NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, I Prepared Iy N. W. Beat, M. D. Reasons why it should bo used instead of any other trout- | mcnt in all Febrile affections: I stEconomy of Time.— As only unr.-tevf.nth of tho ordinary timo in required tootfoct a cure. 3d.—-Economy of Money.—As it o sits but one dollar. 3rd.—Economy of Feeling— A it saves tho suffering of a long sick ties* and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; but littlo of tho fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. ■lth.—Economy of Thought.—As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febriluutfoctions; particularly while a dear friend is sick. sth. — Economy of Health. —As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. Uth. — Economy of Life. —As the cure is effected before and without reducing the patiout, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed sulHoient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. Tho above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on tho flrst attack, hut will apply witli 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 ami perma nent relief, in all ordinary casus, when used s.lOll after tho attack, persons can scarcely realize that they hud luteu really much sick, and very naturally conclude tip y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—thut medicine had noeffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common ease as naturally as men think at nil; and it is not until the individual lias witnessed many eases that he can fully realize the truth; and even then lie may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have liceu thus successful iu perhaps hundreds of eases, must expect that thsre wiil cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great us to require particular attention, or though suceoss.ul in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of tho “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in hucii cases tliut 1 have given and frequently rotor to what 1 have culled a•• synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers In General* On this subject I wisli to be fully understood. Isy the term “fevers,” I comprehend nil febrile affections to which tho human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; lint as they arise by a great variety of causes, mid in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development end exhibit a -variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istic* —that ol undue excitement in tho circulatory mid nervous systoms—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heut, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone In the opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, whose work on tho “Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text bonk in many of nur medical Colleges, and consequently standardauthirrity. On page 834, ho says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, lirain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Knteric, mid so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all tills sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no lino of genuine distinction between continued fevers, Hint can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, oven the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting np or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you mil he well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to be properly named liy the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or vißions of mind, hut on experience at tho bed side of tile sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at onco without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from ull dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But us cases may have be come developed boforo tho ” Fluid” is given, eitlior by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe us briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in ail of the most prominent fevers, though the “ llules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Hides important to he observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in threo or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always bo free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently pussiug off; to ho resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under uny circumstances. 4tli. When tlie fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned us 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, imluce them to rise or speak ; nor should any conversation be allowed iu their hearing, in which they may feel more or loss interested, but bo left quiet to all intents 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 wator, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, 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 as to occasion a restlessness after the lover has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wiue, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimuluut; or the face uud breast maybe 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 l and tinder 2 years, “ 6to 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ l2 to 30 “ “ 6 “ 10 “ 2O to 50 “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teagpoouful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much us young, or those iu the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. Thore la no particular care necessary iu giving it to children —those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with tho remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will lie found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of tho medicine may be obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. tlillou or Remittent Fever. tlive a teus|ioiiful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two liours. till tlie fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in till simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the “ Hules.” But should there bo prominent local symp tom*, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and while giving the •• F'luid.” See Synopsis. If in any ease the h ivvols are particularly constipated or confined, give a atharttc (see auxiliaries) with tlie first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to tho influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two toaspoousful may bo giveu at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it —the pulse—has not beeu softened, thus showing the medicine lias taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse become* more full and soft, then only a tea spoonful, 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 uo time should lie lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may he neces sary till it oj>erates; eueiuas (injections) may also lie used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities or friction (rubbing) with the bands or flannel; also, ci>lil applications to file bead. Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers arc all of ono character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small aud wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical nso in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. 111 these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required- still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under tin- common treatment, while with this hut a few days will lie necessary t longest to establish a permanent conviiUaceuce. The treatment should be commenced—which nut immediately follow any other without detriment with 0f “, Klui,t ” v 7 two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued >nce in six or ei„.it hours tilt the fever entirely subsides. Iu bad cases, from three to live grains each of quinine and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stun ,i ----laiit (*♦** auxiliaries; aJiould be* added to ea<;li uosc. -lie bowelh should bo kept t;ontly open, and small portion* of Homo hepatic Mhould be given occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should be bustained by nourishing and mucilage no us drinks—such us are iu common use in such oases.--- Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious feveiV will he found advantageous. Tonies should be used during convalescence, iu ail cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, hung or Winter Fever. Give a teaspoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction ol hone set; or half tho quantity may ho givefi every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eigiit horns. 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 of the kind, to he applied over tlie seat ot pain; keep tlie bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola anl Scarla tinu; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. Am ail of these diseases are attended with fever, which iu fact is the most prominent symptom, tlie treatment differs buo little from that of common fevers. Hemombcr never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or tlie other, or neither, as tiiey all commence with Jceer, but treat it at onco; govern the fever and there will he no trouble; there Will bv but little eruption even in small pox. Till*, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will lit regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated us I direct, will he. cut short ; attended with but little erup tion; littlo or no pitting, and that there is no necessity, of its running its ordinary course. On tills I will stake not only my reputation, lint ail that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. Ho says, page 874: “ Von limy abate tlie force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tliut it may ho done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, hut has hce.n done iu numerous cases that occurred on hoard ship, bee tlie account appended. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of tiie ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two liours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; hut it should be given uud repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of Hie ordinary gargles may be used, and tiie surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one cuso, on tiro ship Duchess d’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 by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till ull alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of tlie throat woh reduced so us to enable hint to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone. — Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tile best gargle in all such canes. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming muludy to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to tlie Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re peated us long as tiro fever continues, as iu other eases. The bow els of course should he attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of tlie happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of it- pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora 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 tiie ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie 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 and healthy; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As tiie Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue aud control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may he or ought to tie called, it should bo given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must Ik- removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving tlie “Fluid,” and in connection witli it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, bi-Hides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub due tho fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlie 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 tlie 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 inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tiie part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlie feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, witli 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 the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou- I ble ; it’ the patient haa been rduood or it* much prostra ted, give tonics aud stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach to do any good ; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach Inis settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you wonhl under any other circumstances, giving the “Fluid” at the same time ns directed, nnd success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and 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. 1 have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all. I will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cat liartics.— Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, stilts, senna, any of tho roots or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to he good for such purposes. llapatics.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tho “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tho third, iradophyllln—tho fourth, mandrake root, and so on: each may take his choice and he sue- CCB*ftl ]. Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and hitter herbs, Bone sec or thorougliwort is one of tho best used in fevers. Astringents. —Such us check tlie action of the bowels. Laudanum uud other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulants. Articles that raise or excite tho system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are aP more or less stimulating. These are tlie only classes necessa ry iu treating fevers, though many others uro generally used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a bot’er “ dia phoretic, ’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” tttni “sedative” than known in tho materia medico. I shall not tax the render with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Packctslilp Ductless D’Orleaus. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: ‘Y e, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz— YVe took passage 011 tlie packetshlp Duchess d'Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying in tlie port of Havre.

