Remarks on Fevers In General*
Oil this subject l wish to he fully understissl. By the
term “fevers.” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, inc luding small jsix
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
ami habits, they of course differ considerably in tln-ir
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that of undue excitement in thu circulatory ami
nervous systems —inducing mure or less iiiiliatiii al fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly ulone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrafed l’rol. T. Watson,
..l King’s College, London, whose work on the “ J’-rinci
ples and l’ractico Os I’hysic” is a text hook in many of
mil- medical colleges, and consequently standa rd authority.
On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in
aud out of the profession, different species of fever spin
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever,
\i‘. Aud systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (iastro-Knteric, and
• i forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect ii|hiii the
mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that ran he relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
Tlio above Is a great fact, out’ worthy of remembrance
nml I would impress on your miuds the folly of limiting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
lever, trout it nt onro as hereafter ilirortoil, mid you
mill be. well instead of any distiuctcliaractcr lioing devcl

lions or visions of mind, but on oxporionce nt the bed
-ide of tlio sick, in hundreds, aye, tliousands of cases
rhy myself and others) under n great variety of cir
-1 llinstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to mime, and rest
assured you will sisiu be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have be-
in developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
ns briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attenilanee upon the sick.
Utiles important to be observed in nil cases in usimj Hie
Negative. Jilectric Fluid.
Ist. It should ho given in three or four times its mi 11
quantity of water, ami may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must he free from all currents of air,
(though there should always he free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
ilogins to rise again, should such be the ease under any
circumstances.
Ith. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
he left perfectly quiet: free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till tlieir men natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous Influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation he allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, liut he left
quiet to till intents and purjHtsc.s.
6th. fluids should he allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as tho patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, cither
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
flth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness w hile in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed oil, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face ami
breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

There is no particular cure necessary in giving it to

Where the fever is very high, pulse running lltl or

-Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
tally developed, a little patience will 1> required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but u few days
w ill bo necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
Tlio treatment should he commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a t c as| toon fill of “ Fluid*’ every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
once iu six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.

Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola
Una; or Small Pox, Varlololtl, Measles,
and Scarlet Ktver.
As all of these diseases are attended with lever, which
ill lai-t is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common levers. Ueinembci
never wait In learn the “ name,” whether it IS unu or tin
other, or neither, a. they all commence with Acer, hut
treat it at nure; govern the fever and there will he no
trouble; there will he but liitti aujdhm even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridletlle by many. I nevertheless
Is,ldly make the assertion, that small pox, il treated as
1 direct, i vi/I I” cal short; attended with but little erup
tion; little „i no pitting, and that there is no necessity ol
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, hut all that I hold niost deal .
besides, on’ this subject, Ihave good authority; that ol
Prof Matson, previously quoted. lie says, page Bi 4:
” Von may abate the force of the eruptive fever, ami
keep down, It is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, &e.” Here Is the admission that it may
he done. I nave not only proven it maybe, but has
in> n done in numerous eases that occurred on hoard
ship. See the account appended.
(live a leus|KKinful or more, according to the urgency
oi tile case, with u dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the l'eversub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
Imt it should he given and repeated sufficiently lo keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any el the ordinary gargles may lx- used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one ease, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and fallens w ere so in m il swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak. and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to unable him to take nour
ishment in alxnit twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, It is doubtless the
best yarylr iu all such cases.
Piiei’lieral or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tile mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need ho entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should ho re
peated ns long as the luver continues, as in other cases.
Tim bow els of course should he attended to.
11l connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
thu ladies, will save them much pain and sniveling. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of tln-ir trials, ill child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to bo appreciated,—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
itsuse; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine know n. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth aud
quiet Ihe system so that one can sleep naturally ami
healthy i hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions ter all cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue and
eontrol it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to he called, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex
pected to control ail organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, und these sohuhl he given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, us they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 eall all else auxiliary treatment.
If the how els are costive, give a cathartic (sec auxili
aries) with the iirst dose, or soon utter, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose: if attended
with diarrhica, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations ofhittcr herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wot in cold water, to the part: if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, w ith great suffering, sponge or hntlie the
w hole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will lx- no trou
ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tellies and stimulants, particularly in low
levers, in nbscuoe of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced: if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he
allayed before any medicine w ill remain on the stomach
to (lousy good: for this purpose I generally give sonic
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose: when the
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” anil a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will lx. astonished nt the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
I'aitie* may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
calluuties, a.-., as physicians are usually partictilar
about n bat is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
When using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will mime n tew of the diffemit ai tieU's of medi
cine I have referred to. viz:—
Cut liu riles.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious. Ac.; anything
know n to lie good for such purposes.
Ilcpatlcs.—Anything known to act outlie liver
particularly, portal circulation anil secretions generally.
Any of tlio articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer w hen used in connection
with the *■ Fluid or while the system is under its ill
ttuenco. And one may choose calomel- another, bine
mass—the third, podopliylliu—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take hi* choice mid be suc
cessful.
Tonics. Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bouo
! set or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such ns cheek the action of the
hoivels. Laudanum anil other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which liuve tlie effect.
Mlmii Ia uis.—Articles Unit raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Ouyciinc pepper) is one of the best ;
gitiget, spirits, liurtsliorn, &c., tlie essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in Ircnting levels, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better dia
phoretic,” “auixlyue,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in tlio materia meihca.
I shall not tax the render with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will’
only refer to one instance of success, that on the

