CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. BRITISH AFFAIRS.
DEBATE
In committee of the whole on the state of the union—Mr. F. C. Smith in the chair—on the resolution offered by Mr. Gregg.
[CONTINUED.]
Mr. N. Williams. The subject now under consideration calls for a display of all the knowledge and experience of commercial men and statesmen: And although I do not profess to be of either class, yet if I should chance to bestow a mite of information, upon a subject of such vast importance to this country, it will no doubt be favorably received by this honorable committee.
The resolution now under discussion, has for its principal object the protection of the active commerce of our country: It therefore becomes us perhaps before we enter into the merits of the measure proposed, to inquire whether commerce is of itself so important to us as to demand our protection.
This first inquiry might seem unnecessary, and even extraordinary had we not witnessed so recently upon this floor the very light and trivial manner in which the commerce of this country has been treated and had we not heard the very strange opinion, that it ought to be left to take care of itself.
It is possible that the agricultural class, which embraces a very great and respectable part of the population, of our country, will look for some evidence of the benefits to be derived to them from the protected enterprise of our merchants. Those benefits however are so obvious to an attentive observer, that very little need be urged to render them apparent.—It has been justly said that agriculture and commerce, are handmaids to each other. Indeed their interest are strongly and durably interwoven—Commerce has a direct tendency the world the best markets for our articles of export, and by bringing back and scattering through the country, that circulating medium, which cherishes industry and sweetens the toils of the laborer. If we had not an active commerce among our own citizens it is evident that foreign merchants and nations only, would be enriched by the profits of our agriculture, would convert us into mere diggers of the soil for their benefit, and would thereby gain the means of insulting and degrading us more abundantly. The price of our produce will lessen in the proportion that we curtail the means of transporting it to the best foreign markets, and the means will assuredly be curtailed if we withdraw our protection from the enterprise of our citizens upon the ocean. Declare to foreign nations that the active commerce of this country meets no longer the fostering care of government, and you will soon hear of their tenfold insolence upon the seas; and our vessels forwarded from the enjoyment of their rights there, will find an asylum in our harbors only, where they will be left to rot. The produce of our country must share a similar fate, unless we consent to dispose of it to foreign merchants and speculators, at any price they may please to offer for it. But what is not less important, if we have a regard for morals and happiness, a horrid picture here presents itself; that moment you stagnate the vent of your grain, an extensive inland country will be inundated with whiskey and the destructive vices which flow from the free use of it.
Although important, this is far from being the most important view which may be taken of this subject. It is a conceded point, that our government must by some means or other have revenue. The greatest statesmen and patriots of this country, have united, I believe, in considering commerce as our most natural and most fruitful source of revenue and riches. It presents a mode of fiscal exaction, the most in unison with the spirit and feelings as well as the interests of the American people, that of indirect taxation. By this mode the consumers of articles of foreign growth or manufacture, contribute freely and copiously to the support of our government, and to that fund which is destined to the payment of the national debt, and this too without feeling in a great degree the weight of the contribution. But the moment we give up this source of revenue, or ex-
pose it to the cupidity and rapacity of foreign powers a resort to modes of taxation less congenial with the spirit of freedom must be inevitable. Let those who are for giving up this, look about and see what other sources of revenue our country can furnish. Experience, that mother of wisdom, has already instructed us, that excise laws are too odious in many parts of our country, to be borne; indeed this source of revenue would at best be trifling. Personal property is of a nature too occult and too liable to shift and change to become a safe and permanent source of revenue. The sale of the public lands, relied on by some, is an expedient, which on many accounts will be slow & inefficient; but if the sentiment prevails of leaving commerce to take care of itself, and my notions are correct that such a measure will paralyze the industry of the farmer, it may very justly be doubted, whether our wild lands will meet with a ready market. What then, I would ask, remains, but a land tax, to supply a fund to meet the necessary calls of our government; a tax so odious in many parts of our country, as to be one of the powerful causes of the overthrow of one administration, and if again resorted to, may possibly prove the destruction of another.
