NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, ! Prepared by Si, W. Seat, M. D. Keavon* why it should’j* Used instead of any other treat ment iu ail febrile affection*: I*l.—Economy Os Time.—Ah only one-seventh of the ordinary time ia required to effect a cure. 4d.Bcouunty of Money, —Ah it coHta but one dollar. 3rd,—Economy of Peellng.—As it hhvoh the suffering of a long sickness und the consequent treat ment i the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, tlieir disagreeable operation, and the pain of loug oonlinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, am! that pleasant in Its effects. 4th. — Ktonoiny of Thought. —As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while j a dear friend is sick. sth. — Keonomy of Health.— As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. Oth. — Ucounmy of Life. —As the cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in acorres|ionding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might Ist ndded, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons iu all condi tions of life. The above reasons are mure particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on tiiu first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the cnee at the time it is first 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 scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they won not attacked wilh fever, and If so, ‘-it was trifling --a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of e*usequence —It would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general Impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts uot unlike the above follow the care of a common case as naturally as men think at ail; and it is not until the individual bus witnessed many eases that lie cau fully realize the truth; anil even then ho may conclude them all very ti filing cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundred* of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so groat as to require particular attention, or though success ul in reducing the lover, it will again rise as the influence of tiio “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause mav still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such coses that 1 have given aud frequently refer to what 1 have ended a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers In ticnerab On this subject I wish to be fully understood, lty the term “levers,” X c-miprebcud all febrile affections to which the human frumo is subject, including small pox aud other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions sod habits, they of course differ considerably in their development aud exhibit a variety of forms or types; vet all are distinguished by the same general character istics —that ol undue rxcilemcut in tlio circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I inn not wholly alone iu the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, Louden, whose work on the “ Princi ples uml Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our modical colleges, and consequently stamlanl authority. On page 834, hesuys:—“We hear continually, both iu und cut of tile profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Jly the public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ao. Aud systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gattro-Euteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It vucourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no lino of genuine distinction between continued fevers, -hat can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, ami are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, olio worthy of remembrance aud I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubliug youi self about a “ name;” if you have lover, treat it at once as hereafter directed, und yon will be 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 on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at tho bed side of tile sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself aud others) under a greet variety of cir cumstances, suasous and climates. Dear this in mind, and treat at ouce without regard to name, aud rest assured you will soon bu freed from ail dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as casus may have be come developed before the ’’ Fluid” is given, cither by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to bu pursued in all of tile most prominent fevers, though the “ Kules” and “ Syuopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Mulet important to be observed in all cases in t isivg the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quautity of water, and may be sweeteued or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always bo free ventilation iu the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. ad. It must be continued whenever tho fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the i-use under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should uot be questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take nay exereise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in Which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giviug it as plentifully, aud as loug as tho patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lomouado, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. flth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever lias passed oV, 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 aud breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of cue year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 30 “ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60 “ “ 8 “ 16 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered us adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much ns young, or those Iu the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is uo particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having token full Josch ; but for a little guide, 1 have given the 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 be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, aud uot on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent Fever. Give a toospoiifUl of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) ouce in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oft'; this constitutes the whole treatmeut iu nil simple oases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the “ Kules.” But should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at ouce, and wqiile giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in Huy case the bowels are particularly constipated or conttniid. give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first |>ortion; they must bo opeued or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running UO or upwards, urn! the patient is uot particularly susceptible to the intlucucc of medicine— uot easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two toaspoousful may be given at tirst with advantage, and even repeated in two hour*—if it —the pulse—has not been sojtrnril, thus showiug the medicine has (akeu effect. Bathing the surface with water ut an agreeable temperature, tile saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, ill these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. (Jive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoourul, to be discontinued as the fever subside* As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease no time should be loat to get them open, give some active’ cathartic with the *• Fluid'’ and re[>eatffis may be neces sary till it operates: enemas (Injections) niay also lie used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (nibbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. (Juiuilie may be added to the 11 Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are ail 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 uso in separating them-at least so far as mv treatment is concerned. In these low fevers when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still (comparatively little, as they frequeutly run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a lew days Nearer 7 “* lt,nSl ' Ht to e#tßl,tißl ‘ * permanent The treatment should be commenced—which luav Immediately follow any other without detriment— with a tcaspooofnl of •* Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fullor or laiger in volume, then to tie continued ince in slg or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In bad coses, from three to live groins each of quinine i and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or (tome tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The ; bow Is should lie kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose, file patient should be sustained by nourishing ami mucilagenous | drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.— Where tho skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di- I reel’ and in bilious lover, will bn found advantageous. Tonics bhould be used during convalescence, in all cases | which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fe ver. Give a teaspoon lul of-tho “ Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueu-t; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, ut longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard piaster, or something of the kind, to be upplietl over the seat of pain; keep the lKiwels gently open. Variola, VurioJoltl, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs bile little from that of common fevers. Ketnember uevor wait to learn the “ name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they nil commence with fever, but treat it at ouce; govern the fever ami there will be no trouble; there will be but tittle, 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 tin: assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be cut sliort; attended with but little erup tiou; little or no pitting, aud that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake nut only my reputation, lint a t that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of i’rof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, jiage 874: “ Von may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number utthr. pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tho admission that it may be done. 1 nave not only proven it may be., but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See (be account appended. Live a teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once In two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the lever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. 