NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, |
Prepared by N. \V. Heal, M. D.
Reasons why it hould bo used instead of any otlier treat
ment In all Febrile affections:
1 at.--Kconomy of Time.—As only one-seventh
of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
Mil. -.- Kconomy of Money. —As It costs hut one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feeling.—As it saves the
suffering of a long Sickness and the consequent treat
ment; tic unnoyance of taking nauseating doses of
modiclno, their disagrecablo operation, and the pain of
loug confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
Ith.—Kconomy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present i
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
ffth.—Kconomy of Health. —As the system
is not redneed, and consequently racked; nor is the lever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
Oth.—Kconomy of Life.—As the cure isoffected
before and without reducing tho patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all lunger of a latal
termination.
Other reasons might l>e added, but these are deemed
sutflclen: ’osatislyall classes and persons in all condi
tions of t,.e.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable) to
the immediate treatment on the iirst attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
*.o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when need soon after
the attack, persons can ■ ‘ercely realize that they hod
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
were not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘fit was trifling
—r ‘ittle cold, whicli gave alarm—it could have been
Homing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine hod noeffect.” The general
impression on tiie subject of fever is such, that thoughts
uot unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
tiie individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully
realize the truth; and even then lie may conclude them
all very trifling c.,->es, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they huvo
hern thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
.Apcct that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so “rent as to require particular
attention, or though succcsslu! in reducing tiie fever,
it will again rise as the influence of tiie “ Fluid” passes
oft, as the exciting cuasu may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment >n suen cases that l have given
and frequently rotor to what X have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks uis Fevers lu General*
On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Ily tho
term “levers,” I comprehend ull febrile affections to
which tho human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and In ulte dissimilar constitutions
ami habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
vet all are distinguished by tho same general character
istic*—that ol undue excitement In the circulatory and
nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tiie skin,
debility, &c.
To show that I am not wholly alone ■: the opinion I
advance, I quote from tho celebrated l’rof. T. Watson,
of King's College, London, whose work on the “ Print",
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Hy tiie public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (Bistro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever hliowh itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tiie
mind of ail Oils sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encou o es a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
liue of genuine distin.tiou between continued fevers,
that can lie reliod on. They run insensibly into each
otbei on the most dissimilar cl them, and are often
traceable to the Bame cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your mindß tiie folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ nameif you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so as to be properly ...uued by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of uiiud, but on experience at tiie bed
side of tho sick, iii hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(hy myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from 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, I will describe
as briefly as possible tiie proper course to bo pursued in
all ol ! he most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies”
and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for nil those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Rules important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
--* Patients must he tree from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must be continued whenever tiie fever subsides,
or is evidently passing otf; to be resumed when it
begins to riso again, should such he the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When Hie fever begins to subside, patients must
bo leit perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
uot he questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever
till their own natural feedings, independent of nil extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should auy conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, hut lie left
quiel to all intents and purposes.
3tli. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desire Hand no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonado, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
tith. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so ns to occasion a
rest!, eiicss after the fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, liartshora, lemonade witli a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the faco and
breast may lie bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ l2 to 30 “
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ 2O to 50 “
“ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered ns adults, for whom
ateaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require . much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no i<articular care necessary in giving it to
children—those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have giveu tiie
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing tiie above directions, tho medicine will
bo found agreeable in all of its, Sects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may he obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent > ever.
tlive a teaspenful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two in r, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
oonstltuios the whole treatment in all simple case* of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in tho
“ ltules.” But should there he prominent I >cal symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should he
attended to at once, and while giving tin “Fluid.”
See Syuopsis.
If in any chsb 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 ruuulng 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated m by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may bo given at first with advantage, and even re|>ented
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at ati agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water. In these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to bo discontinued as the fever subsidei As
the bowefe are generally confined, ami it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease
no time should lie lost to get them open, give some activ,,’
cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may be neceii.
sary till It operates; enemas (injections! in'av also be
used to advantage: also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
th ® ,I <' R d. Quinine may be added to tho
“ Field if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Tvphna, Ship and Putrid
or Bponed Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly lu degree, being all of a low grade, the mis?
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them-at least eo far *1
mv treatment is concerned. In these low severe wh™
fully developed a little patience will t„, required stMI
comparatively little, ss they frequentlv . ..., w“! ks ,’, ‘r
the common treatment, while with this hut a few davs
at lonsvtt to
in bail cases, from three to five grains each of ipsinint
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or Home tonic and stimu
lant (se t auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should he kept gently open, and stuull portions
of some hepalv; should lie g'Vou occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. The patient
should he sustained iiy nourishing and miicilagenous
drinks—such as are in common uso in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious lever, will he found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, in all cases
whicli hare liecome reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Given teaspoonful of tiie “ Fluid” every two hours,
witli a wine-glassful of as strong decoction of boueoet; or
half the quantity may bo given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say ouce in six or eight hours.
The honeset tea should he giveu warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to he applied over tho seat of paiig; keep tiie
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scurla
tlna; or Bmall Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
anil Scarlet Fever.
As ull of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, tiie treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
nuver wait to learn the “ name ,” whether it is one or the
otlier, or neither, us they all commence with J'ever, hut
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no
trouble; there will he but little, eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, If treated as
I direct, will be cut short; attended witli hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there i no necessity of
its running Its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but ail that L hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Frol'. Wiitsou, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“ You may abate tiie force of the eruptive fever, uml
keep down, it is believed, tiie number of the pustules by
spline purges, &c.” Here is the admission timl it may
lie done. 1 nave not only proven it may be., but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship, tjeo tiie account appended.
Uive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of tiie case, witli a dose ol salts or castor oil; repeat tiie
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the -hip Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that tiie patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop hy drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat wcl reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tiie
best gargle, in all such Cases.
Puerperal or Cliildlted Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to whicli the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as tiie
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re
peated as long as the fever continues, us iu other cases.
The bowels of course should )>e attended to.
lu connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded hy
the ladies, will savo them mncli pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the 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 be tried to be appreciated.—
I’ainful menstruation will be relieved at ouce by a com
mon dose and retiring. Bestlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken ut a delicate time, is easily relieved hy
its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all exciiubility
and iritability'of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will Booth ami
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; bonce its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tho treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho
name it may he or ought to he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When sucli indications occur in any case, they should
he appropriate means, and those soliuld ho 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 ho lost As the ,Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tire bowels are costive, givo a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tiie dose; if attended
with diurrliuca, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tiie
“ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
paiu or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter 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 butlie
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or butlie the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tile saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tiie medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will ho no trou
ble; if tho patient has been rodnonS 1. ......n prostra
te,!, eiii” tonies nun stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tiie patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie
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 tiie
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necossary ; iu short, treat ull the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at tiie same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at tiie ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loe* .to know what is meant hy
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. [ have found no such necessity
When using tho Fluid, and to he fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of tho different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—-
l at linrtics,—Articles that purge or operate on the
laiwels, . ell as castor oil, salts, senna, auy of the roots
or barks, ami many pills, autibilious. Ac.; anything
know n to he good forsuch purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation uml secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools’
for this pi ■ ‘se, will answer when used in connection
with tho “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu
fl.ieiu” And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tho third, podopliyllin—tho fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each limy take his clioico and he suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone-
Bee or tho: oughwort is oue of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such ns check the action of the
bowels. Uiudanuin and other preparations of opium are
ed ; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
St imulants, Articles that raise or excite* tiie
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of t lie best:

New Principle! New Remedy! No Poison! |
Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure;
Oc. Antidote to Malaria ;
FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE
Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and
other intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of
Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Fytup
tuus; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship
and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night
Sweats, and all other forms of disease
WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MAI.AXIIA OR. MIASMA.
rj-MIESE diseases arc common to many localities of tho
X United Mates; hut wherever they prevail, North,
huutli, Fast or West, they all equally spring from the
same uiiusuial cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age,
sex, constitution and hubils of the sufferers; hut ns the
cause is the same, they will all equally j leld to a remedy
that is couipeteut to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who
breathe il. lu accordance with those unalterable laws
governing tho unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, tiiere is iu the preparation before us, offered to
the public,
The Natural Antidote (o Malai-ia,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in tho open air,'and whea 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 tie entirely new, and un
known to any hut tiie proprietor, who distinctly claims
tho following extraordinary results front its use:
It will instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from oue day to twenty
years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will he effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary,
in its operation upon the poison iu tho system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when tho disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow tiie administration of other mede
cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perieet health.
By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class in the community; fanners, me
chanics, and nil laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
Anil pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during Hie sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
■year.
Since the introduction of tho CUBE in every part of
the United States, its success lias been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favorofits 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 of
science had been taxed iu vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all tlieir remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, galieine, &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 be 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 known that their potency* depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Retnody is not only* valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, bat that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because ofits
Singular and Entire Harmlessness,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in tiie United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
New York, Juno 11, 1555.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to tiie constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve tiie human family from
malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work hy
preventing tho 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 ns the oue
under consideration, if the medicine he token in advance.
This is owing to tho diseases being produced hy one an.l
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely uso
of this preventive, and not wait for tiie poison already
lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poisop 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 hy a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, tiie object of whicli is to cleans.. tim stomach
and .free '•” MUtti-jr passages. Remember that where
tltis is necessary*, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of the antidote will ho geriou-ly ob
structed.
Only Cant ion.—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 tho medicine,
and also tho air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after tiie liquid is evaporated, will counteract
and destroy, to a degteo commensurate with its expo
sure, tb,e miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mudo of exhibiting the Cure should likewise he
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
Tho bottles in which this medicine is put up hr-.**e the
words, “Rhodes’ lever and Acute Cure” blown it. the
glass, and on tho outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (tiie copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of tho proprietor. These precautions aro
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance tor its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. Tlieso
will he considered sufficient.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of iho

