NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared by X. W. Seat, M. B. Kcanons why it nhould bo used instead of any other treut ment in all Febrile affections : Ist.—Economy of Time.-As only one-seventh of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. ‘4<l.-~ Economy of Money.—As it c sts but one dollar. :trd.—Kraiioiny of Keeling.—As it saves tiio suffering of n long sick ness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable Operation, and the paiu of long confinement; hut little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its efleets. ith.— Kronomy of TliougHt.—As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. 3tli.—Kconomy of Health.- -As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to l>e followed by chnaiic disease. fith.—Kronomy of Life.—As thacureiseflecled before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal teriniaatiou. Other reasons might be added, but these uro deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in nil condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly epplicablo to the immediate treatment on the ffrst attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to 01 have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the case at the tirno it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, offectual and poniia nent relief, In all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they hud been really much sick, und very naturally conclude they were not attacked with fever, und if so, “it was trilling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—lt would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had uo effect.’’ The general impression on the subject of fever is such, tliut 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 many cases that he can fully realise the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling coses, which would have readily yielded ’ to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been tlius successful in perhaps hundreds of coses, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though successiul in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes “11, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in suen cases that 1 lmvo given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.” Remarks on Fever* In Uenersb On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood, lly the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is suljcct, including small pox audother eruptive fevers; but aa they arise by a great variety of causes, sad in quits •Husiniilnt- is>i,.titiiii„u. and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development aud exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that ol undue exc*’ ment in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing moro or lcsa unnatural fre quency ill the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from the celebrafed Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, whose work on the “Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently indardauthority. On page it; 14, lie says;—“ Wo hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Bruin Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fover, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Knteric, and so forth. Now, udmittiug that lever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It Oiicouragcs a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro scribe for a disease according to its name. Thero is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, anil are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and l would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting up o- ‘troubling youiself about a “ name;” if you have fever, trout it at once as hereafter directed, and you wiU be well instead of any distinctcliaructer being devel oped, so us to he properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience ut tho bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myaell and others) under u grout variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear tills In mind, und treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as coses may have be come developed before the Fluid” is given, either by ueglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe us briefly us possible the proper course to be pursued in all oi the most prominent fevers, though the “ Hulos” aud “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick. Mules important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. Tt should be given in throe or four times its own quantity ot water, and may lie sweetened or not at pleasure. ’ld. Patients must bo free from ull currents of air, (though there should id ways lie free ventilation in (ho Biek room,) nor attempt to go alumi nhtlo under its in fluence. 3d. It must tie continued whenever tho fover subsides, or is evidently passing off’; to he resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not be questioned us to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to convene, read or ts.ko any exerciso whatever, till their oum natural feelings, independent of all extru ueous influences, induce them to rise or speak; uor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be loft quiet to all intents olid purposes. 6tli. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and us long os tho patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold wutor, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. tfth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of if, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over l and under 2 year's, “ 6to 16 “ “ “ 2 “ 6 “ 12 to 30 “ 6 lO “ 2O to 50 “ ’’ B “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered us mlults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much us 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 lull doses; but for a little guide, I have given the shove table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will lie found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations ot the most wuiguimi roMizod, und many perfectly astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that the lull beuottt ot 1 lio inodiciuo may bo obtained, and not on account ot any aetual sienssity of such strict ob servances. Uilloua or Remittent Fever. Hive a toospoiiful of “ Fluid” (gee rule Ist) once iu two hours, till tho fever is evidently missing iv-, this constitutes the whole treatment iu ull simple cases „f fever, with such ob. ervanees as are set forth iu the ’■ Kuli .’’ llut should there bo prouiiuont local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should !• attended to at once, aud while giving the “ Fluid.” Bee Synopsis. If in any case the h >wcU are particularly constipated or confined, give h .iUmrtlc (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must be opened or the fever tuav rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the putic .* is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by uiedlciue generally—a doublo doso, or two teaspoonsful may bo given ut first with advantage, ami even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been snflned, thus showing the medicine „as taken effect. Bathing the surface with water ut an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Uive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soil, theu only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside).

