organic or local cause so great as to require partieular
attention, or though success.ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” jsisses
oil. as the exciting Cause may still exist. Ills to guard
against disappointment in snen cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have railed u “synopsis.”
Rnnarksmi Fevers In General*
On this subject I wish to he fully understood, liy the
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which tlie human frame is autyect, including maul! pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and liabils, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit u variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the tcime general character
istics--that ui undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less iilinutural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tile skin,
debility, Ac.
To show tlmt I am not wholly alone in tie’ opinion 1
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated prof. T. Watson,
nl King'a College, London, whoso work oil the “ I’linei
ples and I’raelice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauUinrily.
iln page HI! I, be says : —“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public. Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, I’utrid Fever, l,uw Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic wrilers are to the lu 11 as particular;
Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Gastro-lOntoric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever sln,ws itself under
various loruis, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all Ibis sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
urn urages n disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, ami are often
traceable to t lie same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your miiios the folly of hunting
up or troubling you self about a•• name,” if you have
fever, treat it at. once as hereafter directed, and you
will he will instead of any distiuctcharaeter being devel
oped. so as to la, properly named by the most scioutiflo.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the lied
side of the sick, ill hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a gieat variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, mid rest
assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Bat ns 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 bo pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies’
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for ail those
accustomed to attendance upon tlm sick.
Rules important to he übseri'etl in nil cam's in nsini/ the
Xeyalive Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Fallouts must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should al ways lie free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. it must huroutinued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing oil'; to bo resumed when il
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
4tli. When Hie fever begins to subside,patients must
lie loft perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not lio questioned as in 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; mu
should any conversation lie allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel mure or less interested, but be left
quid to all intents and purposes.
3th. fluids should he allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, ami as long ns the patient desires and no
lot.get . I hey may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parlies may prefer or patients desire.
tdh. Should puli,nits experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so us to occasion a
restlessness after the lover lias passed off, or enough to
occasion thorn 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 fare and
breast tuny be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

All persons over httecu considered as adults, for whom

require as much us young, or those in the prime of life;
uer females, as a general rule, as much us males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children —those of ten years of age frequently ‘inn ing
taken lull doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given Ihe
above table, with tile remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proport ion,
Hy observing tlie above directions, the medicine will
he found agreeable ill all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, Unit
the full beuetlt ol the medicine may lie obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict oh
servances.
lltliniiN ui- Knnittciit Fever,

constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu (lie

toms, or knowu local existing causes, they should be
attended to at oner, and while giving the •• Fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
If iu any case the b ivels are particularly constipated
or couflned, give a c. ihiirtie (see auxiliaries) with tlie
first portion ; they mud be opened or the fever may rise

the bowels are generally couflned, and it is frequently
very difficult t” get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should lie lost to get them o|ien, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeal as may be neces
sary till it operates; euemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) w ith the hands or flannel: also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” If thought advisable. Bee Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship nml Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of u low grade, ihe pulse
small and w iry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical u<e in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commune- ‘ —which may
immedial-'ly follow any other without detriment—with
u teaspoonful of •* Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
beci tnes fuller or lat ger In volume, then to be continued
>nee in iix or eight hour* till the fever entirely subsides.
| 111 leal cases, from three to llvit grains each of quinine
; and capsicum (Gnyeuuo pepper) nr some tonic and .-litiiu
hnit (see auxiliaries) should lie added to each dime. The
bowels hliouhllm kept gently open, and small perilous
ol’ some ticjmlic should lie given ‘sviisiopally, even
though the bowel* should lie very loose. Jiie patient
should is- sustained by nourishing and mucilagonoii*
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.
Where the skill is very dry. sponging the surface as di
rect, and in biliotis fever, will bo found advantageous.
Tonics should lie used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
tinea leaspsiufid of the “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of if strong di-coction of bnneset; or
half the quantity may bo given every hour till relieved,
then, ut longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
Tile huiieset tea should bo given warm till tlm violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to lie applied over the seat oi pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variolu, Varioloid, Rubeola and Ncai-la-
I Ini, i or Small I’m, Varioloid, Measles,
aud Scarlet Fever.
A.- all ol these diseases are attended w jlii fever, which
in tael is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
dilti is hue little from that id common level’s. Kemember
never wail to learn the name,” wlietln rit is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with fen r, but
treat it at once; govern tlie fever mid there will be no
trouble; there will l,e hut little eruptum even in siniill
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and ikmbtless
will he regarded w ith ridicule hy many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will he cat short; attended with hut'little erup
tion ; little or no pilling, and that there is no necessity of
ils running its ordinary course. On tins l will stake
not only my reputation, hut ad limit hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, i have good authority; tlmt of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“You may ahaUi tile force of tlie eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the tmniher uj’ the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Hotels the admission tlmt it may
be done. I nave not only proven it muy lie, but has
heeji done in numerous cases tlmt occurred on board
ship. Bee tlie account appended.
(live a teaapoouful of more, according to the urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though oue or two doses is generady sufficient;’
hut il should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the lever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of llie ordinary gargles may he used, nml the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Dm liess d’Orleans, tlie tongue
and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on liis tongue, drop hy drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teasiioonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
(lie throat was reduced so its to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tlm throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle iu all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This 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
twispoiiiiful, almost invariably giving entire ami per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re
peated as lung as the fever continues, us in other cases.
Tlie bowels of course should he attended to.
In connection with this Hiihjrct, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded hy
the ladies, will suvo them much pain mot Muttering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing anil
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
ami difficulties; it must lie tried to ho appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will he relieved at once hy a com
mon dose and retiring. Kestlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved hy
ilsuse; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tlie most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
ami iritubility of the nervous as well ns the circulatory.
II will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis,
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat
ment as much as possible, X give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
mime it limy he or ought lo lie called, it should be giieu
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.
Wlien such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it. when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily art,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due lime, repeal the dose; if attended
with diurrliiea. 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, n blister, f. mentations 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 feel 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 wash,” vinegar and water or spirits ami
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will lie no trou
ble ; if the patient lias lieen reduced or is much prostra
ted. give tonics ami stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also
during convalescence, when the putieut has become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm Water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid ‘ and a cathartic it
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as y on would under any other circumstances, giving the
” Fluid'’ al the same time as directed, aud success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realise it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished lit the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know wlmt is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood b'v
.ill, 1 will name a lew of tlie different ‘articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz :
< t liurt tr. articles that purge or operate on the
bow els, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
■ or barks, and many pills, untibiUnus, Ac.: anything
known to be good far such purposes.
liepntlt's.—Anything know n to act on the liver
pat licnlut I\, pot lat circiiliition and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
tor this purpose, will answer w hen used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
ti ocucc. And one may choose calomel—another blue
mass—th” third. podophyllln—the fourth, mandrake
root, nml so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
I'oii Ich. Articles that give tone or strength, such
ns quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bour
se, nr thoroughworl is one of the best used in fevers
A stringent a. Such as check the action of (lie
bowels, laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulant*.- Articles tlmt raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best •
ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Ac.. Ihe essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are geuetnllv
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “ diii
phorelic,” “anodyne.” “diuretic,” “ relaxant ” and
“sedative than known in the materia medic a.

