NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLL'ID, |

t .riotous why it should Lx* used Instead of any other treat
meut in all Febrile affection* :
let—Economy of Time.-A* only tnu-se.venlh
of the ordinary time in required Cos effect a care. •
ltd.—Gcoimmy of Money.-A it costa but one
dollar.
Ilrd. — Kconomy of Peeling— -As it saves tlio
suffering of a long sickness anil the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating down of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, aud tbe pain of
long confinement; but little of tbofluid belug necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
Kli. —Reenoiny of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile alloc turns; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
51 it.— Economy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the lever
subject to lie pillowed oy chronic disease.
Hill.—Economy of Islfe. —As the cure is effected
before aud without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding dog no, ail ilangcrot a fatal
termination.
tltlier masons might lie added, hut these are deemed
eulUclont to satisfy all class ‘s and person* in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut will
apply with equal force to eases which have been subject
ed hi or hav become reduced, corresponding of comae
•o the nature of the case at the time it is tirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used sisin after
(lie attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturai', conclude th y
w-r i not attacked with lever, and if so, “it was trilling
a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothin, and rams, pieties —it would have passed oil with
out any tiling—that medicine had uoeffect.” Tile general
impression ou the subject of fever is sueh, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common cuso
mi naturally as men think at all; and it i not until
toe individual has witnessed many caseethat lie can fully
lvalue the trullit and even Mien he may conclude them
all very ti iflitig cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
I,imiii thus successful iu perhaps I urn'l reds of cases, must
expect that there w ill cases occur wln re there is some
01 gallic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the Influence of the “ Fluid” passes
oil, an the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
ugaiust disappointment in puen cuses that I have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have callcsl a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Eeven In (>eiieral>
On this subject 1 wish to he fully understood. Ily the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but ns they arise by a great
variety of causes, anil in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, tin y of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general cliaractcr
ietlcs—that oi undue excitement in tbe circulatory and
nervous systems—lnducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, 4c.
To snow that I am not wholly alone in the opinion i
advance, I quote from tbe rclchrafcd Prof. T. Watson,
of King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text lasik in many ol*
our medical colleges, anil consequently st'i nilu rd uut fiord y
Uu page 8114, lie saysWo b"ar runt inimlh, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever s;se
leu of. Hy the public, ,ypliii* Fever, Brain Fever,
Ifilions Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. Anil systematic writers are to the full ns particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I mu persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all tills sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
enconrages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its no me. There is no
lino of genuine distinction between continued levers,
that 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 rememhruuce
and 1 would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
lever, treat it. at once as hereafter directed, and you
will he well inateiui of any distinetclinructer being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific,
‘fins assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of tbo sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
you will soon be freed from all dread id’ linger
ing and dangerous fevers, lint as eases may have lie
tome developed before tlie ‘• Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as brlnlly its possible the proper course to lm pursued in
all of tlie most prominent fevers, though the “ Itu’.es”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Rules important to be observed in all cam s in using the,
Negative Electric Eluitl.
Ist. It should lie given in three or four limes its own
quantity of water, auu may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Bailouts im.st bo free from all currents of uir,
(though tliero should always bo free ventilation iu the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
(Id. It must bo continued whenever tlio fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
lib. When the fever begins to subsido, patients must
bo left perfectly quiet; free from nil excitement; should
not ho questioned hs lo their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their oum natural feelings, independent of all ext -v
----ueous influences, itutuce them to rise or s, ak ; nor
should any conversation bo allowed iu their hearing, in
which they may feel more or loss interested, but be left
quiet tout I intents and purposes.
sth. Fluids slionld be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, aud as long as the patient desires anil no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
fttli. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while iu the lying posture, so ns to occasion a
restlessness after tlie lever line passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have u little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant ; or the face and
breast may be bathed Iu cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TAHIiK OF DOSES.