Should considerations like these, thoroughly pursued, prove insufficient to convince gentlemen, that the commerce of this country is worthy to be shielded by her protecting arm, I may despair of doing it perhaps, by any further arguments it may be in my power to adduce. But it is certainly deserving the remembrance of this honorable body, that our government, by the course it has taken, has long since pledged itself to support the rights and interests of our merchants upon the ocean. Aside from the immense revenues drawn from their enterprise and industry, we may consider the measures alone, adopted by our government to protect and guarantee their interest, by compacts with foreign nations and armaments for their defence, as having the direct effect of luring them to embark their property upon the seas with the most implicit security, and with almost a certain assurance that this protection should be continued. In short, I do not see how it can be denied that these privileges are entitled to the protection of more sacred, which are enjoyed by our fellow citizens upon land. To relinquish any of them would be taking a step towards a dastardly abandonment of our independence as a nation; and would be announcing to every people on earth, that we have become so tame and submissive that we are willing to be converted into simple tools and instruments for their use and profit, and to desert the defence of our own sacred rights. Whatever course policy or wisdom might have dictated to this nation a priori respecting commerce, it is evidently too late now to retrace our steps—nay, we cannot do it, short of treachery towards the mercantile interest, and without rendering ourselves a subject of derision and contempt to all Europe. If we shrink on the present occasion from that bold and energetic course which the times seem to call for, what a respectable figure we shall cut in history! This will be our story. 'The American nation finding her commerce in the Mediterranean pestered by the petty barbarous powers surrounding that sea, blustered and talked manfully like Bobadil in the play. Now this hero was invincible, or he would not have talked so valiantly. "Twenty more, kill 'em! Twenty more, kill them too!" But the moment their rights upon the ocean were assailed by a nation at once respectable and powerful, they meanly shrunk from the contest, and in vain did their admired executive endeavor to rally the representatives of the people, in support of the firm and dignified measures which he recommended.'
If therefore it is clear, as I trust it is, that commerce is the great supporter of agriculture, that it is at the same time the most rational and most prolific source of revenue and riches to our country, and if in addition to this, government has pledged itself to a vast body of respectable citizens in every part of the United States, to protect their property legally employed in commerce; to say that this commerce shall now be left to take care of itself, of all the insulting mockeries ever offered to this nation, this appears to me the most insulting. But with many, and I do not suffer myself to doubt, with a great majority of this committee, this question may be considered as at rest: commerce is worthy of our protection. Our natural situation and the laudable enterprise of our citizens, which leads them into every sea and to every land, have made it ours, and
we cannot abandon it without being guilty of the most palpable folly.
Should any gentleman here really believe, notwithstanding the volumes of evidence which have loaded our tables to the contrary, that our commercial rights have not been injured or insulted by the British nation, I confess I should feel myself at a loss how to address him. If he will discredit what all our merchants, all our statesmen, and all our writers upon the law of nations declare to be true, I should consider him as irrecoverably lost in the regions of doubts, where I should be disposed to leave him in the undisturbed enjoyment of his own gloomy imagination. Indeed so clear does this subject appear to me, that I fear it will be wasting time even to state a grievance so well known to all. G. Britain has for many years stiled herself mistress of the ocean. And in truth it cannot be denied that she has erected upon that element a colossus of power which overlooks and would overawe all the nations of the globe. 'Rule Britannia' is an old song of her singing; and I have somewhere read that the ballads of a nation go far to portray, if not to form the spirit and propensities of a people. Consequently jealous of every other commercial nation this haughty queen would naturally endeavour to suppress the rapid and lofty soarings of the American Eagle. This jealousy has of course given rise to those principles which she attempts to interpolate into the laws of nations, and of which we now complain; such as; That a trade opened to neutrals by a nation at war, on account of the war is unlawful: That a vessel on her return voyage is liable to capture on account of having carried on her outward voyage, contraband articles to an enemy's port. To these may be added the right which she daringly assumes and cruelly executes, of impressing persons from American bottoms, sailing under the American flag upon the high seas—and other principles not less important though totally destitute of any legal or equitable foundation, and against which this nation ought to lift up her hands to heaven by way of solemn protest. And what is alarming to all reflecting men is, that the courts of Great Britain which have hitherto stood high in the