NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, ‘
I'rt'iiurcd ly N. VV. Hrt, 31* l>.
UwMons why it should be u.-,ed instead ot .my other treat
ment iu ull Febrile affections:
I at.— Economy- of Time.—Ah ouly one.-stce.nth
of tho ordinary time is required to effect a corn.
2c1.--Ecou<nn y or Money. —Ah it c >sts but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feelliifj.--As it eaves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
lung confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
‘lth. — 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.
sth. — Economy of Health. —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is tho fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
Oth. — Economy of Life.—As thecure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might lie ndduu, but these are deemed
eutitcient to satisfy ull classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The ulkjvo reasons are inure 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
*0 the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual ami perma
nent relief, tn all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize tlmt they had
t.ecii really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
rer > n >i attacked with fever, and if so, ‘ it was trilling
u little cold, which gave alarm—it could havo been
nothing of consequence—ft would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general
impression cm the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
I. naturally as men think tit nil; and it is not until
lie individual lias witnessed many c&sestimt heeanfnliy
r* sli: • the truth; ami oven then lie may conclude them
all v ry trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
le en i line successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
c xoeet that there will cases ocenr where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
atlentlnn. or though success ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise/ as the Influence of the “Fluid” passes
. IV, as the exciting cause iiiav still exist. It is to guard
ug.uust disappointment in such cases that 1 have given
,iu,l frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers in Ucneral*
Ou this subject 1 wish to lie fully understood. By the
term “fi vers,” 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 habits, tlt yof course differ considerably ill their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all itro distinguished by the sumo general character
istics —that ol undue excitement in the 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 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion f
udvauco, 1 quote from the eelebrafed I’rof. T. Watson,
of King's College, London, whose work ou tho “ Princi
plus and Practice of Physic” la a text book in many of
our medical colleges, ami consequently ttamlarelauUun'itg.
Ou page hiU, lie says :—“We hear couliuuall,', both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. lly the public, Typhus Fever, Urain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Uastro-Knteric, aud
so forth. Now, admitting that lever shows itself under
various forms, I am purr muled that the effect upon tho
mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, ul ready 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 the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress ou your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling youi self about a “ name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of tiny distiuctcharactor being devel
oped, so as to be proiierly named by’ the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based ou closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of clr
< umntuuceg, seasons aud climates, lieor tills in mind,
aud treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon he freed from ail dread of linger
ing aud dangerous fevers. But as eases me v have be
er'Uo developed boforo the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
us briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued iu
all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ Kules”
and “ Synopsis” will la amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
■ltules important to be observed in all cam in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in throe or four times its owu
quantity of water, aud may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. I’atients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always ho free ventilation in tho
siok room.j nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must 1)0 continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to lie resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such bo the ease under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not he questioned ss to their wants or feelings, uor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise 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, hut he left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
(HU. F'luids should bn allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the putieut desires and no
longer; they muy consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
tith. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so iis to occasion u
restlessness after the fever Ims passed oil', or enough to
occasion thern 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 fare aud
breast may he bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOS LOS.
For children of ouo year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over I and under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “
*• “ 2 “ 5 “ l2 to 30 “
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60 “
“ 3 “ 16 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a couimou dose. Old perilous do not
require ns much as young, or those in the prime of life;
uor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; hut for a little guide, I have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By o'.serving the above directions, the medicine w ill
lie found agreeable in ull 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, and
noton account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious ov Remittent Fever.
dive a teas]>oiifnl of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oil; this
constitutes the whole treatment iu till simple eases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
” Kules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should he
attended to at once, and while giving tiio •• Fluid.”
Hee Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give n cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must he opened or the fever may rise
aguiu.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, aud the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated ou by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
given at first with advantage, and even repeated
iu two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine lias taken effect.
Bulbing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar er spirits und
water, iu these difficult cases, w ill afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
dive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full anil soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to he discontinued as the fever subside* As
the bowels are generally routined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease
no time should Ik. lost to got them open, give some active
cathartic with tho “ FHiid” aud repent as may ho neces
sary till it operates: enemas (Injections) may else ho
use Ito advantage; also, mustard to the extremities or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Field” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship anti Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of u low grade, the pulse
(•niHll iitui wiry, with ft general great depression, there is
no practical use In separating them—at least so fsr as
inv treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will bo required- still
comparatively little, ns they frequently run weeks under
the Common treatment, while with this hut a few days
PaTe^,ce.‘ iry ** ,0n * l " t *° ***** H F^nianent
• The treatment should be commenced—which mav
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a toasp.sinful or “ Fluid” evsry two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or huger in volume, then to lie continued
mee in aix or eight hours Ull the fever entirely subsides.
In b.ul cases, from three to five grains each of quinine. I
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries; should he added to each dose. The
bowels should tie kept gently open, and small portions
Os some hepatic should he given occasionally, even I
though tile bowels should ho very loose. The patient
should he sustained by uouridiiug and mueilagenuu* ;
drinks—stlcli as are iu common use in such cuses.— j
AVhere the skin is very dry, sponging Ike surface os di
rected iu bilious fever, will ho found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, iu ail cases
which have become reduced.
Pneuiaenia, T yphoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoouful of the “Fluid” every two hours, j
with a wiue-gloesful of a strong decoction of is, newt; or
half the quantity may he given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once In six or eight hours.
The boiieset tea should he given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the pelieut is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to lie applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid., Rubeola anil Scailu
tlna; or Smell Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and .Scarlet Fever.
As all of these disease.-: are attended w itli fever, Which
ill fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “ name,'’ whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they nil Commence with fever, hut
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will he but little eruption even in small
pox. Tliis, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will he regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make tile assertion, tiiat small pox, it treated us
I direct, will be. cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity ot
its running its ordinary course. Ihi this 1 will stake
not ouly my reputation, lint n.l that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on tiiissubject, 1 Imve good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“ Vou may abate the force of tiio eruptive lover, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the. jmstutes by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the uduussion that it may
he done. 1 nave not ouly proven it may tee, but has
been duiio in numerous eases that occurred ou board
ship. Fee the account appended.
Give a teaspoouful or more, according to the urgency
of tiio ruse, with a uose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho
Fluid once 111 two hours if necessary, until the leversuh
siiles—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
hut it should ho given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the lever under control. When tiio throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, und the
mil face bathed, as thought advisable.
in one case, on tho ship Duchessd’Orleans, tho tongue
anil Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tho
Fluid on ids tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in tcuspoonful doses every lunir, till
all alarming symptoms disupiatarcd. Tho swelling us
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such'cuses.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous aud alarming
malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as tu seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of u
teuspooul'ul. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm uued he entertained, us the
Fluid will arrest it in u short time. It should be re
peated us long as tlie fever continues, as In other cases.
Tile bowels of course should lie attended to.
In connection with this subject, i cannot refrain from
making a lew general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain und suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect ol tlie Fluid in
many of their trials. Xu child-birth, Its relaxing aud
soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must he tried to he appreciated.—
I'ainfu! menstruation will he relieved at once by a com
mon dusu and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at adelicate 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
tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous iih well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth anil
quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally aud
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis,
To avoid constant repetition, aud condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all oases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition railed lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may ho or ought to he called, it should bo given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cafinot he ex
pected to control ull organic or local causes, which,
w hen such exist, must he removed in older to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
he appropriate means, and those sohuld ho given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and iu connection with it, wheu
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing lnoro general effect, liosides no unnecessary
time will then he lost. As the‘, F’luid” alone will sub
due tlie fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tho first dusu, or soon after, aud should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diurrlnea, give something known to he 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 hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe
the feet in liot water; it'the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at nn agreeable temperature;
“ the 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 he no trou
ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tunica aud stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlie patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must ho
allayed before any medicine will remain on the 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; when the
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary: in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed,you cannot realize it till you
have seen, aud then you will he astonished at the ease
with which you ciui control ull febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., ns physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found no such necessity
when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all. I will name a lewof the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics,—Articles that purge or operate on tho
bowels, such as castor oil. suits, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilions, Ac.; anything
known to be good forsuch purposes.
Hrpntlcs.—Anything known to act ou tiio liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer wheu used iu conuection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu
fluence. Ami one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tlie third, podophyllin—tho fourth, mandrake
root, and so ou; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonies.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, risits and hitter herbs. Bone
set or thorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho
bowels. laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlie effect. -re • >
Stimulant s.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, liartsliom, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the ouly dosses necessa
ry iu treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a hotter “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known In the materia medial.
1 shall not tux tho reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tiio results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that ou the
Packetsliip Duchess D’CJrlenns.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz
We took passage ou tlie packetsliip Duchess d'Orleaus,
Capt llutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the yth of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Scut, with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it In a few hours, and curing
in n very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., and 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. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever ou hoard, and not a death.’ The
faet speaks for itself.

WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORICiN IN
MA.IiA.XIZA OH aiXABMA.
fI’HKSK diseases are common to many localities of tho
1 United States; hut wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring from the
same miasinal cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of tho sufferers; hut ns the
cause is the same, they will ull equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle bus its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or In other words u specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of uuiunil and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, Is the Same iu character und effect; is a poi
son floating iu the atmosphere,causing diseasetoall who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posiles, there is in the preparation before us, offered to
tho public,
Tlie Nutural Antidote to Malaiia,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purifies the system affected by it ol'its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to ho entirely new, and un
known to any hut tho proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly chock the ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of lime, from olio day to twenty
years, anil by Continuing its use, according to tlie direc
tions, a radical euro will ho effected; the patient contin
uing free from tlie complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use agaiu necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in tiie system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when tho disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
GeucralDebillly and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other rnede
cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored ty
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may he banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, aud all laboring people may be using this arti
cle ns a
Preventive,
And pursue tlioir respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague oi bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them tho most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of tlie CURE in every part of
tlie United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as to havo fully proved these assertions iu
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were mudo, at the dale of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the moot candid minds, because all ihc resources of
science had been taxed iu vain to sulklo.. cgue or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
ull their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited topuisouous or destructive
drugs, such us Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saliciuc, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, aud wheu such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, tlioir ;ks nous effects arc superudded
to tiio poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he particularly
careful about using any secret Fevei and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert
they may bo taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known tiiat their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
ou account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire llarmlesaneu t
The following certificate from on>- of the most celebrated
chemists in tlie United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
New York, June 11, 1855.
“I havo made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine anil Strychnine, hut
have not found a particle of cither in it, nor have 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to tho constitution.
“JAMES K. CIIILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn tact, then fore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve tlie 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 the medicine he taken iu advance.
This is owing to tho diseases being produced by one and
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents aud
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
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet mid 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 antibilions purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tho stomach
and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that whore
this is necessary, or there is eostiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution* —ln certain specified cases, pour
tlie contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also tlie air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it. after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo
sure, tiio miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
Tills mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tho
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tlie
medicine, (the copyright of which is seemed) and the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits anil imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will he considered sufficient.

