I st—Economy of Time. A* only Oia-seventh
of the ordinary time is required to effect n cure.
Sd.— Economy of Money. —As il r sis but one
dollar.
3rd.— Ke.onoiny of Keeling —As it saves the
sutlering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement. hut little of the fluid being necessary,
aud that pleasant in its effects.
4th. Keonomy of Though!. \- when
known, it will remove all dreud and anxiety’ at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend Is sick.
yth.— Keonomy of Health. --As the system
it not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
Oth.— Keonomy of I.lfe. —As the cure iselfectej
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, bill these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attiuik, lull will
apply with equal force to cases which have been ■ object
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding ol courso
to the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, ill all ordinary oases, when used sunn after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they bud
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tic y
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm —It could liuvc been
nothing of consequence—il would have passed oil w ith
out anything—that medicine had uoellect.” The general
impression on the subject id’ fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common cast
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully
realize the truth; and even then lie may conclude them
all very tifiling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of fuses, must
•xpuct that there will cases occur where there Is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success id in reducing the fever,
It will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard
against disappointment in sucu cases that. 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have culled a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General-
On this subject l wish to he fully understood. Ily the
term “fevers,” I 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 cause!, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development anil exhibit it variety of forms or typos;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
norvous systems—lnducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of bent, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in tin- opinion i
advance, I quote from the celebrated I’rof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, Condon, whose work on the “ I’rlnci
pies aud Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, und consequently standard authority.
On page 834, he 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, Putrid Fever, Cow Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are lo the full as particular:
Mucous fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-JSnteric, aud
SO forth. N'ow, admitting that fever shows Itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bait and hurtful. It
eucourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
lino of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can bo relied on. They ran insensibly into each
other, oven the un-st dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the sume cause.”
The above is u great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the fully of hunting
up or troubling you self about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well iisteiul of any distinct character being devel
oped, sous to be properly mimed by the most scientific.
This assertion is uu hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but 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 aud climates. Boar this m mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, aud rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
Ing and dangerous fevers. But os cases may have be
come developed bol'ore the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the -• Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for nil those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Hides important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Klectric Fluid.
Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
•3d. Patients must tie free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in the
tick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must be continued whenever tho fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off ; to be resumed when i(
begins to rise again, should such be the ease under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be loft perfectly quiet; free from all excitement: should
not bo questioned as to tlieir wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their ottm natural feelings, Independent of all extra
neous influences, ituluce them lo 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 ami purposes.
6tli. 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, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
tith. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lias passed off, 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 the face and
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give Immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.

“ “f> “ 10 “ - 20 to 50 “
In half to a tsasponuful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for w hom
a teuapoonfUl is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
uor females, as n general rule, ns much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giviug il to
children—those of ten years of age frequently having
takeu full doses; but 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.
Bv observing the above directions, the medicine will
lie found agreeable iu all of its effects, the expectation*
of the most sanguine realized, ami uiauy perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may is- obtained, ami
not oa aocouat of any actual nteessitg of such strict ob
servances.
Billons or Remittent Fever.
Give a teaaponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) „iiee in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple eases „|
fever, with such observances as are set forth in the
“Rules.” But should there bo prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should In
attended to at once, and while giving llu- “Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If ill any ease the I wels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a , ulliartic (see auxiliaries) w ith the
first portion ; they must bo opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to tho influence of medicine—not easily operated on lo
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teuspoonsful
may be given at first w ith advantage, and even repeated
in two houre—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing tie- medic-ill- lias taken effect.
Bathing the snrfaee with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits amt
water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief and aid
the mediciue much in taking effect.
Congeattve Fever.
Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
•pooafitl, to be discontinued as the lover subside-.. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate a this disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may bo neces
sary till it operates: enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel: also. c ’oM
applications to the head. Quinine nm.v be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship aud Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly In decree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
•mall 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 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 commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment— with
a teaspoon fill of ‘‘Fluid” every two hours, till the puls,
tscopi) fuller or laiger in volume, then to he continued
IBM in tin or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
In bail cases, from three to live grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) oi some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) alintild tie added to each itosc. The
laiweis should be 10-pt gently i pen, anil small portions
of some tujedic should lie given occasionally, even
though the bowels should liO very lisise. The patient
should Is- sustained by nourishing and luucilagenous
drinks -.nidi in are in common use in such cases.
Whei i, tho skin is very dry. sponging the surface as ill
reeled in bilious fever, will Is: found advantageous.
Tonics should lie used during convalescence, in all eases
which have In-coiiie reduced.
Pnruiuoula, Typhoid Pnt-umonla, Luiig
or Winter Fever,
(jive a leasjKsinfnl of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of lioneset; or
half tin- quantity may lie given every lionr till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The bom set tea slwiuld lie given warm till the violent
symptom* are allayed, or tin- patient is relieved; then
■•old; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to b* applied over the sent of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varloloitl, Ruheolu ul Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
anil Scarlet, Fever.
As oil of these diseases are iittfiidod with fever, which
ill bu t is the must pnuuim-nt symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Kemember
never wail to learn the “nano,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, Imt
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will In- no
trouble; there will lie bill little eruption even iu small
pox. This, hi most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will lie regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, ‘will be cut short ; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its ii.lining its ordinary course. On Ibis J will stake
not only my reputation, b"t ail that I hold most dear ;
besides, mi I his subject, 1 have good authority; that of
I’rof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, ami
keep down, it is believed, the nuwberjif the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission Unit it. may
be done. I nave not only proven it may he., imt has
been done in numerous eases that occuv'-d on hoard
ship, bee tile account appended.
Give a ti-aspooiilul or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient;
but il should Is: given anil repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When tin: throat Is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
in one case, on the ship Duchessd'Orleaus, the tongue
and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could
imt swallow or speak, und 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 take nuur
ishimmt. in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best garg/e in all such cases.
Puerperal or C 111 Id lied Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoon In I. almost 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 ns the f-vc-r continues, as in other eases.
The bowels of course should lie attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making n few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering, it
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid iu
many of tlieir trials. In cliild-birtli, its relaxing arid
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.—
I’aiuful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient 1 and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and irilability 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.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tho treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought lo he called, it should be ghen
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
wlicn such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
W licn such indications occur in any case, they should
bo appropriate means, and those soliuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act.
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the *,Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first, dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended
“ ith diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though If caused by irritability, tho
“ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or iiitlamumtioii, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of l-ittef herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent puiu in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe
the lci-t iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry mill hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tip:
whole surface with water lit an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief und aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there w ill be no trou
ble ; if tJn- 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 the patient has become re
duced if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do nay good: for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if
giveq plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the •• Fluid - ’ and it cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
•• Fluid” at the same time ns directed, mul success will
crew ii your efforts; indeed, yen can net realize it till you
have seen, aud then you will be astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a less to knew what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about w hat is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all. i will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
I'at liar tics. —Articles that purge or operate on the
bow els, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anythin-’
known to be good forsuch purposes.
llepntics.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any id lin'articles depended on by the different school?
tor this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with lhe -'Fluid or while tile system is under its in
tluence. Aud one may choose calomel—another blue

