To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give tinder this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Klectrie Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, w ithout regard to the name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all 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, and these solmld be given while giving the *• Fluid,” and in connection with it. when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost.

By llie laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause ot disease, there is a re agent. or m 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 tin* same iu character and effect; is u poi son lloat in;’ in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it.* In a*■corilamv with those unalterable laws governing tin* unerring allinfty subsisting between op posites. liiev i- hi the preparation before us. offered to tile, public, Tlif Natural Antidote to Aliiluria, which mtitraliz**rt tin* poison whenever it comes in con hut with it. even m the open air. ami when taken inier nally completely pmDies the system affected by it of its bau*lul in line uc and thus restores and preserves health.

Since the introduction ot the CUKE in every ‘pan oi the United Slates, its success Juis been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When tin s** declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, tin y seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources. c f science bad been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and w bat was. still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such a.s Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Falicim*. &c. The effects of these are sometimes w orse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire supenUlded to the poor sufferer’s lirst complaint. On I Ills account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Lever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may bo taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons.

M. 1).. Chemist.” It ii a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only t relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do unequally good work hy 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 as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed ns the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is ow ing to the diseases being produced by one an l the same cause, and 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 ns a preventive, and so destroy the poison befbfc it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Lhysician long resident in :i Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antihilious purgative.

RECOMMENDATIONS. Nkw Orleans. April ‘J, isss. Deni* Fir—The public generally are fully aware of the j thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles I of Sar-upai illas. Pills. Plasters. Liniments. Am., that are I daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by way of advertisements. My object in writing this note for publication, is to induce the public, or ut least ’those who arc afflicted, to u>e one that contains articles of | h Vo/ t'se in 1 *uit/umary Diseases . lam conscious Mint in so doing, 1 am acting most unprofossionally. and derogu torily to the interests of Medical Fcience and the regular Practitioners of Medicine. 1 refer to Woodman** Cherry Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have used with more success than any of the usual prescrip tions used by Physicians. J. M. Maitland, M. p. Gallatin. Mis-.. May 1. 1855. O. 0. Woodman—Dear Fir; 1 have given your Cherry Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef fects; better than any other article l ever met with. I would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot tles by the bearer. Respectfully. W. M. Mahon. M. D. This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from the universal success which has attended its use. For coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints, tlii* medicine, from its peculiar propertiesusa dissolvent and its soothing jKiwer to all irritations of the throat, will probably Ik* preferred to any other offered to the public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it w ill also be fmud excellent, its natural and genial warmth keeping the* digestive powers in proper tone. ReuienilH*r that this is the only Cough Medicine that has stood the test of the ntedieui fraternity. It is .'auc tioned by. approved of, utid recommended by the leading Physicians ot New York city. Every buttle is warranted to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver Oil. or anything else now extant.

If any body desires further evidences, they will find it ill every bottle of the CV'ltF, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the I'nited States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. .1. 11. Chilton, of New Y'ork. 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 lie noticed that the letters ] of which I publish stt ii immense quantities are always new and late dates —altogether they would more than lillany newspaper, aud prove the fact of a greater suc cess mid sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Cvovvning Gtlory of the Cure is its IIARMiKBB CHARACTER, which allows its free use as u preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons. not u man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague. Bilious or A'eltow 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, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened hv Ague or Bilious disease*, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation. .l AAIF.y.
