NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by’ N. \V. Scat, St, D.
I .1 :011s why it should bo used instead of any other treat- j
mi nt in all Febrile affections :
i!.—BScoiiomy of Time.—As only one-seventh
the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
‘id.—Economy Os Mon<-y.—As it c mis but one
dollar.
.'lrd. Kcoiiomyof Feeling.—As it save* the
Kiill-riiiu’ of a lung sickness and the COUKcqiiont treat
ment ; tin annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disi„reeahle operation, and the pain of
loot; confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant In its effects.
ltl>. Economy of Tlioupgtit. —As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
■xisthi-t. respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is siek.
.1 til.—Economy of Ilc-wltli.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to lie followed by chronic disease.
fit ti.—Economy of Life.—As the cure iseffected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be milled, but these arc deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons In all condi
tions id life.
The above reasons arc more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut will
apply with equal force Ureases which have been subject
ed to or have iiccomc reduced, corresponding of course
to the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when tisisl soon after
Uni attack, pet rous can scarcely realize that th y had
beci, really iinn h siek, and very naturally conclude tb y
wer • not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘ it was trilling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could liuve been
nothin,! of consequence—it would have passed off with

iinpiv mi the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
Dol unlike the alrovc follow the cure of a common case
ns naturally m men think at all; and it is not until
the in uvidual has witnessed many cases that lie call fully

all very t illing eases, which would have readily yielded
to an , .-ample ID lieine, yet persrms. though they have
been thus -urcesaful ill perhaps hundreds of cases, must
cx irct that there wil eases nccur wli re there is some
orr.mii ill cause so great as to require particular
attention or though kucci s nl in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the iutluenee of the •“ Fluid” passes

against disappointment hi stien cases that I have given
and Irequcully refer to what I have called u “synopsis.”

On this suliject 1 wish to be fully understood. Ily tlie
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame Is subject, Including small |iox
and olbei eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
anil liuhi.s, they of course differ considerably in their
development aud 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—lnducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
‘ln show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance. I quote from the celebrated I'rof. T. Watson,
of King's College, London, whoso work on tho “ Princi
pi.is and I’ractiee of Physic” Is a textbook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
On pige sit, lie says : —“We hear continually, both in
aud out of the profession, different sped -s of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
•Vc. And s.v lemutie writers are to tin- full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Entoric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this still-division, is hud and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
lin ■ of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the m -st dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great foct, one worthy of remembrance
and l would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you self about a “ mime;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, aud you
will be wi ll nsteud of any distiuctcharocter being devel
oped. soils to lie properly named by the most scientific.
Tills assertion Is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances. seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat, at once without regard to mime, and rest
assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as eases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under •’omn other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies’
aud “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for nil those
accustomed to attendance ui <u the sick.

should any conversation he allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, hut he left

6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it us
plentifully, aud as long ns the patient desires and no

cold or warm a parties may prefer or patients desire.
bill. Should patients experience any oppression or
faint lie.-, while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed off', or enough to
occasion them to -peak of it, they should have a little
wme. toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade.with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face aud
breast may be bathed in celd water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

Xmmii Fever, Typlius, Shlji aml Putrid
or Spoiled Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, lieing nil of it low grade, tlie pulse
small and airy, with a general great depression, there (s
no practical u-<* ia separating them—at least so fur as
mv treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will I', required; still
comparatively little, ns they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should bo commenced —which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
became- fuller or lager in volume, then to be continued
>nce in six or eight hours till tlie fever entirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to live grains each of ijuimne
anil capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. The
bowels should he kept gently open, and small portions
of some liejhdic should he given occasionally, even
though the h.Twels should he very loose. The patient
should lie sustained liy nourishing and mucilftgenous
drinks—such us are iu common use iu such cases.—
Where tlie skin is very dry, sponging tin- surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous.
Tonics should lie used during convalescence, iu uil eases
which have Iswouie reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Given teaspoon ful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or
half tlie quantity may bu given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should he given warm till the violent
symptoms are alluyisi, or the patient Ih relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard planter, or something ot
the kind, to be applied over tlie scat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Ilubeoln and (scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with lever, which
iu fact is tim most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs line little from tliut of common level s. Ilemcmber
never wait to learn the “mime,” whether it is one dr the
oilier, or neither, us they all commence with freer, hut
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will b a but little. eruption even in small
pox. This, hi most mi nils, is anew idea, and doubtless
will bu regarded with ridicule by many. J nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, tliut small (six, if treated as
I direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup
tion ; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its i nulling its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, hut a.l that I hold most dear;
In-sides, on this subject, i itave good authority; that of
ITof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
” You may abate tlie force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, Ills believed, tlie number of the. pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tliut it may
he done. I nave not only proven it may be, hut has
been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board
ship, (see the account appended.
(live a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts er castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
hut It should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchessd’Orleans, tin- tongue
and sauces were so much swollen that the patient could
not swuliow or speak, and ho was cured liy dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
wlien it was given in teaspoonful doses reery 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 hi wot the throat frequently, It is doubtless the
best gurgle in all such cases.
I’ncr|eral or Childbed Fever.
TliiH heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire anil per
manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re
peated as long as the fover continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot retrain from
making a few general remarks, which; if regarded by
tin- ladies, will save them luucli pain and suffering. It
ia to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
und difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut 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, l give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may he or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie 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
lie appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection with it. when
occasion requires, as they w ill 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 tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrliu-u, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if tlie lever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will bo no trou
ble ; if tin- patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iu 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 nay 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 tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“ Fluid” lit the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease
w ith which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
l’arties 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 lie fully understood by
all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz;—
A atliai-tirs.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be goodforsurh purposes.
H• putlea.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any ot the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with tlie -■ Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllln—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on: each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Hone
st". or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Luudunum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not property astringents
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Artioles that raise or excite tlie
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences tire all more
or less stiinuTiting. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are gi netallv
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bet'er ■■ dia
phoretic.” “anodyne,” --diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than ktiowu in the materia medica.
1 shall not tux the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and w ill
only refer to one instance of success, thnt on the
Parkrtalii]i Duchess O'Orleans,
which cannot be classed among ordinary certilicatos:
We. the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
We took passage on the pitoketahip Duchess diirlenns
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’
aud hound for New- York. She sailed on the (Itb of Au
gust, ISM, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants. Thev were all
treated by the physician iu charge. Dr. N. \V.‘ Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Klee
trie 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 ‘lie 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,
smallpox and fever on Imard. and not a death’ The
fact speaks for itself.

FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE

other Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also ot
Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp
lons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever. Ship
aud Jail Fever, General Debility, Night
.Sweats, and all other forms of disease
WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIOIN IN
MA.ZjAXt.IA. OR MI ASMA.
riMIKSE diseases are common to many localities of the
Luffed .--Lutes; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring from the
same iniasnial cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but us the
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle bus its opposite,
aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All .Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the. atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance witli those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posite*, there to In the preparation before us, ottered to
the public,
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, uuil tints restores end preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any hut tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims
tin- following extraordinary results from its use :
It will instantly cheek 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 bo effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should niak“ its use again necessary.
In its operation upon tlie poison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility und Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mede
ciucs. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
anil strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class iu the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And 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 tlie CERE iu every part of
the United States, its success lias been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all tlie resources cf
science iiad been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, anil when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may bo 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 Ilarinlcssneas,
Tlie lollowing certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to evety bottle :
New York, June 11, 1855.
“I Itave 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 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work 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 as the one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an!
tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves liy tlie 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
tin-poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will olten be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of tiie antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution, —In certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and ulso the air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud uestroy, to a deg.eo commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tlie
signature of tho 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.

ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:

NO POISON. PROOFS !
See what the President of the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria:
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1850.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, 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 I have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of thiscity, who have inva
riably been cured by it, und to whom 1 can refer. I am,
therefore, satisfied iu recommending it to be all that
tho proprietor represents.
EDWARD S. WHEATON,
Presd't of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri.
Had tlie Ague for Twelve Years !
Providence, June 29, 1855.
Having been informed of tho illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who has not been fre e from F’ever and
Ague a month at a time for the last twelve years, I sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took In all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, and as four months
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma
nency of the cure.

.James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sirl have just sent
an order to Ames k Hiilliday for another half gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure. It lias sold like “ Ilot Cakes,”
und I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I have heard of a ease of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and 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 Chill Fever w here it run four days, but the man came
to see me on the sixtli day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

slr. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—The box of “ Ague

demand for more; to meet which we have ordered
from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.
Its sule will only be equalled by the number of Fever
and Ague cases. Hoping these cases may be few, yet
have a bottle for every case.
We remain respectfully yours,
RICHARDS & ALLEN.

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.
Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sip—Your medicine has met
with the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I
have about five bottles left. 1 give it to them at first,
‘if no cure no pay,’ although 1 was not authorized by
you to do so; but I took the responsibility on myself.—
Rut not a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out
of the article I wish you would forward me one gross of
the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will be
punctual in payment. I inclose fifteen dollars on the
medicine I have received, for which please send me a
receipt. Ship the me as soon as you can—there
never lias been as much Chills and Fever since 1 lived in
the State, as at present. Yours, Ac.,

Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855.
Dr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress
ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one
bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four
dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1865.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the cenefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and in spite of the different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until
I commenced the use of your F’ever und Ague Cure. —
Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing y jur m ‘dicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N.
Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in

i ine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it

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 tiuuily of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Curo 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, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been iu 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, 1856.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
nu-rits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who bus been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A. 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 iu o every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
1 can ulso Bay 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 all. and it will be noticed that the letters
of which I publish su h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
till any newspaper, aud 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 as 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 F’ever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
oility or auy kind of intemperance or dissipation.
