NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,

why it should be used instead of any other treat
ment in all Kehrile affections:
1 at.—Economy of Time. —As only entemecenth
of the ordinary time is required to effect a cun l .
■til—Kroiitini) of Money.— As it costs hot one
dollar.
3rd.— Economy of Errling—As it saves the
su tiering of a Unite Sickness and the consentient treat*
moot; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, anti the pain of
long eonlineiiient; hut little of the fluid being ne. ensury,
ami that pleasant in its effects.
Ith. Krunomy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dreatl and anxiety at present
etlstiug, respecting febrile affections; particularly w hile
a dear friend is sick.
Economy of Health.—As tin-system
is not reduced, anil consequently rucked: nor is the fever
subject to l>e followed liy chronic disease.
til h.—Economy of I. We,—As the cure iaeffected
before and without reducing tile patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination. S
Other reasons might Ist tuldud, but these art deemed
suflleieut to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the flrst attack. Imt will
apply with 01)11111 force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
•u the nature of the case at the time it. Is flrst niltnlnls
tered
As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual mid jmrtou
to iit relief, in all ordinary eases, when useil sism after
the attack, persons can scarcely realise that they had
been really much sick, anil very naturally conclude tin y
were not attacked witli fever, and if so, “it was trifling
a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of rnusßtjneitce —It would have passed oil with
out any thing—that medicine had noeffoct.” The general
impression on the gutycct of fever is such, that thoughts
nut unlike tint (above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
the individual ha* witnessed many eases that lie can fully
real lie the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful ill perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expert that there will cases occur 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 as the influence of the •• Klnltl” pusses
off', as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in such cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.'’
Kcmnrks on Fevers in General*
tin this subject l wish to he fully understood. Ity the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile iiflertioas In
which the human frame is subject, including small jinx
and other eruptive fevers; Imt us they arise by a great
YHiicly of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety id’ forms or types;
yet all arc distinguished by the same general cliaineter
iitics—that ol undue excitement in tin- circulatory and
nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in tlie pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility. Ac.
To allow tlmt 1 am not w holly alone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the cclebrafod I’rof. T. Watson,
ol King's College, hoitdon, whose work on the “ I’linci
pies anil Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently sUnulanlaullwrity.
iln page 834. he says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. by tlic public, Typhus Fever, brain lever,
bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, l,ow Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the fulias particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-Kntcric, and
so forth. Now, admitting Dial fevor shows Itself under
various forms, I uni persuaded that the effort upon the
mind of all this Hub-division, is h;ul and hurtful, it
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, lo pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
tbut can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
oilier, even tins most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great Oust, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the felly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a ••mum;'’ if you Imve
fever, treat it at once its hereafter directed, and you
will he. well instead of any distinctchuraetcr being devel
oped, so as to Ire 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
side of (lie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
iliy myself and others) under a great variety of eir
riimstiineos, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
und treat ut once witlmut regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all ilread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers, lfut as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly us possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of tlie most prominent fevers, though the “ lluies”
and “Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for nil these
accustomed to attendance upon tlie sick.
Huh* important to hr observed in oil cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should lie given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d Patients niUHt he free from ail currents of air,
t though there should always bo free ventilation in tlie
sick room,) imr attempt tu go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It inust lie continued whenever tlie fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to lie resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such lie tlie case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
he left perfect ly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not he questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their man natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu
which they may feel more or less interested, hut be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
fttli. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as tlie 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.
dtli. Should patients experience any oppression or
taiutnom while in the lying posture, sons to occasion a
restlessness after the lever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wiue, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
hreast may he bathed ill cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children —-those of ten years of age frequently having
taken toll doses ; but for a little guide, I have given the
above table, with tlie remark that, as a general rule,
liildrcu require more than adults in proportion.
Hy obsevviug tlie above directions, tlie medicine will
be iouud agreeable in all of its effects, tlie expectations
ot tlie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Unions or ltemtttent Fever.
Hive a teasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the w hole treatment iu all simple cases of
fever, with sueh observances as are set forth in the
“Rules.” But should there lie prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie
attended to ut once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
It in any case tlie bowels ire particularly constipated
i confined, give a cat Its ill, (see auxiliaries) with the
flrst portion ; they must he opened or tlie fever may rise
again.
Where the fever Is very high, pulse running 110 nr
upwards, and tlie patient is not particularly susceptible
to tlie influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teuspoonsfiil
may lie given at first with advantage, aud even repeated
iu two hours—if it—tlie pulse—has not been sollenetl.
thus allowing tlie medicine bus taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much iu taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Clive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full aud soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to Ik’ discontinued us the fever subside*. As
tlie bowels are generally ooutiued, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicluo to operate in tills disease,
no I ime should It l lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic witli tlie “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it Operates: euemas (injections) may also he
used to advantage: also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or ffannei: also, cold
applications to tlie head. Quinine may lie added to the
*• Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Fillip and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are ull of oue character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grado, the pulse
small aud wiry, with a general great depressiou, there is
no practical use in separating them—ut least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patiouco will bo required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently rim weeks under
