NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared l>y N. \V.

Illi.—Eronnmy of Thought,—A* when known, it Mill remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear frieud is sick. Itln-Kronnmy of Health.— As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to he followed hy chronic disease. Oth.-Kcnniimy of Life.— As the euro is effected before ami without reducing flic patient, consequently removing, in aeorres|indlng degree, all daugerof a fatal termination. Other reasons might la, added, hut these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and lasrsous In all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the tlrst attack, imt will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have tiacoruc reduced, corresponding of course *o the nature of tile case at the time it is fi ret adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used Siam after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they hail been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling I little cold, which gave alarm—lt could have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out any tiling that medicine hud no effect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual lias witnessed many cases that he cun fully reulizo the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling cases, w'Wch would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some orguiiic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success.ul In reducing the fever, it will again rise as the Influence of the “Fluid” passes off, as tiie exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers In Uenerab tin this subject I wish to be fully understood. Hy the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but ns they arise hy a great variety of causes, mid in quite dissimilar constitutions mid habits, they of course differ considerably in their development nnd exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet ail are distinguished by the same general character istics—that oi undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in tiie pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that lain not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, whoso work on the “ Princi pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical col leges, anil consequently standard authority. On page 834, lie says : —“We hear continually, both in and out of tile profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Kntorie, and so forth. Now. admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that tiie 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, 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 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you self about it “name;” if you have lover, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you unll be weU nstead of any lilstlnctcharacter being devel oped, sons to be properly named by the most scientific. Tills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visiuus ol ndud, but on experience at tiie bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under u great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at ouco without regard to name, nnd rest assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases nmy have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by uegloct, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued ill all of the most prominent fevers, though tlie“Kulcs” aud “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tiie sick. Rules imjiortant to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in throo or four times its own quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at pleasure, id. Patients must bo free from all currents of air, (though there should always he free ventilation in tiie sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must bo continued whenever tiie fever subsides, or Is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, pntients 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 oum natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak ; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in wbicli they may feel more or less interested, tint be left quiet to nil intents nnd purposes. Mb. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it us plentifully, and as long as tiie patient desires and no longer; they may conaist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, oitlior cold or warm us parties may prefer or patients desire. bib. Should patients experience any oppression or taint ness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face aud breast may tie bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OK DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over l and under 2 years, “ 6to 16 •* “ “ ‘2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 30 “ “ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60 “ “ “ 8 “ 10 half to u teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonlul is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much ss young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, us u general ruli, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children —those of leu years of age frequently having taken full doses ; but for a little guide. 1 have given tiie 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 lie found agreeable in nil of its effects, the expectations of tiie most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, ami not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remitfrut Fever. Live a toasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tiie fever is evidently passing off'; tiiis constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, with such observances as ore set forth in tiie “ Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. if in any case the h ovols are particularly coustipated or coutlued, give a el liar tie (see auxiliaries) with the first |iorttou ; 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 tiie influence of medicine —not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teuspoonsful may be given at first with advautage, and even repented in two hours —if it—the pulae—has not been softened, thus showing the medicine lias taken effect, Itatbiug 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 m taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two toaspoousful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft thru only a tea spoonful, io be discontinued ns the fever subside). As the bowels are generally confined and it is frequently vory difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, n i time should be lost to got them opeu, give some active ailuutic with the “ Fluid'’ and repeat as may bo iioces iry till it operates; enemas (Injections) nmy also be mod to advantage: also mustard to the extremities, or rletion (rubbingi with th* bands or flannel: also, rold ippllcdkms to the head. Quinine may be added to tiie ” Field” If thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship anil Putrid or Spotted Fever. As ibee fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general groat depression, there la and i practical use iu separating them—at least so far aa my traatmeut is concerned. In these low fevers, when fhlly developed, a little patience will li required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeksuuder the common treatment, while with this but a few days will be necessary at longest to oatablish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with atcaspoonful of •’ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse become” fuller or ht'ger in volume, then to be continued •uce In six or eight hours till ths fever eutiral) subside*. In hud oases, from throo to fivo grains each of </uinine and oipswum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should Im- added to each dose. Tho bowels should Ih; kept gently open, and small jsjrtioiiH of some hepatic should lie given occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose. Tho patient should lie sustained by nourishing and luucilageuoua drinks—snob as are in common use in sueli cases.— Where the ekiu is very dry, sponging the surface as ili rected iu bilious fever, will be found iwlvuutugeous. Tonics should ls< used during convalescence, iu ull cases wbicli have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. (live a teaspooiiliil of the “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or ball the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, ut longer Intervals, say once iu six or eight hours. The boueset tea should be given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ol the kind, to be applied over the sent of pain; keep tho bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola oid Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended witli fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to leurn the “mime,” whether it is one ut tho oilier, or neither, us they ull commence with freer, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will lie no trouble; there will b v but little eruption even iu small pox. Tills, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will bu regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be cut short ; attended witli but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On liiis I will stake not only my reputation, but ull that I hold most dear; besides, on tiiis subject, 1 have good authority; thut of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, tie suys, page 874; “Vou may aliate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the. pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission Unit it may he done. I nave not only proven it may be, hut has been done iu numerous eases that occurred on hoard ship. See the account appended. Give a teospoonful 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 feversub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; blit it should Is* giveu and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, us thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess iTOrleaus, the tongue and I'aucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when ii was given iu teaspoonful doses eeery hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tiie 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 tbo throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all sueli cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever., Tiiis 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 be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. Tiie bowels of course should lie attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making u few general remarks, which, if regarded by tiie 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 ol much of its pains and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by u 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 lor 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 lritability of the nervous as well ns the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth aud quiet the system so that ono can sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use in so many cases, Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tiie treat ment as much as possible, I give under tiiis head general directions for all cases. As tho Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tiie name it may boor 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 ho appropriate menus, 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 ihen be lost As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due tiie fever, X call all else auxiliary treatment. If tiie bowels are costivo, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho first doso, 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, tiie “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations o£ hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ieo water, if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe the feet iu hot water; if tiie 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, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will tie no trou ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tiie patient has become re duced : it’ there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do nay good; for tiiis purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias 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., us physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found uo sueli necessity when using tiie Fluid, and to lie fully understood by all, l will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine l have referred to, viz Cut lnrt ics.—Articles that purge or operate on tiie bow els, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibiiious, Ac.: anything known to be good for sueli purposes. Hepat ten.—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 fflienee. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliylliu—the fourth, mandrake root, uud so on; each may take his choice'and be suc cessful. Tunics.—Articles ‘bat give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Itone sei or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.— Such as cheek the action of the bowels. Isiudiumm and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not property 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 iu treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “ dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” aud “sedative” than known in the materia medica. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on the results of a trial, and w ill’ only refer to one instance of success, that on the PackrtslUp Duchess D’Orlraus. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the” following, viz We took passage on the packetship Ductless d’Orleans Oapt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France! and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au gust. 1 SSI, with over a hundred soul) on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated by the plivsicinn in charge, Dr. N\ W. Seat, with anew remedy ofhls own, which he calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control over the disease, ari estiug it in a few hours, and curirtg in a vory short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there 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 fUllv convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion. possesses Inestimable virtues. We never before beard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness nnd certainty, or so little trouble to iho nurse.

