NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, {

Reason* why il should be used instead “I any other treat- \
rnt tit in all Febrile affection*:
let—Economy of Time.-As only ime-se.vejUli
of ‘.lie ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
til—Kcoiiuiiiy of Money. —As it coats but one
dollar.
3rd. — Er.niiamy of Feeling— Amt kiivm the
guttering of a long sick ness and the consequent treat
ment ; the anuoyance of taking nauseating d0.,0n of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, .11111 tho pain ol
long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
Uh. — 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.
5 lU.—Economy of Hcallli. — As the system
ia not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the lerer
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
Ot It. — Economy of Life. —As the cure isolTocted
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger oi a fatal
termination. ,
Ollier reasons might be edited, but those arc deemeu
sufficient to satisfy ail classes Slid persons in ail condi
tions of lifu.
The above reasons ar more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment oil the first attack, hut will
apply with e 111 al force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding id course
*0 the nature of tbo case at the time it is iirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, lu all ordinary coses, wlien used soon after
tho attack, persons can scarcely realize ttiat ttiey had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
won not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
a little cold, which gave alarm it could have been
nothing of censequence —it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine hod nucffect.” The general
iinpruHsiou on the subject of fever is such, that thought*
not unlike'he above follow tin* cure of a common case
ns naturally as men
(lie individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully
realize tho truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medieine, jet persons, though they have
! ■ on ihiis successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
aspect that thole will eases occtir wle re there is some
organic or local cause so great as to r. quire particular
attention, or though success ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist, It is to guard
against disappointment 111 such cases that i have given
and frequently refer to a hat I have culled a “synopsis.”
Krmtrks ou F vers in General’
On this subject I wisli to be fully understood. Ity tho
term “fever*,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
und other eruptive fever*; but as they arise by a great
vuriety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety id’ forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by tho same general character
istic*—tiiat ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous system*—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in tho pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, I quote from the celebrafed I’rof. T. Watson,
of King's College, Loudon, whose work on the •• I’rinci
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently sUindurdauthorily
On page 834, ho says:—“ Wo hear continually, both in
uiul out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, Plain Fever,
liiiious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
* Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adyumuie, Uastro-Knleric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tho
mind of all this sub-division, is Imd and hurtful. II
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe tor a disease according to its name.. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can bo relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even tho most dissimilar of them, und are often
traceable to the same cause.”
Tho above is a great fact, one worthy <>f remembrance
aud l w ould impress on your uiiuds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat It at once ns hereafter directed, and you
will he. well instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based ou closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but ou experience at the bed
side of tile sick, 111 hundreds, aye, thousands ul eases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to mime, and rest
assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers, llut as cases may liuve be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible tire proper course to be pursued in
all of tile most prominent fevers, though tin, *• itules”

Itules important to he observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be 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 the case under any
circumstance*.
4th. When tile fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of nil extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation lie allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to alt intents and purposes.
sth. 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.
Oth. 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 thorn to speak of it, they aliould have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, .1 some other stimulant; or the fuce and
breast nmy be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
s teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but ibr a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with tho remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
Ily observing tire above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its efforts, the expectations
of the most sanguine realised, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.

Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina* or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
iu fact is the 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 the
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will he hut little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, Mint small pox, it treated as
I direct, wM 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. 011 this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but ail that I hold most dear,
besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of
Prof. Wat on, previously quoted. ilc says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Hero is Mie admission tiuit it may
lie done, i nave not only proven it may he, tint has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship, taco tlie account appended.

