NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared by N> W. beat, M. I*. Reasons why it should be urtoci instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affections: 1 m< .--Economy of Time. —As only one-seventh of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. , li!...Fii‘onoiuy of Moisey*—As it c-ists but oue dollar. 3rd. — Economy of Feeling.— 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 conllnomont; 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. stls. — Economy of Health. —As the system is not reducod. and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to he followed hy chronic disease. 6tit.—Economy of Life. — As the cure iseffected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. IJthcr reasons might he added, hut these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons in all condi tions of life. ‘file above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, but 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 and perma nent relief, in all ordinary wises, when used soon alter the attack, persons cun scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they wer.; not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it 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 fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; ami it is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that he cun fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very tiifiiug cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success.ul in reducing the lever, it will again rise, as the influence of the “Fluid” passes off,as the oxciting cause may still exist, it is to guard against disappointment in such cases that I have given and frequently refer to what t have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers In General* On this subject I wish to be fully understood. By the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, and ill quite dissimilar constitutions anil habits, they of course differ considerably in tiicir development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished hy the snine general character istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skill, 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, hondoti, w hose work on the “J’rinri pies and Practice Os Physio” is a text book in many of our medical colloges. and consequently standard authority. On page 834, he says We hear continually, both in anti out of tlie profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, l,ow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers aro to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Unstro-Knteric, aud so forth. Now. admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all tliis 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, that can he 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 1 would imqnrjst on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling your self about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it Rt once as hereafter directed, and you will be. well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, sous to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (hy myself and others) under u great variety of cir cumstances. seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, aud rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the ‘•Fluid” is given, either hy ueglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued iu all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Itules” and “ Synopsis” will ho umply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tlio sick. Itules important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative. Electric Etuut. . Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and limy lie sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must he free from ail currents of air, (though there should always bo free ventilation in the sick room,) uor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must lie continued whenever the fever subsides, or evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from ail excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or foldings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whotevoi, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, imluce them to rise or speak; nor should auy conversation be allowed in their hearing, in Which they may feel more or less interested, but be lort, quiet to all intents and purposes. sth. Fluids should hi allowed, while giving it as plentifully, andas long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, Ugnouade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. Gtli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tlie lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after tlie fever lias passed ell', or enough to occasion them to speak of It, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the fare aud breast maybe bathed iu cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TAIILK OF DOSES. For children of oue year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ 6to Ift “ “ “ 2 “ ft “ l2 to 30 “ “ 5 “ 10 “ 20 to ftO “ “ 8 “ Ift half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much us youug, or those in tlie prime of life; uor females, as a general rule, as much as mules. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children —those often years of ago frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, witli the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. llpr observing tlie above directions, tlie medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of tlie most sanguino realized, aud many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the fiWI benefit of tlie medicine may lie obtained, and not on acoouut of any actual necessity of sucli strict ob servances. Biltong or Ilrmllteut Fever. Give a teaspont'ul of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off: this constitutes the whole treatment in nil simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iu tlie “Rules.” But Bhonld there be prominent local symp toms. or known local existing causes, they should he attended to at once, and while giving the •■ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any case tlie 1 we la are particularly constipated or confined, give u cathartic (see auxiliaries) with tlie first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise aguiu. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, aud the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence or medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teospoousful may be given at first with advantage, ami even repented in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been so/'lened, 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 eases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much iu taking effect. Congtstlve Fever. Give two teaspoonaflil and repeat every two lioufs till the pulse becomes more lull aud soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued ns the fever subside! As the bowels are generally confined, aud it is frequently very tUOfeult to get medicine to operate in tills disease no time should lie lost to get them open, give some active’ cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat as may lie neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also he used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities or friction (rubbing) with the hands or tinunel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to tlie “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As those fevers aro all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general go at depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. Iu those low fevers when fully developed, a little patience will be required- still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common trentment, while with this but a few diva will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—which mav immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger In volume, then to 1* continued mce in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In had case*, froni three to live grains each and capsicum (Cayenric pepper) orsome tonic and stir an lant (see auxiliaries) should bo added to ®ac “ bowels should be kept gently open, aud small por'iions of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even though the bowels should ho very loose, lhe patnnt should be sustained hy nourishing and muc lagenous drinks—sucl. as are in common use m suui Where tlie skiu is very dry, sponging tlie turtace iw di rected in bilious fever, will ip’ 11,m1,t adv-mta cuus. Tonics should be used during convalesceuce, in dU cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, bang or Winter Fever. Give a teaspoonful of the “Fluid” every- two hours, with a Wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or ball the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent symptoms aro allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over the seat oi pain;.keep tue liowets gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended witli fever, which in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, the treatment differs line little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “name;’ whether it is one or tlie other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; them will be but little eruption even iu small Jinx. