NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, ! Prepared ty N< W. Seat, M. D. Reasons why it should be uaeil instead of uny other treat ment in all Febrile affections: l*t.-Ecouomy of Time. —As only one-seventh of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. /£d.—Fcouomy of Money. —As it c sts but one dollar. 3rd. — Economy of Keeling.— As it saves the sutlornig of a long sickness and tho consequent treat ment; tile annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of tong confinement; but littlo of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. lt)>,— Economy of Thought. —As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting l'obriloaffections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. Sth. — Economy of Health.— As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor Is the fover subject to he followed by chronic disease. tills.— Economy of Life. —As the cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, ail danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might ho lidded, hut those are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. Tho alMjvo reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on tho first attack, but will apply with equal force to cusos which huve been subject ed to or have becomo reduced, corresponding of courso •o the nature of the cuse at the time it is first adminis tered. As tlds remedy gives so prompt, effectual uud perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they hud boon really much sick, and very naturally conclude they were not attacked with fever, and 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 inedicluo had nocffect.” The general impression on tho subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike tho above follow the cure of a common case as naturally us men think at all ; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many eases tlmt he can fully realize the truth; and oven then he may conclude them ull very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have 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 ns to require particular attention, or though success ifll in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of tho “ Fluid” posses off', as tho exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in suen cases that I have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called n “ synopsis.” llcmarks ou Fevers in General* On this subject I wish to be fully understood, lly tho term “fevers,” 1 comprehend nil febrile affections to which the humuu frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but us they arise by a great variety-of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished liy the same general character istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am net wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from the celebrafed Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, whoso work on tho “Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. Ou page 834, he says:—“Wo hear continually, both iu aud out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. lly 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, (histro-Entcric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I aui persuaded that tho effect upon tho mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages u disposition, already too prevalent, to pro scribe for a disease according to its mime. Thero is no line of genuine distinction between continued levers, that can be relied on. They mil insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Tho above is a groat fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, uud you will be well instead of any distiuctcharactcr being devel oped, so as to be properly named by tho most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at tho bed side of tho sick, in hundreds, nyo, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a groat 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 all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers, but as coses may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ ilulcs” and “ Synopsis” will be 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. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, aud may bo sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must he freo from all currents of air, (though there thould always bo free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about wlillo under its in fluence. 3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the caso under any circumstances. 4th. When tho fever begins to subside, patiouts must lie left perfectly quiet; freo from nil excitement; should not bo questiouod as to their wauts or feelings, uor attempt to converse, rend or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all i™ ueous influences, iriduce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may fool more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents aud purposes. sth. F’luids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long os the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any siinplo decoctions, or teas, either cold or worm, as partlos may prefer or patients desire. fitli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fover lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should liuvo a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulaut; or the faro anil breast may be bathed iu cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 aud uuder 2 years, “ 6to 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 6 “ -2 to 30 “ “ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoouful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor fomalos, us a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of ugo frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, I have given tho above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in pro|x>rtiou. By observlug the above directions, the uicdirino will be found agreeable In all of its effects, the expectations of tile most sanguine realized, uud many perfectly astonished. My object iu beiug thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. llllioii* or Remittent Fever. Uive a toasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) ouee in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes tlie whole treatment iu all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the “ Rules.” But should there bo prominent local symp toms, or kuown local existing causes, they should bo attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.” Bec Synopsis. If in any case the b uels are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with tho first portion; they mutt be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patieut is not particularly susceptible to tho influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may be giveu at first witli advantage, and even repeated iu two hours—if it —the pulse—lias not been softened, thus showing tho medicine lias taken effect. Bathing the surface with water ai an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, lu these difficult cases, will afford relief ami aid the medicine much in tnkiug effect. Congestive Fever. Give two toaspoonsful nnd repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full aud soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subsidoi. As the bowels are generally confined, aud it is frequently very difficult to get medlcluo to operate in this disease, uo time should be lost to get them open, give some active’ cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat as may be neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also bo used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubblngl with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to tho “ Fluid” If thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship nnd Putrid or Spotted Fever. At these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, lasing all of a low grade, 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 fevers, when 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 ilnvs will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—which mav immediately follow any other without detriment— with a teaspoonful of •• Fluid 1 ’ every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued mce in six or eight hours Ull the fever entirely subsides In bad 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 be kept gently open, aud small portions of some licjMXtic should bo given occasionally, even though tlie bowels should be very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous 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 boused during convalescence, in ail cuses which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lang or Winter Fever. Uive a teaspoouful of the “ Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-gbmsiul of a strong decoction of boucset; or half tho quantity may be giveu every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours. The boneset tea should bo given warm till the violeut symptoms aro allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over tho seat of pain; keep tho bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with lever, which iu fact is the most prominent symptom, tlie 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 tieat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will be but little eruption even iu small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make tiio assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, wilt be cut short; attended with but little erup tion ; little or no pitting, aud that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. Un this I will stake not only my reputation, bnt all that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of I’rof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: “ You limy abate tlie force of tlie eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, tho number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tliat it may lie doue. 1 navo not only proven it may be, but has been done ill numerous cases that occurred ou board ship. .See the account ap;>ended. (Jive a teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency of tlie case, with a dose of suits or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until tlie fever sub sides—‘.hough one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient; hut it should he giveu and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue aud fuucus were so much swollen that tho patient could not swallow or speak, aud he was cured by dropping the FTuid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, whan ii was given iu teaspoouful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— ÜBed to wet tlie threat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. l'uerperal 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 be of littlo consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoouful, almost invariably giving eutiro 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 iu other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In comiectiou with this subject, I cannot retrain 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 tho happy effect of tlie Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing aud soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of Us pains and difficulties; it must be 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 so of any medicino 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 aud 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 for ull cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and 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 he ramoved in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur iuany case, they should bo appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving the “ Fluid,” ami in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides uo unnecessary time will then be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the 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 wit Ii diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “ Fluid” will soon roliove that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, pci imps, cloths wet in cold water, to tlie part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet iu hot water; if tiio fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surfaeo with water at an ngrooabio temperature; “tlie saliwe -wivtu,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief aud aid tlie medi cine in taking effect, alter which there will be uo trou ble ; if the patieut lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tho patient has become re duced; if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain ou the stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach ; warm water, if giveu plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tho stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” ami a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho “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 case 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 w hat is used. 1 have found uo sucli necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cathartics.— Articles that purge or operate ou tlie bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.: anything known to be good for such purposes. Ilcpatics.— Anything known to act on tho 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 with tlie “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. Aud one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyUin—the fourth, maudrake root, and so on; each may tako his choice aud be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, Bitch as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or tiioroughwort is one of tlie best used iu fevers. Astringents.—Snob as check the actiou of tho bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. Stimulants. —Articles that raise or excite tho system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more or less Stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally fitted, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bet'er “dia phoretic.*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than knowu in the materia medica. I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on tho Packet slitp Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinarv certificates’ We, tho undersigned, certify to the following viz— ” e took passage ou the paeketsliip Duchess d’Orleans Onpt Hutton, then lying in tlie port of Havre, France’ nnd bound for New York. She sailed ou the 9th of Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the smafl pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all treated by tlie physician in charge. Dr. N. W. Seat witli anew remedy of his own, which Tie calls Negative ’ Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control over tlie disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing iu a very short time. s During tho voyage, which lasted thirtv-nino dnvs. there were about eighty cases of smnll pox, some fever Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passugc, we aro fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues.

Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure; Ou Antidote to Malaria; FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; btmib Ague, und other Intermittent aud Keinitteut Fevers; also of Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp toms ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night Sweats, and all other forms of disease WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN MALARIA Oil MIA.SMA. rpiIESE diseases are common to many localities of the J. United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from the same miasmal cause. The great variety ofsymptoms aud forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and hubits 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 tliat cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias 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 Murslies, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character aud effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe it. lu accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to tho public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, whicli neutralizes the poison whenever it comes iu con tact with it, even iu tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies tlie system affected by it of its baneful influence, aud thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely uew, and un known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly cheek tlie ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by coutiuning 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 in the system, it will immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tlie accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other mede cines. Tlie patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, nnd continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may bo using this arti cle as a Preventive, Aud pursue their 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 tlie introduction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions iu favor of its extraordinary merit. YVUen these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they aecnied incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources cf science had been taxed iu vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse lor ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, sucli as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects ire superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On 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 he 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 Harmlcssness, Tlie following certificate from one of tho most celebrated chemists in tlie United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle : New Y'ork, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition tliat 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 the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. Tlie 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 tlie one under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases beiug produced by oue un i tlie samo 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 their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Tako tiio Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions aud advice as to diet aud habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often lie 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 tlie stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —Iu certain specified cases, pour the coutents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for tho vapor rising from tlie medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid i9 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 the Cure 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, “RHonss’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tiio glass, and ou the outside wrapper is the name of tho medicino, (the 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 be considered sufficient.

Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 21 Dottles Perform 24 Cures. Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Tho box of “Ague Cure” you scut us has all been sold and created a large demand for more; to meet which we have ordered from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.

We remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS A ALLEN. 19 Dottles Perform 19 Cures. LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER. Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your medicine lias met witli the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I have about fivo bottles left. I give it to them at first, ‘if no cure no pay,’ although I was not authorized by you to do so; but I took the responsibility ou myself.— But not a bottle lias come back, and as 1 am almost out of tlie article I wish you w'ould forward me one gross of the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I wall be punctual in payment. 1 inclose fifteen dollars on tlie medicine I have received, for which please send me a receipt.

Pine Run, .Mich., July 21, 1855. Dr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever and 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, LATIIROP A 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 Isthmn if Panama, several months since, and in 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 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 be fouud an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” Wo are not in the habit of pulling medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of tlie afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Shnrpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias 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 Fcllmv, Boonsboro, Mil. 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 any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of tlie Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got ahottle 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. Bhodes —Dear Sir—l have been iu the practice of Medicine here for about tlireo 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 in its sale. YV. A. lIAYLES. 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. It. 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 tiie Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish su li 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. Tlze Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two (luring tlie warm and sickly sea. sons, not a man woman or child in tlie United States would ever have a singlo attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tins atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie Cure is n perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shuttered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
