IV.BGA.TIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, ! Prtpnred ly N. W. Scat, H> D- Reason* w!iy it should Ihi used instead of any oilier treat- | moot in all Febrile affections: 1 t.-—Economy of Time.— As only one-seventh of the ordinary tiiuu Is required to effect a cure. 4(l<—Economy of Money.—As it cute but one dollar. - ilrd. — Economy of Feellng.--AH it saves the suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance ol taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long courtneinent; but little of the fluid being necessary, ami that pleasant in its effects. 4th. — Economy of Thought. —As when kuowu, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. sth.—Economy of Health. —As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to ho followed by chronic disease. 6th. — Economy of Life. —As the cure is effected beforu and w ithout reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal 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 the immediate treatment on the hrst attack, hut will apply with equal forco to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the case at the time it Is first adminis tered. As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when usisl soon alter the attack, persons can scarcely realise 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 b'-en nothing of Consequence —it would-have passed off with out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above tbllow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and It is not until the Individual has witnessed miiuy eases that lie can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling eases, which should liavo readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they liavo been thus successful In perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will eases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require paiticular attention, or though success.u! in reducing the fever, ft will again rise ns the influence of tlio “ Fluid” passes off, as the 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 a“synop*i*.” Remarks on Fevers lu General* On this subject I wish to he fully understood.’ Ily the term “fevers,’ 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame Is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut us they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions und habits, they of course differ considerably in tlielr development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general ‘ liaracter istlcs—that ol unduo excitement in tiro circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or loss unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that f um not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from tlio euiebrafed Prof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on tlio “Princi ples and Practice of Physio” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard a uUwrity. On page 834, he says;—“Wo hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to thu full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Eutei ic, and so forth. Now, a Induing that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that thu effect upon tlio mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, oven tlio most dissimilar of t horn, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would iiitprasou your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling youi self about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once os hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience ut tlio bed side of ‘tlio sick, in hundreds, nye, 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 lest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases 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 tbe proper course to be pursued in all of tlie most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Hubs important to be. obtervrd in all cases in using the Negative Electric. Fluid. Ist. It should he given ill three or four times its own quantity of water, and may lie sweetened or not at pleasure. ‘2d. Patients must he free from all currents of air, ithough there should always be free ventilation in tho sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must he continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, Bhould such be the ease under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to snbsido, patients must ho left perfectly quiet; free from nil excitement; shuubl not tie questioned ns 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 lie allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, hut lie me*, quid to all intents ami purposes. 6th. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires und 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 desiro. flth. bhould patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after tlio fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should liavo a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or Homo other stimulant; or the face and breast maybe bathed in cold water; cither of which will gtvo immediate relief. TABLE OP DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 aud under 2 years, “ sto 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 6 “ l2 to 30 “ “ “ 5 lO “ 2O to 50 “ 8 “ 15 half to n toaspooiiflil. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children —those of ten years of ago frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given tho above table, with tbe remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. t By observing the above directions, tho medicine will bo found agreeable in ull of its effects, thu expectations of the most sanguine realized, and uiauy perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of tho medicine limy he obtained, and not ou account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Hiltons or Remittent Fever. Give a teasponfnl of •• Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the ” Rules.” Rut should there be promiuout local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to ut once, aud while giving tile “Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any case the h wel* are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic toe auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must he opened or tho fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, aud the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or “two tixispoonsfUl may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated In two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Rathiug tho surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits aud water, In these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two teaapoonsfhl and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside) As tho bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate In tills disease no time should be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat m may be neces sary till it operates; enemas (Injections) niav also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the band* or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be 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, ißffering mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small aud 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 the) frequently run weeks under tlie common treatment, while with this but a few davs will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. * ■ Th< \ ‘"“•ment should l>e commenced—which mnv immediately follow any olber without detriment—with a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” evtry two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to bo oontiuued ncs in six or eight hours Ull tho freer entirely subsides. In bad cases, front three to five grains each of quinine and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic ami stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should Ire added to euc dose, llie bowels should be kept gently open, aud s' u all portions ofsoiuo hepatic should be giveu occat .mnaily, even though the bowels should be very loose . The patient should be sustained by nourishing aud mucilageuous drinks—such as are in common use in such cases. Where tlio skin is very dry, sponging tho surface as di rected in bilious fever, will bo found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cuses which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give a tenspooulul of the “Fluid” evury two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent symptom* arc allayed, or thu patient in relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard planter, or something of the kind, to he applied over the seat ot puiu; keep tho bowels gently Open. Variola, Varioloid, llubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Fox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases ore attended with fever, which ill fort is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs buo little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “ name ,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will be but lUUe eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 4 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be cut short; attended witli but little erup tion; little or no pitting, aud that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, but a:l that 1 hold most dear-; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “ Foil may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, itis believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. Su# the account appended. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency or tlio case, with u dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid untie in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient; but it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may lor used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on tho ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, ami he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gurgle in ail such cases. I*uerj>cral or Childbed Fever. Tills heretofore painful, dangerous und alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, aa to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, us the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should bo re peated as long aa the frver continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should he attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tlie ladies, will save them much puiu aud suffering. It is to inform them of tlie happy effect of tlie Fluid in many of tlielr trials. In chilu-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— l’aiuful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon doso and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of tbe most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing ull excitability and iritability of the nervous ns well as the circulatory. It will not l'orco sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally aud 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 hendgenerul directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, aud these sohuld bo given while giving tlie “ Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, us they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lest. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first itose, 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 caused by Irritability, tho “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of letter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in iiot water; if tlio lever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi cine in taking effect, after which there will h <* *—*- ble; if tlio iiatumt u— ‘ —— .ouuoeu or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tlie patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any goad; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will auswer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the •• Fluid” at tho 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 ut the ease w ith 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 ivhat is used. 1 have found ho sueh necessity when using tlie Fluid, and to lie fully understood by all I will name a tew of the different articles of modi* cine 1 have referred to, viz;— Cathartic.*.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senua, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, iintiliilious, Ac.; anything known to be goodforsuch purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by tho 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, podopkyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and he suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such US quinine, various barks, roots ami hitter herbs. Rone bc; or thorough wort is one of tlie best used in fevers. Astringent*.—Such as check the action of tho bow els. Isiudanum and other preparations of opium are used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. Stimulant—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more oi le>s stimulating, lheseare the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is u better “dia phoretie,” “anodyne,” ‘‘diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in the materia medico. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending inAinly on the results of u trial, and will’ only refer to one instance of success, that on the Packet ship Ouches* O’Orlcan*. w hich cannot be classed amoug ordinary certificates • We, tlie undersigned, certify to the following, viz— ” 0 took passage on the paeketship Duchess d’Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France and bound for New York. She sail,si on the 9th of Au gust, 1851, with over a bundled souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the email pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all treated try the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, with anew remedy of his own. which he calls Negative ’ Elec tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control Over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in a very short time.

No Poison! j Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure; Or Antidote to Malaria ; FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE Os Fever aud Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and j other Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also ot | Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Si mp tons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night Sweats, and all other forms oi disease WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN MAIiAIUA OH MZ2ESBCA. riMIKSK diseases are common to many localities of the _l_ Lnitcd States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, Lust or West, they all equally spring from the same miasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms aud forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as tlie cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or 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 lauds, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing tlio unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tho preparation before us, offered to the public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes tlie poison whenever it conics in con tact with it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected bv it of its baneful influence, and thus restore* and preserves health. The remedy Is believed to be entirely new, und un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the 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 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 tlie poison in llie 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 and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other inede cincs. 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 be banished from every family and class in the 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 tlie sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of tho CUKE in every part of the liftited States, its success ha# 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 tho most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; aud what was still worse for ague sufferers, ull their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have 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 give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fever und Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessne**, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle: New York, 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 1 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 tally to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines w hich 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 the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in 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 climate now accompany each bottle. It will often bo found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate doso r Castor Oil, the object. t‘ w nim i tu cleanse tlie stomach —1 r.ee me 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, —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tlie medicine, and also the air watted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after tho Liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, tho miasmata or poison contained in tlie apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants aro exposed to malarious situations. Tlie 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 the name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is securer!) and the signature of the proprietor. Those precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. Theso will be considered sufficient.

Truly yours, LATHItOP & 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 cenefit it has been to me. X was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th • different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal 1.-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 y jur m -dicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. Iu another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are uot in 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 he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, aud we take pleasure iu bringing it before tlie not ice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Ml. Se.pt. 4. Evidence from a. Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1865. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir —I cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady iu tlie family of a clergyman here lias been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit —* few days since she got a bottle of tlie Cure aud lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Pliysician. Monticello, Ind., 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. It. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure has 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 into every town and village in the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. Pr. J. R. Chilton, of New Y'ork, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tlie 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 tho Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—aliogother they would more than till any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie 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 during the warm and sickly sea sous, not a man woman or child iu the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, oratiy form of disease arising from the 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 and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility- or any k ind of intemperance or dissipation.
