CONGRESS OF THE  UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES SATURDAY, March 8.  BRITISH AFFAIRS.
DEBATE  In committee of the whole on the state of the union—Mr. J. C. Smith in the chair—on the resolution offered by Mr. Gregg. [Mr. Bidwell's Speech continued.]
The gentleman from Georgia says, we had better sacrifice our carrying trade than our agriculture. Indeed, he thinks it a question whether that trade is not, upon the whole, injurious rather than advantageous to us, in a national view. I agree with that gentleman, and the gentleman from Virginia, in one point, the superior importance of agriculture. It is in my estimation, the most important, the primary, interest of the United States, considered in relation either to the numbers employed in it, or the utility and necessity of their employment. This is true of the United States as a nation. I believe it is also true of every particular state. I am sure it is of that, with which I am best acquainted, my own native state. It is emphatically so, of the district, which I have the honor to represent on the floor of this house. For like the gentlemen from Virginia and Georgia, I stand here as the representative of an agricultural district. My constituents, most of them, are proprietors and cultivators of the soil. But, sir, I am confident that I truly represent them, in declaring the opinion, that agriculture and commerce are inseparably connected and mutually dependent. Their connection and dependence grow out of the natural situation and circumstances of our country, and the immemorial usage and habits of our people. The God of Heaven has here joined them together, and it would be no less impious than impolitic to attempt to disjoin them and set them in hostile array against each other. There is no cause for such an unnatural hostility, but on the contrary, every rational motive for reciprocal assistance and support. Sir, the produce of our farms, beyond our own consumption, must perish on our hands, or rather there would soon be no such surplus produce, if there were no commerce to carry it to foreign markets, and to bring us, in return, the productions of other countries, which we want and they can spare. This is the very end of commerce. Such a commercial exchange multiplies the comforts and increases the happiness of mankind.
The average annual produce of the United States, beyond what we consume ourselves, according to the late treasury statement of our exports, amounts, in value, to about forty millions of dollars. It is carried to market chiefly by our own citizens, and in our own vessels, not a tenth part of our imports or exports being now shipped in foreign bottoms. By the enterprise of our merchants, these native exports are carried to every part of the habitable globe, that is open to our trade. We thus have the benefit of a choice of markets, which we should not have, were our commerce more limited, as it certainly would be, if it were in the hands of foreigners, instead of our own enterprising citizens. Our produce, thus exported, is marketed, wherever the greatest demand for it is found. It is not, it cannot be generally sold for specie. It must be exchanged for the productions or manufactures of the respective countries where the sales are effected. If they were limited to specie, or even to such articles of barter as must be consumed in the United States, the sales would necessarily be less advantageous, and the market prices of our own produce proportionally lower. The commodities, received in exchange, constitute the return cargo. When it arrives here, it is as lawfully and honestly the property of the importing merchant, and as truly the object of legal protection and free disposal, as if he had himself raised it out of the soil, or purchased it from the farmers. But the demand for home consumption may be already supplied by other similar importations, or the cargo may not be adapted to our market. In that case it must either be lost, or re-exported to a foreign market, and there disposed of for cash, or in exchange for other articles of commerce. The importations into the United States, as stated by the secretary of the treasury, amount to seventy six millions of dollars a year, computing them by the scale on which the ad valorem duties are called.
ing two millions of dollars towards an object not specified, and giving at the same time a discretionary power to exceed that appropriation, contravenes to the excellent & truly republican doctrine contained in the above extract, I shall leave the public to judge.
