To the Lovers of the French Language.
ADDRESS.
IN an age when successful efforts have been made towards the improvement of the art of Thinking, and when Analysis has been discovered the universal, and sole good method to improve all sciences, and receive instruction in them, it may be a matter of astonishment that it has not been yet generally embraced, and rendered the familiar method of learning. The extraordinary rise and progress of Chymistry, within a very few years, are entirely due to analysis; but there is an art on which it should have first darted its beneficial rays, I allude to the Teaching of Languages. In fact, Nature, this excellent analyst, was before our eyes guiding children in learning the language of their mother, and no child ever failed in acquiring it, proving surprisingly by her unerring lessons—Fully convinced by reason and experience, that the same method the pupil should be followed as nearly as possible, I adopted, in the course of my instruction, such books established on principles that least deviated from her simple dictates. I soon perceived that the method acquired from these aids was but a very irregular and imperfect Analysis—Therefore, resolved though with a very small confidence in my slender abilities, but animated with zeal for the improvement of those who may wish to learn French from me, to undertake the laborious and arduous task of writing a work, grounded on Analytical principles, which might comprehend what is wished for by those applying themselves to the study of the living languages, and am happy to say, I have now nearly concluded it. It consists of three parts. The first, is a chosen Vocabulary of words most frequently used in speech, containing 2,500—the most natural acceptation of each is determined by a phrase prefixed to it. The second, contains the French verbs, both regular and irregular, from a new system in which the principal difficulties attending conjugation are first explained, and observations given on the use of each tense, illustrated by proper examples, so as to enable the learner to express himself with precision. The third, is a complete list of those words fermant de lien ou de complement de sens entre les autres parties du discours : that is to say—forming the link or completion of sense between the other parts of speech, whose principal use is to establish in speech that connection between words, which already exists in the mind between ideas. I have also fully determined the sense and acceptation of these important words (which are divided into appropriate classes to fix them the easier in the memory) by annexing to each examples in French and English. As I do not intend to publish the above, for some time, and in order, nevertheless, that my pupils may reap the same advantage without it, I hasten to inform those who may be induced to put themselves under my care, that half the time of school (the other half being devoted to other exercises) will be employed in exercising them in the following manner:— We first begin with the Vocabulary; each word of which will be pronounced in English then in French, to be repeated by one or more of the scholars; and a similar repetition of the phrases before mentioned will follow. It is worthy of observation, that in our infancy, and as we advance in years, we learn the pronunciation of our vernacular tongue, by pronouncing word by word; and Analysis accomplishes what remains to be done, in order to acquire the necessary knowledge of it. The rules given by Grammarians to attain this object are almost useless to us, and still more so to the foreigners, struggling in vain to learn the true pronunciation of a language with the help of dictionaries and Grammar alone. Though I conceive my scholars may attain in the above manner, the accurate pronunciation of the French language, yet strict attention is paid to their reading in approved authors before we begin the foregoing exercises. I will pursue nearly the same method in imparting to them the contents of the two other divisions of my work. I cannot conclude this address without thanking my Fellow-Citizens for the liberal encouragement I have experienced from them, these six years past, in my professional career, presuming that I may be permitted to say, that I have not been altogether undeserving of it.

To Readers and Correspondents. "SENECA," in the intervals of political composition, and salutary invective, not un- worthy of JUNIUS, we hope will find incli- nation to exclaim "Awake, Eolian lyre; awake; And give to rapture all thy trembling strings." With our conviction of his satirical pow- ers, we wish that he would bend his attention to the Jacobinic foe, and employ his excellent poetry in aid of sound and virtuous politics. We are assured of the salutary consequences of literary efforts, thus di- rected.
"Yes, from the depths of Pindus shall your rhymes, Thro' this misorder'd world, those lawless times, Be heard distinctly in our inmost state; All that the good revere and bad men hate, In spirit and in substance, as of old, Your Muse in her Abetus shall enfold." We are diverted with the fantastic and be- witching raillery of a gay Coquette, who calls herself "FRANCES." It is impossible to argue with so volatile a logician. We can only defend ourselves, by running away, and by remarking to the Lady that, at any rate, we must be vanquished by the power of her eyes, if not of her arguments. "Her mein, her shape, her temper, eyes, and tongue Are sure to conquer—for the rogue is young; And all that's madly wild, or oddly gay We call it only pretty Fanny's way."
