NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, |
Prepared by N. W. beat, M. D.
Kcmiona why it should be used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affection* :
Ul.-F.roiioiuy of Time. —A* only one-seventh
of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
Bd.—Economy of Money,—As it Cost* but one
dollar.
;ird.-Economy of Feeling.--Ah It naves the
suffering of a l"ng inclines* cud the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and tho pain of
long confinement; but little ot the fluid being n-cessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4-tb.—Economy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly While
a dear friend is sick.
ftth.— Economy of Health. —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to lie followed by chronic disease.
Oth.—Economy of fsife. —As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in acorres|iondlng degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
Tho above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on tiie first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to the nature of the case at the time it is lirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, In all ordinary oases, when used Siam after
the attack, persons i-au scarcely realize that they had
been really much sl ‘k, anil very naturally conclude th y
wore not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of censequence—ft would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that though.*
c i unlike tho shove follow the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
tile hi lividiml has witnessed many sates that be tan fully
realize tliotiuih; and even then lie may conclude them
ill ‘.ury tiltling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple mediciue, yet persons, though they have
been thus st. cos-:ul in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local rauee so great os to require particular
attention, or though success ul in reducing the fever,
it trill again rio- us the Influence of tiie “Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard
Against disappointment in much canoe that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have culled a ‘■synopsis.”
Remark.* on Fevers In General*
Ou tliis subject 1 wish to be fully understood, ily the
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile Affections to
which the human fri me is subject. Including small pox
auil other eruptive lovers; but as they a* iso by a great
variety of < lusts, and ill quite dissimilar constitutiun*
lUd dibits, tli y of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety ot forms or types;
.i et oil arc distinguished by the same general character
istics—Unit o. undue excitement in tiie circulatory and
nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre
uulicy In the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To snow that I am not wholly alone in tiie opinion I
advance, I quote from tiie celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
ot King s College, London, whose work on the “ I'rinci
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our niodical colleges, and consequently standurd authority.
lin Inge Slit, he says“ Wo hear continually, both iu
and out of the profession, fferent species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. Aud systematic writers urc to the full as particular;
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tiie
mind of till this sub-division, is bail anil hurtful, it
encourages a dm, osltlou, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
linu of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They run Insensibly into each
oilier, even the most dissimilar of them, and me often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great, fact, oue worthy of remembrance
and I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling youisolf ulaiut a “name.;” if you have
lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, aud you
Mill be well instead of any distiuetchiiracter being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by tiie most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula
tions or visions of miml, but on experience at tho bed
side of tiie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself anil others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seusons mid climates. Bear tiiis in mind,
and treat at ouce without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers, liut as coses limy have bo
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
nil of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Uules”
end “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for ail those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Hula important to be observed in all ease* in winy the
Negative Klectric fluid.
Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2th Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation in tho
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its iu-
Uuenoe.
3d. It must lie continued whenever tiie fever subsides,
or is evideutly passing off’; to be resumed when it
begin* to rise again, should aucli be tiie ease under any
circumstances.
4th. When tho fever begins to subside, patients must
be lefi perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
uot be questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, road or take any exercise whatever,
till tiieir own natural Jetting*, independent of all oxti..-
neous influences, iniiuce them to rise or speak ; nor
should ally conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
Oth. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desiro.
Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so its to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should hat e a little
wine, toddy, Camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tiie face and
breast may be lathed in cold water; cither of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 *> xa to 30
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ 3O to 60
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoouful.
All persous over fifteen considered as adult*, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persous do not
require as much as young, or thoso iu the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much ns males.
There Uno particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide. 1 have given tiie
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing'he above directions, the medicine w ill
bo found agreeable in all of its effects, tiie expectations
id tiie most sanguine realized, nud mauy perfectly
astonished. My qlyect iu lieing thus particular is, that
the full benefit of tho mediciue muy be obtained, and
uot on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
BUtoua or ltomlltcnt I>vr.
Wive ft tea* (ion Ini of “ Fluid” (aeo rnl Ist) once iu
two hours, till tlm fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in nil slmplo cases of
fever, with such observance* ns are set forth iu the
“ Hulos.” But should there l)e prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing ranees, they should lie
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
Soc Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or continod, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Whore the fever is very high, prtlse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the inti mure es medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoouaful
cany be given at first with advantage,and even repeated
in t-vo hours—ls It—the pulse—has not been iafttnrd,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
11.,thing ,( ie surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and nid
the medicine much In taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Clive two tenspoonsfui and repeat every two hours till
the ptlse become* more full and soft, then oulv a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subsidei. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to gel moliriue to operate in this disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeal as may be neces
sary till It operates; enemas (Injections'! may also lie
used to advenlage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
fiction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” If thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship nntl Putrtil
or Spotted Fever.
A* those fevers are all of one character, differing
uiaiuly In degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
mall and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In those low fevers, when
fully developed, a l ittl- patience will lie icquirtxl; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, wb :, a with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
Thu treatment should ‘ j commenced—which inev
immediately follow any other without detriment—w ith
a teaapoonful of •• Fluid” every two hears, till the pulse
i , ot . u 'K rtr in volume, then to Ik continued
nee In stior eight hours till the fever entirely subside*
Iu bad eases, from three to live grains each of quinine I
and capsicum (Cayenne pepi>er) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) shouid he added to each dose. Tiie .
bowel* should be kept gently open, and small portions ;
of some hepatic Nhould l)e given occasionally, even ,
though the bowels should be very loose, the patient
should be sustained by nourishing aud mucilagenous j
drinks—such as are in common use in such casus.— !
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surlace as di- I
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give n teaspoouful of tiie “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wino-glmisftil of a strong decection of bonevet; or
half the quantity may bo given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The bonsset tea should begi.en warm till tiie Tin at
symptoms are allayed, or the ;siliciit is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard piaster, or something ol
the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, ltubeola and Scarla
tinal or timail Pox, Varioloid, Alcasles,
and Scarlet Fever,
As ail ot these diseases ure attended with level, which
iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs bue little from that of common fevers. Keninmber
never wait to learn the •‘name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with Jeter, but
treat it at once; govern tho fever mid there will be no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, uud doubtless
will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
Ixildly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated os
I direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, anu that there is no nspsssUy of
Its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but a.i that 1 bold most dear;
ts'.si.h-H. ou this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page bis:
“Von may abuiu tiie force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number nj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tout it may
be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done iu numerous eases that occurred ou board
ship, bee tiie account appended.
(live a teaspoouful or more, according to tiie urgency
oi’ the case, with a dose of cults or casto: oil; rejient tiie
Fluid mire in two hours il necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is geiieru ly sufficient;
but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tiie fever unu< r control. When the throat is affected,
any of tiie ordinary gargles may bo used, uud tiie
surface bathed, us thought advisable.
In one case, on tiie slop Duchess d’Urltans, I lie tongue
and faueiin weie so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, und lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid ou ilia tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
wlicu it was given iu teaspoouful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tiie swelling of
the throat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour
ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wei the tliront frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle iu all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tho
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
tt-Hspooiiful, almost invariably giving entire aud per
manent relief; no alarm need be euterluiued, as tile
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
pouted as long as the fever continues, as in other eases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
in connection witli tins subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few generul remarks, which, if regarded by
tiie ladies, will save them much pain und suffering. It
is to inform them of tho happy effect e s the Fluid in
many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and liiffi'ulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved ai ouee by a com
mon dose ami retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or u cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of tiie nervous as well ns tho circulatory,
it will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth uud
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases.
Hynopsls.
To avoid constant repetition, aud condense the treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tiie Negutivo Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
r.ame it may Nor ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effoct a
permanent cure.
When sueli indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while
giving 'lie “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, a* they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will t hen be lost As the % Fluid” alone w ill sub
due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended
“■ilb diarrluea, give something known to be good for
that, complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
paid or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, pi.haps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, icu water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hut water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great Buffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at au agreeable temperature;
“tiie saline wash,” vinegar nud water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi
cine in taking effect, liter which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give touics and stimulants, particularly In low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will 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 the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as yon would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, aud success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
Imve Been, and then you will bo astonished at tho ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries,
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant bv
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to bo fully understood by
all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz;—
Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such a. castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, aud many pills, untibiLous, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Ilepattcs.—Anything known to act ou the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the - Fluid” or while the system is under its iu
ttuence. And one may choose calomel— auotlior, blue
mass—the third, podophylliu—tho fourth, mandrake
root, ami so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
so: or thoroilghwort is one of the best used iu fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, mauy mixtures, not properly aetriugent*
which havb the effect.
Siimu lmt *.-Articles that raise or exci'o the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less Stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though mauy others are generally
used, but the Negative Klectric Fluid is a bet'er ■• dia
phoretic,” “anodyne.” “diuretic,” “relaxant” aud
“ sedative” than known in the mob Ha >. i.lic• .
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, an.l will
only refer to oue instance of success, that on the

