NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Pirprd by N. W. Sfiil., M. U.
Reasons why it should bn used instead of anyother treat
ment In nil Febrile affection* ■
Ist.— Economy of Time. — A* only one-seventh. ;
of the ordinary time Is required tboffbet a core.
Econom yof Money.— Ah it costs but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feeling— Ah it saves the
suffering of n long sickness and tile consequent troat
■ueut; the annoyance oi talcing nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation- and the pain of
long confinement; hot little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
‘Mb. — Economy of Thought. —As when
l.nowu, it will remove all dread anil anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly wli..a I
a doar friend is sick.
sth. — Economy of Health. —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
• object to bo followed by chronic disease.
tit h.—Economy of Life.— As the core is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, nil danger of a fatal
[mini nation.
Other reasons might be added, but those are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, bul will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed ‘o or have become reduced, corresponding of eourso
to the 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 idler
the attack, persons can scarcely rcalj/. i that they nod
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli y
wer i not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘-it was trifling
-a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—>that medicine had noeflect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, 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
I Ic individual lias witnessed many cases that lie can fully
realize tlie truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very tiitliug cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medieino, yet persons, though they have
i'Oen Unis successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expert that there wil cases occur wli re there is some
organic or iocal cause so great as to require particular
attention, or Ihuugh success ill in reducing the fever,
it wli! again rise us the influence of the “ Fluid'’ passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. Ii is to guard
against desapiaiiutmeut lit such cases Hint I have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have culled a “ synopsis.”
, Hen.arks on Fevers In Uenerah
On this subject I wish to tie fully understood. By the
rerra “fevers,” I comprehend nil febrile affections to
which the human frame Is subject, including siimll pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and ImbilH, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of terms or ty|ies;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that oi undue excitement in tlic circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or le. , unnatural fre
quency in tlie pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility. Ac.
Tr> show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
■ Ivniico, 1 quote from the eolobrafed I’rof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, hondou, whose work on the i'rirn i
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and conicquently stahdoi authority.
<n page BR4, lie says:—“Wo hoar coriliniiall.v, both in
and out of the profession, diil'eient species of fover spo

so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows jtxoll under
various forms, lam persuaded that the effect it; lbo
mind of all this sub-dlvirien, in bud and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that ran bo relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even Urn most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to tlie same cause.”
The above la a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would imprest on vour minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you.soil about a “name;” if you have
lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed,’ and you
iihll he well instead of any dlstinetcharorter being devel
oped, so os to be properly named by tlie most scientific.
Tills assertion is no l-vpothesis based on closet iqiecula
tions or visions of mind, but oil experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of coses
thy myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before the ‘• Fluid’ is given, either by
ueglect, or under some o 1 her treatment. I will ilescriue
as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in
all of the most prominent lovers, though the “ llules'’
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tlie sick.

neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any cqpversution be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet * all intents and purposes.
6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving i* us

