NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, I Prepared by K> W. Meat, M. B. Ileuson* why it should lie ii*'(l instead of any other treat meut in all Febrile affections : Ist.— Kcouomy of Time.—As only one-seventh el the ordinary time is required to offset a cure. 2d.—Eco’ioiny of Money.—As it coats hut one dollar. 3rd.—Economy of Peeling.—Aa it saves the suffering of a lung sickness and tile consequent treat ment ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, tliuir disagreeable oprition, and the pain \,f long confinement; hut lit-ie of the fluid being necessary, and that pleaaant tn its effects. Ith. — 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. 3th.—Economy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to tie followed by chronic disease. (ith.—Economy of I.tfe.—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 Ist ndded, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons arc 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 liavo become reduced, corresponding ol com He to the nature of the cose 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 soou after tin; attack, persons can scarcely realize that they loul keen really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y Wor i not attacked with fever, arid if so, ‘ it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have l>< eti nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out anythiug—that medicine hod nocffect.” The general impression on too subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike tlie alsive follow the cure of a common case n- naturally as men think at all; and it is noL until tin. individual has witnessed many oases that ho can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very tiifllllg cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, jet persons, though they have been tints successful in perhaps hundreds of uises, must expect that 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 the influence of ttie • Fluid” passes off, os the exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard against disappointment m such cases tkut 1 have given and frequently refer to wlmt I have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers In Usnertl- On this subject 1 wish to be tuliy understood. I!y the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all lebiile affections to which tlie human frame is gulijeot, including small jhjx and other eruptive fever a; but as they arise by a gie it variety of causes, aud in quite dissimilar constitutions ami habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by tho same general character istics—that o. undue excitement iu the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fro queue/ iu thepul#e, sense of heat, dryness of tlie skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Frol. T. Watson, of King's College, boudou, whoso work on the •• Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently sUimiwrilauthority. On page H.J4, he says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of tho profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fovor, how Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to tlie lull as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (iastru-Kuteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever zlihwh itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tlie mind of all this sub-division, is bad aud hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to itH name. There is nn line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that eau bo relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress ou your minds the fully of hunting up or troubling youiself about a “same,-' 1 if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you willbe well ius Lead of any dlstlnctcliaraeter being dt,-',ul upod, so us to be properly named by tlie most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula tions or visions of mind, out on experience at the bed side of tlie sick, iu hundreds, aye, Mp. usamls of eases (by inysolf and others) under a. great variety of cir cuuistauces, seasons and cljmates. Bear this in mind, and treat at onoe without regard to no me, and rest assured yon will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as caf es may have be come developed before tlie “ Fluid” if, given, either by rtegleet, or under soino other treatment, 1 will describe as brictly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of tlie most prominent fevers, though tlie Rules” aud “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick. Rules important to be observed in all rases using the Negative Electric fluids Ist. It should be givon. in throe ox four times its own quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients u>usf bo free from all currents of air, (though there should ill ways bo free ventilation ill the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. Bd. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be tlie case under any circumstances. 4th. When tho fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should uot ho questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, road or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of uU extra neous influences, intiuce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed hr their hearing, iu which they may feel more or less iuU‘rc->-ed, But t>e left quiet to all intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and us Iona; us the lenient desires and no longer: they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, cither (jold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. OtU. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tile lying posture, so us 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 fit tie spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the and breast maybe bathed iti cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

