NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Pftptrtd toy N. W. Not, I*. D. keasons why it should bn used instead of any other treat ment lit all febrile affection*: I at.— Kconomy of Time.— Ah only one-seventh of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. 3d.->Kconomy of Money. —Ah it costs but one dollar. .‘ird.—Kconomy of Feeling.—Ah it Haven the suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in itH effects. 4tb.— Kconomy 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. sth.—Kconomy of Health.— As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to he followed by chronic disease. til li.— Kconomy of Life.—As the cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently re moving, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might be added, but these are decmud niiUoient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment oil the first attack, hut 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 rose at the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after ilie attack, persons can scarcely realise that they had open really much sick, and very naturally conclude thy wer.i not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have beep nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts •cl unlike the above follow the cure oi a common case an naturally as men think at all; and it is not until flic individual lets witnessed many eases that he can fully realists lue truth; anil even then he may concltide them all very billing cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have boon thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must „xpect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great us to require particular stii-ntioii, or though success ul in reducing the fever, it will agaiu rise os the influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cau<.„ may still exist, it is to guard against disappointment in suen cases that i have given and frequently refer to what 1 have ealluil a “synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers In Uenerab Oil this subject I wish to lie fully understood. Uy the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which I lie human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but us they arise by a great vurhsty of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development ami exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished hy the same general character istics—that ol undue excitement in thu circulatory and nervous systems—lnducing more or less unnatural fre quency In the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I sdvnueo, 1 quote from the eelebrafed Prof. T. Watson, id King's College, lam don, whose work on the “ Priori pies and Practice of Physic” Is it text Issik in ninny of . ur medical colleges, uinl consequently staiutardaulhority. On page 834, liosay*:—“ We hear continually, both in mid out of thu profession, different s|ieeies of fever spo ken of. Hy the public, Typhus Fever, Kruin Fever, llillmis Fever, Putrid Fever, lx>w Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full its particular: Mucous F'ever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Knterie, mid so forth. Now, admitting Hint fever shows itself under various forms, I aui peruddod that the effect upon the mind of all this suledivision, is Imd 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, Unit can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about u “ name;” if you have lever, treat It at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well lustead of any ilistiuctcliarncter being devel oped, so ns to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion Is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, lint on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thoiisunds of cases (by luysvlf ami others) under a great variety of clr euiustaucos, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, Mid treat at once without regard to name, ami rest assured you will soon be freed from ul! dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. Hut, os coses may have lie couie developed before the ‘■ Fluid” is given, either hy neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe tis briefly as possible tile primer course to lie pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Hules” mid “ synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Hales important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should lie given in throe or four times its own quantity of water, and may lie sweetened or not at pleasure. fid. Patients must lie free from all currents of air, though there should always he free ventilation in the ick room,) nor attempt to go about wlillo under its in fluence. .Id. It must lie continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it liegius to rise again, should such tie the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must tie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, road or takeuny exercise whatever, till tlieir own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should auy conversation bo allowed in tlieir hearing, in . which they may feel more or loss interested, but be left quiet to all iuteutsand purposes. fith. Fluids should bu allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires und no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties muy prefer or patients desire. Oth. Should patients ex|ierience any oppression or faintness while ill the lyiug posture, so os to occasion a i ostlessness after 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 little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face mid breast may he Imllied in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of oue year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under fi years, “ fi to 15 “ “ “ fi “ 5 “ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teasgiooiiful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonihl is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, us a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children —those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for u little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, ns n general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. Ity observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations or the most sanguine realized, aud niauy perfectly astonished. My object in belug thus particular is, tlnit the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and not on accouut of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Ullloiis or It cm It tent Fever. Hive a teusjioiiful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off'; this constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the •* Itules.” But should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they slioufd he attended to at once, and while giving Ilie “Fluid.” Moo Synopsis. If iu any case the bowels are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartk’ (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must be opeued or tiie fevor may rise again. Whore the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, aud the patient is not particularly susceptible in the Influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousl'ul may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened, thus s! wing the medicine lias taken effect. Bathing the surface witli water at an agreeable tsui|ierature, the suliue wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in takiug effect. Congestive Fever. Hive two teospoonsfnl and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea snoouful, to be discontinued as the fever subside). As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate In this disease, ne time should he lost to get them o|a)n, give some active’ cathartic with the “Fluid” aud repeat as may lie neees sury till it operates; enemas (Injections) may also lie used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may la- added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. ■ See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, witli a general great depression, there is n practical uso in separating them—at least so far as mv treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but n few days will lv necessary at longest to establish permanent convalescence. •he treatment should lie commenced—which mav (immediately follow any other without detriment witli a teaspoonful of >• Fluid” every two hours, till the mdse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued nee in six or eight hours till the fover entirely subsides. In bad cases, from three to tivo grains each of quinine aud capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (Bee auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The bowels should be kept gently open, aud small portions of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even though the bowels should lie very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagcuous drinks—such as are in common use in such coses.