NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by 3J. W. Seat, M. D.
Reason* why it should bo used instead of any other treat
ment in all K brlle affection*:
Ikii—Ki onom)’ or Time.—As only onr-strenth
id the ordinary time Is required to effort ft curs.
id Ki oiioiiij’ of Money. —Ah It cn bu ouo
dollar.
3rd.- Krouomy of Feeling.—A* it saves Uio
suffering “fa long sicknc** sod chn consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating dose* of
medicine, their disagreeable o|ierution, iind'the pain of
long roiifinemeni: lint Utile of the fluid being Dceessiiry,
and that pleasant in its effects.
Jthi Kconom)’ of Thought.—A* when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
listing, respecting febrile affection*; particularly while
a dear friend is alclt.
JtU.- Kronomy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, and coasoqaontly racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
11l ll.—Kronomy of l.lfe.—As the cure isuffected
iiefore and without reducing tlio jiutieut, consequently
i emoving, in n corresponding degree, nil danger of a fatal
ruruiluatjon.
Otuer reasons might lie added, but these tiro deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasonß lire mole particularly applicable to
ihe immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to canes which have beoli subject
ed to or have become reduced, coriospunding of course
*i, the nature of the case at tho time it. iu first adminis
i ereil.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary casus. when used soon lifter
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
won not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
-a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of •niisequence —it would have passed oil’ w ith
out any thing—that medicine bail no effect The general
impression on the subject of fever is aucli, that thoughts
not unlike the übovc follow the cure of a common case
as naturally ns men think at all; and it is not until
the individual hai* witnessed many coses flint he can fully
realize the truth; and even then ho may conclude them
all very t itllng cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
lieeu thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
< Xpert that them wil eases occur Win re there is some
organic or .oral cause so great ns to require particular
attention, or though huccchs id in reducing the fever,
it will again rise us the lulluence of the “Fluid” passes
off', as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment lu sum enses that I lime given
and frequently refer to what I have cnllisl n “synopsis.”
Hr murk* on F|vtrs lu General*
On this subject 1 wish to lie fully understood. By the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affection* to
which the human frame is subject, Including small pox
and Other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
nud iiubf.H, 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
istic*—that o undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems —Inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To snow that I am not w holly alone in the opinion 1
advance, I quote fl’ein tho celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of KiDg’s College, liondon, whoso work on the “ Prinei
pleg and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard'authority.
On p .go 8.'14, he say* :— “We hear continually, lMit.li in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the puhde, Typhus Fever, lhaln Fever,
Itilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Bow Fuver, Nervous Fever,
,4c. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Gnstro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to Hh name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of thorn, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and l would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you self about a “ name;” if you have
favor, treat it at onee as hereafter directed, and you
<oill be melt, .ustcad of any distinotuharaeter being devel
oped, so as to bo properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, lint, on experience at tho bed
side of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and other*) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, season* and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name., anil rest
assured you will soon 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 somo other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as iiossible the proper course to lie pursued in
all of tho most prominent fevers, though the •■ Rules”
aud “ Synopsis” will Ihi amply Bnfhcient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tlie sick.
Knits important to be observed in all cases in mint) the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own

fluence.
3d. It must be continued whenever the lover subsides.

begins to rise again, should such bo the case under any
circutustauee*.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
lm left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; slioulu
not be questioned as to their wants or feelings, no:
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatevei
till thalr otot) natural feelings, independent of all extra
noons influences, induce them to rise or speak; not
liould any conversation be allowed in their hearing, It,
which they may feel more or less interested, but bo left
qule to all Intents and purposes.
hth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it a
plentifully, and ns tongas the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, eithei
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
fltb. Should patients experience liny oppression 01
faintness white in the lying posture, so its to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a littli
wluo, teddy, camphor, hartshorn,’ lemonade with a littli
plrit, ginger, or some other stimulant ; or I tie face and
breast may bo bathed in eold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

There is no particular care necessary in giving it to

As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, tho pulse
-mall and w iry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical nse in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, when
tully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, a* they frequently run weoks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few davs
will b necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.

though tbi‘ bowels should be very loose. Tho patient

The iioneset tea should Ito given warm till the violent

Variola, Vn rioloid, Itut>elu und Scarla
tina.; or.small Pun, Varluloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As nil of these diseases are attended with lever, which
ill fart is tlie nurnt prominent symptom, the treatment
differs lute little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait folourii the “name,” whether it is one or tho
other, or neither, ns they all commence t vith feotr, hut
treat it l once; govern the lever and there will he no
trouble; there will be t/ift little eruption even in small
pox. Thin, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will he regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
IwildJy make the assertion, that small pox. if treated its
I direct, will he cut sin’ll; attended with hilt little erup
tion! little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. (In this I will stake
not only my reputation, but a.l that I hold most door;
besides, on this subject. I have good authority; that of
Prof, Wat-on, previously quoted. lie says, page 874:
“Von may abate the force of the eruptive fever, anil
keep down, it ix believed, the number oj the pustules by
spline purges. Ac.” Here is the admission that it muy
he dono. I nave not only proven it muy he, but has
been dono in numerous eases that occurred on board
ship, S e the account appended.
Give a teiuqioonful or more, according to the urgency
of tie- ease, with it dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once iu two hours it necessary, until the lever sub
sides—though one or two dose.-, is genera ly sufficient;
but it Should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. M hen the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may he used, arid the
surface Outlied, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tho ship Duchessi turban*. the tongue
and iituctiH were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by dhop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given in teuApootiful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Thu 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 wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
bcstef/argU in uli mich eases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to widen 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
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as tho saver continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remark*, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain anil suffering. It
is to inform them of tho happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.—
Fain fill menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring, Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora eiMd taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known, its effect is uniform,
relaxing Ihe whole system, removing all excitability
and irftability of the nervous as well as the Circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth an J
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, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho
name it may be or ought to be called, it should ho 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 should
bo appropriate means, and these soliuid he 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 bo 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 tlie lirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate iu due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that eomplaiut, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“Fluid” will soon relieve tliat condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in tho 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, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief amt aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will lie no trou
ble ; if tlie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted. give tonic* and stimulants, particolnrly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated: also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duel*l; if thorn is nausea and vomiting, that must be
illayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach
to do any go,111; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water.it
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
itomuch has settled, give tlie “ Fluid” aud a cathartic it
necessary; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
•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 the ease
with w hich 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 particutei
about what is used, i have found no sueli necessity
when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by
all, I w ill name a lew of the different articles of modi
cine 1 have referred to, viz.:—
Cat Hurtles.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
11 rput ir je—Anything know 11 to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
tor this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu
ttnonce. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tho third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and lie suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various borks. roots and hitter herbs. Hone
set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Buoh 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.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tho
sy stem. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry In treating fevers, tlnmgli many other* ore genetallv
used, lint the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic, 1 ’ “anodyne,” ••diuretic.” “relaxant” and
•• sedative than known in tho materia medico.
1 shall not tax tho reader w itli a long list of proofs
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to ouo iustanco of success, that on the

