and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.’
Ken.arks on Fevers 111 General”
on this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. Ily the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile nffectiuns to
which the human frame isNubJect, including small pox
ami other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and ill quito dissimilar constitutions
• uud habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development an.l exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by tho same general character
istics—that of undue excitement in tho circulatory uud
nervous systems—lnducing more or loss unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, Hense of heat, dryness of the skill,
debility, Ac.
To Shew that I am not wholly uloiie in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the celebrated I’rof. T. Watson,
..I King's College, hondoti, whose work mi the '* Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” Is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently sUimlardauthority.
Ou page 824, he says:—“We hear continually, liotli in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. liy the public, Typhus Fever, Ilrain Fever,
lllliotis Fever, Putrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac And systematic writers tire to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (lastro-Knteric, ami
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tho
mind of all this suit-division, is had ami hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for u disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
Mint can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yomself about a “name,” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will lif well instead of any distinctcliaracter being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by t lie most scientific.
Tins assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, lint on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
uud treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have be
cuiiio developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.
Hulls important to bt observed in all cases in using the
Negative Klectric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four Union its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
id. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always li<> free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its iu
fluonctt.
3<l. It must bo continued whenever tho fever subsides,
ur in evidently |'u.siln 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
bo lel't 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 tuUural/Mingt , independent of all extra
neous influences, indue* them to rise or speak; nor
should tiny conversation bo allowed in their hearing, iu
which they may feel more or loss interested, but bo left
quioi to all intents and purposes.
6th. fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patlout 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 pntients desire.
tith. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after lho fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wiue, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a llttlo
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the laee anil
breast may lie bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations

If in any case the I- ivols are particularly constipated

first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise

Where the fever is very high, pulse runuing 110 or
upwards, and the patieut is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a donblo dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, aud even repeated
in two houro—if it—the pulse—has not been tioYcm-J,
thus showing the medicine lias taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable

the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should be lost lo get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the bauds or fiuuuol; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may lie added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. Seo Synopsis.
Nevvous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, .littering
mainly In degree, being al! of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, wheu
fully developed, a little patience wilt be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should he commenced—which may
Immediately follow any other without dotrimeut— with
a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
once in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subside*.

As all of these diseases ore attended with lever, which
in fact is the most promim ut symptom, the treatment
differs lute little from that of com mull fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “tutme.,” whether it is one or tile
other, or neither, us they all commence with /ever, but
treat li at once; govern the fever and there will Ia- no
trouble; there will he lint little eruption even ill alnall
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
wilt be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, Hint small pox, it treated as
1 direct, will be. cut short; attended with but little erup
tiou; little or no pitting, uud that there i Hilo necessity ol
its running its ordinary course. On tins I will stake
not only my reputation, but all that 1 hold must dear;
besides, on thiNHUbject, I have good authority; that of
I’rol. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874;
“Von may abate Hie force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number <j the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
he done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous eases that occurred ou board
ahip. See tile account appended.
(jive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of tho case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeal tho
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until thefeversuh
sides—though one or two doses is generally’ sufficient;
but if should lie giveu and repealed sufficiently to keep
the level under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may la. used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
lu one case, on tho ship Duchessd’Orleuns. the tongue
and fallens wore so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow nr speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid cm his tongue, drop hy drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoiuH disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to lake nour
ishment in about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tho
best gargle in all sueli cases.
Puerperal or Cliiltllied Fever..
This heretofore painful, dangerous anil aktrmiug
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tho
Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, an to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, ns the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
seated us luii)'as the fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels ot coarse should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pnin 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 tlie labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated,—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at onto hy 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 tlie most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tlie most so of any medicino known, its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as tlie circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, I give under tiiis head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid
will change tho condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may bo or ought to he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
he appropriate means, and these sohuld bo given while
giving tho “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, ns they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then bo lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
It tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it
foil to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if ruuHud hy irritability, tlie
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or intlummatiou, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wot in cold water, to the 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 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 in 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 tlie patient has become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to doasy good; for tliiß purpose I generally give some
geutle emetic to cleanse tho stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach hies settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“Fluid” at tho same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have aeon, and then you will bo astonished at tlie ease
w ith which you can control all febrile excitement
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to kuow what is meant by
oathurtics, Ac., a* physicians are usually particular
about wliat is used. 1 liavo found no such necessity
when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, I will name a lew of tlie different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz.:—
Cat linrtirs.—Articles that purge or operate on tho
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac: anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepntlca.—Anything known to net on the liver
particularly, jairtal circulation ami secretions generally.
Any of tho articles depended on by the different schools
tor tills purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with tlie “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tlie third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so ou; each may take Ins choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics,—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone
set or thorough wort is one of the host used in fevers
Attriilgents, -Such as check tlie action ot tho
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have tlie effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tlio
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are (lie only classes necessa
ry *'* treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is u better “ dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” Gian known in tho materia meduu.
I shall not lax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that uu tlie

which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates :
We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz—
We took passage on the paeketship Duchess d'Orleans
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France’,
and bound for New York. She sailed on tlie “.*Gi of Aii
guiit, 1851, with over a hundred souls ou board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tlie smail
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 lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over tlie disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-uine days,
there were about eighty eases ut small pox, some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with Mini
mal promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Beat on tlie oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox aud fever on board, and not death’ The
fact speaks for itself.

