, without arms, to hunt them; and that he must get them as soon as possible. He replied he would, but it would necessarily take him four or five days. This morning I commenced my march for La Tran, and fell in with him in three miles. I signifying my surprise at his being no further, he made the old excuse of the impossibility of his horses to travel faster, and observed that he had been detained in trying to find some of his horses, two of which he had got, and four were missing. Not thinking it proper to rely exactly again on his word, after falling in with him, I made him subscribe to the enclosed terms, (which I hope may meet your approbation), and shall follow his footsteps till my provisions are out.
Respectfully, yours,
(Signed)

And I also oblige myself not to send any patrols on this side the river Sabines.

Extract of a Letter from major Porter to the secretary of war, dated, Natchitoches, Feb. 8th, 1806.
Sir, Your letter of the twentieth of November, was received on the twenty-fourth ultimo, and the request therein mentioned, was without loss time, forwarded to the commandant of Nacogdoches: from whom I received on the fourth instant, an answer, in which he refused to give the assurance required.
Deeming this reply decisive, I immediately detached captain Turner, with sixty men, to remove a party of Spaniards that had a few days before passed and taken post on this side of the Adais; and to patrol the country between this post and the River Sabine. The former he easily accomplished, and is now performing the latter.
The report of preparations making by our Spanish neighbors for war, are various; but generally agree, that a considerable number of troops are progressing from the interior to the eastward: that near three hundred of them were, a few weeks since, at the great crossing of the Trinity, where there were near two hundred beehives, five hundred horses, and a considerable magazine of flour.
That they have ten guns mounting at Nacogdoches, where most of them have been lately received; and that immediately after lieutenant Platt, the bearer of my letter to the commandant at Nacogdoches, left that place on his return a Spanish officer was dispatched to Bayou aux Pierre, to impress on the minds of the inhabitants of that settlement, the allegiance that they owed to his catholic majesty; ordered them to join his standard whenever required; and informed them that the Red river would be the boundary line between the Spanish country and the United States.
BY virtue of a deed of trust, from Thomasen Elzey to the subscriber, for the purpose of securing a debt due from said Elzey to Daniel M'Carthy Chichester, will be exposed to public sale, on that part of the premises now in the tenure of Mr. John Barnes, on SATURDAY the 26th day of April next, at 12 o'clock.

FROM THE BALTIMORE FEDERAL GAZETTE.
The war on the European continent has after an unparalleled & brilliant campaign for France, been ended, or at least suspended, and the bloody scenes which have transpired, from the fall of Ulm to the battle of Austerlitz, have passed in review before our readers. As their knowledge of these memorable events have been exclusively derived from French bulletins, tricked out in all the embellishments of romance, where truth and fiction were at the moment almost inseparably commixed together, it now remains for us, as faithful and impartial editors, to shew our readers the causes which conducd to the unexampled victories of the French arms on the one hand, and the misfortunes & overthrow of the house of Austria on the other. It will appear from the treaties between the courts of England, Russia, Austria and Sweden, that their combination was either to intimidate or force France, into some thing like a respect for the minor States whom she was rapidly swallowing into the vortex of her power, and to restrict her to such a line of conduct as would preserve a balance in Europe. Should these objects not be gained by negotiation, the confederates were to act at the same time, but in different points, with an effective force of 500,000 men; 180 thousand of whom were to be furnished by Russia, the residue principally by Austria, and to be in the field by the 1st of October. Intimidation did not succeed against Bonaparte, who appears to have been perfectly apprised of the object, scope and weight of the confederacy; force was resorted to—war was declared; and what the issue has been, the American reader is already apprised of. How these victories were obtained, which, from the French army presses, have a tendency to make the French appear more than mortal, or all the rest of the world less, is the present question. If in the solving of it, it should be proved, that there was nothing either supernatural or surprising in their victories; if French valour should turn out to be less a bug bear than the world been disposed to make it; we have acquitted ourselves to our countrymen, who may have, at no distant day, to encounter the necessity of measuring bayonets with perhaps some of the Heroes of Austerlitz. We commence with lord Mulgrave's motion in the House of lords and the dispatches from Sir A. Paget to his court.
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS,
Tuesday, February 14.
Lord Mulgrave (the house having been resumed) moved the order of the day, that the lords be summoned, which being read, his lordship stated that he had made the motion for the purpose of ensuring a full attendance. He was sorry that it had not been attended with better effect; for the few observations which he thought it his duty to offer to the house, would in his opinion tend to facilitate the discussion that must shortly take place, on the papers which he had laid by his majesty's command, on their lordship's table a few days ago. As the attendance was not so numerous as he expected, he would not, on the present occasion, take up much of their lordships time. The treaties which he had laid on the table were now in possession of their lordships, and they were competent to judge, whether they deserved the harsh epithets which had been applied to them out of doors. The principal, indeed almost the sole object, for which his majesty's government concluded these treaties, was to endeavor to re-establish the security and independence of the continent. The best mode of effecting that, they conceived to be by negotiation—an armed negotiation certainly; and if that failed, by having recourse to arms to enforce it. For this great purpose a force of 500,000 men was to be in readiness, 320,000 of which were to be Austrians, and 180,000 Russians. To restore the independence of the continent, his majesty was prepared to make great sacrifices. He wished to be included in the negotiation if possible; but if that could not be done, he consented, and recommended, that the negotiations should proceed without him. It is almost unnecessary, in the present stage, to refer to the circumstances which render negotiation impracticable. It was produced in the first instance by the annexation of Genoa, and next by the firm persuasion of the part on Austria, that nothing but an appeal to arms could avert the fate that impended over her. He would this evening proceed to lay additional papers before the house, necessary to elucidate the general question upon the conduct of his majesty's ministers in that transaction. He would briefly advert to those points which they tended to explain. When it was foreseen that nothing short of an armed negotiation was likely to meet with attention from France, it naturally became a subject of consideration, how a force was to be collected sufficient to oppose any rapid movement on the part of that power. Austria herself prepared the plan of operations; it was communicated to and met with