AH.IA OR ri ’HEBE diseases are common to many localities of the United Mates; but wherever they prevail, North, ioiith. East or West, they all equally spring from tlie same liiiasmul cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is ow ing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution ami habits of tlie sufferers; but as tiie cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield to u remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Dy the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes. Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is tlie some in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance witli those unalterable laws governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, iln ru is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes iu con tact with it, even in the open uir, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it ol'its baneful iullue lice, and thus restores aud preserve health. The remedy is believed to he entirely new, aud un known to any hut the proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from its use : it will instantly check tiie ague in persons who have suffered for any length of lime, from one day to twenty years, ami by 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 tlie poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, aud when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Nlglit Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other liiede cines. The patient at ouce begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may he using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tho most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of tho United State*, its success has been so complete und unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When those declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlio most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subduo ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effect* 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 tlie pour sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that tlie Remedy is not only valuable on account ol its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular ami Entire Hnnnlcssness, Tho following certificate from one of the 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 in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CIIILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relievo the human family from malarious diseases, but to do unequally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. Tlie entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and tlie samo cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tlie poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the binary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, itsiusr be taken or the operation of tlie antidote will bo seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) aud place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tho medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu tho apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise he resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. Tlie bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the words, -Rhodes’ Fevf.h and Ague Ocbe” blown in the glass, and on tho outside wrapper is tlie name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits nnd imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

I hud one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, hut the man came to see rue ou the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 34 Bottles Perform 24 Cures. Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1805. Mil. 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, .1. D. Y'errington.

We remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS ft ALLEN. 19 Bottles Perform 19 Cures. LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER. Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1855. Mr. J. A.

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 lias been to me. I was first attacked by chills aud fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th ■ different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal i .'grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. YVishing yjur midicine the success that it merits, I remain i ruly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In auotlier column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Win. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, aud in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to he good, ami we take pleasure in bringing it before tlie notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., uhio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—J cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady iu (lie family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since slie got a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until lie got a bottle of your Cure. So fur it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. ,T. 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, ‘ YV. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R, Ga., Jan. 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 iu its sale. W. A. lIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible info every town and village in tlie 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 ■ tlie Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say t lint a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to fake the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will lie noticed that tho letters of which I publish su h immense quantities are always new und late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess nnd sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Cnoxvuing'Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tho warm and sickly sea sons, not u man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tho Cure i- a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and dt> biltty or any kind of intemperance or dissipation. .TAME'S.
