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. Hales important to be nbseri'ed in all cases in using the. Negation Electric Fluid. 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. which caunot bo classed among ordinary certificate* * We, tiie undersigned, certify to the following viz— Wo took passage ou the packetship Duchess d’Ui'ieuus Onpt llotton, then lying iu the port of Havre.

They were all treated by tlio physician in charge, Dr. N. W.

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. Prepared aud sold bv tbe proprie'or, JAMES A. RHODES. Providence, R. I, For sale in Columbus by K.IVLIN, THOMAS A CO., February 10, 1856. ly Druggists.

She took in all four bottles which completely re stored lier to health and strength, and as four months have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tiie perma nency of the cure. C. A. P. MASOF, Apothecary. TO Hot lit** Perform 70 Cures, Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1855. 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 of Chill Fever where it. ,iu four days, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perform 24 Cures.

Some who have been troubled with the distress ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one bottle of the Cure. Please send u“ immediately four dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATIUtOP A MCLEAN. 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, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. Iu another column of to-day ‘s paper will he found an advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the altiicted, that Wm. N. liowe, Merchant, Sliarpsburg. who has it for sale, in forms us tliat he sold several dozen 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, Boonsbvro, Ml. Sept. 4. 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.
