French Tuition, UPON AN ANALYTICAL PLAN.
NICHOLAS GOUIN DUFIE, Professor of the French Language, HAS the honor of informing his Fellow-Citizens of Philadelphia, that he will open his School on Monday the 14th of September, at No. 5, South Fifth Street, and divide his hours of instruction in the following manner. Attendance on Ladies and Gentlemen, at their own houses, will be given as usual, from 9 o'clock in the morning till 2 in the afternoon. His afternoon and evening school will begin (every other day) from 4 to 6, and from 6 till 9. Translations from either language into the other, performed with accuracy, elegance, secrecy and dispatch. N.B.—Nicholas G. DUFIE, respectfully invites the Ladies and Gentlemen, ambitious to learn the French, to agree with some of their friends or acquaintances, desirous of receiving lessons in that universal and improved language, to meet at the same hour and place for mutual instruction—they may be assured it will be to their advantage to do so, if they peruse with attention the following—
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 Chemistry, 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 instructions, such books established on principles that least deviated from her simple dictates. I soon perceived that the method acquired from these aids was 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 2,000—the most natural acceptance 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 servant de lien, or de complement de sens entre les autres paroles 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 acceptance 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 familiar 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 Analogy accomplishes what remains to be done, in order to acquire the necessary knowledge of it. The rules given by Gramarians 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. September 1.

HARCOURT's complaint of the coquetry of his Amanda and of her visible partiality to a weak and coxcombical rival, would not be interesting even to our gayest and lounging readers. The case is not a new one, and though it may deserve compassion, will be pronounced by every woman too common and trite. He, and his favored rival are the Edwin and Sir Topaz of Dr. PARNELL.
"He felt the charms of Edith's eyes, Nor wanted hope to gain the prize, Could Ladies look within; But, one Sir Topaz dress'd with art, And, if a shape can win a heart, He has a hope to win."
The lady, who transcribed and transmitted the beautiful Lines to Sensibility is entitled to crop more of the flowers of Poetry. In the intervals of domestic duty it is more illustrious for a woman to peruse the brilliant and the useful, than to flaunt in public places or to cheapen fans.
Ah, friend to dazzle let the vain design, To raise the thought, and touch the heart be thine.
"Lines from FLORIO" are inadmissible. The rhymes are not legitimate, and we discern neither plan, nor connection in his Poem. FLORIO may continue to scan verses with ten fingers, but he never can be a Bard.
"But, lest you think I rally more than teach, Or praise malignly arts I cannot reach, Let me for once presume to instruct the times, To know the Poet from the man of rhymes 'Tis he, who gives my breast a thousand pains, Enrage, compose, with more than magic art, With pity and with terror tear my heart; And snatch me o'er the earth, or thro' the air, To Thebes to Athens, when he will and where."

Duane says that fifty persons who were under arms in the Legion on Monday, had a share in the battle of Germantown - but he don't say a word about whose army they were in; we know that many of them are recently from Britain and Ireland.
"THE END shall justify the MEANS," Is a maxim of long standing, and universally practiced by the Jacobins. It was this favorite axiom, that urged the charge of Deism against Mr. Rofs, prior to the last election for Governor of Pennsylvania. The basest means were then used, by the Demos and the END was obtained by the election of Mr. Kean. It was a belief of this "Aurora" falsehood, that the election of Mr. Rofs, and although fully and clearly disproved, by the solemn testimony of a Clergyman, and the Vestry of the Church to which he belonged, yet the assertion had its effect, and many honest, worthy farmers, and others do to this day believe the charge, and were induced to vote against him for no other reason, (I must confess, that were the truth of the charge substantiated, it ought to operate against every man). It was by this falsehood, widely circulated, and bodily asserted that the good people of Pennsylvania were deceived, by pretended friends to Republican Liberty; that they did mislead the people, and that their boasted respect for religion is a mere veil to disguise their real views, it is only necessary to observe, that the same characters who opposed Mr. Rofs, as a Deist, and supported Mr. Kean, as a religious man, are now supporting an acknowledged Deist in the person of Jefferson; and we defy all his fatellites to prove the contrary, for out of his own mouth is he condemned. It was at one time given as reason, why Mr. Kean, ought to be elected, because he belonged to the same Church with Adams, and consequently was a good man; - if the it was so necessary to tell the people, to what Church Mr. Kean belonged, why do they not show to what Church Mr. J. belongs, and why do they not bring Certificates to prove him innocent of the crime, as the Federalists did with respect to Rofs; ask them these questions, and they are mute; subterfuge is in vain resorted to - He stands confessed a Deist, and a member of that Church, whose partisans think it of no consequence whether a man believes in Twenty Gods or No Gods. Such the Character whom, the AMERICAN PEOPLE are told is their friend, and are called on to support, as the Chief Magistrate of their country. Let them then make a solemn pause ere they pass the Rubicon.
I trust my countrymen have yet too much real respect for the religion of their Fathers, to place this man in power; the Jacobins are seeking the ruin of our country, and the "means shall justify the end." Unite then Americans, and remember your faithful, and well tried friends, the Federalists, and by giving your votes for Adams, and Pinckney give a deadly blow to aspiring ambition.