approbation of the court of Petersburg, was finally concurred in by this council. By this plan the operations were to have been defensive on the side of Germany, and offensive in another quarter. It was one of the stipulations in it was, that the Russians should be at a particular point the only point at which the Austrians, could be attacked, on a certain day, they were there two days before the time. It would be superfluous for him now to examine, at any length into the unfortunate events of the last three months of the year which had expired. If he were to trace the causes of them he would attribute them principally if not solely to the deviation from the plan of operations which had been originally laid down. This deviation adopted probably, from what seemed to be very sufficient reasons, was never communicated to Russia, never communicated to this country, but put into execution without the consent or concurrence of either of these powers. The consequence of it was known and felt by all Europe. It terminated in the subjugation of one of the greatest powers on the continent, and in the reduction of the South of Europe to the deplorable state in which it was by this time most probably placed. He would not inquire whether the emperor of Austria manifested sufficient firmness after the unfortunate battle of Austerlitz, or whether any means remained to him of resisting the hard conditions produced by the issue of that fatal day. These points must become the subject of discussion, when the conduct of ministers should come to be considered. He wished to speak with all requisite tenderness and respect of the conduct of that prince. He could not but remember, that he had made great sacrifices; that he had abandoned his capital; that he had exposed himself in battle. He could not help recollecting that on former occasions he had proved most steady to his engagements, even at the hazard of his dearest interests. Persons who deliberated at a distance might not, perhaps, consider circumstances in the same light that they who viewed them near-er might have it necessary to do. There might have been imperious reasons to induce the emperor of Austria to adopt the line of conduct he pursued. It was not to inculpate him or those who advised him, that his majesty's ministers brought forward the papers on the table, but to exonerate themselves from the charges of having contributed in the smallest degree to the disasters on the continent, of having precipitated Austria into the war, and to clear the character and assert the honor of the country. He owed it to his own character as having been implicated in those measures during the last twelve months; he owed it to the reputation of those who had formed a part of the administration with him; he owed it to the memory of his lamented friend, to that great man whose influence was felt in all the councils to which this last transaction of his life was submitted; to challenge and solicit the amplest discussion of the conduct and prudence of that alliance and concert which at the outset promised the most important benefits to the continent of Europe. There were chasms in the correspondence which he would now lay on the table, as well as in the supplementary article which he before presented, but it would be for his successors to judge of the propriety of producing them. His lordship then laid a considerable volume of papers on the table, consisting of extracts from dispatches from lord Leveson Gower and sir A. Paget, to lord Mulgrave, correspondence of M. Woronzow, returns of the Austrian army, declarations and proclamations of the emperor of Germany, &c. &c. &c.  (To be continued.)

[Mercantile Advertiser.]  We are indebted to captain Hanford, who arrived yesterday from Aux-Cayes, for the following Decree of Dessalines, regulating the freight of neutral vessels in the ports of Hayti:
(New York Paper.)  DECREE.  Article 1. Whenever an owner, captain or supercargo, of a neutral vessel shall arrive in one of the ports of Hayti, the merchant to whom he shall be consigned, or the administration, when it shall treat directly with the said owners, captains or supercargoes, shall cause the said vessel to be laden, as far as possible, with coffee, sugar, cotton, indigo and cocoa.  2.

