Economy of Thought. —As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present listing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear IHend is sick. r,lh. —Economy of Health.— As the system is not reduced, and consiniuently nicked; nor is the level subject to lie followed by chronic disease. Oth.—Kconomy of Life. —As the cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, nil danger of a fatal termination. Ollier reasons might lie lidded, hut these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. ’file above reasons are wore particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the tlrst attack, hut will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course •o the nature oftlie case iittliotiine it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after tlie attack, persons can scarcely realize that they hod been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y were not attacked with fever, and if ho, “it was trifling i little cold, which gave alarm —it could have been nothing of (••insequeiico —it would have |isscd off with out anything—that medicine bad no effect.” The general impression on the subject of fever Is such, that thoughts nut unlike tlie above follow the cure of n conn case is naturally as tliink at all; and it is not until the individual Inis witnessed many eases that he call hilly 1 ilinn thu truth; and even Mien ho may conclude them ill very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must iexpect tlmt there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though succosslul in reducing the liver, it will again rise as tint Influence of the “Fluid” passes off, as tlie exciting cause may still exist. It is 10 guard against disappointment In such cases that l have given ind frequently refer to what 1 have called u “synopsis.” Remark* on Fevers In General* On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” I comprehend nil febrile affections to which the lmman frame Is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut ns they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions anil 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 character i-ties—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in tlie pulse, sense of limit, dryness of tlie skin, debility, &c. To show Unit I am not wholly iilono in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from the celebrafcd l’rof. T. Watson, and King s College, London, whose work on tlie “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is u text book in many of ,nir medical colleges, and consequently sUindardantliority. On page 834, lie says:—“We hear continually, both in uni out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fevor, Nervous Fever, ,lc. Ami systematic writers are to tlie full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Knteric, and ho forth. Now. admitting that fever allows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect iijmhi the iiiiiid of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It , ncouriiges a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre , ribe for a disease according to its name.. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, flint enn be relied on. They run insensibly Into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and arc often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance mid 1 would imprest on your minds tlie folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and yon will he well instead of any distinctcharncter being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at tlie bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, tluiiisunds of cases iby myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear tills in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But ns cases nmy have l>c conie developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I- will describe as brh'tly as possible tlie proper course to be pursued in all us the most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. tilth s important to be observed in all eases in mint/ the Aegative Electric.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoon ful is a common dose. Uhl persons do not require as niueli us young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, us much as males. There is no particular earn necessary in giving it to children —those of ten years of ago frequently having i d,,'ii full doses; hut for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, us u general rule, children require more Ilian adults iii proportion. liy observing the above directions, tlie medicine will Imi found agreeable in all of its effects, tlie expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that l lie full benefit of the medicine limy be obtained, and not on account of any ad tint necessity of such strict ol* ■crvtiQCus. unions or Krmittent Fever. (live u teasponfiil of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tlio fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, vvitli such observances as are set forth iu the •• Rules.'’ But should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and wltilo giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis, If in uiy ease tlie bowel” are particularly constipated or con fined, give a cation tie (see auxiliaries) with the tlrst portiou; they must he opened or tlie fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running HO or upwards, and the patient is uot particularly susceptible to tlie influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may bo given at first with advantage, and even repeated iu two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened , time showing tlie medicine lias taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, iu those difficult cases, will afford relief aud aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse hoeomee more full and soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subsides. As the bowels we generally routined, and it is frequently very difficult to got medicine to operate in tills disease, no l into should ho lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with tlie •• Fluid” uiid repeat us may he neces sary till it operates: enemas (injections) may also lo used to advantage: also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with tlie hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the •• Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. 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. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will bo required; still comparatively little, as 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 nmy immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse heroines fuller or larger in volume, then to be coutiuued once in six or eight hours till the lever entirely subsides, In boil cases, from three to live grains each of <fuinine mid capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or sonic tonic and stijnii- | knit (see auxiliaries) should Ik- udd'xi to ouch dose. Jhe bowels should be kept gently open, and small pirtioiu* of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even though tlie liotouls should be very loose. Ihe pntieu t should be sustained by nourishing and imicilagenw is drinks—such us are in common use in such case*.— Where tlie skin is very dry, sponging the nurture as ,li reeled in bilious fever, will lie luund advantage. ms. Tonics should lie used during convalescence, in all vases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give a teas|N>oiiful of the “ Fluid” eycry two .hours, with a wine-glassful ol a strong decoction of bond et; or half the quantity may bo given every hour till relieved, then, at longer Intervals, suy once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should lie given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something oi the kind, to !■ applied over the seat ol pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Mcaalea, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is tlie most prom incut symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Kcmeniber never wait to learn the “ name,” whether it is unu or the other, or neither, as they all commence with fern-, but treat it ut once; govern the lover and there will he no trouble; there will be but tittle eruption oven in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, ami doubtless will Imj regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as ] direct, wilt Ik cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, aud that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On Ibis 1 will stake not only niv reputation, hut all that 1 hold most dear; besides, on'this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: ” You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is hulleved, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Hero is the admission that it may he done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but lias been done in numerous cases that occurred ou board ship. See tlie. account appended. (live a teas;sx)uful or more, according to the urgency of tlie case, 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; liut it should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep tlie fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may bo used, mid the surface bathed, us thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleuns, the tongue and faucits wore so much swollen that Hm patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tlie Fluid oil iiis tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given iu toaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so us 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 such cases. Puerperal 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, iih to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a toaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in n short time. It should he re peated ns long as the fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should he attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 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 iu many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.