NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared liy N. VV. rival, J|. !>• Reasons why it should bo mod instead of wry other treat ment in all Febrile affections: l>l.—Kcnoniy of Time.—As only ane-seuenth of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. 4i1.--Ktt>iit>iii> of Money* —As it c sits hut one dollar. 3rd.—Economy of Keeling.— As it saves the suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long con linemen t; but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. 4tit.—Economy of Tliouglit.— As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. .■tilt.—Economy of Health.— As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be lhllowed by chronic disease. Ot It. — Economy of Life. —As the cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. titlier reasons might he added, hut these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons in all condi tions of life. The alaive reasons are more particularly applicable to the Immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the caso at the timo it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—lt could have I nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had noeffoct.” The general impression on the subject of lover is such, that thoughts not unlike tho ,’above follow tiie cure of a common ease as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until i lie individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully realize tlie truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would luivc readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require purtieular attention, or though successful in reducing the fever, it will again rise uh the influence of the “ Fluid” passes oil, as tin; exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that I have given and frequently refer to wliat 1 have called a “ synopsis.” Rnnai'ks on Fevers In General* On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood, liy the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which tho human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but ns they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and liabits, they of course differ considerably in their development aud exhibit a variety us forma or types; yet all are distinguished by tho saint! general character istics—that of undue excitement in thu circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, L quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of Klog's College, London, w hose work on the “ I’rinci pies and Practice of J'bysic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standardaulJiority. On page 834, lie says : —“We bear continually, both in and of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Ity the public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low F’ever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Giwtro-Knterlc, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever show's itself under various forms, I aui persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all Ibis sub-division, is bail and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scrilsi lor a disease according to its mime. There is no line of genuine distinction between oon(timed fevers, that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each oilier, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Theidsiveisagreatfoct, one worthy of remembrance and I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it, at once as hereafter directed, and you mill lie well instead of any distinctchuractor being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, lint on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumsflsnees, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, and treat at ouco without regard to mime, and rest assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either liy neglect, or under some other treatment, l will describe as briefly as possible the proper courso to be pursued In all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ ltules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Holes important to lie observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should bo given in three or fouff times its own quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at pleasure. lid. Patients must bo free from all currents of air, (though there should always be free ventilation in the nick room,) nor attempt logo about while under its in fluence. dd. it must ho 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 circumstances. ■Dli. When tlie fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free front all excitement; should not be questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till I boil own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but lie left quiet to all intents and purposes. htli. Fluids should lie allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as t lie patient desires and no longer: they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or w arm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. tilh. Should patients experience any oppression or faint ness while in tlie lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness utter tlie fever lms 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 and breast may lie bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLK OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 30 “ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60 “ “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a tcaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a toaspootiful is u common dose. Old persons do not require ns much ns young, or those in tlie prime of life; nor females, ns a general rule, ns much as males. There is no part icular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given tile above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, i bildren require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, tlie medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, tlie expectations of the most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly astonished. My object ill being thus particular is, that l lie full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob ■ ervances. Hilton* or Kriulttrnt Fuvfr. Clive it tcasponful of “ Fluid'’ (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tlio fever is evidently passing oil'; tiiis constitutes tlu> whole trout moot in nil simple eases of fever, with such observances us are set forth in the ‘• Rules.” Hut should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.” S*) Synopsis. If in any cue the bowel me particularly constipated or coil lined, give a eutln,. tic (see auxiliaries) with the lirst portion; they must lie opened or the fever may rise again. tV hero the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to tln> inttueuee of medicine—not easily operated on liy medicine generally—a double dost*, or two teaspoousful may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened, tints showing tlio medicine lias taken effect. bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the sailtiu wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid tlio medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Hive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse Isvimies more full mid soft, then only a tea spoonful, to bo discontinued as tlio fever subside!. As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get niedieiue to operate in tills disease, no time should ho lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also bo used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the ” Fluid” if thought advisable. Bee Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship anil 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 ami wiry, with a general great depression, tliero is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as uiy treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when I'uily developed, a little patience will be required; still eoni|iaratively little, as they frequently run weeks under tlio common treatment, while with this blit a few days will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—which limy immediately follow any other without detriment— with a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger In volume, then to be continued once in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In had cases, from three to live grains each of quinine and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some touic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. The Isiwels should lie kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should lie sustained by nourishing and mucilagcnoiis drinks—such as arc ill common use in such cases. — Where tlie skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will lie found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases which have lieconie reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Live a teaspoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boucsot; or half tho quantity may lie given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should bo given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ol tlie kind, to he upplied over the seat of pain; keep tlie bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and .Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of tiieso diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers, llemeinher never wait to learn the “ name,” whether It is one or the other, or neither, as they nil commence with fever, but treat it ut once; govern the fever and there will lie lio trouble; there will he but little, eruption even in small pox. Tliis, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will lie regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless Isildly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, mill be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and Unit there is no necessity ot its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, hut all that 1 hold most dear; besides, on thissuhject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: “ You may abate the force of tlie eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, tlie number of the. pustules liy spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may lie done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, liut has been done in numerous cases that occurred on hoard ship. See tlie account appended. (live a tcaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency of tho case, witli a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; lint it should tie given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tlie ordinary gargles may he used, ami tlie surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duclicss d’Orleans, tlie tongue and fuucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping tlie Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every 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 tlie Fluid alone.— Used to wet tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best, gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever., Tliis heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to Ini of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as tlie Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the lever continues, as in other cases. Tlie bowels of course should he attended to. In connection witli this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tlie 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-birtli, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to bo appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. KostlcssncßS, nervous irritability, ora cold token at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient ami effectual remedies for many of tlie ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritaliility of tlie nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As tiie Negative Eloctric Fluid will change tho condition called fever, or subdue aud control it under nil circumstances, without regard to tho name it may he or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo 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 tlie “ Fluid,” and in connection witli it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As tho Fluid” alone will sub due tho lever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. if tin 1 bowels are costive, give a cathartic (sec auxili aries) witli the first dose, or soon alter, and should it fail to operate in duo time, repeal tho dose; if attended with diurrluea, give something known to bo good for that complaint, though if caused liy irritability, the “ Fluid” will soou reliovo 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 tlie head, apply cold water, ico water, if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe tho l'cct in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tlie sail no wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking 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 of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tiie patient lias 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 tliis purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse thu stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will he astonished at tlie ease 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. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to he fully understood by ail, 1 wilt name a tew of tlie different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cat hurt tea.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, sucli as castor oil, salts, senna, uny of the r&uts or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to lie goodforsuch purposes. IleputtcM.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tlie articles depended on by tho different schools for tliis purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. Ami one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tlie third, intdophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; cadi may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonics.— Articles that give tone or strength, such os quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents. —Such as check the action of the bowels. Uudunum and other preparations of opium arc used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Btlinulant*.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences ureal) more or less stimulating. These arc the only classes necessa ry ill treating fevers, though many others are generally used, l-ut tlie Negative Electric Fluid is a better •• dia phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” -relaxant” and ’’ sedative” than known in the materia medica. I -h.ill not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, tlmt on the l’ucki tslii|i Duclicss D'Orlcnus. which cannot l>e classed among ordinary certificates: Wo, tho undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz— We took passage on the packctship Duchess d’Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying in tho port of Havre. France and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tho small pox broke out among tlie emigrants, They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, with anew remedy of his own, which lie culls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it in a lew hours, and curing in u very short time. During tlie voyage, whicli lasted thirty-nine days, then’ were about eighty cast's of small pox, some fever Ac., aud not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From wliat we huw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtue's. We never before heard or read of fohrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness aud certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

