NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prrpnrt-d by N. W. Heat, M. D. KvtMoUH why it should be lined instead of any othor treat* went in all Febrile affections : Ist.—Economy of Time.—As only onetamth ul Ilia ordinary time is required to effect a cure. :id.Knmnniy of Moneys—As it c mil but one dollar. ilrd.— Ki oi'oiiiy of Ftellng—Ai it saves the suffering of a long sickness and tho consequent treat ment ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its ei.cots. II j,, falconom> of Thought.—As when known, it will remi all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. 3tl. — aicouoiny of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently . uckod; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. Ilth. -Kcwnoiity of Life. -As the cure is effected before and without reducing .ho putiout, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might lie added, hut these are deemed mrtloicut to satisfy all classes ami persons ill all condi tions of life. The above reas- as are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the llrst attack, hut will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduoed, corresr ling of course •o ihe nature of the case ut the time it . fir'd adminis tered. A this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after tl.u attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling —u little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been not'.iing of consequence—it would have passed oil with out anything—that medicine had nooflect.” The general impression on tho subject Os fever is such, that thonghte not unlike the (above follow the cure of a common case as naturally 113 nieu think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully icalise the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very ti tiling cases, which would have readily yielded loan simple medicine, yet persons, though they nave been ...us successful in perhaps ouudreds of cases, must expert that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, 01 though sucCesslul in reducing (lie fever, il will again rise as the iullueiice of the “ Fluid” passes oil, as t..e exciting causu may stiU exist. It is to guard against disappointment 1 sueu cases that 1 have given and frequently ref r to what I have called a “ synopsis.” lieinarks on Fevers In General* On this subject I wish to he fully understood. Hy the term “fevers,” 1 commelieud all febrile affections to which tho human frame is subject, including small jmix and othm eruptive fevers; but as they ar l ■*, by it great variety of causes, mid in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and cxhinit a variety of forms or typeo; yet ail are distinguished hy tho same general character istics -that ol undue excitement in tho circulatory ami nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of lieut, dryne.s of the skin, debility, Ac. To show t! at i am no!. ..holly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from tho celehrafed l*rof. ‘l'. Watson, of King’s Coll“gu, laindon, whose \.'ork on the “ Princi pies and Province of Physic” is a text Isuik in many of our medical colleges, and consequently Jan ‘jnl authority. On pitge 834, lie suyi “Wo hear continual'. , lioth in and out of the profession, different apooies of fever spo ken of. Hy the public, Typhus Fever, ltraiu Fever, Hilioir Fever, Putrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the tulles particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Unstro-Finteric, and so forth. Now. admitting that fever shows itself under various fort’ \ 1 am persuaded that the effect upon tile mind of nil this sub-division, is bad anil hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. ‘There is no line of genuine distinction between continued feverH, that c; ho relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, anil are often traceable to tue same cause.” Tue above is a great fact, one worthy id remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of Hunting 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 Jistiuetcliaraeter being devel oped, ao its to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet spot illa tion'’ or visions of mind, but on exporiouco at the hud side of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (hy myself and others) under a ;reat variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, mid treat at ouce without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger ing and dangcous fevers, lint as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either hy neglect, or under some oilier treatment, 1 will desciibo as briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in all of she most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” w ill lie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick. Buies impu, unit to be observ'd in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid, Ist. It should be given a three or four times its own quantity of rater, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. l atients must lie free from all currents ol ai-, (though thi“'o should always be free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in tiuonce. 3d. It must be continued whenever tho fever subsides, or is evidently paH-'ng off ; to he resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any circumstances. 4th. M min tha fever begins to subsnlo, patients must tie left perfectly quiet; free from all 1 ‘lenient; should uot bo qi. !Stio..od s to tliolr wants or feelings, nor attemut to converse, road or take any exerci .o whatever, till tli ir own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, iiiduce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may fool move or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. bib. Fluids should be ailowod, wliilo giving it as plentifully, and us 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 ann as parties -my prefer or patients desire. Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tho lying posture, so as to occasion a r. iesanoss after the love, lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of i’ ‘ hey 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 imui. bate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common doss. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There Is no particular care necessary in giving it to children —those of ten years of age frequently having tukeu lull doses ; but for a little guide, 1 have given tho above tabic, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in ail of its effects, the expectations ot the moat sanguine 1 ili'/ed, and many perfectly astonished. My object In being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may he obtained, and uot on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Hiltons or Remittent Fever, Give a teaaponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tho fevur is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of lever, with such observances as are set forth in (lie •• Rules.” Hut should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.” See oynopsis. If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated or confined, give a .thartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portiou; they most booponed or tile fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse runuing 110 or upwards, ami the patient is uot particularly susceptible toil ‘lnfluence of medicine—not easily operated on l>v medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may be given at llrst with advantage, and even repeated iu two hours —if it—tho pulse—has not been softened , thu. lowing tlie medicine ha,, taken effect. limbing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the salino wash, vinegar or spirits aud water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief and aid tlie medicine much iu taking effect. Congest Ive Fevtr. Give two teaspoonsful „nd repeat every two hours till tho pulse becomes more full aud soft, tlieu only u ten spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very diftlc alt to get medicine to operate in this disease, 110 time should be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with tile Fluid” and repeat as-my be neces sary till it operates; enemas (iujoctions) m-y also In’ used to advantage: also, mustard to the extremities, or Iriction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel: also, cold applications to tl’*> head Quinine may be udued to the ” Fir'd” if thought advisable.

