The uleiie reasons are more partieularly applicable to
tbs immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apgly with equal force to cases which have been subject

•o the nature of the case at the time ft is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief. In all ordinary eases, when used soon after
(be attack, person* can searcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
i little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of esnsequeuos—it, would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had noeflect.” The general
impression on the Subject of fever Is such, that thoughts
not unlike the (above follow the cure of a common case
IS naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
i he individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully
realize the truth: and even then lie may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
1.1 any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
b en thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
• peel that there will cases isicur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though successful in reducing the fever,
it will again rise ns the influence of the •• Fluid'’ passes
• ill, the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
i rainst disappointment in such eases that f have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.'’
lie marks on Fevers In (itneral-
Ho this subject I wish to be fully understood. By the
lerm “fevers,” I Comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
.tnd other eruptive fevers; hut as tin y arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general cluiracter
isticM—that oi undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skill,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
uivancc. I quote from the celebrated i’rof. T. Watson,
ot King's College, London, whose work on the “ I'rinci
pies ami Practice of Physic” is u text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthorily.
Hu page B,'J4. lie says:—“We bear continually, both in
old nut of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. lly the public. Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, I’utrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic w riters are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-Enterio, and
-o torth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that, the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
-i ribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
Irneeahlo to the same cause.”
The above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
xml I would impress on your mimlß the folly of bunting
op or troubling yourself about a “ name;’’ if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, mid you
mV /*• mil instead of any distinetcharaetur being devel
oped, so us to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
ddo of the sick, In hundreds, aye, thousands of eases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at oncq without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as rases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, cither by
neglect, or under some other treatment, l will describe
xs briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of tlio most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Kales important to he observed in all cases, in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its ow n
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
‘Ad. Patients must he free from all currents at air,
(though there Hhould always he free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its iti
tlncnoe.
:iil. It must he continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to he resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such he the ease under any
circumstances.
lib. When the fever begins to subside,patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not lie questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise, whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation lie allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, hut he left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
nth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
titli. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so us to occasion a
restlessness after tile lever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wme, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or Home other stimulant; or the face and
breast may lie bathed iu cold water: either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABbK OK DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from ;t to s drops.

All prisons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
r ttiuqiooiiful is a common dose. Old persons do uot
require ns much us young, or those iu the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
Then-is no particular care necessary iu giving it to
children those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, Willi the remark that, as a general rule.
. hildicu require more than adults in proportion.
Hy observing the above directions, the medicine will
bo found agreeable in all of Its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonislp and. My object in being thus particular is, that
tho lull benefit of the medicine may he obtained, and
not on account of any act tad necessity of such strict ob
servances.
iiilioti* ot- Unnittfiit Fever.
(live a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two bonis, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment iu till simple cases of
fever, with such observance* as are set forth iu the
Hull s. ‘ Hut should there lie prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should he
attended to at once, ami while giving the “ Fluid.”
El'e Synopsis.
It iu any case the bow els are partieularly constipated
or confined, give n cathartic (see auxiliaries) with tile
first portion: they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where tile fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teospoonaful
may be given at tirst with advantage, and even repeated
In two hours—if it—the pulse—hits not been softened,
ttin's showing the medieine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the subtle wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these dltllcnlt cases, will affertl relief and aid
the medicine much iu taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two teaspuousful and repeat every two hours till
the pulso becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
•qmotiful. to be discontinued as the fever subsides. A*
tint bowels arc generally routined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medieine to operate In this disease,
uo time should lie lost to get them open, give some active
. atliui tic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may la- neces
sary till it operates: euemas (injections) may also lie
used to udvuutage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
frietiou (rubbing) with the hands or tlnnnel; also, cold
applications to Uto head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As those fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, Ireing all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a geueral groat depression, there is
no practical use iu separatiug them—at least so far as
ni.v treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will he necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commeuced—which may
immediately follow auy other without dutrimeut—with
a teaspounful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger iu volume, then to be continued
one* in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
In bud cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should lie added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently open, and email portions
of some liejuUic should lie given occasionally, even
though the Imwels should be very hxwe. The patient
should lie sustained by nourishing and mucilagenoux
drinks—such as arc in common use in such eases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will lie found advantageous.
Tonics should is* used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(Jive ii'u-|M*>ufiil of the “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful ol'a strong decoction of boncset; or
balf the quantity may lie given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The Ixineset tea should lie given warm till the violent
symptoms arc allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
eold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over tin* seat of pain: keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scoria
linn; nr Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and .Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Kemember
never wait to learn the “name,'’ whether it is one or the
other, or m ilker, as they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will be but tilth erujitian even in small
pox. This, tu most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated i*s
I direct, will be cat short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, und that there is no necessity ol’
its running its ordinary course. Oh this I will stake
not only lev reputation, lint all that I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I huve good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. Ilu says, page 874:
“ Vou may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number oj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but lias
bent done ill numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
(live a toaspisinful or more, according to tin- urgency
oi the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feveraub
sidcs—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should Is’ given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. W hen the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
11l one case, on the ship Duchess d'Orleaus, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient i mild
not swallow or speuk. and lie was cured by dropping tile
Fluid on bis tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
w licii it was given iu tcuspoonfu! doses every hour , till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enaldi: him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone,—
Usi'il to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
I’m rpci-nl or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, ax to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
ti'iispoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re
peated as long as the I'uver continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
I’aiiifnl menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring, ltcstlessness, nervous irritability,
or u cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is oue of the most convenient and
cfl'octuai remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and irilability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It w ill not force sleep like opiates, but it. will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use in so many cases.
Syuiipsls.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as tii it.'ll as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric, Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may he or ought to lie called, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must lie removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
he appropriate means, and these soliuld he 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 tin'll be lost. As the *, Fluid” alone will sub
due tho fever, 1 cull all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels aro costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or intlanimatioii, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in tho 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, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar und water or spirits and
water, either w ill afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tollies and stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, in absence of fever or w hen indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced ; if there is nausea mid vomiting, that must he
allayed Ix'fore any medicine will remain on tho stomach
to do any goad; lor this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid” and 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 us directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
huve seeu. and theu you will ho astonished at the ease
with which you can control all fubrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Forties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about vvliat. is used. 1 iiaVe found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to he fully understood by
all, I w ill name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat linrttca. —Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many pills, antibilious. Ac.: anything
known to he good for such purposes.
Hepatic*. —Anything known to act outlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on hy the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with the “ Fluid or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllln—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and l*e suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give lone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and bittor herbs. Bone
set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Aatriugciits. -Xucll as cheek the action of the
bowels. laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants. —Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is oue of the best:
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though minty ethers are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better •'dia
phoretic,*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” •‘relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in tho materia medica.
1 shall not tux the reader 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
Paclsetahlp lliiclit ss D'Orleaus.
which cannot bo classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
“e took passage mi the packctship Duchess d'Orleaus,
i Copt llutton, then lying in tlio pert of Havre, France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the !)th of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on liourd, mostlv
.‘migrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the smafl
pox broke out among the emigrants. Tliev were all
treated by the physician in charge, I)r. N. W.’ Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox. some lever.
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
F’rotn what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used hy Dr. Seat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble lo the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on Ivoard. and not a death: The
fact speaks for itself.

