An tliirt remedy give. so prompt, effectual and perma mint rebel, in ail ordinary canon, whan iirtcd soon after the attack, person, can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally coneludu they were not attacked with fever, mid if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed oO with out anything—that medicine had noetlect.

In General* On tliiH subject I wish to be fully understood, liy tbu term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including email jinx and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitution, and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a vari ty of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that ol undue excitement in tlio circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural f e quoncy in the pulse, seiisu of beat, dryness id’ the skin, debility, Ac. ‘l'o show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated I’rof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the ** Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority. On page 8;u. he says:—"We hear continually, liotli in nnd out of the profession, different species of fever spie ken of. Ity the public, Typhus Fever, llrain Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to tho full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Ga*tro-Knteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that invar shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tho mind of all tliits sub-division, is bad and hurtful, it encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro scribe for a disease according to its name.. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds tho folly of hunting up or troubling youiself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you wilt be well instead of nny distinct character being devel oped, so as 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, iu 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 once without regard to name, and 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” iH given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as brielly as possible tiie proper course to bo pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick. liules important to be. observed in all cases in using the Negative, Electric Fluid. . Ist. It should be givon In three or four times Its own quautity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d- Patieuts must lie free from ail currents of air, (though there should always bo l'reo ventilation in tho sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its iu tluenco. ad. 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 the cuso under any circumstances. 4th. When tiie fever la-gins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not lie questioned as to their wauls or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. tith. Should patients experience any- oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has 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 face and breast may be 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 1 and under 2 years, •• 6to 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 6 “ 1” to 30 “ “ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ ”0 to 50 “ “ 3 “ 16 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 as young, or those in tiie prime of life; nor females, us a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it so children—those of ten year* of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide. 1 Imve given the above table, witli tiie remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, tiie medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the exportations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is. that the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and uot on account of any actual necessity of such strict els servances. Hi lions or Kriiiiltrut Fever. Give a teasponful of •• Fluid” (see rule Ist) unco in two hours, till file fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in ill! simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth ill the “Rules.” But should there lie prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, nnd while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If ill any case the h wels are'particularly constipated or confined, give a u hurtle (see auxiliaries with the first portion ; they nr lbe opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse mulling 110 or upwards, nnd the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or ‘two teaspoonsfiil may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—tin* pulse—bus not bocu softened, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and w-ator, ill those difficult cases, w ill afford relief and aid tho medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two toa.se -oustul and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full amt soft, then only a tea spoonful, to bo discontinued as the fever subside* As the bowels are generally confined, ami it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease bo 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; enemas (injections) mav also be used to advantage; aiso, mustard to the extremities or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may lie add.si 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 a R 0 f a low grade, the pu’ * small and wiry, with age oral great depression, there is uo practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will he required- still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks u n , “ the co,nm ° n treatment, while with this but a f,. w ,i MVH c w o"vXcrr y at lonKeßt ,o pstni>,ish p-r.£Xt imTliSi* t T*f 8houl(i be commenced—whieh nmv immediately follow an y other without detriment— w ith ft teaspoon Ail of “Fluid*’ every two hours, till the miise rncoTn six’ ersiaht**, 8 ” in ,T? lumo ’ then to be continue,l >nco in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides In bad owes, from three to five K ains eacti of quinine and capsicum (Cayenne, pepper) o’ some tonic and stimu lant (see anxiliarii s) Should lie v Wed to each dose. Tlio bowels should be kept gently o’ hui, and small portions of Home hepatic should be given occasionally, even though the bowels should lx, very loose. The patient should lm sustained by no'urishing and nmcilagcnous drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface us di rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu all cam s which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give a teaspoonful of the “fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or half the quantity may lie given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should bo given warm till tlio violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over the scat of pAi; keep tlio bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. At. all of these diseases are attended witli fever, which in fact is tiie most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “name,,” whether it is one or tiie oi lier, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but treat it at on r •; govern tiie fever and there will be no trouble; there will be bid little, eruption even in small ]sx. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will he regarded w ith ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as ) direct, will be. cut short; attended witli hut little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its miming its ordinary course. On this 1 will slake not only my reputation, bnt u.i that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874; ” Von may abate the force of tho eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tiie admission that it may be done. 1 nave not only proven it maybe., hut bus been done in numerous coses that occurred on board ship. .See the account appended. Give a teuspoonfui or more, according to tlio urgency of tlio case, with a doso of salts or castor oil; repeat tlio Fluid once in two hours it necessary, until tho fever sub sides—'.lumgli one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient; but it should bo giveu and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tiie ordinary gargles may be used, and tiie surface bathed, as thought advisalile. In one case, on tiie ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and Caucus were so much swollen that tiie patient could not swallow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping tiie Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when ii was given in teaspootiful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle, in all such cases. Puerperal or Child bed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tiie Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should he re peated as long as the f-ver continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In counectionwith this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which,’ if regarded by tlio ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of tho happy effect of tho Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will ho 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 formally of the ills of females, if not tho most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tiie whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of tiie nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep liko opiates, but it will sooth and quiet tho 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 moat us much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for ail cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue ami control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlio name, it may he or ought to tie 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 such exist, must be removed in 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 then moro readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the 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 the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlio “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or intliiiniuation, apply somo stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tiie part; if violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ico water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bailie the feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry ami hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tho 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 ble ; it’ the patient ln been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low levels, in alounco of fever or when indicated: also, during convalescence, when the patient lias become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie allayed before any medicine will remain on tiie stomach to do any goad; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tlio stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the 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 tiie “Fluid” at tho same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant l>y cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about w hat is used. I have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, nnd to he fully understood by all, I will name a lew of the different articles of modi cine I have referred to, viz:— Aal hurtles.—Articles that purge or operate on tho bowels, stieh as eastor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good forsucli purposes. lit pa t irs.—Anything known to act on tho liver partieularly, portal circulation anil secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer wheu used in connection with tho “Fluid” or while the system is under its in- Ulienee. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliyliin—tlio fourth, mandrake root, and so on; cacti may take his choice and be sue cosstul. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots ami bitter herbs. Bone set or tliorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents. —Such as check the action of tho bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tlio system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tiie 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 Electric Fluid is a licCer “dia phoretic,” ••anodyne.” “diuretic.” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in tile materia medico. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list"of proofs depending mainly on tiie results of a trial, and will’ only refer to one instance of success, that on the Pnckctshlp Duchess O’Orleans. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following viz— We took passage on the pnoketship Duchess d'Orleans Capt llutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France and bound for New Voi k. She sailed on the tqh of Aui gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated by the physician in charge, ltr. N. W. Seat, with anew remedy of his own. which ho calls Negative ’ Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control over tlio disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing iu 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 witli uiiu suni promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion. posst ssc-s inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled w ith so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

