• Idler reasons might ho added, but these are deemed
tuMrient to satisfy all elasses and persons in all condi

I lie aliovn reasons are more particularly applii able to
tbe linniediale treatment on the first attack, hut will
apply with equal I'oree to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
•o the nature of the case at thetlme It is first ad min in
tuit and.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual aud perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they Itad
iieeii really much siek, and very naturally conclude they
>vcie not iittackud with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
i little cold, which gave alarm—it could hare Is-eii
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
al anything that medicine had noelfect. - ’ 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: aud it is not until
the individual has witnessed many eases that lie can fully
realize the truth; and even then lie may conclude them
ad very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
l<> auy simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
teen thus successful In perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expert that there will runes ocelli where there is some
ipanic or local cause so great as to require particular’
iticntiun. or though succosslul in reducing the fever,
it wall again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, as l lie exciting cause may still-exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in such cases that I have given
aud frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.”
licmiii ks on h'cvt rs in General’
Du this subject I wish to be fully understood. Ity the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including sum 11 pox
and other eruptive levers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
uid habile, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet .all aredlHtingulshed by the same general chaiacter
i-dK H that of undue excitement in the circulatory and
m rvous systems—lnducing mure or less unnatural fre
quency In the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tin- skin,
debility, Ac.
To show Unit I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance. I quote from tlie celebrated I’rof. T. Watson,
Oi King's College, I,(melon, whose work on the *• Princi
ples and I’lactleo of Physic” is a text ls>k in many of
onr medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
Du page s.li. he says:—“We hear continually, Imth in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. Ami systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Much Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-Flnteric, and
• tortli Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms. I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all tills sub-division, is laid and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
svrils- for a disease uecordiug to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, ami are often
traceable to I he same cause.”
Tbe above is a great fact, one worthy of remoiubrauce
and 1 would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;'’ if you have
lever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, anil you
tuitt lie well instead of any distinctdiaractcr being devel
oped, no as to lie 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 Urn sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
iby myself and others) under a great variety of cir
• umstnnees, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will nooh be freed from all dread of linger
ing uml dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before tho “Fluid” is given, cither by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued In
nil of the most prominent fevers, though the “ ltules”
uml “ Synopsis” will he nmpiy sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Kales important la he observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may ho sweetened or not ai
pleasure,
2d. Patients must he free from all currents of air,
(though there should ul w;iys he free ventilation in tile
nick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3*l. li must he continued whenever the fever sulwidos,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
In-gins to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
■till. Whan the fever begins to subside, patients must
he left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not ho questioned tis to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, rend or take any exercise whatever,
till their i atm natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, iodine them to rise or speuk; nor
should any conversation lie allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, hut lie left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
■lth. Fluids should tie 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 tens, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
dill. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
icstlessncss after tlie fever lias passed off, or enough to
on anion I hem to speak, of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
-pirlt, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tho face and
breast, maybe battled in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

As these fevers are all of oue 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, w hen
fully developed, a little patience will he required; still
ouiparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tlie common treatment, while with this but a few days
will tie necessary at lougest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which uih.v
■ mmedlutoly follow any other without detriment— with
a tesspoonfbl of “ Fluid” every two hours, (ill the pulse
becomes fuller or largecin volume, then to be continued
once in fix or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides
11l had eases, from three to five grains eueli ot i/Uitnoe
and eajooi tiui (Cayenne popper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should is- added to each dose, Ihe
bowels should ho kept gently open, aud small portions
ot some lu'ii'ilii should lie given occasionally, even
though file lioweU should Ire very loose, ‘i lie patient
should tie sustained by nourishing and mucilage-nous
drinks—such os are in common use iu such eases.—
Where the skill is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious lever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should Is- used during convalescence, in all cases
which have iiecotue reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(Jive a leaspoollfni of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wiiu-glassful of a strong decoction of honeset; or
half the quantity may he given every hour till relieved,
then, a( longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
Tlie lioneset tea should lie given warm till tin- violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then

