BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
West-Indies.
NASSAU, (N. P.) May 20. On Sunday last arrived the American Schooner Greyhound, with slaves from the coast of Africa, by which we have received the intelligence of an English squadron of frigates having taken Governor from the French. The same day captain Hunter (he failed in March last, for the coast of Florida returned) having lost his vessel, which was taken by the Spanish galleys cruising on that station. His majesty's ship Hinde, capt. Larcom, destined to have failed to-morrow, as a convoy to the merchants fleet, bound to England, received considerable damage in the thunder storm this morning. Her main-mast and main topmast were shivered to pieces by the lightning. The departure of the fleet, will necessarily be impeded until the ship can receive the necessary repairs. A sloop bound for Exuma has had her mast split in pieces; and we understand that the storm has occasioned considerable damage to more of the shipping, and to several of the houses in town.
June 17. On Sunday came into the offing, his majesty's ship La Decade, captain Rutherford, from a cruise. She has been out at sea from Jamaica about three months, and her provision being nearly exhausted. The La Prompote has sent into this port, an American brig, prize, bound from Vera Cruz, with money on board, as is said, to the amount of 50,000 dollars. We are sorry to announce the capture of two privateers, the Hope, captain Davis, and the Eagle, captain Whitehead, both of this port, who were accidentally grounded in attempting to capture the enemy - a king's vessel, carrying 18 guns. We have also to lament the death of both captains of our privateers, and a number of brave men. It is further stated that the Spanish captain was killed in the action.
NEW-YORK, July 1. General Hamilton arrived in town yesterday afternoon from the Eastward. It must afford real pleasure to every true friend of his country to learn that the greatest attention has been paid him on his late tour - The papers from the Eastward are filled with high encomiums on, and accounts of, entertainments given to the general, which we shall more particularly notice in our next Gazette.

Extract of a letter from an American gentleman at St. Kitts.
"I have just arrived here from a Guadalupe prison, where I have been plundered and insulted in the most barbarous manner. Judge of my feelings, when I found four of our cruizers in this port, where, however, I have since learned, they all had business, and will be off soon on their cruising ground. "The United States should own about 15 or 20 more brigs and small ships (16 to 18 guns), and by keeping most of them on the Guadalupe station, protected by two or more large frigates, the pirates would soon be entirely cut up, and immense sums acquired and saved, by French prizes and re-captured British and American vessels."
The report of Mr. Jefferson's death appears to be entitled to some credit.
Duane, who has the reputation of being tolerably expert in the arts of design, is sketching a political print, to be called "The Libeller Convicted," or an inside view of a Prison. - There is a sort of savage wildness in this picture, in the manner of Salvator Rosa, and the Banditti, by which the convict is surrounded, have the most villainous and lingo countenances.
Wanted for the Aurora service. Three fellows without ears, two with backs flagrant from the needle, one traitor, and a couple of deists. - None need apply, but who can come well recommended from Newgate or their last place. N.B. Any young imp of sedition, who would make a tolerable Devil, may have every thing found him, except his washings.

TO A GREAT MAN. 1. RETIRING from the vulgar crowd Of upstart rich, of meanly proud, PICKERING, awhile attend; Unenvy'd in thy humble sphere, Thou may'st without suspicion hear The praises of a friend -
2. For who in these discerning days On fallen Statesmen lavish praise? Who, fastid'ry on the poor? What venal, calculating muse A fault in vice exalted views, A good in worth obscure?
3. Let envy o'er thy laurels gloom, Let senseless vanity resume What Washington conferr'd; Let mean caprice or wounded pride Hope in the dust thy fame to hide, And mix thee with the herd.
4. Vain trappings these, a thin disguise Imposing but on vulgar eyes, Obscuring nature's plan! Worn, they but dazzle and deceive: Stript off, in stronger light they leave The lineaments of man.
5. Freed from the glare of rank and place, In unadorn'd and native grace, They now appear confess'd: The ardent mind, the judgment wise The soul elastic, quick to rise More strong, the more compress'd;
6. Superior still to fortune seen, Adive in good, in bad serene. Pursuing RIGHT alone - These, tho' the tempest prels thee down, Tho' faction rave, tho' A - - - frown, These fill are all thy own.
7. Let vulgar minds with senseless joy Prefer, tho' mix'd with base alloy, The bright deceitful coin. The experienced sage will still explore Pure, unalloy'd, the virgin ore That glitters in the mine.
