s-- :
we have no authentic copy of this
most important State Paper, the very ba
sis,that supports the proud column Of A.
merican Liberty none, at least, ON which
the eye of,taste can rest, for a moment,
with satisfaction. Why here scs not z
The English nation, still proud OF
theit Magma Chartar, though every pro-
vision If contains has been trampled upon
by the bold ambition of their rulers, have
published edition. alter edition of this IN.
sfrume Mt, each more splendid than Its
predecessor. Sir William Blackstone
mas collated and commented on it-his
hne copy of Magma Chartar has been eS-
celled by latter specimens OF art, asd the
fac-siniles of the scales and signatures
have made every reader of taste IN 6reat
British acquainted, in some degree, not
merely with the state of knowledge and
of art at the period in question, but with
the literary attainments, also, OF Ming
John, King Henry, and their Bafons
boid.''
Surely the Declaration OF American
independence is, at least. as we'll entl-
tied to the decorations Of art as the Mag
ma Chartar of England and If the tac-sl-
miles of the signatures of the patriots who
signed it we're published in America. It
would serve to crafty curiosity, at least
rs laudable as that which calls Tor lnlta
ions of the correspondents OF Junins, OF

glish Charter from the reluctant monarch

We are FIRMLY persuaded that the more
the principles Of our Declaration OF indie

ct the world. the more they will be all
mired, by foreign nations as we'll as oul
own and every innocent and honest de,
vice that may serve 10 attract attens'o"

the great cause Of public liberty. Suet
an embellished edition as will render II
an ornament to an apartment, will have
a tendency to spread the knowledge OF

otherwise have turned their thoughts ou'
lightly towards the subject. Such an e

HAMTLTON'S WORM DIES
TROYING LOZENGES.

Which have cured an immense num-
Der of persons of both sexes, OF every age
and in every situation: OF various dan
geroes complaints arising from worms,
and from distractions Or f0ulness In the
stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy what
ever to others of similar titles SO com
monty complained Of, as operating with
violence; on the contrary, a particular
excellence OF this remedy is its being
suited to every age and constitution. 1T
contains nothing but what's perfectly IN
nocent, and is also mild in its operation,
cannot iniure the most delicate pregnant
lady or the tendercst infant OF week old,
should no worms exist III the body; but
will, without pain or gripping, cleanse the
stomach and bowels, of whatever is toul
Or offensive, and thereby prevent the pro-
Iouc,ion of worms, and many fatal dis
orders. The lozenges are particularly
efficac;ous in carrying off all gross hu-
mours and cruptions, fcyc:lsh and bilious
complaints, and are the safest and mild
est purgatiye that can be ased On any
occasion.
DESCRIPTION OF WORMS.
And the symptoms by which they are
known:
Worms which infest the human body,
are chiefly of four kinds, viz.-Ihe Ie-
Tres. or large round worm ; the Ascarl
Ides. or small maw-worm the Cucurbl
tina. or short, fiat, white worm ; and
lastly, the Tenia, or tape-worln, so cal
led from its resemblance to tape. This
is often many va DIS long, and is full Of
joints. 1t is most hurtlul and most din
cult to remove.
| Among the Symptoms attending worms
interchangeable breath, especially in
the morning bad and corrupted gums !;
.tching in the nose, and about the seat ;
convuIsions, epileptic fits, and sometimes
privation of speech; starting and grind
Ing of the teeth in sleep; irregular appe-
tite, sometimes loathing food, and some
times voracious !: purging, with Shiny (
fetid stools i; vomiting; large and hard
belly pains and sickness at the sto
mach slow fever, with small and If
regular pulse; dry cough; excessive
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
t.ozenges, which have been constantly
attended with success. in all complaint.
similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occa-)
,ionally during the warm seaeon, will eff
Ifectually prevent F" the vomiting and
Ipureing of chi!drcn''-a dreadful dis
iorder, which annually destroys thou
sands of the infant part of our citizens.
It is likewise the m,ldest and most Ger
tain remedy known. and has restored
TO health and strength great number,
when in an advanced stage OF this fatal
Particular and plain instruc-
lions are given for every part OF the ne
cessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medic;neI
with eagerness; having pleasing appear
ance. and an agreeable taste.