New Orleans. April 9, 1855.
Dear Sir—The public generally ale fully aware of ihe
thousands of remedies for Diseased I.uugs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters. Liniment*, he., that are
daily brought to tlioir notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object ill writing this note
for publication, is to induce the | iibiic, or at least the*,
who are afflicted, lo use one that contains articles of
Heal l 7 se in Pulmonary Diseases. Imn conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most unprofi ssioually, and deroga
torily to tlie interests of Medical Science and the regular
J Practitioners of Mediciue, 1 rotor to Woodman’s Cherry
| Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
! used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
j lions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin. Miss., May 1, 1866.
0. O. W(Kidman—Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased” with its ef
fects: better than any other article 1 ever met with. I
would he pleased to have yon send uio half a dozen Imt
tles by the hearer. Respectfully,
W. SI. Mason, M. I>.
This preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
tho universal success which has attended its use. For
roughs, colds, aud in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, Its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved of. aud recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We tnnran
tee it to be better than any Chany Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else uovr extant.
Price—One Dollar a Bottle.

Sue what tho President of the Pharmaceutical Society |
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever aud Ague Cure, or An- j
tidete to Malaria:
St. Lous, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in favor of Rhodes’ Fever aud Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quiuiue, Arsenic. Mer
curp uor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, 1 was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for the medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, aud to w hom 1 can refer. I am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
tho proprietor represents.
EDWARD S. WHEATON,
Presd’t of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri.

Providence, June 29, 1855.
Having been informed of tho illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who lias not been fro e from Fever and
Ague a month at a time for the last twelve years, 1 sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took iu alt four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, und as four mouths
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tho perma
nency Os the cure.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —l have just sent
an order to Ames & Halliday for another half gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure. I thus sold like” Hot Cakes,”
and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I have heard us a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and told them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they wore not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied, I had one case
of Chill Fever where it run f< >ur days, hut the man camo
to see mo on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.

But not a bottle lias come back, and as I am almost out

Cure of Panama Fevei - .
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure iu 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 tli > different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my heal ‘..'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
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur midicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

In another column of to-day's paper will he found an
advertisement for “Rhodes’ F’ever and Ague Cure.”
We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire
to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N.
Rowe, Merchant, Shorpsburg, who has it for sale, in
forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in
every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi
cine to he good, und wo take pleasure in bringing it
before the notice of the public.— Odd Fdlmu, Bomsbinro,

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Sir. J. A. Ehooes, —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 mouths without any per
manent, benefit —a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cura 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 Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir —1 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,
‘ TV. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. IL. Ga., Jan. 1, 1860.
Y our Ague Cuve has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLKS.
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 info every town and village
iii tiio United States, Canadas, kc. 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.
1 can ulso 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 he realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will bo noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish su li immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the luctofa greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tl\e Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as :i preventive. Thus protected by
using n bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child iu the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
liilious or Y ellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled lor quick aud permanent effects
us a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
