NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. I>. I.easou* why it hbould bo used instead of any other treat ment in ull Ki brik’ affections: Ist.—Economy of Time.—As only one-seventh of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. iidi.>iicauomy of Moisey. —As it c .sts but one dollar. 3rd.—Uconomy of Feeling.—As it saves the •uttering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable oiieration, and the pain of long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. itb.—Economy of Thought.—A when known, it will remove all dread tnd anxiety at present existing, respecting febrilo 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 be followed by chronic disease. Oth.—Economy of Life.—As the cure is effected beforo and without 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 tho first attack, hut will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course *.o tho nature of the case at the time it is lirst adminis tered. As this remody gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, In all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have pasted off with out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general impression on tho subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common cuse as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual lias witnessed many cases that he can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them ull very tiilling 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 causo so great as to require particular attention, or though success ill in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes 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 I have called a “ synopsis.” Remark* on Fever* in General’ On this subject I wish to be fully understood, lly the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in tlioir development ami exhibit a variety of forms or typos; yet all uro distinguished by the same general character istics—that ol undue excitement in tho circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from tho celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. Oil page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. lly the public, Typhus Fever, liruin Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Kntcric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. Thero is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that cun be relied on. They rnn insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Tho 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 fiver, treat it at once as hereafter directed and you will lie well instead of any distlnctcharacter 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 at the bed sido-of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself ami others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons uud climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at onco without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be froed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the “Fluid” is given, either liy neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible tile proper course to be pursued iu all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” ami “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Rules important to be obsen<cd in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given In threo or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of air, (though there should always bo free ventilation in tho sick room,) nor attempt to go about whllo under its in fluence. 3d. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any Circumstances. 4th. When tho fever begins to subside, patients must bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, road or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induct them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation bo allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quid to all intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it us plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simplo decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. Oth. Should patieuts experience any oppression or faintness while in the lyiug posture, so as to occasion a restlossucss after the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wiue, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tho face and breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or uuder, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 und under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ l2 to 30 “ “ “ 6 lO “ “ 20 to 50 “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. 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 age 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 proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that tho full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, und not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. lllliou* or Remittent Fever. Give a teosponful of “ F'luid” (see rule Ist) onco in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in ull simple cases of fever, with such observances ns are sot forth iu the “ Rules.” But should there bo prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in auy case the bowels are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patieut is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double doee, or ’two teaspoonsful may be given at first with advantage, aud even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been snftenni. thus showing tho medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid tho mediciue much iu taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse become* more full and soft, then ouly a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever sutuddei As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease no time should be lost to get them open, give some active’ cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat as may be necee sary till It operates; enemas (injections) may also lie used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (tubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine nmy 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, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical mo iu separating them—at least so far as my treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when ■ully developed, a little patience will be required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under tile common treatment, while with this but a few days i” nvaies D cr n ° c r ry “* ,ongeSt *° < ' StßbU * h R P rm * net >‘ Ftm^dl!teU. m r’o t ,hould }>• commenced—which may f a teasiKxmful S “T, *"?, o,her witho " t Jctrlmont-with becomes fuller or u, mJ ,* v * T 7 two hours, till the pulse mce in six or *i,i, n volume, then to lie continued mce in alx or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides In bud cases, from three to five grains each of quinine aud capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even though the bowels should bo very loose. The putient should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous drinks—such us are in common use in such coses.— Where tho skin is very dry, sponging the surface us di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should lie used during convalescence, iu ail eases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give a teaspoouful of tho “ Fluid” every two hours, witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or half the quantity may bo 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 symptoms are 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. Variolu, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, 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. Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they nil commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will bo but little eruption even in small {mix. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, unit be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, blit all that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “ You may abate the force of the eruptive feVer, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I have not only proven it may be, but has been douc in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See tho account appended. (live u teaspoouful or more, according to the urgency of tho case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repent the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the level sub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should be given aud repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tire ordinary gargles may be used, aud the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie 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 ull alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tire throat wus reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the F'luid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to tho Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of u teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire uud 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 fver continues, as in other cases. The 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 file ladies, will save them much pain aud Buttering. It is to inform them of tho happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains and dilliculties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.— l’ainful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or a 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 tlio most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous ns well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that ono can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use in bo many cases. Synopsis. To avoid coustant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much ns possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid will change tho condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to lie called, it should bo 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 iu any case, they should be appropriate means, aud these sohuld be given while giving 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 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 tail to operate in duo time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, thougli if caused by irritability, the “ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of latter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent paiu iu the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe (lie feet in hot water; if tlio fever is very high, skin dry und hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tlio saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cino in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; it the patient has been raduod or io much prostra tea. give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has becomo re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ F'luid” at the samo time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will lie astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Patties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about a hat is used. I have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be tally understood by all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz : Cathartic*. —Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibiliuus, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver piu ticularly, portal circulation and secretions generally Auy of tho articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tho third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or thoroughwort is ono of tho best used in fevers. Astringent*. —Such as check the action of the bowels. Isuulanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulants. —Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is ono of the best; ginger, spirits. hartshorn, 4 c., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the ouly classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though niauy others are generally used, but tho Negative Klectric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” aud “sedative” than known in tho materia medica. 1 shall not tax tlio reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tho results of a trial, ami will’ only refer to one instance of success, that on the Packctahlp Ductless D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates’ We, the undersigned, certify to the following viz— '’ e took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’ and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au gust, 1851, with over u hundred soul, on board, mostlv emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the •mall pox broke out among the emigrants, They wore all treated by the physician iu charge, l)r. N. W. Seat with anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative’Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in a very short time. 6 During the voyage, which lasted thirty-niue days there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the mine.

Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure; Or Antidote to Malaria ; FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and other Intermittent aud Remittent Fevers; also of Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp lons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night Sweats, and all other forms of disease WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN ivr AT.ARIA OH MIASMA.. ri’UKSK diseases are common to many localities of the _L United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, Kast or West, they all equally spring from the same miasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcomo 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 auimul 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 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 the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores aud preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from Us use: It will instantly check the ague iu persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to 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 again 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 and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Aguo 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 tho Rickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of tlie CURE in every part of tho United States, its success lias been so complete aud unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions iu favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources cf science 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, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give ouly temporary relief, their poisonous effects are supentdded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well kuown 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 enre diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, The 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: New York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever ami Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the coustitution. “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 be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and the same causo, and therefore all, both residents aud 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 be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tlio very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach amt frfo the uniary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates.) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tho medicine, aud also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a deg.ee commensurate w ith 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. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tho glass, and on tho outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance eor its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced aud used. These will be considered sufficient.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the thousands of remediesfor Diseased Lungs, under the titles of Sarsaparilliu, Pills, Planters, Liniments, Ac., that are daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by way of advertisements. My object in writing tliis note for publication, is to induce the public, or at least thoso who are nfflieted, to use one that contains articles of Real Use in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that iu so doing, I am acting most unprofeseionally.and deroga torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular Practitioners of Mediciue. I refer to Woodman's Cherry Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have used with more success than any of tho usual prescrip tions used by Physicians. v J. M. Maitland, M. D.

I would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot tles by the bearer. Respectfully, W. M. Mason, M. D. This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from the universal success which has attended its use. For coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dlssolvt nt and its soothing power to all irritations of tho throat will probably be preferred to any other offered to the public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic rernedv, it will also be found excellent, Its nutural and genial warmth keeping the digestive powers in proper tone. Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading Physicians of New York city.

Rhodes—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 chills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of til < different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal 1 .'grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since tht time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur m ‘<licine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will he found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not 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, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, .Md. 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 ramily of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of Medicine here for about threo 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 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. \y. a. HAYLES. 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, &c. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that n great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The 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 sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of diseaso arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the 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 kind of intemperance or dissipation.
