NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared I ty X. W. Seat, M. B. Reasons why it, should be used instead of any other treat- i ment in all Febrile affection* : Ist.—Economy off Time.—As only one-seventh of the ordinary tlino is required to effect a cure. 2d Economy of Money.—Aa it c.aitß hut one dollar. 3rd Economy of Feeling— As it aavea the guttering of a long sickness and tlie consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating donee of medicine, their diaagreealde operation, and the pain oi long confinement; but little of the fluid being neceaaary, aud that pleasant in its effects. 4th. —Economy of Thought.—Aa when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present misting, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. sth.—Economy off Health. —Aa the system la not reduced, aud consequently racked; nor is the fever subjoct to he followed by chronic disease. Itth.—Economy of I.lie.—Aa the cure iseffectcd before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger ol a fatal termination. Other reasons might he added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. I'he above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the iirst 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 it is iirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can ncurculy realize that they Inal been really much sick, aud very naturally conclude th y war i not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been iiotliitig of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine leal noeffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until tlie individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully realise tlie truth; and even then ho may conclude them all very ti tiling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they imve been thus successful iu perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur wli-re there is some organic or local cause so groat as to require particular attention, or though auceess.ul iu reducing the fever, it will again rise as tlie influence of tlie “ Fluid” passes <>lf, us the exciting cause may still exist. Il ls to guard against disappointment iu such cases that I have given and frequent iy refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Ucmarks on Fevers tn tieneraJ’ On lids subject I wish to be fully understood. By the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small jinx and other eruptive fevers; but us they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitution* and habile, they of course differ considerably in tbeir development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all arc distinguished by tlie same general character istics—that ol undue excitement iu tlie circulatory null nervous systems- —inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tlie skill, debility, Ac. To show Hint I am not wholly iiloiie in tlie opinion I sdvance, 1 quote from the oelehrafcd I’rof. T. Watson, ol King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our modicul colleges, andconaequently stain lord authnrity. 1(11 page 83+, lie says;—“We bear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spin ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic wrilers are to the full as particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, GastrisKnteric, anil so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itscll under various forms, l am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all tliiß sub-division, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe tor a disease according to its name. There is no lino of genuine distinction botween continued fevers, that can be relied on. They mil insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, aud are often traceable to tlie same cause. The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up nr troubling youiself about a “name,-” it you imve lover, treat it at once as hereafter directed, aud you will l>e well instead of any distinetcharaeter being devel oped, so as to be properly named by tlie most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience ut the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others; under u 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. But as cases may have be come developed before the “Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under Some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in all of tlie most prominent fevers, though the •• Rules” and “ Synopsis” will tie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. links important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Jikctric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in throe or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. -d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always lie freo ventilation in tlie siok room,) nor attempt to go about white under its in fluence. :td. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to he resumed when it begins to rise again, should such lie the case under uuv circumstances. 4tn. When tlie fever begins to subside, patients must Ik- lelt perfsotly 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 tbeir oui natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, iiutuce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but tie left quiet to ail intents aud purposes. 6th. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as plentifully, aud 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. dth Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after tlie lever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should Imve a lift’ wine, toddy, camphor, hurt shorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the fore and breast muy be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from (1 to 8 drops, “ over 1 aud under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “ “ “2 “ 6 ’ “ “ 12 to (it) “ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ “0 to 50 “ “ b “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persous over fifteen considered as adults, for whom H leaspoouful is a common dose. Old persons do uot require us much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, us 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 for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with tlie remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable ill all of its efforts, tlie expectation of tlie most I liguine 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 ob servances. Bilious or Remittent Fever. Uive a toaspouful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till till) fever is evidently passiug off; this constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of fever, with such observances us are set forth iu the “ Buies.” lint should there he prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should bo attended to at once, aud while giving the •• Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any ease the bowels are particularly constipated or con lined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must be opened or tlie fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or up-.vards, ami tlie putieut is not particularly susceptible to tlie influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teospoouaful may bo given at iirst with advantage, and even repeated iu two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened thus showing the medicine lias taken effect.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly In degree, being all of „ i.,„ KrH , u<> th „ ~ small and wiry, with a general great depression, there i. no practical use In separating them-at least so far as hLn.v treatment is concerned.

