NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared by N. VV. Seal, M. D, Reason* wlij it should bo used Instead of any other treat ment iti ull Febrile affections: , 1 HiKcuuoiity of Time.— Am only one-seventh of the ordinary time i required to effect a cure. :td...Ecouomy of Money. —As it c ists but one dollar. 3rd.—Economy of Feelliig.-A* it saves the suffering of a lons sickuexs and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long conlineinent; hut little of the fluid being necessary, Hus that pleasant in Its effects. 4tli— Economy i > Thought. —As when known,‘it will remove ail dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections', particularly while u dear friend is sick. SUtr-Bcsnoiuy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to lie followed by chronic disease. Otti. — Economy of Life. —As thecure Is effected before and without reducing the patient, Consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a lutal termination. 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 tho immediate treatment on the iirst attack, but will apply with equal force to eases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the case at tho time it Is lirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used noon after the att.ck, persons can scarcely realize that they hud been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they wora not attacked with fever, and if so, *‘it was trifling - -a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothin of consequence-—lt would have passed off with out anything—that medicine iiad noeffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally us men think at ull; and It is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them ull very trilling cases, which would havo readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have lieen 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 iu reducing the fever, It will again rise as the influence of the “ fluid” passes off', an tho exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in suen cases that J have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers In General* Uu this subject 1 wish to ho fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive levers; but as they ucise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar consUtulions and habits, tin y of course differ considerably ill their development ami exhibit a variety of forms or typos; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that ol undue excitement iu the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency iu the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, id’ King’s College, London, whose work on tho “ Princi ples and Practice of I’hysic” is a text hook in many of our medical col legos, and consequently standard authorit y. Un page 831, lie says;—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By tlie public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, ,4c. And systematic writers ure to tho full as particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Knteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is had ami hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for it disease according to Us inline. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can ho relied OH. They run insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you will, In’, mil instead of any diatinetcharuotor being devel oped, so us to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, blit on experience at tlie bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) uuder a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, ami treat at once without regard to u*n*i, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all ibabul of linger ’ iiig 1111,1 dangerous fevers. But as cases may havo be come developed before the ‘'Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or uuder some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the must prominent fevers, though tho “ Rules” mid “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. A’ tiles important to be, observed in all cases in winy the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, mid may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of air, (though there should always be freo ventilation in the Hick room.) nor attempt to go alsmt while under its in ti ueuce. 3d. li must he continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing oil'; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such he the ease under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; freo from all excitement; should not lie questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, rend or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural fee t ‘ oys, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should ally conversation be allowed in their hearing, ill which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quloi to all intents ami purposes. iitli. Fluids should he allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of eold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. flth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tlie lying posture, so as to occasion u restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have u little vine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspeonlul is a common dose. Uld persons do not ’ require a much as young t those in the prime of life, nor females, as a general rule, as much us males. Tie'to is no particular care necessary iu giving it to children —those of ten years of age frequently lutving taken full do s; bat for a little guide, .1 have given tlie above table, with me remark that, ns a general rule, children require more loan adults in proportion. By observing the abovo directions, tlie medicine will be fouud agreeable in all of its effects, tlie expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. Mv object ill being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the nn diciue may be obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Hilton* or Remittent Fever. (live a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tlie fever is evidently pussing off; this constitute , iho whole treatment iu all simple cases of fever, with such observances us are bet forth in tlie ” Rules.” But should there lie prominent local symp toms, or kuowti local existing causes, they should be attended to it ouce, and while giving the “Fluid.” Bee Syne, .-is.

