NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Pr |nred by N. W. Seal, M. I.
Reasons why it should bo used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrtlo affectum* :
Ut.*>Bconoiu|r of Time,-As only iMerteven M
of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
Kcononiy of Money.—As it c i*U but one
dollar.
3rd.—-Economy of Feeling*—A it saves tin*
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasuut in its effects.
itli. — Economy of Thought. —As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear mend is sick.
31 li.—Economy of limit It.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
tills. — Economy of Life. —As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons arc more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of com sc
*o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perina
neul relief, in all.ordinary cases, when used soou after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very utttur.dly conclude th y
wer uot attacked with fever, and if so, **it was trifliug
—a little cold, which gate alarm—it could have been
nothing of ceusequeuoc—it would have |>a*sod 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 case
as nuturally as men think at all: and if is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully
realise Lite truth; and even titan he may conclude them
all very t filing cases, 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 wil cases occur wh re there is some
organic or ooal cause so great as to require particular
attention or though success ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise its the influence of the “ Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in suen cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have called a ** synopsis.”
Remark* on Fever® lu tienrrab
On this subject l 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 iu quite dissimilar constitutions
and llabits, 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 o. 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 in the opinion 1
advance. 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
.>f King's College, London, w hose work on the “ Princi
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
On p ge 834. he says:—“We hear continually, both in
aud 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,
&c. Aud systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-EnLcric, 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
I in.- of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They rnn insensibly into each
other, even the in *st dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and l would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you self about a “ name;'’ if you have
fever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you
will be well .ustead 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, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climate*. 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 os 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 in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and •• Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Rales important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, aud 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
quiet to all intents and 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
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
tith. 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 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30 “
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “
“ “8 “ 15 half to u teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
Uor 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,
chiMreu require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectation
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
u jt on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
Give a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
tw i ii mrs, t II the fever is evidently passing .oft': this
j mdilutes the whole treatment in all simple cases ol
fever. with such observances as are set forth iu the
ai.es.’ But should there be prominent local syrup

upwards aud the patient is not particularly ausceptibl

thus showing the medicine has taaen effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits ami
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
CongcMtive Fever.
Give two teasp lonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more fall and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside*. As
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” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also bi
ased 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.
rVrrvoua Fever, Typhus, Ship ami Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly iu 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
any treatment >® 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 oecossary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced —which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoon fat of -‘Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or lager in volume, then to be continued
uce in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
| In had cases, from throe to five grains each of guininv !
I and eajmicum (Cayenne pc ppm*) or some tonic and stimu
i lunt (sm auxiliaries) should be added to ouch do>e. The
| bowels should le kept geutly open, and small portions
j of some hepOtc should be given occasionally, even
though tin* bowels should bo very loose. The patient
j should be sustained by nourishing and nnieilagiMious j
| drinks—such as are lu common use iu such cases.
Where tlio ■kill is very dry, sponging the surface as di
reeled in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu all ease* i
which have become reduced.
Fuiuiuonia, Typlioill Pneumonia, Lung
or \\ inter Fever.
Give a teaspoon ful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wiue-glaiwful of a strong decoction ot bonesot; or |
half the quantity limy bo given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The bonesot tea should bo given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient i* relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ol
the kiud, to Im applied over the seat of paiu; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, ltubeulii and Scarla
tinal or Small Pox, Varioloid, Mcailcs,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases arc attended with fever, which
iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fi vers. Remember
never wait to learn the “mime,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commeuee tenth frva\ but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no
trouble; there will be but tittle eruption eveu in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
l direct, will be cut short: attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitliug, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, buta.l that l hold most dour;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that ol
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie say s, page 874:
•‘You may abate the force of the eruptive fiver, and
keep Uuwu. it is believed, the number oj tin pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tout It may
be done, i nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid ouce in two hours it necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
nut it should Ik* given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever uuder control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles muy be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess d'Orleans, the tongue
aud Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when ii was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour , till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The .swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
/test gurgle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarmiug
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid w ith such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time, it should be re
peated as 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. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its [tains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Baiufui menstruation w ill 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; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies I'ormany 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 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, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called fiver, 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 or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” aud 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, I 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 tlio dose : if attended
itli 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 in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
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 waali,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tile 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 “ 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, aud 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, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz :
Cathartic®.—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.
Hepatic®.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopbyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each inay take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonic®.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, root® and bitter herbs. Rune
or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringent*.—Such as check the action of tin
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite tin
yttem. Cawii m (Cayenne peeper) is onh of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimu ating. These are the only classes necessa
ry treating fevers, though many others are geuoially
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a beter •• diu
[diuretic.*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
•sedative” than known in the materia rntdicu.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
dapending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
PncketMhip Ditches® D’Orlcan®.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
Wo, 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, Franco’,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the Pth of An
gust, 1851, with over a hundred soul* on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge,Dr. N. W.‘ Seat, with
anew remedy of his 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. Seat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
►mail pox and fever on board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

