.N KGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
I’rcpared liy JT. W. SI. 11.
licusons wliy it should be used instead of any other treat
ment iu all Febrile affections:
I *l.—Economy of Time. —As only on- .ereiith
.1 ilia ordinary lime is required to affect a cure.
‘lil.Kcflnmy of Money. —As il r-wta but one
dollar.
ilnl. Kconuiuy of Feeling.—As it saves the
suffering of a loin; sickness and the lull sequent treat
ment: the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
uiisliciiie, their disagreeable operation, and the pain o!
long confinement; but little of the fluid being ueee.saai'y,
ami that pleasant in its effects.
4 1 li.—Economy of Tliouglit,— As when
known, il will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting; febrileaffertinna; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
dill.—Economy of llcallli.—As the system
fe not rislueod. and I'ulisnijUi-ntly lacked; nor is the lever
sulijeet to be followed by chronic disease.
t)l li. Economy of l.lfc.—As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in u corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Ollier reasons might lie added, but these are doomed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are mole particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on tin, first attack, Imt will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
'd to or Itavo heroine reduced, corresponding of course
to Iho nature of thu case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As tiiis remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent rliof, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
wi re not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘-It was trifling
a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have liecn
nothing of consequence—it would have passed oft with
out anything—l hat medicine had no effect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever Is such, that thoughts
ooi unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
i naturally us men think at all; and it is not until
Idle individual hits witnessed many eases that he can fully
11 ali/,e the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very ti Ming cases, which would have 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 particular
attention, or though Hueccsslu) in roduciug the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the ‘■Fluid” passes
off, as tlio exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in sum cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.”
Iti nuirks on Fevers In Oeiieral*
(in tiiis 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
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and haliits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general cliaractcr
i tii s that ol undue excitement in tlio circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less iinniitund fre
quency in tlm pulse, sense of boat, dryness of the skill,
debility, k c.
‘l'o show that I am not wholly alono in the opinion l
advance, I quote from the eelehrafeil I’ref. T. Watson,
of King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
oiir medical colleges, and consequently xtandard authority.
•In page X:U, lie says : —“We bear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. liy tlie public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
•Vc. Ami systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Entcric, and
o forth. Now. admitting that, fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind ol all Ibis sub-division, is had and hurtful, it
encourages 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,
t Imt can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the inest dissimilar of them, lin’d are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress 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 !„■ will instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so os to be properly named by the most scientific,
‘fills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or vicious of mind, lint on experience at the bod
ole of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
thy myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Dear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured yon will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing mol dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before tiie “ Fluid” is given, cither by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
nil of tin, most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies”
and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Huh'x important to be oturned in all casts in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may lie sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always lie free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
ltd. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
• ovum stances.
Illi When the fever begins to subside, patients must
lie left perfectly quiet: free from all excitement; should
Hot bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to eonverse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their mon natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak: nor
liould any conversation be allowed in tliclr hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, liut be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
alii. 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, louioimde, iiny simple decoctions, or teas, either
fold or warm, as parties may prefer or putients desire.
tth. Blmuld patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so iis to occasion a
restlessness after the fever Inis passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wme. toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
hi east may lie bathed in cold water: either of which
will give immediate relief.