Amongst other arguments in favor of specification, I must not omit the following; that if this business was to be kept secret, (and a strong effort was made to the very last to conceal it,) specifying the object of the appropriation, could do no possible injury; whilst it would fix the responsibility on the President, where it ought to be. That although we had no disposition to doubt for a moment, the disposition of that officer, to apply the money in the way intended; yet that law, and not confidence, was, and ought, forever to be the rule in all practicable cases, under which we should act towards him. The right to make appropriations of money in secret was also denied, as a practice calculated to destroy one of the most efficient checks, when the people had over their representatives. But the objection which appeared to us most important, and indeed, insuperable, was the apparent dilution of the proposed measure. For whatever might be said, respecting the policy of acquiring the Floridas; the advantage of which we did not deny; yet the appropriations of money to buy them, under existing circumstances, must, and would be considered, as in the highest degree unpopular and odious. The true motives of those gentlemen who were in favor of purchasing the Floridas, however pure they might be, could not be known abroad but would be inferred from the known facts. These facts must inevitably produce an unfavorable inference, whether it was true or not, and the consequence to our country, would be as fatal from this conclusion, although it might happen to be false, as if it was fairly deducible from the true motives of those who supported this measure. For it had frequently been declared on the floor of Congress, and none had denied it, that France had threatened us with war, if we came to a rupture with Spain—that Spain was not averse to an accommodation of our differences, but that France would not suffer her to make it, unless money was used as a means of propitiation. That France had intimated her willingness to interfere upon this condition, and had given assurances, that Spain should do what we wished on these terms. Under these circumstances we contended, that whether gentlemen were governed by fear of France; or really preferred purchasing the Floridas, to an exchange of territory, (which was the only thing we could consent to Spain,) if money was thus appropriated, it would, and must be understood, not only by France, but by the world, as the effect of intimidation; and that the necessary consequence of such a belief abroad, must be the entire prostration of our national character. The day after this bill passed, which was on the 16th of January, despatches from our minister at London were sent to us, which had been received before Christmas. These despatches several members declared would have changed their vote, if they had been then in time; whilst others affirmed that they served to confirm them in the propriety of their's.
From the above statement, it must be evident, what connection our concave transactions (which were all known to two at least of the foreign ministers here, notwithstanding the injunction of secrecy), had with our proceedings towards Great Britain. The insults, and the injuries of Spain were to be met with money—apparently—if not in reality, give to France to purchase her mediation. The insults, and the injuries of Great Britain, by commercial restrictions, calculated, as we thought ourselves justly in believing, (if Mr. Pitt had lived,) to produce at least an aggravation of those insults and injuries; if not war. Restrictions too, which in their operation at home, would amount, as we believed, almost to a total sacrifice of the agricultural, to the commercial interests of our country. Uniformity and consistency of conduct towards both nations, were necessary in order to produce any effect upon either. If the coercion of Great Britain was to be attempted, our conduct towards Spain should have been firm and decisive. But admitting that we had acted towards Spain as was right, which I can never be induced to think, consistency required, at least a suspension of our proceedings towards Great Britain, until we could hear the result of our minister's negotiation with her. The sole object of which negotiation was, the redress of those very grievances, of which we are at present complained."

The veil, which has heretofore concealed this part of our proceedings from the public eye, is at length removed, and I hasten to exhibit a concise statement of that transaction, before that tribunal, whose right finally to decide all questions of national import, I hope will never be infringed. At the commencement of the present session, the president sent us two messages, the one public, the other confidential; the first breathing a spirit of just indignation at our wrongs, and a determination to pursue all proper means to redress them; the other certainly not contradictory to the first: the public message recommending decisive measures, particularly towards Spain, with whom our negotiation had failed, and who had injured us as much to the extent of her power, as Great Britain; the private message, upon which the majority of the house has determined, much to my regret, continued the injunction of secrecy, containing no sentiments in opposition to the public one. A committee, appointed on this message, brought in a report, expressive of sentiments consentaneous to those in the first, and consequently not hostile to those in the last message. This report recommended it to congress, to authorise the president to raise certain troops, the number of which was intended to be four thousand, for the purpose of repelling and punishing any aggressions on our frontiers; which had been violated, and which were threatened with invasion for several months previous to the battle of Trafalgar, the issue of which compelled Spain to turn her attention to another quarter. Another object for which this force was designed, was the defence and protection of our lately acquired territory, which was, and still is, entirely destitute of defence, and several hundred miles distant from the nearest western state. No offensive expedition against the Floridas, as some have falsely asserted, was either wished or intended by any of the friends of this report, as far as I heard or understood their sentiments. Nothing was more remote from our wishes than war, either with Spain or England. A large majority of the house rejected this report. In this instance I was in the minority. A resolution which had been previously laid upon our table (after being rejected by the committee who brought in the report) was then offered to the house by one of the majority. This resolution proposed to appropriate two millions of dollars, ostensibly for the vague purpose of defraying any extraordinary expenses which might be incurred in our intercourse with foreign nations, but asserted to be in reality for the purchase of the Floridas. It also authorised the president to borrow the money at six per cent without fixing any time or fund for the redemption of the debt; and proposed to continue the additional duty of two and a half per cent on imports commonly called the Mediterranean fund, which fund, the law creating it, declared should cease with the Tripolitan war. We proposed to specify the object, and to limit the sum. The specification was agreed to, fifty-eight voting against it; and the debt to be incurred, made redeemable at will, but the limitation was rejected, and even the specification itself afterwards struck out of the bill. Among the arguments urged to justify the measure finally adopted, it was said that these were the secret wishes of the president.