Vnrioln Varioloid, lliiheolu nltd ffcnrlii tlmv; or Smut I Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet. Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Rememliei never wait to learn the “ name,” whether it is one or tlie otlie., or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut treat it at once; govern tlie (ever and there will he no trouble; tin-re will lie but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, mid donut less will tie regarded with ridicule hy many. I nevertheless boldly make tin assertion, that small pux, if treated as 1 direct, will be cut short; attended with hut little erup tion ; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity ot its runuing its ordinury course. On tiiis J will stake not only my reputation, hut ail that I hold most deur; besides, on Iliissu'ject, J have good authority; that of I’ruf. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874; “ Yo.i may uhate tlie force of tho eruptive lever, am! keep down, it is believed, the number of the, pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may he hone. I have not only proven it may be, hut has been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. (live a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency 01 .110 case, with a dose of suits or castor oil; repeat tho Fluid one in two hours if necessury, until the fever sub sides —though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tlie ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought ndvisnlde. In one case, on the ship lb ,iess d’Urleaus, the tongue and fattens were so much swollen that tha patient could not swallow or Bpeak. and lie was cured by dropping tho Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in ulkiut twelve hours hy tlie Fluid alone. — Used to wet tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best gurgle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which thu mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid witli 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 tlie Fluid will arreßt it in a short time. It should he re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. Tlie bowels of course should bo attended to. 111 connection witli this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a fe'” 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 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 bo appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at ouce hy a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved liy its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of tlie ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of tlie nervous as well as tho circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally ami healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tiio treat ment as 111 licit us possible, 1 give under this head general directions for aU cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tho condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name, it may be or ought to ho called, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed iu order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate moans, and these sohuld he given while giving tlie “F’luid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time v, T 1 then be lost. As the‘, Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bowels ale costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie doso; if attended with diarrhea, give something kuowii to ho good for that eoi iut, though if caused by irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, anply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blisier, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tlie part; if violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe the feet ■ n hot .vatcr; if the fever is very high, skin dry I. ml not. with g* eat suffering, sponge or batho tlie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tho saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford g.eat relief and e-d*ho medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if tho patient lias been reduce ’ 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 Vie allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gsntlo emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose ; when the stomach has settled, give tile “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as y ou would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success w ill crown your efforts; indeed, you cauuot realize it till you have seen, and then you will lie us ton. ~ed nt the ease witli which you can control all febrile exciteme-t. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid. H.ul to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— A atlinrtics. Articles that purge or operate on tho bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tlie roots or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act outlie liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tlie articles depended on by tho different schools for this purpose, will answer when uaed in connection with tho “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tho third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake rout, ami so on; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonica.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. A triageuts.—Such ns check the uction of tho bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. SI tinulnnts.—Articles that raise or excita the system. Capsicum (Cayeuue pepper) is one ol the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are ail more or less stimulating. Those are the ui-'y classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better dia phoretic,*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” Ilian known iu the materia mediea. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly ou tlie results of a trial, and will’ only refer to one instance of success, that ou the Packetsltlp Duchess D’Orlenns. which cannot ho classed among ordinary certificates: Wo, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz We took passage on tlie packetship Duel d’Orlenn* Capt 11 ut* m, then lying in the port of Havre.