WHICH HAVE A COMMON OKIOIN IN
MAIiAHIA OTT MIASMA.
fl'llESE diseases are common to many localities of the
J. United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, Lust or West, they all equally spring from tho
same miasmai cause. The great variety of symptoms and
terms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but u* tiie
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove tluit cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. Ail Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, (stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lauds, is the same iu character and effect: is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to II who
breathe It. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is In Die preparation before us, offered to
tbe pub'ic,
Tiie Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it conies in con
tact wiili it, even in the open air, and when taken Inter
nally completely purifies the system affected bj it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to bo entirely new, and un
known to any but tiie proprietor, who distinctly claims
tiie followingcxtraordi:i..i , y results from Its use :
It will instantly chock the ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of lime, from one day to twenty
years, amt by continuing its use, according to Hie direc
tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
) n its operation upon llie poison iu the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when tbe disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility und Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
cities. The patient at ouce begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Finer and Ague may he banished from
every family and class In tho community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pur sue their respective avocations iu 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 the CURE in every part of
the United States, its success has been so complete und
unvarying as to have fully proved tin su assertions iu
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were mado, attire date of its
iiitroduet on, they seemed incredible to muuy, even of
the most candid minds, because all llie resources of
science had been taxed iu vain to subdue ague or bill* .s
diseases; and alia! \as still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsen.c. Quinine, Mercury, Eaiicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when sueli remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief,,their pels nous effects .ire superadded
to the poor sufferer’s fiist complaint.
Ou this account ague sufferers should be 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 potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is uot only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Wortlxy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular ami Entire Harmlessness,
The .ollowiiig certificate from oil. of the most celebrated
chemists m tue United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eveny bottle:
New York, June 11, 1856.
“1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, .Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of i iilier in it, nor have J found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CIIILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It i- a stubborn foot, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the liumau family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any btiliolul ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, tliun it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed us the one
under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents ami
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wail for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itselt in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so itastroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished r hysiciun long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany ouch bottle.
it will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or anti bilious purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate doso of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to c.cause the stomach
and free tho biliary p-stages. Remember iliat where
this is necessary, or there is custivoness, it most retaken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates, and placo them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor vising from the medicine,
and also the air waited across, or circulated over tho
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy,to a degieo commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tbe Cure should likewise be
resorted to when vary young Infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoi e Core” blown in tho
glues, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tho
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of tho proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced aud used. These
will bo considered sufficient.