No Poison! j Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure; I On Antidote to Malaria; FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and other intermittent atul Remittent Fevers; also of Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp tom) ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship uml .lail Fever, General Debility, Night Sweats, and all oilier forms of disease WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN MAIjAIYXA. Old MIASMA. ritJIE.SE diseases are common to many localities of the JL United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from tlio same miaxmul cause. The great variety oisymptoins ami forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and liubits of tiie sufferers; but us the cause is tiie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Jiy the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tiie same in character and effect; is a poi son flouting in the atmosphere,causing diseasetoall who breuflie it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing tho unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tho preparation before us, offered to the public, Tine Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it conn s in con tint with it, even in tiie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it oi its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to lie entirely new, and un known to any but tho proprietor, who distinctly claims the 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 the 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 tiie system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of Geuerul Debility nnd Night sweats, which so often follow tiie administration of other mede dues. Tiie patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use F’ever and Ague may bo banished from every family and class iu tiie community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may lie using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CURB in every part of tlio United States, its success lias 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 dale of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all i lie resources of science had been taxed iu vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat 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, Sulicine, Ac. Tiie effects of these are sometimes worse than tho disease they subdue, aud when aueh remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, tlieir poisonous effects are superadded to tlio poor 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 tlieir 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 tlicit it is also Worthy of Public Confide lice, Because of its Singular and Kutirc Harmlessness, Tiie following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ F’evei and Agile 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. CHILTON, 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 an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. Tiie entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes tliis Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an.i the same cause, aud 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 the poison before it does harm. F’ull directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious 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 biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or tiie operation of tiie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—Tn certain specified cases, pour tlio contents of one or moro bottles of tlio Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tho air wafted 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 iu 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 tiie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown iu the glass, and on tho outside wrapper is tlio name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlio signature of the propiituir. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The RELIANCE FOR ITS SUCCESS IS ENTIRELY UPON ITS ACTUAL merits, wherever introduced nnd used.

GREAT TRIUMPHS AND UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF RHODES’ FEVER AND AGUE CURE, OH ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA: Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure. NO POISON. PROOFS 1 See what the President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An tidote to Malaria: St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855. HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. K. Chilton, of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap plications for it, 1 was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes for the medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva riably been cured by it, and to whom I can refer. 1 am, therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that the proprietor represents, EDWARD S. IVHEATON, Fresd’t of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri. llal tiie Ague for Twelve Years 1 Providence, June 29, 1855.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent an order to Ames & Holliday for another half gross of yoiuF’everand Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cukes,” and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, aud they were all satisfied. 1 had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but themancaine to see me on the sixtli day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perforin 2 1 Cures. Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1855. Mr. James A.

Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. 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 BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Curo and lias uot had a chill since. A young man also used the 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 in tiie 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. ]!.. Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Curo 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 slml) do all I can in 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 into every town and village in tlie United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent cliem ist. Dr. J. 11. Chilton, til New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tiie 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 ho noticed that the letters ot which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would moro than fill any newspaper, and prove tlio fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tire 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 sicklv 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 nil whoso constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and do cility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation. .TAME’S, A.