Olt MIASMA. rriIESK diseases are common to many localities of the X United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they ail equally spring from the some miosmul cause. The great variety ol symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; but us tiie cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. liy the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising l'rotn Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal ami vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tlie same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in tlie atmosphere, causing disease to till who breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tlie preparation before us, offered to tlie public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in tho open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and tints restores and preserves health. Tho remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from oue day to twenty years, and by coutinning its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; tlie patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon tlie poison in tiie system, it will immediately relieve nil tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility nntl Night Bxveats, which so often follow tlie administration of other mede cines. Tlie patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, aud continues to improve until restored to perfect health. 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 be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tho sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since tho introduction of tlie CUBE in every part of tiie United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these decimations wore 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 wliat was stiil 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 superadded to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On tliis 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 tlie Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is also Worthy off Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessncss, The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists m the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: Niw York, June 11, 1855. ••I 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 tlie constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. Tlie 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 one under consideration, if tlie medicine he taken in advance. Tliis is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one and tho same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tiie timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tlie Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tlie poison before it docs hal m. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often bo found necessary to precede tliis medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tlie 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 tliis is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he taken or tlie operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour tlie contents of one. or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tho air wafted across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degiec commensurate witli its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlie apartment. Tliis 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 tiie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and on tho outside wrapper is tiie name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevept counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient, l’reparedand sold by tho proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. I, For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS A CO., February 10, 1856. ly Druggists.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it lias been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and iu 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 tlie enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur medicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, TIIGMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever aud Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm.

This proves the medi cine to lie good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of tlie public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Ml. Kept, 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir —I 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 auy 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 lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. 0. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Iml., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A.

Respectfully yours, ’ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and do sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. w. A. IIAYLES. 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 tlie United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New Y ork. certifies to its per- * feet innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tlie 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 tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great, claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them nil, and it will lie noticed that tlie letters of which I publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fillany newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess aud sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory of tlie 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 tlie atmospheric poison Malariu, to which tho Cure is a perfect antidole.
