removing, in ucorresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes uiul persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons arc morn particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, cor responding of course
*,o the nature of the case at the time it is first inliiiinis
tered.
As this remedy gives ho prompt, effectual and perma

been really much sick, and vary naturally uom hide tin y
wen II and attacked with fever, and if so, “if was trifling
-a little cold, which gave alarm—lt could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed of! with
out anything—that medicine had noefl'ect.” The general
Impression on tie subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not. unlike the above follow the cure of u common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases Unit lie can fully
realize the truth; ami even then he may coneludo them
all very ti ifllng cases, which would have reudily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great ns to require particular
attention, or though success.ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of tiio “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 I have called a “ synopsis.”
ItcimirkM on l'' vers In General*
On this subject I wisli to be fully understood. Ily the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which tho human frame it subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great,
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and lialiiis, 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 01 undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—lnducing more or lc - 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 I
advance, 1 quote from the eelebrafeil I'rof. T. Wutson,
of King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthor ily.
On pige 834, he says “ YVm hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Uy tho public, Typhus Fever, llrniri Fever,
bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular;
Mncou. Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-Flnteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, lain persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of ul I this snli-divislon, Is had and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
tin ■ of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of thorn, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
aud 1 Would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you self nlmiit a “ name;” If you have
lover, treat it nt once ns hereafter directed, and you
will he well .ustoud of any (list (net character being devel
oped, so as to In* properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula
tlons or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of tile sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under n great variety of cir
rum-dunces, Seasons and climates. Hear this in mind
uud treat ut once without regard to name , anil rest
assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing uud dangerous fevers. Hut us cases may liavo bo
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describt
us briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though Die “ Rules’
and “Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Rules important to I* observed in all cases in using the
Xegalive Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, uud may bo sweetened or not at
pleasure.
-1. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in the
sick room.) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fiuouco.
3d. it must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to tio resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such bo the case under nuy
circumstances.
-till. When the fewer begins to subeide, patients must
be lett perfectly quiet; free from nil excitement; should
not be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatevei
till their own natural Jo'lingt, 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
quie. to all intents uud purposes.
5 th. 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, eithei
Cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
6th. Should patients experience any oppression ot
faintness while tu the lying posture, so iis to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should huvo a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spi lt, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

Thera is no particular care necessary ill giving it to
children—those ot ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; hut for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, us a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations

the pulse becomes more full ami soft, then only a tea

bowels are generally confined, and it Is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate In tills disease,
no time should he 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 he
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing w ith the hands or flannel: also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine tnay be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Sym psls.
Nervous Fever, Ty-pluts, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, living all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, n little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, ns they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will he necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a tsaspootiful of ” Fluid “ every two hours, till the pulse
become- fuller or taiger in volume, then to lie continued
tnce in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
In hod eases, from three to five grains each of quinine
and eapsicum (f'uyotine pt'Pis-r) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should ho kept gently open, uud small portions
of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. The patient
should |>e sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
drinks—such as are in common use in such coses.—
Where the skin is very dry, swinging the surface as di
rected ill bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics sin slid Is-nsed during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lmig
or \Vluter Fever.
(liven tiiuspoouful of tile “Fluid” every two hours,
witii .i wine-glassful of a strong decoction of Lout-set; or
half the quantity may lie given every hour till relieved,
then, ut longer intervals, say once in sixer eight hours.
The lioin*set tea should he given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; lumeutalious, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep tho
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Ncarla
t Inn ; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
dilb rs hue little from that of common fevers. Itoiueiubcr
nover waif to learn the “ name,'’ whether it Is ono or the
other, or neither , ns they all commence with fever, but
treat it nt once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will be bill little, eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, nnd doubtless
will Unregarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will he cut short; attended with hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, but ud that i hold most dear;
besides, on” this subject, I have good authority; that of
Prof. Wutson, previously quoted. He says, page 8H:
” Von limy abate the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
(live a teaspoonful on more, according to tho urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in'two hours if necessary, until tho fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
hut it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever undor control. When the throat is ulfected,
any of tho ordinary gargles may be used, nnd the
surface bathed, us thought advisable.
in one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and bilious 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 lie could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to tako nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
beet gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore puinful, dangerous and alarming
innlady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tho
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, utmost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as the fever continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 Cannot refrain from
malting a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will suve them much paiu uud suffering. It
is to in form 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 pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
iniiii dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
itHuse; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
ett’ectuai remedies formally of the ills of females, if not
(lie must 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.
Mynopsls.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tho Negative Electric Fluid
will change tho condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to be culled, it should bo given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld bo given while
riving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
iccasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
lime will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub
due tile 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, aud should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to bo 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 tho part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tho feet in hot water; if the lever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
•‘tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, cither will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient has beeu 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 tlio stomach
to do any good ; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” uud a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
■is you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; Indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease
wiih 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 w hat is used. 1 have found ho such necessity
when using the Fluid, aud to lie fully understood by
nil, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat hart lc s. —Articles that purgo or operute on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; uuything
known to lie good for such purposes.
Hepatic a.—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 tho •• Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And oue may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—Die third, podopliyllln—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 barks, mils and bitter herbs. Holie
st 1 ; or Ihoroughworl is oue of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such us check the action of the
bowels. Laudnnumand other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
whieli have the effect. ’
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac-., tlie essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a het'er “ dia
phoretic.’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“ sedative” than known in tho materia medico.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list ‘of proofs
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one iustunce of success, that ou the
Paclartallip Duchess D'Orlcaus.
which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates;
We, the uudersigued, certify to the’ following, viz
We took passage on the jiacketship Duchess d’Orleans
Capt Hutton, then lying iu the port of Havre. France’
and bound for New York. She sailed ou the 9th of Au
gust, 1861, w ith over a hundred souls on board, niostlv
emigrants- A lew days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out omoug the emigrants. They were ail
treated by the physician iu charge. Dr. N. YV. Seat, with
anew remedy ofliis 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 tho voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there w ere about eighty cases of small pox. some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Heat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
beard 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,
small pox and fever on board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