For children of oue year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “* sto 15 “
n•• -i “ f, <• 12 t„ 30 “
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ 2O lo 50 “
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoouful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in tlie prime of life;
uor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary In giving It to
children those of ti n years of age frequently having
taken full doses; hut for a little guide, 1 have giveu Hie
a hove table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
Le found agreeable ill all of its effects, tlie expectations
of tlie most sanguine realised, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that
tlio full heuf tit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
uot ou nccouut of auy actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever,
Give a teiisponlul of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes tlie whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as arc set forth iu the
“ llulcs,” But should there lie prominent leal symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie
attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If m any case tlie bov.'cls are particularly constipated
or conllned, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries 1 with the
first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running lit) or
upward-, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the i. t'.uence of medicine —not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teasp,Kiiisfiil
may be given at tirst with advantage, and even repeated
in two h.iura—df it—the pulse—has not I men pate nut,
thus showing the medicine has taken effvt.
Bathing the surface with water at ou agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, w ill afford relief aud aid
the medicine much in ‘akiug effect.
Cimgtdlvr Fever.
(live two is!ul an I repeal every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and sort, then only a tca
rpoo'iful, to be discontinued as the fever subside I. as
the bowels are generally conllned, and it is ttoquently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should be lost to get them o|H'ii, give some notive’
cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat as may be neces
sary till It operates; enemas (Injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities or
frietiou(rubbingl witli the hands or flannel; also, ,idd
applications to the head. Quinine may Is-added to the
** Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship stud Putrid
or Spotted Fever,
As these fevers nrc all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small ami wiry, witli c. general grent depression, there is
lio practical nsc iu separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
tally developed, a little patience will bo required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the Common treatment, while with this but a few days
will he necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence. •
k . The treatment should be commenced—whieh mnv
| immediately follow any o'*"*r without detriment—with
f “ teaspoouful of “ Fluid” every two hours till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
tnce in six or eight honrs till the fever entirely subsides.
In bail cases, from throe to five grains cacti of quinine. I
and capsicum. (Cayenne popper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should lie kept gently opeu, ami small portions
of some UriKdic should lie giveu occasionally, oven
though the howels should be very loose. The patient j
should ho sustained hy nourishing and mucilaginous
drinks—such as nru in common use in such cases.—
Whero tlie skin is very dry, sponging the surface us di- I
rented in bilious fever, will he found advantageous, j
Tonics should he used duriug convalescence, in uli cases j
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(Jive a teaspoouful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
witli a wine-glassful ol a strong decoctiou of Imnemt; or
half the quantity limy be given every hour till relieved,
then, ut longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should bo given warm till the violeut
symptoms are alluyed, or tlie patient is relieved ; tln-n
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to bn applied over the seat of puiu; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variulu, Varioloid, Rnheola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, tlie treatment
differs hue little from that offcommoil fevers. Kemember
never wait to learu the “ name,” whether it is oue or the
other, or w ither, as they all comuienco with fever, Imt
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he uo
trouble; there will be but little eruption eveu in small
(six. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will be nit short; attended with Imt little erup
tion; little or no pitting, und that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will elukc
not only my reputation, but ad that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on thissuhjsct, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, puge 871:
“ You may abate the force of tlie eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie number of Utc pustules hy
spline purges, 4c.” Here is the admission that it limy
lie done. I nave not only proven it may he, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on hoard
ship. See tlio account appended.
Uivoa teaspoouful ur more, according to tlie urgency
of tlio case, with a dose of sails or castor oil; repeat tlio
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though olio or two doses is genera.ly sufficient;
liut it sli.mid bo giveu and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may bu used, and tlie
surface bulbed, as thought advisable.
In one ease, on tlio BilipDuchess d’Orleans, the tongue
ami lawns were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid on his tongue, drop hy drop, till ho could swallow,
when ii was given in teaspoouful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlio swelling of
tin’ throat was reduced so ns to enable him to take nour
ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gurgle in ail such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and ularniing
malady to which tlio mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspnniiful. almost invariably giving entire und per
manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as Hie
Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should bo re
peated us lor 5 as tbe fever coutinues, its in other eases.
Tlio bowels ot course should lie attended to.
