NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLTTID, Prepared toy N. VV. Seat, M. D. Reason* why It should l) used instead cd’ any other treat ment in all Febrile affections : I Mi—Economy of Time.— As only one-seveidh of the ordinary time is requir**t to effect a cure. i*l. Economy of Motley.—As it costa but one dollar. :ird. —Econumy of Feeling.— As it saves the suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of modicino, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; hut little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. 4tli.—Economy of Ttiouglit. —As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. sLll.—Economy of Health. — As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. Oth.— Economy of Life. —As the cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might bo added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. Thu above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut 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 first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, whou used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli y wen not attacked with fever, and if so, “it wits trifling --a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would Imve passed off with out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general impre .Sion on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike tho above follow tin-cure of a common case as i ttiii'ully as men think at nil; and it is not until the individual lias witnessed many'cases th at he can fully realize the truth; and even then ho may conclude them all very t’ itiiug cases, which would have readily yielded to ntiy simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect Ibut there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success.ul in reducing the fever, it will again rise as tho influence of tho “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause uin.v still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in sum cases that l have given ami frequent ly relcr to what I have called a “synopsis.” Uentarks on Fevers In (.eneral* On this subject I wish to he fully understood. Jly the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habile, tiny of course differ considerably in tlieir development amt exhibit a variety of form, or types; yel all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or less uiinutiiral fre quency in the pulse, sense of boat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in tho opinion I advance, I quote from the celcbrafed Prof. T. Watson, ot King's College, London, whose work on tho “ J'lincl pies and I’ractieo of Physic” is a text hook in many of oil’- medical colleges, and consequently sta Tula rd a nth nrity. On page 834, he says :—“Wo hear continually, both ill and out of the profession, different species of fever -po kou id'. Uy the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Knteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, l am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bud and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, alreudy too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to tho same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance anil l would impress on your minds tho folly of limiting up or troubling yourself about a “ name,” If you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you wilt t>e well instead of any distineteharaeter being devel oped, so as to he properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a’ great variety of cir cumstances, seasons ami climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at onco without regard to name, and rest assured yon will soon ho freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of tho most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Rules imjiin tanl to be observed in all casrs in using the. Xegative Electric Fluid. Ist. ft should be given In three or four times its own quantity of water, and may lie sweetened or not at pleasure. ‘ Jd. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always be tree ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in ti ueuce. a t. It must tie continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to lie resumed when it begins to rise again, should such he the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside,patients must tie lett perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not ho questioned as to their wants or feelings, no attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, iruluce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation bo all, -,ved in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to alt intents and purposes. utli. Fluids should lie allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and uo longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either mid or warm, os parties may prefer or patients desire. tith. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so hs to occasion a restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant ; or the face and breast may be bullied in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TAIILK OF DOSES, For children of one year or under, from ff to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “ “ “ i “ 5 “ “ 12 to BO “ “ “ 5 lO “ “ 20 to 60 “ “ A “ 16 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom # 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 teu years of ago frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given tho above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will lie found agreeable in all of its effects, tho expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that tho full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Uillons or Remittent Fever. Give a tcaspouful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off ; this constitutes the whole treatment in till simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the “ Rules.” Rut should there he prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any case the bowels arc particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion; they must he opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running lit) or Upwards, and tho patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by tu -divine generally—a double dose, or ‘two teaspoonsful may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if R—the pulse—has not been softened, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surtaco witli water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water. 11l these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid tho medicine much iu taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only u tea spoonful, to ba discontinued as the fever subside* As the bowels are generally confined, and It is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in t his disease, no time should lie lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may la- neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also to used to advantage; also, mustard to tho extremities or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid” If thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous F.ver, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these levers ara all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them-at least so far as lUV treatment Is concerned. In these low <evera when Lilly developed, a little patl.-nce will he required- still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under tin* common treatment, wlui. with this hut a few days k ** 1 ° nK< ‘ St ,0 * rt “ ,,lkh * permanent In sh °nl<l be commenced—which niav follow any other withou* detriment with a teaspoon Oil of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger In volume, then to be continued lues in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine j and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu- j lant (sec auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. The j bowels should he kept gently open, and small portions | of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even j though the bowels should be very loose. The patient I should lie sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous ! drinks—such as are in common use iu such caseH. — ! Where tlio skin is very dry, sponging the surface as tii- , reeled ill bilious fever, will he found advantageous. Tonics should he used during convalescence, iu all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give a teuspoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hours, witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bum-set; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The bones*!t tea should be given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to he applied over the seat of paiu; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As ail of these diseases are attended with 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 “, luimc,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut treat it at once; govern the fever und there will be uo trouble; there will I >e but little. eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, ami doubtless will boregarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is uo necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this J will stake not only my reputation, but a.I that 1 hold most deal'; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, puge.B74: “Von may abate the force of the eruptive fever, ami keep down, it is believed, the number qj the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has been dono in numerous eases that occurred on board ship. Dee the account appended. Given teaspuonftii or more, according to the urgency of the ease, w ith a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid onee iu two hours if uecussury, until the feversub shles—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; hut it should he giveu and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchessd'Orleans, the tonguo and l'aucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given iri teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment ill ulsiut twelve hours by tiie Fluid alone.— Used to wet tile throat frequently, it is doubtless the best, gargle iu ell such cases. Puerperal or CUUiltoed Fever. 1 ids heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tho Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid w ill arrest it in u short time, ft should be ro peated ns King ns the f-.vor continues, as in other eases. Tlic bowels ot course should be attended’ to. In connection with this subject, l cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by t lie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must ho tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose ami retiring. Restlessness, ndrvous irritability, ora cold taken at abdicate 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 tiie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tile whole Bystem, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as tlio circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use iu so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tiie treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As tiie Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called tever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may he or ought to be called, it should he 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 sohuld ho given while giving tho “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 the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, given 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 diarrlnea, give something known to tie good for that complaint, though it caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain i- inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if violent paiu in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, und bathe ihe feet in hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin dry und hot, with greut suffering, sponge or bathe tiie wlml - surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “•lie 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 - ( if u, O patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give touics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must bo allayed before any medicine w ill remain on tlio stomach to do any good: for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tin- stomach ; warm water, If given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the •• Fluid’’ ami a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlio “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, ami 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 by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine l have referred to, viz : Cat liartics.—Articles that purge or operato ou tho bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything know n to be good forsuch purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tho articles depended on by tiie different schools’ for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tho “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one nmy choose calomel— another, blue mass—the third, podophylliu—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and he suc cessful. Tonics.— Articles tlmtgive tone or strength, such as quinine, \ arious barks, roots and bitter herbs, llone se: or thoroughwurt is one of tiie best used in fevers. Aat riiigent*.—Burh ns c-lu-ck tho action of the 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 pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the 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 nnu’ica, I shall not tux tho reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and wili only refer to one instanco of success, that on the Packetliti> Duclxcsa D’Orleans. which cannot bo classed among ordinary certificates: M e, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz Me took passage ou the packetship Duchess d'Orleans Oapt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. Franco’ and bound for New York. She sailed on the nth of Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, moativ emigrants- A few-days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated by the physician iu charge,Dr. X. Vi. Peat, with anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Hlec trie 1 laid, v ith which lie seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it In a few hours, and curing in a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there were diout eighty eases of small pox, some fever, Ac., mid not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr Seat on the oc casion. possesses inestimable virtues.