DOVER, SEPTEMBER 19, 1800.
AS your paper has a more extensive circulation through this State, than any other, I wish to contradict a Jacobin lie which is gaining ground. They say, that the Methodists who form a very large proportion 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 Methodist Ticket.
A METHODIST.
Representatives to Congress. James A. Bayard, Senator. George Cummins. Representatives. Nicholas Ridgel, James Henry, Henry Molleton, John Lockwood, William Sordou, Stephen Lewis, Manlove Emerion. Coroners. Richard Harrington, William Needles, Levy Court Commissioners. Israel Peterson, John Stout, John Hufur.

Federalists, Attention.
Daring attempt at Usurpation, by the Jacobins.
A writer in the Aurora of this morning, in an address to the electors of Pennsylvania, makes the following proposition to wrest from the Federal Republicans their rights.
EXTRACT.
"We have, therefore, one resource left one to which we can resort, without an infringement of the Constitution: The Legislature may themselves, appoint the Electors. We are, nevertheless, free to declare, that this must be considered as the least eligible mode of making the appointment; in fact, it is at once incapable of being justified, in any case, where there is an opportunity of having a choice made immediately by the people. Yet, as it appears to be the only means left to Pennsylvania, for avoiding the monstrous and degrading injury of a total privation of the right of suffrage, on an occasion of the highest interest to every American freeman; I trust it will be resorted to, and with success. Driven , as this State is, by the enemies of the people's rights to the alternative of either being disfranchised, or of recurring to an appointment of electors by the legislature; no citizen of Pennsylvania can hesitate which to prefer, for although the spirit of the Federal Constitution opposes a weight, and as is conceived an insuperable objection to a legislative appointment of electors, where a choice may be duly made by the People themselves ; that objection is nevertheless removed, in the present instance, on a liberal construction of that instrument, by the extraordinary nature of the case. An appointment being indispensably necessary to the maintenance of our chartered rights; and it being no otherwise practicable, than through the medium of the legislature; every citizen of Pennsylvania who entertains a just sense of this serious consideration will contemplate the probability of the Legislative Representatives of the people being obliged as a measure of unavoidable necessity, to execute this trust for their constituents."

