NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared fcy N. W. Heal, M. n. Reasons why it should lie used instead of May other treat ment in All Febrile affect ion a : I at.—Kroiiuiiiy of Time .—Ah only one-sere nth <>l the ordinary time i required to effect a cure. HdeKconomy of Money .—Ah it costs but one dollar. 3rd.—Economy of FeellnK.--As it saves the suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating dose* of medicine, their disagreeable operation, ami the pain of long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, ami that pleiuumt In its effects. *th.— Economy of TliourlU. —Ah when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety ut present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. sth.— Kronoiny of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed liy chronic disease. lllh.— Kronoiny of Life. —As the cure iseiheted before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, iti a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might be added, hut these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes ami persons in all condi tion* of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut will appl> with equal force to cases which have been Subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course *,o the nature of the ease at file time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and penna nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had liocffoct.” The gem ml impression on the subject of fever is sueli, that thoughts uot unlike llic above follow tile pure of a common case as naturally as men think at ail; and it i not until the Individual lilts witnessed many cases that lie can lolly realise the truth; and even then he limy coneliido them all very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been tints successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great os to require particular attention, or though tmrcesslul in reducing the fever, it will again rlso at the iniluuuce of the “Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in sueti cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.” Rcmarkson Fevers in General* On this subject I wish to lie fully understood, liy the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including hiiiiill pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in tlieir development and exhibit it variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that of undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, aensn of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show tlull. I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from the Celehrafed I’rof. T. Watson, of King's College, Loudon, whose work on the “ lYinri ples and Practice of Physic” Is ft text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently stundarilmithnrity. fin page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, belli in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, tiastro-Fateric, ami so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, i am persuaded thftt tiro effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It eucouragos u 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 cau lie relied oil. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to tire same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the folly of limiting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any dlstinctcharoeter being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself ami others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, aud treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured yon will sism be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as 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 he pursued ill all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies” and “Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Rules important to be observed in all cases in. using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. it should be given in throe 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 lie free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must b” continued whenever tho lover subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any circumstances. 4tli. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exorcise whatever, till tlieir own natural feelings, independent of all extru ueous 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 nil intents and purposes. fitli. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as tho 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. Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or fain!ness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness niter tile fever has 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 aud breast may bo bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES, For children of one year or under, from 3 to S drops. “ over l and under 2 years, •• sto lii *< “ “ 2 “ fi “ “ 12 to 30 “ “ & *“ It* “ “ 20 to 60 “ “ 3 “ I*> half to a tenspoonful. All persous over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in (lie prime of life; nor females, us a general rule, as much as males. Thera is no particular care necessary in giving it. to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken 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. By observing'he above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in nil of its effects, the expectations of tlie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being tints particular is, that the lull benefit of the medicine may be obtained, mul uot un account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances, Bilious or Hrintt tent Fever, Give a tuMtionful of Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu two hours, till the lever is evidently passing . tt; this constitutes the whole treatment in till simple cases of 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 be attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any ease the h M els are particularly constipated or oonttned, give a . it hurtle (see auxiliaries) with the hist portion ; they lima be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fewer is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to tlie influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally —a double dose, or two tcaqioopsfu! may be given ut first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—ls it—tho pulse—has uot been sul'tennU, thus allowing th medicine lias taken effect. Iluthing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, In these difficult eases, will afford relief mid aid the mcdleine much in taking effect. Congeatix-e Fever. Uive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till tlie pulse becomes more full aud soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as tho fever subside!. As the bowel* are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease uo time sliouid be lost to get them open, givo some active eatkartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may fie neces sary till it operates: enemas (injections) may also bo used to advantage: also, mustard to tlie extremities or Iriction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also. , old applications to the head. Quiniuc may be added to tho ” 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—ut least so far ns ray treatment is concerned. In these k> ,v fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will \x> required; still comparatively little, ns they frequently run weeks under the oomnon treatment, while with this lmt a few d.tvs will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be comaienced —which may immediately follow any other without detriment— with a teaspoon ful of “ Fluid'’ every two hours, till the pulse bsopOMs fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued •RM ill sU or eight hours till tho fever entirely subsides. In bud case#, from iUom* to live grains each of gtuuiiw. and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) sliouid be added to each dose. ‘1 lie bowels should lie kept gently open, and small iiortions of sumo hepa/.xc should bo given occasionally, even though tlie bowels should be very loose. The patient should bo sustained by nourishing and mucllageuous drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.— Where tho skin is very dry, sjiongiiig the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should boosed during convalescence, in all cases which havo become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Litng or Winter Fever. Give i teuspoonful of the “Fluid” every Iwu hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or half tin quantity may bo given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boueset tea sliouid lie given warm till tlie violent symptoms arc allayed, or the patient is relieved : then cold; I,,mentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over the scat of pain; keep tlie bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Kuheoln and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these din Vases arc attended with fever, which in fact is tlie must prominent symptom, the treatment (Idlei s hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “ name,” whether it is one or tlie other, or w ither, as tiiey nil continence with fewer, but treat il ut once; govern the fever and there will lie no trouble; there will b vl/uilittle eruption even in small pox. Tills, to most minds, is anew idea, aud doubtless will be regarded w ith ridicule by many. 1 nevera heir >s boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will, be cut short ; attended witii hut little erup tion; little or no pitting, anil that there issio necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, lmt all that 1 hold most dear; besides, on tills subject, 1 have good authority; thal of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874; “You may abate the force of the erupkive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number oj the, pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. J nave not only proven it mug be, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board eh ip. bee the account appended. Give a leiispooiilul or more, according to tlie urgency of tlie case, with a done of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tlie fever sub sides—though one or two doses is gemcu,ly sufficient; but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the levßr under control. Wltl'ii the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and tlie surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one ease, oil the ship Duchess ({’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen timt the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tho Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till be could swallow, when it was given iu teaspoonful (loses meg hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlie throat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by tlio Fluid alone. — Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever, Tin's heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to tlie Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoon fill, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re peated as long as tlie fever continues, us in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, I from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pniu uml suffering. It is to inform them of tho happy effect of tlie Fluid in many of their, trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once l>y a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by ilsuse; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient and effectual remedies for many of die ills of females, if not tlie most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous us well as tlio circulatory, it will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli 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 the treat ment as much as possible, 1 givo under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue anil control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlio name it. may be or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be 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 sliouid be appropriate means, and these soliuld bo 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 tlio fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, givo a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in duo time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, givo 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, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, pei imps, cloths wet in cold water, to tlio part; if violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or sorno cooling application, and batlio tlio foot iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry uml hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine ip taking effect, 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 tlio patient, tins become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting) that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do nwy good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give tho “Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as y on would under any other circumstances, giving tlio “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at tho ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may fed at a loss to know wlmt is meant liy cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using tho Fluid, and to lie fully understood by all, l will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cat hart ics.— Articles that purge or operate on tho bowels, such us castor oil. salts, senna, any of Gie roots of barks, ami many pills, luitibilious, Ac.: nnvthiiig known to lie good for such purposes. Hejmttes.—Anything known to act on tlie liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tlio articles depended on by the different schools lor this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tho “Fluid* or while tho system is under its in tliiimce. •And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; cacli may take his choice and be suc cessful.

