NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared Ly N. W. Nral, M. D. Reasons why it hliouM be used lusti-wl of any other treat ment iu all Febrile affection*: I >*lKconoiny of Time. -As only m'-ttvrnlk el the ordinary time in required to effect a cure. td.—Kconomy of Money. —Ah it cist* but one dollar. 3rd.—Ucuuomy of Keeling.—Ah it naves the suffering of a long nick liens and tiie consequent treat inent; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of tuediciue, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant iu its effects. 4th. —Kemtoiny of Thought. -As when known, it will remove all dread mid anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. 9th. Kconoiny of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. Oth.—Kconomy of I.lfc.—As the cure isollected before iiud without reducing tho patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, nil danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might lie addod, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and pontons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the Immediate treatment on the first attic k, but will apply witli equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, correspondin ‘ of course *.o the nature of the cose at the time it is first adminis tered. As tliiu remedy gives so prompt, ctfectnul and perma nent relief, in ail ordinary coses, when used soou alter tho attack, persons can scarcely realize tlmt they hud been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they 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 ’tad noeffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, tlmt thoughts not unlike the ’.above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many eases that lie can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling eases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of canes, must expect that there will cases occur where there iu some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though successful in reducing tho fever, it will again rise as tho influence of tlio “Fluid” passes oil, as the exciting causa may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment ill such cases that I have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers Iu (ienerab On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. liy tho term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and othci eruptive fevers; but us they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and liabils, tin y of course differ con .Jerubly in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet ali re distinguish* dby tiie same general character istics—that ol undue excitement in tho circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tiie skin, debility, Ac. To show I hut. I am not wholly alone iu the opinion I advance, I quote from tho celehrafed Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, whose work on the “Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently sUmdardautiiurity . On page 834, he says:—“ We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo kou of. lly tiie public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid FevtLew Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers sre to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Euteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that tho effect upon tho mind of all tiiis sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its rutme. There is no lino of genuine distinction between continued fevors that can be relied on. They mil insensibly into each other, even tiie most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Tho above is a great bn l, etie worthy of reme/nbrance and I would imprest ou your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yoi ell'about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distinctcliaracter being devel oped, so os to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but ou experience at tiie bed side of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of case, (by myself and others) under a’ great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at onco without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be ...od 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 possiole the proper course to bo pursued in all of the rnoßt prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the : . Rule* important to be observed in all cares in using the Neyatire Electric fluid. Ist. it should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not ut pleasure. fid Patients must bo freo from ull currents of air, (though there should always bo free ventilation in the Nick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to riso again, should such bo the case under any circumstances. 4tU. When the fever begins to subsido, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should uot ho questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till tl ir oum natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu which they may feel more or less interested, but be .. . t quiet to all intents and purpi s. 6th. Fluids should he allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long ns the patient desires and no longer; they may consi. . 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 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 maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or uuder, fr om 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5‘ “ 12to 30 “ “ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom n teaspoonful is u common dose. Old persons do not require as much os young, or those in the prime of life; ucr females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is uo particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of ge frequently having taken full doses; hut for u little guide, I have given the above table, with the remark tliat, as a general rule, children require more than adults iu proportion. By observing tho above directions, the medicine will lie found agreeable iu ull of its effects, the expectations ot tiie most sanguine realized, uud many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particuinr is, that the full benefit of tho medicine may ho obtained, and uot on account of any actual necessity ol such strict ob servances. Bilious nr Ki'miltriit Fever. Give a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu two hours, till the fever is evidently passing- off; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, with such observafiees as are set forth iu the “ 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.” Bee Synopsis. It in auy ease the ‘ wels are particularly constipated or confined, give a uthartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion; they must be opened or the fever msy rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running HO or upwards, und the patient is not particularly susceptible to tho influence of medicine —not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two tcaspoonsful may begiveu ut first with advantage, and even repeated iu two hours—if it—the pulso—has not been softened, thus showiug tli” medicine has taken effect. Bathing tlio surface with water at nil agreeable temperature, the saline wash, viuegar or spirits aud water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief and aid tho medicine much iu taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two tcaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full aud soft, then ouly a tea spoonful. to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As the bowels are generally confined, und it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in tiff* disease, uo time should Va> lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “ Fluid’’ uud repeat as may lie neces sary till it operates; euemss (injections) may also he used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the bauds or flannel; also, cold applications to the head.