The moral doctrine of "Mentor" is just and salutary. But his position that "real greatness of mind and energy of talents are seldom accompanied with an inclination to love and gallantry," is not warranted by any, even the slightest survey of human nature. The moralist may mourn that Genius and strong passions are connected, but the Phi- losopher and man of the world know that this is a frequent alliance. The reader of Sully's memoirs will discover innumerable instances of ardency of passion in Henry of Navarre, one of the greatest and most amiable of Princes. We may find Alcibiades at the feet of an Aspasia, and Julius Cæsar at more than one toilet.
"Antonius fed from Agrippa's coast, Augustus pressing, Asia lost: His fails by Cupid's hands unurl'd To keep the fair, he gave the world. Edward our fourth, rever'd and crown'd, Vigorous in youth, in arms renown'd While England's voice and Warwick's care Design'd him Gallia's beauteous heir— Chang'd peace and power for rage and wars Only to dry one Widow's tears.

LITERARY NOTICE. We are pleased to learn that an elegant and ample edition of the works of the late Judge WILSON, is to be published by the enterprising Mr. DICKINS, from the very elegant press of Mr. Maxwell. The collation of the manuscripts, is to be the care of BRID WILSON Esq. Hence, from natural solici- tude for the literary reputation of a rela- tion and from the legal information, and
accuracy of the Editor, the Public may rightfully expect a faithful and well digested specimen of the jurisprudential skill, and political science of a learned Judge. The following extract from the Prospectus, will fully describe the plan of the work.
THE Volumes now offered to the Pub- lic will contain the Lectures on Law de- livered by the Author in the College of Philadelphia, and some detached pieces upon legal subjects. Of the plan of the Lectures the Public have been long in possession. That plan was never completely executed; but the most valuable part of it was finished and delivered by the Author in the form in which it will now be published. This part treats of the general nature of law—of the law of nature and of nations—of municipal law, and some other general subjects con- nected with these—of the causes, origin, progress, history, kinds, parts, and proper- ties of government—of the principles, na- ture, and history of the Common Law, and its transfer from Europe to America; and of the municipal law of the U. States and of Pennsylvania relating to PERSONS; Under this division a full view is taken (among other subjects) of the constitutions of the ge- neral and state governments; of the trial by jury; of the nature and philosophy of evi- dence; and of the criminal law of the Uni- -States and of Pennsylvania. The remaining part of the plan, in which it was proposed to treat of the municipal law respecting property, and of the history of a suit at law, from its commencement to its termination, was not executed. The part however, which has been executed and which is now offered to the Public, is highly deserving of their attention, from the importance of its sub- jects—subjects in their nature interesting, not only to professional men, but to every citizen of the United States.
The detached pieces proposed to be added are—An essay on the history and advantages of property; Considerations on the legisla- tive authority of the British Parliament over the American Colonies, published at the beginning of the revolution; And con- siderations upon the Bank of North-Ameri- ca, published in 1785, in which some im- portant points of constitutional law are brought into view.
Notice to the TRUE BLUES of America.
Gentlemen; To You will our Brethren of the unfortunate Sifter States, now exposed to a merciless enemy, look for help in the hour of encroaching danger. On you, will our Common, Political Father, rely for the salvation of your Country, and he will not look in vain.—If those uniforms which wea- thered the Insurrections of Gallatin in '94 and Fries in '98, are impaired by service, repair them, and be ready in time. The very knowledge of your readiness to appear again, the legitimate Sons of Patriots of '75, the only lawful heirs to this soil and to their glory, will make those foreign emu- laries, who have excited the mischief in the South, shrink like the mist of the morning before the glorious rising Sun.
Extract of a letter from Washington.
"The rising of the negroes is now proved to have been occasioned by the circulation of some artfully written hand bills, drawn up by the noted Callender, in prison, and circulated by two French people of colour, originally from Guadalupe, aided by an United Irish pretender. Methodist Preacher. Callender declares himself innocent of any intention to go further, than merely to favour Mr. Jefferson's election, but he is still suspected of a further object.
A troop of United States Cavalry is or- dered to Richmond, and all the people of that city begin to think they were wrong in their designs against Federalism, and charge their defection to the busy designing For- eigners who have lately come among us."