In connection witli this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a low general remarks, which, if regarded by
tin’ ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid iu
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its paius
aud difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation w ill Is: relieved st once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Hestlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one ol tlio most convenient and
effectual remedies tor many of the ills of females, if uot
tlm most so of auy medicine known, its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing nil excitability
and iritability ol the nervous us well as tlio circulatory,
if will uot force sleep like opiates, but it w ill sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; henco its use ill 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 all cases. As tlio Negative Electric Fluid
will change tlie condition culled lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soluiid 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 110 unnecessary
time will then be lost. As tbe‘,Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 call ati else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tlie tirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrliuea, give something kuown to be good for
that complaint, though il’ caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent )iuin iu the head, apply cold water, ieo water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe
tlie feet iu hot water; if the lover is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at ail agreeable temperature;
“tin* saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits ami
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if tlie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics ami stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
duriug convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tlio stomach
to do any good; tor this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” ami a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat allthe prominent symptoms
as you would under ally other circumstances, giviug tlie
“Fluid” at tlio same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realise it till you
have seen, ami then you will lie astonished at tlio ease
with whieh you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel ut a loss to know what is mount by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 liavo found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, ami to be fully understood by
all, 1 w ill name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 iia\e referred to, viz :
( at liar! tea.—Articles thatpiirge or operate on tlio
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tlie roots
or barks, and many pills, uutiliilious, Ac.; anything
known to lie good for such purposes.
llepntics.—Anything known to net outlie liver
particularly, portal circulation anil secretions generally.
Any of the article# depended on by tlie different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under it's in
fluence. Aud oue may choose calomel—•another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—tlio fourth, niaudrake
root, aud so ou; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tune or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents. —Such us chock tlie action of tlio
how els. laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlio effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is oue of the last;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, 4c., the esseuces are all more
or less stimulating, rhese are tlie only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bet'er “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” und
“sedative ’ than known in the materia median.
1 shall not tax the reader w ith a loug list of proofs,
depending mainly on Hie results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Pst'kiUiiip Dm'lirss D'Orleaiu.
w hich cannot be classed among ordinary certiffcates;
We. the Undersigned, certify to the following, viz—
We took passage ou the puckotsliip Duchess d'Orleans,
Cupt llniton, tlien lying in the port of Havre. France
and bound for Now York. She sailed on ths Mih of Au
gust, 1851, witli over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tbe small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge, l)r. N. W . Seat, witli
a tie v remedy of Ids own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in n few hours, and curing
iu a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there we re about eighty cases of small pox."some fever,
4c.. and uot a single death. All were cured with unit,
stml promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Sent on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. \V e never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so mucli oaoe, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, ami not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

New Principle ! New Remedy! No Poison!
Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure;
Oh Antidote to Malaria;
FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE
Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and
other Intermittent und Bemittent Fevers; also of
Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Syrnp
tons; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship
and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night
Sweats, and all other forms of disease
WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IX
MA.XiA.X4IA. OK MITEIiA.
riMlEfiE diseases are common to many localities of the
JL baited states; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring from the
same miasinal cause. The great variety olsymptoius and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; hut as tlie
cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
tiiat is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
anil for every disease, or cause of diseuse, there is a re
agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal aud vegetable mutter, or even newly
cleared lands, is tlio same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating iu the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. ill accordance witli those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to
tlie public,
Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes tlie jioison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in tlie open,uir, and when taken inter
nally completely purities tlie system affected hy it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to he entirely new, aud un
known to any but tlio proprietor, who distinctly claims
tlie following extraordinary results from its use :
it will instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered lor any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and hy continuing its use, aecurdiug to the direc
tions, a radical cure will be effected; tlie patient contin
uing free from theeomphdnt fur ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should utak” its use again necessary.
Iu its operation upon tlie poison iu the 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 Deldlity and Night. Sweats,
which so often fellow the administration of other mode
cines. Tlie patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever und Ague may he banished from
every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me
chanics, ami all laboring people may be using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue 1 licit respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks duriug tlie sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of tlie
year.
