Other reasons might lie added, but these are deemed sutUcient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons arc more particularly applicable to tin* immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal foven to ctuieN which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course •o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. \s tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used Soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they fuel been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli> y wer- not altuckod with fever, and If so, “it was trifling -a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have lieen nothing of eenseqnence—lt would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had imoffoct.” The general impression on the subject of lover is such, that thoughts not unlike the above fill low the cure of 11 common case a* naturally as men think at all: and it is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very hiding cases, which would have readily yielded io any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been ihus successful in perhaps hutidrcdH of eases, must expert that there wil, eases occur where there is some organic or mcnl cause so great as to require particular attention or though Hiiccess ul in reducing the fever, it will again rise ns the Influence of the “Fluid” passes off. ax the exciting cause uisy still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in surn cases that I have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.” licinnrks on Fevers In General* On this subject 1 wixli to he fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but ax they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, tin y of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or typos; yet all undistinguished hy the same general character istics—that u undue excitement in tho 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 in the opinion 1 advance, 1 quote from the celebrofed I’rof. T. Watson, ol King's College, London, whose work on tho “ Princi pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthorily. On p go Slit, he says Wo hoar coutinuall i, both m and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, llraiu Fever, lliliOus Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucoui Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uoslro-Euteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that lever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this subdivision, is bud and hurtful, it encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no lit! ■ of geuuiiio distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They rnn Insensibly into each other, even the m st dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would imprestoa your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you self about a “name;” If you have lovor, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well .nstead of uny distinctcharactcr being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions nr visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of the sick, ill hundreds, ayo, thousands of eases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climate*. Bear this in mind, and trout lit once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous Covers. Hut as cases may have be come developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as to icily as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ Rules’ and -Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those aocustomed to attendance upou the sick. Bales important to be observed in all cases in using the Xcyativc Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in tlirco or four times its own quantity of water, and may bu sweetened or not at pleasure. ltd. Patients must bo free from nil currents of nir, (though there aliouldalways be free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. lid. it must bo continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise agaiu, should such be the case under any circumstances. Ith. Whou the fever begins to subside, patients must lie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their oum natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which limy inuy feel more or less interested, but be left quiei to all intents and purposes. stli. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, Hildas 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 as parties may prefer or patients desire. Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in llio lying posture, so its to occasion a restlessness after tlm fever lues 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 sere and breast may be bathed in eobl water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOMES. For children of one year or under, from 11 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under *2 years, “ f> to l,'i “ “ “ ’2 “ ft “ “12 to 110 “ “ “ ft “ 10 “ “ to ol) “ ” 8 “ I.) half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a tcaspooiiful is a common dose. Old persons do not require us much ax young, or those in (lie prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much a* males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children- those often years of age frequently having taken lull doses; I ait for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with tlie remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, tlm medicine w ill lie found agreeable in all of Its effects, the expectation* of the most sanguine realized, ami many perfectly astonished. My olffect iu Isiiug thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and not on account of liny actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Kemittcut Fever, Uive a teasponfnl of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till Urn fever is evidently passing off: this constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple eases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in I lie ••Rules.” Hut should there bo prominent local syntp , turns, or know n local existing causes, they should lie ’ ntteudod to at once, aud while giving tlie “Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any ease the I- wel* are particularly constipated or confined, give a i v.hurtle (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must bo opened or the fever mav rise agaiu. Whets the fevor is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and tlm patient is not particularly susceptible tci tlte influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two tcaspoousful may bo given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened, thus showing the medicine lias taxen effect. Bathing the surface with water at an Hgreoable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in tlieso difficult cases, will afford relief and aid Ihu medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two teasp >ousful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full snd soft, then only a tea suoouful. to be discontinued as the fever subsidei. Ax the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no time should be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the ” Fluid’’ aud repeat ax 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 bands or flannel; also, cold anplicitions t* the head. Quinine may be added to the •• Field” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Xtrvous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever, As those fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, living all of a low grade, the pulse s nail and wiry, with a general great depression, there is n > pracdoal u-e in separating them—at least so far as nay treatment U concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still c imptratively little, ax they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. Tho treatment should lie commenced—which tuay immodlately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of- Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse become fuller or lager in volume, then to be oontinued *uco in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subside*. In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine j and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or home tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should lie added to each ‘lose. The bowels should Is: kept gently tqien, and Miiall portion* of some hepatic should lie given occasionally, even though the bowds should be very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and muciUigenoux drinks—such ax are in common use in such cases.— Where the skin 1x very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonit x should lie used during couvalexcenee, iu all rases which have heroine reduced. Pneumonia, Typltolil Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. (live a teaspoon! ul of the “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of ft strong decoction of bonexet; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, r.uy once in six or eight hours. The bon-sot tea should bo given warm till tho violent symptom* arc ulluyed, or the patient ix relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard pla-ter. or something ol tho kind, Ui ho applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola ami .'scarla tina | or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. Ax nil of these diseases are attended with lever, which in fact is tlm most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevei.-. Remember never wait to learn tlm “name,” whether it ix one or the other, or neither, ns they all commence with freer , l ot treat It at once; govern tho fever anil there will be no trouble; there will be but tittle eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there ix no necestdij ol itx running its ordinary course. Uu Ibis ! will slake not only my reputation, but all tlial 1 bold most dear; besides, on tins subject, i have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, tlie number oj the pustides by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may bu done. I nave not only proven it may l,e, lint has been done in numerous eases that occurred on board ship. See tbs account appended. (live a teaspoonful or more, according to tlio urgency ol the ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repent tlm Fluid mice in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should be given aud repeated sufficiently to keep the lever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and tile surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Ducliesxd’Orleuns, the tongue and (miens were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on It is tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when ii was given in teaspoonful doses < or// hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the tlinoat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve bniirs by the Fluid alone.