We understand a compromise is attempt- ed to be effected, through a state Secretary, between the four Jacobin candidates for a lucrative office, with a promise on the part of the one conceded to that should he obtain the post, he will on going out of office divide whatever sum he may have un- accounted for, equally between the other three, the Secretary, and himself:—thus the poor deputies are to be totally excluded from any share, although the sum may ex- ceed one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars!!!
Monday the twenty second day of Sep- tember, the Sbee Legion of this city paraded and marched to Beggar's town,—for what— to drink gin with Duane—eat a Bull at Logan's—or was it to celebrate the corona- tion of King George the III?
At the late celebration of the coronation of King George, a Captain of the Sbee Le- gion, thinking it beneath his dignity to walk, after the gallant exploits of the day, mounted his Gig, and rode in state at the head of his company, who could not see whether he was walking or riding.

OUR ENVOYS.
A letter from a gentleman at Paris, dated July 17, received in Boston, observes, that the Envoys are very secret as to the progress of the Negotiation they are conducting: That whatever reports may be current rela- tive to the business they can have no better basis than conjecture; that he should write again by Mr. Tudor, who was to take pas- sage with the Envoys in the Portsmouth fleet of war.
From the New-York Gazette.
On looking over the London papers by the ship Hazard, we find, in one of the 8th ult. this article:—"By letters from Paris, we find the American Ministers make no pro- gress in their explanations, and that the two republics are not likely to be better reconci- led. The object of this suspence and delay is obvious. France, by a doubtful conduct, will animate her partizans in America, and intimidate her opponents; and in this course she will the more probably continue to succeed, with a view of effecting a change of the Pres- ident, the election of whom comes on in a few months."
Besides this, Mr. Campbell, who came passenger in the Hazard, and who left Paris the first of August informs, that our envoys were on the eve of leaving that place, when they received a request from Consul Buon- aparte to tarry a little longer.
It does not appear from this, that our Commissioners were coming away satisfied with the progress they had made in the bu- siness of negotiation. The London Editor's conjectures on this subject may therefore be right.
[The following letter was received by the Editor yesterday, with a request that it might be continued till the 1st October. —It gives the Lie direct to the Jacobin assertions relative to that respectable body of people the Methodists.]
DOVER, SEPTEMBER 19, 1800.
MR. WAYNE, AS your paper has a more exten- sive circulation through this State, than any other, I wish to contradict a Jacobin lye which is gaining ground. They say, that the Methodists who form a very large pro- portion for the Federal interest of Kent county, intend to drop the Honourable James A. Bayard at the next election. I can with boldness contradict the mischievous and ill-founded untruth, and say, that, there is not twenty voters, of that society, in the county, who will not support him with all their influence. The following is the Me- thodist Ticket.
A METHODIST. Representatives to Congress. James A. Bayard. Senator. George Cummins. Representatives. Nicholas Ridgel James Henry Henry Molleston John Lockwood William Sorden Stephen Lewis Manlove Emerson. Coroners. Richard Harrington William Needles Levy Court Commissioners. Israel Peterlon John Stout John Hufur.
The following two Extracts are taken from the Lancaster Journal, a valuable paper published by Mr. Wm. Hamilton, at the Seat of Government of this State.
Governor M c Kean in his reply to the an- swer of the Senate observes that "the pro- stitution of official influence to party purpo- ses, may afford a proper cause of removal from office. If the Governor has one spark of regard for his word, his honor and dignity, he will not hesitate a moment to discharge from office Tench Coxe, William Barton, Timothy Matlack, Frederick Muhlenberg & John Light. For it is a well known fact that those men were fearfully known in the country of Lancaster before they were ap- pointed to offices by Governor M c Kean. All that is to be expected then from their exertions is comprised in the characters they derive from official influence."
Let the people of Pennsylvania read the following extract from the proceedings of the Democratic Meeting on Friday last, and if they do not blush for the honor and respectability of the State and feel for its safety, they must be callous to every fine feeling of the human breast. Here is the extract.
"Resolved that Messrs. Tench Coxe, Tim- othy Matlack, Fred. A. Muhlenberg, Ja- cob Carpenter and Samuel Bryan, be a com- mittee to address the citizens of the State of Pennsylvania."
Francis Bailey, Chairman. John Light, Secretary."