THE POLITICAL CONVERSION, No. III.
MR. EDITOR,
THE magnitude of my professional business, and the consequent hurry and bustle which has of late attended it, have rendered it impossible for me to present this communication to you at an earlier period; my customers will not suffer their horses to wait (tortured with flies and half dead with the heat) until I have finished my political lucubrations; and even if they would, I should not; for I hold it as a good maxim, "never to let politics interfere with my private affairs." In pursuance of this my resolution, I am now, at 11 o'clock at night, endeavoring to prepare this communication for you, surrounded by my wife and children, who are fast locked in the arms of Morpheus.—So much by way of apology; I shall now without farther digression, proceed to my proposed design.
"Ha! you have come at last, cried I, running up to Worthy, "now prove to me the atheism of Jefferson, now disclose the horrid plots, and diabolical plans of the Jacobin party, now—" Soddy Soddy ," replied my friend, do not be so impetuous, and violent, it will be an easy task for me to perform my promise, and I will perform it. On your part however, you must first assure me, that you will possess yourself of sufficient candour, to judge of all things, with an impartial mind, and that you will not permit prejudice, in the least, to influence your opinion." As I rarely form my judgment, without a due examination, I immediately consented to the proposition of my friend, and having seated ourselves, he thus continued. You have no doubt, been principally misled, by the falsehood, and misrepresentations of the Aurora, aided by the malignant and absurd suggestions of disappointed, ambitious, and wicked men. Having no opportunities, you have been able only to skim over the surface of Politics, and to form a precipitate opinion from a partial view of one side of the question. It remains therefore with me to draw aside the curtain, and to place before you a true picture, by exposing to your view, on the one hand, the projects of base, and designing men, who seek to obtain power, by any means; and who would rather reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven; and on the other, men whose only aim is, to preserve inviolate, our invaluable Constitution, from the fangs of these lions, of anarchy, and rebellion; and to guard our sacred rights, and liberties, from every inroad of foreign, and domestic aggression. It is observable to every unprejudiced mind, in his observations upon the movements of the Jacobin party, that their sole aim, is to entirely subvert our present Constitution, and erect upon its ruins, one (as they say) better calculated for the American People, but in reality, one better suited to obtain the objects, for which they have long sought in vain, Wealth and Power. Setting aside for future development, the farther objects of this great design, I will ask, who are the men who thus zealously come forward, offering in the one hand, unheard of liberty, and in the other, a new frame for our Government? Are they Americans; did they share in that bloody strife, which ended in the establishment of our Liberty, and Constitution? Or even, are they men, who by virtuous, and upright actions, have procured the confidence, and gained the esteem of their fellow men? no, they are for the most part, the refuse, and scorn of society, men, who having committed the most atrocious crimes, have fled from impending, and deserved punishment, and have sought, and found, alas, shelter in the arms of deluded America; to whom, to pay their gratitude, they are now sapping her Constitution, and undermining her virtuous Government. By whom, is the Au-
ra, and the rest of Jacobinical Newspapers, upon which, you have so much relied for authority, conducted, and supported? By men, hostile to our liberties, and inimical to our happiness; by degraded wretches eminent only for their crimes, and distinguished only for their infamy; yet these are the persons who boldly advance, and aim their shafts of malice against the most respectable, and sacred characters; these are the men, who offer you an infidel, for Chief Magistrate, in preference, to a virtuous, and steadfast believer in God; these are the assassins, who have sullied the character of our beloved Washington, accused him, of the greatest of crimes, and who have impiously attempted to blast his blushing honours, and tarnish his immortal glory; these are they, who bid defiance to virtue, religion, and God, and now hypocritically promise, to instruct us in the true enjoyment of Liberty, and to erect for us a virtuous government. But here "said my friend, I shall for the present leave you; consider well what I have said. The conversation shall shortly be renewed. I regret exceedingly that my professional avocations, do not permit my staying, any length of time, or of repeating my visits, more frequently—Farewell"—I made no answer, but involuntarily took his hand, and bestowed upon it a most cordial shake, then sat down, and gave myself up to reflection.

MR. WAYNE,
I HAVE seen your request that the author of " Notes on Gallatin " would proceed to a further investigation or listing of the " Genevan Sophist ," and altho' nothing can be more irksome than to follow this mere pretended Fiscal character, through his crazy labyrinth, calculated with such studied confusion, as to render one of the plainest reports that ever was made by a committee of Congress dark and intricate, yet I will nevertheless follow him again, after you have republished the report of the Committee, which I know to be just and true, as it is plain and conclusive. And who are they that can yet rely on the pretended declarations of Gallatin in favor of frugality, while it is so evident that every step he has taken has had a direct tendency to excite more insurrections? Not contented with having put the United States to the expense of a civil war in 1794, he was the principal cause of the continuance of retraining laws which prevented our arming the moment we were seriously insulted by the French in 1796, by which, according to the apostate Barlow we funk at least 20 millions. Add to this, Duane acknowledges that Gallatin furnished him with most of the lies he published respecting the Public Debt, &c. Time will not permit me to say more at present, than that the two pamphlets of Gallatin are the most barefaced and the most wicked attempts to deceive that ever were offered to an insulted public.

