As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma

been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling

impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts

the individual lias witnessed many cases that he can fully

Remark* on Fevers in General*
On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. By tho
term *• fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is sutyect, including small pox
md other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all art* distinguished by the same general character
istics —that ot undue excitement in the circulatory uud
nervous systems—iuduciug more or less unnatural fre
quency iu the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King s College, London, w hose work on the Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
ur medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public. Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
j£C. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Gastro-Enterie, and
so forth. Now*, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms. I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
(hat can be relied ou. They run insensibly into each
other, even the m.*st 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 you self about a “ name;” if you have
ever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
vJI be well nstead of any distinct character being devel
oped. so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
.Ins assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
i >ns or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
ide of the sick, in hundreds, aye. thousands of cases
y myself and others) under a great variety of cir
n stance*, seasons and climate>. Bear this in mind,
u treat at once without regard to name , aud rest
are l you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
and daugerous fevers. But as cases may have be
•uc developed before the *• Fluid” is given, either by
or uuder some other treatment, 1 will describe
uriefly os possible the proper course to be pursued in
iof the most prominent fevers, though the Rules’
. ii - Synopus” will be amply sufficient for all those
i Castomcd to attendance upon the sick.

Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
id. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
though tnere should al ways be free ventilation iu the

fluence.
3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
uot be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak ; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
iuie. to all intents and purposes.
sth. 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
iriUiis, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
’-ch. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in 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
w.ue, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30 “
“ “ o “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “
“** “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a 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 care necessary in giving it to
children —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, I have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, aud
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
Give a teasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oil: this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
lever, with such observances as are set forth in the
“ Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to tho influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in tuking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two liours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside). As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic witli the “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (nibbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the bead. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship ami Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
-mall and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
10 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 be required; still
c .mparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
vill be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
onvalescence.
The treatment should be commenced —which may
uiijodiatoly follow any other without detriment—with
i teaspoonfui of •’ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
nice ia six or eight liours till the fever entirely subsides.
I lu bad cases, from throe to five grains each of quinine
and oa/nsi>:uin (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (*•*♦* auxiliaries) Should Is* added to enrh dose. Tin*
Innvela should be kept gain ly open, and smalt |NirtioitM
of some hefkthc should Im> given occasionally, even
though the bTwels should In* very loose. Tin* palient
< should In* sustained by nourishing and iniirtlAgoitoii*
drinks—-such as aiv in common list* in such cases.
Where tho skin is very dry, sponging the surface us di
, listed in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should U* used during couvahscence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, l,nng
or ‘Winter Fever.
Give a teu*q>ouiifiil of the “Fluid” every two hour*,
with a wine-glassful ofu strong decoction of lsuieset; or
half the quantity may la* given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should be given warm till tin* violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over the seat of qatiti ; keep the
1 towels gently opeu.
Variola, Varioloid, Bulicola anti Scarla
tina \ or Small Pox, Varioloid, MraHlrt,
and Scarlet Fever.
A* all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
iu fact is the moat prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait It* learn the “mime, whether it is ono or tho
other, or neither, as they nil commence with serer, but
treat it at once; govern the fever uud there will be no
trouble; there will be hut little enqtiion even iu small
pox. This, to most mind*, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, If treated as
I direct, will be cut short ; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no neirssity of
its running its ordiuary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but u:l that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, l have good authority; that of
Ifrof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
*• You may abate the force of tho eruptive fever, ami
keep down, it in believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tho admission that it may
be dime. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done iu numerous eases that occurred ou board
ship. See tin* account appended.
Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
o the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
side*—though ono or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should be given aud repented sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, ou the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tougue
ami faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
uot swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid ou his tougue, 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 was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire aud per
manent relief; uo alarm need be entertained, us the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as the favor continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot retrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid 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 be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth aud
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy: hence its use in so many cams.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible. I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue aud
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to he 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 sohuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
lime will then be lost As the 4 , Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhups, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe 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 iu taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that 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; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, aud then you will be 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. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz :
Cat liar tics. —Articles that purge or operate ou the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.: anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatics.— Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
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 may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
sec or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum 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, &c., 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 in the materia medico.
I shall not tux the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packetship Duchexs D’Orleans.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
We took passage on the packetshlp Duchess d’Orleans
Capt Hutton, then lying in tho port of Havre, France’
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. ,s. u t with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative ’ Elec
tric Fluid, with which ho seemed to iiave entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
iu a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days
there were about eighty cases 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
bean! or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, u long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for Itself.

governiug the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before us. offered to
the public,
Tile Natural Antidote to Mnluriu,
which neutralizes the ]K>ison whenever it conies iu con
tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, aud un
known to any but the 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, ami by continuing its use. according to the direc
tions. a radical cure will be effected; the 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 the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, aud when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mede
cine*. 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 be banished from
every family and class in the community ; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle us a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of the CUKE in every part of
the United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all the resources cf
science hail been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; aud 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, &c.
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 superndded
to the poor sufferers first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken w’itli 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 uot only valuable
ou 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 from 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 aud 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 R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It i< a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
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, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
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 be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious 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 of the antidote will he 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 waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degtee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown iu the
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 Isl ENTIRELY UPON ITS
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully awure of (he
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillas, 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
ltml Use in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, I uni acting most unprofessionally.and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mediciue. I refer to ‘Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that J have
used with more success than any of the usual proscrip
tions used by Physicians.

0. 0. Woodman —Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article I ever met with. 1
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation has attained is wide celebrity from
tiie universal success which has 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,
will probably he preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also he found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers 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 be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant.

St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1856.
UAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. It. Chilton,
I of New York city, in favor of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague I
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mur- \
curp nor Stryehuine, and having received numerous ap
plications lor it, 1 was induced to send to l>r. Rhodes
for the medicine. Since then I have disposed of a huge
qiiuutity, mostly to residents of this city, who have iuvu
l ialdy been cured by it, and to whom I can refer. I am,
therefore, satisfied iu recommending it to lx* all that
tho proprietor represents.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who lias not been fre e from Fever and
Ague a month at a time for the last twelve years, I sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. Bhe took in all four lKittles which completely re
stored her to health ami strength, and as four months
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tin* perma

an order to Ames A Ilalliday for another half gross of
your Fever aud Ague Cure. 11 liae sold like •* llot Cakes,”
uud I have only tsvo bottles oil hand. One reason it
has sold, is because alien 1 have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and told them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. 1 had one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the mail came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent

Evidence from n 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 the 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 he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —I have been iu the practice

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. R. R.. Ua.. Jan. 1,185 G.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who lias been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all l
can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not. just as they please.
I can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers are those who ji year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters
of which 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.
Tlie (frowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child in the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
us a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