The bowels should lie kept gently open, and small portions of some hejtatsc should bo given occasionally, even though the bowels slionld be very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagunous drinks—such as are iu common use iu such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should housed during convalescence, in ull coses which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumuulu, hung or Winter Fever. (liven teaspoonful of tho “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or half tile quantity may be given every hour’ till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours. The boueset tea should be given warm till (he violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ot the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Var>ioid, Rubeola aud Scarla -11 iiit; m small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, him! Scarlet Fever. As all of these dis uses are attended witli 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, as they all commence with fever, but treat it ut once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will he but Utile, eruption even ill sniull pox. This, to most minds, is a uew idea, mid doubtless will lie regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated us 1 direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, und tiiut there is no necessity of Its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, but all that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; Hint of I’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874; “ Von limy abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, tho number of the. pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is Hie admission Hint it may be done. 1 nave not only proven it nuxy be, lint has been done in numerous coses tliut occurred on board ship. Bee the account appended. Hive n tcusjioniifui or more, according to tho urgency oi tlie cose, witli a dose of suits or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should he given und repeated nuflicieutly to keep tho fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bullied, us thought advisable. In one case, on tho ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping tho Fluid on bis tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlie throat was uo as to enable him to take nour ishment ill about twelve Jiours by tho Fluid alone.— Used to wet tho throut frequently, it is doubtless the best gurgle, in all such cases. Puerperal or Cliildbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dungerous and alarming inuliuly to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of u teaspoonful, 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 be re peated as long us tlie fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain und suffering. It is to inform them of tho happy effect of the Fluid iu many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.— l’aiuful menstruation will be relieved at once by u com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or u cold taken ut udelicate time, is easily relieved by its use ; in short, it is one of tho most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any modicine 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 tor all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all oircums.-nces, without regard to the name it may be or ought to bo culled, it should lie 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 iu order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate means, and those sobuld be given while giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection with it, alien occasion requires, as they will then more readily uet, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary timo will then be lost. As tho Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 cull all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with the firHt dose, or soon after, aud should it fail to operate in duo timo, repeat the dose; if attended with diurrlueu, give something known to be good for flat cillniillinl, Ihmuill if causu.l liy irrilabililji the “ Fluid will soon relieve that condition; if Bevero local pain or iutluuimution, apply some stimulating liniment a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter lierbs! or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, nkin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “ tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits ami water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi ciuo iu taking effect, after which there will be uo trou blo; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics aud stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tlie patient Ims 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 geutlo emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the Fluid” ami a cathartic if necossary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “Fluid” lit tlie same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have Been, and then you will lie astonished at tho ease with which you can control all fobrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, &c\, as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a tow of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— lat hurtles. Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such os castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autibilioiis, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act outlie liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tlie articles depended on by tho different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection witli the “Fluid” or while tlie system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, him* mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice amt be suc cessful. Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringent*.—Such us check the action of the bowels. Liudainuu und 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 the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the esseuces are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry ill treating levers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “ dia phoretic, “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “ sedative than known i„ the materia moC, “ shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on Hie results of u trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the PacUetship Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates • Wo. the undersigned, certify to the following viz— Wetook passage on the packetshlp Duchess d’Orleans C*Pt Hutton, then lying iu the port of Havre, France’ anil bound lor New York.

I riMIKSE diseusesare common to many localities of tho X United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, Last or West, they ull equally spring from tlie same ruiasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms aud forms of disease is owing principally to difference in ago, sex, constitution ami habits of the sufferers; hut as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield ton remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. liy the laws of Nature, every principle hue its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tlie same in character aud effect; is a poi son floating iu 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, ottered to the public, The Nnt m ill Antidote to Malaria, whirl] neutralizes the poison whenever it conns in con tact with it, even in the open air, und when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it ol its baneful influence, aud thus restores and preserves health. Tlie remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known to any hut the proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie 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 tlie direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; tlie patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unloss subsequent ex[msure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve ull 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 the administration of other rnede cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague liiuy be banished from every family and class iu the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may lie using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pui sne their respective avocations in perfect safety fromugiieur bilious attacks during tho sickly season, which is often to them the most valuablo part of tlie year. Since the introduction of the 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 date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague nr bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, &c. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse tiian the diseuse they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to tlie poor sufferer's first complaint. On this account ague 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 Harmlessne**, Tlie following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists m the United States lias been obtained, amt a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Khodes’ Fever and Aguo Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either iu it, uor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JAMES K. 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 the tukiug of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuablo as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the ono under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one uni the sumo cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect tliomsclvos by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent Httack. Take tho Cure as u preventive, and so destroy tlie poison before it does harm. Full directions aud advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany eacli bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine liy a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tho stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or thero is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution- —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tlie medicine, and also tlio air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is cva*|>rated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained iu tlie ajiartuicnt. This mode of exhibiting the Curo should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tlie glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tho signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual xierits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. I, For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS A CO., February 10, 1856. ly Druggists.

One reason it has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I bad one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. !44 Bottles Perform 24 Cures.

We remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS A ALLEN. 19 Bottles Perform 19 Cures. LETTER FROM A. POSTMASTER. Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19, 1855. Mr. J. A.

Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855. Dr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —Your Cure for tlie Fever aud Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining. 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 Isthniu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th • different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal t . grew worse until I commeuced tlie use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur m-tdicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of putting medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, tliut Win. N. ltcwe, 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, lloemsboro, Ml. Sept. 4. Evidence from n Clergyman. Plymouth. Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir — I cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman hero 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 the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been iu 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 lias 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. HAY’LES. 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, Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to 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 even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will he noticed that tho letters of which I publish su h immense quantities are always uew and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, aud prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sule than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of tlie 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 tlie United States would ever have a single attack of Fever anil Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick und 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.