In bail cases, from three to five grains each of quinine. and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to cacli do#-. Tiie bowels should bo kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even though the bowels should bo very loose. Tho patient j should he sustained by nourishing and nnuilagenous drinks—such us are in common use in such cases. Where tint skin is very dry. sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all rases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typlioltl Pneumonia, l.ung or ‘Winter Fever. Hive .1 leaspooufnl of tiie “Fluid” every two hours, witli a wiue-glaKsftil of a strong decoction of boncset; or half tli” quantity may lie given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. Tiie boueset tea should lie given warm till the violent symptoms arc allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard piaster, or something ol the kind, to bo applied over the seat of pain; keep tho bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, .Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended w ith fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs Into little from Unit of common levers. Remember never wait to learn tiie “ name,” whether it is one or tiie other,or neither , as they all commence with Jevcr, hut treat it at onco; govern the foyer and there wilt be no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless Is,ldly make tiie assertion, tlmt small pox, if treated as I direct, will be cut short; attended witli but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I wiil stake not ouly my reputation, but all tliul 1 hold ni.isl dear ; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. Ho says, page 874: “Yon may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, tho number oj live, pusluht by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tliat it may he done. 1 nave not ouly proven it may be, but has been done in numerous cases tlmt occurred on hoard ship, Bee tiie account appended. liive a teaspoonful or more, according to tho urgency of tiie case, witli a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tiie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until (he lever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When tiie throat is affected, any of tiie ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, us thought advisable. In one case, ou tiie ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and ihucus were so much swollen that tiie patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonftil doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tiie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in übout twelve hours by tiie Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle, ill all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tin, mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Klectric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoon fill, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as tiie Fluid will arrest it iu a siiort lime. It should he re peated as long as the fever continues, os in otiier cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. in connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tiie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of tiie happy effect of the Fluid iu many ol their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tiie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once bv a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or a cold taken ut adelicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of tiie most convenient and effectual remedies for many of tiie ills of females, if not Hie most soofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tiie wholo system, removing all excitability and iritubility of tho nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one tan sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 7 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid will change tho condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name, it mij bo or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control ull organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should ue appropriate means, and these sohuld bo given while givii., tho “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 wi.i sub due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tho bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho first uose, or soou after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with 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 inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold wator, ice water, if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe tho feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry uud hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the wholo surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief uud aid the ruedi ciuo in taking effect, alter which there will be no trou ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra t'd, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low levers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescent , when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea act vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine 11 remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when Hie stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms us you would under any other circumstances, giving tho “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, und success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you w ill be astonished at tiie case with which 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 particular about what is used. I have found uo such necessity when using tile Fluid, and to lie fully understood by all, 1 will name ft tew of the different articles of medi cine l have referred to, viz:— t't hart tea.—Articles that purge or operate on tiie bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tho roots or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.: anything known to lie good for such purposes. Hepntica.—Anything known to act. on tho liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection w itli the Fluid” or while tlio system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so ou; each may take his choice and be sue ceaflful. Tonics. —Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Bom-- ser or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers Astringents.—Such as cheek the action of the bowels. Ijoidanum aud other preparations of opium arc used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulants.— Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; giugcr, spirits, hartshorn. Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generallx used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” nnd “sedative” than known in the materia medica. 1 shall uot tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, tliat on the Pnckctalilp Duchess D'Orlenng. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates - We, the undersigned, certify to the* following viz— \Yc took passage on the packetship Duchess d'Orleaus t apt iluttou, then lying in the port of Havre, France’ and bound for New York.

Xj /XjaiiV OR MIASMA, ri MIK.SK diseases art: common to many localities of tho A United Btates; but wherever they prevail, North, boutli, Hast or West, they all equally spring from tiie same miusmal cause. The great variety of symptoms ami forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution aud habile of the sufferers; hut as tiie cause is tlio same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is conqietent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, ami for every disease, or cause of disease, there is u re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal aud vegetable matter, or oven 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 witli tiioso unalterable laws governing (lie uuerriug affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to tiie public, The Natural 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 purities the system uffected by it of its baneful iuilnence, aud tints restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known to any bnt the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from uuo day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to tho direc tions, a radical cure will be effected ; the patient contin uing free from thecQiuplolntforevcr; 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, uud when tiie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Nlglit Sweats, which so often follow tiie administration of other mode cities. The patient at once begins to recyer appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. liy its use Fever and Ague may be banished front every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in 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 tiie CURE in every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made. at. the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tiie most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse lor ague sufferers, ull their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, 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 tiie poor sufferer’s first 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 tliat their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof tliat 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 amt Entire Ilarmlessness, T'.o following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has 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, aud have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have Ifonnd any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tho constitution. “JAMES R. CIIILTON, M. I)., Chemist.” it is a stubborn fact, therefore, tlmt tiiis Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing tho taking of other meuicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. Tiiis is owing to the diseases being produced by one ani the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlio timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tiie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in violent attack. Take tho Cure as a preventive, aud so destroy tiie poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tiie stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember tliat where tiiis is necessary, or there is costiveness, itMusT betaken or the operation of tiie antidote will be 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 tho air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, alter tiie liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to n degteo commensurate with itH expo sure, tiie 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 malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tiie glass, aud on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tho signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The beuancz for. its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will he considered sufficient.

MASOF, Apothecary. 70 liotiles Perform 70 Cures. Constantine, Mich., Sept. 34th, 1855. James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent an order to Ames & Holliday for anot her half gross of your Feveraud Ague Cure. It lias sold like “ llotCakcs,” and 1 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 one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on tho sixtli day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. QLADDINQ. II Bottles Perform 34 Cures.

Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. 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 Isthmu f Panama, several months since, and in spite of tli > different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal t jgrew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since tht time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur medicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg. who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the uiedi cino to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Jioonsboro, 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 valuo of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for somo months without any per manent benefit —a few days since she got a bottle of the Curo 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 works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —I have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself aud 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. IIAYLF.S. 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 town and village in the United States, Canadas. &c. 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 tlio Fever and Ague or not. just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Curo ou commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed tliat the letters of which I publish su *h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended 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 tiie 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 the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect 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.