used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
Stimulants. Articles that raise or excite the

‘WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
AXA.Xj-A.Xt.XyA. Oil MI. LSMA.
‘l'llKaK diseases are common to many localities of the
I United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring from the
same uiiasmul cause. The great variety of symptoms aud
forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age,
sex, cfmstilution and habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from .Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition ol animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect: is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing tin-unerring affinity subsisting between op
jsisites, llicre is in the preparation before us, offered to
the public, .
Tile Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it. even in tin- open air, mid when taken inter
nally com plutely purities the system affected by it of its
l>uii<-lill influence, and thus restores und preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, aud un
known lo any but tin- proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
Il will instantly cheek the ague in persons who lime
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by containing its use, according to the direc
tions. a radical cure will he 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 the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility aiul Mght Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
cinrs. Thu patient at once begins to rei ver appetite
and strength, and continuesto improve ini.il restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever und Ague may be- banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, ami all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations ill 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 flic- CURE in every part of
Hie United States, its success has 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 caudid minds, because all ihe 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. liavo been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salieine, 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 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 be taken with perfect safety, oven 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 Eniire M;> s in Itssncss,
The idlowing certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists ]n the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle :
New York, Jure 11, 1865.
“1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have teßted
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine ami Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D„ Chemist.”
It i a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, bnt to do an equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No clans 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 mi l
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Tako 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 it 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 tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, tile object of which is to cleanse tho stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must iie taken
or the operation of the antidote will he 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 the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bo( ties iu which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aocb Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) aud the
signature of tho proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
Ttie reliance for its success is entirely upon its
ACTUAL MERITS, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

Hear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ilie
thousands ol remedies I'or Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills. Plasters. Liniments. kc„ that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
tor publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
h'ral lsr in t'lilnuman/ Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessionally, and derogn
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Kxpyetorant. which is a scientific remedy ■ that 1 have
used with more success than any of 1 its- usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —l have just sent
an order to Ames A Holliday for another halt gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure. It has sold like •• Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles ou hand. One reason it
has sold, is because w hen I have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle aud teld them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, amt they were all satisfied. 1 had one case

Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. Iff, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your medicine has 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 I was not authorized by
you to do so; but I took the responsibility on myself.—
But fiot a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out
of the article r. wish you would forward me one gross of
the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will be
punctual in payment. 1 inclose fifteen dollars ou the
medicine 1 have received, for which please send me a

never has been as much Chills and Fever since I lived in

failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent

Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the cenetit it has been to me. 1 was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
mouths since, and in spite of the different remedies
and treatment 1 adopted, my health grew xvorse 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,

In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an
advertisement for “Rhodes’ F’ever 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 lie sold several dozen bottles, and in
every case it has effected a cure. This proves themedi
cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the :am ily 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 ol’
the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it xvorks like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
ot Medicine here tor about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend yotir 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, 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 a.s rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
1 can also say that u great many of mv largest custo
mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters
of which i publish su h immense quantities are always
new and late dates —altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child in the United States
would ever have a single at'nck 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 pt rfevt 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.
