Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the lirst 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 at the time it is first adminis tered. As tliis remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used sixrn ufter the attack, persons can 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 consequence—it would have passed oft’ with out anything—that medicine had nocffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts uot unlike the übove follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully realize Hie truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet pertous, though they have been flius successful in periiaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cuscs occur where there is some organic or local causo so great as to require yau-tioular attention, or though successful-in reducing the fever, it will agitill rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, as tiie exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that I have given and frequently refer to what I have culled a “synopsis.’’ fit-marks on. Fevers in General* Un tills subject 1 wish to be fully understood. By the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the linman frame is subject, Including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they uriso by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and liuuits, 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 the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less u natural fre quency in tho pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To snow that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from tho celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, Loudon, whose work on the “Princi ples and Practice of physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently slandardauthority. On page 834, he says •“ Wo hear continually, both in and out of tlie profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By tlie public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to tlie full as particular: Mucous Fevor, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-Entoric, null so forth. Now, admitting Unit fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded tiiut the effect upon tlie mind of all this sub-division, is hod and hurtful, it encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its nume. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each other, uvon thu most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to tite same cause.” The above is a great tact, one worthy of remembrance and I would imprest on your minds tlie folly of limiting up or troubling yom self about a “j lame;’’ if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you wiU lie well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to be properly named by tlie most scientific. Tills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or Visions of mind, but on experience at tlie bed side of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from ull thread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as eases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, cither by neglect, or Under some othor treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to lie pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though tlie “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Kales important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Klectric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may lie sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. l’atients must bo free from all currents of air, (thougli thero should always bo free ventilation in tlie sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must !>o continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be tlie ease under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should uot bo questioned as 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, induce them to rise or speak: nor should any conversation be allowed in their Hearing, in which they may feel more or loss interested, tail bo left quiel to all intents and purpoo3. sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. Bth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying post tiro, so as to occasion a restlessness after tho fever 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 some other stimulant; orthefacoand breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF HOSES. For childroti of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 16 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30 “ “6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60 “ “ “ 8 “ 16 half to a teaspoonful. All poisons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is u common dose. Old persons do uot require as much us young, or tluise in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given tlie above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing tho above directions, tlie medicine will be found agreeable iu all of its effects, the expectations of tho most •■auguine realized, ami many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that tho full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and not on account of auy actual necessity ol such strict ob servances. Miltons or Remittent Fever. Give a teaspouful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oft'; this constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iu tlie “Rules.” But should there bo prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any case the b ovals are particularly constipated or confined, give a . it hart to (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must lie opened or tlie fever may rise again. Where tlie fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the Influence of medicine—not easily operated on bv medicine geuerally—a double dose, or two teuspoousful may be given at lirst with advantage, and even repeated in two hours —if it—tlie pulse—has not been softened thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Batliiug tlie suvfuee with water at an agreeable temperature, the sultan wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult rim*, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking Congestive Fever. Give two teaspoonsful ami repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued ns the fever subside). As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to got medicine to o|H>rate in tills disease, no time should be lost to get them open, give some active’ cathartic with the “ Fluid” and ropeut as may be neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections'! may also bo used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel: also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may lie added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grad, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low friers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still I comparatively little, as they froquontlv run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. , The treatment should be commenced—wlileh iuav immediately follow- any c'ler without detriment—wttii a teaspoonful of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued Mice iu six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In laid cases, from three to five grains each of quinine and capsicum. (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The bowels should bo kept gently open, and small ]*ortioiis of some hepatic should lie given occasionally, even thougli tlie bowels should be very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and miicilagenous drinks—such as are in 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 la- used during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or “Winter Fever. Give a teuspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bones* t; or half tlie quantity may he given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The horn-set tea should be given warm till tlie violent symptoms arc allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard piaster, or something of tlie kind, to lie applied over the seat of pain; keep tlie bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, ltubeola and Scarla tina* or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measlca, and Scarlet Fever. Ah all of these diseases are attended with fever, wliieli in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, tlie treatment differs hue little from that ol common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or tho olJiur, or neither, as they all commence with freer, hut treat it at once; govern tho fever and there will be no trouble; there will bv bid Little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew id‘-a, anil doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make tlie assertion, tiial small pox, if treated as J direct, will be cut short; attended witli but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, hntu l Unit I hold most dear; bcsld-s, on this subject, I have gfcod authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874; “You may abate tlie force of tlie eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, &c.” Here is tlie admission that it may lie done. L nave not only proven it may tut, but has been done in numerous eases that occurred on board ship. Fee tlie account appended. •live aXeaspoonhil or more, according to tlie urgency oi the case, with a dose of sails rn- cwtV.r ,31; repeat tlie Fluid uiipe.in tw*..ra it necessary, until the fever sub sides—toough one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it. Should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When tiio throat is affected, any ol’ liio ordinary gargles may lie used, and tlie surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship lluchesHd’Orleuns, the tongue and fuueus were so much swollen that tlie patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given in teuspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.