The great variety of symptoms and Tonus of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution und habits of the sufferers; but as the c ause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that Is competent to overcome or remove that cause. lty the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tlio same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between o)e posites, tliei is In the preparation before us. offered to the public. The \idanil Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the pcison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air. and when taken inter nally completely purifies tier system nffocted by it of its baneful intinenee, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known to any lint the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly check the ague in persons aim have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by cOntlnnlng its use, according to the direc tions. a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary, in its operation upon tin- poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility mul Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede eines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may lie banished front every family and elans in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may lie using this arti cle as a Prevent i vc, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Bim e the introduction of the CURE In every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, beranso all the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether seieutiiic or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, Hitch as Arsenic, ((niniitc. Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse titan the disease they subdue, und when suelt remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superaddod to the poor sufferer’s lirst complaint. On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any secret. Fever ami Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, its a proof that tile Keniudy is not only valuable on account of its power so cure diseases, hut that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Ilanulcssness, Tito following certificate from one of the most celebrated cl lists in the United States lias been obtained, ami a copy of it is attached to every bottle : New Yoke, June 11. 1855. ••1 have made a chemical examination of llhodes’Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to .Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either ill it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlio constitution. “JAMES it. CHILTON, M. I)., Chemist.” It ii a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Itcmcdy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, hut to do unequally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Uemedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance. This is owing to tlio diseases being produced by one an I the same cause, und therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent, attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison licforo it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet ami habits of life prepared liy u distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It w ill often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or uiitihilious purgative.

This inode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations.