New Principle! New Remedy! No Poison!
Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure;
ilu Antidote; to Malaria;
for the prevention and cure
Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever: Dumb Ague, and
“tiler Intermittent and ltemitteut Fevers: hlso ot
Bilious Fevers, accompanied hy Typhoid Symp
lons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship
and Jail Fever, (ieueral Debility, Night
Sweats, and all other forms of disease
WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MA.IiA.ZIIA OR MIASMA.
riMIESE diseases are common to ninny localities of the
X United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring from the
same minsnial cause. The great variety ot symptoms ami
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as tlie
cause is the same, they will all equally yield ton remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or lu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, stagnant water. decomjsi
sitiou of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance with thoso unalterable laws
! governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
i isisites, there is in tiie preparation before ns, offered to
I the public,
Tlie Natural Antidote to Jlnlm-ia,
which neutralizes the jsiison whenever it conus in con
tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and tints restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use :
It will instantly cheek the ague in persons who huve
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and hy continuing its use, according to tho 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.
lu its operation upon the 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 and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mede
cines. 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 be banished from
| every family and class in tlie community; farmers, mc
j clmnics, and all laboring people may be using this arti
! clo as a
Preventive,
, And pursue tlieir respective avocations in perfect safety
! from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of tho CUBE iu every part of
tho United States, its success has 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 iucrodiblc to many, even of
the most candid minds, because 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 scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac.
Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, aud when such remedies fail, or give only
tcm|Mirary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superaddod
to the poor sufferer's first complaint.
On Ibis account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using uny secret Fever aud Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may lie taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known tliut tlieir potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the ltemcdy 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 and Entire Ilariuiessnesa,
Tho following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in tho United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle:
New York, June 11, 1866.
“1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
und Ague (Jure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested
it. tor Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine anil Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found
any substance iu its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES it. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, tliut this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malurious diseases, but to do au equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which doliarm.
Tile entire absence of auy baneful ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, tliau it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advuucc.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an J
Hie same cause, and therefore ail, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait fur tlie laiison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take tho Cure as u preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet aud habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany eucli bottle.
It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil. the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and tree the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must betaken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.— ln certain specified eases, pour
tlie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (diniug plates,) and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also tlie air waited across, or circulated over tlie
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degiec commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlie apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the
words, “It hopes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tlie
glass, und on the outside wrapper is the name of tlie
mediciuc, (tlie copyright of which is secured) anil the
signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, whereTer introduced afld used. These
will lie considered sufficient.

Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of tlie Yellow Jesamine,
the pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than any
ottier Cough Medicine in this country.

New Orleans. April 1855.
Dcur Sir—The public generally are fully uwarc of the
thousands of remediesfor Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of sursuparillus, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, 4c., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object iu writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Krai Use in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that iu
j so doing, 1 um acting most uuprofcssionally, and deroga
| torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mediciue. 1 refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
i used with more success than any of tlie usual prescrip
! tlons used hy Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1855.
O. 0. Woodman —Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a tair trial aud um well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article I ever met with. I
would lie pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tle* hy the bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason, M. I).
This preparation has attained a w ide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, auy pulmonary complaints,
tin* medicine, front its peculiar properties us a dissolvent
ami it.w soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also he touud excellent, its natural aud genial warmth
keeping the digestive lowers iu proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Mediciue that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, aud recommended bv the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver

of Chill Fever where it run four days, lait the mau eitme

Evidence from a Clergyman.
I'LYMOU‘fH, ltichland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. .1. A. I!HODts, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per
lmincut 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 some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Ilev. A. C. DUBOIS.

Your Ague Cure lias 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 1
can in its sale. IV. A. 11AVI.KS.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CUBE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist. l)r. and. It. 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.
1 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 the letters
of which I publish su h 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 uttended any other Ague Remedy.
The CroxvningGlory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as 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.
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 hy
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