COMMUNICATION.
A correspondent observes, that pride, and the indolence of party spirit, does more injury to the cause of Federalism than most people are aware of, as being the great cause of the want of union and energy; while anti-federalists are united as one man from New Hampshire to Georgia. Let us endeavour to make this thing some what intelligible. The former are in possession of the government and resources of the country. The latter have been long endeavouring to get possession; and it is always an easy matter to support an opposition to good laws, because they are a restraint on the licentious. This ought to excite vigilance in the professors; but they trust to one another, act with supineness, and appear, at least a great portion of them, to feel as secure as people in a garrison in time of peace. Men of talents will not employ their pens, and individuals are above advising but with a select few, and some of whom may perhaps be badly chosen. There is not that intercourse and freedom of communication, which is absolutely necessary for a right understanding of the Federal interests. It is proper that men in public stations should be correctly informed respecting the operation of the laws and measures of government; but in order to obtain that information with more certainty, they should avoid all unnecessary reserve. It is true, General Washington did not appear to mix much with the world, but he always had people about him, both when in military and civil life, who were capable of giving the best opinions, and on whom he could rely; and his sound judgment enabled him to compare and draw just conclusions. It was remarked of Colonel Hamilton when in public office, that he took uncommon pains to obtain the opinions of men of information on certain measures before he adopted them; and to collect the public sentiment. He knew mankind, and it must be supposed that his long acquaintance with, and intimate knowledge of a Washington, was no disadvantage to him.
MR. WAYNE.
The popular Burletta of Midas has been long in vogue, and its easy and humorous airs have been sung by our Grandmothers. Every one remembers the jocund song of the old shepherd. "Since you mean to hire for service "Come with me, you jolly dog, &c." Let it be parodied and, instead of the shepherd and his man, let the interlocutors be Duane, and Callender. D - - - Since you mean to climb my garret, Come with me, you lousy dog, Squalling nonsense, like a parrot Railing, lying, drinking grog With three cents your standing wages, You shall fcurvily be fed; Cowhels, ox-check lights and liver, Skimmed milk and mouldy bread. Come, strike hands, you ragged rover, When from Newgate once you live, When Aurora's labors over, You shall booze in Gin with me. C - - - Done, strike hands. I take your offer; The felon side is rather worse; Zounds I can no longer suffer An empty pouch, and empty purse.
THE following articles are from late London papers.
As they relate to our own countrymen, they will be read with pleasure by those, who patriotically rejoice in the good fortune of their fellow citizens. Description of the Cartoon executed by West for the Crucifixion, to be painted on Glass, for the Cath. dra' at Windsor.
The centre of the piece represents our Saviour on the Cross, between the two malefactors; a choir of angels is seen above as if attending to support him in his last bitter agonies: the repentant and unbelieving thieves are most happily contrasted: In the first is depicted all the marks of joyous rapture at the utterance of the words - This ni, bt shaft thou be with me in paridice , while on the face of the other is painted the horrors of anguish and despair. At the foot of the cross, stands St. John supporting the blessed Virgin; a little on the back ground is Mary, the wife of Cleophas, and near her Mary Magdalen in grief; at the back of whom stands the Young Man, with the sponge and reed; and in the front, are the soldiers casting lots for the garments. On the right side of the picture, is the Centurion and the Roman band of Soldiers; the darkness is occasion

country, a zeal for useful science, and a liberality in promoting it, unexampled in any other country, may be remarked, the public encouragement given to the plan of an institution proposed by Count Rumford, for applying the discoveries of Philosophy to the improvement of the Arts. There are already an hundred and eleven Subscribers, at fifty guineas each; and the Society has purchased a large house in Albemarle-street for a pool. Great-Britain owes much of its superiority to other countries, to the enlightened spirit of its Artists and Manufacturers; the present Institution will render this spirit still more prevalent, give to it a wider range, and a more diffusive operation.
[The following beautiful, and animated description of the "Advantages of Commerce," written by a justly celebrated English author, can never be read without pleasure.]
ADVANTAGES OF COMMERCE.