the common treatment, while with this Imt a few days
will bo necessary ut longest to establish ii permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be couimeiired—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teas|)<>oiifiil of “ Fluid” every’ two hours, till tlie pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
ouce in sis or eight hours till the saver entirely aulsiiiies.
In bad caves, from three to five grains each of quinine
and ap*icuiii( Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see tu xiliariea) should lie added to each dins-. The
bowels she.uld be kept gently open, aud small portions
of some I . sqsPu; should lie given occasionally, even
though tin. IWwels should lie very loose. The patient
should la* sustained by nourishing and nmcilageiimis
drinks—-♦ueh as are in common use in such cases.—
IVllsro (lie skin is very dry,sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will lie found advantageous.
Tonics atniitld lie used during eouviilesceiice. in all cases
which Imve become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, tiling
or Winter Fever.
(live a i.'.eqioonfiil of tin* “Fluid every two hums,
with a Wviie-glassful ol a strong decoction of Isincset: or
half tin* quantity may Is: given every hour till relieved,
tlien. at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
Tlie bomsset tea should lie given warm till tin: violent
symptoms are allayed, ur the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fonientatious, mustard plaster, or something <>f
tin: kind, to lie applied over the sent, of pain; keep the
’ bowels gently open.
Varioln, Ynriololtl, Kulieolii and Si ai la
tlnn; nr Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended w itli fever, which
; ill fact is tin: most prominent symptom, tin* treatment
| differs line little from that ufeommou fevers. Kcmember
I never u nit to learn the “name.” whether it is olio or the
other, or neither, as they ull coinmctlee with Jercr, hut
treat it at once; govern llui fever and there will lie no
! trouble; there will hr hut tilth eruption even in small
pox. Tit is, to most minds, is anew idea, aud doll lit less
| will lie regarded with ridicule hy many. I nevertheless
; boldly make the tf-crtiiiii, that small (six, if treated as
I I direct, wit! ts cut short ; attended w ith hut little erup
tion; little or no flitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On iliis i will stake
not only my reputation, but all tlini I hold most dear;
besides, mi this subject, I have good authority; that of
j |*rof. Wat.-mu, previously quoted, lie says, jingo 374:
; -1(1111 may abate tlie force of the eruptive lever, and
j keep down, it is believed, the number uj tin: pustules by
’ spline purge's, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
■ be dime. I imve not only proven it may he , hut luis
J been done in numerous cases that occurred on hoard
ship. Fee the account appended.
Hive a tmvqionnful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tin*
Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until tin* feverstib
sitles—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
hut it should he given and reja'iited sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. Min n the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may lie used, aud the
surface bailed, as thought advisable,
lii oue case, on tlie ship Duchess d’Orlcuns, tin tongue
ami Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow nr speak, und In: was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, lill lie could swallow,
when it was given ill teaspoonful doses every hour, lift
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
the throat was reduced son* to enable him intake nnur
ishment ill about twelve Innas by tin Fluid alone. —
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Fuci'pcrnl or Cliildlx <1 Fever.
Tins heretofore jiaiuful, dangerous and alarming
malady lo which tho mother is liable, will yield to tin*
Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoon fill, almost invurialdy giving entire aud per
manent relief; uo alarm need la* entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as Hie saver continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should la* attended I".
In connection with tills subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded hy
the ladies, will save them much juiiii and suffering. It
is to inform Ilium of tlie happy effect of Hie Fluid in
many of their trials. Iu chihl-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it. must la* tried to la* appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will he relieved at once by a com
mon dose und retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; ill short, it is oue of the most convenient and
effectual remedies l'ur many of I lie ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well its Hie circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth aud
quiet tlio system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use in so many ease-.
Synopsis,
To uvoid constant repetition, and condense Hie treat
ment as much as jiossihlc, 1 give under this head general
directions for ull 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 lie or ought to lie called, it should la* given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control nil organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he romftvcil in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be Hjqiropriate means, and these soli old he given while
giving tile “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. As the *, Fluid” alone will sub
due tlie lever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels tuo costive, give a -cathartic (see auxili
aries) witli the first dose, or mm alter, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
w ith dlarrhu'a, give something known to lie good for
that coinjihiint, though if caused hy irritability, tin*
“Fluid” will soon roliove that condition; if sovoro local
pain or inflammation, apjdy some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, portraits, cloths wet iu cold water, to the jiart; if
violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tlie feet in Hot water; if the lever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or butlio the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temjieratnre;
“the saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in Diking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence ol’ fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlie patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do nay goad; for this jmrposo 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if
given jdentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the •* Fluid “ and a cathartic if
necessary ; iu short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
us you would under any other circumstances, giving the
** Fluid” at tin* same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will bo astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know* what is meant hv
cathartics. Ac., as pltysiciaus are usually jiarticuhir
about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by
all. 1 w ill name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I Imve referred to. viz:—
Cut Hurtles.—Articles that purge or operate on tlie
bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of tin* roots
or harks, and many pills, atitibilioiis. Ac.; anythin'**
known to lie good forsurli purposes.
Ileputlcs.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
All) of the articles do|K*iidod on hy the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the Fluid” or while tlie system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tin* third, podnphyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may Dike his choice and la* suc
cessful.
Toll Ics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
us quinine, various hulks, roots and hitter herbs. Hone
set or Hioroughwort is one of tin* best used in fevers.
Astringent*.—Such as cheek tlie action of the
; bowels. Isimlaiium and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which imve tlie effect.
Stimulant*. — Article* that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne jiepper) is one of the host;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry iu treating fevers, though many others are gcnenillv
used, but Hie Negative Electric Fluid is a better -dia
phoretic,*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in tho materia mntico.

