NJ&GATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. D.
Hensons why it should be used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affection*:
Üb-Gconomy of Time. —As only one-seventh
of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
till.—Economy of Money.—Ah it costs but one
dollar.
3rd. —Gconomy of Peeling.—As it saves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4th. —Economy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
3th.— Economy of Health.—As the system
is notrednecd, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to l>o followed hy chronic disease.
6th.—Gconomy of 1.1 fe.—As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding dogree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be Rdded, 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 first attack, hut will
apply with equal foroe to caaes which have been subjects
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of coarse
*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 cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
licou really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
were not attacked with fever, and If ho, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—lt could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general
impression on the subject of feveris such, that thoughts
not unlike the (above follow the cure of n common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cast's occur where thorn is some
organic or local cause so great os to require particular
attention, or though success.ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in snen cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers in General*
On this subject I wish to bo fully understood. Uy the
term “lovers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but us they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that oi undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the celebrafed I'rof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, whose work on tire “Princi
ple* ami Practice of Physio” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, aud consequently standard authority.
On page 534, he says:—“We 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 tho full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Knteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, l am persuadod that the effoct upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad aud hurtful. It
encourages a disposition already too prevalent, to pro
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
lino of genuino distinction between continued fevers,
lliat can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
Up or troubling yourself about a “ name;’’ if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to bo 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
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myeolf and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
anil 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 us cases may have be
come developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of tho most prominent fevers, though tile “ Kules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
noons turned to attendance upon the sick.
Hides important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. 11 should he given in throe or four times its own
•quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must, be free 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 lie continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; 1o be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
4tli. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as 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 nny conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or loss interested, but b loft
quiet to all iutents and purposes.
6th Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and 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 desire.
6th. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tho fever lies passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with u little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tho face and
breast maybe bathed i. cold water; eithor 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, “ 6to 15 “
“ “ 2 5 “ “ 12 to 30 “
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60
“ “ 8 “ 16 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old porsons do not
require as much as young, or those iu the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, ns much as males.
There is no particular care necessary iu giving it to
children—those of ten years of uge frequently having
takeu full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rulo,
Children require more than adults in proportion.
lty 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 tints particular is, that
the fttll benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
not on account of any actiud necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
(live a teaspouful of “ Fluid” (see ruio Ist) once in
two hours, till rite fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of
fever, witli such observances as are set forth iu the
“Buies.” But should there bo prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, aud while giving tlie “ Fluid.”
See Synojaiis.
If in any ease the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a nthartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion : they must bo opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is uot particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated ou by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoons ft) I
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has uot beou softened,
thus showing tli medicine has taken effect.
Bathing tho surface with water at un agreeable
temperature, the saline w ash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much iu taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two tesspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
tho pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tes
spoouful, to be discontinued as the fever subside’ As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease
no time should lie lost to get them open, give some active’
cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage, also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the bands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought Advisable. See Synopsis.
Nrrvous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, bring nil of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
mv treatment is concerned. In these low fevers* when
fully developed, a little patience will be roquirai; still
comparatively little, as they frequently i un weeks under
l the common treatment, while with this but a few days
F will bo necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convale-eence.
The treatment should be commenced—which mav
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
u teaspoonful of “ Fluid 1 ” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
)nce iu six or eight hours til! the fever entirely subside*
In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine.
and capsicum (Cayenne pepjier) or oonie touic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept ge,ntly Open, and small portions
of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Whore tho skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(Jive a teaspoonful of tho “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glusslul of a strong decoction of boneset; or
half tho quantity may lie given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or oiglit hours.
The boneset tea should bo given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something oi
the kind, to bo applied over the seat of pain; keep tlie
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, tlie treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Hemember
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 tho lover and there will be no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many, i nevertheless
boldly make tlie assertion, that small pox, if treated as
i direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, ami that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputatiou, but ail that I hold most dear;
besides, ou this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. Ho says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the, pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Hero is the admission that it may
be done. X nave not only proven it may be, but has
been dono iu numerous eases that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
Uivo a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
oi the ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it Bliould be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tlje fever under control. Wlieu the throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gurgles may be used, and tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one. case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and fuucus were so much swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or spoak. and he was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid on Ills tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till
ail alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to tlie
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as tlie
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should be re
peated as long as tho lever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
J n connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain uud suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the F'luid iu
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose aud retiring, llestlessness, 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
tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth 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 tlie treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tho Negative Electric Fluid
will change tlie condition called fever, or subdue und
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to he 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 sucli exist, must be removed in order to ett'ect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur iu any case, they should
bo appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As tho ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inllanimation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tlie feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry aud hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi
cine ill taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if tlie patient lias I >"1 ....-'I or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias 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 somo
gentle emetic to cioanse tlie stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give tlie “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all tlio prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at tlie samo time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, aud then you will be astonished at tlie ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used, f have louud no such necessity
when using tlie Fluid, ami to lie fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of tho different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat Uart ics.—Articles that purge or operate on tlie
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tho roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be goodforsuch purposes.
Hepatlcs.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by tlie different schools
for this purpose, will answor when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu
fluenoe. And one limy choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bouo
set or thorough wort is one of the best used iu fevers.
Astringents.— Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlio effect.
Stimulants. —Articles that raise or excite tho
system, Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are tlie only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
list'd, but tlie Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“ sedative” than known in the materia medica.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that ou the
Packetslitp Duchess D’Orleang.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates’
We, the undersigned, certify to the following viz—
We took passage on tlie packetship Duchess d’Orleans
Capt Hutton, then lying iu tlie port of Havre, France’
and bound for New York. Site sailed ou the 9th of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tho small
pox broke out among tlie emigrants. They were all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. IV. Seat with
anew remedy ofhls own, which he culls Negative’Elec
tric F'luid, 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 hinted thirty-nine .lavs
there were about eighty cases of small pox,‘somo 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 tlie oc
easion, 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 nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage
small pox aud fever on board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