oUier Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of
Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp
lons ; Typhoid Fever, Y'ellow Fever, Ship
aud Jail Fever, General Debility, Night
Sweats, and all other forms of disease
WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MALARIA OR MIASMA.
fIMIESE diseases are common to many localities of the
J Unite! States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring from the
same miusmsl cause. The great variety ot symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in 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.
Uy the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or iu other words a speciflc remedy. All .Mularia,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character ami effect; is a Jen
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is iu the preparation before us, offered to
the public,
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the jxiison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to uny but the proprietor, who distinctly elaiins
the following extraordinary results from its use :
It will instantly check tho ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, ami liy continning its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exjiosure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its ojieration upon the jxiison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoniß of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other inede
cines. The jiatient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use F’ever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And jiursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuablo part of the
year.
Since the introduction of the CURE in every purt of
tlie United States, its success has been so complete aud
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions iu
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at tho date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
tlie most candid minds, because all (lie resources of
science bad been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and wbat was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, havo been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saliciue, Ac.
The effects of theße are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, aud when such remedies fail, or give only
temjiorary relief, their ftoisunuus effects are superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may he taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that tho Remedy is not only valuablo
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 following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists m tho United Suites lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to evei y bottle:
New York, June 11, 1856.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ F’ever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
havo not found a particle of either in it, nor have lfound
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to re.ieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by
pre wilting the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Heme .y not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as tlie one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
tlie same cause, uud therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use
of tliis preventive, and not wait for the poißon 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 in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the ojieration of the antidote will bo seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —In 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 tlie vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air waited across, or circulated over tho
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud estroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the ajiartment.
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 Aouk Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (tho copyright of which is secured) and tlie
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient,

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillas. Pills, Plasters, Liniments, 4c., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Heal Use in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofeHsi..nally,and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mediciue, I refer to YYoodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any Os the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
„ Gallaiin, Miss., May 1, 1855.
O. 0. U oodman —Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a iair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article I ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen i*>t
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
YV. M. Mason, M. D.
This pre;iaration has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. F’or
coughs, colds, and iu fact, auy pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its jieeuliar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probabiy be preferred to auy other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also I*, found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers iu proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading
I hysicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. YY'e guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant.

See w hat 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, leoo.
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
curji nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
lor the medicine. Since then I have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommonding it to l>e all that
the proprietor represents.

Had the Ague for Twelve Years !
Providence, June 23, 1855.
Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who has not been fre e from Fever and
Ague a month at a time for tin- last twelve years, 1 sup
plied her gratuitously witii 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 elajised, there is no reason to doubt the perma
nency of the cure.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent
an order to Ames 4 Holliday for another half gross of
your F’everaud Ague Cure. It lias sold like” Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two hottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is liecause when l have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and teld them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Moline, IU., Sept. 24, 1855.
Mb. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—The box of “ Ague
Cure” you sent us has all been sold and created a large
demand for more; to meet which we have ordered
from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.
Its sale will only he 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 4 ALLEN.

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.
Maxwell, Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your medicine lias met
with the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I
have about five bottles left. I give it to them at first,
‘if no cure no pay,’ although 1 was not authorized by
you to do so; but 1 took tlie responsibility on myself.—
But not a bottle has come back, and as 1 am almost out
of tho 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
medicino 1 have received, for whieli pleaso send me a
receipt. Ship the cure*to me as soon as you can—there
never has been as much Chills and F’ever since I lived in
the State, as at present. Yours, &c.,
RICHARD MARTIN, P. M.

Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855.
Dr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —Your Cure for the F’ever
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 u-< immediately four
dozen, as we have hut three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATIIROP 4 MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and in spite of the different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until
I commenced the use of your F'ever and Ague Cure. —
Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur m -dicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an
advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.”
We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire
to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N.
Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in
forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in
every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi
cine to be good, aud we take pleasure in bringing it
before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro,
Md. Sept. 4.
Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1856.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the :amily of a clergym iu here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
tho Cure and lias 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. Y r ours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticbllo, lnd„ Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicino 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
merits, aud given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only oue bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A.IIAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the United States, Canadas. 4c. 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, j ust 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 be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will be 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 newsjiaper. and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The Croxvning'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 mini woman or child in the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
w hose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilions diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
