NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, ! Prepared by N. W. Scat, M. B. Reasons why it should be useil instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affeotious : 1 at.—-Economy of only o tie-seventh of the ordinary time ia required to effect a cure. td—Kconomy of filmicy•—As it costa but one dollar. 3rd. — Economy of Feeling— An it saves the •uttering of a lung sickness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long coniineiuent; but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in Its effects. 4th. —Economy of Thought. —As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a deaririend is sick. sth. — Economy of Health. —As the system is not reduced, and cousoqueutly racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic 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 be added, but these are deemed sulHcteiit to satisfy all classes aud persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons ar more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment ou the lirst attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course *o the nature of the ease at tiie time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual aud perm". uout relief, in an ordinary cases, when used soon after tile athe k, persons can scarcely realize that they bail been really much sick, and very naturally conclude ill y wen not attacked with fever, aud if so, ‘-it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could iiavo been nothing of consequence—it would have passed of) with out anything—that medicine bad no effect.” 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; aud it is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully realise the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very lulling cas- a which would have readily yielded to any simple uied. .ae, yet persons, though they have bi-eii thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur wh re there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success ui in reducing the fever, It will again rise as tiie influence of the “Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointmeut 111 slum cases tiiat 1 have given and frequently refer to wliat I have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks oix Fevers t General* On tills subject I wish to he fully understood. By the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including siiiall pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of crises, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that, ol undue excitement in tiie circulatory and nervous systems —inducing mure or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tiie skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone In the opinion X advance, 1 quote from tiie celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, Condon, whose work on tiie “ I'rinci pies and Fraction of I’hysic” is u text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. •tn page 8114, he says“ We hear continually, both in and out of tne profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By tiie public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Lew Fever, .Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic, writers are to the full as particular: Mucous F'ever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Euteric, and so forth. Now, uduiitting that fever allows Itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tiie mind of all this sub-division, is laid and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no lino of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They rim insensibly into each other, •von the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, me wortliy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minus tiie folly of hunting up or troubling youiself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distiui tcharaotcr living devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based ou closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of tiie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstaiicos, seasons and climates, lieur this m uilnd, and treat at unco without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous levers. But as cases may have be come developed before the “Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under Home other treatment, I will describe ’ as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Itules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Kulet important to be observed in all easel in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, uml may ho sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of air, (though there should always bo free ventilation in tiie sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. .’ld. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such bo the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, rernl or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of ull extra neous influences, induce them to rist or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their lu-uring, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids should lie allowed, while giving it us 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 desire. tilli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness alter the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a littie spirit, ginger, or some othor stimulant; or the face and breast may lie bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

Alt persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoouful is a common dose. Old iiorsone do not require as much as young, or those in tiie prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as milch as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of ago frequently having taken full doses; hut 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 the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished, .dy object in being tints particular is, that tiie full beueflt of the medicine may he obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent Fever. Give a teuspoul'ul of “ Fluid” (gee rule Ist) once in two hours, till the freer is evidently passing off: this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the •• Itulos.” But should there be prominent local symp toms, or knowu local existing causes, they shoal'd be attended to at once, and while giving the *• Fluid. Sec Synopsis. lfiu any case the bowels are particularly constipated or eon lined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the firs! portion; they must bo opened or the fever may rise agaiu. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not |>ar(ieuiarly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by mediciuo generally—a double dose, or ‘two traapoonsful may be g.veu at iirst with advantage, and even repeated in two hours —if It—the pulse—lms not been tufUnnl, thus showing the meiliciue has taken effect. bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the aiiline wash, vinegar or spirits atm water, in those difficult cases, will afford relief and aid tlie medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Uive two teasp xmsl'ul and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soil, then only a tea spoonful, to he discontinued as the fever subside I. As the Imwels aro generally eonflnod, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no tinio should bo lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat ns tmty be neces sary till It operates: cueiuas (injections) may also be us-d to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities or friction (rubl. ng) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may he added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable, flee Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship aixl Putrid or Spoiled Fever. As those ftver* are all of one character, differing mainly is degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so tar as my treatment is concerned. In those low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will ho required’ still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this hut a few days wdl be necessary at longest to establish a permanent cunvAlenc^nof*. The treatment should be commenced-whieh may Immediately follow any other without detriment—wit? atcaspoonft, of ‘‘riuld” every two hours, till the pul* b nro7r.w ’ “ ,n “flu"**, then to he continued nee in six or t.ght hour* till the fever entirely subsides. In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine ami capsicum (Cayenne popper) orsomo tonic ami stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. J lie bowels should tos kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even though tiie bowels should lie .cry loose. The patient should he sustained by nourishing aud muulagenous drinks sucli as are ir. common use in such cases.— Where tile skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected iu 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 a teuspoouful of the -‘Fluid’’ every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction ol boueset; or half the quantity may be given every hour tnl relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.

