NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prrpareil by . VV. Seal, M. U.
t! cumins why it should ho lined instead of any other trout
mi nt in all Kehrile affections:
Ist—Economy of Time.—A* only onesecenth
•f tho ordinary time is required to effort a cure.
4d—Kcononi y of Money*— -As it c.ists hut one
dollar.
ilftl. Economy of Kecliil(s““A* It sales the

medicine, their disiKreeuhlu operation. and the j.iiin of

a.id that pleasant ill its effect*.
nil. Economy of ‘riliniKlil, —As when
known, It will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting fehrile iiffertions; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
, r > til.—Economy of Ilcnltll*—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently raeked; nor Is the fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
titli. — Economy of l.lfc. — As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a latnl
termination.
Other reasons might bo lidded, hut these are deemed
siiUieieut to satisfy all classes and persons in all colidl
tiotiH of life.
Tlie above reasons are more particularly applicable to
Che iinmediuto treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or huve become reduced, corresponding of eourse
*o tlie nature of tho case at the time it is lirst. adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual andpenmi
m lit relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons run scarcely realize that they hud
l,ecu really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
were not attacked with fever, and if ho, “it was trifling
i little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—lt would haVo passed off witli
mit anything -that medicine had no effect.” Thegoneral
impress ion on tho subject of fever is such, that thoughts
■ eil unlike the [alsive follow the euro of a common caso
n iimliiihll.v as men think ut all; and it is not until
Hi.’ Individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude thorn
ill very trifling eases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they hnvo
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of coses, must
i vpeet that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great ns to requlro particular
ittcutlon, oi though successlul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes
off. as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in snen cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Its murks on Fevers in (h'lin uh
On this subject I wish to he 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; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and ill quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of eourse differ considerably in tlieir
development end exhibit a vurioty of forms or types;
yet all ale distinguished hy the same general character
istics —that of undue excitement in tho 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 Hint I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, I quote from tin. eelebrafed Ih’of. ‘l*. Watson,
and King'd College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of
our medical colleges, anil consequently standard author!/y.
On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
sen of. li.v the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever,
A.. Aml systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mnoons Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Knterlo, and
so forth. Now, admitting Hint lever shows itself under
various forms, l mil persuaded that the effect upon tho
mind of ail this sub-division, is hod and hurtful, it
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
s libe for a disease according to its name. There is no
hue of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of 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 us hereafter directed, and you
mill Im well instead of any distinoteharacter being devel
oped, sons to lie properly named hy the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed
ide of dm sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
thy myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and lest
assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have be
come developed bofore the “ Fluid” is given, either hy
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
i” briefly us possible the proper course to lie pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

plentifully, andas long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous

cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
t.th, Should patients exporieuce any oppression or
faintness while ill the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with it little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the fare and
breast may bo bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
uo practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, w hen
fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced —which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoon fill 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.

and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu

bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions
of some hejtalie. should Is* given occasionally, even
though the b.Twols should bo wry loose. Tile patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where tlie skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous.
Tonics hlioiiM be used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.

The lioneNct tea should bo given warm till the violent
symptoms ur allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then

tho kind, to lie applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Vnriolu, Vniloloiri. Kulieola anil Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Itemeniber
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is onu or tlie
other, or neither, as they all commence with freer, but
treat It ut once; govern tjie fever and there wilt bo no
trouble; there will be but little, eruption even in small
pox. Tiffs, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will, be cut short ; attended vvilii but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, hut all that I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874:
“ Vou may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, In:.” Here is the admission that it may
be done. I nave not only proven it maybe, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred ou board
ship. Bee the account appended.
(live a tcaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with 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;
but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may lie used, and the
surface bathed, us thought advisable.
In uno case, on the ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue
and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured hy dropping tho
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat wils reduced so us to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargk in all such cases.
I’iicl'pcral or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single ilose or two of a
tcaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alurm need he entertained, as the
Fluid w ill arrest it in a short time. It should be re
pented us long us the fever continues, us in other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remurks, which, if regarded by
the Indies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
ninny of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will he relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies formally of the ills id’ females, if not
the most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritnbility of the nervous tu well as the circulatory,
it will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one cun sleep naturally and
healthy; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, I giveunder this headgeuerui
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tho condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may he or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As tho ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, l call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first ilose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or intlammation, 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 tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the lever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bat-lie the
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 the medi
cine ill taking effect, after whicli there will he no trou
ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlie patient has become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, tiiat must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary: in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; iudeod, you cannot realize it. till you
have seen, and then you will l>e astonished at the 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. I have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood hy
all, 1 will name it tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz :
Cat Hurt ten.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, mid many pills, untibilious, Ac.: anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation uml secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on hy the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
w ith the •• Fluid” or while tlie system is under its In
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, poilophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and lie suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
os quinine, various barks, roots and hitter herbs. Itouc
set or tlioroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bow els. Liudiiuum and other preparations of opium are
used, also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,*’ “anodyne.” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
•• sedative” than known ill tho materia vtrtlica.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
I'm-krtslii|> Duchess D’Orlcans.
which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
W’e took passage on the pucketship Duchess d’OiTeaus.
Cupt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France,
and hound for New York. She sailed on the fith of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated hy the physician in charge. Dr. N. \V. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in it few hours, and curing
in ii very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
then’ were about eighty coses of small pox,some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of fehrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to tlie nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox ami fever ou board, and not a death! The
tact speaks for itself.

