NEGATIVE ELECTRIC PLUID, PrrpKrcd by JV. W. Meat, M. D. Reasons why It should bo used instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affection*: Ini.—Kcuuoiny of Time.— An only one-seoenth of the ordinary time is required to effect a euro. td.—Eco]iomy of Money. —As It c mts but one dollar. 3rd. — Economy of Feeling.—As it saves tlio suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; tlio aunoyaneo of talcing nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, und tlio pain of lung contineinent; but little of the fluid being necessary, sud that pleasant In its effects. 4tlx. — Economy of Thought. —As when known, it will remove all 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; nur Is the fever subject to lie followed by chronic disease. Oth. — Economy of Life. —As tliecure iseflbcted before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. • •tlicr reasons might be added, but these are deemed sufficient to aatisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the tirst attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become raduced, corresponding of course *0 the nature of the case at tlio timo it is first adminis tered. As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary casos, when used soon after the attack, persons cun scarcely realize that they had 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 csniequetice—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had noeflect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the|above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and il is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully realize tile truth; and even then lie may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medlein j, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in pcrlinps hundreds of cases, must •xpect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local causo so great as to require particular attention, or though successlul in reducing the fever, it will ugaiu rise ns the influence of the “Fluid” passes oft, us the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment In suen coses that 1 have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.” Remark* on Fever* in General* On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” X comprehend ull febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but us they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions Ulld liflbils, liny of pour.. iUITor noiudderuldy In their development mid exhibit a variety of forms or types; vet all are distinguished by tho same general character istics—that of undue excitement in the circulatory und nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fl*e- Suency in tho pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, ebllity, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from the rolebrafed Prof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on tho “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” Is a text book In many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. On page 834, lie says:—“We hour continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By tho public, Typhus Fever, Uruiu Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full us particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, dustro-Unteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that tho effect upon the mind of all this siili-dlvislon, is bud 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 can he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even tlio most dissimilar of them, and are ofton trocoable to the same cause.” Tlie above Is u great fact, one worthy of reniombruuce and 1 would imprest on your mindH the folly of hunting up or troubling youiself about a “name;” If you have fever, treat It at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well Instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as 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 the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a greut variety of cir cumstances, seasons mid climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before tlio ** Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will doscribe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ Kulos” and “By nopals” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to atteudance upon the sick. Rules important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be givon In threo or four times its own quantity ot water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must he froo from all currents of air, (though there should always bo free veutilatiou in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case uuder uny circumstances. 4th. W’hcii tho fever begins to subside, putieuts must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not be questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, Independent of all extra neous influences, i/ulucc them to rise or speak ; nor should any conversation bo allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, hut he loft quiet to all intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it us plentifully, uud as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous driuks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm us parties may prefer or patients desire. tith. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lylug posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to occaatou them to speak of It, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonado with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face und breast maybe 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 mid under 2 years, “ 6to 16 “ “ 2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 30 “ “ 5 lO “ “20to 60 ” 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over flfteeu considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful Ih a common dose. Old persons do not require us much as young, or those in the prime of life; uor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving It to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with tho remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will he found agreeable in all of Its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object In bolug thus particular is, that tho lull benefit of tho UKvliclm* uiny bo obtained, and CU SCCSUut Cf any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Billnua or Remittent Fever. Give a teusponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes tho whole treatment in ull timpU cuses of fever, with such observances us are set forth in the “ Ilules.” But 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. If in any case the h nvels are particularly constipated or confined, give a . atliartlc (see auxiliaries) with the first'portion ; they most be opeuod or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse ruuniug 110 or upwards, and the patient Is not particularly susceptible to the Influence of medicine—not easily op*r<t(Wtim by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousful may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulso—has uot beeu softened, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Bath lug the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, In these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much In takiug effect. Congestive Fever. Olv# two teaapoonsful mid repeat every two hour* till the pulse becomes more full and eoit, thou only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside*. As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in tbl disease, no time rhould l>o lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “Fluid” aud repeat as may bo neces sary till it operates; enemas (.injections) may also be used to advanug*; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction rubbing with the hands or flannel; also, cold appllcanoni to thahaad.