Variola, Varioloid, Kubeola and Scarla ilna; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet. Fever. As all of the: < diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from tiiat of common fevers. Bcuicmber never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they ull commence wilts J'ever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will Us but little eruption even in siiiull pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will beMgarded witli ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, tiiat small |s,x, if treated us 1 direct, will be. cut short ; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not olily my reputation, but a 1 tiiat I bold most dear ; insides, ou tliis subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874; “ Vou may abate tiie force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number oj the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tiie admission inat it may lie done, i nave nut only proven it may be, Imt has been done in riuuierous cases tiiat occurred on board ship. See the account appended. (Jive a teuspoouful or more, according to tiie urgency of tiie case, witli a dose of salts or castor oil; repent tiie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides —though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fevvi under control. When the throat is affected, any of tiie ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bullied, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’tjrleans, the tongue uml faucus were su much swollen tiiat the patient could not swallow or Hpcuk. and he was cured by dropping tiie Fluid on bis tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when il was given ill teaspoouful doses every hour, till ull ulurmiug symptoms disappeared. Tiie swelling of tiie throat woe reduced so us to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone. — Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the le st gargle, in all such cases. Puerperal ox- Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tiie mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid w ith sucli reudiuees, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire anil per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, us tiie Fluid will arrest it in a short time. II should be re peated as mug ns the f-ver continues, as iu other cases. The bowels of course should lie attended to. In connection with tills subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, winch, if regarded by the lauies, will save tlieni mucli pain and suffering. It is to infurm them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing und soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; il must Iu: tried to lie appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved tit once by a com mon dose and retiring. BestlcHsuess. nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one of tliu mast convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Jl.s effect is uniform, relaxing tiie whole system, removing all excitability und iritability of the nervous os well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so tiiat one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use iu so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tiie treat ment us much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all eases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue aud control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to he called, it should bo given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control nil organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent care. When sucli indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, und these soliuld be given while giving tlio “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then luoro readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will suli duo the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlio bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tiie lirst dose, or soon alter, aud should it ff.il to operate in due time, repeat tire dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “ Fluid” will soon relieve tiiat condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tlio head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if tlio fever is very high, skin dry und hot, with 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 and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics aud stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu 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 on the stomach to do any good ; fer this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” ami a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tlio prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tiie “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crow u your efforts; indeed,you cannot realize it till vou have seen, aud then you will lie astonished at tiie ease with 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. I have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of tlio different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cal hurtles.—Articles that purge or operate on tlio bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, ami many pills, nutiblliuus, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. He pa tics.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, |w>rUl circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for tills purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while tlio system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tiie third, podopliyllin—the fourth, maudrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such us quinine, vnri -lis barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bolu ses or < lioronghwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents. —Such as check the action of the bowels, laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. Stimulants. —Articles tl.at raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the host; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry iu treating fevers, though nianv others are generally used, hut tiie Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “ relaxant” and “sedative” than known in the materia meilica. I shall not tax the reader witli a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tiie results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of snot-ess, that on the Parketshtp Unchess ll'Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We. the undersigned, certify to the following viz— We took passage on the packetshlp Duchess d’O. leans Cap* Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’ and bound for New York.

Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure; Ou Antidote to Malaria; FOB THIJ PREVENTION AND CURE Os Fever aud Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and -tie r Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp toms ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship und Jail Fever, General Debility, Night Sweats, aud all other tonus of disease WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN MAXiAILIA OIL MIASffIA. rjUIKHK diseases are common to many localities of the X United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, J.ast or West, they uli equally spring from tlio same miasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu uge, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; Imt ns tiie cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy tiiat 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 iu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, [stagnant water, decompo sition of uiiiinal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character und effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, tiiere is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, The Nut uml Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes tiie poison whenever it comes in con tact w itli it, even In tiie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, und thus restores and preserves health. ‘J lie remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but tlio proprietor, who distinctly claims the follow ing extraordinary results from its use : It Will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered tor any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should milk” its use again necessary, in its operation upon tiie poison in the system, it will •immediately relieve ail tiie distressing symptoms of bil ious nr O uo dißuufles, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the a “ssion of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow tiie administration of other liiede tines. ‘J ilt patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever aud Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be 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 the CURE in every part of the United States, its Success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved tlrese assertions iu favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at (he date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of Hie most candid minds, because all ilie resources of science had been taxed iu vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat was still worse .dr ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, (quinine, Mercury, Salfcinc, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the diseaso they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their puis nous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On 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 w ith 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 its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessncss, The iollowing certificate from on of tiie most celebrated chemists ill tiie United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evei y bottle: New York, June 11, 1865. “I have made a chemic al examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition tiiat would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES li. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It it a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tiie human family from malarious di. eases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which dohurio. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. Tiiis is owing to tiie diseases being produced by one and tiie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of tiiis preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itseif in a violent attack. Take tiie Cure us a preventive, und so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directious and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede tiiis medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tlio very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleause the stomach ami free the biliary passages. Remember tiiat wliero this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken 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 place them iu sleeping rooms; for the 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 deg.ee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tiie Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which tiiis medicine is nut up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fevep. and Ache Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tlio medicine, (tiie copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions aro taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely ui-on its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. Theso will lie considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by file proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. I, For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1856. ly Druggists.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:— l have just sent an order to Ames & Holliday for another half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure. Ithossold like” Hot Cakes,” and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it hits sold, is because when 1 huvo heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and telil them to try it, and If it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied.

Truly yours, LATUROP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Haviug been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it lias been to me. I was first attacked by drills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of tli i different remedies and treatment I adopted, my lieal t j grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever und Ague Cure.— Since that time l have not had a single chili, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. YVishing y jur mtdicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, .kept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got il 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 abottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Y'oui-s trulv, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticf.i.lo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1856. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir— l have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, nnd can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours. ‘ ‘ YV. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. K. 11., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Agin* Cure lias overcome all prejudices l>y its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A.IIAYLES. 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 the United States, Canadas. &c. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. 11. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per foct innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just us 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 lie realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters of w hich 1 publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than everatteuded any other Ague Remedy. Tire 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 tho warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Hiliotts or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect utitiiintr. 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 l>y Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