Six of these men hold lucrative offices under the Governor of Pennsylvania. The seventh, Francis Bailey, is the Governor's printer. I will not infult the feelings of the reader by attempting any comment.
Who has been the cause of borrowing money at 8 per cent? Those who were for "flipping the wheels of government" those who prevented the assessment of the House and Land tax, which should have been col- lected long ago, and if it had been collect- ed there would have been no occasion for borrowing money at 8 per cent. Pray is it the Federalists or the French party that cre- ate insurrections and taxes? Surely it is the latter.
Who is he that has thought proper to arraign those who opposed his election with the epithets of "traitors, tories, refugees,
French aristocrats, British friends, and apo- state whigs, together with all the officers of government, and expectants of office under the President of the United States"—Was he a Federalist, No! it was Thomas M c Kean Governor of Pennsylvania, at the head of a party.
Who were they that propagated lies. Who were they made the people believe that Governor M c Kean would repeal all the obnoxious laws of Congress, such as the ali- en and sedition laws, house and land tax, discharge the standing army and navy? Who? Esquire of Dallas, Coxe, Muhlenberg, Dr. Logan, William Barton, Samuel Bryan, Doctor Leib, Matlack, Heister, &c. &c. I am no party man but a friend to peace and good order, and an enemy to those who are opposed to our government and its laws. A TRUE AMERICAN.
From the Aurora of Friday last.
It appears that John Fries, the persecu- ted victim of a daring faction, has been received in the bosom of his native country with a kindness and attention that reflects honor on the virtue and sensibility of the people of Pennsylvania. Every attention which could be bestowed on him and his fam- ily, they have experienced from their fel- low citizens, both during his cruel impris- onment and while he was tortured by the menaces of a barbarous death. The Presi- dent of the United States giving way to the solemn admonitions of conscience, al- armed at the stretches of the faction which were seeking to involve him in disgrace and the nation in civil war, or despotism, would not consent to countenance his murder tho' the blood of the victim was held up as the criterion of future support from a faction; the perversion of the law and the abuse of the judicial authority, by a Judge fit to rank in history with Jeffries, were not to Mr. Adams sufficient causes to realize the death of a fellow citizen; his own know- ledge as a lawyer, revolted against a sen- tence so barbarous, and against which, every active mind in the community cried out with indignation, the advice of men differing from each other in politics, but of acknowledged legal ability and integrity was called into his aid, and by their opinion, which proved that the daring constructions of the judg- es on the laws of treason were unfounded; that the justice of the country, and the life of an individual not legally subjected to the punishment of death were involved, the Presi- dent obeyed the impulses of truth and vir- tue, and saved an innocent man to his coun- try and his family. Fries was liberated, and the voice of his country give an unqualified plaudit for the act of genuine justice.
What followed, his fellow citizens eager to make up for his sufferings, elected him to the command of a militia regiment; and in obedience to law, the Governor has issued a commission; this is set up as one of those charges which debauched and infamous men, heap upon each other, to injure if they could, the reputation of Governor M c Kean.
But what is the true ground upon which these transactions should be placed? Do we not know that the presence of insurrections, was one of those bold strokes which Samuel Lyman describes; do we not know upon the authority of the members of the legisla- ture who went thither, that no such thing as an insurrection or a treasonable resistance existed; has not the voice of those counties, whom the discovery made of the arts, prac- tised by Hamilton and his adherents Pick- ering and Pinckney, to drag us into such mis- adventures as would render a standing army neces- sary, and promote the establishment of what they call a strong government. This is the true light in which that infamous business should be viewed. We should consider it as a measure which was the stratagem of a faction, and the cause of a vast expenditure calculated to enrich a few creatures of power; for the same cause which whetted animosity against him, still exists; he was an active officer in our revolution, and he now com- mands a regiment of hardy and brave re- publican Germans.