In had cases, from three to five grains each of quinine j and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some totiio and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should bo sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous j drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.— Where tho skin is very dry, s|>onging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should lie used ilnring convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give a teaspoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hours, ! witli a wine-glassful of a stroug decoction of boneyet; or ! hall the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, , thru, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. Tho boneset tea should he given wurm till tlio violent j symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of ! the kind, to bo applied over tho seat of puiu; keep tlio bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, llubtoU and Scurla tlnai or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Hrsrlct Fever. As ull of these diseases are attended witli fever, which in fact is the most promiuent symptom, the treatment differs line little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or tlio other, or neither, us they ull commence with fewer, lint treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will is- but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, Is u new idea, and doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup tion ; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stuku not only my reputation, but all that 1 hold must dear; beside*, on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: “You may abate tlio force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number QJ the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission Unit it may be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous eases that occurred on board ship. See tlie account appended. Givo a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of tlie cuse, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once in two hours if necessury, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep tho lever under control. When tlie throut is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, und the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tougue and fuucus were so much swollen that the putient could uot 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 teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarmiug symptoms disappeared. The swolliug of tho throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment ill about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat 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 Negutive Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem to he of little consequence. A single doso or two of a teaspooiil'ul, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tlie Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re peated us long as tho fever continues, as in other cases. Tho 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 the Indies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of tlio happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose und retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or a cold taken at adcilcate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one of tho most convenient and effectual remedies for muuy of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine kuowu. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility of the nervous ns well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiutes, hut it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use iu so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give uuder this head general directions for all cases. As tho Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may bo or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such oxist, must Ire ramoved iu order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur iu any case, they should be appropriate muans, and those sohuld 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, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If tho bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) witli the tirst dose, or soon offer, and should it fall to operato in due time, repent the dose; if attended with diurrlura, give something known to bo good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid’.’ will soon relieve that condition: if Bevero local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet In cold water, to tlie part • if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surfuco with water at an agreeable temperature; “ tho saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou blo ; if tho patient hus beeu reduced or is much prostra ted, givo tonlcß and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fevor or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tho putient 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 the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give tho “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; iu short, treat all tho prominent symptoms as you would under uny other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at tlie same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease with 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. 1 have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— t utlinrtic*.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and mauy pills, antibiliuim, Ac.; anything kuowu to be good for such purposes. Hepatlcs.— Anything kuown to act outlie liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tlio articles depended on bv the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tho “Fluid” or while the system is uuder its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and ho suc cessful. Tonic*.— Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots aud hitter herbs Bone set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringent*. —Such as check the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulant*.— Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum pepper) is one of tlie best; ginger, 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 generallv used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dla phoretic, “anodyne,” “dmrptlc,” “relaxant” and sedative than kuown Ift materia medico J shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, dapending mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to one instauce of success, that on the PacketalUp Ducli.si D’Orlcan*. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates- We, the uudersigued, certify to the’ following, viz- Wo took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orleans Capt Hutton, tlieu lying iu Die port of Havre, France and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Am gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on board mostly emigrants- A Tew days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out amoug the emigrants, They were nil treated by the physlciau in charge, Dr. N.

No Poison! | Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure; Ok Antidote to Malaria; KOK THE PREVENTION ANI) CURE Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, und other Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp lons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night Sweats, and all other forms of disease WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN MALAH.IA OH. MIASMA. 1 rpiIESE diseases are common to many localities of the J. United States; but wherever they prevail, North, Soutii, East or West, they all equally spring lroin the j same miusuml cause. The great variety ol symptoms and I forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age, ! sex, constitution aud habits of tlie sufferers; but as tlie | cause is tho same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is conqietent to overcome or remove that cause. Hy the laws of Nature, every principle hus its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal aud vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the 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 tlie preparation before us, offered to the public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in tlie open air, and w hen taken inter nally completely purities tlie system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores und preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to uny but 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 one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from tlie complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon tlie poison in Uie system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other mode dues. The putient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever uud Ague luay be banished from 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 tlie sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the Introduction of tile CUKE 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 dute of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlio most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue aguo or biliouß diseases; aud what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On tliis account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fever ami 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 oil account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Hnrmlessiiess, Tho following 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 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 tho human family from malarious diseases, but to do an 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 mil the same cause, aud therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely uso of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure us a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet aud habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. it will often bo found necessary to precedo this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tlie very best thing for general use is a moderate doso of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will bo seriously ob structed. Only Cu ut ion. —in certain specified cases, puur the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms ; for tlie 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 auil destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, tho miasmata or poison contained in tho 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 the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tlie medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of the 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.

My object iu writing this note for publication, is to induce tho public, or at least those wlio are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of Real I'se in Fulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in so doing, 1 am acting most uuprofessionally, and deroga torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular Practitioners of Mediciue. I refer to Woodman's Cherry Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have used with more success than any of the usual prescrip tions used by Physicians. J. M. Maitland, M. D. Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1855. O. 0. Woodman —Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry Expectorant a fair trial aud am well pleased with its ef fects; better than any other article I ever met with. I would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot tles by the bearer. Respectfully, W. M. Mason, M. D. This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from the universal success which has attended its use. For coughs, colds, and iu fact, any pulmonary compluiuts, tills mediciue, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat, will probably be preferred to any other offered to the public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth keeping the digestive power's iu proper tone. Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading Physicians of New York city.

HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. 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. t Rhodes for tlie medicine. Sinco then I have disposed of a large quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer. I am, therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that the proprietor represents. EDWARD S. WHEATON, Pi esd't of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri. Had tlie Ague for Twelve Years!

I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but thomancuue to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 24 Bottle* Perform 21 Cure*. .

I give it to them at first, ‘if no cure no pay,’ although I was not authorized by you to do so; but I took the responsibility on myself.— But not a bottlo has come back, and as I am almost out of the article 1 wish you would forward mo one gross of the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will be punctual in payment.

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 if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th i different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal i jgrew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. — Siuce that 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 ih 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 medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Eoonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1856. 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 beneiit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got s 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. 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. HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tho CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possiblo 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 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 oven 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 be noticed that the letters of which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crotvnlng’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 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 Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlio Cure is a perfect antidote. It is aho 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.
