NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared by JV. W. Meat, M. D. KeasoUß why it should be used instead of any other treat- I meut in all Febrile affections : I :.t.— Economy of Time,— As only one-saseMh ol the ordinary time nt required to effect a cure. -itl.— Economy of Money, —As it c .sts but one llollul . it rd, -Economy of Keeling,— Ah it saves the suffering of a long sickness and the couaeijuent treat ment; Hie annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long con linemen t; but little of thetluid being rieceaoury, and that pleasant in its effects. 4tli. — Economy of Thought. —As when known, it will remove*ll dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. sth. —Economy of Health.— As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the foyer subject to lie followed by chronic disease. Oth.—Economy of Life.— As the cure iseffecti and before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might be added, tint these are deemed sufficient to satisfy ull classes uud persons in all condi tions of life. ‘i'lie above reasons are more particularly applicable to tile immediate treatment on the hrst attack, hut will apply witli equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or havo become reduced, corresponding oi course •o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in nil ordinary eases, when used soon after the attack, persons cun scarcely realize that they had bean really much sick and very naturally conclude they were not attacked with fever, and If so, “it was trilling a little redd, whieti gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence —itwouldliave passed oil with out anything—that medicine had noeflect.” The general impression on the subject of feveris such, that thoughts not unlike tlie above follow the cure of a common ease is naturally as men think at ull; and it is not until the Individual has witnessed ninny eases Hint he can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling ctuies, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been llins successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will eases occur where there is seme organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though sio eesslul in reducing the fever, it will again rise os the luiltieuce of the “Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in snen cases that • Imve given and frequently refer to what I have railed a “synopsis.” itemurks on Feverx in General* On tills subject I wish to be fully understood. Hy the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend ull febrile affections to which the human frame Is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but us they arise by u great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, tho.y of course differ considerably ill their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; vet all ure distinguished by the same general character istics—that ol undue excitement in tlie circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or less ituiuitural fre quency in the pulse sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrated l’rof. T. Watson, of King’s College, hondon, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic,” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority, <>u page SU4, he says:—“Wo hear continually, both in uud out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, liruin Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, J.ow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full us particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Enteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms. I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of ail this siih-divisiou, is liiul anil loir!fnl. 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 fevers, tliat can lie lulled on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance uud 1 would i mprets on your minds the folly of bunting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you mill be well instead of any distinctcharoctor being devel oped, sous to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of tlie sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in wind, and treat at once without regard to tuvme., ami rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But us cases may lmve be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some oilier treatment, I will describe us brietly us possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for nil those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. /{ides important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid.

When the fever begins to subside, patients must ho left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not lie questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of ail extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation he allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but he left quiet to nil intents and purposes. fith.

Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness alter the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with u little spirit, ginger, or sumo other stimulant; or the face and breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 vears, “ sto 15 “ “ “ 3 “ 5 “ l2 to 30 “ “ 5 “ 10 “ 20 to 60 “ “ 8 “ 16 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonlul is u common dose. Old persons do not require ns 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 cf ten yours of ago frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given tlie above table, with the remark that, as u general rule, children require more than intuits in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will Ihi found agreeable iu all of its effects, the expectations of tho most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object Iu bciug thus particular is, that tho full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Keniittriit Fever. Give a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple eases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the “Rules.” But should there Ih> prominent local symp toms. or known local existing causes, they should be attended to tit once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any case the I wels are particularly constipated or confined, give n ihartlc (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the lever is very high, pul*” running 110 or upwards, ntnl the patient is uot particularly susceptible to tlie Influence ol medicine—not easily operated on by medic,uo generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may be given at first witli advantage, aiul eveu repeated in two hours—if it—tho pulse—has not beeu softened . thus showing the medicine bus taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits aud water, in those difficult cases, will afford relief aud ahl the medicine much in takiug effect. Congestive Fever. Give two teaspoonsful aud repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full und soft, then only a ti a spcoulul, to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicim to operate in this disease, no time should bo lost to got them open, give some active cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may lie neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold appltcationa to me hemi. Quinine may bo added to the “ Fluid” If thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship aud Pud-Id or Spotted Kever. As these fevers are ali of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse Miiall and w lr y, with a general great depression, there is uo practical use in separating them-it least so far as concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still cj mparatively little, us they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few daw ts&sssr ” i™ ,ie ii t r e ? tm /o t * l,ou ''’ ’’e commenced—which mav immediately fellow any outer without detriment—witli ateaspoonfiil of “Huid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or la, ger in volume, then to be continued nce in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides | In laid eases, from three to five grains each of quinine - aud capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tunic and atiinu- I lant (sue auxiliaries) should l>e added to each dose. Tim 1 bowels should lie kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should he given occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should lie sustained by nourishing anil nmeilageuotis drinks—such as ure in common use iu such cases.— Where tlie skin is very dry, sponging tlie surface us di rected in bilious fevor, will lie found advantageous. Tonics should housed during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give a teaspoon! ul of the “Fluid” every Iwo hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of honrset; or half the quantity may lie given every Hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. Tlie lemeset ten should lie given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, inustaid plaster, or something ol the kind, to IHI applied over the seat of pain; keep tlie bowels gently open. Variola, Variulnlil, ltulieolu and Scnrla tinat or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Senrlet Fever. As nil of these diseases are attended with fever, which iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, its they ull commence with fever, hut treat it ut once; govern the fever and there will he no trouble; there will tie but little, eruption even in small pox. Thin, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will lie regarded with ridicule by muny. 1 nevertheless boldly make tlie assertion, thut small pox, if treated as I direct, will be cut short; attended witli hut little erup tion; little nr no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, hut ull that i hold must dear; besides, un this subject, I have good authority ; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: “ You may abate the force of tlie eruptive fever, and keeji down, it is believed, tlie number of the. pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission Unit it may lie done. I nave not only proven it maybe, Imt has been done i it, numerous cases that occurred on hoard ship. See tlie account appended. Give a teuspoouful or mure, according to tlie urgency of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; rejs'.-it tlie Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the fever uub siilos —though one or two doses is generally sufficient; hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat Is affected, any of the ordinary gurgles may he used, and tile surface hatlied, as thought advisable. In one case, on tlie ship Duchess d’Orlcans, tlie tongue uud faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured hy dropping tlie Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow, when it was given iu teuspoouful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was r educed so as to enable him to take nour ishment iri about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone.— lim'd to wet the threat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming maludy to which the 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, ns tlie Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re peated as long us the foyer continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should Ik: attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the Indies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid iu many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or a cold taken at adelicuto 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 the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called fever, or subdue aud control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie 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 he romoved in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate means, and these sohitld 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 be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended witli diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie “ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local paiu or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply ifcold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” viuegnr and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any 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 the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “Fluid” at the same time as directed, aiul success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you havo seen, and then you will he astonished at tlie ease witli which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant hy cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about \\ hat is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to ho fully understood by all. 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medl cino I have referred to, viz:— Cathartics.— Articles that purge or operate on tho bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antiliilious, Ac.; anything known to bo good for such purposes. Hcpatice.—Anything known to act outlie liver ivarticularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools’ tor this purpose, will answer when used iu connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tho third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and he sue cotwtul. Toiilcs.—Articles that give tone or strength, such ns quinine, various harks, roots uud hitter herbs. Bone sec or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such as check tlie action of tho bowels, lsiudnnum and other preparations of opium arc used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which havo the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the host: giuget, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences ure ail more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are ci-ncrullv Used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic.” “anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” and “‘sedative than known in the materia medico 1 shall not tax tho reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tho results of a trial, nnd will’ only refer to one instance of success, that on the PMckt-lslilp Dih-licxm D'Orleaux. whic h cannot be classed among ordinary certificates ■ We, the undersigned, certify to tlie’ following viz— We took passage on tlie packetship Duchess and Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying iu the port of Havre.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of diseaso is owing principally to difference iu ago, sex, constitution uud habits of tlie sufferers; hut as tlie cause is tlie name, they will ail 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 a specific remedy. All Nlalariu, w hetiier aiKing from Marshes, .Stagnant water, decompo sition ol animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in tlie atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes tho poison whenever it comes in con tael with it. even in the open air, aud when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, aud tints restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any hul tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly cheek the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, anil by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radieal cure will bo effected; tlie patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison in tlie system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Btbllily and Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other tuede cines. The patient at unco begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. liy its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me chanics, and nil laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocatious in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tho most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete amt unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all tlie resources cf science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, ail thoir remedies or treatment, whether scientific oi empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than tho disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects ate superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may he taken witli 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 enre diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire llarmlessness, The following certificate from one of tho most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New Y'ork, 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 I 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 tlie 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 the one under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken iu advance. This is owing to tho diseases being produced by one aui the same cause, and therefore till, botli residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlie 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 docs 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 antibilious purgative. Tlie very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, itMusv be taken or the operation of tlie antidote will bo seriously ob structed. Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour tlie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu sleeping 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 degieo commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. Tliis mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very youug infants are exposed to malarious situations. • The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cuke” blown in tho glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tho proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

I had one case of Chill Fever where it run fmr days, but the man came to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perform 24 Cures. Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1855. Mb. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—The box of “Ague Cure” you sent us lias all been sold and created a large demand for more; to meet which we have ordered from your general agent, at Chicago, J. D. Vorrington. Its sale will only be equalled by the number of Fever aud Ague eases. Hoping these cases may he lew, yet bare a bottle for every case. We remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS & ALLEN. 19 Bottles Per-form 19 Cures. LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER. Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your medicine has met with the most favorable success iu this neighborhood. 1 have about five bottles left. I give it to them at first, •if no cure uo pay,’ although I was not authorized by you to do so; but 1 took the responsibility on myself.— But not a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out of the article I wish you would forward me one gross of the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will be punctual in payment. I inclose fifteen dollars on the medicine I have received, for which please send me a receipt. Ship the cureto me as soon as you can—there never has been as much Chills and Fever since 1 lived in the State, as at present. Yours, RICHARD MARTIN, P. M. 21 Bottles Perform 21 Cures. Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855. Du. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Bir—Your Cure fertile Fever and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not failed in one instance to effect a quick anil permanent cure. Some who have beeu troubled with the distress ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four dozen, ns we have but three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATIIROP & 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 tlie benefit it lias beeu to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthinu sf Panama, several mouths since, and in spite of th ■ different remedies and treatment J adopted, my heal Ogrew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. — Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing y jur m sdicine tlie success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. 1 n another column of to-day’s paper will he 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 lias effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and wo take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of tlie public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Ml. 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 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 tho Cure and has not had a chill since. A youug man also used the same Balsam somo 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—l have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three 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. lb, 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. lIAYLES. 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 the Fever and Aguoornot, 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 Cure on commission. They thought its great claims uud pretensions could uot be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters ot which I publish su h immense quantities are always now and late dates—altogether they would more tliau fill any newspaper, and prove tlie tact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attendedany other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory of the ('tiro is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Y’ellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a jierfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick aud permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to ull whose constitutions have been shuttered or weakened by Ague or Billons diseases, night sweats, languor anil de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