emigrants- A tew days after leaving Havre, the siiuiil
jinx broke out among the emigrants. They ware all
treated by the physician in charge,Dr. N. IV.'Boat, with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative ’ Elec
tric Fluid, witli which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.

there were about eighty cases of small pox. some lever,

From what we saw during said passage, wo are fully

r | ‘lll.SE diseases are common to many localities of tlie
I United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring from the
same uiiasmn! cause. The great variety of symptoms and
tortus of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution anil habits of the sufferers; but us the
cause is the same, they will all equally yield ton remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or in other word* a spediio remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared binds, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son flouting in the atmosphere,causing disease toall who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
govciuiug the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in tlie preparation before its. offered to
the public,
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes tlie poison w henever it comes in con
tact with it, even iu the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purifies the system affected hy it of its
baneful influence, aud tlms restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use;
it will instantly check tlie ague in persons who have
suffered lor nny length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a riulical euro will bo effected; tlie patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to -malaria should make its use again necessary.
in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will
immediately relievo all tile distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent tlie accession of
General Debility’ and Night Sweats,
Which so often follow the administration of other mode
cities. The patient ut once begins to reever appetite
aud strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.

every family and class in the community; farmers, me

Prevent! vc,
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 the CURE in every part of
the United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
M’lieu these declarations were made, at tlie date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all the resources of
science hail 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 fioisouous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac.
Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fia.il, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects .tie superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever anil 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,
Tlie ioliowing certificate from one of tlie most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle :
New York, June 11, 1855.
“1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, anil 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 iu its composition that would prove inju
rious to tlie 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 nny baneful ingredient makes
tliis 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 anl
tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by tlio timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
tlie poison hi fore 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 antibilions purgative. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil. the object of which is to c.eanse the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must betaken
or tlio operation of the antidote will lie seriously ob
structed
Only Caul ion.—ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and place them in

dregs of it. utter the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
tiuii ucstroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
Thin mode of exhibiting tlio Cure should likewise he
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the
glass, mid on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
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 lie considered sufficient.

HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
Dveil by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. K. Chilton,
of New York city, in laver of Rhode*’ Fever anil Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, aud having received numerous ap
plications for it. I was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for tlie medicine. Biuee then I have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of tins city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be ull that

worthy woman, who lias nut been fre e from Fever anil
Ague a month at a time for tlie last twelve years, I .sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague

stored her to health aud strength, and as four mouths
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma

and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
lias sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case 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 nr.t obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I hail oue ease

But not a bottle lias come back, and as I am almost out

punctual in payment. 1 inclose fifteen dollars on the

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1555.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills aud fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and in spite of the different remedies
and treatment l adopted, my 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 iu the enjoyment of good health.
M'isliing your m ‘dicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Bept. 25,1865.
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
tlie Cure and lias uot 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, hid., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes— Dear Sir — l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, anil can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
per feet success. Respectfully yours,
‘ ‘ W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. It., Ga., Jan. 1,185 G.
Y'our Ague 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 everybody. T shall do all I
can in its sale. ‘ ‘w. A.IIAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it iu every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible in o every town and village
in iho United Btates, Canadas, Ac. The eminent cheni
ist. Dr. J. K.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
lect innocence, it is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
1 can also say that a great many of uiy 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 nut be realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will lie noticed that tlie letters
oi which I publish su h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use ns a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a mau woman or child iu 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
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.