estimation of all civilised nations for integrity, and for legal and political knowledge to attempt to weave a servile e of nations ann principles which have been recommended by that government as favourable to her interests. Now it appears to me sir, that the question is not so much whether we shall surrender to that nation those particular branches of the carrying trade, which have given rise to our disputes with her, or whether we shall be allowed to retain any free commerce upon the ocean at all. For all must see that although that nation is slow and cautious in its progress to absolute maritime sovereignty, yet her strides are firm and determined; and nothing is more certain than this, that whatever rights we resign with tame submission are gone forever. It is alarming to hear it said, and it has been said on this floor with a kind of triumph—What! shall we quarrel with a powerful nation for so trifling an object as the carrying trade? Such blindness to me is astonishing. That nation and her courts have not till lately insisted with any hope of establishing, upon principles now contended for. It is now an experiment only—She will either advance or recede according to the spirit with which we meet her usurpations—This is only one step in the ladder, and this ladder reaches round the globe. A nation which makes convenience and power the only rule of right and justice, will find no end to her pretensions.—To-day she finds it convenient to prohibit our carrying the surplus colonial produce in our markets to foreign countries: to-morrow she will find it convenient to prohibit the carriage of our own produce in our own bottoms, to foreign markets; and she always has power to enforce the dictates of her convenience. No sir, I would not surrender one single right which our interest and honor call upon us to defend: & more especially if by receding one step, we jeopardize all the fair features of our commerce, let us boldly contend for every vestige.
This I hope and trust we shall attempt to do, by every means which God and nature have so abundantly placed in our power. Means, which if applied with firmness and energy, will doubtless produce the desired effect. But what are these means is the question. The propositions now under consideration, or something similar in principle, meets, I am told, the approbation of our greatest and wisest statesmen. Those in this house who will take a calm
survey of our situation, I am strong in the belief, will also approve this measure, or one not much unlike it. The wisdom and penetration of the British cabinet will soon perceive, that such a measure, if adopted, is calculated to raise up among them at home and in the West Indies, a host of hungry and clamorous advocates for our rights, and they will soon see the policy, if not the necessity, of treating us with justice. But without taking some step which discovers firmness and decision on our part, I would ask what privilege we can expect to preserve, except that alone which is seldom denied to the weak and contemptible, the privilege of being plundered and insulted without reserve. To talk of offensive war is unnecessary, it is childish. The weapons within our reach are not at present warlike, though capable of wounding deeply. Some however are of opinion that this measure will lead to war. I think differently. It will in my opinion preserve peace and our commerce at the same time. We have a right surely to say to any nation that injures and offends us, that we will stop all intercourse with her, until she consents to do us justice.
But this project is to lead to measures of defence, and to a loss of revenue!—This in a degree is true. And with those who weigh national rights and honor in the same scale with dollars and cents, this may prove an insurmountable objection. But I have calculated, that our ports and harbors will not be left in their present exposed situation, even though this measure should not be adopted. I do hope at any rate that we shall find patriotism enough here to preserve us from this national disgrace. As to a loss of revenue, it will be but temporary. But our economical system forbids even this loss! Shall we suffer ourselves to be seduced by this plausible and popular, this sacred word, economy? I love economy as much as any body. But let us remember the object of this measure. Shall we, for fear of losing a few millions of dollars devoted to the sinking fund, jeopardize that sinking fund itself? Those who are solicitous, and none can be more solicitous than myself, to pay the national debt, will prove themselves willing, I hope, to pursue the means, and the only rational means of doing it. Let economy be embraced as far as it can be, in consonance with honor and safety. This is true economy. Another sort may be pronounced dangerous.
I do not pretend to have entered into a detailed account of the loss or gain of revenue, which will follow the adoption of this measure. It would be difficult to do it with accuracy, and viewing the subject as I have done, it is unnecessary. It is sufficient for me to know that the loss will be but temporary, and such as we can bear, and that the gain will be durable and honorable to our country. With respect to the various resolutions laid upon our tables relative to this subject, I have some difficulty in deciding which I would prefer. Those which affect specific articles, by laying a duty upon them, are not clear of difficulties. You cannot make a selection without materially affecting certain sections of the union. The resolution now under discussion cuts deep, but I think it deserves a preference.