MA I.AJAIA Oil MIASMA.
fI'HESK diseases are common to many localities ot Hie
J. United Stales; but wherever they prevail, North,
s.iillli, Kast or West, they all equally spring from the
same miusrmtl cause. The great variety ulsymptouis and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age,
sex, cons!itution and iiututs of tlie sufferer"; hut as the
cause is Hie name, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
Ity the laws of Nature, every principle bus its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause ol disease, there is a re
agent, or iu oilier words u specific remedy, All -Malaria,
w hetfiei a - I sing from Marshes, Stagnant water, decoiupie
site,u of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is tlie same iu character and effect; is u poi
son floating hi tlie atmosphere, causing disease U>all who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
g., velum the unerring affinity subsisting between op-,
pushes, there is in the preparation before us, ottered to
the public,
Tin- Ant dial Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison w henever it routes in con
tact wiili it. even in tlie open air. and when taken inter
nally completely purities tlie system affected hy it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to 1,0 entirely new, and un
known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinetly claims
the follow ing extraordinary results from its use :
It will instantly cheek the ague in persous who have
suffered tiir any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin
uing free from tlie complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
I u its operation upon the poison iu the system, it will
immediately relieve till the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
(jcucral Debility at is <1 Night Sweats,
which so often follow tlie administration of other uieile
cities. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
Hy its use Fever and Ague may ho banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, uiiil all laboring people may ho using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
Ami pursue their resja'Clivc avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during thu sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since tlie introduction of the CURE iu every part of
the United States, its success lias been so complete and
unvarying us 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
tlie most candid minds, because all the resources cf
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and wliat was still worse for ague sufferers,
ull their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, Balieine, 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 superaddeil
to tho poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On tills* 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 taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Knfire Harmlessness,
The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated
chemists in the United States lues 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 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve tlie human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by
preventing tho 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.
N'o class of disease is so easily managed as tlie one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents aini
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely uso
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 moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or Hie operation of tho antidote will he seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —In certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more buttles of tlie Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates, i and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also tho air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
nud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlie 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 tho
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown iu tho
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 is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will he considered sufficient.

HAVE received the appointment from the proprietor
for tho sole agency of
Woodman's Cherry Kxpectornnt,
the medicine flint lias created such an excitement at tho
North among the Physicians, and Ims been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesamine.
the pure decoction of Wild Cherry bark, aud many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than anv
oilier Cough Medicine iu this country.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Orleans. April !•, 1855.
Dear Bir— Tlie public generally are fully aware of Hie
thousands of remedies for Diseased bungs, 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
tor publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use oue that contains articles of
Heal Csc in I‘tilmilitary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, lam acting most unprol'cssionally,and derogu
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 Hint I have
used w ith more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1855.
G. O. Woodman—Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a lair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects: better than any other article 1 ever met with. I
would he pleased to have you seud me half a dozen but
tles hy tlie bearer. Respectfully.
W. M. Mason, M. D.
Ibis preparation tuts attained a wide celebrity from
tlie universal success w hit'll has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and iu fact, any pulmonary complaints,
tin- medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
ami its soothing power to all irritations of the throat
w ill probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic reiuedy.it will
also be found excellent, its natural and geuiul warmth
keeping tlie digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is tlie only Cough Medicine that
has “total the test of tile medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians ot New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to he better than any Cherrv Pectoral. Cm! Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant.’
Price—One Dollar a Bottle.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent
an order to Antes Si ilalliday for another half gross of
your Feveraud Ague Cure. It bus sold like “ Hot Cukes,”
and 1 have only two Isjttics on hand. One reason it
Inis sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever. J have 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, i laid one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.

Dll. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your Cure for tlie Fever
and Ague lias thus far performed wonders, It lias not
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled witli the distress

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it lias been to ute. 1 was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and in spite of tlie different remedies
and treatment 1 adopted, my health grew worse until
1 commenced the use ot’ 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 malicine the success that it merits,
l remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Bept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes,—Dear Sir —I cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in tlie family of a clergyman .here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got nbottle of your Cure. Ho 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 the practice
of Mediciue here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself aud prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
‘ ‘ W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. R„ Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
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.IIAYLEB,
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of tho CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible in:o every town it nil village
in die 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.
1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers aro 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 tlie letters
of which I publish su li immense quantities are always
new ami late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greater suc
cess aud sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning Glory
of tlie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during tlie 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
w hose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and dr
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