United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, tiiey ull equally spriug iroui tho same uiiasiiiul euuse. Tilt; great variety ot symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but us the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cuusc. By till- laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is u re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. AH Malaria, Whether 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 tiie atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, Tiie Anturiil Antidote to fflulariu, which neutralizes tiie {loison whenever it comes in con tact witli it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities tiie system affected hy it of its baneful intliience, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any Imt 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, and by continuing its uso, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure lo 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 ioiiH or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Nig lit Sweats, which so often follow tiie administration of other niede cines. Tiie 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 closh in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using tiiis arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of 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 the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible’ Jo many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and 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 only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded to tiie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On tiiis account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tiie makers of them uniformly assert they may bo taken 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 that it is also Worthy’ of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, Tiie following certificate from one of tiie most celebrated chemists jii 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 nnd 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. CIIILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It i< a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to reliex'e tho 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 tiiis Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No clans 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 nnd 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, aud so destroy tiie poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet aud 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 tiiis medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibiiious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tho stomach and free tho biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary,or there is costiveness, itMusT betaken or the operation of tiie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution, —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates.) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tiie dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, tiie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. Tiiis mode of exhibiting tiie 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 tiie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Auue Cure” blown in tiie glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tho copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tho proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely iton its actual MERITS, wherever introduced and used. These will lie considered snflicient. Prepared and sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, K. I, For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS A CO.. February 10, 1856. ly Druggists.

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 Real Use in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in bo doing, 1 am acting most unprofessilmally, and derogn torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular Practitiouers of Medicine. 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.

Respectfully, IV. M. Mason, M. D. This preparation lias attaiued 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 dissolve nt and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat, will probably be preferred to any other offered to tho public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.

I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but. the man came to see me on tiie sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. .‘54 Buttles Perform :ll Cures.

Rhodes—J laving been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me.

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 lias been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Curo 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. Monticf.llo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes — Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of Medicine here for about tiiree 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. ’ YV. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R.,Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only ono bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. \y. A. HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it iu every bottle of tiie 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 lect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tiie Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. 1 cau also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago wore reluctant even to take tiie Cure on commission. Thev thought its great claims and pretensions could not lie realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters ol which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than filially newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than over attended 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 tho warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in tiie United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tiie 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 Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind ot intemperance or dissipation.
