NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared !>/ N. \V. Seat, M. D.
Reused* why it should be used in*tead of any other treat
ment in all Kibrile affections:
Ist.--Eeinomy of Time. —As only one-seventh
of tile ordinary lime ie required to effect a cure.
3d.~Kcoitoiny of Money.—Am it Coats but one ;
dollar.
3rd.—Ecruamy of Feeling—As it MaveH tlio
suffering of a long eiokuesa aiei the consequent treat- j
meat; the annoyance of taking uaUMeating dozes of
uiediciue, thoir disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and tbnt pleasant in ita etfecta.
4th.—Economy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove ail dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
Oth. —Economy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently nicked; nor is the fever ‘■
subject to he followed hy chrome disease.
Oth.—Economy of Life.—As the cure Is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, In a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might ho added, hut these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes aud jiorsous in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons ar** more particularly applicable s o
the immediate ‘reatment on the first attack, but will
apply witli iqaal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
*0 tire nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli y
wen not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, whicii gave alarm—it could linve been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off witli
oui anything—that medicine tiad noeffecl.” The general
impression on too subject of fever is aur.h, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and It is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very t iffing caeo, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expert that there wil cases occur wli- ro there is some
organic or ‘oral cause so great as to require particular
attention- or though success ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise ns the influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in sum (uses that I have given
aud frequently refer to what X have culled a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General*
Ou tills subject i wish to be fully understood, By the
term “fevers,” I compreheud all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
aud other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a gro t
variety of causes, aud in quite dissimilar constitutions
and liubiiH, they of course differ considerably in their
development aud exhibit a variety of forms cr typos;
yet ail are distinguished by the same general character
istics —Dial <> undue excitement in tlio circulatory anil
nervous systems—inducing more or losn unnatural fre
quency i:i the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tlio skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that ] am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, X quote fro. i the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
ol iviug'e College, London, whoso work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard uuthoidy.
Ou p.ige 834, he says:—“ Wo hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putriu Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. Aud systematic wi iters are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic Adynamic, Gostlo-Euleric, find
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, i am persuaded that tlm effect upon the
mind of all tli'i sub-division, is l>ud anil 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 bo relied on. They run insensibly into each
• ‘.her, even tlm most dissimilar of them, anil are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of huntiug
up or troubling you.sell about a “name;” if you have
lever, treat it at onco uu hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any distinctcharocler being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypotb- is based ou leset specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) ul ler a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons ami climates. Bear this in mind,
aud treat at once without regard vo name, and rest
assured you wiil soon bo freed from all drwui of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may liuve be
come developed afore the “ Fluid” is given, eitiier liy
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 wil) describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to lie pursued in
all of tlio most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sutfleient for all those
accustomed Cos attendance upon the sick.