By observing tile above directions, the medicine will

-ervauces.
Itllioiis oi- Itemittent Fiver.
(live a toaapoiiliil of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oil; this
e,institutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
lexer, witli such observances as are set forth in the
” Unit's.” But should there lux prominent haul symp
toms, or known loeal existing causes, they should lie
attended to at once, and wldle giving the “Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
It in auy case the bowel- ire particularly constipated
or routined, glvo a eatiiarlic (see auxiliaries) with the
til I portion; they must b, opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse miming 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to Ilia influence of medicine—not easily operated on bv
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
mav be given at first witli advantage, and even repeated
in two lioiiiw —if it—the pulse—lias not been softened.
Hue .-bowing tin l medicine lias taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline xvasli, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difllcult cases, will afford relief and aid
tlie medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
llivetwo tea-poonstul and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full uud soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to Is- discontinued as the fever subsides. As
the bowels are generally court lied, and it is frequently
very difficult to gad medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should lie lost to get them open, give some active
< utliartic with tlie “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
lrietiou (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, raid
i|.plication* to the head. Quluinp may be added to t| lt .
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship uml Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, tlie pulse
small ami 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 week* under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will bo necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced —which may
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 bail cases, from three to live grains each ol i/uiiiine
I and cupxicuni (Oayenne pepper) or some tonic atai stiniu
: taut (see auxiliaries) should lie added to each dose. Die
| bowel* should be kept gently open, and small portions
i id’ Home hey die should lie given occasionally, even
though the b-Twels should in; very loose, file patient
should ho sustained hy nourishing and niucilagcnous
; drinks—such as are in common use iu such cases.—
Whore tlie skin is very dry,sponging tlie surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will lie found advantageous.
Tunics should lie used during convalescence, iu all cases
which have liecume reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, hung
or Winter Fever.
(jive a teaspooiiful of tlie “Fluid’ every two hours,
witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or
hull’ tlie quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, ut longer intervals, say once ill six or eight hours.
Tlie boneset tea should be given warm till tlie violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ol
the kind, to lie applied over tlie seat of pain; keep tile
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Kulieoln and Scarla
tina} or Nina 11 Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
anil Scarlet Fever.
As all Ilf these diseases are attended with fever, which
ill fact i- the most prominent symptom, the treatment
difli is line little from that of common fevers, ltomembcr
never wait to learn tlie “name,” whether it isona or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with freer, Imt
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will lie no
trouble; there will lie liut little eruption even in small
pox. Tiiis, to most minds, is a now idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make tlie assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will hr cat short; attended with but little erup
tion ; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running iis ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, liut ail that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this sulijeet, I have good authority; that of
I'rof. Batson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874 :
” You may abate tiie force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie number of the pustules by
spline purge*, tic.” Here is the admission that it may
be done. I nave not only proven it mag be, but lias
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. Bee tlie account appended.
(live a teaspooiiful or more, according to tlie urgency
oi’ tlie case, witli a dose, of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub—
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tlie fever under control. When the throat is alfected,
any ol’ tlie ordinary gargles may la; used, and tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tlie ship Duchess d’Orleans, tlie tongue
and faucus were aomuch swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
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 tliroatwiis reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best gurgle 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 Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to boos little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspooiiful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will savo 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 be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken ut a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the must so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
Jt will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sootli and
quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
I To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie, treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under tiiis head general
directions for all cases. As tlie Negative Klectric Fluid
will change tiie condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex
pected to control nil 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 sohultl be given while
giving tlie “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub
due thu fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tlie tirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
witli dlarrhu'U, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“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 cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe
tlie feet in hot wuter; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will lie no trou
ble ; if tlie 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 lias become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach
to doasy 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 the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary: in short, treat all tlie 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 lie astonished at tlie ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel ut a loss to know wluxt is meant liy
cathartics. ,U\, as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using tlie Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz.:—
Cal Iran lea.—Articles that purge or operate on tlie
bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, ami many pills, antibllious, Ac.; anythin l ’
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for tiiis purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
tluonce. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
muss—the third, podopliyliin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on: each may take liis choice and lie suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles thatgive tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thoroughwort is one of tlie best used in fevers.
Asli iugciil*. Bin'll as cheek the action of tiie
bowels, Laiidnnumand other preparations of opium are
used; piso, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie last;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are tlio only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Klectric Fluid is a better •• dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
••sedative” than known in tlio materia medial.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs
depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, anil will’
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
PHckctsliip Ductless D’Orleans.
w liich cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
Me, the undersigned, certify to tlie” following, viz
M e took passage on tlie packetship l)iu lless d'Orlenn*.
Capt Hutton, then lying iu the port of Havre, Franco',
iiinl bound for New York. She sailed on the fltli of Au
gust. 1851, 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 tile physician in charge, Pr. N. M'. Beat, w itli
anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over tlie disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty case* of small pox. some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From w hat we saw during said passage, we arc fully
convinced that tlie medicine used by Dr. Beat on tlie oc
casion. iwissessos Inestimable virtue’s. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections bring controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to tlie nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a death! The
tact speaks for itself.