WHICH HAVE A COMMON OItIUIN IN
MZVT.AIIIA OH MIASMA.
IIHIKHK diseases are common to many localities ot the
X United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring iroui tlie
same miosuia! cause. The great variety ot symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; but as the
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
Hint is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws ol Nature, every principle has its opposite,
ami for every disease, or cause ol disease, there is a re
agent, or In other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from .Marshes, Staguant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing Die unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to
tlie public,
The Natural Antidote to Mulurla,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact w ith it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its
baneful ihfiuunce, and thus restores and preserves
health.
’Tlie remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un
known tu ally 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 one day to twenty
years, and by containing its iihu, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will be effected ; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
expusure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
lii its operation upon the poison in tlie system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
. ions or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it
will entirely preventtlie accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mede
cinos. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect lion It 1 1 .
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 tlieir 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 the introduction oi the CURE 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 tlie date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all (lie resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
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 ouly
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are snperadded
to tlie pour sufferer’s first complaint.
Op this account ague sufferers should lie particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert
they may lie taken witli 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, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence*
Because of its
.Singular and Kill ire Ilarmlessnesg,
Tlie following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle:
New York, June XI, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it lor Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have Ifound
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the 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 tlie 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 ns the one
under consideration, if tlie medicine lie taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
tlie same cause, and therefore nil, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take tlie Cure ns a preventive, and so destroy
tlie poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi
cine hy a mild cathartic or untibilious purgative. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation ol’ tlie antidote will lie seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —In 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 tlie medicine,
mid also the air Availed across, or circulated over tlie
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degice commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise he
resorted tu when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tlie
glass, and on tho 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.

Dear Sir—-Tho public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under thetitles
of Sursuput’ilhiK. Pills. Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought, to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Heal I’se in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that, in
so doing, I am acting most uuprofessioiially, and deroga
tm ih lo the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used with more success than any Os the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland. M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1555.
“■ 0. Woodman—DearSir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
tects; better than any other article 1 ever met with. 1
w ould be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation lms attained a wide celebrity from
tlie universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and 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 ottered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be lound excellent, its natural aud genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers ill proper tone.
Remember that this is tlie ouly Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sane
t toned by. approved of, and recommended hy the leading
Physicians ol New York eltv. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaian
tee it to be better than auy Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver
OU. or anything else now extant.’

GREAT TRIUMPHS
AND
UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF
RHODES’ FEVER AND AGUE CURE,
Oil
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as u Preventive or Cure.
NO POISON. PROOFS !
See what tlie President of the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria:
Sr. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
U A VINO noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given hy (.lie celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
ol New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mci
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, J was induced to send to Dr. Jihodes
lor the medicine. Since then I 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 lie all that
the proprietor represents.

Presd’t of Pharpiaccuticul Society of Missouri.

Providence, June 29, 1855.
Having been informed of tlie illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who lias not been ire e from Fuverjmd
Ague ii month at a time lor tlie last twelve years, l sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever aud Ague
Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re
stored iter to health and strength, and as four months
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt I he perma
nency of the cure.

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

Moline, 111., Sept. 24. 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —The box of “ Ague

demand tor more; to meet which we have ordered
from your general agent, at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.
its sale will ouly be equalled by the number of Fever
and Ague cases. Hoping these cases may be few, yet
have a bottle for every case.
We remain respectfully yours,
RICHARDS A ALLEN.

you to do so; but I took tho responsibility on myself.—
But not a bottle has come hack, and as I am almost out

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 lias been to me. I waR lirst 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, aud am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur medicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS 0. 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 has it for sale, in
forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in
every case it has 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, Boonsburo,

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 the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AOXIE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days sinee she got a bottle of
the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man
also used tlie same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticei.lo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —I have been iu the practice
of Medicino 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. It. R., a., Jan. 1,186 G.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A. HAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of tlie CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
iu tho United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. it. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
tlie 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 he realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters
of whicli I publish sn h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlte Crowning Glory
of tlie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, whicli
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child in the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to whicli the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened hy
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
