`THIS invaluable restorative has been administered
,
1 in Private practice, with the greatest success, for a series of
years, to you'd' and age of either sex. Where . the atom test is dis-
ordered, the body is weakened; paleness, bodily decay, emaciatitm,
and the eyes sink luto the head ; where nervous, asil.ni",tte, anti
hypochondriacal complaints, have shattered the constitu ion, in
steki less of stom leis, violet.t I.l.llgings, fiatuleicies and ob Aruziims,
it,is a safe and elizackuus remedy. 'I he first symptoms of its good
effects are serenity and cheerfulness, by removing bead-ache,
weakness, heavinessandlownes; of sr it t 4, dirnaris of siAt, con-
fined thoughti, and wanderings of the mind, vapours and melan-
choly, and all kinds of hysteric complaints.
Also, the celebrated AN fl-IMPE. I IC INES, or SOLOMON's
DROPS, a safe, salutary, and certain Cure fur the Scurvy.—Few

whether from latent or recent iafection, is certain to produce t' e
greatest injury to the constitution, and prevent the enjoyment of.
health and happiness. To remove the cause of tiers: e symptoms, the
Anti-hnpetigines, or Solomon's Drop*, have been found to be th t
most safe, speedy, and beneficial, awl therefore adapted to the
aged as well as youth of bath stx.es., They neverfail to remove
every species of debilb y arising from a contaminated state of the sys-
tem. l'heir effects are mild though active—cafe yet expeditious-and
i what renders this medicine of the greatest importance, is, It re-
iquirt, s little restriction in point of diet, and no privations to the
ordinary avocations in life. In short, it may be taken at this sea-
• son of the year by the valetu linarian, however delicate, without
the least dancer, and with the certainty of deriv.ug the most be-
1, neficial ar.d happy effects.

particular branch of their profession has not given rise to one
unsuccessful case.

'They coutfnue to direct their studies to the treatment and cure

which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful effects of

his advanced cavalry this movement; and although
the Spaniards and allies, under the command of
Conde de Penne, endeavoured to overtake them) a
fev; shots only were exchanged between our advanced
parties, and the sharp-shooters of the enemy's rear-
guard that day marched to Torreanaha, and Conde de
Penne remained in Caceres, with the main body of the
van guard.
On the 27th, before light, the English cavalry
marched from Malpartida towards Alcuiscar, and
General Conde de Penne took the same direction
with the van-guard. At eight the following mor-
ning, the allied infantry and artillery followed the
route of the horse, and all Ate troops united at night-
fall in the village of Alcuiscar. Upon arriving at it,
sve found, to our great astonishment, that the division
of General Girard was in Arroyo de Molinas, a vil-
lage situated at a short league distance from Alcuis.
car, which, when General Hill had ascertained, -he
?Wade proper dispositions for attacking them the fol-
lowing day.
'" At two in the morning of the 28th, the troops
moved for this purpose ; the weather was horrible,
but the heavy rain and strong wind which was in
our backs, was reatly favourable to us. The troops
marched with > ixtmo'st precision, notwithstanding
othe difficulties w ch night and the tempest presented;
and before day, General Hill was directing the co-
lumns of attack, in a valley at a short distance from
Arroyo de Molinas, without the enemy having the
least suspicion of our proximity.
" At seven in the morning we
.set out from that
-point to attack ihe enemy in Arroyo de Molinas. A
column of the allied infantry, with which proceeded
the Artillery, marched upon the place; another, for-
med of Spanish infantry, directed by Brigadier Mo..
rillo, took a direction to flank the place upon the
left ; and a third column of allied infantry proceeded
by the right, to cut off the enemy from the roads of
Merida and Medillin, and attack them from that
point. Our cavalry,-conducted by Conde de Penne,
marched upon the rightof this last column, and the
British horse on the left of the same. Thus disposed,
and in the finest order imaginable, our troops march-
ed upon the place, 'and in a few moments saw the
enemy, who had scarcely got oet cf it, by the road
of Merida.—To see, attack, defeat, and completely
disperse them, without firing a shot, wasbut the work
of an instant. Nothing could equal the baldness and
valour of the Spanish and allied troops employed on
this occasion, and to this is owing that the enemy
was so completely surprised, though • formed and in
march, that alley could make no disposition, not do
any thing else than fly, surrender, or die. _
" General Girard, with some part of his infantry,
succeeded in gaining a mountain very close to the
'road, but pursued thither by my infantry, and part
of the allies, almost all his were killed or made priso-
ners in the course of the day, and he himself being
wounded, fled through the mountain with an hand.
ful of men ; it is still possible he may fall into our
power.
" The result of this glorious action has been 1,400
prisoners • among them the Duke D'Aremberg, the
General Of Brigade,-Brun; the Chief of the Stiff.
two Commandants, and 30 officers ; 400 men were
left dead upon the field of battle, among whom were
the General of Brigade, Dombrousky, and 20 offi-
cers. We took all their artillery ; one stand of co-
lours were taken by the British troops ; and by those
under my command the flag of the 40th infantry of
the line, which I have -the honour of transmitting
your Excellency, and an immense number of mus-
kets, swords, knapsacks, and horses, together with the
whole of the bliggage and equipage of the divisi' n.
The enemy likewise lost an eagle, but we have not
yet been able to find it.
a The simple narration of this action, and move-
Inents anterior to it, will be sufficient to enable all
Military men to do due justice to the profound know-
ledge displayed by General Hill during this opera-
tion,to which is entirely owing the glory ofso complete
and signal an advantage ; but it is requisite to have
been in it to properly appreciate the valour, bravery,
and ardour of the British troops, Generals, Chiefs, and
Officers ; their conduct was above all eulogium.
" Our loss in all does not exceed 20 killed, and 100
wounded, and such ever must be the result of deci-
ded attacks, prepared by a wise combination. I can-
not omit informing your Excellency of the repeated
proofs of consideration and respect which I have
constantly received from General Hill, nor be silent
upon the ino.irestarhich this worthy General and all his
army take in the sacred cause in which we are en-.
gaged. Goa preaerve your Excellency, &c.