THERE is no place in town which I so much love to frequent as the Royal Exchange. It gives me secret satisfaction, and in some measure gratifies my vanity as an Englishman, to see so rich an assembly of my countrymen and foreigners consulting together upon the private business of mankind, and making this metropolis a kind of emporium for the whole earth. I must confess, I look upon high change to be a grand council, in which all considerable nations have their representatives. Factors in the trading world, are what ambassadors are in the political world. They negotiate affairs conclude treaties, and maintain a good correspondence between those wealthy societies of men that are divided from one another by seas and oceans, or live on the different extremities of a continent. I have often been pleased to hear disputes adjusted between an inhabitant of Japan and an Alderman of London, or to see a subject of the Great Mogul entering into a league with one of the Czar's Muscovites. I am infinitely delighted in mixing with these several ministers of Commerce, as they are distinguished by their different walks and different languages. Sometimes I am jostled by a body of Armenians; sometimes I am lost in a crowd of Jews; and sometimes make one in a group of Dutchmen. I am a Dane a Swede, or Frenchman, at different times, or rather fancy myself like the old philosopher, who upon being asked what countryman he was, replied, that he was a citizen of the world.
This grand scene of business gives me an infinite variety of solid and substantial entertainment. As I am a great lover of mankind my heart naturally overflows with pleasure at the sight of a prosperous and happy multitude; insomuch, that, at many public solemnities, I cannot forbear expressing my joy with tears. For this reason, I am wonderfully delighted to see such a body of men thriving in their own private fortunes, and at the same time promoting the public stock; or, in other words raising estates for their own families, by bringing into their country whatever is wanting, and carrying out of it whatever is superfluous.
Nature seems to have taken a particular care to disseminate her blessings among the different regions of the world, with an eye to his mutual intercourse and traffic among mankind, that the natives of the several parts of the Globe might have a kind of dependence upon one another, and be united together by their common interests. Almost every degree produces something peculiar to it. The food often grows in one country and the sauce in another. The fruits of Portugal are corrected by the products of Barbadoes; the infusion of a China plant sweetened with the pith of an Indian cane. The Philippine islands gave a flavor to our European bowls. The single dress of a woman of quality is often the product of an hundred climates. The muffs and the fan come together from the different ends of the earth. The scarf is sent from the torrid zone, and the tippet from beneath the pole. The brocade petticoat rises out of the mines of Peru, and the diamond necklace out of the bowels of Indostan.
If we consider our own country in its natural prospect, without any of the benefits and advantages of commerce, what a barren uncomfortable spot of earth falls to our share! Natural historians tell us, that no fruit grows among us besides hips and haws, acorns and pignuts, with other delicacies of the like nature; that our climate of itself, and without the assistance of art, can make no farther advances towards a plum than a sloe, and carries an apple to no greater perfection than a crab; that our melons, our peaches, our figs, our apricots, and our cherries, are strangers among us, imported in different ages, and naturalized in our English gardens; and that they would all degenerate and fall away into the trash of our own country, if they were wholly neglected by the planter, and left to the mercy of our sun and soil.
Nor has traffic more enriched our vegetable world than it has improved the whole face of nature among us. Our ships are laden with the harvest of every climate; our tables are stored with spices and oils, and wine; our rooms are filled with pyramids of China, and adorned with the workmanship of Japan; our morning's draught comes to us from the remotest corners of the earth, we repair our bodies by the drus of America, and repose ourselves under Indian canopies. My friend Sir Andrew, calls the vineyard of France, our gardens; the spice islands, our hot beds; the Persians our silk weavers; and the Chinese, our potters. Nature indeed furnishes us with the bare necessaries of life; but traffic gives us a great variety of what is useful and at the same time supplies us with every thing that is convenient and ornamental. Nor is it the least part of this our happiness, that, while
we enjoy the remotest products of the north and south, we are free from those extremities of weather which gave them birth; that our eyes are refreshed with the green fields of Britain at the same time that our palates are feasted with fruits that rise between the tropics.
For these reasons, they are not more useful members in a commonwealth than merchants. They knit mankind together in a mutual intercourse of good offices, distribute the gifts of nature, find work for the poor, add wealth to the rich, and magnificence to the great. Our English merchant converts the tin of his own country into gold, and exchanges his wool for rubies. The mahometans are clothed in our British manufactures, and the inhabitants of the frozen zone are warmed with the fleeces of our sheep.
When I have been upon Change, I have often fancied one of our old kings standing in person where he is represented in effigy, and looking down upon the wealthy concourse of people with which that place is every day filled. In this case, how would he be surprised to hear all the languages of Europe spoken in this little spot of his former dominions, and to see so many private men, who in his time were the vassals of some powerful baron, negotiating, like princes for greater sums of money than were formerly to be met with in the royal treasury! Trade, without enlarging the British territories, has given us a kind of additional empire; it has multiplied a number of the rich, made our landed estates infinitely more valuable than they were formerly, and added to them an accession of other estates as valuable as the lands themselves.