sides—’.bough one ol’ two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tlie fever under control. When tlie tlirout is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may bo used, and the
surface battled, as thought advisable.
ill one exse, on the ship Duchess d’Orlcans, the tongue
and Caucus wore so much swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or speak, aud he was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid on Ids tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
wlien 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 übout twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone. —
Used to wet tlie tlirout frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tile mother is liable, will yield to tlie
Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tho
Fluid will arrest it in a short lime, il should be re
peated as long as tlie fever continues, as in other,cases.
Tlie bowels of course should lie attended to.
In connection witii this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded I>y
the ladies, will save them much pain und suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of llieir trials, iu child-birth, its relaxing anil
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie trieil to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com
mon dose aud retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tlie most so of any medicine known, its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous hh well as the circulatory.
It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment us much as possible, 1 give under this bend general
directions for nil cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid
will change tlie condition called tever, or subdue and
control it under ail circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie 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
he appropriate menus, and these sohuid be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost As tlie Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
if the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tho first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
witli diarrhoea, givo something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of tatter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tlie part; if
violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe
tlie feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
Whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will tie no trou
ble ; if tlie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted. give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or wlien indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomitiug. Unit must tie
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good: for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tho 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 alt the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other cireuiustances, giving the
“ Fluid” nt tlie same time as directed, and success Will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will Iw astonished at tlie ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of tho different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics.—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 good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on tho liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different sell,nils
tor this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fllienee. And one may choose calomel—auother, bluo
mass—the third, podophylliu—the fouith. 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, mils aud bitter herbs. Bone*
sc: or tlioroughwort is one of the best used iu fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have tlio effect.
Stimulants. Articles that raise or excite tlie
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best •
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are ail more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are genctullv
used, but the Negative Klectric Fluid is a bet'er •> dia
phoretic, ’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than kuowu iu .lie materia meitica

WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MyViiii.l4.liV OR. MI2VSM2V.
t piIKSK diseases are common to many localities ot the
JL United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, bast or West, they all equally spring worn the
same iiiiasniul eause. The ureat variety ot sy mptonis and
forms of disease is owing p.iucipally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; but as tlie
cause is the tame, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cau.,e.
By the laws of Nature, every principle has 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 aud vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is tho Batue in character and effect; is a poi
son flouting in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. • tccordanee with those unalterable laws
governing . unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, thei. n tlie preparation before us, offered to
tlie public,
Tlie . cal Antidote to Maluria,
which neuli. ■ * -he poison whenever it comes iu con
tact with it. • .1 the open air, and when taken inter
nally rumple ty purifies the system affected by it ol its
baneful influence, und thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un
known to any nut tho proprietor, who distinctly claims
tlie following extraordinary results from its use :
It will iiiniuiitly check the ague iu persons who have
suffered fur any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, anil by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should niuk- its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in Hie system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, aud wlien tlie disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent tlie ucce.-siuu of
General Debility- und Night Sweats,
which so often follow tlie administration of other mode
cincs. 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 be banished from
every lamily and class iu tho community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti
cle as a
Preventix-c,
And pursue tlieir respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of tlie CURE in every part of
the United States, its success lias been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
Wlien these declarations wore made at the date of its
introduct.n, they seemed incredible to many, even of
tlie most candid minds, because all the resources cf
science had been taxed in 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 poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometime.- worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their puis nous effects are superadded
to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tho maker* ol them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Uarmlcssness,
The following certificate from on of tlie most celebrated
chemists in tlie United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle:
\lw 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 ll'ound
any substance in its composition Mint w ould prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn foci, then tore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to and- an equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
Tlie entire absence of any baneful ingredient make-s
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed u the one
under consideration, if the medicine bo taken in advance.
This is ow ing to the diseases being produced by oue and
tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking iu their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the 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 iu
a liiiious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleans the stomach
and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must betaken
or the operation of the antidote will he seriou.ly ob
structed.
Only Caution. —lll certain specified cases, pour
tlie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in
sleeping rooms; for tho vapor rising from tlie medicine,
aud also tlie air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
auil destroy, to a deg. ce commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tlie Core should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles iu whicli this medicine is put up have tlie
words, “Kitonxs’ Fever ami A cue Cure'’ blown in the
glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is tlio name of the
medicine, (tlie copyright of which is. secured) and tlio
signature of the proprietor. These precautions aro
taken to prevent counterfeits ami imitations.
The reliance for its sitofss is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will he considered sufficient.

by all who have used it us being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jcsamine
the pure decoction of Wild Cherry Hark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than uny
other Cough Medicine iu this country.