I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on the results of a trial, mid will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Pnrkitsliip Ductless D'Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: \\Y, the undersigned, certify to the'following, viz— We took passage on the packrtsliip Duchess d'Orleuns I’apt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’ and bound for New York. She sailed on the uth or Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A tew days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated by tlie physician in charge, l)r. N.

OH MIASMA. fI'JIKSE diseases are common to many localities of tlio X United .States; lmt wherever they prevail, North, South, Kind or \\ cst, they all equally spring from tho same miusmal cause. Tho great variety ol symptoms and forms of ui.-toaso is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits ol the sufferers; but as tlio cause is the same, they will ail equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By tlio laws of Nature, every principle bus its opposite, mul 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 lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tlio preparation before us. offered to the public, Tkc Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it conics in con tact with it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies tlio system affected by itxif its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from its use: It w ill instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should inak- its use again necessary. iu its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlio disease is cured, il will entirely prevent, the accession of Gcnerul Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode l ines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. liy its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue tlieir respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tlio sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the Y eat. Hiuce the introduction ot the CURE in every part of tlie United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to havo fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at tlio date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the ni4*t candid minds, because all ibo resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague jmffercrs, all tlieir remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicinc, -Sc. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue-, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, tlieir poisonous effects 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 lie taken witii perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that tlieir potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, us 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 Kill ire Harmlessness, Tho following certificate from one of Hie most celebrated chemists in tlie United States lias beeu obtained, and a copy of iHs attached to every bottle: Niav York, Juno 11, 1855. “1 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 u particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES K. 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, 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 tlie one under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, sliouid protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not Avait for tire poison already lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tlie Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a liilions climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tin- object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where tliis is necessary, or there is costivencss, it must re taken or tlie operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Duly Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour tlie contents of one or more bottles of tlio Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in peeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to mat nrions situation s. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlio words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure - ’ blown iu the glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is the name of tlio medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success, is entirely ui-on its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient. Prepared ami sold bv tlie proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, li. I. For sale in Columbus by KIVIJN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1556. ly Druggists.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have jlist sent an order to Ames ,t ilulliday for another lialf gross of your Fever and Ague Cure, it has sold like “ Hot Oakes,” 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, 1 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 wliore it run four days, but Ibo man came to see me ou the sixtli day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perforin 24 Cures.

Rhodes —Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you. of the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of the different remedies :qpt treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until 1 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. YVishing yjurmidicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREW'S. I. O. O.

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 abottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticei.l, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. -1. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been iu the practice of Medicine hero for about tlireo 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. K., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Curo 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. ’ ’\\ r . A.IIAYLES. if any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as_ rapidly as possible into every tow n and village in tlie 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 tho 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 tlie 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 tlio letters ol which I publish mi h immense quantities arc 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 ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie CrowniugGlory of tiie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allow* its free use us a preventive. Thus protected liy using a bottle or two during the warm aud sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlio atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie Cure is a perfect antidote. itis also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all “hose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind ol intemperance or dissipation, JAMES.
