ami that pleasant lu its effect*.
44 Ii.—Economy of Thought. -As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affection*; particularly while
a dour friend is sick.
,“tl. — Economy of Health.-- As the system
is not reduced, and consequently nicked; nor is the fever
subject tv* be followed by chronic disease.
t'*t It.—Economy of l.tfc.— As thooure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other moon* might be added, but these are deemed
sufticieut to satisfy all classes aud persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have beeu subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding ot course
*o tne 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 s,*on after
the attack. persous can scarcely realize that they had
beeu really ranch siok, and very naturally conclude they
war * not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have beeu
nothing of censequeuoc—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had no effect/’ The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common ease
as naturally as men think at all; and it is uot until
the individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trilling eases, 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 U*cal cause so great as to require particular
attention. r though successful in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid 1 * passes
oft, as the 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 General*
On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. By the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics —that of undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone iu the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrafed l'rof. T. Watson,
of King's College, London, whose work on the ** Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, aud consequently standard authority.
On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Euteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
variou* forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a 44 name;'’ if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed,* and you
unit be well instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but 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. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name , and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before the “Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued iu
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Rules important to be observed in all cases in rising the.
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet: free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wauts or feelings, nor
attempt to cunverse, read or take any exercise whatever,
t.li their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu
v.-hich they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quie to all intents and purposes.
6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm a? parties may prefer or patients desire.
bth. should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so os to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
winu, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OP DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, 44 sto 15 4i

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old person* do not
require a much 03 young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary iu giving it to
children—those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, I have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and rnauy perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent. Fever.
Give a teasponful of 44 Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
“Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the 44 Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in any case the b wels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a • Lth&rtic (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 er
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 teaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full aud soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside). A*
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in thli disease,
no time should be 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 the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hand* or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
44 Fluid’* if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typltus, Ship nn<l Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should he commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a to&spoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
once in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
In bad eases, from three to five grains each of i/uinim
aud oipsicum (Cayman popper) or some tonic and stimu
lant auxiliaries) should bn added to each d*M\ flic
bowels .should Ui kept gently open, and small portion-*
of hi>me hcftatic should l*e given occasionally, even
though the bowels should he very loose. The patient
should Ik* sustained by nourishing and mucilngeii.u
drink* swell as are in common use iu such eiw-
Where the akin is very dry. sponging the sui t ace •< h
reeled iu bilious lever, will be found advantage-on..
Tonics alien hi be used during convalescence, in nil coses
which have become minced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, l.uuk
ur W inlcr Fever.
Give a teaspoon tiff of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wmwgbissiiil ofu strongUtvoetioii of hotievet; oi
half the quantity may l*e given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in sivor edit hours.
The knieset tea should be given norm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or tin-patient is relieved; then
cold. fouumtnUons, mustard plaster, or something < t
the kind, to be applied over tie-seat of pain; keep tin
bowels gently open.
V ariola, Varioloid. Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
aud Scarlet Fever.
As all of these disens, sure attended with fever, which
in fact is tin* most prominent symptom, Hie treat nun t
differs hue little from that ot common levels. Remember
never wait to learn the ‘•name, whether ii is oitu or the
other, or neither, as they allconuueui e with ./It* r, but
treat it at once; govern the lover and there will be no
trouble; there will la* hut tilth ,rupam even in small
I>,*x. I bis, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will la* regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
l direct, i rill fee cut shod ; attended with but little erup
tion; little or tnt pitting, and that there isno wossUy of
its running its mdiunry course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but ad that l hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that ol
Prof. Watson, previously (patted. He says, page 874;
“You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the numle-r of the jmstuhs by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tnat it may
l*e done. 1 nave not only proven it maybe, but has
been done iu numerous vases that occurred on hoard
ship. See the account appended.
Give a teaspuouful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; refloat the
Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the loverHub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should Ik* given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. M lien the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gurgles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess d'Orleans, the tougue
and taucus were so much swollen that the patient could
riot swallow or speak, aud lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour , till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat w:is reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teasjHxmful, 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 a* long as the fever continues, as in other cases.
The bow els of course should be attended to.
lu connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. I t
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing aud
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
aud iritability of the nervous as well as the 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 this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever ur 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 wise, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the 4 ,Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
if the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, aud should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
” the saline wash.” vinegar aud water or spirits aud
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 has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the 44 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, 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 what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew’of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cut hurt leg.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good forsuch purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act onthe liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—-another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on: each may take liis choice and In* suc
cessful.
Tonic*.— Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, variou* barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
see or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite Mm
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) i* one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia medico.
1 shall uot tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
PacketMhip Duchess D’Orlean*.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify t.* the following, viz—
Wa took passage on the packetsbip Duchess d'Urleuns
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France*
and bound for New Fork. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few* days after leaving Havre, the W mall
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, with
m new remedy of hi* 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 davs
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some foyer*
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with min
imal promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Heat on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affection* being controlled with
ho 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 riot a death! Thy
fact speaks for itself.