To this we answered, that although we were disposed to treat with respect the opinions of the president, when officially communicated, yet even then we did not conceive ourselves under any obligation to adopt them. We considered ourselves the representatives of a free and independent people, who sent us here to be governed, not by men, but by principles; and to yield obedience to nothing but the convictions of our own deliberate judgment. That if the president had any opinions on this subject, other than those which he had communicated, they ought to form the subject of another confidential message. And that if his scheme for appropriating two millions towards an object not specified, was his, it was in contradiction to a principle which he himself had recommended and enforced in one of his former messages. In his message to the seventh congress he says—"In our care too, of the public contributions entrusted to our direction, it would be prudent to multiply barriers against dissipation, by appropriating specific sums to every specific purpose susceptible of definition; by disallowing all application of money, varying from the appropriation in object, or transcending it in amount; by reducing the undefined field of contingencies, and thereby circumscribing discretionary powers over money; by bringing back to a single department all accountabilities, where the examination may be prompt, efficacious & uniform." How far this bill, appropriat-
AMERICAN LETTER.
AMEN GARNETT, Esquire, has written an address to his constituents, from which we have made some extracts, which will merit the consideration of every true American. This address is written with a degree of temperance and ability, that demands attention. Mr. Garnett is a republican and represents the district composed of the counties of Caroline, Essex, King and Queen, and King William. Having stated the nature of our differences with Great Britain, and the resolution offered by Mr. Gregg, Mr. Garnett observes:
"To engage in any contest to which the resources of our country were incompetent, would be an evidence rather of madness than courage. It was no disgrace to our country to be at this time incapable of waging a commercial war with Great Britain, nor was there a shadow either of justice or reason, in charging us, for affecting this incapacity, with any partiality for England, unless the opinion which we had been hardly enough to pronounce, that six American frigates were not a match for eight hundred British ships of war, could be construed as a proof of such partiality. The love of country, which prompts the glorious sacrifice both of life and fortune, would prove a curse instead of a blessing, unless accompanied by the judgment of all times to perceive our true interests, and to estimate properly our capacity to assert and maintain them.
Another objection to the proposed measure was that it could not, at one and the same time be considered, as some called it, "taking strong ground, and such as would tend to coerce Great Britain," and as others said, "taking such a pacific step as could give her no offence." It must be either the one or the other. If the first, its ruinous tendency, we thought, had been sufficiently demonstrated. If the last, its inefficacy to cure the evils complained of, must be manifest. It was asserted that Great Britain could be coerced only by strong measures; and all we asked was, that those who proposed them, would prove to us the policy and the power of using them at this time, and the capacity of the country to persevere in them. We conceived it a sufficient answer to all the arguments used on these points to remind gentlemen of the difference between six frigates, or twenty if they pleased, and eight hundred ships of war; and of the magnitude of the sacrifice, which we were called upon to hazard, compared to the object for which it was to be made. To the arguments urged in favor of doing something at this time we answered that our minister at London was at this very time engaged in discussing our differences with that court, and that he had given us reason to hope he should amicably adjust them; that if any reliance could be placed in this assurance it would be premature to do anything whilst this negotiation was pending. If England was disposed to go to war, this measure, before it could be brought to operate upon her, might enable her to do us incalculable mischief, by the capture of our vessels and perhaps the plunder of some of our seaport towns. On the contrary, if she was inclined to peace, any evidence of hostility on our part might retard, but could not possibly accelerate it. Unless indeed we could presume that she feared us, which after our conduct towards Spain, it was utterly impossible that she could do. Whatever impression we might have made upon her at the first of the session, by the proposed measure, she could not now be made to believe that we would persevere in this, or any other measure adopted ostensibly to coerce her, after knowing that a power, which had injured and insulted us full as much in proportion to her ability to do it, as Great Britain had done, had been treated in the manner in which we had treated Spain. After acting, apparently at least, so pusillanimously towards that nation, nothing less than an actual declaration of war could make Great Britain believe us in earnest, in any attempt to force her into a compliance with our wishes. We had deprived ourselves of credibility on this point, and we must take the consequences. If we had acted consistently; if the outrages of Spain had been met with the same spirit of just indignation as those of Britain, there might, perhaps, have been some probability of accelerating the proposed measure, even admitting that this was the sole motive of its adoption. But when Great Britain knew (as she certainly would do from her minister here, who had our secret almost as soon as we had it ourselves) that we had acted, to all appearances at least a dastardly part towards Spain, or rather France, she would not, she could not believe us capable of any other conduct towards her,

AGED about 15 years, and perhaps about 4 feet 6 inches high, with long Lusty Hair. Had on a frock made of country cloth, with a large black and white stripe. She ran away on the 4th of March, and is now probably in Alexandria or the City of Washington. David Peter, George Town, May 7. [May 9] came
between the United States of America, and the East and West Indies, was a subject of a very delicate nature, and that representations therein had been made from the U. States which were now under the most serious consideration of his majesty's government."
