NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prcparfd by N. W. Krai, M. D.
Reasons why it should be used instead ot any other treat

•I tho ordinary time is rt*qnir**<l toeflect n cure.
4l—Economy of Money.—A it cnata but one
dollar.
3rd. -Kconumy of Keeling-***” it “W* Hie
“ilfteri iik of n long si'-kiiose and tile consequent tteut
ineat; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
in “dicin'*, tlnor diiMKriiuilili* operation, anti the pain of
long confinement, hut little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its ettect".
II Ik. —Bdinoiny of Thimglll.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present,
existing. respecting febrile affections; part icular ly while
a dear friend ia sick.
Ith. Economy of Health.—As tile system
ia not reduced, ami oonsec|uently racked; nor ia the fever
aiibject to be billowed by chronic disease.
lilhe-Uconumy of Life.—As the cure lacdecteil
bafore and witliout reducing the patient, consequently
removing, In a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reason” might lie added, hut these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy sll classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The abovereasous are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
*,o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons ran scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have been
nothing of censequence—it would have passed oft with
out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general
impression on the euUect of feveris such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common cose
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
i tie individual lias witnessed many cases that lie can fully
realise the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful iu perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though successful ill reducing the fever,
It will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, ns l In* exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in suen cases that i have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.”
Ilrmarkii mi Fevers In General*
On this subject l wish to be fully understood. Ily the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut 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 are distinguished by Ihe same general character
istics —that ol undue excitement in tliu circulatory anil
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fn
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, he.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, l quote from file celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, Ixmdou, whose work on tli “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book iu many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standanl authority.
On page 834, he saysWo hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By tlie public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever,
he. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (lastro-Knteiic, and
so forth. Now, admitting Hint fever allows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this suli-division, Is had anil hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, idrendy too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They rim insensibly into eucli
other, even tiie most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause,”
Tho above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
ikin I I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
i Dili. In’ writ instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by tho most scientific.
Tliis assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, lint on experience at tiie bed
side of the sick, ill hundreds, aye, thousands of cuses
(by myself and others) uniter a great variety of eir
cuinatances, seasons and climates. Jtear tills ill mind,
mid treat at once witlumt regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing aud dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before tiie “ Fluid” is given, cither by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ ltulcs”
and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Rules important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in tlireo or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. I’atients must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always lie free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go übout while under its in
tlueiiou.
3d. It must he continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing oft'; to lie resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be tiie case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo 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 iu their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes,
6tb. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it us
plentifully, and us long as tho patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
oth. Should patients experience any oppression or
I'untnoss while in the lying posture, so us to occasion a
restlessness alter the fever Inis passed off, or enough to
■ccasiou them to speak of it, they should have a little
wiuo, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tiie 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 l and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 30
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a toaspoonful.
Ail persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
i toaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
uquue as much us young, or those iu the prime of life;
mi females, us a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
‘uidren—those of ton years of age frequently having
ikeu full doses ; but for a little guide, l huTe given tin
i iV” table, witli tin* remark that, us a general rule,
i.tdrou require more then adults in proportion.
y observing the above directions, tiie medicine will
mud agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
tie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
. .mished. My object in being thus particular is, that
it* full beuefit of the medicine may bo obtained, and
i it .*ll account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
er vances.
Hiltons or Remittent Fever.
Uive a teasponlul of “ Fluid” (set* rule Ist) once in
two hour#, t.ll tin* fever is evidently passing off; this
.institutes the whole treatment iu all simple eases of
fever, with such observances as are sot forth in tlio
“ Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giviug the “ F'luid.”
See Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or coufiued, give a catluutn* (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 the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsfiil
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two bourn—tf it—the pulse—has not been softened.
thus showing the medicine lius takeu 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 mediciue much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As
tiie twiwnls are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should he lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid’’ and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to tbe extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the bands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of oue character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small aud wiry, with a gouoral great depression, there is
no practical use ia separating them—at least so far os
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience wifi be required; still
comparatively little, ns they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish u permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a ti'ftspaooful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
beoomftr‘•slier or larger in volume, then to be continued
once in fix or eight hours till tbe fever entirely subsides.
Iu bad cases, from tl iron to five grains each of i/uininr.
and capsicum (Cayeu n pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries), should be added to each dose. The
bowels should tie k< pt gently open, and small (tortious
of some hepatic si muld In* given occasionally, even
though tiie ImWiil) should lie very loose. Tiie patient
should Is* sustained by nourishing and muc-llagenous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging tin* surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will lie found advantageous.
Tonics should lie used during convalescence, in all cases
whicii have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneuinouiu, tiling
or Winter Kever.
(live a teas|Mjonftil of tiie “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or
half the quantity may lie given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, suy once in six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should Ire given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
tin* kind, to Is* applied over tin-seat of pain; keep tin*
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Hiilm-olii anil Scarla
tina; or Small I'm, Varioloid* Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fai l is tiie most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers, llemeuibor
never wait to leurn the “nome,” whether it is one or the
oilier, ol neither, as they all commence with fever, lint
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will Is* no
trouble; there will he hut little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew Idea, ami doubtless
will lie regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make tiie assertion, that small pox, if treated on
I direct, wilt hr cut, short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, aud that there Is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, hut ail that I hold most deui ;
I insides, on tliis subject, I have good authority; that of
I’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of tiie eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustule* by
spline purges, he.” Here is tiie admission ttint it may
lie done, I nave not only proven it may be, but bus
turn done in numerous cases Hint occurred mi board
ship. See Hie account appended.
Uive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of tiie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid urns: iu two hours if necessary, until the fevel'Hlib
siiles—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should be 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 one case, on tiie ship Duchessd’Orleans, tin* tongue
aud Caucus were so much swollen that Hit* patient could
lint swallow or speak, aud lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
wlien it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tiie swelling of
Hie throat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour
ishment In about twelve hours by Hie Fluid uloue.—
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless Hie
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.,
Tliis heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tin* mother in liable, will yield to tbe
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of u
teuspoiiidul. utmost invariably giving entire ami per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as tiie
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection witli this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of Hie F’luid 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.—
I'aiuful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose ami retiring. Kcstlcssness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at udelicate time, is easily* relieved by
its use; in short, it is one ol tiie most convenient and
effectual remedies formally of the Blh of females, if not
tiie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well us the circulatory.
It will not force sleep liko opiutes, hut it will sooth and
quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tiie treat
ment as much as possible, l give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tho condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name, it may bo or ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot In: ex
pected to control all organic or locul causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
Wlieu such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, ami 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 the Fluid” alone will sub
due tlio fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) witli tiie 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 bo good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho
“Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tho feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tiie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, cither will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which tliero will be no trou
ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu 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 he
allayed before any medicine w ill remain on the stomach
to do any good : for this purpose 1 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” aud a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
us you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know vvliat is meant by
cathartics, he., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to bo fully understood by
all, I will uauie a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz :
t at liartle s.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, nntibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
llepntics.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation aud secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by tho different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with the “ Fluid” or whilo the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyUlu—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choico and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
se. or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho
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 tiie best;
giuger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tiie essences are ull more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but tin* Negative Electric Fluid is a bet'er “diii
plioretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia medico.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tiie results of a trial, ami will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Pncketahip Duchess D'Orleans.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certifleates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz—•
We took passage on the packotship Duchess d’Orleans,
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France,
and bound for New York, She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1861, 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. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty 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 liy Dr. Season the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
beard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
<> much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

