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. Signed. E. V. Kauri, 84 Pearl street, New York. E. Q.Fabri, “ “ “ J. A.

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.

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. I. O. O. F. 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, Md. Sept. 4. 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.
