Other reasons might he added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all Condi tioiiH of life. The above reasons arc more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course •o the nature of the case at the time (tls lirst adminis tered. As tliis remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, In all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons tail scarcely realize ttint they hail been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y wor-i not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—lt could have been nothing of consequence—it would liavp passed off with out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general impiession on the subject of fever Is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally ns men think at all; and it is not until the individual lias witnessed many cases that he can fully realise the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very flitting 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 fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause mav still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that J have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.” Remarks on Etvers In Uencrab On this subject 1 wish to he fully understood. Jly 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, uud ill quite dissimilar constitutions and liahilK, they of course differ considerably in tln ir development uiul exhibit n variety of forms or types; yet ail are distinguished by the same 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 simw i bat I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance. I quote from tlu> celebrafcd Prof. ‘J'. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the “Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority. 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, Drain Fever, Hilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full us particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, ami so forth. Now. admitting Hint fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is hud and hnrtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe ior a disease according to its mime. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, flint can bo relied on. They run insensibly into each other, oven tlio 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 imprest on your minds the folly of bunting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you toill be well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel oped, so as to he properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed side of the sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of oases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear lb is in mind, mid treat at ouce without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe us briefly as pos ; ble the proper course to be pursued in ul! of tlio most prominent fevers, though the “ Kules” and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tlio sick. Knits important to hr observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should he given in throe or four times its own quantity of water, and limy lie sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must lie 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 passing off; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be tlio ease under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or tukc'uny exercise whatever, till their awn natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to nil intents and purposes. sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentiluily, and as 1 tig as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simplu decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties umy prefer or patients desire. 6th. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever lias passed off', or enough to occasion them to speak of It, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn., lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the faro and breast maybe bathed iu cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OP DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ 6to 16 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 * “ l2 to 30 “ <* “6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over llfteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require us much as young, or t'"wo in the prime of life; nor females, as a genera l rule, as much as males. There is no particular enre necessary in 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 the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults iq proportion. lty observing the above directions, the medicine will be 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 beuetit of the medicine may lie obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Hilious or Kemltteot Fever. Uive a teaspouful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tlie fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes tlio whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth ill the “ Kules.” But should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to ut once, and while glviug the “ Fluid.” See Syuopsis. If in any case the b wels are particularly constipated or conflned, give a . iihartic (see auxiliaries) wltli the 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 the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teuspoonsful may be giroll a; .lrst with advantage, um( even repeated In two hours —if it—the pulse—has uet been 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 ami repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full ntnl soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As the bowels arc generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease no time should be lost to get them open, give some active’ cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary till it operates; euemas (injections) may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing! with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid’’ if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever. Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, witlt a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so fir as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required • still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under | the common treatment, while with this but a few days I will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent f convalescence. The treatment should lie commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment with a teaspoonful of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pntse becomes fuller or larger | n volume, then to be continued >nce In six or eight hours till tho fever entirely subsides. In bad cas<js, from three to five grains each of quinine j and caps'xum (Cayenne pepper) or some-tonic and stiniu- ; hint (hi e auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. Ihe bowels should lie kept gently open, and small portions ■ of some hepatic should lie given occasionally, even ! though the bowels should be very loose. The patient | should be sustained by nourishing and uiucilagenous drinks—such as are in common use in such cases,— , W hero the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will he louml advantageous. Tonics should he used during convalescence, in all cases ; which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Given teaspoonful oi the “Fluid” every tw’o hours, with a wine-glassful ofa strong decoction ol lioneaet; or half the quantity may lie given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boueset tea should be given warm till tlie violent symptoms are allayed, or tiie patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over the seal of pain; keep tlio bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, ltubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As ail of these diseases are attended with fever, whicli in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “ ntt/tie,” whether it is one or tlie other, or neither, as they all commence with fece.r, hut treat it at once; govern the fever and there will ho lio trouble; there will he but tittle eruption even iu small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will lie cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. (Jn this 1 will Htuko not only my reputation, but ail that X hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; ttiut_of Prof. B atson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, mid keep down, it is believed, the number qf the, pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may he done. 1 nave not only proven it may be,, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship, hue the account appended. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of Hie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the ieversub— sides—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient; but it should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep tlio fever under control. When tlie throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may bo used, and tiie surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on tlie ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that tlie patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could sw allow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best yaryle iu all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tlio Negative Electric Fluid witli 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 be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a Short time. I t should be re peated as long ns the fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. Iu connection with this subject, 1 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 tlie Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlio labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he 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 tlie 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 us the circulatory. It will not forco sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet tlie 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 ruses. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue and 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 sueli exist, must be removed iu order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will tiien more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then he lost. As the‘, Fluid” alone will sub due tlio fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bow’eis are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) witli the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended witli diarrhoea, give something known to ho good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tiie “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard piaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tlio head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, witli great suffering, spongo or bathe tlie whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature; “tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tlio medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; it tlie patient lias been reduced 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 has 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 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “Fluid” at tlie same time as directed, and success w ill crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have econ. aud then you will bo astonished at tlie ease witli which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know wliat is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about w hat is uscrl. 1 have found uo such necessity when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz : Cat hart les.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to be goodforsuch purposes. lleputtcg. —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 thu “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliylliu—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. Hone ser or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents. —Such as check the action of tho bow els, lsrudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tho essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Klectric 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 tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Packet skip Duelirsg D'Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, tho undersigned, certify to tho following, viz— We took passage on the packetahip Duchess d'Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying iu the port of Havre. France and bound for New York. Sbe sailed on the Oth of Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the smail pox broke out among tho emigrants, They were all treated liy the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Scat, with anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Elec trie Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. Freni what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before hoard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