The following account of the defence of a single person against a whole band of robbers, is worthy of notice. In a village in the county of Lippie, the parsonage house was attacked by about 40 men, who blocked up all the avenues, entered the kitchen window, and searched every apartment in the lower part of the house; but the principal attack was made by about 12 or 14 men, on the parson's study. As soon as he heard that attempts were made to force open his door, he had recourse to a musket, charged and provided with a bayonet, and two pistols, calling at the same time after his servant, out of the window of his bed chamber, when a voice commanded him to retire, otherwise he would be shot; but, without making any reply, he fired off one of his pistols. He then went again to his study, the door of which being very strong, it was attempted to open with hatchets. Notwithstanding the clergyman had fired off another pistol through one of the holes that had been made in the door, his assailants persevered in their attempts to force it open. He perceived a number of persons armed with pistols, poles, &c. one of whom seemed to command the rest, and at whose orders they had repeatedly discharged their firearms. The clergyman continued to thrust his bayonet through the apertures, which so much enraged his assailants, that they swore he should die. It was of great advantage to him that the robbers were provided with lights, and that he himself was in the dark. He attempted to discharge his gun, but it missed fire, and two other loaded pistols he was unable to find. He called again after his servant, but received no answer, and a second attack was made, and notwithstanding the wounds which some of them must have received from his bayonet, as appeared by the blood before his door, they continued their attempts of forcing his room with their hatchets, one of which flew in the room, passing the head of the besieged. This caused a pause, and a short consultation, during which the clergyman again called out for assistance. The robbers then made a third attack, by throwing a stone, about 50 pounds weight, and other heavy things, against the door, the clergyman still defending himself with the bayonet. A pitchfork, which they thrust through one of the openings, he obtained possession of, as well as several other things. The robbers had forced open the door of a room adjoining the parson's bed chamber, but were unable to force the latter. The noise at length awakened a neighbour, who called out what was the matter, but was answered by one of the robbers, "nothing," and on repeating the enquiry, was fired at. Four persons who had guarded the servant, quitted their post, upon which he made his escape, but guns were discharged after him. The robbers now made their fourth and last attack upon the study, four or six men having brought the trunk of a tree, about ten feet long, with which they continued their attempts to force the door, and succeeded so far as to make an opening large enough for a person to enter, and obliged the parson to retreat to his bed chamber, where he again entrenched himself, but nobody attempting to enter his study, whither he again proceeded. At length he was happily relieved, a party having informed the robbers that they were in danger, upon which they extinguished their lights, and took to flight. Many of the effects of this brave man were damaged, but very little carried off. His example shews what dangers may be encountered by a single person, endowed with courage and presence of mind; he is a great mechanical genius, the singular means of strengthening his doors against the greatest violence, being of his own invention.
PARIS, April 22.
The First Consul decided yesterday on the fate of more than 200 persons inscribed upon the list of emigrants, and their names have in consequence been definitely erased. Amongst the names of the persons to whom justice has been done, we have remarked the names of Beaumetz, L'ancourt, C. Lameth, Valence, La Fayette, and his companions in misfortune.

AN APPRENTICE WANTED, At the Office of the Gazette of the United States.

Eighty Thousand Persons, OF ALL AGES, Have, within two years past, found relief from  HAMILTON'S  Worm-destroying Lozenges, In various dangerous complaints, Arising from worms, and from foulness or ob- struction in the  STOMACH AND BOWELS.
THIS medicine bears no analogy what- ever to others of similar titles, to com- monly complained of as operating with a degree of violence sufficient not only to kill worms but sometimes to endanger the pa- tient's life; on the contrary a peculiar ex- cellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the ten- derest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body; but will without pain or griping cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly effi- cacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious com- plaints, and are the safest and mildest purga- tive that can be used on any occasion. Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasant appearance and an agreeable taste.
Description of worms, And the symptoms by which they are known. Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. The teres or large round worm, the ascarides, or small maw worm, and lastly, the tania, or 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 feet; convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech; starting and grinding of teeth in sleep; irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious; purging, with slimy and foetid stools; vomiting; large and hard belly; pains and tickens at the stomach; pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits; flow fever, with small and irregular pulse; a dry cough; ex- cessive thirst; sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate re- course to Hamilton's Worm-destroying Lo- zenges , which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to to those above described.