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful Is a common doso. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much ns males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those of ton years of age frequently harp
taken full doses ; buts r a little guide, I have g.ven the
above tabic, with the remark that, as it general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
la) found agreeable iii all of its effects, tlie expectations
of the most sanguine realised, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in Long thus particular is, that
the full benefit of till) medicine may lie obtained, ami
not on account of any actual necessity of such st rict ob
servances.
tillinus or K< mittrlit Fever.
Uive a teasponfnl of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hour*, till the fever is evidently passing off ; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple eases of
lever, with such observances ns arc set forth in the
•■Mult>s.” But should there lie prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should he
attended to at ouce, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If m any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give n cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
ftrt portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fover ia very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, aud the patient is not particularly susceptible
to tlie influence of medicine—not easily operated on hv
medicine generally—a double doao, or two teuspoousfui
may he given at first witli advantage, and even lopeated I
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not boon softened. j
thus showing the medicine Ims taken effect.
Bathing tlie surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult oases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two toasp'Kmsful and repeat every two hours till
tlie pulse becomes more full and soft, then oulv a tea
spoonful. to he discontinued as the fever subside,. As
the bowels are generally confin ‘d, ami it is frequently
very difficult to got medicine to operate in tills disease,
no time should lie lost to get them open, give some active’
cathartic witli the “ Fluid” and repeat as may W neces
sary till it operates; enema* (Injections) uiay also tie
used to advantage; also, mustard to tho extn'mities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel ; also, cold
applications to tlie head. Quinine may be added to tlie
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship unit Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one chin. ter. differing
c. ainly in degree, being all of a low grade, tlie pulse
small ami wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
>"■ treatment Is concerned. In those low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
> lucratively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tlie common treatment, while with this Put a ,ew davs
will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately fol'ow any -'th-*r without detriment with
a teaspoonful of “Fluid” every two hours, till tlie Dulse
becomes fuller or latger ir. volume, then to be continued
nce in six or eight hours tC the fever entirely subsides.
In bad casts, from three to live grains each of quinine
aud tx’psicieui i Cay unite popper) or some topic and stimu
lant (seo auxiliaries) should bo added to each dose. The
bowels should bo kept gently open, and small portions
of some luquiuc should bo given occasionally, even
though thfe b-lwels slioulubh very loose. The patient
should be guslaiued. by nourishing and mu ilagcuouri
drinks—-such its aVe hi common uso in such case.-'.—
Where tlie skin is very dry, sponging the suriaco as di
rected in bilious fever, v.'iii lie ieund advantageous.
Tonics should be used during couv .iescouce, in all cues
wiiicti have become reduced.

Variola, Varioloid, Ritlreolu anil Seurla
liitn; or Small Pox, Varlololtl, Meades,
ami Scarlet .Fever,
As all ol these diseases are attended witli fever, which i
in fact U tlie must prominent symptom, tlie treatment
differs bue little from tliut of common fevers. Beuiembcr
never wait to learn tlie “name,” whether ills oue or the
other, or neither, us they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern tin 1 fever and there will he no
trouble; there w ill bo but tittle eruption even iu small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will be rut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running ils ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, tint a. 1 that I lioid most dear;
besides, on this subject, i have good authority; that of
l'rof. Watson previously quoted. lie says, page 874:
*• Vou may abate the force oi tlie eruptive lever, mid
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” litre is the admission that it may
lie done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, hut has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship, bee tlie account appended.
Uivo a tenspnuiilul or more, according hi tho urgency
in tlie case, witli a dose of sah.s or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until liie lever aub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but It should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tlie fever under control. When tlie throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may bo used, and tlie
surface bathed, ils thought advisable.
in one case, on tho ship Duchess d’Orleuns, tlie tongue
and faucus were so mm.ii swollen that the patient could
not swallow or apeak, aud he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on in.-: longue, drop by drop, till lie could t,wallow,
when i‘. v.as given iu tuuspoouful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take iiuur
ishmeut in about twelve hours by liie Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tile
best gargle in all such cases.
I’nerpi rnl or C'lil til,e<l Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous aud alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Filet .ic Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relit i ; no alarm need lie entertained, as tlie
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
]rt*ated ns long as the I’-Vcr couliuues. as in other cases.
The bowels ol com sc should lie attended 10.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, winch, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering, it
is to inform them of tho nappy 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
slid difficulties; ii must he tried to be appreciated.—
I Tii ill'll I menstruation will he relieved at once by a com
mon dose anil retiring. Itestlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold token at abdicate time, is cusfly relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of tlie most convenient anil
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, il not
tlie most so of any medicine known. lis effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie 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 south and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat
ment as much as possible, l give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control ii under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to Is- culled, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
w lien such i—ist, must lie removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
lie appropriate means, and these sohuld lie given while
giving tile “ Fluid,” and in connection witii it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, I).‘.sides no unnecessary
time will then he lost. As tlie \ Fluid” alone will sub
duo tile fever, i caff all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels aro costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
“ith diarrhu'u, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or iniliimmatiou, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or. perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tlie part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
(lie feet in hot water; if the lover is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
wdioie surface with water ut an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar ami water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief anil aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will lie no trou
ble; it tlie patient lias been reduced or ic much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of lever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach
to do any good : for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will tuswer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat ail the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, nnd then you will lie astonished at tlie case
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know w hat is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians arc usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood bv
all. i will name a tow of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
t'nt liui-t ic*.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, nntibiliuus, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatlrs.—Anything known to act on (lie 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
witii tlie “ Fluid” o'* while tlie system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—tho fourth, mandrake
root, nnd so on; each may take his choice and lie suc
cessful.
Tussles.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots aud bitter horbs. Done
set or thorougliwort is one of tho best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho
bowels. Linda num Mid other preparations of opium arc
used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
St tin iilain —Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; |
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa- j
ry in treating levers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Flui I is a bet'er •• dia
phoretic,*’ •• anodyne,” “diuretic,” -‘relaxant” and
••sedative” than known in tlie muff rut medico.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the

