NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared ly N. VV. Beat, M. D. Reasons why it should bo used instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affections : 1 t.‘--Economy ul’ Timt>—Ah only tme-ssvtnlh of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. ‘dd<—Bi oiiiim)’ of Money.—Ah it c 4* but one dollar. 3rd. — Economy of Keeling— Ah it saves the eulluriug of a loin; sickncHH and the consequent treat ment; tile annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, anil that pleasant in its effects. 4th. — Economy of Thought. As when Known, It will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while u dear friend is sick. sth. — Economy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. Oth.— Economy of Life. —As the curs is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might he added, hut these arc deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons in ull condi tions id’ life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course •o the nature of the case lit the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual nml perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize tiiat they had lieon really much sick, and very naturally conclude they wers not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could liavo been nothing of consequence—it would have passed oft with out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow tile euro of u common case as naturally u.s men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many eases that lie can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would havo readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they Jmvo been thus successful In perhaps hundreds of cases, must ■ expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success.ul in reducing the fever, it will ngaiu rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment 111 suen cases tiiat i have given and frequently refer to what I have called a“• synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers in General* On tliis subject 1 jvisli to be fully understood. Ily the term “ fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that ol undue excitement in tho circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To siiow that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from tho celebrated 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 standard authority. On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in mid out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to tho full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-liiiteiic, and so forth. Now, admitting tiiat fever allows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that tho effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a diseaso according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress oil your minds tho folly of limiting up or troubling yourself about a “name;’’ if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, aud you will be well instead of any distincteharacter being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by the mo. - scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at tho bod sido of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Boar this in mind, and treat at once wituout regard to name, aud rest assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as enses umy have be come developed before tho “Fluid” is given, either by uoglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible llie proper course to be pursued in all of tho most prominent fevers, though the “ ltules” und “ Syuopsis” will ho amply sufficient for nil those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Hides important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should he given iu three or four times its own quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, l though there should always bo free ventilation in tlie sick room,) nor attempt to go about wlillo under its in fluence. 3d. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to ho resinned when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fevor begins to subside, patients must bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, rend or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural fee’ independent of all extra neous influences, induct, them to riso or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may fed more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long us the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple dococtio*- ;, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. tith. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so us to occasion a restlessness alter the lover has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or somo other stimulant; or tho fare aud breast maybe bathed in cold water; cither 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 years, “ sto 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30 “ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60 “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a toaspoonfui. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common doso. Old porsons do not requite as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular caro necessary iu giving it to children—those of ten yours of age frequently having taken full doses; Imt for a little guide, 1 have given tho above table, with the remark that, as u general rule, children require more than adults iu proportion. By observing tho above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable iu all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being tluis particular is, tiiat the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, ami not ou account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent Fever. Hive a teaspouful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oil'; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple eases of fever, with such observances as nre set forth iu the “Rule*.” But should there bo prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” geo Synopsis. If in any case the b revels are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise Again. Where tho fever Is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, ami the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two tcnspoonafttl may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated iu two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been Softened, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at au agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief ami nid tho medicine tuueli in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two tonspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full Slid soft, then only a ten spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subsidei. As the bowels arc generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no time should Vie lost to get them open, give some active’ cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat us may lie neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to tho head. Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. Fee Synopsis Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship anil Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly In degree, being all of a low grade, the pu)4 small and wiry, with a general great depression, there Is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as mv treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, wheu fully developed, a little patience will be required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few davs will l>e necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should lie commenced—which mav immediately follow any other without detriment with a teaspoonftil of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes ftillsr or larger in volume, theu to be continue*! nice in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides In had cases, from three to five grains each of quinine and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tunic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose, ihe bowels should he kept gently open, aud small portions of some hepatic, should bo given occasionally, even though tho bowels should lio very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing arid muoilageuous drinks —such as are in common use in such cases.— Wfrere tlie skill is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, In ail rases which havo become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneamonls, Lung or W inter Fever. Give a toaspoonfui of tho “ Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glasslul of a strong decoction of honeset; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours. Tho honeset tea should bo given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something oi the kind, to lie applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Kubeola und Scarla tlnu; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet. Fever. As all of these dis uses are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs Imo little from that of common fevers. Kemeuiber never wait to learn the ‘•name.,’’ whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern tho fever and there will be no trouble; there will be bid little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be. cut short; attended with hut little erup tion; little or no pitting, anil that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this l will stake not only my reputation, bntu!l that t hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; tiiat id’ Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 374: “ You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission flint it may be done. 1 nuve not only proven it maybe, but hus been done in numerous cases tiiat occurred ou board ship, tree tlie account appended. Given teaspooaful or more, according to the urgency of the cu.se, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. W hen the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and tlie surface batlied, us thought advisable. In one case, on the slop Duchess d’Orleuus, the tongue and fuucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swnllow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till ail alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in 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 malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he of. little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspuonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection witli this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general 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 iu muuy of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most soofauy medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility of tho nervous as well as tho circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli and quiet the system so that one cun 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, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue aud control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be 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. Wheu such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, ns they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then he lost. As tho ‘.Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 cull all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (seo auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended “ith diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid'’ will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe tho foot in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or name the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will bo no trou ble ; if tlie patient lias been reduced or isjnuch prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient lias becomo 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; wh.n the stomach has settled, give tho “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary; in short, .rent all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “ Fluid” at the 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. Auxtltarie*. 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 no such necessity when using tlie Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of tho different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cat linrt lcs.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autibiliuus, Ac.; anything know a to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*. —Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any* of tlie articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tho “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may c1...05e calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take Ids choice and be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots aud bitter herbs. Bone set or thoroughwort is one of the best used iu fevers. Astringent*.—Such as check the action of tho 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 (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Ac., the essences are all more or less Stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry ill treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better •■dia phoretic/’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in the materia mediea. I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Packet*Ltp Dnchess D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: Wo, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz— We took passage on the paeketsbtp Dnchess d’Orleans, Capt Hutton, then lying iu the port of Havre, Franco and bound for New York. She sailed on the oth of Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mnstlv emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among tlie emigrants, They were all treated by tlie physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Beat, with anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it in a sow hours, amt curing in a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine davs, then* were about eighty eases of small pox, some fever Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat ou tho oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. Wo never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much case, promptness aud certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

No Poison! j Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure; Ou Antidote to Malaria ; FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE Ot Fever aud Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, aud other Intermittent ami Remittent Fevers; also of Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid fcyuip tons; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night .Sweats, und all other forms of disease WHICH lIAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN malaria or miasma. ft Mi ESE diseases arc common to many localities of the J United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, Fiast or West, they all equally spring from the same niiasmal cause. The great variety oi symptoms aud forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; -but as tlie cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle has 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 and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is the same in character and effect; 1 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 the preparation before us, offered to tlie public, TUc Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purilies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, aud un known to any but tho proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : it will instantly eherlc the ague iu 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 bo effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon tlie poison in tlie system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or uguc diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility ami Niglit Sweats, which so often follow’ tlie administration of other mede cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever aud Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and ail laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue tlieir respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since Ihe introduction of the CURE in every part oi’ tho 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 ihe resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat 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, Salicinc, 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 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 tlie Remedy is not only valuable oil account of its power to cure diseases, but (hat it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular aud Eniire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “1 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 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tlie human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing 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 diseaso is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one auj the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in tlieir 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 clunatanow accompany each Dottle. it will often bo 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 tho stomach and free tho biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there 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 the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and plaeo them in sleeping rooms ; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tho 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 tho glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name nf the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tho signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance tor its success is entirely upon its ACTUAL merits, wherever introduced and used. Tlieso will be considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. I. For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1866. ly Druggists.

Truly yours, LATHBOP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Sir. Janies 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 tli • different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal :.grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur midicine 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 he found an advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not ia the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the affiicted, that 5Vm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sliarpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us tiiat he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and wo take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellmu, Hoonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Uliio, Sept. 25, 1855. 51r. J. A. Rticneo, —Dear Sir —1 cheerfully testify to tne value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure 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 n Physician. Monticei.lo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of sledicine r here lor 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 lias 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 inits sale. W. A.IIAYLES. 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 nil, and it will be noticed thnt the letters of which 1 publish su li immense quantities arc always new mid late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, anil prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever at tended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory of the Cure is its 11AR5ILE8S CHARACTER, which allows its tree use as a preventive. Thus protected liy 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 tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick und permanent effects ns 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.