Lord Castlereagh, in the debate, hoped his majesty's ministers would proceed in those important negotiations with the United States, with all that temper and forbearance which was due to a country whose interests had been so long connected with ours; and at the same time with that firmness and decision which were due to the rights and interests of Great Britain."
London, March 17.
The Hamburg mail due on Wednesday, arrived on Saturday night, with letters and papers to the 8th instant. The agitation and alarm continue to increase upon the continent, in consequence of the augmentation and activity of the French troops in Germany, which are now said to amount to 142,000 men. They have broken out in Suabia, & the western parts of Germany; and marching for the interior, have re-occupied positions on the Inn and in Salzburg.
It is said that the Prussian commander on the frontiers made dispositions to resist their entrance, until he was informed of the magnitude of the force opposed to him; and the civil, as well as military authorities of the principality have protested against this violation of their neutrality. We cannot credit this latter account, as it is known that Prussia agreed to surrender Anspach in exchange for the Electorate of Hanover.
LONDON COURIER, March 19, 2d edition.
We stop the press at three o'clock, to communicate the following letter, which we have just received by express from Dover:
Dover, half past 8, A. M. Wednesday. This morning, about half past 6 o'clock, a French boat appeared in sight, as a flag of truce. There was so little wind, that she could not fetch in, and a frigate coming round the Foreland, apparently for the purpose, the galley put off from her with a French naval officer and two other gentlemen; they rowed on board the frigate and are gone to the admiral in the Downs. They are supposed to be bearers of a pacific proposal to our government.
London, March 19.
Two Hamburg Mails arrived this morning. They bring news of importance, though somewhat contradictory; whilst some of the German papers would persuade us that every thing is arranged between Prussia and France, others assert, that war between the two powers is inevitable.
The French have suddenly taken possession of Nuremberg. The Austrian Ambassador at Petersburg, has been ordered to declare, that the treaty of Presburgh contains no secret article. The King of Sweden has been formally released by Great Britain and Russia, from his engagements to occupy the country of Lauenburg.

entitled, among independent powers, or have already, in the very morn of their political career, lost their energy and become degenerate. The United States are not insensible that their conduct has exposed them to such suspicions, though they well know that they have not deserved them. They are aware, from the similarity in the persons, the manners, and above all, the identity of the language, which is common to the people of both nations, that the subject is a difficult one; they are equally aware, to Great Britain also it is a delicate one, and they have been willing, in seeking an arrangement of this important interest, to give a proof, by the mode, of their very sincere desire to cherish the relations of friendship with her."
In this remonstrance Mr. Munroe has spoken not only the language of our government, but also the sentiments of every considerate true American.
That cruel, that abominable practice of impressment, in contempt of our unintermitted remonstrances, has been repeated and continued and increased, and is still increasing. Impressments are now multiplying faster than ever before. They are connected with our other cause of complaint, the infringement of our neutral trade; for, when a vessel is condemned, or detained for trial, it furnishes an opportunity and a pretext, for impressing the men, thus thrown out of employment. Sailors are likewise taken out of any of our vessels in Europe, and the West Indies, in our coasting trade, and at the very mouths of our harbors, while pursuing their lawful business, of carrying to market the lumber and fish of Massachusetts, the beef and pork of Connecticut, the flour of the middle states, the tobacco of Virginia, the rice and cotton of Carolina and Georgia, and other exports of the United States, or imports from abroad.
(Speech to be continued.)
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, May 5.
Foreign Intelligence.
The ship Hardware, Captain Matlack, arrived at this port on Saturday evening in 38 days from Liverpool, bringing London papers to the 18th March; from which we have made some extracts.
