NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, ‘
Prepnrrcl by N. \V. Stt ( M. I>.
U canons why it thould be used instead of any other treat
ment In nil Febrile affections :
lit.K.i oiioin)’ of Time. —As only oue-sei'enth
of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
*4(l.—Kcoitomy of Money. —As it c Mia but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Peeling— As it naves the
suffering of a long sickness ami the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of takiug nauseating ilosoa ot
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain ot
long confinement; but little of tlie fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4th. — Economy of Thought. As when
kuown, it will remove all dread anil anxiety at pre>* ot
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
3th. — Economy of llcnltli.— As the system
is not reduced, ami consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
6th.-- Ecouoniy of Life.— As thocuro is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger ot a tatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these at e deemed
su.Ucient to satisfy all classes and persons iu all condi
tions of lifo.
The above reasons arc more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first a*tack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have
ed to Or have become reduced, correspondin'’ of course
♦o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary coses, when used soou after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
were not attacked w ith fever, and if so, “it w as trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it w ould have passed off w ith
out anything—that medicine had nooffect.’’ 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 has witnessed many cases that lie can fully
realise the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success.ul in reducing the fever,
it will agaiu rise as the influence of the * Fluid” passes
off. as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in sum cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General*
On this snbject I wish to be fully understood. By the
term “fevers,” I compreheud all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small jk>x
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
nervons systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency iu the pulse, sense heat, dryness iff the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am uot w holly alone in the opinion I
advance. I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, w hose work on the •• Princi
ple!* and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently’ standanl authority.
On page 834, he says:—“Wo hear continually, l*oth in
aud out of the profession, different species of fever spi>-
ken of. By the public. Typhus Fever, llrain Fever,
Bilious Fever. Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. Aud systematic w riters are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic. Uastro-Knterio, and
so forth. Now. admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 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 iuto 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 *• name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed,* and you
will be. lotll instead of any distinct character leing 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
os briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient fur all those
aecustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Rules important to be observed in all cases in using the
Xegativt 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 be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences; induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
qaie to all intents aud purposes.
sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinxs, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant: or the face and
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 aDd under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ 20 to 50 “
44 u 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonfuL
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a commcn do .e. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide. I have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilioua or Remittent Fever.
Give a teasponful of “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 in the
“Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
tiee Synopsis.
If in any case tho bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to 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 tempoonifnl and repent every two Lours till
the pulse becomes more full anil soft, then only a toa
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subsidet. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very-iifficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
do time should bo lost to get them open, gfvo Horne active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat oh may he neces
sary till it operates: enemas (injections) may also he
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel- also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, fclilp and 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
tho common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
ateaspoonful of “Fluid” every two hours, till tho pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
once in six or eight honr* till the fever ontirely subside*.

trouble; there will la* but little eruption oveu in small 1
pox. This, to most minds, is a uevv idea, aud doubt I e.-s
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I neverthule.-s
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, it treated as
1 direct, will be cut short ; attended w ith out little orup
tiou: little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, but ail that l hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that ot
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 574:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, aud
keep down, it is believed, the number oj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be done. 1 nave uot only proven it maybe, but has
been done iu numerous eases that occurred ou board
ship. See the account appe uded.
Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of tho case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours If necessary, until the fever sub
aides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should be given aud repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under eoutrol. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess d'Orleans, the Longue
aud Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, aud he was cured by dropping the
Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till he could sw allow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every /tour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the thrift was reduced so us to enable bim to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tho
best gargle iu all such cases.
Puerperal or t Uiltlbeil 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 he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspooufnl, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief: no alarm need be entertained, us the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re*
pea ted as long as the fever coutiuuce. as in other cases.
The bowels of course should bo attended to.
In 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. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In e lit Id-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to bo appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will south and
quiet the system so that ono can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, ami condense the treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will cliange the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho
name it may be or ought to he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any cose, 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 ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to he 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 and water or spirits anu
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will bo 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 a*y good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under auy 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 no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to. viz:—
Catliartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.: anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatics.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by tho different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with tho “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on: each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in foveft.
Astringent*.—Such as chock the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparation* of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is ono of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tho essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are tho 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 tho materia medico.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proof*
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Pocketslilp DucLc** D’Orleans.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates*
We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz—
We took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orleans
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France’
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9t,h of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on lwird. mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the smull
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. w. Seat with
anew remedy of In's own, which he calls Negative’ Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty.nine days
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever’
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Heat on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. Wo never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled witli
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or s. little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
smallpox and fever on board, and rtol a death ’ The
fact speaks for itself.

will entirely prevent the accession of

which so often follow the administration of other mode

And pursue tle ir respective avocatious m perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of tho
y car.
Since the introduction of tho CURE in every part of
tlie l nited 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 tlie date of its
in trod net iun. they seemed incredible to many, even of
tin* most candid minds, because all the resources of
science bad 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
empirioul. have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, ljuinim*, Mercury, Salicim*. 4c.
The effects df these are sometimes worse than tho disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superudded
to the poor sutferer’s first complaint.
Ou this account ague sufferers should lx* 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, os a proof that tlie 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 Entire Harmlessuess,
Tho following certificate from one of tlie moat celebrated
chemists in the United States lots 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, hut
have not found a particle of either in it. nor have I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It i- a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally* good w ork by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as u
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed us the one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced ly’ one an.l
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timelyn.se
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take tho Cure ns a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary', or there is costiveness, it must be takf.n
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously’ ob
structed.
Only Caution.- -Iu certain .specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in
sleeping rooms ; for the rising from the medicine,
and also tlie air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud estroy, to a deg.ee 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 ore exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Core” blown in the
glass, and on tho outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions aro
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.

New Orleans, April y, 1855.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsuparil las. Pills. Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisement? 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 Fulmomry Diseases. lam conscious that in
si doing, I am acting most unprofessionally, and deroga
toiily to the Interests of Medical .Science and the regular
Practitioner:, of Medicine. I refer to Woodman’s Clierry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that T have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by’ Physicians.
J. M Maitland, M. I).
Oallatin. Miss.. May 1. 1865.
0. O. 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 met with. J
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason. M. D.
This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary com plaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations ortho throat,
will probably l>e preferred to any other offered to the
public. Am ><n appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also Is* found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping tho digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better I ban any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
oil, or anything else now extant.

of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely’ cured
by your remedy. I take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and in spite of the different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until
1 commenced the use of your Fever aud Ague Cure. —
Since that time I have not lmd a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing y jur m idiciue the success that it merits,
1 remain truly yours,

We are not in the habit of puffing 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

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Deal* Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per
manent benefit —a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. 0. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —1 have been iu the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
.-cientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. R.. Ga., Jan. 1, 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. IIAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it iu every bottle of the CURE, which is beirg intro
duced as rapidly as possible in o every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, &c. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. K. 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 1 hat a great many of my largest custo
mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions conld not be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will he noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish fu h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale ll- in ever 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 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 aud strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