They were all treated hy the physician in charge, l)r. N. W.

From what we saw during said passage, we are fullv convinced that tho medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues.

OH MIASMA. tI'HKSK diseases are common to many localities of the United States; hilt wherever they prevail, North, Monti:, East or West, they all equally spring from tlie same miasmal cause. Tho great variety of symptoms aud forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age, sex, constitution aud habits of the sufferers; but as tlie cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Hy tin- 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 uiiiinul and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tlio same iu character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. in accordance with thoso unalterable laws governing tlio unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, I here Is in tlie preparation before us, offered to the public, Tiie .Ynl iiral Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies tlie system affected hy it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. Tlie remedy is believed to he entirely now, and un known to any hut the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use ; It will instantly cheek the ague iu 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 ho effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again iicces.se y. In its operation upon tlie poison in the system, it will immediately relieve al! the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and w hen the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Dtdillity niul Night Sweats, which so often follow tho administration of other iriede cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect 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 may bo using this arti cle as a Preventive, Ami pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since tho introduction of tlie CURE in overy part of tlie United States, its success lias been so complete aud 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 ol tlio most candid minds, because ull the resources of science had been taxed iu vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such us Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, aud when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to tiie 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, 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, hut that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Ilarmlessncss, The following certificate from one of the most colebrated chemists 511 tiie United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, hut have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work hy pioventing the talcing 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 the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one an J tlie 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. 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 Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often he found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general nso is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free tho biliary passages. Rememiior that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of tlie antidote will lie seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified rases, pour tlie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleep..ig rooms; for the vapor rising from tlie medicine, ami also tlio air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counter***-! aud destroy, to a J -g.ee commensurate with its expo sure, tiie luiasnata or poison contained in tlie apartment. This mode of o...ibitiug the Cure should likewise bo resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and 011 the outside wrapper is tue name of the medicine, (the 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 ts entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These wii. he considered sufficient.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, hut worthy woman, who has not been fre efrom Ftver and Ague a month at a time for tlie last twelve years, I sup plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure. Stic took in all four bottles whicli completely re stored her to health and strength, and as four months have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tlie perma nency of tlie cure. C. A. P. MASOF, Apothecary. 70 Uottlen Perforin 70 Cures. Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1855. James A. Kiiudes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent an order to Ames & Halliday for another half gross of your Feveraml Ague Cure, it inns sold like“ Hot Cakes,” and J have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had oue case of Chill Fever where it run four days, hut the man eamo to see me on tlio sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 21 Bottles Perform 34 Cures.

Rhodes —Having been entirely cured by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of tho 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 1 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. Wishing yjur m idicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F.

This proves the medi cine to he good, and we take pleasure iu bringing it before the notice of tlie public. —Odd Fellow, Buonsboro, Mil. Sept. 4. 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 ta Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of tlie Curo and has not had a chill since. A sroung man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works iike 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 of Medicine here for about three years, aud can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, W. O. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R„Ga., Jan. 1, 1556. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who Ims been fully cured by only one uottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. lIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tlie CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in tlio 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 havo 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 lake the Cun- on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of whicli 1 publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fillany newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than *-~er attended any other Ague Remedy. The UrovviiingGlory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected hy using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child iu the United Stateß would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Y’ellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as 11 Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened hy Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
