NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by Si. W. Rent, M. D.
Reasons wliy it should be need instead of any other treat
meat in all Febrile affections:
lat—Econoiny of Time.—As only one Mptal/i
of the ordinary time in required Vo effect a cure.
Z<|.—Economy of Money.—As it rosts but one
dollar.
3rd. —Economy of Feellng.Aii it saves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, ami the pain of
long confinement; but little of the fluid Ijoingnocessary,
ami that pleasant iu its offects.
Ith. —Economy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existiug, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
Ath.—Economy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to he followed by clirouic disease.
oth. —Economy of Life.—As tlie cure is effected
before anil without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might Ih> added, Imt these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy ail classes and persons Iu all condi
tions of life.
Tbo above reasons are more particularly applicable to
file immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, ‘• irrcspondiug of course
*.o tile nature of the case lit the time it is (list adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
neat relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realise that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
wer.i not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was 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 noeffect.” The general
Impression on the subject of fever is such, that i noughts
not unlike tile afiove follow tin* cure of a common case
as naturally as meu think at all; and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many eases that lie can fully
realise the truth; and even then lie may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they iiuve
been thus successful ill perhaps hundred* of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great iih to require particular
attention, or thougii success ul iu reducing the fever,
it will aguin rise as the influence of the “ Hui f” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in sum cue* that 1 have given
and frequently refer to wlml 1 Imre called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fever* In General*
t)n tills subject I wish to be fully understood, fly the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which tho human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; imt us they arise by a great
variety of causi o, and in quite dissimilar coustUntions
and habits, they of course differ considerably iu their
development and exhibit a isriety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by tho same general character
istic*—that ol undue excitement in tliu circulatory anti
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from tho celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, l.oinlon, whose work on the “ Print!
pies and Practice of Physio” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently stu ndard authority.
On pogc 834, lie says : —“ We hour continually, both iu
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By till) public, Typhus l ever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, I.ow Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Knteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, i am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind ol all this sul nil vision, is bad and hurtful, it
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, ami are often
traooable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
ami I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling youiself about a •'name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific.
Tills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience ut the bed
side of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself amt others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this m mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers, lint as cases may have be
o.mie developed before tlie ‘• Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or uuder some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible tlie proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
ami “ Synopsis” will lie amply sulllcient lor all tln.se
accustomed to atteudance upon the sick.
Kults %n>ortant to be observed in all cates in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, aud may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be froo from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation iu tho
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while uuder its in
fluence.
3d. It must be continued wliouever tlie fever subsides,
or IS evidently passing off; to l>e resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such bo tlie case under any
circumstances.
4th. When tlie fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo question and ns to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exorcise whatever
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, iiuluce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, ami as long as tlie patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, auy simple decoctions, or teas, either
eold or warm as parties may prefer or patieuts desire.
6th. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tlie fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, haushora, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant 7or the face and
breast may be bathed iu cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of oue year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.