the kind, hi lie applied over the seat of pain: keep the
I tow els gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; oi* Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
anti Scarlet Fever.
As all us these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
dilters hue little from that of common fevers, Remember
never wait to learn tlie “ name whether it is one or the
other, or ueilher, as they all commence with jie.ee, Imt
treat it at once; govern the liver and there w ill he no
trouble; there will Is ■ bid litUe erujitioH even iu smsll
pox. This, to most minds, is u new idea, and doubtless
will bcrcgiirded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make tlie assertion, Unit small jkix, if treated as
I direct, mill be cut short; attended with Imt little erup
tion; little oi no pitting, and lliut I Imre is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this J will stake
not only my reputation, tint all that 1 hold uiont dear:
besides, mil his subject, I have good authority; that of
Prof. Matson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
‘•you may abate the force of the eruptive lever, uml
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission that it may
he done. I nave not only proven it mag be, hut lias
been done in numerous eases that occurred on hoard
ship. Bee the account appended.
(live a tenspiHinful or more, according to the urgency
of the ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
hut it should lie given and repeuted sufficiently to keep
tlie fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may lie used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
I ii one case, on tlie ship Duchess d’Urloans, tin- tongue
: and faueus were so much swollen that tlie patient could
| not swallow or speak, and In- was cured by dropping tlie
l Fluid oh liis tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
w hen it was given iu teiisiKXilifut doses i eery hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used tn wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
bestgurgk in nil such oases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady lo which the mother is liable, will yield to tlie
Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to scent
to Ini of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
tenspoiiuful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no idarm need lie entertained, as tlie
Fluid will arrest it ill a short time. It should lie re
peated as long as tlie fever continues, ns in other cases.
The bowels of course should Is* attended to.
tn connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tlie Indies, w ill save them miicli pain and suffering, it
is to inform them of tlie happy cfleet of tlie Fluid in
many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing ami
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
ami difficulties; it must lie tried to lie appreciated.—
Da infill menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Kcstlcssncss, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
it* use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies formally 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 irilahility of tho nervous ns w ell as tho circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sootli and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy: hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Klcctric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to lie railed, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie 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 iuauy case, they should
to appropriate means, uml these sohuld bo given while
giving tho “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 lie lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub
due tlie fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tlie bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or hiioii after, and should it
fail to operato in duo time, repeat Hie dose; if atteuded
w ith diuirhiea, givo something known to lie good for
that complaint, thougli 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 of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in tlie head, apply eold water, iee water,
if convenient, or some nailing application, and bathe
the feet in Imt water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
w hole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash.” vinegar aud water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine ill taking cUcrt, alter which there will he no trou
ble; if Ihe patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, giie tonics ami stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea uml vomiting, Hint must he
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do nay goad; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach: warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the Final” uml a cathartic if
ueceaaary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
ns you would under any other eircumstunees, giviii” the
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize It till you
have wen, and then you will lai astonished at the case
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics. Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and in lie fully understood by
all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
towels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of tin- roots
or harks, and many pills, antihilious, anythin
known to !*e good torsuch purposes.
Hepatlcs.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of (lie articles depended on by the different schools’
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with tlie Fluid or while the system is under its in
fluemv. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophylllu—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on: each may take his choice mid lie suc
cessful.
Tonies.—Articles Hint give tom- or strength, such
ns quinine, various lurks, risits and hitter herbs. Bone
set or Ihoroughwort Is one of tlie best used in fevers.
Astrindents. —Such as clunk tho action of tho
towels, 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 one of tlie best •
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less Stimulating. These arc tho only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, Imt the Negative Filootric Fluid is a hotter “din
plunetic,’’ anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in tlie materia medico.
1 shall not tax tho render with along list of proofs,
depending mainly mi the results of a trial, anil will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Paeketahip Duclics* D’Oilcon*.
which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, via—
Wc took passage on tlie packe’tship Duchess d'Orlcutw
('apt Hutton, then lying in tlie port of Havre, France’
nd hound for New York. Bin- sailed on the 9th of Au
gust. 1861, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tho small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. goat, with
anew remedy of liis own, which lie calls Negative Kler
trie Fluid, with which ho seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, ami < urin
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty.nine days,
there wero about eighty cases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, wc are fully
convinced tlint the medicine ased by Dr. Beat ou tho oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or rend of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certaiutv, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
smallpox and fever on lieard, uml not a death’ The
fact speaks for itself.