YV Dili if iIAVK A COMMON ORIGIN IN
Old
r [YllEhi; diseases are common td many localities of the
JL United Mates;’ but wherever they prevail, North,
boutli, F.ast or West, they all equally spring from the
saute miusmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is tlie same,they will all equally yield ton remedy
hat 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-
I sition of animal aud vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating in tlie atmosphere, causing disease tonll who
breathe it. in accordance with those unalieruble laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in tlie preparation before us, offered lo
the public,
The Natural Antlslotc to Malaria,
which neutralizes tlie poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
Tlie remedy is believed to bo entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use.
It will instantly check the ague iu persons who have
euth red for any length of nine, Irom one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will bo effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless sobsequvn
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility anil Sight Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other inede
cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may bo Banished from
every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may bo 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 to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of lliu CUKE in every part of
tho United States, its success has been so complete aud
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at llio date of its
introduct on, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all ihe resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
di.,rase*; and wliat was. still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
i Hipirical. have -bein', limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine. Mercury, SaliCinc, &c.
Flic effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, aud when sfirli remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, then- poisonous effects are superadded
to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On tli in account ague sufferers should he particularly
careful about using any 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 poteucy depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Piiblic Confidence,
Because of its
Hiugtilar and Entire Harmlessness,
The following certificate from om of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to ovei y Lott le :
New York, June 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Agile 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
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to tlie constitution.
“JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist,”
It so a stubborn fact, there Tore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to roiieve tho human family from
malarious diseases, hut to and unequally good work liy
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
Tlie 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 the oue
under consideration, if tlie medicine ho taken iu advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by tlie 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
the poison before it docs harm.
Eli 11 directions and advice us lo diet and habits cf life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each buttle.
It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to e'eansv the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it sicst re taken
or tho operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one cr more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also tho air waiieil across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degiec commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise ho
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho
words, ‘•Rhodes’ F'kver and Aoib Gere” blown in tho
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie
signature of tho proprietor. Tin .sc precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its sveokss u entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but
Worthy woman, who has not been fre e from Fever and
Ague a mouth at a time for the last twelve years, I sup
pled her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. Bim took iu all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, and as four months
ha-e now elapsed, there i no reason to doubt the perma
nency of the cure.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:— l have just sent
an oiler to A.nes H ifolliday for another half gross of
your Fever aud Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two liotties on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I 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 not obliged to
pay for it. and they were all satisfied. 1 had one ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the mail came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several
months since, and in spite of th different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my heal i .'grew worse until
1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. —
Since that time I have not liud a single chill, and am
now in tlie enjoyment of good health.

I remain truly yours,

Evi'leuce from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir —I cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergym m here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” lor some mouths without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and litis not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam sojne time without relief
until he got a bot tle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Y'ours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Piasolicltetl Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1865.
J. A. Rhodes —Pear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here fur 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. K. K., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Vour Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. YY. A. HAYLES.
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 in'.o every town and village
in tho United States, Canadas, he. Tlie eminent chem
ist. I)r. J. K.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It Is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague nr not, just as they please.
1 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 ou commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all. nnd it will be noticed that the letters
of which I publish ru h immense quantities nre always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
THc Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons. not a man woman or child in tlie United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Y'ellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from ttie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
it is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
w hose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious disease's, ulglit sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of Intemperance or dissipation.