1 none case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and fauciu were sp much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, tall ho could swallow, wlieu it wus given iu teauioouful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve houis by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liubie, will yield to (lie Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, os to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a tcuspuouful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; uo alarm need be entertained, os the Fluid will arrest it in a sliort time. It should he re peated as loug as the river continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be utlcuded to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and Slithering. It is to inform them of tho happy effect of the Fluid in many of t heir trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of tiiu nervous ns well as the circulatory. It will uot force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; lienee Us use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tho treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions tor all eases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho name it may bo or ought to lie called, it should be given whatever 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 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 the‘.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 the first dose, or soon after, aud should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, 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 the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tho feet iu hot eater; if the lever is very high, skin dry and hot, with greut suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, cither will afford great relief aud aid tlie medi cine in tulriug effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if tlie patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain ou the stomach to doauy good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary ; in sliort, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “Fluid” at the same time ns directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease with which you cap control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by intimities, Ac., u physicians are usually particular about what is used. I have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, mid to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of (lie different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, vis:— t athartics.—Articles that purge or operate on tlie bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, nntibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act outlie liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by tho different schools for tliis purpose, will answer when used in connection witli tlie “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one nmy choose calomel—another, blue mass—tho third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice aud be suc cessful. Tonic*. —Articles that give tuna or strength, such us quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone ae-. or tliorougliwort Is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.— Such ns cheek the action of tho bowels. Liudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. is t iinnlnnts.—Articles that raise or excite tlie system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, liartsborn. Ac., tlie essences are ail more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bet'er “dia phoretic,*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in tlie materia median. 1 shall not tux the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will ouly refer to one instance of success, that outlie Packet ship Duchess D’Orleang. which cannot l>e classed among ordinary certificates; We, the undersigned, certify to the” following, viz— We took passage on the packetsliip Duchess d’Orlcans (.'apt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of An gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls onboard mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants. They wore all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, with anew remedy of his own, which be calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to bavo entire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in a very short time. During the voyage, which lusted thirty-niuo davs, there werealiout eighty cases of small pox,some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with nuu sual promptness. From what wo saw during said passage, we are fully convinred that the medicine used by Dr. goat on the oc casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so littlo trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage, small pox and fever on board, and not a daith! The fart speaks for itself. Signed, F. P. Fumi, 84 Pearl street. New York.

United States; but wherever they prevail, North, Sou'll, East or West, they all equally spring from tlie sumo miusmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as tlie cause is the same, they will all equally y ield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that came. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of annual and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere,tausiug disease toall who breathe it. In accordance witii those unalterable laws governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before ns, off ered t o the public, The IVatural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes tlie poison w henever it conies in con tact with it, even in the open air, anil when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, aud uri known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from its use : it will instantly check tlie ague in persons who have suffered for any length of lime, lrom one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will tie effected; tlie patient contin uing free from tlie complaint lor ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should inak- its use again necessary. in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of Geucral Debility aud Night Sweats, which to often follow the administration of other mode cities. 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 family and class in the community; farm .rs, me chanics, *ud all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Prevent! ve, And pursue their respective avocations In perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tho 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 has 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 cundid mitnls. because all ilie resources of science had been tuxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, alt 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 sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, aud whefaYuch remedies fail; or give only temporary relief, their puis. nous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tho makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that tlieir potency depends solely upon destructive pbisous. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Wort Hy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, The lolluwing certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, aud a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle: New York, June 11, 1866. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either iu it, nor have Ifouud any substance iu its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES 11. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It i< a stubborn fact, then fore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relievo the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. 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 beiug produced by one anl the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and nut wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it docs harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each buttle. It. will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. Tlie very best thing tor general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tlie object of which is to c.eause the stomach and free the biliary passages. Koinemtier that where this is necessary, or there is eustiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will he seriously ob structed. Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates., and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tho air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ache Cure” blown in tlie glass, and ou the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tho copyright of which is secured) ami tlie signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken (o prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced aud used. These will be considered sufficient.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testily to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergym in here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours trulv, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with nil to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure oh commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all. nnd it will be noticed that the letters of which 1 publish pit h immense quantities are always neiv and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove the fort of a greater suc cess and sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use us a preventive. Tims protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons. not a man woman or child In the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to 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. .TAME'S.
