NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared toy N. \V. Seat, M. D.
Reason* why It should bo used Instead of any other treat
ment iu all febrile affections:
L *l-—-.Economy of X 1 lire* — As only one-seventh
ui the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
3d.--Keonomy of Money.—As it Costs hut one
dollar.
3rd. Keonomy of Feeling— As it saves the
suffering of a loon sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long condneuient; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4th. — Keonomy of Thought. —As when
known, it will remove all dreau and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend Is sick.
3lh. —Keonomy of Health. —As the system
is not roduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to l> followed by chronic disease.
tit h.—Keonomy of Life.— As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might bo added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which iiavc been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
*o the nature of the cose at the time it is lirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt., effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
tlio attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
wert not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘-it win trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had uoeffeot.” The general
impression on the sulriect of fever is such, that thoughts
uot unlike the above follow the cure of a common cose
ii.< naturally us men think at ull; and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude tln-m
ull very titiling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will coses occur wln re 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 inllueuce of the “ Fluid” passes
otf, as the exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard
ugaiust disappointment in suen cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
He murks on Fevers iu (General.
On tliis subject I wish to he fully understood. Ky tile
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend ull febrile affections to
which the luiiniiu 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, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all arcdistinguished by the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in tho circulatory and
uervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that X uni not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from tho celebrated prof. T. Watson,
ot King s College, Condon, w hose work on the •• Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in nuiuy of
our uiodiral colleges, and consequently standard authority.
On page 834, lie saysYVe hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different spccius of fever spo
ku of. Uy the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Uilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full os particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (lastro-Jilntorio, 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
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, so pro
scribe for a disease according to its no no. There is no
line of genuine distinction oetween continued fevers,
t hut can be 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
aud 1 would inppres* on your minds the folly of hunting
up or tioubliug youiself about u “name;’ if you have
lover, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any distinctclmraeter being devel
oped, so os to be properly named by the most soientiiic.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on clos. t 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 groat variety of cir
cumstauces, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
and treat at once without rogard to name, and rest
as-mrod you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But us eases may have be
come developed bofore tho “ Fluid” is given, either by
neg'ect, or under some oilier treatment, 1 will describe
tis briefly us possible the proper course to Is- pursued in
all ol tho most prominent fevers, though tho “ ltulos”
and •• Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Hales important to be observed in all cases in itjttqy the
negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. ft should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, aud may he sweetened ox not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must bo free from ail currents of air,
(though there should always lie free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
-Id. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to lie resumed when it
begum to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
-ith. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be lett perfectly quiet; free from ull excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to couverse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feel.,igs, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation bo allowed in their hearing, iu
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents aud purposes.
Mil. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they uiuy consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or pc'ients desire.
Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness whU-iu tho lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lias passed off’, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wiue, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with n little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tho face and
breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TAIILK OF DUSKS.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ l2 to 30 “
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50
“ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over flfteeu considered as adults, for whom
u teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, ns a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary iu giving it to
children —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide, 1 liave given tho
above table, with tin- remark mat. us a general rule,
children require more titan adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
la-found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of tho most sanguine realised, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may he obtained, and
uot on account of any actual necessity of such strict ole
servances.
Uilious or Remittent Fever.
Give a teaepoiifui of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu
two hours, till tin- fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in ull simple cases of
fever, with sue!, observances as are set forth in tho
“ Rules.” But should there he promiuent local symp
toms, or kuowu local existing causes, they should lie
attended to at once, and w hile giving the “ Fluid.”
See Syuopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (sec auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running HO or
upwards, aud the patient is not particularly susceptible
to tlie influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaepoonsfiil
may be given at lirst with advantage, ami even repeated
iu two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened,
tints showing th medicine hua taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, tin- saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
wßter, in these difficult cases, will afford relief ami aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teasp iousful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to ('-> discontinued as the fever subside!. A*
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate iu this diseam
mi time should be lost to get tbeiu open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” ami re|H-t as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also bo
u--e.I to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cob!
applications to the bead. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship nnd Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, bring all of a low grade, tlie pulse
small and wiry, witli a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so for as
m.v treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will tie required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tin- Common treatment, while with this but a few days
will bo nocessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
, Tlio treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment with
a teospooDful of “ Fluid” every two hours, til) tin-pulse
becomes fuller or laiger in volume, then to be continued
nce in six or eight hours till the fover entirely subsides.
Iu bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepjier) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should lie kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should tie given occasionally, even
though the bowels should lie very loose. The patient
s lion hi be sustained by nourishing and mticilageuous
drinks—such as are in comniou use In such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, spongiug the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a U-aiqMjonful Os tlio “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful ofa at rung decoction of bom-set; or
ball the quantity may be givcu every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
Tho boneset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ol’
tho kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep tho
bowels gently open.
Variola, Vm loloi<l, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or kmall Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended witli fever, which
iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatin’ ul
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to iearn the ‘•name,” whether it is one or the
oilier, or neither, us they nil comm nee with fever, but
trout it ut once; govern the fever and there will bu no
trouble; there will bis Cut little eruption even iu small
pox. This, to most miuds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
buldly make the assertion, Unit sniall pox, if treated as
X direct, will be. cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or mi pitting, aud that there is no necessity of
its riiuniug its ordinary course, tin this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but a.l that 1 hold most dear;
besides, ou this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
‘•You may abate the force ol the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, tin- number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tout it may
be done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has
been dune in numerous cases Unit occurred ou board
ship, bee the account appended.
Givo it Leuspoontul or more, according to tlio urgency
oi’ the case, witli a dose of suits or castor oil; repeal the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doscH is genera ly sufficient;
but it should be given aud repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gurgles may bu used, ami the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tlio slop Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue
and faueus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, anil lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when il was given iu teaspuonful doses every hour, till
ull alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best gargle in ail such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tlie
Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, us the
Fluid will arrest it ill a short time, it should be re
peated as long ns tlie f-ver continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
in connection witli this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials, in child-birth, iis relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlio lalsir of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose ami retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at ndelicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most conveuientaud
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
sad iritability of tlie nervous as well us tlio circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth aud
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally aud
healthy; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlio treat
ment as much as isissiblc, 1 give tinder this head general
directions for ull cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid
will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue and
control it uuder all circumstance*, without regard to tlie
name, it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control nil organic or local causes, whicii,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
\\ heu such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld bo given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, us 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 cull all else auxiliary treatment.
If tin- bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
with diarrlnea, give something known to be good for
that eoniplaiut, though if caused by irritability, the
“ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
puiu or iuflummatiou, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and butlie
tlie feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry und hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou
ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, givo tonics und stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlie patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie
stomach has settled, give tlie “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlio
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your elforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
liave seen, aud then you w ill be astonished at the ease
with which you can control nil febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel a* a loss to know what is meant by
cuthaitics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about w lint is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, i w ill name a lew of tho different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of tlie roots
or barks, and many pills, antibitious, Ac.; anything
known to Ik* good for such purposes.
Hepatlos.—Anything known to act ou the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the article* depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while tlio system is under its in
fluence. And oue may ciioose calomel—another, blue
muss—tho third, ;>odopliylliii—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take liis choice mid be suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
sei or thoroughwort is one of the best used in levers.
Astringents,—Such ns check tlie action of the
bowels. Isuidanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, uot property 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., tlie essences are ail more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessn
■J ‘t’ treating levels, though tunny others are gt-neriiliv
used, but the Negative Klectric Fluid is a bettor “dia
phoretic,” •• anodyne,” “diuretic,” “reluxant” and
“sedative” than known ill the materia medica.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packet ship Duchess D'Orlcaus.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates-
YVe, the uudersigned, certify to tlie following viz—
YVe took passage on tlio pocketship Duchess d’Orlelius
Capt 11 uttou, then lying in the port of Havre. France’
ami bound for New York. She sailed on the Oth of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls ou board, mostly
emigrants- A few days alter leaving Havre, the small
pox broko out among tlie emigrants, They were ull
treated by the physician in charge,Dr. N. YV. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric I hud, with whicii lie seemed to liave entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short timo. R
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 witli ump
mini promptness.
From w hat wo saw during said passage, we are fully
Convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on tlie oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. YVe never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
•o much case, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage

Os Fever aud Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and
other Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; ulso of
Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid tiyinp
tons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship
and Jail Fever, Ueuernl Debility, Night

WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MALARIA on MIASMA.
riMIKSK diseases are common to many localities of tho
X United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, Bast or West, they all equally spring from tlio
same miosmal cause. The grout variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but os the
cuuse 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 has it3 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 animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the saute in character and effect; is a p,,1-
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance witli those unalterable laws
governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before ns, offered to
the public,
Tire Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact witli it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purifies tlie system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
lie-all li.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly check the ague in persons wiio liave
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical eure will be effected ; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should iiiak-* its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in tlie system, it will
immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent tlie accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, und continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever nnd Ague may be banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and ull laboring people may be using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations iu pertV t safety
from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season,
which is often to theta tl” most valuable part of tho
year.
Since the introduction of tlie CURB in every part of
tlie United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as to liuve fully proved these assertions in
favor ol its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the ditto of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
tlie most candid minds, because all llie resources cf
science laid been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, liave been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Meicury, Soliciuc, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than ihe disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their puis- nous effects jre superadded
to tlie poor sufferers first complaint.
Ou this accouut ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert
tiiey may be taken with 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 it s
Singular and Entire Harmlessness,
Tlie tollowing certificate from on: of the most celebrated
chemists ill the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eve-y bottle :
New York, June 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and liave tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either iu it, nor liave 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D„ Chemist.”
It i-i a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined uot only to re'ieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by
preventing tlie 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 tho one
under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken in advance.
Tliis is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
the sumo cause, and therefore nil, botli residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use
of tliis preventive, nnd not wait for tlio poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take tlie Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
tlie poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of lift
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede tliis medi
cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. Tlie
very best tiling for general use is n moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of whicii is to cleanse tlie stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pom
tlie contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,: and place them ill
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
aud also tlie air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degioe commensurate with its expo
sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
Tliis mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up hare tlie
words, -Rhodes’ Fkvf.r and Ague Cure” blown in the
glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced ami used. These
will be considered sufficient.

