’ ** ould bo umd instead of any other troat
lu‘ lit in all Febrile affections :
onomy of Time.—As only one-seventh

*'*■” Hconomy of Honey.—As it c ®ts but one
dollar
3 -d.—Economy of Feeling.— As it saves the
tailoring of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement: but little of the fluid lasing necessary,
ami that pleasant in ita effects.
Ith.—Economy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
.Ith.—Economy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to bo followed tiy chronic disease.
ttlh.—Economy of Life.—As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, iu a corresponding ilcgree, all dungurof a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might lie added, hut these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons iu all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are mere particularly applicable to
tile Immediate treatment on the first attack, but v. .11
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to the nuture of the cose at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As thin remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, iu all ordinary eases, when used soon after
the attack, |minuiis can scarcely realize that they Imd
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
V. .-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 liod no effect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
bot unlike the above follow the cure of a common ease
a-, naturally as men think at ail; and it is not until
the individual lias witnessed many casesthat he can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very ti ifliug cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been lints successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great os to reqnire particular
attention. or though success ul in reducing the fever,
it will again t i;<u as the influence of the “Fluid” pusses
oil, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in such cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have railed a “ synopsis.”
Atmarks on Fevers In General*
On tint, subject 1 wish to be lolly understood. Ily the
term “ fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
ami other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, th y of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that o. undue excitement iu tho circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in I lie pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated —of. T. Watson,
ol King's College, London, whose work ■ n the •* Prinui
pies and Practico of Physic” is a text book in many of
our me. cal coll, ges, and consequently standard authority.
tin page 834, lie says We bear continually, both in
ami out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid F’ovor, Low Fever, Nor v, )us F’ever,
Ac. Ami systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uustro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fover shows itself under
various forms. I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this Nub-uivision, is bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition already too prevalent, to pro
scribo for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
tha* can be relied ou. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, anil are often
traceable to the same cause ”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
ami 1 would imprtu ou your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling voniself about a “name;” if you have
lever, treat it ut once as hereafter directed, mid you
mill lie. well instead of auy distiuctcharocter being devel
oped, so as tu bo properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of miml, but on experience at the bed
v.ae of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(hy myself nml others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
anil treat at once without regard to nueie, and rest
leisured you will boo., be freed from all dryad of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But os coses may have be
come developed before the ‘• Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describo
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for ail those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