of Sar-aparillas, Pills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that er>

for publication, is to induce the public, or at leaf t those
who are afflicted, to n<e oue tlmt contains articles of
Neal Use iu faint’ tuiry Disease*, ium conscious that in
so doing. 1 am acting most unprolossionally, nnd deroga
toi ily to tiie interests of Midicol Science and the regular
I'lHctiUouors of Mediciue. 1 refer to VYondsMui’s Cherry
iixpectoraut, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

‘This preparation has attained a wide eclebritv from
the universal success which has attended Its use. For
cough*, colds, aud In fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping llie digestive powers ill proper tone.
Remember that this i* the only Cough Medicine that
has stood tbe test of tbe medical fraternity, it is sanc
tioned by. approved of, nud recoin mended by tbe leading
Physicians of N< w York city. Every bottle ‘is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran

gee what the President of tho Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Blaiaria:
St. Louis. Mo., Nov. 10, 1805.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. It. Chilton,
of New York city, in favor of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
cury nor Strychnine, uud having received numerous ape
plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
lot the medicine. Since then I have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, aud lo whom 1 cau refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to he all that
the proprietor represents.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—"ear Sir;—l have just sent
| an order to Ames & Halliday for another hall gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure, lthussold like” HotCakcs,”
aud I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I have heard of a ease of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and told them to try
it, anil if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had oue ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, hut the man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure iu assuring you of
the cenefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Istlinni if Panama, several
months since, and in spite of tit ■ different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my heal i.grew worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment ofgood health.
Wishing ytnr midicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., uhio, Sept. 26, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the iamily of a elergym iu here has been taking an
“AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

Louisville No. 11, C. R. It., Ga., Jan. 1, 1850.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, ami given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who bus been fully cured by onlv one bottle, and de
sired ihe to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every Dottle of tho CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible in'.o every town and village
in the United Slates, Canadas, Ac. The cinineut chem
ist. Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
I can also say I hat 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
claim! and pretensions could not be realised.’ Now they
endorse them all. and it will be noticed that tho letters
of which ] publish su h immense quantities are always
now and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, ami prove tho fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie CrownlngGlory
of the Cime is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use os a preventive. Thus protected jjy
using a bottle or two During ilio warm and sickly sea
sons. not a man woman or child in the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever urn! Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or auy form of disease arising
fkom the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tho
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as 1. .: stored ive, giving new life and strength to ull
who- - const 1 ’ ‘!i n- hevo been shattered or .ver.kened by

step backward” its progress is onward and upward to the
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor,and
by the members of the Society, that the Planter.’ aid
