<*f li. Keonomy of liitV.—As the cure iseth c.tcd

Other reasons might lie added, hut these arc deemed
sufficient to satisfy all elasses and perHOiis in all condi

tin above reasons nr< more particularly applicable to
the iiuiiiediute treatment on the first attack, but will
.tppl\ with equal force to chmcm which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
*o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
A- this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and permit
m us. relief, in nil ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons call scarcely realize that they had
ireally much sick, and very naturally conclude they
vvnot attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling |
i little eold. which gave alarm —it could have been
nothing of eeiiseqiience—it would have passed off with- 1
• dll anything—that medicine hail no effect. The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts :
c t unlike the above follow the cure of a common nine
i mtfiiiallv as men think at all; and it is not until J
iln individual has witnessed ninny easestliat he ran fully i
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to auy'simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
te en ihii** successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
etped that there will cases occur where there is some
oiganie 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 Fluid'’ passes
oil. ns the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
nyauiHi disappointment in such eases that I have given
ind frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.”
ItemurkH on Fever* in General*
<m tin subject I wish to be fully understood, ily the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
uidother eruptive fevers; hut as tin y arise by a great
1 siiet\ of causes, and iii quite dissimilar constitutions
.nd habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development mid exhibit, a variety of forms or types;
vK all are distinguished by the same general clmracter
i ti< - that <d undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advAtice, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
i King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ple* and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
nr medical colleges,and consequently standardauthority.
Mn page HIM, he says:—“We hear continually, both in
.nid out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By tiie public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Vlncoiis Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (bistro-Knterie, and
u forth. Now. admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is Imd and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
crihe 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
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of rcniemhrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;'* if you have
b'ver, treat it lit once as hereafter directed, and you
u'iU 0* well instead of any distiuctcliarocter being devel
oped, ho as to be properly named by the most scientific.
‘Phis assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the hed
ideof the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands Os cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
aud treat at once without regard to name, and rent
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous levers. But as cases may have be
. elite developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, l will describe
ms briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the 4 * Hides”
tad “ Synopsis'* will he amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the Hick.

quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.

(though there should always he free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
ltd. It in list he continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
iicuiuslances.
4th When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
fill their oww natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
hottld any conversation ho allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
oth. 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 patieuts desire.
Mb. Should patients experience any oppression or
taint ness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
lestlessnesH after the fever lias passed off', or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant: or the face uud
breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
will give itumediate relief,

Where the 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 tea.<qx>on*ful

used to advantage: also, mustard to the extremities, or

As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use In separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. Iti these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, us they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
atesiipoonfli! of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
once in six or eight hours til! the lever entirely subsides.
In had cases, from three to rive grains each of yuinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) dr some tonic arid stimu

the kind, to lie applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.

tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Mcaslev,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of those diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. lie member
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither , as they all commence with Jerer, but
treat, it at once; govern the level* and there will he no
trouble; there will he but little, eruptum even in small
pox. Tliis. to most minds, is anew idea, and duubtles*
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make I lie assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will he cut short ; attended with hut lilt h* erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there i * no necessity of
its ruiiiiiu; its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, but, all that I hold most dear;
besides, on t his subject, I have good authority; that ol
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
•• You 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 4
be done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. Bee the account appended.
Hive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of sails or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hour* if necessary, until the fever Hiib
j sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
tint it should lie given and repeated sufficiently t<> keep
j the lever under control. When the throat is affected,
; any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the
: surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the (dupDuchessd’Orleans, the tongue
i and faucus were ho much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue*, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses ecery 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 to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all sueli cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
j malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative F.lectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent r lief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re
peated ns long as the favor continues, s in other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
Iu 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 he tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation w ill he relieved at onee by a com
mon dose and retiring. Uestlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken ut a delicate time, is cqsily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most, convenient and
j effectual remedies Tor many of the ills of females, if not
I In* most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth ami
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy : lienee its usd in so many eases.
Synopsis*
To avoid coustank repetition, and eondeuse the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all (ruses. 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 be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
w hen suc h exist, must he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
ho appropriate means, and these sohuld be given w hile
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 (lieu be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due thu fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic’ (see auxili
aries) with tiie first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrliu'U, give something known to lie good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid’ will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in eobl water, to the part; if
violent pniu in tho head, apply eold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, uuil bathe
the feet iu imt water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or hatlie tiie
whole surface w ith water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine iu taking effect, alter w hich there will be no trou
ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, git e luiiies and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated: also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced : if there is tiauseu and vomiting, that must he
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; for tliis purpose 1 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 abort, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
” Fluid” ut tiie same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then yon will be astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
thirties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics. Ac., us physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using tho Fluid, and to he fully understood by
all. 1 will mime a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz :
<n l linrt lcs. Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, aiitibiljous, Ac.; anything
known to lie good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on liy the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
witli tiie “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. Ami one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take Ids choice mid he suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give to strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Ronc
set or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Aat rill gent m.—Buell as check the action of tho
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
81 iin it la nt s.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best:
giiiget. spirits, hartshorn. Act, flu* essences are ail more
or less Stimulating. Those are the only classes necessa
ry in treating levers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is n Better “dia
phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” atid
“sedative” than known in the mutiria meitiia.