It is unfortunate, sir, that any gentleman upon this floor should attempt to raise up difficulties among our citizens, or to hold up to the view of the community a class of men so numerous and respectable as that of our merchants. If mercantile men are avaricious, agricultural gentlemen, I take it, are not totally destitute of avariciousness. They both labour no doubt, to preserve their profits, and the honorable gentleman from Virginia himself told us the other day, that he had not yet sold his tobacco.
Mr. Masters. I shall not deny that Great Britain has insulted us by impressing our seamen; neither shall I deny, that that nation has committed wanton aggressions and depredations on our commerce, & that commerce ought to be protected. That the resolution under consideration, is the best course to be pursued for the interest of the nation, I shall contend against.
Restraints and prohibitions between nations have always arisen from two circumstances, the first to promote their own industry or manufactures. The liberal price of wages, joined with the plenty and cheapness of land, which induces the labourer to quit his employer and become planter or farmer himself, who rewards with the same liberality which induces his labourers to leave their employment for the same reason at first; therefore it is impossible for manufacturing to flourish in this country in our present situation.
The case in most other countries is very different, where the price of labor is low, and the rent and the profit consumes the wages of the laborer, and the higher order of people oppress the inferior, which I hope never to see in this country.
It may rationally be calculated that from the eastern and middle states will eventually become manufacturing states; some of those that

...nearly filled with people, and many individuals have large capitals employed in foreign commerce, to the amount in many instances of two and three hundred thousand dollars cash. — When peace takes place in Europe, and things return to their natural standard, and they no longer employ that capital to advantage in commercial speculations; they will withdraw some from that employment; they must make some of those capitals some where; they cannot let them to any advantage in our public funds, stock or other corporations beyond a certain point; they therefore, by the aid of water works and machinery, will naturally employ those capitals in manufactures, and I trust the time is not many years distant. That is not now the case, and can have no bearing on the present question; indeed it is hardly contended that the resolution is brought forward for that purpose, it must therefore be brought forward for some other purpose.
(To be continued.)
SPANISH AFFAIRS.
Saturday, April 5.
DEBATE
On the motion of Mr. J. Randolph to amend the secret journal, by inserting in it the message of the President of the 6th Decem- ber.
Mr. J. Randolph. I rise to execute the purpose which I intimated yesterday. On the first page of this journal [holding in his hand the journal of secret proceedings of the house] I find it stated that the speaker read before the house a letter and communication from the President of the United States which were read, that they were referred to a select committee, and I find that then follows the report of that committee without any notice of the message of the President on which it was grounded. This I take to be a departure from the regular system of keeping the journal; because I perceive in other parts of it messages, though of a private nature, accompanying other communications, inserted. I deem it not less important to the character of those who compose the select committee, of which I had the honor to be one, than to the character of the government of the U. States, that a full and fair view should be given to the public of the conduct of the government on the one hand, and of the legislature on the other. I beg pardon for using the phrase government, by government I meant the executive department. I shall feel it incumbent on me, in order to impress on the house, the sense I entertain of the importance of this motion, to enter into some little history of the transactions which have taken place with closed doors, in which, though I may not undertake to say what the message of the President contains, I shall feel myself at liberty, according to the course pursued here, to say what it does not contain.
It is true that on the 6th of December that message was referred to a select committee. That committee met, and one of the members, a gentleman from Massachusetts, whom I do not now see in his place, as soon as the committee met proposed that they should recommend to the house the making an appropriation of money to enable the executive to negotiate abroad. I understood, though it may not have been so expressed, that the object was the purchase of the Floridas. There was a great variety of sentiment in the committee, and other gentlemen of the committee, of whom I was one, objected, that in the confidential message of the President, there was not a syllable about the purchase of the Floridas, or an appropriation of money for foreign negotiation, that there was not a word in it to induce us to believe that Spain was willing to make the sale or to come to an amiable adjustment of differences with us; but that on the contrary, a direct and opposite inference could only be drawn from its contents.