Ob Antidote to Malaria ;

other Intermittent and Kemittent Fevers; also of
Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp

and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night
Sweats, aud all other forms of disease
WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
SIJYXjJAIIIA. 014. MIA.SM2Y.
riVHESE diseases are common to many localities of tho
J. United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring from tlie
same mia-smal cause. The great variety of symptoms aud
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution aud habits of tlie sufferers; but as tlie
cause is the samo, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent 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 in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of auimal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lauds, is the same iu character and ett'ect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to ail who
breathe it. in accordance with tlioso 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, oven iu the open air, aid when taken inter
nally completely purifies tho system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use :
It will instantly cheek tlio ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from ono day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to tile direc
tions, a radical cure will be effected; tlie patient contin
uing free from thecomplulntfor ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will
immediately relievo all tlie distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow tlio administration of other mede
cines. Tlie patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, ami continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use F’ever 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 the sickly season,
which is often to them tho most valuable part of the
year.
Since tlie introduction of the CURE iu every part of
tho United States, its success has been so complete and
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 of
science had been taxed in 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, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of theso are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superailded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he particularly
careful about using any secret F'ever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlio 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, hut that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Harmlessness,
The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias 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
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 iu it, nor have lfouud
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 only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by
preventing tiie taking of other medicines which do harm.
Tho 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 tlie timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poisou before it does harm.
F’ull 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. Tlie
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, tlie object of which is to cleanse tho stomach
....a fuc me biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he takes
or tlie operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —lu certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of tlio Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after theliquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlie apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise bo
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
Tlie bottles iu which this medicine is put up have tlio
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tlie
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tlie
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) aud tlie
signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced ami used. These
will be considered sufficient.

so doing, I am acting most iinprofessionally. and doroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and tin* regular
Practitioners of Mediciuo. I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual pri ~ rip

Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased witli its ef

This preparation lias attained a wido celebrity from
tlie universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, aud iu fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
aud 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 will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping tlie digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of tlie medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant.

UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF
RHODES’ FEVER AND AGUE CURE,
Oil
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA;
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
NO POISON. PROOFS !
See what the President of the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria:
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1555.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. 11. Chilton,
of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever uud Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, 1 was induced to send to Dr. .Rhodes
for tlie medicine. Since then I have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, aud to whom I can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.

Mad tlie Ague for Twelve Years !
Providence, June 29, 1855.
Having been informed of tho illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who has not been ire efrom Fever nud
Ague a month at a time for tlie last twelve years, I sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took iu all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, and as four mouths
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tlie perma
nency of tlie cure.

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, lthassold like “Hot Cakes,”
and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and teld them to try
it, anil if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay lor it, and they wero all satisfied. I had one case
of Cliiil Fever where it run lour days, but the man came
to nee me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN I*. GLADDING.
34 Bottles Perform 24 Cures.
Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Dear Sir —The box of “Ague
Cure” you sent us has all been sold and created a large
demand for more; to meet which we have ordered
from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.
Its sale will only be equalled by tiie number of Fever
and Ague coses. Hoping these cases may be few, yet
have a liottle for every case.
We remain respectfully yours,

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.
Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1855.
.Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —Your medieiue has met
with the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I
have about five bottles left. 1 give it to them at first,
‘if no cure no pay,’ although I was not authorized by
you to do so; but I took tlie responsibility on myself.—
But not a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out
of the article I wish you would forward me ono gross of
the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will bo
punctual iu payment. I inclose fifteen dollars on tlie
medicine I have received, for which please send me a
receipt. Ship the cure,to me as soon as you can—there
never has been as much Chills and F'ever since I lived in
the State, as at present. Yours, &c.,
RICHARD MARTIN, P. M.
21 Bottles Perform 21 Cures.
Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855.
Dr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress
ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one
bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four
dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATIIROP & MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several
months since, and in spite of tli • different remedies
and treatment 1 adopted, my heal i .'grew worse until
I commenced the use of your F'ever and Ague Cure.—
Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur msdicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

in another column of to-day’s paper will be found an
advertisement for “Rhodes’ F’ever 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 has effected a cure. This proves the medi
cine to be good, and wo take pleasure in bringing it
before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro,

E vidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—X cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here lias 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 lias not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Ralsam some time without relief
until he got abottie 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 three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
’ W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jau. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of tlie CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
iu 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 F’ever 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 the Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters
of which l publish su li immense quantities are always
new and lato dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sate than cverattendeil any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected hy
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 F’ever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from tlio atmospheric poison Malarin, to which tlie
Cure is a perfect antidote.
it is also unequalled for quick aud permanent effects
ns 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.