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated os 1 direct, will be. cut short; attended with but little erup tion ; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, but a 1 that 1 hold most dear; besides, on tins subject, 1 have good authority; that ol Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 374: “You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number oj the pustules by spline purges, Sic..” Here is the admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it maybe, hut has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency of the case, with a doso of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the sides—-hough one or two doses is genera ly /rohciciit; but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep tlie fever under control. When tiie throat is affected, any of lhe ordinary gurgles may be used, and the surface bathed, us thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orlcans, tlie tongue and faucus were so much swollen that tlie patient could not swallow or speak, and be was cured by dropping tlie Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when ii was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone. — Used to wet tlie threat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous uud alarming malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re peated as long as tlie lever continues, as in other case3. The bowels of course should he attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tlie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing aud soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains Hml diliiculties; it must be tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will he 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 formauy of the ills of females, if not tile 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 tlie circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that oue can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and eondeuse tlie treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Klectlic Fluid will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name, it may he or ought to he called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when sucli exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate means, and these sohuld ho given while giving the “Fluid,” aud in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the •, Fluid” alone will sub due tlie fever, 1 cull all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, aud should it fail to operate in duo time, repeat the dose; if attended witli diarrluea, give something known to he good for that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, the ■• Fluid’’ will goon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain iu tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if the lever is very high, skin dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar ami water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no lile; if the patient ien reituceil or is much prostra ted. give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tlio patient has become re timed; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do any good: for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the Stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” nud a cathartic if •necessary; iu short, treat all the prominent symptoms as y ou would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success) will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will he astonished at the ease witli 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 no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to he fully understood by all, 1 will mime u tow of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz : Cathartlca.—Articles that purge or operate on tho bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, nntibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good forsucli purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended ou hy tho different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tho third, podopliyllin—tlie fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choieo and bo suc cess Ail. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such ns quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone* sc: or thorough wort is one of tlie best used in 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 tlie effect. St lin nl <ut >.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spiiits, liai tsliurii, Ac., tlie essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used. Imt the Negative Klectric Fluid is a liefer “dia phoretic,’’ “anodyne. iiuretic.” “relaxant” nud “sedative than known in tlio materia medico. I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only rider to oue instance of success, that outlie Packetship Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates- Wo, the undersigned, certify to the’following viz— We took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orlenne (apt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre.

The great variety el symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is tlio same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By tlie laws of Nature, every principle Inis its opposite, ami 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 aud vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in tlie atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tlie preparation before us, offered to tlie public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in tlie open air, and 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 ho entirely new, and un known to any but tho proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from its use : it will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to tlio direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from tlie complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon tlie poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow- the administration of other mode cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may he using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season, whicli is often to them tlie most valuable part of tlio year. Since tlie introduction of the CERE iu every part of the Enitod States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in 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 t lie resources of science had been taxed iu vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonons or destructive drugs, sucli as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicylic, &c. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may tie 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, but 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 m the United States has been obtained, and a eopy of it is attached to eveiy bottle : New York, June 11, ISoft. “I have madoa chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHI ETON, M. D„ Chemist.” It i; a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tlie human family from malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work hy preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy riot 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 hy one an! tlie samo cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves hy the timeiy use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tlio Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede tliis medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tlie object of which is to cleanse t lie stomach 0...i r.ee tlie biliary passages. Remember that where tliis is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must re takes or tlie operation of the antidote will lie seriou-ly ob structed. Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases’, pour tlie contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms ; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after tho liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu tlie apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is the name of tho medicine, (tlie copyright ol’ which is secured) and th signature of tlio proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual MERITS, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

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 th • different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal I. 1 grew worse until 1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Binco that time 1 have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur m idicine tlie success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWB. I. O. O. F. Tn another column of to-day’s paper will he found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Bliarpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that lie sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure iu bringing it before the notice of tho public.— Odd Fellow, Doonsboro, Sid. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. slr. J. A. Rhodes,—Dear Sir—l 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 BALSASI” for some months without, any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure uud lias not liad a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cnre. 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 sfedicine 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 Xo. 11, C. R. R., Ga., .Tan, 1, 1856. Y’our Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who lias 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. IIAYLEB. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas, &c. ’l he eminent chem ist, Dr. J. It. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that 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 he realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will he noticed that the letters of whicli 1 publish su It immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than 1)11 any newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greater suc cess and sale than cvernttended any cither Ague Remedy. Tlie CrowningGiory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle 0 r two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. it is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all Whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or ild'ous diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
