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 .mu*. or Known local exist.ng causes, they should b it eu led to ut once, and while giving the “Fluid.’’ See Synopsis. if in any case the b avols are particularly constipated co u fin-id, give a <..! liar tic (see auxiliaries) with tin irst portion , they must be opened or the fever may ris< ig tin. vV’here the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards aud the patient is not particularly ausceptibl to tin; influence of med.cine—uot easily operated on by •neuiciuo generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousiu) may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated iri two hours—if it—me pulse—has not been softened. 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. Signed, F- I*. Fa util, 84 Pearl street, New York. E.G. Kauri. “ “ “ “ J. A.

Night M\eats, and all other forms ot disease 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.

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.

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.