In I,ad cases, frcMi three to live grains each of quinine 1 and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu *ant ysue auxiliaries) should Ire added to eucii dose. The , bowels should he kept gently open, and small iiortiuus 1 of some liegalv'. should be given occasionally, oven though the bowels should ho very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous I drinks—such us are in Cos mm on use iu such cases.— j Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di- : rooted iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should lie used during convalescence, iu all cases j which have liecome reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. • Jive a teaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bonegot; or half the quantity may ho given every hour till relieved, i then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours, i The boneset tea should bo given warm till the violent 1 symptoms are allayed, or till) patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of tlie kind, to lie applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Kubeol.a and Scnrla tinat or Small Pox, Varioloid, Aleasles, and Iscariot Fever. As all of these diseases are attended wltti fever, which in 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 otlier, or neither, as they all commence with fever , but treat it at once; govern the lever and there will he no trouble; there will be but little, eruption even iu small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridieule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make tlie assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be. cat short ; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, aud that there is no necessity of its ruimiug its ordinary course. On this I will suike not only my reputation, hut a l that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874; “You may abate the force of tlie eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission that it may he done. 1 nave uot only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship, bee tlie account appended. Give a teaspoonfui or more, according to tlie urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once ill two hours if uecesaary, until tlie feversub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep tlie fever under control. When tlie tiiroat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and tlie surface bullied, us thought advisable. in one case, on tlie ship Duchess d'Orleuns, tlie tongue and liturus were so much swollen that tire patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on Ids tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow, when ii was given in teaspoonful ‘loses every four, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such eases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to tlie Negative Electric Fluid with sucli readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teuspoonful, utmost invariably giving entire aud per manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should he attended to. Iu connection with this snbject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by Hie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of tlie Fluid iu many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie 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 tlio most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known, its effect is uniform, relaxing the w hole system, removing all excitability and iritability of tlie nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not torce sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, aud condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give uuder this head general directions for all eases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may he or ought to be called, it should lie given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur iu any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soliuld lie 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 the-, Fluid” alone will sub due Hie fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, given cathurtic (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 diurrhu-a, give something known to lie good fur that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tlie part; if violent paiu in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe tlie feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry und hot, with great suffering, sponge or huthe tlie whole surface with water at an agreeablo temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar ami water or spirits and water, cither will afford great relief und aid tlie medi cine in taking effect, after which there will V*e no trou ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics aud stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient lias become re duced; if there is nausea and vomitiug, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse Uie stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as yon would under any other circumstances, giving the •• Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success w ill crown your efforts; indeed, you caunot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease vvi.h which you cau control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. l’nrties may feel at a loss to know vvliat is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found itu such necessity When using tlie Fluid, and to lie fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, vis:— Cat iiartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tlie roots or barks, and many pills, antibiliuus, Ac.; anything known to lie good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by tlie different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its In* lluonce. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so ou; each may take his choice and be sue- COSHflll. Tonim*—Article* that give tone or utrengtli, such Lo quinine* varu us barks, i\>otß ami bitter herbs. Bone set or thorough wort in one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such us check the action of tho bowels. IsHudannmand other preparations of opium are useii; also* many mixtures, not properly Rtrii:iretits. which have tlie effect. BiiiuulantSt—Articles that raise or excite tho system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie licet; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tin* essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tlie only classes necessa ry ill treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” •• anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in the materia mediea. I shall not tax the reader with a long list “of proofs, depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on tlie Parkrtship Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot tie classed among ordinary certificates- We, tlie undorsigned, certify to tlie following, viz— M e took passage on the |iaokotshlp Duchess d’Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’ and bound for New York.

Tho great variety ol symptoms and forms ut disease is owing principally to difference iD age, sex, constitution and habits of the sutferers; hut us tlie cause is tlie 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 lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. Ail Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, ileeouipo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to tlie public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in theoiien air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies tho system uttocted by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. Tlie remedy is believed to lie entirely new, and un known to any hut tho proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly check the ague in persous 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 he effected; tlie patient contin uing free from tlie complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. iu its peration upon the poison in Hie system, it will immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, aud when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other lnede cines. The patient at once begins to roever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect, health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; formers, mo chunk's, and all laboring people maybe using this 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 theni-the most valuable part of tlie year. Since tlie introduction of tlie CURE in every part of tlie United .States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions iu favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made at the date of its introduction, 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, sucli as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when sucli remedies foil, or give only temporary relief, their puis nous effects jre superadded to tlie poor sufferer’s iirst complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken witli perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that tlie Remedy is not only valuable ou account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular aiul Entire Ilarmlessuess, The lollowing certificate from on of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to t-veiy 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 uot found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance iu its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JANIES R. CHILTON, 51. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to reiieve Hie human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which iloharm. 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 the 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 aud travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use of this preventive, and not wait fur the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself iu 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 ill a Bilious climate now accompany eacli bottle. It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibiliuus purgative.

MASOF, Apothecary. TO Bottles Perforin 70 Cures. Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1855. James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent an order to Ames ,fc Ilalliday for another hall’ gross of your Fever and Ague Cure, it lias sold like “ Hot Cakes,” aud J have only two loitt'es on hand. One reason it lias sold, is because when 1 have heard of a ease of Ague or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and telil Ihem to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. 1 had one case of Chill Fever w here it run four days, but the man came to Bee me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN I‘. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perform 24 Cures. Moline, Hi., Bept. 24, 1555. Mit. James A.

Some who have been troubled witli tlie distress ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one bottle of the Cure. Please send u< immediately lour dozen, as we have hut three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN. y 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, aud in spite of th • different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal i . grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever aud 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 idicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of today’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that lie sold several dozen bottles, and in 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, Boonsboro, Mil. Sept. 4. Evidence from n 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 iiere 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 tlie same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like u charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOI3. Unsolicited Evidence from a Plijsician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1856. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in tlie practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it iu a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, W*. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. It. It., Oa., Jan. 1, 1850. Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who baa been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 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 as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United .“tales, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. K.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. J 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 tlie litters of which 1 publish su ii immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, und prove the foet of u greater suc cess and sale than ever attendee] inv other Ague Remedy Tlie Ci-ownSzßig Glory oftlie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its tree use as a preventive. Thus protected liy using a bottle or two during tlie warm and sickly sei sons, not a man woman or child in tlie United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague liilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick und permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life ami strength to all whose constitutions linve been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor und de bility or any kind ot intemperance or dissipation.