On coming to town, and conversing with gentlemen of this house, I was apprized of the existence of a project for the purchase of the Floridas from Spain; and I was prepared to have considered any expressions in the executive message as having this meaning, which could at all warrant it. There was such a difference of opinion in the committee that they came to no direct conclusion. Circumstances of an imperious nature called me to Baltimore; where I staid, I think, six days. On my return on Saturday, I found, from the information of a gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Nicholson) that there had been considerable excitement in consequence of the committee not reporting. Without even changing my clothes or going to my lodgings, I immediately met the committee, and it was agreed to write to
the secretary of war, and learn from him the number of troops necessary to protect the southern frontier from Spanish inroad and insults. But although in the public message of the president at the opening of the session, we heard much of Spanish outrages and insults, and though the private message held a language in consonance with the public, I found a backwardness in the head of the war department, and generally of the executive government on taking a decided attitude as to Spain; and I found what was worse before I left town to go to Baltimore, from a conversation with what has been considered the head of the first executive department under the government, that France was the great obstacle to the compromise of Spanish differences; that France would not permit Spain to come to any accommodation with us, because France wanted money, and that we must give her money. From the moment I heard that declaration, all the objections I originally had to the procedure were aggravated to the highest possible degree. I considered it a base prostration of the national character, to excite one nation by money to bully another nation out of its property, and from that moment to the last moment of my life my confidence in the principles of the man entertaining those sentiments died, never to live again. Well, sir, during my absence in Baltimore, the dispatches contained in the message of the 17th of January arrived. This I shall have occasion to mention again. The house began to act on the subject of our foreign relations. Gentlemen who in select committee had declared they considered the executive message as a requisition to buy the Floridas, though there was not a word in it about the Floridas or about money, took a different ground in the house. They said that tho' the executive did not recommend to congress to purchase the country, yet that they were adequate to give the business this direction; that if they chose, they were at liberty to do it. But unfortunately for this new doctrine, and the previous one broached, and unfortunately for the whole system, gentlemen stopped forward to enforce, one gentleman asserted that he was ready in his own person to vouch that the course in question was in consonance with the secret wishes of the executive; and this is one of those reasons which calls most imperiously for the motion which I am about to make. What was afterwards done the house will perceive. I pass over the motion made to restrict the purchase to the country not in dispute with Spain, & to exclude from that purchase the country in dispute thereby testing the principle, whether we are actually buying land or peace. In spite of every obstacle — of all opposition and the contradictory votes given, the bill was sent to the senate, and on the next day the 17th of January, after the business was out of our possession, we received dispatches from our minister at London, which had arrived before Christmas. It will be recollected that it was attempted to be insinuated by individual members, that in as much as we received the original paper and not a copy the dispatches had just arrived, and there had not been time for transcribing them. But in returning from the house I was so well convinced to the contrary, for I had myself received letters from London of a contemporaneous date, that I made inquiry of the secretary of state, and was told that they had been received the week before Christmas, at the same time with my letters.
While I am up I will undertake to rectify a trivial inaccuracy, for I wish every thing which I state on this floor to be literally exact, which on some former occasion escaped me. I said that the existence of these dispatches was unknown to a high cabinet minister; although it is certain that I so understood, it is no less so that I was mistaken. But though their existence was not yet, unknown, their contents were. That minister had no reason to believe that they contained, on the contrary he had every reason to believe that they did not contain, any thing relative to our differences with Spain; and as to their being sent to the house, he knew nothing of it till after they had been received. They were no sooner opened here than they excited an instantaneous sensation, and produced a declaration that the course we had taken was wrong; they produced also an impression that it would be in vain on the subject of our differences with England to assume a manly attitude towards her, if we became the panders and caterers of the lustful appetite of France.
The question is now reduced to this point; whether the public shall read the secret journal without understanding one word about it, or shall read intelligibly. For it is impossible to decide how far the report of the select committee is con-
sistent with the message of the President, unless that message is also published. A difficulty may be raised, by saying this is a confidential message. But this is got over by the publicity given to the proceedings on it. It was confidential, because the proceedings on it were so. For instance; let us suppose that the United States were preparing for some strong and decisive measure against Spain which it was politic to conceal from her till taken; but as to any thing decisive in the message, no man can contend that it contains any thing of this nature. When I speak of the message, I do not allude to the communications of the minister of the United States with the authorized agents of Spain. Though I see no reason why even those should not be published, as the negotiation has been entirely closed by the abortion in which it has terminated. I however restrict my present motion to the message.