Since tbe introduction of tiie CUKE iu every part of
tlio United States, its success lias been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
intruduct.ou, they seemed incredible to many, even of
tlie most candid minds, because nil ilic resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue sguc or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such ax Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Baliciue, 4c.
Tlie effects id” these are sometimes worse titan tlie disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their (lots nous effects are superadded
to the poor sufferer's first complaint.
On tliis account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken witli perfect safety, eveu when it is
notoriously well known that tln-ir potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that tbe Keuiudy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public bonliiU ncc,
Because of its
Singular axial Kill ire Hai iiilcssness,
The following certificate front one of tlie most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to evei y bottle:
New York, June 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of cither in it, nor itave I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to tlie constitution.
“JAMES It. CHILTON, M. 1)., Chemist.”
It i) a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do uu equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient make*
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as tlio one
under consideration, if the medicine bo taken in advance.
Tliis is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one tin t
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and uot wait for the poison already
lurking iu their veins, to develop itself iu a violent
uttuck. Take the Cure as a preventive, aud so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Bhysicinn long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a HAild cathartic or antilulions purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, tlie object of which i to cleanse the stomach
and free tlie biliuVy passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or tliero is costiveness, it must re taken
or the operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates, and placo them iu
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tbe medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tbo
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degtec commensurate with its expo
sure,the miasmata or poison euutained in thea]mrtnient.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie
resorted to when very young infants are exposed lo
malarious situations.
Tlie bottles in whieh this medicine is put up have tlie
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown m tbe
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) a:ul tlie
signature of tlio proprietor. These preeautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations,
The reliance fox its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will bo considered sufficient.

Dear Pir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies fur Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*. Pills. Plaster*. Liniments, 4c., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers bv
way of advertisement*. My object iu writing this note
fur publication, is to induce tlio public, or at least those
who are afflicted, lo use one that coutaitu articles of
Ileal Cse in Pulmonary Diseases. I aui conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most nnprofessionaJly.iind dcruga
torilv to the interests of Medical Science aud the regular
Pruotitiouers of Medicine, l refer to Woodman's Chc n v
Expectorant, which is u scientific remedy that 1 Lava
used with more success tlum any of the usnnl prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF
RHODES’ FE VER AND AGUE CURE,
OR
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
NO POISON. PROOFS !
Sec what the President of tlie Pharmaceutical Society
ol Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fevei und Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria:
Sr. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
IIAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
i. J- given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Cliiiton,
of New York city, in laver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither QuiniL'. Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for the medicine. Siuce then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to rcsidentsof tills city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.

Prcsd’t of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri.

Providence, June 2d, 1865.
Having been Informed of the illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who has not been fro efrom Fever and
Ague a month at a time tor tlie last twelve years, I sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. Site took iu all four bottles which completely re
stored her to heal tli and strength, and as four months
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma
nency of the cut e.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l itave just sent
an order to Ames 4 llalliday for another half gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure. J t lias sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
aud 1 have only two hott'es on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, i have sent a bottle aud told them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. 1 had one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but tlie man came
to see me on tlio sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

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. 1 was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several
months since, and in spite of th • different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my heal 1 . 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 -dicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the valuo of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in tlie family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
tlie Cure aud lias uot had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticeluo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about throe years, und cun con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself ami prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
’ W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. R.,Ga.,Jnn. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its
merits, ami given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only ono bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all 1
can in its sale. “w. A. HAYLEB.
Ii any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced us rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, 4c. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. It. Chilton, of New Y'ork. certifies to its per
fect 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 arc those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure Oil commission. They ‘bought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish su It immense quantities arc always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill auy newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess aud sale tliun ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie ClownlngG 1 ory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its tree use as a preventive. I Inis protected hy
using a bottle or two during the warm ami sickly sea
sons, not u mail woman or child in tlie United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever anil Ague.
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick und permanent effects
as 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.