RECOMMENDATION'S.
New iihliians, April 9, 1855.
Dear Sir—Tin- public generally ere fully aware of ilie
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Snrsaparillas, i'ills. Plasters. Liniments, Ac., tliut are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers ly
way of advertisements. My object in writing this nolo
for publication, is to induce the public, or id least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Heal Use in Fulnonary diseases, iam conscious that in
so doing, 1 mil acting most unprofessioually.and derogii
torily to tlie Interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to YVoodtnan's Cherrv
JSxpectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used witli more success than any of tlie usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. At. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, issj.
O. 0. YY'oodman—Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial ami um well pleased with its ef
fects: better than any other article I ever met with. I
would be pleased to have yon send me half a dozen bot
tles by tlie bearer. Respectfully,
YV. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation has attained a wido celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its ns',.. p or
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this iiiedii-im-. from its pect “nr properties as a dissoln ut
and its smith ing 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 lie found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only (Tonpli Medicine that 1
lias stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is Mine- j
ttoned by, approved of. and recommended bvthe leading I
Physician* of New Y’ork city. Every Kittle Is warranted I
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. YVe guaran- I
tee it to tie latter than any Cherry Pectoral, Coil Liver I
Oil. or anything else now extant.

Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
WO POISON. PROOFS !
See whut the President of the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague (Jure, or Au
lidote to Malaria:
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by tlie celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in favor of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, 1 was induced to send to Dr.
lor tlie medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 cau refer. I am,
therefore, satisfied iu recommending it to be all that
tlie proprietor represents.
EDWARD S. WHEATON,
I’resd’t of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri.

Providence, June 29, 1855.
Having been informed of the illness of a poor, lint
worthy H uman, who Ims not been fre e from Fever and
Ague :i month at a time for the lust twelve years, I sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, aud us four months
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tlie perma
nency of t lie cure.

Constantine, Midi., Sept. 24tli, 1855.
James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —l have just sent
an order to Amos A llnlliiluy for another half gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure, it Ims sold like” Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
lias sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, I liave sent a bottle arid tcid them to try
it, aud if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had one case
of Chiil Fever where it run four days, but the maucumc
to see me on tlie sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. *

Moline, ill., Sept. 24, 1855.
Mil James A. Rhodes—Dear Sir —The box of “Ague
Cure” you sent us lias all been sold and created a large
demand for more; to meet whicii we have ordered
from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerriugton.
Its sale will only be equalled by the number of Fever
und Ague cases. Hoping theso cases tuny be few, yet
have a bottle for every case.
We remain respectfully yours,
RICHARD? & ALLEN.

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.
Maxwell, Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1855.
31 r. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your medicine has met
witli the most favorable success in this neighborhood. 1
liave about live bottles left. J give it to them at first,
‘if no cure no pay,’ although I was not authorized l>y
you to do so; but I took tlie responsibility ou myself.—
But not a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out
of tlie article I wisli you would forward me one gross of
tlie bottles, if you see proper lo do so, and I will be
punctual in payment. I inclose fifteen dollars on the
medicine 1 have received, for which please send me a
receipt. Ship tlie me as soon as you can—there
never has been as much Chills aud Fever since 1 lived in

Pine Run, Mich.. July 21, 1855.
Dr. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your (jure for tlie Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled witli tlio distress
ing disease have been entirely cured by using only ono
bottle of tlie Cure. Please send u< immediately four
dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATHKOP & MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely- cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it 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 lieal 1 . grew worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur m idicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an
advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.”
We are not in the habit of pulling medicines, but desire
to say-, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Win. N.
Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it fur sale, in
forms us that lie sold several dozen bottles, and in
every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi
cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it
before tlie notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, JJoonsboro,

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. Oue young lady
in the family ofa clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” lor some months without, any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Care and has 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,
Bev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Pliysieian.
Monticello, I ml., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself nnd prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11. C. It. R.. Ga., Jan. 1, 1806.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who lias been fully cured by only ono bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it ill every bottle of tlie CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible info every toSvn and village
ill tlie United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional witli all to have
the Fever nnd Ague or not. just as they please.
1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo
niers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not lie realised! Now they
endorse them all, ami it will he noticed that tlio letters
of which I publish su It immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, nnd prove the foot of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The UroivnlngGlory
of tlie 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 hover, or uny form of disease arising
from tlio atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tho
Onto is perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and 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.