— l’ainful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring- Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the must convenient and effectuai remedies for many oftlie ills of females, if not tlie most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as tho circulatory. It will 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. 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 Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name, it may he or ought to be called, it should bo given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As tlieFluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) vvitli tlie lirst dose, or noon after, and should it fall to Operate in duo time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhu'ii, give something known to ho 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 bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tlie part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, iee water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bailie tho feet in hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water ut an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief mid aid the medi cine in taking effect, alter which there will he no trou ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose: when the stomach has settled, give tlie “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “Fluid” ut the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you canuot realize it till you have soon, and then you will he astonished at tlie ease vvitli 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. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz.:— Cat lini'ttcs.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tlie roots or barks, and many pills, iintibilious, Ac.; anything known to he good for such purposes. Deputies.—Anything known to act on tho liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tho articles depended on by tho different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu tluonce. And oue may choose calomel—another, bine mass—tho third, podophylliu—tlie fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonic*.--Articles Hint give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots aud bitter herbs. Bone set or thorough wort is one oftlie best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such as cheek the action of the bowels. Isnulanum and other preparations of opium are used: also, many mixtures, not properly astrii eenl which have the effect. W ’ Stimulants. —Articles that raise or excite tlie system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though ninny others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bettor “dia phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in tho materia mnlica. 1 shall not tux tlie render with a long list of proofs, dapeiuling mainly on the results of n trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Pnckctship Pitches* D’Orlcnns. which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates: We. tho undersigned, certify to the following, viz— We took passage on the pneketship Duchess d'Ui leans, Cant Hutton, then lying In the port of Havre, France! and hound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au gust. 1831, w ith over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, vvitli a now remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which he 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 wore about eighty cases of suiull pox. some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu'. stint promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Sent 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 to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage, small pox and fever on board, and nut a death! The fact speaks for itself. Signed, K. P. Fabki, 84 l’earl street. New York. K. G. Kauri, ** “ >, J. A.

The great variety ot symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference Iu age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; hut as the cause is tlie same, they Will ull equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By tho laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words u specific remedy. Ail Malaria, whether arising from .Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is (lie sume in character and effect; is a poi son floating in tho atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. in accordance witli those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op |Mites, there is iu tliu preparation before us, offered to the public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, ■.■von in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus’ restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, .and un known to any hut the proprietor, who distinctly claims the follow ing extraordinary results from its use : it will instantly check tlie ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, n radical cure will he effected ; tlie patient contin uing free from the complaint lor 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 tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it w ill entirely prevent tlie accession of General DeLility and Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other rnedO’ cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, ;*id continues to improve until restored to perfect lieulth. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may he using this arti cle as a Preventive, 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 CUKE in every part of the 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 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 disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are suporadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie 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, ns a proof that the Kemedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Kill ire It uiinUssne**, The following certificate from ono of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every 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, hut have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES It. CIIILTON, M. D., Chemist.” it is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Kemedy is destined not only to relieve tlie 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 as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as tlie one ■under consideration, if the medicine lie taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and 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 tlie poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished l’liysician 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 iintibilious purgative. Tlie very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil. the object of w hich is to cleans.- tlie stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —In certain specified eases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to u degree commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie 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 tho outside wrapper is tho name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tho signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These w ill be considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, l’rovidcncc, R. I, For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 185fi. ly Druggists.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure iu assuring you of the benefit it has hem 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 I 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 yjur medicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We arc not in the habit of putting medicines, but. desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the liiedi eine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, .!/</. Sept. 4. Evidence, from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. .1. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady iu tlie 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 has not had a chili 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, Rev. A. C. DUROIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Montickllo, lull., Aug. 27, 1855. .1. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —l have been.in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and cun con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it iu a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours. ’ W. (!. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. K., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who lias been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I cau in its sale. W. A. IIAYLKB. 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, ic. The eminent 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 and Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can also suy 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 tlie letters of which 1 publish su ffi 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 attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory “ “ oftlie 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 nr weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind ot intemperance or dissipation.
