ItemurkHon Fevers la General*
tin lli is subject I wish to be fully understood, liy the
term ‘'levers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
whirl, the human frame is subject, including small pox
md other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and iu quite dissimilar constitutions
.mil linliits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general charnctcr
i-tics that ol undue excitement in tlio circulatory and
nervous systems—lnducing more or less uriimtunil fre
pieniy in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
‘l'o show that] am not wholly alone In the opinion 1
.dvaiice, i quote from the celebrated l’rof. T. Watson,
I King's College, Condon, whose work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is ti text hook iu many of
• mr medical colleges, and consequently standawlaulhority.
iln page sad, he says:—"We hear continually, both in
n lid out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By (lie public. Typhus Fever, Bruin Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Cow Fever, Nervous Fever,
.vc. And sysleuiiitic writers are to the full ns particular;
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (iastro-Kuteric, and
... forth. Now, admitting that lover shows itself under
unions forms. I am persuaded that tho effaot upon the
mind ol all this sub-division, is hiul and hurtful, it
encourages a disposition, already t<s> prevalent, to pre
*. rihe for a disease according to its name.. There is no
one of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied oil. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to t lie same cause.” *
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would Ini pens on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
lever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you
("ill he well instead of any distinctcliaractet’ being devel

ing and dangerous fevers. But ns cases may have be
ierne developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the” Rules”
and‘‘Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attemlunoe upon the sick.

will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for w lioui
a teaspoon fill is u common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular rare necessary in giving it to
hiidreii—those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but lor a little guide, I have given the
above table, with tlie remark that, as a general rule,
liihlreii require more than adults iu proportion.
By observlug file above directions, lit.- medicine will
lie found agreeable in all of its elfects, the expectations
-I the most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of tho medicine may he obtained, and
not on aecouut of any actual necessity of such strict ob
■ ervanoes.
Bilious or Ki iuit tent Fever.
Give a teaspouful of “ Fluid” (nee rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
fiver, with such observances us are set forth iu the
’ Bull's.” lint should there lie prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie
attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
lfin any cans tlie bowel- are particularly constipated
-a couliued, give a lallia. lic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must lie opened or tin* fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not parlicularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on liy
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousfiil
muy he given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two houm —if it—the pulse—lias not been softened,
tfius showing tin. medicine lias taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, iu these difficult cases, w ill afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two tcaxpoonsful and repeat every two liours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to he discontinued as the fever subsides. As
the bowels ere generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to opera to in tills disease,
no time should la. lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “Fluid” and repent us may lie neres
-ary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to tlie extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to tlie head. Quinine may he added to the
” Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Frvrr, Typhus, Ship nnl Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a lew grade, the pulse
•mall and w iry, w itli a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In them* low fevers, w hen
fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently mu weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should he commenced —which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
s teaspoonftii of “ Fluid” every two liours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger >n volume, then to bo continued
cnce in six or eight hour* till the fever entirely subsided.
In laid oases, from tbreetofive grains each of quinim
and capdrum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (sue auxiliaries) should he udded to each dose. The
bowels should Ih. kepi gently open, and small portions
ol solitv hepatic should lie given occasionally, even
though tlie liffwola should lie very loose. The patient
should Is- sustained by nourishing and mueilagenous
drinks —-such as are iu common use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry,sponging the surface as di
rected iu bilious fever, will lie found advantageous.
Tonics should lie used during convalescence, iu all eases
which have heroine reduced.
l’lM-.uinoiiiu, Typhoid Pneumonia, hung
or Winter Fever. .
(iivea traspuuiilnl ot the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong deeoctiiiu of honrset; or
hnll tin quantity may bo given every hour till relieved,
then, ut longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hums.
Tho iioneset tea should lie given warm till tlie violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard planter, or something ot
the kind, to lie applied over the seat ol pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, itiilicoln mill Scarla
tina) or Small Fox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As ail of these diseases are attended with fever, Which
in fact is tho most prominent symptom, the treatment
dilh in hue little from that qf common fevers, lteuicmlier
never wail lo learn tlie “mime,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, us they ull commence with freer, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there w ill lie no
trouble; there will he hut little erajitdnl even iu small
jinx. Tills, to most minds, is u new idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make tlie assertion, that small pox, if treated its
1 direct, will he cut short; attended with but littlucrup
tion; little or no pitting, ami that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
net only my reputation, lint all that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874:
*■ Vou may übate tlie force of tho eruptive fever, amt
keep down, it is believed, the a amber of the pustules liy
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
lie done, i nave not only proven it may he, hut has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. Sec the account appended.
• live a teaspoonful 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 feversub
sides —though pne or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should bo given and repented sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
liny of the ordinary gargles limy be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orlaana, the tongue
and faucus were So much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses ( Very hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best yuryle in all such cases.
Puti'pcrul or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonlul, 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 Lie re
peated as long as tlie lover continues, as in other coses.
Tho bowels of course should be attended to.
Iu connection with 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 tlie happy effect of tlie Fluid iu
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
southing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring, ltestlessness, 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 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 iritubility of the nervous as well as tlie circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tlie System so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence 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 the Negative Klectric Fluid
will change tlie condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tiie
name it may he or ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when siudi exist, must lie removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur iu any case, they should
he appropriate means, aud these sohutd he given while
giving tho “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will thou more readily act.
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then he lost. As tlio ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
duo tlie fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tlio bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due tirno, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhu a, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho
“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 tlio head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tlio feet ill hot water; if tlie lover is very high, skin
dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline 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 he no trou
ble; if the patient Inis been reduced or is much prostra-
give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
level's, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlie patient lias become re
duced: if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he
allayed before any medicine w ill remain on the stomach
to do any good: lor this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” mid a cathartic if
necessary; ill short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
us you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“Fluid” at tlio same time as directed, and success w ill
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will lie astonished nt the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may fool ut a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics. Ac., us physicians tire usually particular
about w liat is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using tlio Fluid, and to he fully understood by
all, l w ill name u tew of tlio different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz :
Untlmrt tea.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, sucli as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, ,Xe.; anything
known to bo good for such purposes.
Iteputicu. —Anything known to net on tho liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions gctu-rallv.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools’
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one utay choose calomel— another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllln—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take liis choice and bo -uo
cessful.
Tonics. —Articles thatglve tune or strength, such
us quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or tliorougliwort is one of the best used in fi-rcis.
Astringents.— Such ns check tlie action of the
bowels. Luulanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.— Articles that raise or exeito the
system. Uupsictmt (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best :
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essence* arc all more
or less stimulating. Til esc are tho only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is it bettor “dia
phoretii',’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
” sedative” than known ill tho Materia lurdiea.

► WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MA LjAIAIA Olt MIASMA.
riMIKME diseases are common to many localities of t lie
1 United Stales; hilt wherever they prevail, North,
South, Kasi or West, they all equally spring from the
same miuamul cause. Tho great variety ol symptoms and
forms of disease is owing princijislly to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; imt as the
cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove t Imt cause.
liy tlie 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, Btaguant water, decompo
sition of animal aud vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is tlie some iu character and effect; is a poi
son floating in tho atmosphere, causing diseasetoall who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is iu tlie preparation before us, offered to
the public,
Tlie Natural Antidote to Muluriu,
Which neutralizes tlie poison whenever it conies in con
tael wiiii it, even iu tlie open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and finis restores anil preserves
health.
Tlie remedy is believed to bo entirely new , mid un
known to any hut tlie proprietor, wiio distinctly claims
tlie 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 lie effected; tlie patient contin
uing free from ihccoinplalntforever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
lit its operation upon tlie poison in tlie system, it will
immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it
w ill entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Niglif Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mede
elnofi. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may he banished front
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics„und 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 the most valuable part of the
year.
Since tlie introduction of tlie CURB 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
tiie most candid minds, because ail flio resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilions
diseases; and whatwas still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, sucli as Arsenic, Quinine. Mercury, Solicjnc, Ac.
Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful aliuiit 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 Kntire Ilai-mlessness,
Tho following certificate from one ol'tlio most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias 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 either in it, nor have I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy 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 the one
under consideration, if tlie medicine he taken in advance.
This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one an!
tlie samo 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 their veins, to develop itself iu a .violent
attack. Take the Cure us a preventive, and so destroy
tin* 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 la. found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tlie
very best- tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
tins is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must betaken
or the operation of tiie antidote will lie seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour
tlie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu
sleeping rooms; for tlie vapor rising from tlie medicine,
and also tlie air wafted across, or circulated over tlie
dregs of it, alter tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise be
resorted lo when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure “ blown in tlie
glass, ami on tlie outside wrapper is the mime of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie
signature ot tlie- proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance eor rrs success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

New Orleans, April 9. 1855.
Dear Sir—Tlie public generally are fully aware of the
tliousniuls of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under tiie titles
of Sarsiqiarilhis, Pills, Plasters. Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object iu writing this note
•'or publication, is to induce the public, nr at least those
who tire afllictcd, to use one that contains articles of
A'.ii/ t'.ie in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious Quit in
sodoiug, I am acting most improfcsainnully. and deroga
turii v to the interests of Medical .Science mnl tlie regular
Practitioners of Medicine. 1 refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used witli more sueoesa than any of tlie usual proscrip
tions used by Physicians. y

•>. O. Woodman— Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry

I teds : better than any other article I ever met witli. 1
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen but
( ties by the bearer. Respectfully.

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal miecess which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
tliis medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of tlie throat,
will probably he preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
1 !* ls ” excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping ine i*owern in proper tone.
Remember that this is tile only Cough Medicine that
lias Stood tlie test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioiu'd by. approved of, and recommended by tlie lending
I liysicians ot New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to tie better than any Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant.

ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.

See what the President of the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria:
Sr. Lotus. Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
I IAVINU noticed tlie certificate of chemical analysis
II given by tho celebrated chemist Dr. J. K. Chiffon,
of New York city, in favor of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous up
pliciitious for it, I wits induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for tiie medicine. Since then I hate 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. I am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.

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

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

Dr. 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 tho distress
ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one
bottle of the Cure. Please send m immediately four
dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATIIROP & MCLEAN.
Core of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having heen entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills aud fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and in spite of the different remedies
aud treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Since that time 1 have not had a single chill, and atn
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur in -dicine the success that it merits,
1 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 Wm. N.
Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who lias it for sale, in
forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in
every ease 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, hoemsbt/ro,

Kvidence 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 has 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. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Pliysician.
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.

Louisville No. 11, C. K. R, Ga., Jan. 1, 1850.
Your Ague Cure Ims overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, ami de
sired mo to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. \y r . A.HAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of tho CURE, which is being intro
duced rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the l uited States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist. I)r. .1. 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.
I can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take tlio 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 tho letters
of which l publish su h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
Ull any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie f rowning Glory*
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using u bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a mini 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 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
whoso constitutions have heen shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind ol intemperance or dissipation.
