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.

No Poison! | Rhodes’ Fever aud Ague Cure; Or Antidote to Malaria; i’Oll THU J.’RJiVENTION AND CURE 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 Sweats, ami all other forms oi disease 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.

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.

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. I. O. O. F. 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.

This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before tlie notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, JJoonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. 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.
