Ily tlie laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in othor words a s{H!eilic remedy.

In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op {Hisite*, there is in tbe preparation before us, offered to tile public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the |ioiaon whenever it comes in con tact with il, even in the o|h-u air, and when taken inter nally completely purities tho system affected by it of its buneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims tin- following extraordinary results from its liso : It will instantly cheek tlie ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be 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 tlie poison in tie- 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 tlie accession of General Debility and Slight Sweats, which o often follow tlie administration of other mede l ines. The patient at once liegins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. by its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, ami ull laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season, w hich is often to thorn tlie most valuable part of tlie year. Since tlie introduction of the CURB iu every part of the United Flutes, its success has been so complete and unvarying us to have fully proved those assertions in favor ofits extraordinary merit. When 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 of science bad been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, till their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have lieen limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Sulicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, und when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects arc superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. Oil this account ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert 11 ley may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that tlieir potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that t lie Remedy is not only valuiiblo <m account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because ofits Singular anti Entire llnimlessiicss, Tlie following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists pi tho United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. ‘•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 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious lo tho constitution. “JAMBS It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” it is a stubborn fact, therefore, Hint this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious discuses, hut to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines w hich doharni. Tho entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy 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 ttie medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an.l the sumo cause, und therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tlio Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished I’bysician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often bo found necessary to pruceile this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use isa moderate dose of Castor Oil. Ihe object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costivruess, it must be taken or tlie operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, poin tin'contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu sleeping mums; lor tlie vapor rising from the medicine, and itl-.ii tlie air watted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degico commensurate w ith its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in thu apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise lie resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in w hich this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Auue Ci re” blown in tho glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tlie medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of the proprietor.

One reason it lias sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. 1 had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.

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

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in tlie family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and lias not liml a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. 0. DUBOIS.

If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible in'.o every town and village in tlie United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist, I)r. J. li. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that tlio letters of which (publish su-li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use us a preventive. Thus protected by using a liottlo or two during the warm and sickly sea sons. not a man woman or child in tlie United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague. Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects ! as a Restorative, giviug new life und strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