MR. EDITOR,
THE enclosed on a controversy, which at present engrosses much of the attention of your readers; and which demands the united talents, the zeal, & the indignation of the defenders of the religion of our forefathers, will I trust find a place in your paper; not that they contain anything extremely new, but when it is recollected that they are the opinions of, or approximated by that pious christian and profound Scholar, Doctor Johnson, they must be an appalling host of evidence to the rooted in error and a convincing proof to the wavering and unsettled.
B.
"WHERE there is a controversy, concerning a question in antiquities, or any other subject, in which human happiness, is not deeply interested, a man may treat his antagonist with politeness and even respect. But where the controversy is concerning the truth of religion, it is of such vast importance to him, who maintains it, to obtain the victory, that the person of our opponent ought not to be spared. If a man firmly believes that religion is an invaluable treasure, he will consider a writer who endeavours to deprive mankind of it, as a robber; he will look upon him, as odious, though the Infidel may think himself in the right. A robber who reasons as the gang do in the " Beggars Opera ," who call themselves practical philosophers , and may have as much sincerity as pernicious speculative philosophers, is not the less an object of just indignation.
An abandoned profligate may think that it is not wrong to debauch my wife; but shall I therefore, not detest him? And if I catch him making an attempt, shall I treat him with politeness? No I will kick him down stairs, or run him through the body: that is, if I love my wife, or have a true rational notion of honour."
Of the censure pronounced from the pulpit our determination must be formed, as in other cases, by a consideration of the action itself, and the particular circumstances with which it is invested. The right of censure, and rebuke seems necessarily appertaining to the pastoral office. He to whom the care of a congregation, is entrusted, is considered as the Shepherd of a Flock, as the teacher of a School, as the father of a family. As a Shepherd tending, not his own sheep but those of his master; he is answerable for those that stray, and that lose themselves by straying. But no man can be answerable for losses which he has not power to prevent, or for vagrancy which he has not authority to restrain.
As a teacher given instruction for wages, and liable to reprobate if those whom he undertakes to inform make no proficiency, he
must have the power of enforcing attendance, of awaking negligence, and repressing contradictions. As a father he possesses the parental authority of admonition, rebuke and punishment. He cannot without reducing his office to an empty name, be hindered from the exercise of any practice necessary to stimulate the idle, to reform the vicious, to check the petulant, and correct the stubborn. It is true that the minister has no longer the power to press into the retirement of conscience, to torture us by interrogations, or put himself in possession of our secrets and our lives. But though we have thus controuled his usurpations, his just and original power remains unimpaired. He may still see, though he may not pry; he may yet hear, though he may not question. And that knowledge which his eyes and ears force upon him it is still his duty to use for the benefit of his flock. A father who lives near a wicked neighbour, may forbid a son to frequent his company. A minister who has in his congregation a man of open and scandalous wickedness, may warn his parishioners to shun his conversations. To warn them is not only lawful; but not to warn them would be criminal. He may warn them one by one in friendly converse, or by a parochial visitation. But if he may warn each man singly, what shall forbid him to warn them altogether? Of that which is to be made known to all, how is there any difference whether it be communicated to each singly, or to all together? What is known to all, must necessarily be public.—Whether it shall be public at once, or public by degrees is the only question. And of a sudden and solemn publication the impression is deeper, and the warning more effectual. *****
The following paragraphs selected from London papers to August 10, will be found worthy of notice.
Three Quakers arrived at Weymouth on Thursday; they accosted his Majesty, and told him a young friend of theirs, lately from Philadelphia, expressed a wish to see the King and his family; they all met his Majesty on Saturday on the Esplanade. The American having held some conversation with the King, he took off his hat and rising a short distance, offered up a long prayer for the safety of his Majesty and his house, and in consequence of his escape from the late attempt against his life, concluding his prayer with a fervency that the Almighty would bless our Sovereign, & continue him long to be the father of the little island, and the happiness of his people.
It is currently reported and generally credited at Hamburg, that the Court of London, is upon the point of a perfect reconciliation with the Emperor Paul. What renders this desirable event more credible is, that the armed neutrality is no longer the topic of discourse.
Under the Frankfort head of July 22, we find the following paragraph:
"To facilitate the conclusion of a peace, Buonaparte will himself repair to the vicinity of the place where the Congress is held, and will be accompanied by the Minister of foreign affairs, Talleyrand."
Accounts from Dresden say, that two great foreign powers will no longer view with indifference the progress of the French in Germany, and the run of the continent, to promote the advantage of certain maritime connections.
The report that Buonaparte had written to the King of Sardinia to return to his dominions, in the most flattering terms, is unfounded.
Our accounts from Egypt by last mail, state the renewal of hostilities to have been even more calamitous than had been before represented; as, instead of only ten thousand men having fallen in the battle with Kleber, the Turks lost upwards of twenty thousand by the sword, and by subsequent hunger, thirst and fatigue in the desert.
