NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared l>y M. W. Seat, M. I>.
Reason* why it should be used instead of anyotlier treat
ment in all febrile affections:
I m(.—Economy of Time.—As only oHe-se.cenlh
nf Hie ordinary tirau ie required to effect a cure.
td>—Hconomy orM#ney<— A* it c*u but one
dollar.
llril.-Keonomy of Fealing. —A< it nave* the
suffering of a long rickne** uuil the coiuii|ueut treaC
lueut; tlio unnoyanco of taking naunuutlug donas of
medicine tliolr disagreeable operation, and the pain ol
lonx contluement; but littlo of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
ttli. Economy of Thought. — As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
H dear IVlend is sick.
tlx. — Economy of Health. —As (lie system
(h not reduced, and consequently rneked; uor is the fover
subject lo be followed by chronic disease.
Oth. Economy of l.lfc. — As the cure is effected
before and without reducing lire patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger ol u fatal
termination.
Ollier rensons might be added, but these are deemed
Kiiillcient to satisfy all classes aud persons iu all condi
tions of life.
The above rousons are more particularly applicable to
tiie immediate treatment on tlio first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or iiavo become reduced, corresponding of courso
•o the nature of the case at tho time it is lirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent ruliof, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize tluil they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
wore not attacked with fever, and if so, “it v.as trifling
—a little cold, which gato alarm —it could have been
uothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine leal no effect.” Tlio general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
us naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
the individual has witnessed ninny cases that bo can fully
realize tlio truth; and even then he may cnueltide them
all very trifling cases, whieh would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, I.hough they have
been I Inis successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there wili casus occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though suceesslul in reducing tlio fever,
it will itgnin rise us the influence of the “Fluid” pusses
oil', us the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in stien cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer lo what 1 have called a “ synopsis.”
Renini ks on Fevers lu Utnerab
On this subject I wish to be fully understood, By the
term “levers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which tho human frame is subject, including sniull pox
Htifl Other eruptive ftwem; hut nn llir* nrisfl tty a fticat
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they id’ course differ considerably in their
development nnd exhibit a variety of fore s or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general oharacler
i. tics that ol undue excitement in tho circulatory aud
nervous systems —inducing more or loss unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, hi-nse of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that] am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance. 1 quote from th” colebrafed Prof. T. Watson,
ol King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ples mid Practice of Physic” Is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
On page 834, he says:—“ We hear continually, both in
und out of the profession, different species of lever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fover,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I atn persuaded that tho effect upon the
mind of nil this sub-division, is biul and 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 fevers,
that call be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, oven the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
Tim above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would imprest on your minds tlio folly of hunting
op or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
(ever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will he well instead of any distinetcharuoter being devel
oped, so ns to be properly named by the most soientilic.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at tho bed
side of tlio sick, in hundreds, ayo, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons aud climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, uud rest
assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have lie
come developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
us briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent levers, though the “ Rules”
aud “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.
/Inks important tv be observed in all cases in using the
A'egativt Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given iu throe or four times its own
quantity of wuter, and may bo sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be freo from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation in the
sick room,) uor attempt to go about while under its in-
II uouce.
3d. It must bo continued whenever tho fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fover begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
uot bo questioned as to thoir wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or tuko any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce, them to rise or speak; nor
should uuy conversation be allowed iu their hearing, iu
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents ami purposes.
sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as tho patient desires aud no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
C'tli. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in tho Ijriug posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tlio fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
winy, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

There is no particular care necessary lit giving it to
children—those of ten years of age frequently having
taken lull doses; but tor a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in ad ,q its etTocts, the expectations
of the imst sanguine realised, and many perfectly
astonished My object in l>eiug thus particular is. that
the full beueflt of the medicine may lie obtained and

Hiltons or Itrmltlent Fever.

See Synopsis.
If in any case the b wels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
llrst portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the inlluenee of medicine—not easily operated on hv
medicine generally—a double dose, or two tcaapoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours it it—tin* pulse—has not been soft* tiftl,
thus showing the medicine lias taken effect.
bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and

the medicine much ill taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside). As
the Imwels are generally confined, and It is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease
no time shouldb lost to get them open, give some active’
cathartic with the •> Fluid'’ and repeat as may he neces
sary till it operates, enemas (injectious) may also he