[To comment copiously on the above would be useless. We shall just state facts, known to all. A rebellion against the laws of the United States broke out in the spring of 1799, in the counties of Montgomery, Bucks, and Northampton.—John Fries was the leader; he, with an armed force, threat- ened an officer of the United States, refused certain prisoners from that officer, and pre- vented him from executing his duty; openly bidding defiance to our government. The President issued a proclamation, inviting them to return to their duty as citizens, and stated the consequences of disobedience, they treated his offers of conciliation with con- tempt; he was then compelled to order out the troops in the pay of the U. States, and some militia volunteer companies, to avenge the insulted laws. The troops turned out with alacrity, marched to the scene of insur- rection, and arrested a number of the rebels, among the rest John Fries. He was twice tried by the laws of his country, and twice convicted by an honest and upright jury of 12 men; he was sentenced to die, the punishment due his crime. The Presi- dent in mercy pardoned him, anticipating a good effect, and he returned to his home, where no sooner did he arrive, than those very persons who had been convicted, some of treason, others of misdemeanor, elected him their military chief, and to complete the bus- iness, their choice has been sanctioned by Thomas M c Kean, Governor of Pennsylvania, who has commissioned him Colonel of a Regiment of Militia; thus forming as it were a banditti in the heart of our country; and at the very moment when an insurrec- tion has commenced in Virginia and Caroli- na. Thus that part of the community, who matched to suppress a rebellion, and those

who pay taxes to support government, and against whom the arms of the insurgents were directed, are now compelled to contribute, to furnish with muskets those once convicted rebels.]

MR. WAYNE,
OBSERVING in Bradford's Paper of September 12, a piece signed Me c ator on the subject of yellow fever, advancing arguments to prove the non-contagious quality of the disease, and to fix its origin to the atmosphere of this country; remarks in my opinion as fallacious as they are destructive to the credit and prosperity of the United States. I am informed Doctor Rush intends shortly to issue another Pamphlet on this subject, pointing out in a clear and decided manner the causes of its non-appearance in Philadelphia this year, owing to an uncommonly pure and wholesome atmosphere; I hope he will at the same time account for its appearance with such malignancy in Norfolk, Baltimore and Providence, where the air must be much the same as in Philadelphia. The same exciting causes are to be found here this season, as have been attached to us for three preceding years. Indeed, Sir, I was in hopes the idea of yellow fever being a native of this country, would ere this have been relinquished, even by the infatuated doct r . Rush, and consequently by his numerous adherents, who pin their faith so closely to his, that nothing short of a change in the doctor's opinions, will produce an alteration in theirs. In my opinion the strongest ground for believing the Disease is a Foreign one, is the very argument advanced by those who advocate its origin here, viz. Philadelphia has escaped this Season; (and many other places in the United States are afflicted with it)—We have escaped not in consequence of a favourable change in our atmosphere, not because our gutters are more frequently washed and greater precautions to remove filth from the streets adopted, not because the common sewers have been cleansed and the ducks emptied; but in consequence of the wholesome and rigid quarantine laws, executed by the Board of Health, whose exertions deserve more than the approbation of their fellow citizens; men who have taken every pains in their power and spared none, to carry the law into complete effect, whereby to prevent its introduction from abroad, either by means of shipping or by infected persons; men respectable and industrious and fully persuaded that the yellow fever is not a native of the United States: I say such are the men who ought to constitute a Board of Health, and I hope and trust none but men of those sentiments will ever be placed in that office. It is absurd indeed to appoint characters to execute laws which they believe to be unnecessary—I know the duties are not only arduous but dangerous; yet for the good of the city, I do most ardently hope the present Board of Health will agree to be continued another year, the sacrifices to some of them may be considerable, but the reflection of having under the favour and blessings of a kind Providence, contributed to preserve the health of this flourishing city, and the exclusion from it of yellow fever, will I hope with the approbation of their fellow citizens be to them a stimulating recompense—The smooth and easy title of Doctor Rush, who is a man of considerable influence, will I am afraid continue to have an undue weight on the minds of many, tending to stagger or confound them, and at the same time prevent necessary steps being taken, to guard against the introduction of the fever from the West Indies. Facts are more obvious and satisfactory to the honest enquirer than arguments, and of course shall be brought forward to prove the contagious quality of the yellow fever. The instance in '98 of the family of Johnson at Germantown in which several who had not been near Philadelphia died; the instances of Mr. Wallace and Mr. Pollard, neither of whom had breathed the impure air of this city, but who slept on infected beds at taverns at that distance from Philadelphia fell victims to the fever in the same year, and it is a well authenticated fact, that a vessel from Philadelphia to City Point in Virginia, communicated the disease there, and that twelve or more persons who worked on board the vessel took the fever and died; many