WHICH HAVE A COMMON OKIUIN IN
MAUAHIA Olt MIASMA.
fI’HKSE diseases are common to many localities of tlio
J. United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South. East or West, they all equally spring from tlie
same miasmal cause. Tlie great variety oi symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but us the
cause is tiie 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 lias its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or in 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 tlie same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating in tlie atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is iu tlie preparation before us, offered to
the public,
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it couies in con
tact with it. even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities tlie system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
Thu 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 :
Jt will instantly check the 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, a radical cure will I* 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 the poison in tiie system, it will
immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent tlie accession of
GeinralDcliUily and Night Sweat*,
which so often follow tlie administration of other mede
cines. Tlie 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 he banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe 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 tlie most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of tlie CUKE iu 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.
M’heir 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 wliat 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 superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On tiiis 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 and Entire Harmlessness,
The following certificate front one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle:
New 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 cither in it, nor have I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES li. CXIILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work hy
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 one
under consideration, if the medicine be 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, ami not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
it will often bo found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate ilose 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 costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, 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 wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
anil destroy, to a degcee commensurate with its expo
sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise he
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cure” blown in tlie
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
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
will he considered sufficient.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Orleans, April 9, 1855.
Dear Sir—-The public generally nre fully aware of iho
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that arc
daily brought to their notice through tlie newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing tiiis note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who uro afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Heal Use in Dulmnnary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most uuprofessionally,imd ilcrngu
hirily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. 1 refer to Woodman’s Chert v
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any Os the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, m. D.
Gallatin, Miss.. May 1, 1855.
o. 0. Woodman—Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair (rial and am well pleased with its ef
tccts: better than any other article 1 ever met with, i
would he pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles liy the hearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason. M. D.
I his preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, |c"lds. uud in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat
w ill probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural ami 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 is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to tie 1 letter tlum any Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant.’

See wlintthe President of the Pharmaceutical Society
I of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
i tidoto to Malaria:
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. lu, 1855.
I IAVING noticed tlie certificate of chemical analysis
II given by tlie celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in favor of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
cuiqi nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications lor it, 1 wits induced to send to Dr.
lor tlie medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.

Providence, June 29, 1855.
Having been informed of the illness of a poor, hut
worthy woman, who Inis not been fie e from Fcverund
Ague a month ut a time for’the last twelve years, I sup
plied her gratuitously witli Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, and as four mouths
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma
nency of the cure.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Hear Sir: —1 have just sent
an order to Amos & Holliday for another half gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure, it has sold like “ Hot Calces,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
lias sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 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, aud they were all satisfied. 1 had one ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, hut the man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN I*. (iLADDINO.

from your general agent, at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.

We remain respectfully yours,

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.
Maxwell, Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir-—Your medicine has met
w itli the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I
havo about five bottles left. 1 give it to them at first,
•if no cure no pay,’ although I was uot authorized by
you to do so; but I took the responsibility on myself.—
But not a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out
of the article I wisti you would forward me one gross of
the bottles, if you see proper to do so, aud I will he
punctual in payment. I inclose fifteen dollars on the
medicine 1 have received, for which please send me a
receipt. Ship the cure to me as soon as you can—there
never has been as much Chills and Fever since I lived in
the State, as at present. Yours, kc.,

Dit. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It lias not
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress
ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one
bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four
dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATIIROP & MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. 1 was first attacked by
chills aud 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
I 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 your medicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

In another column of to-day's paper will be found an
advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.”
We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire
to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that M'm. 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 medi
cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it
before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Uomisboro,

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 taking an
“AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So tar it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in 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. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who lias been fully cured hy only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. ‘ Vi. A.HAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
in tlie United States, Canadas, &c. Tlie eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. K. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
tiie Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
I can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will he noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish su h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
tillany newspaper, and prove the tact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected hy
using a bottle or two during tlio 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 mid strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened hy
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