Recent cures, selected from several hundreds, the authenticity of which any per- son may ascertain by letter or personal appli- cation, not being performed in Europe—no- body knows where—but at home.
A daughter of Mr. Ewing Wiley, No. 109, Cedar Street, Philadelphia, was dread- fully afflicted with worms, inasmuch that her life was with great reason despaired of; her complexion faded and grew pale and fal- low; her eyes sunken; her appetite was lost, and succeeded by a painful and constant tickens at the stomach, which general wast- ing and debility was accompanied with every appearance of a dangerous fever. From this deplorable situation she was, relieved, and restored to a state of perfect health and strength in a few days, by the use of Ham- ilton's Worm-destroying Lozenges; which expelled a great number of large pointed worms, from six to nine or twelve inches in length; one of which being of a most ex- traordinary thickness, (enclosed from half an inch to an inch in diameter) was opened and found to contain a quantity of young ones. The above is communicated by Mr. Wiley, believing its perusal may be useful to many, by extending the knowledge of a medicine which merits universal attention.
MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 47 Wilkes Street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true.
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five, and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms, they were frequently trou- bled with convulsion fits, and violent start- ings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confi- dence of success which only increased our disappointment. The child grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest one appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inha- lant of this world. In this distressing mo- ment I was told that Hamilton's Worm- Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immedi- ately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest vomited a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long; in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skins of a slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeably to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy though five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevi- table.
Sworn before me, this 26th day of Sep- tember. 1799. J. SMITH.
Letter from Mr. John Abercromby, soap and candle manufacturer, No. 28, Bridge Street, Baltimore, to the proprietor of Ham- ilton's Worm-destroying Lozenges. Sir, October 12, 1799. I thank you for the information that I have experienced the happiest effects from your Lozenges, having been much affected for four years past with various complaints caused by a cold, particularly a constant pain in my stomach and bowels, frequent and severe head-ache, with a general lassitude and weakness, during which time I had the best medical advice that could be obtained from the most skillful physicians I could hear of, both American and European, but with- out any alleviation of my disorder.
I should too probably have continued without relief, but for your Worm-destroy- ing Lozenges, which brought from me an astonishing quantity of small white worms, about the size of a coarse thread, and in a short time I found myself perfectly free from all my former complaints, and have enjoyed a good state of health for five months past. I have constantly recommended your me- dicine, and shall as long as I live, having from my own experience reason to believe it to be an invaluable and unparalleled remedy. Should any person wish for further information, I will with pleasure satisfy their enquiries on this subject.
JOHN J. ABERCROMBY. July 10, 1799.
Sir, I had been a long time afflicted with a violent gnawing pain in my stomach, a dull, heavy and continual head-ache, with a fre- quent swimming in my head, accompanied with dimness of sight, and sometimes partial blindness, and was rendered incapable of at- tending my business through loss of strength; sometimes could scarcely eat a morsel for two or three days, when my appetite would suddenly become astonishingly voracious. I firmly believed myself to be in a consumption, which must soon put a period to my life, when happily hearing of several cures per- formed by Hamilton's Worm-destroying  Lozenges in complaints which could not be accounted for; I took two doses which ex- pelled an incredible number of small sharp- pointed worms. In short, I now enjoy as perfect health and strength as ever I did in my life, and I believe my cure to be entirely effected by means of your medicine.
My brother witnessing its surprising effi- cacy, was induced to take a dose, though in tolerable health, which occasioned him like- wise to void a great quantity of worms of the same kind, and thereby probably prevent- ed his experiencing those dreadful disorders with which he was afflicted.
A sincere desire that others in similar cir- cumstances may receive the same benefits, is the reason of my sending you this account. Yours, very respectfully, AQUILLA GOLDING.

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asthmas, Sore Throats, and ap- proaching Consumption.
Thousands are to well acquainted with the nature and effects of empirical medicines daily of- fered for the cure of the above complaints— dear bought experience has taught them that oily and heating medicines joined with firing opiates or sleepy drugs, repeated doses, of which flatter and deceive the patient for the present by procuring momentary ease; experience, I say, has taught thousands that the common opi- ates and balsamics, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder in the breast and lungs, in the most distressing symptoms; that they load the stomach and impair the digestion—in- flame the whole system, increase the difficulty of breathing, and excite fever. But the qua- lities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects. A single trial will prove that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common, healthful perspiration; that it dis- lodges and evacuates the tough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, heats the acrimonious humours, which irritates the lungs, and finally discharges them. Thus striking at the root of the disor- der, the symptoms are of course effectually and permanently conquered, the reverse of common medicines which weaken the constitution and give strength to the disorder, for the sake of mor- derating for the present, some of its painful ef- fects.