During the voyage, whicli lasted thirty-nine days,
there werealmut eighty cases of small pox, some fever,

WHICH 11AVK A COMMON ORIGIN IX
MAJjAHIA OR MIASMA.
MMIKSK diseases arc common to many localities of the
X Coited States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, Fast or West, they all c.pmily spring from the
same miasma) cause. The great variety ofsymptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to dilference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is Hie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that i* competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle Ims its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same iu character and effect; is a poi
son floating iu the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance with tlioso unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
|h,sites, there i- in the preparation before us. olfered to
tiie public,
J'lie Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neiitraliy.es the |sdson whenever it conics in con
tad with it. even in the open air. and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system alfeeted by it of its
baneful influence, and lints restores and preserves
health.
rite remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to auy but tile proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use :
It will instantly check tins ague iu persons who have
sulfered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, mill by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical chit will la; effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, aud when the disease is cured, it
’ will entirely prevent tiie accession of
<jiencral Debility anil Night Sweats,
w) lii'li so often follow the administration of other mcdc
! 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 mid class in the community; farmers, me
i clinnics. and all laboring people may lie using tliis arti
j tie as a
Preventive,
And.pursue tiieii respectiveavix'atimisill perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
w hich is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since tiie introduction ot the CURE in every part ol
tiie. United States, its success liiih 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 incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all (lie 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
cmpirienl, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, ami w lieu sueli remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects arc superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular ami Entire Ilarinlessiitss,
The billowing certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists hi the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy ol'it is attached to every bottle:
New York, June 11, 1855.
•‘1 have niadua 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 I found
any substance iu its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES It. CIIILTON, M. 1)., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
maluricus diseases, but to do unequally 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 as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the cue
under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an J
the saino cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, aud not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure us a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions aud advice as to diet and habits ol’ life
prepared l>y a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often lie tbund necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or ontibilious 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
this is necessary, or there is costivcness, it must be taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.— lu certain spec!fled cases, poin
tin’ contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, fining plates,) and place them iu
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, alter the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a dcgiee commensurate with 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 iu whicli this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside w rapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of tlit proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reuanue for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesamiue
tho pure decoction of Wild Cherry Hark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far hotter than any
other Cough Medieine in this country.

Dear Sir—Tile public generally arc fully aware of the
j thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements, My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
wlie are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
loot lsc ill Bui,nonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing. I am acting most nnprofessiontUly.uiid doroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioner* of Medicine, I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Fxpcetorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.

U. o. Woodman— Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
tects: better than any other article I ever met with. 1
would he pleased to have you send me half a dozen tvot
tlcs by tin* hearer. Respectfully.

81 , Louis. Mo., Nov. 10, 1805.
I I A VINE noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
1J given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that itcuntaiued neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mer
curp nor .Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications lor it, I was induced to send to
for the medicine. Since then i have disposed ol a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom i can refer. I am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to he all that
the proprietor represents.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who lias not been fre e from Fcver.nnd
Ague a month at a time lor the last twelve years, 1 sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. 81ie took in all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, and as four months
j have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the pernta

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —l have just sent
an order to Ames & Holliday for another half gross of
your Fcverand Ague Cure. 11 has sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, J have sent a laittle and told them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it. and they were all satisfied. I had one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Mr. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —The box of “Ague
Cure” you sent us has all been sold and created a large
demand for more; to meet which we have ordered
from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.
Its sale will only be equalled by the number of Fever
and Ague cases. Hoping these cases may be few, yet
have a bottle for every case.
We remain respectfully yours,

Cure of Panama Ft ver.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, J 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, mid in spite of the different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until
1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. —
Since that t ime J have not had a single chill, and ant
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing y.mr m ‘dicine the success that it merits,
1 remain truly yours,

Evidence from u Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir —1 cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. ()ue 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 slje gat 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 liottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly, <
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Iml., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes— Doar Sir—l have been iu the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
’ W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. It., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Y'our Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only One bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do nil I
can in its sale. W. A.HAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of tho CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, &c. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence, ft 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 he noticed that the letters
of which I publish su h immense quantities arc 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 attended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning Glory
of the Cure is Its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as n 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 Slates
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
ltilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from tho 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 by
Ague or liilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