The said owners, captains or supercargoes shall not, under any pretext, refuse cargoes, provided for them in pursuance of the preceding articles, when it shall be proved that they have received one third in coffee.  4. The present decree shall be read, published and affixed, wherever it shall be necessary, and the execution of it specially committed to the Minister of the Finances, under the personal responsibility of the Administrators of division.  Made and given in our Imperial palace of Dessalines, the 10th Jan. 1806, 3d year of independence, and the first of our reign.  (Signed) DESSALINES. By the Emperor (Signed) JUSTE CHANLATTE.
The markets at Martinique were very low, on the 6th Feb; all vessels under Swedish colours were ordered to leave the port in 24 hours.
FOREIGN.  The subsequent account of the treaties with, and subsidies to, the coalesced powers, is from the True Briton , of Feb. 12.  "The original treaty of concert between the King and Emperor of Russia was signed at Petersburg on the 11th of April last year. In this treaty the objects of the league are stated with distinction and precision. They were the evacuation of Hanover and the north of Germany, the re-establishment of the independence of Holland and Switzerland, the re-establishment of the king of Sardinia, the security of the kingdom of Naples, and the complete evacuation of Italy, including the Island of Elba, by the French forces, and, finally, the establishment of such an order of things in Europe as might effectually guarantee the security and independence of the different states, and prevent a solid barrier against future usurpations. They formally and solemnly disavowed all intention of controlling the public opinion in France, or in any other countries where the combined armies might carry on their operation, or of appropriating to themselves any conquest that might be made before the termination of the war, when a general congress was to be assembled for the purpose of re-establishing the affairs of Europe on a sure and permanent basis. The other powers were to be invited to join the league, on the condition that none of the parties were to make a separate peace without the consent of all the powers concerned in it. The
Emperor of Russia was to send, as soon as possible, two armies, one of 60,000 men to the frontiers of Prussia, and another of 80,000 to the frontiers of Austria, to support these powers in case of their being attacked by France, who might suspect them of negotiations unfriendly to their views. And both his Imperial and Britannic Majesty, on the other hand engaged to make a common cause against every power, which either by the employment of its force or to intimate an union with France, might pretend to raise obstacles to the development of the measures which might be necessary to obtain the objects concerted upon.  It appears, that before direct negotiations were entered upon with Sweden & Austria, the accession of these two powers were negotiated with lord L. Gower by the Russian Ministry; and it is not till the 9th of August that any direct communications are made upon the subject by the Austrian to the British Ambassador, from which time Austria became a party in the Treaty.  Sweden may be considered as having finally acceded to it on the 3d of October; for the conventions of the 31st of August, and of the 3d of December of the foregoing year, related merely to the defence of Stralsund.
Such were the objects of members of the league. It remains to be seen what were the means on which they counted for the attainment of these objects. In the original treaty conceit of it is proposed, that a force should be collected of 50,000 men, independent of the British troops. Towards raising this force Great Britain was to pay to the powers which might contribute the different forces in the form of subsidies in the ratio of 1,150,000. a year for every 100,000 men, which was about 12l. 10s. a year for each man. The subsidy was to date, with Russia, from the time her troops passed the confines, and with Austria, from the 1st of Oct. and was to be continued till end of the war, or till the troops returned home. The subsidies were to be paid by the monthly instalments; but three months subsidy was to be paid in advance to Russia, and five months subsidy in advance to Austria, as a premiere mis en campagne , and five months subsidy was likewise to be advanced to Sweden. Had the whole force, therefore, of 500,000 men been raised our annual subsidies would have amounted to 6,250,000. a large sum certainly; but if we consider the amount of the effective force which it was to produce, it will be found to be by far the most economical mode of carrying on the war that could have been adopted. Government are at this moment paying, we believe, 21l. a man a bounty-money to recruits, so that had it been possible to have collected an equal force in this country, which it certainly is not, the bounty-money alone would have amounted to 10,500,000. without counting their pay, subsistence, accoutrements, and the whole expence of their equipment. The economy of the arrangement will be further obvious if it be compared with the army estimates laid before the house of commons by the secretary at war last Friday, in which the expence of the pay and subsistence of 134,473 men is estimated at 1,193,105l. for three months only, which makes their expence for the year to amount to 4,472,420: whereas the same force on the continent, when raised by subsidies, would only have cost about 1,700,000.
Though 500,000 men was the force which it was proposed to collect, it appears by one of the separate articles, that the treaty was to be acted upon as soon as they could bring 400,000 men into the field; of which Austria was to furnish 250,000, Russia not less than 115,000, and the remainder was to be made up of Hanoverians, Neapolitans, &c. And for these numbers we may suppose that there has been paid to Austria five months subsidy, which would amount to somewhat more than 130,000l.; and to Russia there must have been paid, we should think, at least four months subsidy, which, on her proportion of the force, would amount to about 350,000l. Besides this, 100,000l. has been paid to the king of Sweden for the fortification of Stralsund; and 12,000 Swedish troops are to remain in the pay of this country till three months after the peace. We should not suppose that the whole sum already remitted can amount to two millions sterling, but it cannot fall much short of it.

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

John Hoover, rope maker, South Second street, between Mary and Christian streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely,
That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or fulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary a particular excellence of this it contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body, but will, without pain or griping, expel the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Which is so effectual, that its effects are speedy and permanent, restoring the skin delicately fair and clear, improving the complexion, and restoring the bloom of youth. Never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and an handsome one more so.
The Restorative Powder for the Teeth and Gums. This excellent preparation comforts & strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, by absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffer to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tares or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with townness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting, and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES— By Hamilton's
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repelled with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