X.ARIA OK MIASMA, ri MIK.SE uiseasesare common to many localities of tlie X United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they ull equally spring Rom tlie same iuiasuial cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution aud habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle bus its opposite, and lor every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son UoaLiug iu the atmosphere,causing diseasetoall who breathe it. iu accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is iu tlie preparation before us, offered to the public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Maluria, wliicli neutralizes the ;ioison whenever it conics in con tact with it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, uud thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly cheek 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 tlie direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve all tlio distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tlie accession of General Debility ami Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other np*de 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 bo banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using tills arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season, which is often to them tlie most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete aud 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 tlio most candid minds, because all (he resources cf 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, sueli as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, aud when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects ire superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret F'ever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even w hen 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 the most celebrated chemists in the United States has 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. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn Diet, 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 the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as tlie 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 l>y tlie timely use of tliis preventive, aud not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tlie 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 I’hysician 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 autibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tiie object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free tlio biliary passoues. Remember that where thi i necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or tin* operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, I and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tho air watted across, or circulated over the 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 in the 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 the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the 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.

I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perform 24 Cures. Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1855. Mil. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—The box of “ Ague Cure” you sent us lias all been sold and created a largo demand for more; to meet which we have ordered from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington. Its sale will only be equalled by the number of Fever and Ague cases. Hoping these cases may he few, yet have a bottle for every case. We remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS A ALLEN. 19 Bottles Perform 19 Cures. LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER. Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1855. Mr. J. A.

I give it to them at first, ‘if no cure no pay,’ although I was not authorized by you to do so; but t took tlie responsibility on myself.— But not a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out of the art icle I wish you would forward me one gross of tlie bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will be punctual in payment.

Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855. Dr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —Your Cure for the Fever and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one bottle of the Cure. Please send u immediately four dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATHItOP A MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, 1 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, a rift 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. Wishing yjur m ‘diciue the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, TIIGMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of putting medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Shnrpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to he good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsberro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. .T. 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 has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit —a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used tho same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle 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 iu 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., Jan. 1, 1850. Y’our Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just culled 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 the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every’ town and village in tho United States, Canadas, Ac. 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 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 be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether tliev would more than iillany newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tle Crowning 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 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 tho 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 Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