Captain Matlack informs us, that a peace was soon expected to take place between Great Britain and France, a French flag of truce having arrived at Dover, supposed to be the bearer of Bonaparte's propositions. The British merchants were alarmed at the proceedings of our congress, Mr. Wright's famous (or rather infamous) bill having excited a considerable degree of agitation in London. The earl of Selkirk was appointed ambassador extraordinary to the United States; and it was expected he would sail immediately in the ship Science, bound to this port. The markets at Liverpool were getting better.
Bonaparte has announced his readiness to make peace with Great Britain, on the basis of the treaty of Amiens. This declaration had not made a very deep impression in England. It occasioned a trifling rise of stocks: But Mr. Fox did not seem eager to embrace the offer. Mr. Fox, the minister, appears quite an altered man from the Mr. Fox, when in the minority.
INDIA TRADE.
The trade of neutrals; particularly that of the United States; with India, has been made a subject of debate in the British parliament. In this debate Mr. Secretary Fox said,
"Every body knew, that the question of the Carrying Trade, and the intercourse
lated, that is by adding from 10 to 30 per cent. on the prime cost and charges; but, reckoning according to their cost & charges, their amount is sixty-seven millions. Of these imports it appears that twenty-eight millions and a half are re-exported, and the residue consumed among us.
Whatever may be the suggestions of theory, it is too late to think seriously of introducing the Chinese policy, and withdrawing our citizens from all commercial pursuits. The United States are not a mere "land animal," to use the figurative description of the gentleman from Virginia, but a water animal also. Our people, from their colonial infancy, have always been a mercantile, as well as an agricultural people. If commerce was not originally their natural employment, habit has given it the force of second nature.
The design of the constitution, as expressed in the preamble, was among other things, "to provide for the common defence and promote the general welfare:" not for the exclusive benefit of either farmers or merchants, or mechanics or sailors, or any other class of citizens alone; but for the general welfare of all classes, whether at sea or on land; not for the defence of agriculture or manufactures only, but for the common defence of all our national interests, including commerce among the rest.
The gentleman from Georgia, has told us, that this subject bears upon local interests; that it is itself a local question, and is to be so considered and decided. I am sensible there are local interests, and they sometimes influence our deliberations. I was never more sensible of their existence or their influence, than during the present discussion. I think I can discern their operation on that gentleman's opinions and arguments; and he may, perhaps, perceive them in mine; for it is vain to boast of exemption from such prejudices. But, sir, let us obey the injunction of the constitution, and the dictate of duty. Let us endeavor to guard against those localities and competitions of interest. Let us take a fair view of the whole ground, and bestow the national protection upon agriculture and commerce, in proportion to their relative degrees of importance.
The second ground of complaint against Great Britain is, the impressment of our seamen.
In addition to the President's communication on this subject, which I have taken the liberty to read, I might here introduce the conclusive argument contained in the instructions from the secretary of state to our minister at London. But it is unnecessary, as that interesting document is in the hands of every member. Yet I cannot forbear calling your attention to one paragraph of Mr. Munroe's remonstrance. "On the topic of impressment, however, the motive is more urgent. In that line the rights of the United States, have been so long trampled under foot, and the feelings of humanity in respect to the sufferers, and the honor of their government even in their own ports, so often outraged, that the astonished world may begin to doubt, whether the patience, with which these injuries have been borne, ought to be attributed to generous or unworthy motives; whether the United States merit the rank, to which, in other respects, they are justly

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 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 coughs, 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 breath, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
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 been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of this 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 flyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Nervous Disorders,  Consumptions,  Loss of appetite,  Impurity of the blood,  Hysterical affections,  Inward weakness,  Seminal weakness,  Fluoribus (or whites)  Barrenness,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,  Indigestion,  Melancholy,  Gout in the stomach,  Pains in the limbs,  Relaxations,  Involuntary emissions,  Obsolete gleets,  Impotency, &c. &c. 
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, palsy, 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.
W. WEATHERBURN.
I have a Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily acknowledged 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 five hundred and twenty thousand portions of both forces, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or flatulency in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence, in contrary a particular excellence of this it contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is said in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old. It and no worms exist in the body, but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly effectual 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 essential to health. Yet its salutary effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft 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.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Pore or large round worm, the Acarides 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 fixed to the gut by its head. 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 foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
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 by one in a similar situation—his appetite was destroyed, 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 farther 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 replete with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually affect 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 whole 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 mischief, both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