f I s]|ESE diseases are common to many localities of the
United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or W est, they all equally spring from the
same uiiusmul cause. ‘The great variety of symptoms aud
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is the same, t hey will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
liy the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
w hether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same iu character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who
breathe it. In accordance with thoso unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op-
IMsdtes, there is in the preparation before us, offered to
tiie public,
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in tiie open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
‘The remedy is Udieved to be entirely new, and un
known to uny but tiie proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
it wifi instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered for tiny length of time, from one day to twenty
years, ami by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure wifi be effected; the patient contin
uing free from tiie complaint for ever; unless subsequent
ex|s.siire 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, and when the disease is cured, it
w ill entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
whicii so often follow the administration of other mode
cines. ’J’lii* patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may he banished from
every family and class in Hie community; farmers, me
chanics, and ail laboring people maybe using this arti
cle ns a
Preventive,
Aud pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
w hich is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since tiie introduction of the CUKE in every part ot
tho United States, its success has been so complete aud
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 tiie 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, he.
‘The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, anil when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects jre siqieradded
to tiie poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may be token with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that tiie Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but tiiat it is
ulso
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Harmlessness,
Tho 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 11, 1855.
“1 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 R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally’ good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
Tiie 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 oue
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
the same cause, aud 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 dovelop itself iu 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 tliis medi
cine by a mild cathartic or nntibilious purgative. Tlio
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tiie stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or tliero is costiveness, it must be taken
or tiie operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution- —Iu certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo
sure, tin* miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
Tliis mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
Tiie bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho
words, “Rhodes’ Kevf.r and Aoue Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outsido wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of whicii is secured) and the
signature of the proprietor. Tlieso precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
wifi be considered sufficient.

New Orleans. April 9, 1865.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remediesfor 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
Deal Use in I'uhnonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing. 1 am 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 I have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland. M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1856.
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. I
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 a wide celebrity from
the 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 l>e preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedv, it will
also be 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 auv Cherrv Pectoral. Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant.”

tidote to Malaria: ‘
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 18.:. 1.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, aud having received numerous ap
plications for it, 1 was induced to send to Dr. .Rhodes
lor the medicine. Since then 1 have disposed ol a large
quantity, mostly to residents of tills city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom I can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to bo all that
the proprietor represents.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who lias not been fro e from Fever and
Ague a mouth at a time for tlio last twelve years, 1 sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague

have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent
an order to Ames h Holliday for another half gross of
your Fever aud Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, I liuve sent a bottle and teld 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 ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on tiie sixtli day well satisfied.

Mr. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —The box of “Ague

demand for more; to meet which we have ordered
from your general agent, at Chicago, J. D. Yerriugtou.
Its sale will only be equalled by the number of Fever

have a bottle for every case.
We remain respectfully yours,

Maxwell, Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1865.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your medicine lias met

have about five bottles left. 1 give it to them at first,
‘if 110 cure no pay,’although 1 was not authorized liy
you to do so; but I took the responsibility on myself.—
Rut not a bottle has come back, and as 1 am almost out

tiie bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will be
punctual in payment. I inclose fifteen dollars on the
medicine I have received, for which please send me a

Dr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever
aud Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress
ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one
bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four
dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, aud 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 I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur nudicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N.
Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. Oue young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AOUE BALSAM” for some mouths 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.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in tbe practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1556.
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. lIAYLES.
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. Ur. 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 a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters
of which I publish su 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 everattended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning 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 the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Agile or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