TO PARENTS
Who may have Children afflicted with the Hoop- ing Cough.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords 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.
DANGEROUS COLD.
David Gilbert, Toyman, No. 46, South Fourth Street, Philadelphia, voluntarily mak- eth oath, as follows namely, That about eight months ago, he caught a severe cold, which resisted every remedy he could think of, and produced the most alarming effects; he could procure no rest for incessant coughing, nor breathe without great pain and difficulty, and was finally so exhausted, as to be scarcely able to walk about, which left his friends little hopes of his recovery, though the prescriptions of a respectable physician were constantly at- tended to. In this situation hearing of the ef- ficacy of Hamilton's Elixir , a bottle was pro- cured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street; the first dose of which afforded the most surprising relief, and gave him more ease than he had enjoyed during the whole of the above period, and before the contents of one bottle were taken, he was perfectly cured, his strength and appetite recovered, and in a symp- tom of his former distressing complaints re- mained.
The above particulars the said David Gilbert wishes to be made public, as a testimony of his gratitude, and for the benefit of mankind.
DAVID GILBERT. Sworn and subscribed before me the 24th day of March, 1800. John Jennings, Aldermen.
Dr. Hamilton's
Genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard.
A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, rheumatic gout, palsy, lumbago, numbness, white swellings, chilblains, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c.
The experience of many ages and the testimony of the ablest medical practitioners from an early period to the present time, agree in as- cribing to Mustard very powerful and singular virtues; in every case where the necessity of stimulating remedies are indicated, while the inflammatory state of the system forbid the use of medicines of a heating quality; Mustard is eminently useful, and vastly superior to any other drug.
The Essence and extract of Mustard, contain the whole virtues of the plant concentrated in a small compass, entirely devoid of that acrimo- ny, which renders its external application so in- convenient in a crude state, likewise rejecting those inert and useless parts which compose the chief of its bulk, and renders the necessary dose so large as to be extremely nauseating to the stomach, by which means every inconvenience is obviated in these medicines.
This valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in pills, and thus excellently ad- apted both for external and internal use.
The Pills operate mildly by urine and by in- sensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous and morbid humours; they are highly cordial to the stomach, create appetite, assist digestion, remove flying pains, an cold or windy com- plaints in the stomach and bowels.
The Essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago and Pal- sy; and by its peculiar penetrating and dis- persing quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, stiffness of the neck, joints, &c. Swelled faces, head ache, indurated breasts, white swellings, frozen limbs, &c. and will infallibly prevent the ill effects of getting wet or damp in the feet.
Many persons have been much disappointed by purchasing medicines under the name of Ef- fect of Mustard, which bear no analogy what- ever to this remedy. Some of these prepara- tions are perfectly inert, others produce the most violent and dangerous effects, and are much to be guarded against.
A great number of well authenticated cases of cure, from almost every part of the union, might here be cited, did the limits of even this long ad- vertisement permit. The following must serve by way of specimen.
John Hoover, ro. 10, South Second Street between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadel- phia, voluntarily maketh oath, as follows, nam- ely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with violent rheumatism, very danger- ously situated, the consequence of a cold, after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melan- choly apprehension of remaining a cripple for life; notwithstanding the most respectable me- dical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Ex- tract of Mustard , they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street—The first ap- plication enabled her to walk across the room and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

MR. HENRY REED, Butcher, Proprietor of No. 24, Centre Market house Baltimore.
Sir, About two months ago, your medicine pro- ved of singular service to me. I was not able to move from my room for upwards of a fortnight with the rheumatism or Rheumatic Gout in my left foot and ankle, when Dr. Buchanan recom- mended the Essence of Mustard, as the only me- dicine to be depended on, and directed me where to procure it; and by using it as a quarter of a bottle and a few of the pills, I was able to ride to market next day, and have been perfectly free from any complaint over since.