* I'll KM’, diseases arc common l many localities of the
| I oiled Mates; but wherever Guy prevail, North,
{ muiili, Lust or West, they all equally spring from tho
same miasnuil cause. Tho great variety ols> mptoius and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution uml habits ol tin* sufferers: but as the
cause is the same, they w ill all equally yield to a remedy
lliat is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
Iy the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and tor* ui y disease, or cause of disease, there is u re
agent, or in other words a si*ccitic remedy. All Malaria,
w hether arising from Marshes, {Stagnant water, decompo
sition ol animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is (he siwnc iu character and effect: Is a poi
son (touting in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
luvntheil. In accordance with those unalterable laws
g* \ciiin,:; the unerring affinity subsisting l*otween op
pu.-ites. there is iu the preparation before us, offered to
tile piddle,
T!ic Yiilural Aid idol c to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison u heiicViT it culm s m con
tact with it. even iu the open air, and when taken inter
nally i oinpletely purities the system affected by it of its
bumTul influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy Is believed to he entirely mu. ami un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results front its use:
It will instantly cheek the ague in persons who have
suffered lor any length of time, from one day to twenty
yea is, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, u radical cure will be effected; the patient contin
uing live from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
cities. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class in the community: farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may be using this 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.
Eiiioc the introduction of the CURE in every part of
the United .States, its success lms been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all the resources 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 th * arc sometimes w orse than tho disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are suporadded
to the poor sufferer's first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should le 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, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Hannlessncss,
The following certificate from one of tho most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
New Fork, 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 and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in nor have 1 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 l*y
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed ns the one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an.l
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in- a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepured by u distinguished Physician long resident iu
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleans, the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must re taken
or the operation of tbe ajitidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Cant ion.—ln certain specified case?, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,, aud place them iu
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air waited across, or circulated over tho
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, w ill counteract
aud i.estroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes* Fever and Auue Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the 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 ueov its
actual MERITS, wherever Introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

RECOMMENDATION S.
New Orleans, April 9, 1855.
Dear Sir —The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseused Lungs, under the title*
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to tlieir 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
win* are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Real Use. in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most unprofessional ly, and deroga
toril v to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine, I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 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: I have given your Cherry
Expectorant, a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects: better than any other article I ever mot with. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by the hearer. Respectfully.
W. M. Mason, M. 1).
This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, eolds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of tlm throid
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial wnnnt.li
keeping tho digestive powers In proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
ha* stood the test of the medical fraternity, it is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended Ly the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee. it to be tatter than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant.
tfo Price—One Dollar a Bottle.

James A. Riioi>i:s, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have
an. order to Antes llaliiduy for another half gross of
your Fever and Agm Cure. It has sold like** Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two buttles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I have heard of a ease of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and told them to try
it, aud if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. 1 had ouo ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Dr. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It ha* not
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled with tho distress
ing disease have been entirely cured by using ouly one

dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATILROP & MCLEAN.
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 Denetit it lias been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months sineg, and in spite of the different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until
1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Since tht time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing y jur m dicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an
advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.”
We arc not in the habit of pulling medicines, but desire
to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N.
Rowe. Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in
forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in
every case it has effected a cure. This proves themedi
cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it
before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Uoonsboi'o ,

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify lo
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and has not had a chill since. A j’ouug 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.
Montickli.o, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the 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 surreys. Respectfully yours,
* W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11. C. R. R., (la., 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. 1 shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A.HAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CUKE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence, it is therefore optioual 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
lake the Cure on commission. They thought its great,
claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will he noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish su Ii immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether thev would more than
fill any newapajier, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning Glory
°f 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 iu 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 antidnU.
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 l*y
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