HUIESE diseasesaro common to many localities of the X Initod States; hut wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from tlio same miasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; hut us the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Ry the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, tin-re is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant v atcr, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is the sixmo in character and effect; is a poi son Hunting in the atmosphere, causing disease wall w ho breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is iu tiie preparation before us, offered to tiie public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the |Hiison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even iu Hie op.a air, and w hen taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful Influence, ami thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known to any hut tho proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: it will instantly clieck the ague in persons who have suffered tor any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to tiie direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; tiie patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should male* its use again necessary. in its operation iqion the poison in tiie system, it will immediately relieve nil the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cities. Tiie patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and class in the community; fanners, me chanics, and all laboring people may be 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 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. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tho most candid minds, because all ihe resources cf science had been taxed ill vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and w hat 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, &c. Tiie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their puis nous effects jro superadded to tiie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On tliis account ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tiie makers of them uniformly assert they may he taken witli 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 that it is also Worthy of Public Confluence, Because of its Singular and Entire Ilarmlcssness, The following certificate from one of tiie most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evciy bottle; New York, June 11, 1855. “I have mtde 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 iu it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if tiie medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tlio diseases being produced by one and the sumo cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tiie 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 tiie poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice us to iliet and habits of life prepared liy 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 antibilious purgative. Tiie very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlio stomach and free tiie biliary passages. Remember that, where this is necessary, or there is eostiveuess, it Must UE taken or the operation of tiie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only t aut ion.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tiie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tiie air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, tiie miasmata or poison contained iu the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure slum id likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fetch, and Agee Cure ‘ blown iu tiie glass, and on tiie outside w rapper is tiie name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tiie signature of tlio proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, Wherever introduced and used. These will he considered sufficient.

Truly yours, LATHROP 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 Las 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.-grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am new in the enjoyment of good health. M’ishing yjur m -dicine the succ.-ss that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREM’S. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” M’e are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the atliicted, that Win.

This proves the modi* erne to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Boonsbero, Ml. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, ltichlund 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 bottle of tiie Curo and lias not had a ehill 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. Monticullo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. 9■ A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in 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. 1 our Ague Cure lias overcome ail prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has beeu fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. y,'. A.IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in tiie United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a yenr ago were reluctant even to take tiie Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pret-nsions could not lie realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will he noticed that tlio letters of which 1 publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove tho tiict of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The CrownlngGlory of the Curo is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a , -evenlive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tho warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ev* r liaic a single attack of l-’evcr und Ague, Billons or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote, It is -Is.■ unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whoso constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
