NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared toy N. W. Heat, M. I>.
Ileaseim why it should bo used iUK toad of any other trcat
n>ut in all Febrile affections:
Ut.—Economy of Time*— An only one-seventh
of the ordinary time is required to effect a euro.
ill.--Economy of Money- — A it c stu but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Keellntf —A# it nave* the
■uttering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain ot
long confinement; hut little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant In Its effects.
4t to.— Kconomy of Ttoonfj(tot. —As when
known, It will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
yth.— Kronomy of Ilealtto. —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the lever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
Ot to.— Kconomy of Life. —As the cure Is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
remqving. in u corresponding degree, all danger ot a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might lie added, hut these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life. ,
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
tlie immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to tlie nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, iu all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, anil very naturally conclude tin y
wore not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling
—a little cold, whicli gave alarm —it could have been
nothing of censoquence—it would have passed otl’ with
out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the euro of a common ease
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
the individual has witnessed ninny ciisesthat lie can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trilling eases, which would have readily yielded
pi any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful iu perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
a tic ■ l Lion, or though successlul iu reducing the fever,
it will again rise us the influence of the “Fluid” passes
oil, us the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment ill alien cases that i have given
and frequently referto wliat 1 have ealled a “ synopsis.”
Remarks <lll Fevers iu General*
On this subject I wish to he fully understood. Ily the
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar ('(institutions
and habits, 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 ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
ueivous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency In the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority.
On page 834, lie says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever,
llilious Fever, Putrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac, And systematic writers are to the full ns particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that tho effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad anil hurtful. It
encourages a 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 ran lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of bunting
up or troubling youiself about a “ name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will l>f wrll instead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so as to he properly named by the must scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, blit 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. Hear this in mind,
and treat at mice without regard to name, and rest
ussurod you will soon lie freed from all iLcad of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Itut tvs cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under seme other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued ill
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synepsls” will lie amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Rules important to tie observed in all eases in using the.
Aegutive Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may ho sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation iu the
Bick room,) nor.attsmpt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing oil'; to he resumed when it
liegins to rise again, should such he the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
he left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not ho questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
noons influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, Hildas long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, cither
cold or warm as parties may*prefor or patients desire.
titli. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tin* fever has passed olf, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tlie face and
breast may Vie bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as uiueli as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular rare accessary in giving it to
children—those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; hut for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing tlie above directions, the medicine w ill
he found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in beiug thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
not on Hccouut of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
HI lions or Kemlt trill Fever,
Hive a teospouful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oil; this
constitutes the whole treatment in (ill simple cases ot
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
“Rules.” Rut should there lie prominent local symp
toms, or kuowu local existing causes, they should he
attended to at. once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
It 111 any ease the h wcls are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must be opened or tlie fever limy rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to tlie Influence of medicine—not easily operated on |iy

may be given at first with advantage, ami even repeated
in two hours—if It—the pulse—has not been softened.
thus showing th medicine has taken effect. .
Bathing the surface with water lit an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, viuegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief and aid
the uicdictne much in taking effect.
Congrstlve Fever.
Give two teaspeonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as tlie fever subside!. As
tlie bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should lie lost to get them open; give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas f injections) may also he
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may lie added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required: still
comparatively little, as they frequently run woeksunder
the common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced —which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—witii
• teaspoonful of “Fluid’’ every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
HIM in lix or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
Tn bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine.
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) nr some tonic and stimu
lant (sue auxiliaries) should lie added to each dose. ‘J lie
bowels should ho kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should lie given occasionally, even
though the bowel* should he very loose, the patient
should lie sustained by nourishing and muciiagenous
drinks—such as aro in common use in such cases.—
Where the. skin is very dry, tqionging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(jive a t •anpoouful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or
half the quantity may he given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The honeset ten should be given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to bn applied over tlie scat of pain; keep tlie
bowels gently open.
Vurioln, Vurltolotol, Riitoeoln and Scarlu
lino; ur Small Ihn, Viirinloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
dilh rs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn tiio “name,” whether it is one or tlie
other, or neither, us they all commence with fever, but
treat it at, once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble ; there will b a but little eruption, even in small
pox. T'liis, to most minds, Is a licw idea, anil doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated its
1 direct, will-bc cut short; attended witii but little eruje
tlon; 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, hut ail that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
i’rof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“Von may 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 tiiat occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
(Jive a teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency
of the case, with a dose of suits or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours H necessary, until the l'eversub
sidos—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
fait It should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the
surface bathed, as thought, advisable.
In one case, on the ship Ductlessd’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop hy 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 take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best yaryle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Cliijdbcil Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tlie
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, us the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as tho fever continues, ns in other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
In connection witii this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the Indies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its [tains
anil difficulties; it must lie 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 oiio of the most convenient and
effectual remedies formally of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as tlie circulatory.
It will not force .sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the 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, i give under this head general
directions fur all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho
name it may beer ought to he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he 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 soliuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection witii 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, 1 call ail else auxiliary treatment.
If tlie bowels are costive, given 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 diarrhoea, 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 in cold water, to tlie 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 the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, witii great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surfuce with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar ami water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking oiled, after which there will be no trou
ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlie patient has become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he
allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach
to do any good: for this purpose 1 generally give some
geutle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid “ and a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“ Fluid” at tlie same time as directed, and success w ill
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics. Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
w hen using the Fluid, and to he fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine l have referred to, viz :
t'ntlinrtles.—Articles that purge or operate on the
laiwels. such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many pills, nntiliilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
lleputles.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation mid secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools*
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopliylltn—flic 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, roots and hitter herbs. Bono
sei or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astrlll)[!‘iiU.-Siich as check the action of the
bowels, laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
Mlinulnnts, —Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best:
ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Ac., tlie essences are nil more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others ure generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known In the materia metiica.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will*
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
PnckctKltiji Duchess D'Orlemts.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
Wo took passage on the paeketship Duchess d’Orleatis
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’
and bound for Now York. She sailed on the 9th of Aui
gust, ISSI, w ith over a hundred souls on braird, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician iu charge. Dr. X. W.’ Scat, w ith
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty eases of small pox, some fever.
Ao.. and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during sold passage, wo are fully
convinced tlint the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled w ith
so much case, 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.