cold warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
OUi. .should patients experience any oppression or
flunmess while in the lying posture, HO as to occasion a
restlessness after tho fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion then. ,o speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some ether stiniulaut; or the face and
breast may bo bathed ip cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from .'1 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ bto 15 “
“ 2 “ 5 “ h VJ to 30
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ - 20 to 60
“8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
AU persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do uot
require as much ns young, or those iu the prime of life;
uor females, as a general rule, as much us males.
There Is no particular care necessary iu giving it to
children —those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the incaHoine limy l>c obtained, and
uot on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
Uivo a teaspunful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever Is evidently passing oft’; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
lever, with such observances os nre set forth in me
“ UuU-s.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should he
attended to ut once, and while giving the “ Fluid,”
See Synonsis.
If iu auy case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
tirst portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again. -
Where the lever is very high, pulse rulining 110 or
upwards, and the patient Is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of iuedicun—not easily o|M>ratcd ou by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may bogiveu at Hrst with advantage, and even lopeated
iu two hours—if it—tho pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine lias taken effect.
Bittliiug the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the sulluo wash, vinegar or spirits anil
water, in these dim ult eases, will afford relief and old
the medicine much ill taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Uive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
ipoouful, to be discontinued us the fever subsidei As
the bowels are generally routined, and It is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease
no time should be bud to get them open, give smile active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat us may be uecee
sary till <t operates; enemas (injections) may also be
used to r.uvautage; also, mustard to the extremities or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to ibe
“ FTuid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship autl Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of oue character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, witli a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far tu
my treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will |,e required’ still
comparatively little, as they frequently . , in weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few davs
I convaU ‘ -ry at lonK °“ t to <* t Mbh a permanent
i The I . t ” tn ‘„nt should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoon fill of Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to In continued
>nc* in six or eight hours till the fiver entirely subsides.
! In bad cases, from three to live grains each of quinine
| and capsicum (Cayenne pejqier) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each (fuse. The
bowels should he kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. The patient
should ho sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
drinks—such as are iu common use in such cases.—
Where tlio skin is very dry, sponging the surface us di
rected iu bilious ievor, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all rases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Uive a teuspoonful of tlio “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bouesot; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or night hours.
The boiiesot teu should be given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over tho seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Turloluld, Rubeoia anil Scarla
tina I 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, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Kemember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, us they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will I w but tittle e.rupturn even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, wilt lit. cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, but ad that 1 bold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
I'rot. Watson, previously quoted; lie says, page 874:
” You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spliue purges, Ac.” Here is the odinissiou teat it may
he done, I have not only proven it may be, hut has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
(live a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor jil; repeat tho
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the lever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should be given uud repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, us thought advisable.
In one case, on tlio ship liucheßSd’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were sumueli swollen that tho patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when ii was givou iu tcospoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him tu Luke nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat irequently, it is doubtless the
best gurgle ‘a all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
1 his heretofore painful, daugerous and alarming
malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should be re
peated as long ns tho fover continues, ns iu other cases.
• he bowels of course should be attended to.
iu connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a lew general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering, it
is to inform them of tlio happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must bo tried to lie appreciated.
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose uud retiring, Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if nut
the most so ofuny medicine known, its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iri. ability of ike nervous as well us the circulatory.
It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
houltlvy ; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, ami condense the treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for aU cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circwustauces, without regard to the
name it uiuy bo or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must lie removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any cose, they should
Ih: appropriate means, and these sohuld he given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily uct
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then he lost. As tho >, Fluid” alone will sub
due the lever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cuthartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon alter, and should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhu-a, give something known to lie good for
that complaint, though it caused by irritability, tlio
“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, ek*t!in wet in cold water, to the pal; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tlio foot in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and lint, with great suffering, sponge or butlie the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
eiuo in iakiug effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if tlio patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias becomo 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 the stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lms settled, give tho “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary: in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“ Fluid” at tho same time as directed, ami success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease
with which you can control e.n febrile excitement.
A axilla) ien.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about w hut is used. 1 have found no sueli necessity
when using tho Fluid, and to Ih> fully understood by
all, 1 will mime a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cat I.art ten.—Articles that purge or operate ou the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, uud many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good lor such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act ou tho liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with tho “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that give ton, or strength, such
ns quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bono
set or thoroughwort is one of the besl used in fevers
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
nowt'iH. laudanum and other preparations of opium art
used ; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
St tin til tint *•—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Causicuin (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best:
finger, npiritH, hartshorn, &c., the essences arc all nu>n , i
or less Stimulating. Those nre tlio only dosses necosso
ly in treating fevers, though many others uro genotelly
used, but tile Negative Electric Fluid is a bot'er •• dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in tlio materia medico.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tlio results of a tiial, nml will
only refer to ono instance of success, that u’n the
Paeketslitp Duchess D’Orlcans.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates *
Me, the undersigned, certify to the* following viz—
W o took passage on the packetshlp Duchess d’Urloans
Capt Hutton, then lying in tho port of Havre Franco
and bound for New York. She sailed on the th of Am
gust, 1851, witli over a hundred souls on board. mostly
emigrants- AKw days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, fhey were all
treated by tiie physician iu charge. Dr. N. M'. Sent, with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative’Elec
tric Fluid,with which beseemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
ill a very short time. *
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days
there were about eighty cases of small pox. some fever
Ac., ami not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From w hat we saw during said passage, we nre fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Sent ou the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to tile nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage
small pox and fever ou board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

New Principle ! New Remedy! No Poison! I
Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure ;
Ok Antidote to Malaria ;
FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE
Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, uud
otber Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of
Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp
tons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship
and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night
Sweats, and all other forms of disease
WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MALARIA OR MIASMA.
TI’IIESE diseases are common to many localities of the
X United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
Sooth, Eiist or West, they all equally spring from the
same miasniul cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in ago,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but ns the
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lauds, is Hie same ia character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who
breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws
governing tlio unerring allinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to
the public,
Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in the open air, and w hen taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and tliiiß restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, wiio distinctly claims
tile following exUutordluary results from its use:
It will instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered tor any length of time, from oue day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, n radical cure will be effected; the patient contin
uing free from tiie complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its oiieratiou upon the poison in Hie system, it will
immediately relieve all tiie distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, amt when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
cities. The patieut at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use F'ever and Ague may bo 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 in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often tu them the most valuable part of tho
year.
Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of
the 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
introduction, they seemed iucrcdihle to many, even of
tiie most caudiil minds, because uil ibo resources of
science had 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, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercery, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worso than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ti e superaddeti
to tiie poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
tiiey may ho taken, with perfect safety, even w hen it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is uot only valuable
on account of its power to cure iliseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Harmlessness,
The following certificate from one of tiie most celebrated
chemists m the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle:
New York, June 11, 1855.
“1 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, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found
auy substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, there fore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to d-> an equally good work by
preventing tiie 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 the medicine bo taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an i
tiie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves hy tiie timely use
of this preventive, and not w ait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure os a preventive, and so destroy
the poisou before it does barm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished I'hysiciuu long resident iu
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. Tlio
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleans-- the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costivencss, it must he taken
or the oiieratiou of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of oue or more bottles of tho Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and place them iu
sleeping rooms ; for the vapor rising from tho medicine,
and also tiie air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
and destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata orpoisou 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 which this medicine is put up have tho
words, “ltuoDEs’ Fever and Aiiue Cure” blown in tho
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the nainoofthe
medicine, (tiie copyright of which is secured) and tlio
signature of tiie proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced aud used. These
will bo considered sufficient,