W Hit’ll HAVE A COMMON OHIO IN IN
Olt MIASMA.
r |MIKBK diseases are common to many localities of the
1_ United Mates; hut wherever they prevail, North,
Nnith, East or West, they all equally spring from the
same niiasiual cause. Thu great variety of symptom* and
forms of diseuap is owing principally to difference in tigc,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; blit ns the
cause is the same, they will all equally y ield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove ilint cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
w hether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lauds, is tin* same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating hi the atiiiosphere, causing disease to nil w ho
breathe it. tu accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before us, ottered to
the public,
The Batumi Antidotcdo Mulnrin,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it conns in con
tact with it. even in the open air, aud when taken inter
nally completely purifies the sy stem affected by it of its
baueful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any hut the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary result* from its use:
It will instautly cheek the ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of lime, troin one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tion*, a radical cure will l>o effected; the patient contin
uing flee from the complaint forever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should mak-* its use again necessary.
In its ope ration upon the poison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague discuses, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Aiglit Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
ciues. Thu 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 bo banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
Aud pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
!since the introduction of the CURE in every part of
tlio United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying ns to have fully proved these assertions iu
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations wore 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, Merci.ry, Salieine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail or give only
temporary relief, their pois. nous effects jre superadded
to the poor sufferer's first complaint.
On this account aguo sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now. as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public: Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Harmlessness,
The lollowing certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it i3 attached to eveiy bottle:
New York, Juno 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
ami Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES It. CIIILTON, 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 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 and
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves ly 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
prepared by a 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 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 re taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates.) and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, 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 Ague Cure” blown in the
glass, ami on tlio outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) aud the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits und imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon it®
actual MERITS, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

way of advertisement*. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at leari those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Real Esc in Fuhnmuiry Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most unprofessiiinally.and deroga
toiily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of M diciue. 1 refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, w hich is a scientific remedy that I have
used with more success thau any of the usual prescrip

‘Gallatin, Miss., May 1. 1855,
0. 0. Woodman—Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant u fair trial and am well pleased* with its ef
fects; better than any other article 1 ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen lw>t,-
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason, M. 1).
This preparation has attained a wide celebrity frrfni
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvi lit.
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, R will
also lie found excellent, Ito natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
bus stood the. test of the medical fraternity. It fe sanc
tioned by. approved of, and recommended by tlio leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or tlio money rofutided. We guaran
tee It to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else* now extant.

IIAYING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
11 given by Hie celebrated chemist Dr. J. It. Chilton,
of New York ciCy, 111 favor of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arseuic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, i was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for the medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of u large
quantity, mostly to resident* of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, aud to whom 1 can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.

Mr. Janies A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it lias been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and iu spite of the different remedies
and treatment J adopted, iny health grew worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. —
Since that time I have not hud a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.

I remain truly yours,

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here 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 hot tie of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, lud., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and cun 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. IL. Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Aguo 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 ever., body. I 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 CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible in o every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, kc. The eminent chem
ist. l>r. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
I 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 l>e realised. Now they
endorse them nil. and it will he 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 is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use us a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the 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 ami permanent effects
ns a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