and bound tor New York. Bhe sailed on the 9th of An

WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MJNXjgkIiXA. OIL MldV-SMA.
fl Ml i> I, diseases are common to many localities of tho
J. United .states; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, Hast or Went, they all equally spring from the
some luiasmul cause. The great variety of symptoms und
forms of di-ease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution aud habit* of the sufferers; but as the
cause is tie- 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 lias its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent. or in other words u specific remedy. All Malaria,
w hether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal ami vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lauds, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe ij. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
jMjsitcs, there is in the preparation before us, offered to
the public, *
Tire Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which iisutializ.es the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it. even ill tlie open air, anil when taken inter
nally completely purities tlie system affected by it of it*
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health. s
Tlie remedy is believed to bo entirely now, aud un
know ii to any Imt the proprietor, who distinctly claim*
tlie 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 by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will be effected; tlie patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever: unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should mak“ its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
fotls or agifo diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow tho administration of other mode
elms. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
{terfeot health.
By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people nmy lie using this arti
cle as a
Prevent i ve,
And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since tlie introduction of tin- CURE in every part of
tlie United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as to linve fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
\\ lien these declarations were made, at tile date of its
introduce on, they seemed Incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all tho resources of
science had been taxed ill 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 ns Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, anil when such remedies fail, or give ouly
temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire shperadded
to the poor sufferer’s lirst complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tho makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Harmlessness,
Thu i olio wing certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is .attached to evciy 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, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have Ifound
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES It. CHI ETON, M. I)., 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 the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entiro absenco 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 he taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of tills preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take tho 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 Bilious climate uow accompany each bottle.
It will often be found neecssary 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, the object of which is to c,cans tho stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
ibis is necessary, or there is cofitiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of the antidote will l>e seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour
tho contents of one or more bottles of the Cure iuto
shallow vessels, (diuing plates, and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also tho air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it. after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
and estroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its exp -
sure, tho miasmata or poison contained in the apartment,
rids mode of exhibiting the Curo should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) nml the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely urox its
actual MERITS, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

Wootlmun’s Cherry Expectorant,
the medicine that has created such an excitement at tlie
North among tlie Physicians, and lias been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to nuy
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains tlie active medical qualities of tho Yellow Jesmuine,
tlie pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable Ingredients that render it far bettor than anv
other Cough Medicine in this country.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Orleans. April 9. 1855.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsiparilhis. Pills. Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through tlie newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this noto
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to nse one that contains articles of
Real Use in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious tliat ia
so doing. Imu acting most unprofesstunully, and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Bcienoe ami the regular
Practitioner* of Mediciue, 1 refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tion* used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland. M. D.
Gallatin, Miss.. May 1. 1865.
O. O. Woodman—Dear Sir: l have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased* with its ef
fects: better thau any other article I ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send nte half a ikizen hot
ties by the bearer. Respectfully.
W. M. Mason. M. D.
This preparation has attained a wide relrbritv from
tlie universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and iu foot, any pulmonary complaint*,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties it's a dissolv* at
and Its soothing power to nil irritations of tho throat,
will probably he preferred to any other offered to tlie
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping tlie digestive powers In proper tone.
Remember tliat this is tlie only Cough Medicine that
has stood tlie test 01 tlie medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of. ami recommended by the lendimr
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to givo the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherrv Pectoral. Cod Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant.’

of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer

by your remedy, I take pleasure iu assuring you of

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. R hodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of y our Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman hero has been taking an
“AUL’E 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 tar it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rooms—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and cau con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect sticcest. Respectfully yours,
’ W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11,C. R. R.,Ga.. Jau. 1, 1850.
■%’our Agiu 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 1 ttle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rti] dly as possible iu o every town and village
in the Unit* I States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocene.-. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever mi l Ague or not, just as they please.
1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers are tin e who a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cu eon commission. They thought its great
claims and pi tensions could not he realised. Now they
endorse then 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
fillany new -paper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
‘l'lie Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its ire ■ use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during tlio warm and sickly sea
sons, not an an woman or child in the United States
would over lave a single attack of Fever aud Ague,
Bilious or 1 1 How Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also u lequalled for quick aud permanent effects
ns a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shuttered or weakened by
Ague or Bill us diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or an; kind of intemperance or dissipation.