N*w OftI. SAN'S, April 0, 1855.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of .ins
thousands of reinodlesfor Diseased Lungs, under the titles,
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the uowspaperaby
w.iy of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains article* ot’
Jicai l.• in Pulmonary Dittxtsa. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessiounlly, and deroga.-
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mcdldue. 1 refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which Is a scientific remedy tlmt 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M_D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1. 1835.
O. 0. Woodmax—Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and um well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article I ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send mo half a dozen, bot
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason. X , D.
This preparation lias attained a wide celebritrr front
the universal success which has attended its use. Eor
coughs, colds, and In fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and Its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As nil appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy. It will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper toue.
Komesuber that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned 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.

GREAT TRIUMPHS
AND
UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF
RHODES’ FEVER AND AGUE CURE,
OR
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
NO POISON. PROOFS !
See what tho President of the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ F’evet and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria;
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAVINU noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by tho celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in favor of Rhodes’ Fever uud Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mor
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous up- I
plications for it, 1 wus induced to send to Dr. _RliodeH
for tiie medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have iuvu
liubly been cured by it, uml to whom I cun refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recominouding it to be all lhat
the proprietor represents.

Prosd’t of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri.
Ifatl the Ague for Twelve Year* !
Providence, June 2’J, 1855.
Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who has not been fre e from Fever uud
Ague a mouth at -a time for the lust twelve years, 1 sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, and as four months
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma
nency of the cure.

Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1855.
James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —I have just sent
an order to Ames & Hulliday for unother half gross of
your Feveraiid Ague Cure. It has sold like •• Hot t akes,”
and 1 have only two bottles ou 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 and teld them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were uct obliged to
pay for it, and they were all Satisfied. I laid one ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Mr. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —The box of “Ague

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

and Ague cases. Hoping these cases may bo few, yet
have a bottle for every case.
We remain respectfully yours,

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.
Maxwell, Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19; 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your medicine has met
with the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I
have about five bottles left. I give it to them at first,
‘if no cure no pay,’ although 1 was not authorized hy
you to do so; but I took the respon.ibility ou myself.—
But uot a bottle lias come back, and as I am almost out
of the article I wish you would forward me one gross of
the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will be
punctual in payment. 1 inclose fifteen dollars on the
medicine 1 have received, for which please send me a
receipt. Ship the cure*tome as soon as you can—there
never has been as much Chills and Fever since 1 lived in
the State, as at present. Yours, Ac.,

Dll. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Y’our Cure for the Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress
ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one
Lottie of the Cure. Please send us immediately four
dozen, as we have hut three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
hy your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the oenefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmn if Panama, several
months since, and in spite of th - different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my heal i .-grew worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. —
Since tht time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing your m -dicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire
to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N.
Kowe, Merchant, Sbarpsburg, who has it for sale, in
forms us that be sold several lozen bottles, and in
every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi
cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it
before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, JSoonsLorn,

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Rear Sir— l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the lauiily of a clergyman hero has been tnking an
“■AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cuvo and lias not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from n Physician.
Monticello, Ind., 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 and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11. C. 11. R.. Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure lias ovorcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A. IIA YLES.
If auy body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced ns rapidly as possible into every town and villnge
in the 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 with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
I can nlso say that a great many of my largest custo
mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters
of which I publish sn h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fillany newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use us a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child in the United States
would ever liavo a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison .Malaria, to which the
Cure is n perfect antidote. •
It is also unequalled for quick and 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 orany kind of Intemperance or dissipation.