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and iu fact, any pulmonary complaints
this medicine, from its pcculhu- properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it w ill

OR
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
NO POISON. PROOFS 1
See what tho President of the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An- ,
tidote to Malaria:
Sx. Louis, Mo., Noe. 10, 1805.
MAYING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
J. L given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. K. Chilton,
of New York city, in favor of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mer
ourp nor strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it. J was induced to solid to Dr. Rhodes
for the mediciue. Since then 1 have disposed of a huge
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to lie all that
tiie proprietor represents.

Having been informed of tho illness of a poor, hut
worthy woman, who lias not been fre e from Fever and
Ague a month at a lime for the last twelve years, 1 sup

Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th. 1855.
James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent
an order to Ames A Holliday for another half gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure. It has sold like “Hot Cakes,”
anil I have only two bottles ou hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and teld them to try
it, and if it did not. help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. 1 hud one ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but. the man came
to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Mr. Janies A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
tho benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
cliiHs and fever on the Isthmu if l’anama, several
months since, and iu spite of tli * different remedies

1 commenced the use of your Fever aud Ague Cure.—
Since that time 1 have uot had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.

Kcwe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—f cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure ana Ims not had a cliill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle .f your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Your.: 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 tlirco 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.
b isyille No. 11, 0, K. R.,Ga.,Jan. 1, 1860.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman justcalled
who has been fully cured hy only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. ‘ w. A.HAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it iu every botlleof tho CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly iis possible info every town and village
in the United states, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. K. Chill on, 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.
1 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 bo realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters
of which I publish su li immense quantities are always
new and late dutps—altogether they would more than
till any ucwsjiaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than over attended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning Glory
of the Clue is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its tree use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during tho 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, oranv form of disease arising
from tiie atmospheric poison Mnlitiia, to wliieli the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick uiul permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
vhose constitutions have been shuttered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and tie*
liility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
