MAD DOGS.

From the morning papers We learn that
several persons have lately been bitten
mad dogs in this city. A number Of cd ~
hogs and horses have also been bittehJf
some Of which have died with hytiropho-
bia.
feel it my duty to inform the pub
lie on this occasion, and hesitate not TO
take upon myself the responsibility Of do
ing so, that ali who may have the misfor-
tune to be bit by mad dog. may be GER
tain of a cure by application to Mr.. Jesse
Lewis, living in Mamarobeck, county Oh
West Chester. His father, who is now
dead, obtained the knowledge of the rem
edy, from Dr.. Vanderyeer, an cldes
physician Of New-Jersey, many YEAR,
since, and fer trife made the secret
known to Mir. Robert Bovine, of ti.is city,
it is the plant commonly called scnitcap,
which if timely administered, that is any
time before the appearance Of hydropho-
tia, has never been known TO fail.-Ihe
editor has no hesitation in confidently re-
commencing this remedy to the public
because striking instances OF its success
have fallen within his personal Know
ledgc.-Among many others the follow
ing deserves special mention.-About
five years ago, ifmy memory serves me, a
mad dog at Pelham Manor, being small
fayOlite, and running about the house,
bit no less than 12 persons in one family
to these the scullcap was administered by
Lewis, without delay, and no one ever ex-
perienced the least Inconvenience two
hogs in the neighbourhood, were also bit
by the same Dog at the same time, which
were shut up, but nothing was administer
ed: both OF them went mad, and died CT
the hydrophobia.

subject. We should suppose, that
their conduct will be good deal in.
huenced hv the result of Mr.. Pink
ney's enquiries, whether, since the
Presidents proclamation was commu,
nicased to the French government, any
American ships which sailed on the
faith Of that proclamation have been
permitted to enter and discharge their
cargoes without molestation.
An actual revocation of the Berlin
and Milan DEGREES would enable A.
merican merchants who had bought
the produce of our islands, to carry TO
France and sell such pcoduce: but, by
the burning decree, all such produce
IS seized and burnt, because it came
originally from our dominions. Thus
then the Berlin and Milan DEGREES
would be proved to be still unrepealed.
In the case too of America CARRYING
to France the goods she may have
brought herself, fros, the East Indies
OF China, Bopaparte would pretend
tina hey were Originally bought of the
British, aod would seize and dies roy
them. We know not how America
could with any safety carry on trade
with France whilst this burning system
exists. But thar, to b. sure, is a point
wholly Tor her consideration.
