Since tin- introduction of tlie CL UK in every part ot the L'nitod .States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. M lien these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all tlie resources if science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat was still worse lor ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, sucli as Arsenic, Quinine, -Mercury, Salicfne, Ac. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s lirst complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notw ithstauding the makers of them uniformly assert they may lie taken with perfect safety, even w hen it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular ami Entire Harmlcssncss, Tlie following certificate from ouo of tlie most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evety bottle: Nnw York, June 11, 1555. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ 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 in it, nor have Ifound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. -JAMES B. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that tiiis Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to ilo mi equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do barm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a prevent ivo. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an.l the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves hy the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself iu a violent attack. Take the Cure as u preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and liubits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.

Since then 1 have disposed of a large quantity, mostly to residents of tiiis city, who have inva riably bt-cu cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer, i am, therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be nil tlmt the proprietor represents.

Having been informed of tile illness of a poor, but worthy woman, who has not been fre c from Fever and Ague a month at a time for the last twelve years, I sup plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure. She took iu all four liottles wbicli completely re stored her to health and strength, and as four months have now elapsed, there is ho reason todoulit the perma nency of the cure. • C. A. P. MASOF.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured hy your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on tlie Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment 1 adopted, my health grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time 1 have not had a single chill, and am now in tlie enjoyment of good health.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept, 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir —I cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in tlie family of a clergyman here lias been taking an •• AGUE BALSAM” for sonic months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam somo time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, ltev. A. C. DUBOIS.

If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CUKE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas. Ac. Tlie eminent chem ist. Dr. J. B, Chilton, of New Y'ork, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with ajl to have the Fever and Agile or not, just as they please. 1 cun also say that u great many of thy largest custo mers are those who u year ago were reluetunt even to take tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not ho realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish sit -It immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory of the Cpre is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected hy using a bottle or two during tfie warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United St.itcs would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising front tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened liy Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