The public, from this vague and desultory sketch, may acquire some principles by which to appreciate the conduct of members in this House. They will see what members were disposed to have adopted that course which the most authentic information from Europe recommended. They will see who were disposed to acting through the intervention of any foreign power, and more especially in the shape of a bribe, and when such a course was not asked for by the Executive. They will see who were these members; and I believe there are now but few who would be willing to take the responsibility on themselves which properly belonged to another department of the government; and to do all the dirty work, which would have otherwise soiled their fingers. They will see and beware.
Mr. J. Randolph concluded by moving that the message of the President of the 6th of December last be printed; that it be inserted in the journal of the secret proceedings; and that a resolution of that journal should be printed for the use of the members.
[To be continued]
WASHINGTON CITY, April 9. THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES were on Monday almost exclusively occupied in discussing Mr. J. Randolph's motion to print the message of the president of the 6th of December, which was the basis of the measures taken relative to Spain.
At an early hour of the day when this subject was called up, Mr. Blackledge moved that the galleries should be cleared. The House concurred in secret sitting for a short time, when the doors were opened and the question taken by Yeas and Nays, on the point of order, whether the decision of the Speaker was correct, viz.
"That the said message being contained in the journal of the secret proceedings of the House, as the same had been read in the House, it was now in order to call for the reading of the said message."
Yeas 43; Nays 59.
The question then recurred on the motion made by Mr. J. Randolph on Saturday, as follows: "That the printed supplemental journal of secret proceedings be amended, by inserting after the word "read" in the third line of the full page, the message of the President of the United States of the 6th of December last, and that a new edition of the said journal, thus amended, be printed for the use of the members."
On this motion a very interesting debate ensued, in which a pretty full view was taken by the different speakers of the arguments urged in secret debate. Messrs. J. Randolph, Duna, J. Clay, Eppes, and Kelly supported, and Messrs. Sloan, Findley, Elk, G. W. Campbell and Jackson opposed the motion. As we shall give this debate, with the utmost dispatch, we shall not at present attempt even an outline of it.
About 5 o'clock the Yeas and Nays were taken on the motion, which was disagreed to; Yeas 44; Nays 74.
On TUESDAY, a motion was made by Mr. J. Randolph, to print the letter addressed to, and the report received from, the Secretary of War, which is referred to in the report of the select committee on Spanish affairs; which was disagreed to; Ayes 43.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
THURSDAY, April 10.
The foolish and absurd conduct of a large majority of the members of the Virginia legislature, at their last session, in declaring to the world their "confidence in the wisdom, virtue and firmness of the President of the United States," is becoming daily more and more apparent.
Setting altogether aside the many, it is to be feared, well grounded accusations preferred against that perfunctory, several years ago, and which unfortunately have not been reduced, in a satisfactory manner, either by himself or his admirers; recent transactions have brought to light such a scene of arrogance, weakness and duplicity in the "cabinet," or "no cabinet," of which he is the primum mobile , — the mammoth by whose tail the political squirrels in court favor ascend to the summit of their wishes, and from thence view the boundaries of the newly acquired "land of promise," — that every honest man of far sight must, at least, doubt whether these characteristics belong to him.
The wavering, unstable federalists who recently by "for a morsel of pottage" sold their birthrights, and bellowed out his praise, greatly doubt.
The poor, despicable, time-serving trimmers, who, in the day of difficulty and trial, fink into a corner, more as the head of Nits, licking their lips for the scrapings of the pot, are now beginning to doubt.
The enlightened republicans do more than doubt — they acknowledge that the head of Jacobinism and democracy had, at first, like the Trojan horse, a specious appearance both of innocence and beauty; but if they had known that he carried in his belly political death and destruction to all those who should at any time manifest an honest opposition to his wayward fancies, they would not have broken down their walls to give him admittance.
Montevideo taken by the British.
Advice is received at the Island of Cuba, by a packet from Old Spain, that Montevideo, on the River La Plata, is taken possession of by the British, and that their force amounted to 18,000 troops — the commanding officer on this expedition was not named at Cuba, when our informant received this intelligence.

DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal 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 intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c.

Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious 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 Bilious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholics, Colicwinds, 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 Bilious Pills, or Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem 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 bilious 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 scurvy in the gums and bad teeth.
