The great variety o! symptoms arid forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but- as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield ton remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Ry the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, aud for every disease, or, cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All -Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, it the sumo hi character a )<1 edeoi; is a poi son flouting ill the atmosphere, causing disease to all \, ho breathe It. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tlie preparation before ns, offered to the putdic, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, who'll neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact witli it, even In the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful Influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims the fotloWhtg extraordinary results from its Use : it will instantly check tlie ague in persons win* have suffered tor any length ol lime, lrom one day to twenty years, auii by con tinning its use, uceordiug to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected; tlie patient contin uing free from tho complaint tor ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should male 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, the accession of General Debility and Sight Sw eats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and cimtiuuiw to improve until restored to perfect health. lty its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every ‘family mid class in the community; farmers, me chanics, ami all laboring people maybe using this arti cle us a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tlio most valuable part of tlie year. Since tlie introduction of tho OURK m every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all tlie resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, SaHfcine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous clfrcts are superadded to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague .sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may he taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously Well known that tlieir potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable ou account'd! Its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Wort liy of Public Ooufuicnce, Because ofits .Singular and Fntire Harinlessiirss, Tlie following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle : New York, Juno 11, 1850. “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, but have 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 i-i a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tlie human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing tlie taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one an! the sumo cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, ami so destroy tlie 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 untibilious 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 tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveuess, it must be takes or tlie operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only taut ion. —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, i aud place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tho air wafted across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degieo commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlio words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tlie 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 be considered sufficient.

IJAVINQ noticed the ceiniiicale ul chemical analysis J.l given by tlie celebrated chemist Dr. .). R. Chilton, of New York cily, iu saver of Rhodes’ Fever uml Ague Curo, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mer curpifior Strychnine, aud having received numerous iq>- plicatidfis for it. I was induced to ‘send to Dr. Rhodes for (lie medicine. Since then 1 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. I am, therefore, satisfied in recommending it to is- ail that tho proprietor represents. EDWARD S. WHEATON, I’resd’t of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri.

I had, one ruse of Chill Fever Where it run four days, but tnemdncamo totee me on tlio sixtli day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P.

Rhodes —Having been entirely cured by your remedy. 1 take pleasure in assuring you of tlie 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 l adopted, my health grew worse until I commenced tlie use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in tlio enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur m idiclne the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREW’S. I. O. O.~Fi — To 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 tlie benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Shnrpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that lie sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it Ims effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, aud we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of tlie public. —Odd Fellow, Jioonsbr/ro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Bept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the ramily of a clergyman here Ims 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 works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Montickllo, link, Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir —I have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it hi a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, W\ G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. It. R.. Ga., Jau. 1, ISSG. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called tvho has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all 1 can in its sale. ‘ \Y. 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 info every town and village in tlie United States, Canadas. Ac. Tlie eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with oil to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. 1 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 he noticed that the 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 the fact of a greater suc coss and sale than ever at tended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its tree use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in 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 tlio Cure is a perfect antidote. it is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects us a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened liy Ague or Bilions diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind oi intemperance or dissipation.