Among the numerous persons who fell into the hands of the French general at the battle of Cairo, was Mr. Morea, secretary to the British embassy to Constantinople, who experienced from Kleber, and from the other generals, the most distinguished attention & kindness.
The account of the detention of the Danish frigate and her convoy, was on the 6th, communicated by the telegraph to Paris, where it is laid. Denmark, though goaded by Russia and Sweden, is averse to take any step against England, from the apprehension of her eastern possessions.
The object of the expedition which failed from Portsmouth on Wednesday, and comprised about 10,000 soldiers, continues to be, as it ought, a profound secret. Every thing that distinguished gallantry can achieve may be expected from them.
Admiral Mitchel and the squadron he commanded are it is stated to receive two hundred thousand pounds sterling for the ships taken at Helder.
The Liberty which the French seem to be giving to Piedmont, is that freeing the people from being bound by fortresses, all which, the most beautiful and celebrated in the world, are ordered to be demolished, that Piedmont may hereafter afford a free entrance to every plundering foreign army.
Pope Ganganelli in one of his letters, compares Italy to a fine picture, of which the Alps formed the frame. Where he now alive, how would it affect the heart of a good old man, to see this picture so disfigured.
The harvest throughout France promises to be more productive than in any other year since the commencement of the Revolution.
Another prosecution for forestalling and regrating comes before the Court of King's Bench next term—Lord Kenyon has refused 2000l. bail for the individual, who is renowned in the trade.
Fifty dollars to the amount of a million sterling, brought from Jamaica by the Brunswick man of war, for the use of the merchants, were conveyed to the Bank in three waggons.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the ship Chiusa, capt. Josiah, dated Batavia Roads, 17th April 1800.
"We made Java Head in 86 days, from Reedy Island; saw nothing on our passage we could not leave or come up with; no ship ever behaved better, she is a most easy, excellent sea boat.
"The William Penn has failed for Calcutta, Camilla, for Canton, and I am told it is uncertain if we load here, owing to some regulations which have lately taken place, obliging all vessels to take certain quantities of sugar &c. Canton has been mentioned as our destination—a freight is offered there. We are landing our outward cargo. Our stay here will be but short; great dispatch is used. There are two American vessels here. We are all well.
From the ALEXANDRIA MIRROR.
The account we gave in our last, relative to the conspiracy of the Negroes in this town and the adjacent counties, was only an incorrect and hasty sketch, the minutiae of this diabolical plot not having then come to light. But since the evidence, upon which the criminals were condemned, and their confessions since, have been detailed to us, we find that the ground for public alarm was extremely serious.
The plan of operations to be pursued by the conspirators, as it comes out in the evidence on the trials, was formed by two Frenchmen (as yet unknown) in this place; and every Frenchman, in the general massacre of the whites that was meditated, was to have been spared. Their object was to have seized on the magazine of arms, &c. deposited at the penitentiary house, on the treasury, &c. and to have commenced an indiscriminate slaughter (the French only excepted.) They were then to have issued a proclamation to the negroes, to come and rally round their standard at the metropolis. Had they succeeded in their attempt (which was happily frustrated by the deluge of rain that fell and rendered the water courses impassable on the evening fixed upon for the execution of their scheme) it is hardly possible to say how extensive and how terrible might have been its consequences.
There appears to have been great exertions among the conspirators immediately in this neighbourhood; and from papers found on some of them, it would seem that a correspondence was carried on with Philadelphia, as well as with the towns of Petersburg, Norfolk, &c. in this state. From the whole complexion however of this daring project, it is evident that the French principle of liberty & equality have been infused into the minds of the negroes; and that the incautious and intemperate use of these words by some whites amongst us, have inspired them with hopes of success. What effects this awful business will have on the public mind, must depend on the calm reflection of our countrymen.
Last Friday five of the Negroes concerned in the conspiracy, and determined the day before to be hanged, were executed at the gallows, near this city, pursuant to their sentence—Yesterday five more were executed at the same place, pursuant to their sentence. Several others have received sentence of death, and will be executed in a few days. The trials are still going on.

The accuracy of Mr. Gould's Patent Log I wish to acquaint all my brother seamen, with; I therefore certify, that the United States Frigate Boston, under my command, ran from the Race Point of Cape Cod to Boston Light-house in three hours.

It measured 14 leagues and one mile, and I have not the doubt, that is the only machine which will measure the distance with accuracy. Yours, &c.

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 inven- tor's feelings, in several parts of the West In- dies and the southern parts of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Rich- mond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charles- ton, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a num- ber 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, preserved 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 preva- lence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and bey- ond 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 su- perfluous 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 other 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 attend- ant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