other instances if necessary could be advanced to prove the yellow fever highly contagious. I believe every time it made its appearance in Philadelphia particular vessels could be traced to its introduction. It is an incontrovertible fact that the real yellow fever, has always made its appearance along the wharves or near to the river and twice in the most cleanly street in the city, viz. Penn street, it never has appeared in any other than sea ports in the United States, (except where infected persons have removed to) many inland towns are more favourably situated to generate yellow fevers and less attention shown to cleanliness, yet it appears they are exempt. I don't mean to pursue this subject much further at present, as I am not a medical man my remarks are merely confined to facts obvious to most men. I feel considerably interested in the establishment of the origin of the yellow fever, believing it of the
first importance and dreading the unhappy difference of opinion on this subject, until the point is fully established and universally acknowledged, we may expect to be visited and revisited, with this dreadful scourge. I should rejoice if Congress would take up the subject and suspend all intercourse with the West India islands for six months say from May 1 st till November 1 st in next year, which I am of opinion is the most effectual method that can be adopted to fix the fact, otherwise we may eternally be disputing and quarrelling about its origin and every year relaxing in our endeavours to prevent its introduction. This idea I know would meet with strong opposition, but I am convinced it would be attended with much less inconvenience to the commercial interest than is imagined, the good resulting would more than counterbalance the injury to be sustained, and the other six months in the year make up in a great degree for the time lost. If this measure is not adopted, I hope the most strict general quarantine laws throughout the U. States may take place previous to the ensuing summer.
CONTAGION.
Important to Commerce.
Extract of a letter from Halifax, Sept 8th, 1800.
"Presuming that any new Orders or Instructions relative to American or neutral Commerce, may be eagerly sought after by Merchants and others engaged in such Traffic. I have procured the original printed instruction, received per the last Packet from England, by the Judge of the Vice Admiralty Court for this Province; and herewith enclose you a correct copy, just taken, and compared by me with the original.
"It may be necessary further to observe, that, while those Orders tend to encourage such Commerce immediately with Great Britain or Ireland—they will probably be construed into a tacit permission to harras still further the trade carried on by neutrals with the enemies of those countries.—At any rate, vessels not provided with the Certificates mentioned in this order, will be liable to interruption in their voyages, to be carried into port by English cruisers, (public and private)—and probably in many instances, will be condemned in courts of Admiralty, where the property is not undoubtedly proved to be neutral—the burthen of which proof will be thrown on the claimants.
"We have now lying in this harbor a number of vessels with American colours flying, sent in, under different pretences, for examination—I can truly say that the fight is very disagreeable to me, and I sincerely wish that the two countries (Great Britain and America) may come to a better understanding with each other."
GEORGE R. Instruction to our Courts of admiralty, and to commanders of our Ships of War and Privateers. Given at our Court at St. James's, the twelfth day of June, 1800, in the Fortieth Year of our Reign.
WHEREAS by an act passed in the present Session of Parliament, intitled, An Act to permit the importation of Goods and Commodities from Countries in America, belonging to any Foreign European Sovereign or State, in Neutral Ships, until the Twenty-ninth day of September, One Thousand Eight Hundred and One." We are authorized to grant Licences for the Importation into this Kingdom, from any Country in America, belonging to any Foreign European Sovereign or State, any Goods or Commodities of the Growth or Produce, whether manufactured or otherwise, of any such Country, not prohibited to be used or consumed in this Kingdom, under certain Restrictions, in any Ship or Vessel, belonging to any State in Amity with Us;—We are therefore graciously pleased to direct, that Neutral Ships coming with such Cargoes, under the Protection of our Special Licences, granted under the Authority of the said Act, shall not be interrupted in their Voyages by our Cruisers, and Private Ships of War, upon producing the Licences so granted; and if they should be brought into our Ports for Adjudication, they shall be forthwith liberated by our Courts of Admiralty, upon its being shown that the Claimants have obtained such Licences, and have conformed to the Regulations prescribed therein.

Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern parts of the United States; particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preferred their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases deemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may 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 perspiration 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 celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances. The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infalible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases not one in a hundred had had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not halt a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed. SOLD BY WM. Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17, South Second Street, And no where else, in Philadelphia. Where else may be had, Dr. Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, his Sovereign Elixir for coughs, &c.