— Used to wet tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Oiilfllbeil Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need 1m entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should bo re ported as long as the fver continues,’ as in other cases. The bowels of course should lie attended to. in connection witli this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tlie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of tlie happy effect of tlie Fluid iu many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will Mo relieved ut ouce by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in abort, it is one of tho most convenient and effectual remedies for many of tho ills of females, if uot tlie most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and i inability of tlie nervous as well ius the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth aud quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in ho many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment us much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called tever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may be or ought to he called, it should bo giv en 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. When such indicatiouH occur iuuny case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then bo lost. As the ‘,Fluid” aloue will sub due tlie fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. if tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give some tiling known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inllnmmutioii, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter 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 tlie feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature: “tlii‘ saline wash,” vinegar ami wt*a, ... spirits ami water, either win -awa great relief mid aid tlie medi .me iff taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated: also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must bo allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do any good; lor this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie stomach lias settled, give tho “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho “Fluid” lit the same time as directed, anil success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will bo 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. I have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, ami to lie fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cat liart lea.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibiliuus, Ac.; anything know n to be good for such purposes. licpnticN.—Anything known to act on tho liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tho articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. Ami one may choose calomel —another, blue mass—the third, podopliyllln—tlm fourth, mandrake root, ami so on; each may take liis choice and bo suc cessful. Tonics,—Articles thatgive tone or strength, such a* quinine, various bajks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone sec or tliorougliwort is one of the host used in fevers. Astrliigi'iita.—Such as check the action of tho bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have tile effect. Stimulants.—Articles that faise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of tite best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or loss stimulating. These are tlie only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are genernilv used, hut tlie Negative Electric Fluid is a better” dia phoretic,’’ •• anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and ” sedative” than known in tlie materia medico. I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on the results of a trial, ami will only refer to one instance of success, that outlie Paekstshl|i Duchess D’Ot-Icans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz \\ e took passage on tlie packctship Duchess d’Orleans, Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France, and bound for New York. Flic sailed on the oth of Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred s, nls on board, mostly 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. X. W. Seat, witli anew remedy ofhis own, which lie calls .Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to Uavo entire control over tlie disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in a very short time. During tlie voyage, which lasted thirty-uino days, there were about eighty eases of small pox, some fever. Ac., and not a single death. All were enrol with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by l>r. Scat on the oc casion. possesses inestimable virtues.

LAHIA 014 MIFVSMFV. riMIES 10 diseases are common to many localities of the 1 United Slates; but Wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from tho same miasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Ily the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating iu the atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing tho unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, off ered to the public, Tire Natural Autiilote to Malaria, which tmulrnUz’ s the poison Whenever it comes in eon tail with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful inllueuce, and tints restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to lie entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : 11 will instantly check the ague *■ who have suffered for any or 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 the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison iu the system, it. will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility ami Niglit Sw eats, which so often follow the administration of other mode 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 aud class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may bo 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 tlie most valuable part of tlie year. Since the introduction of tho CURE in every part of tho United States, its success has 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 tlie most candid minds, because all (lie 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, Salicine, Ac. The 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 tho 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 on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Wortliy of Public Cimfidcnce, Because of its Singular and Entire Ifarmlessness, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in tlie United States has been obtained, aud a copy of it is attached to every bottle : New A’ork, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever anil 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 the 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 disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one and tlie same cause, and therefore all, botli residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking iu their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the 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 climato now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to preende this medi cine by a mild cathartic or nntimlious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of ’ Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach ami free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or tlie operation of the antidote will bo seriqnsly ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or nioro bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates.) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tlie medicine, mul also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise lie resorted to when very young infants are exposed lo malarious situations. The 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 the 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 bo considered sufficient.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been tome. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Istlmni if Panama, several months since, and -iu spite of th ■ different remedies aud treatment I adopted, my heal i. grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chili, and am new in the enjoyment of good health.

This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in briuging it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Ml. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without auy per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and has not hail a chili 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. Monticei.lo, lnd.. Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in tlie 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. 11.. Ga., Jau. 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. 1 shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. HAYLES. 1 f any body desires farther evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced us rapidly as possible into every town and village in tho United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence, ft 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 be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that tho 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. The Croivnlug 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 sous, not a man woman or child in tlie United States would ever have a single attack of F’ever aud Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or auy form of disease arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cu re is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving now 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.