Mrs. MARY M'CRABE, wife of George M'Crabe, grocer, Bond Street, Fell's Point, was perfectly cured (by persevering in the use of Hamilton's Essence and extract of mustard) of a rheumatic complaint of eleven years standing, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time, and with the least inconvenience possible. Gowland's Genuine Lotion—Church's Cough Drops—Anderson's Pills, &c.
Dr. Hamilton's Grand Restorative,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the va- rious complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in cli- mates unfavorable to the constitution; the im- moderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance; the un- natural or excessive use of mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life; bad lying in, &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experi- ence to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Melancholy, Consumption, Gout in the stomach, Lowness of spirits, Pains in the limbs, Loss of appetite, Relaxations, Impurity of the blood, Involuntary emissions, Hysterical affections, Seminal weakness, Inward weakness, Osmate gl. cts, Violent cramps in the Flour albus, or whites stomach and back, I potency, Indigestion, Barrenness, &c.
This medicine is perfectly different in its qua- lities and operation from those hot and irritating drugs so frequently proposed for similar purpo- ses, and which only recommend themselves by the dangerous rapidity of their effects, and which acting as a temporary but violent stimulus on the nervous system, infallibly produce greater evils than those they are intended to remove.
The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers and sending from that organ new health, and vigour in every part of the system. It enriches and purifies the blood without inflaming it; braces without stimulating too violently the nervous sys- tem; strengthens the secretary vessels and the ge- neral habit; brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone; and reflects that outuition which in moderate evacuations have destroyed, and whole loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
The Restorative is absolutely above all recom- mendation, in removing those weaknesses and in- firmities with which many females are afflicted, the consequences of difficult and painful labours, or of injudicious treatment therein.
The most obstinate seminal gleets; and the most distressing cases of flour albus in females, fall par- ticularly under the province of this restorative; speedily yielding to its benign operation, and are radically cured, by correcting and purifying the acrimonious humours, restoring a proper degree of tension to the relaxed fibres, and strengthen- ing the weakened organs.
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 want of the flesh which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has per- formed the most astonishing cures.
The Grand Restorative is prepared in pills as well as in a fluid form, which allows considerably in producing a gradual and lasting effect. Their virtues remain unimpaired for years in any cli- mate.
DR. HAHN'S
True and Genuine German Corn Plaster.
An infallible remedy for corns, speedily remov- ing them root and branch, without giving pain.
The genuine Persian Lotion,
So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellent mineral, the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled effica- cy in preventing and removing cutaneous blemishes of the face and skin of every kind, particularly freck- les, pimples, puffs after small pox, inflammatory red- ness, furfur, tetter, ring-worms, sun-burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. The Persian lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural insensible perspiration, which is essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent rendering the skin delicately fair and clear, improving the complex- ion and restoring the bloom of youth. Never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and an handsome one more so.
The Damask Lip Salve,
Is recommended (particularly to the ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chapped and sore lips and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful ro- sy color and delicate softness to the lips.
Restorative Powder for the Teeth & Gums.
This excellent preparation comforts and strength- ens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that aci- monious slime and foulness, which suffered to accu- mulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
Dr. Hahn's Anti-Bilious Pills,
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspira- tion, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence; a dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are cele- brated for removing habitual costiveness, sickens at the stomach and severe head ache, and to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully pre- served for use by every seaman.
The Anodyne Elixir,
For the cure of every kind of Head Ache.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops,
A long eulogium on the virtues of this medicine is unnecessary, as the money will be returned if the patient is not relieved, it never having failed in many thousand cases, not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than a bottle and numbers not half a bottle.
Tooth Ache Drops.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives im- mediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
Sovereign Ointment for the Itch.
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one ap- plication, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the exhibition of other remedies.
For the Cure of
VENEREAL COMPLAINTS,
The Patent Indian Vegetable Specific, Prepared by Dr. Leroux.
The experience of several thousands who have been cured by this medicine (a great proportion of them, after the skill of eminent physicians had proved inef- fectual) demonstrate its efficacy in expelling the Vene- real poison, however deeply rooted in the constitu- tion, and in counteracting those dreadful effects which often result from the improper use of mercury.
The merits of the Vegetable Specific is equal to its surprising efficacy, its operation is so gentle that it is given to Venereal patients in a state of pregnancy, with the utmost safety, and performs a cure without disturbing the system or producing any of those disagreeable effects inseparable from the common remedies.
With the medicine is given a description of the symptoms which obtain in every stage of the dis- ease, with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time, and with the least inconvenience possible.