By the law* of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or in other word* a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effort: is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho

baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the fallowing extraordinary results from its use :
If will instantly check the ague in pertous who have
suffered for any length of time, froth one day to twenty
years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin
uing free from she complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in tho 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 Niglit Sweats
which so often follow the administration of other mcdc
cincs. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By ils use Fever and Ague may lie banished from
every family and class in the community: farmers, me

Prevent i vi>
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.
Since the introduction of the CUBIC in every part of
the Uiiited 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
introduct ion, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all the resources < f
science had been taxed iu 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 a* Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, fcutlicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
tin y subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded
to the poor sufferers first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may’ he taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive, poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Jiemedy is not only valuable
on account ol* its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Kntirr Harmlessncss,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists ;u the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to evciy bottle:
New York, June 11, 1555.
*•1 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 to the constitution.
-JAMES It. CHILTON, M. I>., Chemist.”
It ii a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good 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 ns a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine bo 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 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 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 riiysician 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 autibilious 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 free the biliary passages. Remember that where
tills is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution* —In certain specified cases, poui
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure iuto
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tho
dregs of it, alter the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
ami destroy, to a degiee commensurate w ith its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the
words, ••Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure’’ blown 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 reliance for its success is entirely lion its
actual MERITS, wherever introduced and used. These
i will be considered sufficient.

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sejit. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by 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 the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and in spite of the different remedies
and treatment l adopted, my health grew worse until
1 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.
Wishing y.iur medicine tlie success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

We are not in the habit of pulling medicines, but desire
to say. for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N.
Rowe, Merchant, Sliarpsburg, who has it for sale, in
forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in
every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth. Richland Cos., Ohio, Sejit. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —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 months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and lias 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 trulv,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it In a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours.

Your Ague Cure lias overcome till prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who lias been fully cured by only one bottle, aud de
sired me to recommend it to everybody, i shall do all l
can in its sale. \V. A.HAYLES.
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 into every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies Lo its jier
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever ami 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 sn h immense quantities are always
new and late dates —altogether they would more than
lillany newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie Crowning Glory
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, nut 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 tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antiilotc.
it is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shuttered or weakened In
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