WHICH HAVK A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MAIjAH-IA Oil MIASMA.
riMIi.SK diseases are common to many localities of the
I United Stales; hut wherever they prevail, North,
South, Fast or West, they all equally spring from the
same iniasuial cause. The great variety ofsymptonis and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; hut as the ‘
cause is the same, they will all equally yield ton remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
||y the laws of Nature, every principle Ims its opposite,
aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or in oilier words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, .stagnant water, decompo
sition of n ll iiiin 1 and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a pci
son tli suing in ttie atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance with tliosu unalterable laws
governing tin- unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, liiere is in the preparation before us, offered to
tin- public.
Tln; Natural Antidote to Mularta,
which neutralizes the poison w henever it conus in con
tact with il. even in the open aiv. and when taken inter
nally completely purilies the system affected by it of its
baneful inlllienee, and thus restores mid preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, ami un
known to any Imt the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly check the ague iu persons who have
suffered tin- any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will he 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 ttie poison ill the system, it will
immediately relieve all file distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
Gencrul Debility aml Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
lines. The patient at oticc begins to roever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague limy he banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, und alt laboring people may lie using this arti
cle us a
Preventive,
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.
Si nee tliu 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 those declarations were made, at the dutc of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all the resources if
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and wiiat was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, Midi as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saliciue. Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and wlicusuch remedies fail, or give only
leuiiioraiy relief, tlieir poisonous effects are superadded
to tfie poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and 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 iijxm destructive poisons.
Now . as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence.
Because of its
Singular und Knfirc Harmlcssness,
The following certificate from one of tins most celebrated
chemists in the United States lms been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
Njeiv York, June 11, 1855.
“1 have made a diemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either iu it, nor have I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES K. CHILTON, M. 1)., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally gixxl work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is us 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 the diseases being produced liy one and
tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of tliis preventive, and not wait for tiie poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself iu a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, aud so destroy
tlie poison before it docs harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by u distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tlie
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary; or there is costiveness, it just he taken
or flic operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution*—lu certain specified cases, poin
tin’ contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
aud also tlie air watted across, or circulated over tlie
dregs of it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract
ami destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
Tliis mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants arc exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which tliis medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aiiee Cere” Mown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reuance for its beccess is entirely iron its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will !’ considered sufficient.

J. S. PEMBERTON & CO.,
HAVE received tlie appointment from the proprietor
for the sole agency of
Woodman'** Cherry Expectorant,
the medicine that lias created such an excitement at the
North among the Physicians, and lias been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of tlie Yellow Jesomine.
tlio pure deeix'lion of Wild Cherry Dark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far bettor than any
other Cough Medicine in this country.

New Orleans. April p, lsoo.
Deal Sir—Tlie public generally are fully aware of the
thousand* of remedies fur Diseased Lungs, under tlie titles
ot Siusapaiillas, Pills, Plasters. Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to tlieir notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. Sy object in writing tliis note
for publication, is to induce tlie public, or at least those
wlio are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Real t'se in I'uhnimary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofcssiunally, and dorogu
torily to the interests of Medical Science and tin* regular
Practitioner* of Medicine, 1 refer to Woodman's Cherry
Exix-ctorant, which is a scieittitic remedy tlmt 1 have
used with more success than any of the ‘usual prescrip
tion* s-ed Ivy i’ll VKieian*.

Eh El. Woodman—Dear Stir; 1 have given your ( berry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects; letter than tiny other article 1 ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by tlie Ix'iirer. Itespeetfuilv.
W. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation bus at taitied a wide celebrity from
tlie universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its (xx'ulisr properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
w ill probably be preferred to anv other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it w ill
also lie found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Uongh Medicine that
lias stoixl the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended bv the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle ‘is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. Wc guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherrv Pectoral. Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant.

ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA;
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.

See wbat the President of the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Curb, or An
tidote to Malaria:
St. Lous, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAVING noticed tlie certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in favor of Rhodes’ FevtT and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for the medicine. Since then I liuve disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of tliis city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to w hom 1 can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied ill recommending it to lie all that
tlie proprietor represents.

Providence, June 29. 18 bo.
Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who lias nut been fro e from l ever aml
Ague a month at a time for the last twelve years, I sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health anil strength, and us four months
lnivc now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma
nency of the cure.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just scut
an order to Ames A ilalliday for another half gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure. It lias sold like Ilot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I have heard of a ease 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. I bad one ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me “ii tlie sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Dr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It lias not
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled witli the distress
ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one
bottle of the Cure. Please send ns immediately four
dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN.

Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhode* —Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it lias 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 thnt time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing y .iur m ‘dieine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours.

Evidence from a Clergyman.
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 months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Curo and lias not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got it bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a PJiy.sic.ian.
Montickllo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been ill the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
per feet success. Respectfully yours.
W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. K., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A. HAY'LES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of tlie CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. It. Chilton. of New Yolk, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
tlie Fever aud Ague or not, just as they please.
1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers are those who a yew 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 the letters
of which 1 publish su -li immense quantities are always
new and late dates —altogether they would more than
till any newspaper, aud prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tile CrowniligGlory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use us a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child in the 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.
1( is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whoso constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