Cnngtitive Fever. Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till tho pulse becomes more full and soft, then onl> a tca spoonful. to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As the bowels are generally confined, and it is fr< queutly very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no tim< diould lie lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may lie neces sary till It operates: enemas (injections) may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction(rabbin., > with the lumds or flannel: also, cold applications to the head. Quiuiue may lie added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. Bee Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Blitip and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing maiuly in degree, being 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 mv 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 days will he necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—wliieli may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of “Fluid” every two hours, Jill the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued 1 mce in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. la bod cases, from three to live grains each ol quinine i and capsicum (Cayunue pepper) or some tonic and stimu- j lant(leeauxiliaries) khould be added to each dose, the bowels should bo kept gently open, and small portions : of Some hepatic should be given occasionally, even though flic bowels should be very loose. The patient should lie sustained by nourishing and mucilggenous 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 be used during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, TypLold Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. (Jive a teaspoon fill of the “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or half the quantity may bo given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The honeset tea should bo given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of tho kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep tho bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Ilubeola and Scarlu tiuat or .Small Pox, Varioloid, Meawles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Ketnember never wait to learn the •■name,” whether it is one or the oilier, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no trouble; there will be bid little eruption even iu small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, ami doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will be cut sluirt; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, ami that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. Un this f will stake uot eiily my reputation, bnt all that I held most dear; besid', on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, mid keep down, it is believed, the nitmlur oj the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Hero is the admission that it may lie done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board ship. Bee the account append'd. - Give a teaspoonlill or more, according to tlie urgency of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; hut it should bo given 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, ns thought advisable. In one case, ou tlie ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in übout twelve hour* by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiuess, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire amt per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should bo re peated as long as the lever continues, as in other cases. Tlie bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the tallies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the lmppy effect of tlie Fluid in many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose andretiring. .Restlessness, nervous irritability, or ii cold taken ut a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence Its use In so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue and control It under all circumstances, without regard to tho name it may he or ought to lie called, it should bo given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should he appropriate means, and these sohuld he given while giviug the “ Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As tho •, Fluid” alone will sub due tho fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if euused by irritability, tho “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, upply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, pei hups, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or batho tlie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “ Hie saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief unit aid the medi cine iu taking effect, after which there will he no trou ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give touics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to ilo any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; w arm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; iu short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any oilier circumstances, giving tlie “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, Hud success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astouislied at tlie ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and ;o ho (filly understood by all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cat Hurt leg.—Articles that purge or operate on tho bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, untibilious, Ac.; anything known to he good for such purposes. Hepatic*.— Anything known to act ou the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the artioies 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. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice aud be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tune nr strength, such os quinine, various barks, toots and bitter herbs. Bone se: or thoroughwort is one of the best used iu fevers. Astrlngmls.—Such as check the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. 8 ’ Stiiniilmits.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Am. tlie essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tlie onlv classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a hot’er “ diu phoivtie.” “anodyne,” ‘‘diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in tho materia medlca. 1 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 Packrtslitp Ditches* D'Orlean*. which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to tlie’ following, viz— We took passage on the packeuhip Duchess d’Orleans, Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France, and bound for New York. Slie sailed on tlie 9th of Au gust, 1861. with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated by the 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 hi a few hours, mid curing iu a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever, Ac., and uot a single death. All were cured with nnu sual promptness. From what wo saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by p r . Beat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before board or rend of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the uurse.

Ship and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night Sweats, and all other forms of disease V r lilCli HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN MALARIA OR MIASMA, r IMIKBE diseasesare common to many localities of tho JL United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from the same niiusinul cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution aud 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. By the laws of Nature, every principle bus its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there ia 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 flouting 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 the public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to tiny but the proprietor, wlio distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any lengtli of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical euro will be effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make Its use tiguiu necessary. In its operation upon the poison in 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 Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other inede cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may ho banished from every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CUKE in every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in Silver of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed iucredible to many, even of tlie most candid minds, because all tlie resources of ’ scieuco had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, havo been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, &c. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or givo only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer's first complaint. Un this account ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any Becret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is uot only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Wortliy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Kilt ire Ilarmlessneas, Tho following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle; Nsty York, Juno 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 1 found any substance iu 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 the 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 ono under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves liy the timely use of this preventive, aud not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tlie Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions und advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to-precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or untibilious purgative. Tlie very best thing for geuerul 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 takes or the operation of the antidote will bo seriously ob structed. Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour tlie contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tho medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlie apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is tho name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tho signature of the proprietor. These precautions are takeu to prevent counterfeits and imitations. Tub reliance for its success is entirely upon’ its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient. PreparedOfid sold by tlie proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. I, For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1856. ly Druggists.

I had one ease of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on tlie sixth day well satisfied. Truly vours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 34 Bottles Perform 24 Cures. Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1856. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—The box of “Ague Cure” you sent 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. Its sale will only be equalled by the number of Fever and Ague cases. Hoping these cases may be few, yet have a bottle for every case. IVo remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS & ALLEN.

Khodf.s—Dear Sir—Your medicine has met witli the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I have about five bottles left. I give it to them at first, ‘if no cure no pay,’ although 1 was not authorized by you to do so; but I took the responsibility on myself.— But uot a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out of the article I wish you would forward me one gross of the bottles, if you see proper to do so, mid I will bo punctual in payment. 1 inclose fifteen dollars on the medicine I have received, for which please send me a receipt.

Pise Run, Mich.. July 21, 1855. Dr. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your Cure for tlie 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 tho Cure. Please send us immediately four dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATIIRUP A MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. flftiodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it lias been to me. I was first attacked by cliills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th • different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal l v grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time 1 have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing y jur ui'dicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not i a the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg. who has it for sale, in forms us that lie sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure iu bringing it before the notice of the nublic.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, m. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Uliio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. Oue young’ludy in tlie family of a clergyman here has been tuliiiig 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 tlie same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Y'ours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, ind., Aug. 27, 1355. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure 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. 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 in o every town and village in the United States, Canadas. &c. Tlie eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tlie Fever and Agiu or not, just as they please. 1 call 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 he noticed ttiat the letters of which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till nnv newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie CrowniugGlory of tlie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottlo or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or olilld in tlie United States Would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tho Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life aud strength to all whoso constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility orany kind of intemperance or dissipation.