— Used to wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in ull such cases. Puerperal or ('hihllicit Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is iiable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with sucii readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the l'-ver continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be 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. Jn child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must bo tried Io lio appreciated.— Painful niciistrnalkiu will ho relieved at once by a com mon doso 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 tile most Hoofany medicine known, iis effect is uniform, riduxing the whole system, removing all excitability and irilability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use in so muiiy cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much us possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As tho Negative Electric Fluid will cliango tile condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the mime it may boor ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic .or local causes, which, whou such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When sum indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate means, and these solml l be given while giving tlie “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 tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in duo time, repeat tlie 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, u mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of latter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and batho the feet in hot water; if Hie fever is very high, skin dry mid hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie 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, iii absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient lias become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on Hie Stomach to do any goad; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm wider, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose: when the stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” mid 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, amt then you will be astonished at tlie ease with wliich you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Burtics may feel at a loss to know wlmt 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 tlie different ‘net ides of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz,:— t'n t hurl tea.—Articles that purge or operate on the bow els. Kiieli as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the root* or harks, and many pills, antibilhuis, ,Ve.; anything known to be good forsueli purposes. ll<■]>;!tics. —Anything known to net outlie liver particularly, portal circulation and accretions generally. Any of tlie articles depended on by the different schools for thin purpose, will answer when usefi in connection with tlie “ Fluid” or while tlie system is under its lti tluemv. And one may choose calomel—-another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and mi on; enrli may take his choice mid lie suc cessful. Tunics.— Article* that give tone or strength, such iix quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herb*, lio sec or tliorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers. Aat I’i iigcut a. Snell a* cheek tile fiction of the IxiW’clr. Isuidanum aud other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, whieli have tho effect. Stimulant a.—Articles tlial raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences ure all more or less stimulating. These are tlie only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though ninny others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “ dia phoretic.” “anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known ill tho materia motion. 1 shall not tax the reader with along list of proofs, depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Parkrtshl)) Uiirhext lVOrlcnns. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz We took passage on tho packetsliip Duchess d'Orlcan*. Oapt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, Franco', snd bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of An gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tile small pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, with anew 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 n few hours, ami curing iu a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-uiuc 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 ned by Dr. Seat on the oc ca-toti, possesses inestimable virtue’s. We never before beard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much case, promptness aud certainty, or so little I trouble to ihe nurse.

General Debility, Night Sweats, and all other forms of disease WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN MAlj.fl.3aiA OR MI2YSM2V. ri HI EM, diseases are common to many localities of the X t-ilit—l .-tauw; but wherever they-prevail, North, South, East or West, they ull equally spring from the same iiii Lsiual cause. The great variety ot symptoms und forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution und habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is tlie same, they will ull equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, ami for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re ag’ iit, or it, other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether iiio-ing from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal und vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tin some in character and effect; is a poi son flouting in the atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posite*. there is In tho preparation before us, offered to the public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes tlm poison whenever it comes in con tact with it. even in the open air, anil when tuken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, und thus restores and preserves health. Tlie remedy is believed to bo entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : it will instantly check the ague in persons Who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin uing free 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 up no diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility’ and filiglif Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other niede 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. since tlie introduction of the CLiiK in every part of tho United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying ns to have fully proved these assertions in favor, of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made at the date of its ilitrodiict.on, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlm most candid minds, because all Hie resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all tlicir remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saliciue, 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 are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On tliis account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is* notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, ax a proof that Ihe 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 Enfirc Itarmlessncss, The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists in tlie United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle: New Y'ork, June 11, 1855. ••1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES K. 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 work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Keme.,y not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of diseaso is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one anl tlie 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 itseli in a violent attack. Take the Cure ns a preventive, und so destroy tlie poison before it does harm. Full directions aud 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. Tlie very best tiling for general use is a 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 the operation of the antidote will lie seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms ; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud iieatroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlie apartment. This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise he resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie words. “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cure” blown in tlie glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie 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 be considered sufficient.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent an order to Ames A Uulliday for another half gross of your Feveraud Ague Cure. It has sold like “ IlotOakes,” and 1 have only two buttles on hand. One reason it hus sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, I 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 had one case of Cliill Fever where it run four days, hut the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 3-1 Bottles Perform 24 Cures.

Rhodes —Having been entirely cured by your remedy, 1 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 mouths since, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur m idicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. P. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to tho value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady iu 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 has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello. Tnd., 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 success. Respectfully yours, ’ ‘ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1850. Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who hus 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. ‘ IV. A.IIAYLES. If any liody desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro dueeil ns rapidly as possiblo into every town and village in tiio United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. 11 is therefore optional witli all to have the Fever nnd Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them nil. and it will lie noticed that the letters of which 1 publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of the Cure Lx its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tlie warm und 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 tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor nnd de bility orany kind of intemperance or dissipation.