Ist. it should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
id. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing jff; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When tlio fever begins to subside, patients must
bo left perfectly quiet; freo from all excitement; should
not be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, road or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in tl.Ar hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
6th. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it ns
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and uo
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, nr teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or iwticnts desire.
6th. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while ill tlic .yiug posture, so as (o occasion a
restlessness after the lever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, t™dy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast may be bathed in cold water; cither of which
will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
& teaspooufui is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or tlioso iu the prime of life;
nor females, us a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those of ton years of age frequently having
taken full dtses; but for a little guide, 1 imio 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
lie found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and uiauy perfectly
astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that
the full beuetlt of the medicine may be obtained, and
not ou aocount of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious oi* Heiuiltent Fever,
Oiveateaspr. ful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently ; assing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in till simple eases of
lever, with such observances as are set forth ill tlio
“ Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or knowu local existing causes, they should b,
attendee to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must bo opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fev-r is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the iufluence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or “two tenspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened ,
thus showing tlm medicine lias taken offset.
Bathing tl.o surface with water at an agreonblo
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, In these difficult ca iss, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
tlive two teaspoouaful and repeat every two hours till
the pu.se becomes more hill and soft, then only a ten
spoonful, to he discontinued as the fever subside I. As
the bow els are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in tidy disease
uo time should be lorn to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid’’ and repeat as may tie neces
sary till it operates: enemas (Injections! n iay also bo
used to advantage, also, milliard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or tlaumd; also ixdd
applications to the head. Quinine may lie added to the
Field” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous r-vir, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As those fevers are ail of ono character, differing
mainly in degree, being all 0 f ~ i ow g r:l ,| t ,, the pulse
small aud wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use In separating them-at least so far as I
my treatment is concerned. l„ these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required* still I
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatments while with this hut a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence. r
The treatment should be commenced—which
immediately f o i| o w any other without detriment with
a toaspoonfhl of “Fluid” every two hours, till the noise
becomes fuller or huger iu volume, then to continued
mce in six or eight hour* till the fever enttiely subsides
In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
and cansicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should bo udded to each dose. Tlio
bowols should bo kopt gently open, und small portions
of some hepatic should lio given occasionally, oven
though the bowols should be very loose. Tbe patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilageuous
drinks—such as ure iu common use in such cases.—
Where the skin Ih very dry, sponging the surlace as di
r. ted iu bilious fever, will bo ioimd advantageous.
Tonics should bo used during couvalcscence, in nit eases
which have become reduced.
P:\enmoiiia, Typhoid Pni'iimonla, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a toaapoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hours, i
witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of buneset; or
half the quantity tray be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once m six or eight hours.
Tlio bonoset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms lire allayed, or thy patient is relieved ; then
colil; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to ho applied over the seat of pam; keep tlio
bowels geutly open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As ull of these diseases are attended with fever, which
iu lact is the moot prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common levers. Remember
never wait to learn tbe ‘•name,'’ whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they nil commence with Je.oer, but
treat it at once; govern tiie fever and there will he uo
trouble; there will bo but tittle, eruption even iu small
poy. This, ton ost minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, it treated as
1 direct, to ill be cut short; attended with but little eruje
tiou; little or no pitting, aud that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but a>l that I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, ife suys, page 874:
“You may abate tlio force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tbnt it uiuy
he done. 1 nave not only proven it mag be, but has
been done in numerous eases that occurred on bourii
ship. See tbe account appended.
(live a teaspooutul or more, according to the urgency
of tlio case, witli a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlio
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tne feversub
sides—thuiigh one or two dosee is genera ly sufficient;
but it should he given aud repeated sufficiently to keep
the lever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of tlio ordinary gurgles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and faurus were so much swollen that the patient cocld
not swallow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping the
Fluid ou his tongue, drop liy drop, till lie could : wallow,
when ii was given in teaspoonful dose:; ‘every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
Hie throat was rcuuced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment In about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle, in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is Ruble, will yield to file
Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re
peated us long as the fovet* continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a lew general remarks, which, if regarded by
tbe ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect ol’ the Fluid in
many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tiie labor of much of its pains
ami difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Paint'ul menstruation will be relieved at once by a cum
in in dose a ill retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
oi a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies formany of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tne whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and
quiet the system so that ono cun sleep naturally and
hea'.thy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment us much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for nil cases. As tlio Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition culled lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, witho- ♦, regard to tiie
name it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all orgunic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such iudications occur In any case, they should
bo appropriate means, and these sobulJ be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as tiny will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the ‘.Fluid” alone will sub
due tiie fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the flrst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that compliant, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
P*in or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations oi letter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tiie part; if
violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if tiie fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe tiie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief und aid tiie medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, ill absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tbe patient has become re
duced ; if there is nausea ami vomiting, that must l>e
allayed before any medicine wlll remain ou the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give tne “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat ail the prominent symptoms
as y oi. would under au.v other circumstances, giving tiie
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize It till you
have seen, and then you will bo astonished at the ease
will, 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 liuve found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understisir 1 by
all. 1 will name a tow of the different article* of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, souua, auy of the roots
or barks, and many pills, nuti bilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act outlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of tlio articles depended on by the different schools
for tills purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the.system is uutler its in
fluence. Ami one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tiie third, podophylliu—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take ids choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs, Bone
se. or thoronghwort is one of tbe best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum ami other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsic.m (Cayenne nepper) is ono of tiie best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Klectric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne, liuretic,” “relaxant” and
••sedative” than known in the materia metlica.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, ami will
only refer to oue instance of success, that on the
Patketahip Duchess D'Orlenns.