All persons oyer fltteeu considered us adults, for whom a tegspoouful ia a common dose. Old persons do uot require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; uor females, ns a general rule, aa much as males. There is uo particular care necessary in giving it to children —those of ten years of ago frequently having takeu full doses ; but for a little guide, 1 have given tlie above table, with the remark lli.it, us a general rule, children require more tliuii adults in proportion. By observing tlie above directions, tlie medicine will be found agreeable In ail of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is. that tlie full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and not on account ofany actual necessity of such strict ole servances. Bilious or Remittent. Fever. (live a teas;ionful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till :he fever Is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of fever, with such observances as arc set forth in tlie *• Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to at once, aud while giving the “ Fluid.’’ See Syuopsis. If iu auy case tlie bowels are particularly constipated or confiu-d, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the ttrst portion ; they must bo opened or tlie fever mav rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, aud the patient is not particularly susceptible to tlie influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double (lose, or two tauqioonsful may be given at lirst witli advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been sothned, thus showing the medioiiie has taken effect. Batbiug the surface with water at au agivenblo tcuipei ature, tlie saline wasti, vinegar or spirits aud ‘valor, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in takiug effect. Congestive Fever. Uivo two teaspxmsfut and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full ami soft, then only a tea spoontul, to be discontinued as tlie Ihver subeider As tho bowels are generally conttnod, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to Operate In this disease no time should be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with tho “ Fluid’’ and repeat as may be neoes snrj- till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie used to advantage: also, mustard to the extremities or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine mav be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Ty pints. Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever* As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being ail of a low grade, the pulse small aud wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them-at least so tar as my treatment is concerned, in those low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required - still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common troatmout, while with this but a few davs 2. AiST” “ The treatment should bo commenced—which mav immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued nce in six or eight hour* till the fever entirely subside In had cases, fro’ „ three to live grains eacli of quinine | aud capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or Homo tonic and stimu- j lnut (soe aux’iffarie*) should be azlded to each dose. Tlie bowels sho-j|j i,„ kept gently open, uud small portions : of some hep,die should be given occasionally, even though t|,„ bowels should lie very loose. Tlie patient should, sustained by nourishing and mucllageuous drill* ,s—such as arc in common use in such cases.— Wdere tho skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tunics should he used during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Fueumonla, Lung or Winter Fever. (live u tcasf ioontul of the “Fluid” every two hours, witli a wine-glussful of a strong decoction of boheset; or half tlie quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say oncgjn six or eight hours. The honeset 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 pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, 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 tlie must prominent symptom, tlie treatment differs hue little from that of couimmi fevers. Remember never wait to leani tlie “Mime,” whether it is one or tlie other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will bo no trouble; there will bo hut little, eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, und doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly muke the assertion, tiiat siimil pox, if treated as 1 direct, will lee cut slant; attended witli but little erup tion ; little or no pitting, and that thero Is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this t will slake not only my reputation, but n;l that I hold must dear; besides, on tlilssubject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. B atson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “ You may abate tlie force of tlo; eruptive lever, aud keep down, it is believed, tlie number of the. pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done, i nave not only proven it may be, but has been done ill numerous cases that occurred on hoard ship, see the account appended. (Jive a teu-poonlul or more, according to the urgency of tile case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once iu two hours it necessary, until tnofeversuh sidcs—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient; hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, auy of the ordinary gargles may bo used, uud tiio surface bathed, as thought advisable. in one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and fauens were so much swollen that tlie patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tho Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, w hen it was given in teaspoonful doses < eery hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tho throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by tbe Fluid alone.— Used to wet tho tiiroat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best gargle, iu all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever., This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative F.lectrie Fluid with such readiness, os to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonfui. almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; uo alarm need be entertained, as tbe Fluid will arrest it in a shaft time. It should lie re peated as long ns the fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this aulgect, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tiio ladies, will save them much pain und suffering, it is to inform them of the liappy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated,— Baili ful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com mon dose und retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one of tlie most convenient and effectual remedies formany of the ills of females, if not the most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the wholo system, removing ail excitability and iritability of tho nervous ns well io; tie circulatory. It wilt not t’orco sleep like opiates, Uilt it will sooth and quiet the system so that ono eim steep naturally and ; healthy; hencu its use in so v.s'.oV cases. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all ijmca. As the Negative Klectric Fluid will change tliq, condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the •name it muy boor ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control alt organic or local causes, wliicb, wlicu such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. Whsu such indications occur in any cast*, they should bo appropriate means, and those solnild be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides uo unnecessary time will then lie lost. As tiio •, Fluid” alone will sub due tlie fever, 1 coll all else auxiliary treatment. If Hie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tile lirst dose, or soon, after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though, if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soou relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard piaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu eold water, to tiio part; if violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cowling application, and bathe . the teel in hot water; if the lover is very high, skin : dry uud hot, with great suffering, sponge or hut be Hie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; i “the saline wash,” vinegar uud water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief anil aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which thero will be no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tunica and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu ab-ii-uce of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tlie patient lias become re duced ; if there is nausea ami vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on Hie stomach to do any good: for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; whea tlie stomach has settled, give the •• Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary : iu short, treat all tiio prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving Hie “ Fluiu ’ at the same time as directed, and saccesa°will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, aud then you will bo astonished at tho ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to kuow what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular shout what is used. I have t’ouml uu such necessity wlieu using Hie Fluid, ami to be fully understood by all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, via:— x at Hurt tee,— Articles tiiat purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, suits, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, untibilious, Ac.; auy thing known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic a.—Anything known to act on the Kver particularly, portal circulation ami secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection witli tho “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in fluence. Ami ono may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tunica.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone sot or thoroughwort is one of the best used iu fevers. As( rliißcnt s. —Such as check the action of tho bow els. Laudanum aud other preparations of opium are used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tlie qnly classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are genet all v used, but the Negative Klectric Fluid is u better “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic.” •• relaxant” aud “sedative” than known in tile materia mnlica. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, tiiat on tho l’nckct ship Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates- Wo. the undersigned, certify to the” following, vis— We took passage on the packttship Duchess d’Orlenns Capt Hutton, then tying in tlie port of Havre, France’ and bound tor New York. She sailed on tlie 9th of Ato gust. 1851, with over a hundred sonls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after lenving Havre, tlie small pox broke out among the emigrants. Thev were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W.'Sent, with anew remedy of lit* own, which he calls Negative Klec tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control over tlie disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in a very short time. During tlie voyage, which lasted thirty-niue davs,’ there were about eighty cases of small pox. some fever Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with uum snal promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Scat oti the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled witli so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