Variola, Varioloid, itubeola and Scixi lu
11iisxI or Small Pox, V arioloiil, Me union,
Slid Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attcudedAvitli fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs bun little from tliut of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn tlio “ name ,” whether it is one or the
other, nr neither, its they all commence with Jen r, but
treat it at once; govern the fever und there will be no
trouble; there will be but Utile, eruption. even iu small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, aud doubtless
will ho regarded w ith ridieule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will he, cut. short; attended witli but littlo erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On tills i will stake
not only my reputation, but all that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, anil
keep down, it is believed, the number oj the, pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be done. I nave not only proven it may he, lout Ims
been done in numerous eases that occurred on huard
ship. See the account appended.
(live a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once ill two hours if necessary, until the feversub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tiie fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one ease, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, tlio tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, uud lie was cured l.y dropping the
I Fluid on ins tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
nil mlurmins symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tiie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
bed gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
‘1 his heretofore painful, dangerous uml alarming
tuulady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tiie
Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, ns tlio
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated us long as the lover continues, as in other cases.
Tim bowels of courso should be attended to.
Iu connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few generul remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
Is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials, lu child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing ofiect deprives tlio 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. Bestlessuess, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is ono of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
die 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 oue can sleep naturally and
healthy; li -nce its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, aud condense tho treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tho condition called lever, or subdue aud
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tiie
name it may bo or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
VV lieu such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld be 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 cull all else auxiliary treatment.
if the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tho lirst dose, or soon alter, aud should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat the dose: if attended
•eltli diarrhoea, give something known so bo good tor
tliat complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlio
“Fluid” will soon relieve thut condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply sonio stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or. perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tiie part; if
violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or sonio cooling application, and bailie
the feet in hot water; if the fover is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, spungo or bathe llie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tiie saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tiie medi
cine iu 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 lias become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will 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 the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” nnd a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other cireumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then yon will bo astonished at tlio ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Fat ties may feci at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about wluit is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
eino l have referred to, viz:—
t lit lm rt ftch*—Articles that purge or operate on tin*
bowels, such us castor oil, suits, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antlbllious, Ac.; anything
known to be good forsneli purposes.
Hepatlci. Anything known to act ou the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Aliy of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “ Fluid” or while tlio system is under Its in
fluence. And one may chooee calomel— another, blue
mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be sue
ccssful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
sec or tliorougliwort is one of the best used iu fevers.
Astringent a. —Such ns check the action of the
bowels, laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tiie best •
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry m treating levers, though many others are generally
use I, but the Negative Electric Fluid is „ better “ dia
phoretic, “uuodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative than known in tlio materia malic,i

dope tiding mainly on the results of u trial, aud will

“o, the undersigned, certify to the following vir—
Me took passage on the packetshfp Duchess d'Orleuns
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’
and bound tor New York. She sailed on the nth of Aui
gust, 1851, w ith over n hundred souls on hoard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the snniil
pox broke out among tlio emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. M Peat with
anew remedy of Ids own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which ho seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, uml curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine dnva
there werenbout eighty cases of small pox, sonic fever’
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, wo are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Beut on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
SO much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on Is van I, and ml a dfulli! The
fact speaks for itself.

WHICH JIAVK A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MAlj/vniA OH. MIASMA.
■ ‘ IMILSE diseases are common to many localities of tlio
1. liuited (Rates; but wherevur they prevail, North,
! South, Lust or West, they all equally spring from the
i some luiasimii cause. The great variety ot symptoms und
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as tlio
causo is Hie same, they w ill oil equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
by the law sos Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and 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 iniimui and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a jioi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breatle- il. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between oje
posites, there is in the preparation before its, offered to
the public,
Tiie Natural Antidote (> Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tort witli it, even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by It of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any tmt the proprietor, who distinctly claims
Lite followvug extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will be effected; tiie 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 Die 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 Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
cincs. The patient at once begins to reevor appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect lienitli.
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 be using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
w hich is often to them the most valuable part of tiie
year.
Since tho introduction of the CUKE in every part of
the 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 of
the most candid minds, because all ilie resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; uud wliat was still worse lor ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saliciue, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than tlio disease
they subdue, aud when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects jre superadded
to the poor sufferer's lirst complaint.
On this account aguo sufferers should be 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, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Harmless ness,
The lollowing certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in tho 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 examinational 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 Ifonnd
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It ir a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relievo the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do uu equally good work by
preventing the 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 the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an!
the same cause, anil therefore all, botli 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 tho Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident 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. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember tiiat where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must i:e taken
or tiie operation of tiie antidote will bo seriously ob
structed.
Duly Caution.— ln certain specified cases, jiuur
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,
ami also tho air watted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it. after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to u degteo commensurate with its expo
sure, the 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 situatious.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ac.ue Cure” blown in the
glass, aud on the outside wrapper is tho name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tho
signature of tho proprietor. These precautions aro
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely uton its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will bo considered sufficient.

of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidoto to Malaria: „„„„
Ht. Loiiirt, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
. given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. K. Chilton,
of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for tiie medicine. Since then J have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents ot tliiscity, who have inva
l iubly been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer, i am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be nil that
tho proprietor represents.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who has not been fre e from Fever and
Ague a month at a time for the last twelve yours, 1 sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent
ail order to Ames k Halliday for another half gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure. It has sold liko“ Hot Cakes,”
and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
lias sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Aguo
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and told them to try
it, aud if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it. and they were all satisfied. 1 lmd oue case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on the sixtli day well satisfied.

Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. 1 was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmu sf Panama, several
mouths since, and iu spite of th • different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my heal i.-grew worse until
I commenced the use of your F’ever 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 slicine the success that it merits,

Evidence from n 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
iu the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Curo and has not had a chill since. A young man
also used tho 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 Pliysician.
Montickllo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —I have been in the practice
of Medicine hero for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and proscribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
‘ W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11. C. U. It., Ga., Jan. 1, ISSC.
Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
wlio has been iitlly cured by only ono bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A. 11AYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly ns possible into every town und village
in tlio United States, Canadas, &e. 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 F’ever 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 Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will ho noticed that the letters
of which I publish sn li 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 everattendedany 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 the warm nnd 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 tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tiie
Cure is n perfect antidote.
It is ulso unequalled for quick nnd permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life aud strength to all
w hose constitutions have been shattered or Weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