New Principle ! New Remedy! No Poison!
Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure;
Oil Antidote to Malaria;
FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE
01 Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and
other Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of
Hilious Fevers, accompanied hy Typhoid Symp
tom) ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship
and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night
Sweats, and all other forms of disease
WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MZYL,n.ItIA OK MIASMA.
fI'HESE diseases are common to many localities ot tlie
J. United States; but wherever they prevail. North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring from tlie
same niiasinal cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as tlie
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
tliut is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
Hy the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or iu other words a sjiecific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal anti vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere,causing diseasetoall who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before us, ottered to
the public,
Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, oven In the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, ami thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to bo entirely new, and uu
known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use :
It will instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will ho effected; the 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 relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent tlie accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other metis
dries. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
Hy its use Fever anil Ague may bo banished from
every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during tho sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since tlie introduction of the CURE in every part of
tho 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, tiiey seemed incredible to many, even of
tlie most candid minds, because all tlie resources of
science had been taxed iu 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, &c.
Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded
to the pour sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken witii 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,
Tho following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in tlie United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
New York, June 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, hut
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 R. 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 wliicli do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remqdy 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 tlie medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to tho diseases being produced by oue ani
tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, anil not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident iu
a Hilious 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 tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, tlie object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it mist he taken
or tlie operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate witii its expo
sure, tho miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
Tliis mode of exhibiting the 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 tlie
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the mime of the
medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tlie
signature of tho proprietor. Tlieso precautions arc
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 remediesfor Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillus, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers In
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are attlleted, to use oue that contains articles of

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and iu fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
w ill probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive [lowers in 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 lending
I‘hysicians ot New \ork eitv. Every Kittle is warranted
to give satisfaction or tlie money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant.’

ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
NO POISON. PROOFS 1
See wliat the President of the Pharmaceutical Society
ot Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria:
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAYING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. U. Chilton,
of New York city, in favor 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 tlie medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured hy it, and to whom 1 cun refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.

Presd’t of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri.
Had tlie Ague for Twelve Years !
Providence, June 29, 1355.
Having been informed of the illness of a poor, hut
worthy woman, who has not been ire e from Fever and
Ague a mouth at a time for the last twelve years, 1 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
hii’'e now elapsed, there is no reason todoubt the perma
nency of the cure.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent
an order to Ames & Holliday for another half gross of
your Fevorand Ague Cure. Ithassold like “Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I 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 tlie sixtli day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Mr. James A. Riiodes —Dear Sir —Tlie box of “Aguo
Cure” you sent us has all been sold and created a large
demand for more; to meet which we have ordered
from your geueral agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.
Its sale 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. 19,1555.
Mr. ,T. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your medicine has met
with the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I
have about five bottjes left. I give it to them at first,
‘if no cure no pay,’ although I was not authorized by
you to do so; but I took tile responsibility ou myself.—
Hilt not a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out
of the article I wish you would forward me one gross of
tho 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 cure,to 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, &c.,

21 Bottles Perform 31 Cures.
Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855.
Dr. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever
and Ague has tints 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, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the uenefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on tlie 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 Fever 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.

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and 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 w’orks like
a charm. Yours truly,
llev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Ptoysician.
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 lias 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. 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 into every town and village
in tlie United States, Canadas, &c. 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 Agueornot, just as they please.
I can also say tiiat a great many of my largest custo
mers are those who a year ngo 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 tiiat tlie letters
of which I publish su li 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 everattendeil any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie 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 tlie warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child in tlie United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to nil
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.