The great variety of symptoms aud forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sox, constitution aud habits of the sufferers; hut os tlie cause is tho same, they will all equally yield to a remedy tiiat is competent to overcome or remove tiiat cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and lor every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a Hpucilic remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal aud vegetable mailer, or even newly cleared lauds, is tlie same in character and effect; is a poi son floating iu tlie 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 tlie preparation before us, offered to the public, Tire .Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralises the poison whenever it comes in con tact w itli it, even iu the open air, and w hen taken iuter ually completely jiurifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, aud finis restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known to any hut the proprietor, who distinctly claims tiie following extraordinary result’ from it use: It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty year*, and by continuing its use, according to tlie direc tions, a radical cure will he effected; tlie patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon tho poison iu tlie system, it will immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, aud when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Delbiilty and Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other medo cincs. Tlie patient at once begins to leever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By it- use F.ver aud Ague may be banished from every family and class iu the community; farmers, me chanics, and ail laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious uttucks during Hie sickly season, which is often to them tlie most valuable part of tlie year. Since tho introduction of the CURE in every port of tlie United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions ill 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 ’.he resources cf science had been taxed iu 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 iieisouous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give ouly tonqiorai y relief, their puis nous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s lirst complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may he taken witli 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 Harmlcssness, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists ill the United States Inis been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evei y bottle: Ntw 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 I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMKS R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It i- a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve 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 being produced by one 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 in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tlie poison before it does 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 bottle. It will often he found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or untibilious purgative. The very heat tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach end rree tlie biliary passages. Rememlier that where this is necessary, or there is c. istlVouees, it must be taken or tlie operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tlie medicine, aud also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degice commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the (jure should likewiso bo resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fever A.\n Ague Ccre” blown in the glass, mid oil the outside wrapper is the name of tiio , medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature ot’ the proprietor. These precautions arj taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. Tits reliance roii its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by tlie proprietor. JAMES A. RHODE;-. Providence, R. I, For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1856. ly Druggists.

P. iIASOF, Apothecary. 70 Eottles Perform 70 Cures, Constantine, Mieii., Sept. 24th, 1855. James A. Rhodes, Esq,—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent an order to Ames & Holliday for another half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure, it has sold like “ Hot Cakes,:’ and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because “heu I have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. 1 had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 34. Bottles Perform 34 Cures. Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1855. Jilt. James A.

Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855. Dr. 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 cure. Some who have been troubled with tlie distress ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one bottle of the Cure. Please send u? immediately four dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATIIROP & SICLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, 1 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 jgrew worse until I 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 yjur midicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, TIIGMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F.

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 bottle of Hie 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. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. ‘Unsolicited Evidence from a PRysicinn. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. 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 in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours. W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. K„ 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 bj- only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. YY. A. HAYLKS. If any bodj- 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 tho United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is t herefore 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 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 bo noticed that tho letters of which I publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. T!c Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tlie warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in tlie United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious 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 and permanent effects a- u Restorative, giving new life and strength to all v I lose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