New Principle ! New Remedy! No Poison!
Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure;
Ou Antidote to Malaria ;
FOR THK PREVENTION AND CURB
Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, ami
other Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also ot
Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp
lons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship
and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night
Sweats, and all other forms of disease
WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MAIiAHZA OH MIASMA.
fIUIKBK diseases are common to many localities of the
X United States; hut wherever tln-y prevail, North,
South, Fiast or West, they all equally spring from the
same miasiual cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; hut as tlie
cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, nr in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
w hether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
hod floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who
breathe it. In accordance witli those unalterable laws
governing Die unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is iii the preparation before ns, offered to
the public,
Tlie .\nluritl Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it. even in tlie open air, ami when taken inter-
Hally completely purifies the system uffeeted by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to he entirely new, uml un
known to any lint tile proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary reaults from its use:
It will instantly check the ague in persona who have
suffered tor any length of lime, from one day to twenty
years, and liy continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will tie effected; the patient contin
uing free from tin-complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison ill the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, aud when tlie diseuse is cured, it
! w ill entirely prevent tlie accession of
General Debility ami Night Sweats,
j which so often follow tlie administration of other unde
; cincs. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever aud Ague may he banished from
j every lamilyand class iu the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti
| cle as a
Preventive,
i And pursue their reapective avocations iu perfect safety
| from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to then; tlie most valuable jiart of tlie
year.
Since the introduction of the CUKF in every part of
tlie United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying us 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 incredible 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.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the ilisease
they subdue, ami when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects arc superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
Ou this uccount ague sufferers should lie particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may ho 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 Remedy is not only valuable
on account ot its power to cure diseases, hut that it is
also
Worlliy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular anti Entire llarnilcssness,
Tho following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated
chemists in the United States has been obtained, and u
copy of it is attached to every bottle:
Xxw Yokk, June 11, 1855.
“1 tun e 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 cither in it, nor have Ifouml
any substance in its composition dial would prove inju
rious to tlie constitution.
“JAMES it. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family front
malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines w hich do harm.
Tho entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable as aCure, than it is as 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 tho diseases being produced by one an 1
tho samo cause, anil therefore all, Imth residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by tlm timely use
of this preventive, aud not wait for tlie poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself iu a violent
attack. Take the Cure a.s a preventive, and so destroy
the poisou before it does harm.
Full directions and advice us to diet mid Imbits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often tic found necessary to precede this medi
cine liy a mild cathartic or antihilious purgative. The
very beat tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, tho object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and tree the biliary passages. Remember that where
Hiis is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of tbe antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution, —ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more -hottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
anil also the air wafted across, or circulated over tho
dregs of it, utter the liquid is evaporated, w ill counteract
aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise Ini
resorted to when very young infant* are exposed to
malarious situations.
Tlie bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Auue Cure” blown in (lie
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tlie
signature of the proprietor. These precautions arc
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance eor its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will he considered sufficient.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
Nxw Oilcans, April 9, 1855.
Dear Mr— Die public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of reiuedieefor Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspaper*by
way of advertisements. My object ill writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
AVuI Vte in I'idmonary IHsrasts. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessionally,aml ilerogo
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. 1 refer to Woodman’s Cherry-
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
useil with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians. ’

0. 0. woodman—Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Kxpectorant a tair trial and am well pleased with its ef
iects; better than any other article 1 ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen Imt
tles by the bearer. ltespectfully,
W. M. Mason, M. D.
fills preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
roughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
aud its soothing (lower to all irritations of the throat,
iwll probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural aud genial warmth
keeping the digestive (lowers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity, it ts sane*
tinned by, approved of, and recommended bv the leading
1 hyeiciaus of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the utouey refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better ban * ny cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent
un order to Ames A Holliday for another half gross of
your F’everand Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
uml 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I have lieard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and teld them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and I hey were all satisfied. I had one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but tbe man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours. JOHN P. GLADDING.

by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of

Bincc that time I have uot bail a single chul, and am

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 takiug an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
tlie Cure aud has not lmd a ehill since. A young man
also used the same Balsum some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. Bo far it works like
a charm. Y’ours trulv,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, linJ., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have beeu in the practice
ot’ 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
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
’ ‘ W. (i. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. lt.,Ga.,Jan. 1, 1858.
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. 1 shall do all I
can in its sale. \v. A, IIAYLES.
If any liody desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, winch is being intro
duced us rapidly ns possible into every town and village
in tlie United States, Canadas, Ac. Tho cmiuent chem
ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever aud Ague or not, just as they please.
1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers arc those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure ou 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
ot which I publish su -li immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fillany newspaper, aud prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The CroxvniiigGlory
of the Cure Is Its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during tho warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child in the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever aud Ague,
Bilious or Y'ellow Fever, or any form ol’ disease arising
from tlie 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 strengtli to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