“ “ 2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 36
“ “ •"> “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “
” 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
u toaspoouful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a geuerul rule, ns much as males.
There is uo particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given tho
above table, witli tlie remark that, as a general rule
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be fouud agreeable iu all of its effects, tlie expectations
of tlu> most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
uot on account of any actual necessity of sueli strict ob
servances.
Billows or Krinlttciit Fever.
Uive a tcasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once ia
two hours, till (tie fever is evidently passing oft ; this
constitutes tho whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
“ Rules.” Hut should there be prominent local symp
toms. or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the •• Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or ooutined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to tlie influence of medicine—uot easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or ‘two toaspoonsful
may he given at first witli advantage, and even icpeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse— lias uot been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
bathing the surface with water at au agreealde
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
tho medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Oive twoteaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then onl a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as tlie fever subside! As
the bowels are generally routined, and it is frouuentiv
very difficult to get medicine to operate In this disease
uo time ehould be lost to get them open, give some active’
cathartic with tho “Fluid ’ ami repeat ns may he neces
sary till it operates; enemas (Injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also cold
,hp Quinine may he added to the
“Fluid it thought advisable. Beo Bvuopsi*.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
inatnly in degree, being all of a low grade, tlie puls?
small aud wiry, with a general great depression, there is
j>° practical uso iu separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, w hen
ru y developed, a little patience will be required; still
ci mparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
will'taTSS With this but :ltt;
#t I ° nge ® t t 0 permanent
,h#uld b * commenced—which may
me. in six or eight hours^^^inuXwS
I In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine ;
ami capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic anil stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. Tho ]
bowels should he kept gently open, and small portions j
of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, oven
though tlie bowels should he very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and niiicilagenous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging tlie surface as di
rected iu bilious fever, will be funnd advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu all eases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(live a teaspoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boni-net; or
half tho quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should ho given warm till tlie violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient 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.
Varloln, Varioloid, lluheolit and Srnrlu
t Inn ; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
ami Scarlet Fever.
As ail of these diseases are atteudud witli fever, which
in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs lute little from tiiat of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn tlie “name,” whether it is one or tho
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut
treat it at anew; govern the fever and there will he no
trouble; there will Ik- but little eruption even in small
pOx. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make tile assertion, that small pox, if treated as
i direct, will be cut short; at tended with Imt little erup
tion; littio or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its tunning its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
uot only my reputation, but a 1 Unit 1 hold most dear;
besides, on tins subject, 1 have good authority; tlmt ol
I’rof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 374:
“ You may abate the lorec of tlie eruptive fever, and
keep down, it i.i believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission that it may
he done. I nave not only proven it may tee, but hat
been done in numerous cases tlmt occurred on board
ship. tieo tlie account appended.
(liven teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the level aule
sldes—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
hut it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of tlie onllnury gargles may be used, and tlie
suil'aio bathed, as thought advisable.
In oue case, on tho ship Duchessd'Orleaus, the tongue
and laucus were so much swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or speak, aud lie was cared by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to euabie 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 iu all such cassis.
l*uerj>ernl or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with sucii readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as lung as tlie fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should bo attoiuled to.
11l connection witli this subject, 1 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 huppy effect of the Fluid iu
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
l’aiuful menstruation will lie relieved at otico by a com
iuon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous Irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; ill short, it is oue of tlie most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of auy medicine known, its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritabilßy of tlie nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will uot force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and
quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for ail cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under ull circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may be or ought to lie culled, it should lie giveu
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When sucii indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld bo giveu while
giving tho “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they w ill then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides uo unnecessary
time will thru la, lost. As the ‘, Fluid” ulono will sub
due tlie fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tho first dose, or soon alter, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“ Fluid” will Siam relieve that condition; if severe local
I’aiu or inflammation, apply some stimulating liuimeut,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, peruaps, cloths Wot in coid water, to the part; if
violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bailie
the feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with grout suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline wash,” vinegar anil water or spirits ami
water, either will afford great relief and aid the niedi
emo in taking effect, after which there will I> K no trou
ble; if tho patient Inis been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tiniics and stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, iu absence of fever or whon indicated; also
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced ; if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must Vie
allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I geuerally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; wlieu t'lio
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” ami a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have soon, and then you will lie astonished at tlie ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found mo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by
nil, 1 will uamo a tew of tlie different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to. viz:—
I'ut hart lea.—Articles that purge or operate ou tho
bowels, sucii as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tlie roots
or barks, and many pills, antibiiious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for sucii purposes.
Hr pat tea.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation am! secretions generally.
Any of tho articles depended on by tho different schools
lor this purpose, will Hiiswor when used in connection
with the “ Fluid” or while tlie system is under iu in
fluence. Ami one may choose calomel—anoUier, blue
mass--the third, podopliyllin—tho fourth, mandrake
root, ami so ou: each may take his choice and be suc
cess! ul.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone nr strength, such
oh quinine, various barks, root* nml bitter herbs. Bone
si'-, or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
ANtrtnKents.—Such as check tlie action of tho
tiowo.s. Uiidiunuii and other preparations of opium aro
iisid; also, many mixtures, uot properly astringents,
which have tlie effect. “ ’
Stimulant a.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is oue of the host:
giugci, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or loss stimulating. These aro the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are genentllv
used, but.the Negative Electric Fluid ,s a bettor “dia
phoretic,’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” aud
“sedative” than knowu in tho materia medica

Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure;
Or Antidote to Malaria;
I’OK THE PREVENTION AND CURE
Os Fever aud Ague, or Chili Fever; Dumb Ague, and
other Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of
Bilious Fevess, accompanied by Typhoid Symp
lons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship
and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night
Sweats, aud all other forms of disease
WIUCH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MALARIA OR MIA.SMA.
riMIE.SE diseases aro common to many localities of tlie
J. United States; hut wherever they prevail, North,
Sunt 11, East or West, they all equally spring from tlie
same miasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; but as the
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove tlmt cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is u re
agent, or iu other wonts a specific remedy. AU Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal aud vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lauds, is the same iu character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to ull who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing tlie unerring nttinity subsisting between op
posites, there is iu tbc preparation before us, offered to
the public,
Tire Natural Antidote (o Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completed)'purifies the system affected by it ol'its
baneful influence, and tints restores anil preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to ho entirely new, aud un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
tlie following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly check the ague iu persons who have
suffered lor any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical euro will be effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure (o malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison iu the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, anil when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent tlie accession of
General Delillily and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
fines. The patient ut once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of tlie CURE iu every part of
tlie United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying os to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
Win n these declarations were made ut the date of its
iulroduct on, they seemed incredible to many, even of
tlie most candid minus, because all ihe resources of
science hail been tuxed iu vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and wbat was stiil worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to pofeonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quiniue, Mercury, Salieine, Ac.
Tlie effects of those are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when su ’i remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their puis nous effects are superaddeil
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using auy aecict Fever ami Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that tlieil’ potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is uot only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public. Confidence,
Because of its
Singular anil Foitlre Hu miles sues*,
Tlie following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated
chemists pi the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to evei y bottle:
New Yorx, June 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, hut
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to tlie constitution.
“JAMEB It. CHILTON, M. D.. Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, then fore, tlmt this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve tlie human family from
malarious diseases, hut to do ail equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of nuy fun-fit I 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 tlie one
under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
the same cause, and therefore all, botli residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by Hie 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 ns a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibiiious purgative. Tlie
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil. the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or tlie operation of the antidote will lie seriously ob
structed.
Only C aut ion.—ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates, aud place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in whieh tills medicine is put up have tho
words, “Rhodes’ Fever ano Ague Cure” blown in tho
glass, and on the outside wrapper is tlie name of tlie
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions aro
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The RELIANCE lOR ITS SUCCESS IS ENTIRELY UPON ITS
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will ho considered sufficient.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ilio
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Barsuparillas, Pills, Plastcis. Liniments, fte., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspaper sbv
way of advertisements. My object In writing this note
for publication, is to iuducc tho public, or ut least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Heal Use in I‘utmonarg Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, lnm acting most unprofessional!)',and deroga
torily to tlie interests of Medical Bclenro and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy tlmt I liave
used with more success than any of the ’usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin. Miss.. May 1, 1855.
0. 0. Woodman —Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased witli its ef
fects; better than any other article I ever met with. I
would in- pleased to have you send mo half a dozen imt
tlos hy tho bearer. Respectfully,
W. Si. Mason, M. and.
This prepsu'iitloii has Attained a wide celebrlly from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties ns a dissolvt nt
and its soot lung power to all irritations of the throat
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetiser, or dyspeptic remedy, it w ill
also he found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
kcepiing the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
lias stoisl the test of tlie medical fraternity. It is sane- 1
tinned by. approved of. and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant.

ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
NO POISON. PROOFS !
See what the President of tho Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria;
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. It. Chilton,
of New York city, iu favor of Rhodes’ Fever ami Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, aud having received numerous ap
plications for it, I m ils induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for tho medicine. Since thens have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, w ho have inva
riably been cured by it, aud to whom 1 can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
tlie proprietor represents.

Providence, June 2U, 1356.
Having been informed of the illness of a pour, but
worthy woman, who hits uot been fre e from Fever and
Ague a month at a time for the last twelve years, f sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever aud Ague
Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, and as four mouths
have now elapsed, there is no reason toiloubt the perma
nency of tlio cure.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just Bent
au order to Ames ft lialiiday for another half gross of
your Fever aud Ague Cure. Xthassold like” Hot Cokes,”
and 1 have only two bottles on baud. Oue reason it
has sold, is because when 1 have heard of u case of Ague
or Chill Fever, l have sent a bottle and teld them to Icy
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they werd all satisfied. I had one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but tho man came
to see me on tlie sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

demand for more; to meet which we have ordered
from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.

We remain respectfully vours,

Dn. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your Cure for tlie Fever
aud Ague has thus fiir performed wonders, It has uot
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled witli the distress

Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmu f Panama, several
months since, and in spite of th ■ different remedies
aud treatment 1 adopted, my heal ‘..grew worse until
1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Since thst time I have uot had a single chill, and am

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. One young lady
in tiie ramily of a clergym m here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got u bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
llev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, lnd„ Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here lor about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
•perfect success. Respectfully yours,
W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. li. ll,Ga, Jan. 1, 1850.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and do
sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all I
cau iu its salo. W. A. HAYLKS.
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 into every town and village
in Cto United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. li. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fi-ct innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not. just as they please.
I can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers are those who a year ngo 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 he noticed that tlie letters
ot which 1 publish sn h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more tliun
fill any newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greuter suc
cess nml sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tire CiovvniugGlory
of the Cure is its 11 AItMLESS CHARACTER, which
allow s its tree use as a preventive. Thus protected bv
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman nr child in the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or auy form of disease arising
from tho atmospheric poison Maluria, to which tlie
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
ti a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor nml tie-
Witty or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