New ORLEANS, April 0, 1855.
Deal-Sir—The public generally are fully aware of Mie
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*. Pills. Plasters. Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to tlieir -notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce tin- public, or at least those
who are afflicted, lo use one that contains articles of
Seal Isc in I‘ulmouarg Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing. 1 am acting most unprofessional!)-,nnd dcroga
torlly to the Interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioner* of Medicine. T refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin. Miss., May 1, 1856.
0. O. YVoodman—Dear Sir: 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial aud am well pleased with its ef
fects: better than any other article I ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen I Kit
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
YV. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which bus attended its use. For
roughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its |ieeullnr properties as a dlssolvi nt
nnd its soothing power to all irritalieus of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also he found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping tin- digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
lias stood tlie test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of. and recommended by the lending
Physician* of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or tlio money refunded. YVc guaran
tee i'to he better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver

RHODES’ FEVER AND AGUE CURE,
OU
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Uure.
NO POISON. PROOFS S
See what the President oi the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever aud Ague Cure, or An- j
tidote to Malariu:
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
lIAYJNG noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
il given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in tover of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mer
curp ,ior Strychnine, -nd having received numerous ap
plications for it, 1 was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for tlie medicine. Since then l have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of t his city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer. I am,
therefore, satisfied iu recommending it to be till that
the proprietor represents.

Haul tlie Ague for Twelve Years !
Providence, June 2'J. 1555.
Having been informed of the illness of a poor, hut
worthy woman, who has not been fire e from Fever and
Ague a month at a time for the lust twelve years, 1 sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. Sin- took in all four bottles which completely re
stored her to heattli and strength, and as four months
have now elapsed, there is 110 reason to doubt the perma
nency of tlie cure.

Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1855.
James A. Rhodes, Esq.—-Dear Sir:—l have just sent
an order to Ames A llalliday for another half gross of
your Feverand Ague Cure, ft lias sold like “ Uot (dikes,”
and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and teld them to try
it, und if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had oue 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 I*. GLADDING.
24 Bottles Perform 24 Cures.
Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—The box of “ Ague
Cure” you sent us has all been sold und created a large
demand for more; to meet which we have ordered
from your genera! agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.
Its sale will only be equalled by tho number of Fever
and Ague cases. Hoping these cases may be few, yet
have a bottle for every case.
YYe remain respectfully yours,

punctual in payment. X inclose fifteen dollars on tlie
medicine I have received, for which please send me a

Dit. J. A. Rhodes— Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It lias not
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent

bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four
dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATIIROP A MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several
months since, and in spite of th - different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my heal 1 j grew ivorse until
1 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 y jur m nlicine the success that it inerts,
I remain truly yours,

In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an
advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever nnd Ague Cure.”
YY'e are not ia the habit of puffing 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 110 sold several dozen bottles, and iu
every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi
cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it
before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Boimsbaro,

Evidence from a Clergyman.
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 has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a battle of
the Cure and lias not 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. Y'ours truly.
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticbllo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been ill 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, 1856.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. ‘ W. A.HAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced OS’ rapidly as possible inlo every town and village
in the United State*, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It ia therefore optional with all to have
tho Fever and Ague or not, .just as they please.
1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers are those who a year ngo were reluctant even to
take the Cure on cointtiission. 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 sn li immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater ?tu
cest-. and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The f i-(miiingt.'lory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Titus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sicklv sea
sons, not. u man woman or child iu the United States
would ever luive a single attack of Fever and Ague
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
a; a Restorative, giving new life and strength to nil
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened l>v
“(jp® or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor nnd de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