TW /X T.AIAIA OIL MIASMA.
riMIKSi) discuses are common to many localities of the
United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, Hast or West, they all equally spring from the
same miasmul cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution und habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
Hint js competent to overcome or remove tliat cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, cr 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 ol’ animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son flouting iu the atmosphere, causing disease to nil who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
jiosites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to
the public,
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
Which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact witli it, even in the open air, und when taken inter
nally completely purifies tiie system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any but tiie proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly check tiie agile in persons who have
suffered tor any length of time, from one day to r.wenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to tiie direc
tions. a radical cure will lie effected; tiie patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should muk- its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in the system it wRI
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague disease*, and when tiie disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession ol’
General Debility and Slight Sweats,
which so often follow tiie administration of other rnede
eines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve unt'l resti red to
perfect health.
By i use F.vor and ! cue may be banished from
every family and c’.ass iu ’’ -j community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
Aud pursue their resp.. tive avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during tiie sickly season,
which is often to them tiie most valuable part ol the
year.
Since the introduction of tiie CURE in every part of
the United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as to Rave fully proved these assertions in
tavor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made at the date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
tiie most candid minds, because all ihe 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, sucli as Arsenic, Quinine, Meicury, Snlicine, Ac.
Tlio effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, pr give only
teiiqiorary relief, their pois nous effects are superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly
careful about using auy secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of ita power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Harmlessness,
The tollowing certificate from on, of the most celebrated
chemists in tiie United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to evei y bottle :
New Youk, June 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, ami have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of eitiier in it, nor have 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the coustitutiou.
“JAMES K. CHILTON, M. I)., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve tin; human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
Tiie entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Kerne,ly not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by oue and
the same cause, and therefore all, botli resident and
travelers, should protect themselves by the 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 as a preventive, aud so destroy
tbe poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician 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 antibilious purgative. The
very best thing 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 tliat where
this is necessary, or there is eastivcriesa, it must he taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —lu certain specified case?-, penr
the contents of one or more bottles of tbe Cure ii.to
shallow vessels, (diniug plates, and place them iu
sleeping rooms; fur tiie 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 degree commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu 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 the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cure” blown in tiie
glass, ami on the outside wrapper is tiie name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
Tiie reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will bo considered sufficient.

Deal- Sir—Tiie public generally are fully aware of ilio
thousands of remediesfor Diseased Lungs, under tiie titles
of Sarsaparilias, Pills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., tliat are
daily brought to their notice through tiie newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce tiie public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use oue tliat coutnins articles of
Heal Use in J'uln.unary Diseases. lam conscious tliat iu
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessi-maliy, and dernga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and tiie. gn’.ar
Practitioners of Mediciue. 1 refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy tliat 1 Rave
used witii more sucre-s than any of the usual prescrip
tions used l.y Physicians.

Till* preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which ha* attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
tliis medicine, from Its peculiar properties as a dissoho ut
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, it* natural aud genial w armth
keeping the digestive powers In proper tone.
Remember tliat this is the only Cough Medicine that
ha* stood tiie test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physician* of New York city. Every bottle “is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than nny Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant. ’

St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, Isos.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by tiie celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, aud having received numerous ap
plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
tor tiie mediciue. Since then I have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, aud to whom 1 eau refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied iu recommending it to he all that
the proprietor represents.

Having been informed of tiie illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who lias not been fre e from Fever and
Ague a mouth at a time for the lust twelve years, I sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever aud Ague
Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re

have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tiie perma

James A. Rhodes, Esq. —Dear Sir:— l have just sent
an order to Ames & Halliday for another half gross of
your Fever aud Ague Care, it Inis sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on band. Ono reason it
has sold, is because w.ien 1 have heard of a case* of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle aud teld them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were nut obliged to
pay for u, and they were all satisiied. I had one ease

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James \. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills aud fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several
months since, and in spite of th ■ different remedies
aud treatment I adopted, my heal ugrew worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Since tbnt 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,

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. .7. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir— l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the tamily of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since slits got a bottle of
the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam seme time without relief
until lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been iu the practice
of Mediciue 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. It. li.. Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by Us
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
wlm has been fully cured by only one bottie, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
cau in its sale. W. A. lIAYLES.
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 the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. K. Chilton, of New Y'crk, 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 are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now* they
endorse them all, and it will lie noticed that the letters
of which I publish su li immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the tact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tl\e Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Tims protected by
using a bottle or two during tiie warm and sickly sea
sons. not a mail woman or child in the United States
would ever have a singio attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, orany form of disease arising
from tiie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlio
Cure is a 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 liUlous diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