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases which hove become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give a teaapoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours, witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bonesot; or half the quantity may ho given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should ho given worm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of tile kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola ami Scarla tinal or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Ncarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, tho treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Itemember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is oue or the other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; goveru the lever and there will be no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in 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 1 direct, will be cut ilu/rt; atteiided with lint little erup tion; little or no pilling, und that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. Un this I will stake hot only my reputation, but a;l that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of I’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 374: “ You may abate tin, force of tiie eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission mat it may he done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. Sec the account appended. (five a teaspoonful or more, uccording to tiie urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tiie ordinary gargles may lie used, and tiie surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one cose, on the ship Duchess d’Orleuus, the tongue und faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, und lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when ii was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tiie swelling of the throat was reduced so os to enable him to take nour ishment in alsiut twelve hours by the Fluid alone. — Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous anil ulariiiing malady to which tiie mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should bu re pealeii us long as tiie fover continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection witli this subject, 1 cannot refruin from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering. It is to inform them of the huppy effect of tiie Fluid in many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing und soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.— I’ainful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com mon dose andretiring. Kestlessuess,nervous irritability, ora cold taken at u delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of tiie most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not tiie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tiie whole system, removing all excitability uud iritability of the nervous us well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep liko opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that oue can sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and oondcuse the treat ment us much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As tiie Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may lie or ought to lie called, it should be giveu wherever or whenever it existH; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when sucti exist, must be removed iu order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur ill any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soiiuld be given while giving tiie “ Fluid,” and in connection witli it, when occasion requires, us they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then lie lost. As the *,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 cull all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) witli the first dose, or soon after, uud should it fail to operate iu due time, repeat the dose; if attended witli diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for that complaint, thougli if caused by irritability, tho “Fluid” will hooii relieve that condition; if sevure local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter lieyhs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tho part; if violent paiu in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tho feet in hot water; if tiie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tiie whole surface with water at un agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi cine in taking effect, after which there will bo no trou ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient Ims become re duced; if there is nausea aud vomitiug, that, must be allayed before uiiy medicine will remain on 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 tiie stomach has settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; lu short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other cireumstunces, giving the “ Fluid” at the Hume time as directed, und success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, ami thru you will lie astonished ut tiie ease witli which you can control nil febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Harries may feel ut a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about w liat is used. I have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cat Hurt its.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, untibiliuus, Ac.; anything known to be good for suck purposes. llepwtlcs.—Anything kuown to act on the liver particularly, portul circulation und accretions generally. Any of tiie articles depended on by ilie different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu tluencc. Ami one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliylliu—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take liis choice and be suc cessful. Tonies. —Articles that give toue or strength, such us quinine, various bul ks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone sex or thoroughwort is oue of the best used in fevers. Astringents. —Such as check the action of the bow els. Laudanum aud other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. Ntimnlnnts. —Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tiie essences tire all more or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than kuowu in the materia medico. 1 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 Packet ship Duchess D'Orlrnns. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz— We took )Mssage oil the tmeketship Duchess d’Orlcaiu Capt Hutton, then lying In the port of Havre, France’ ami bound for New York. She sailed oil the i)th of Aui gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tiie snuiil pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated hy the physician in charge, Dr. N. IV. Seat, with anew remedy of liis own. which Tie calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there wero about eighty coses of small pox, some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From wliat we saw during said passage, We ore fullv conviucod that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, iiossesses inestimable virtues.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers: but us the cause is the sume, they will all equally yield to u remedy that is competent to overcome or remove tiiut cause. Hy the laws of .Nature, every principle has 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 sition of aiiimiU and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son flouting in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe it. in accordance witli those unalterable laws governing tiie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is iu tho preparation before us, offered to tho public, ‘The Natural Antidote to Malurla, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in tiie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected hy it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. Tiie remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known to any hut tiie proprietor, who distinctly claims tiie following extraordinary results from its use: it will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from oue day to tweuty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will he effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon the puison iu tiie system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, und when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of Geuerai Debility und Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode dries. The patient at once begins to reever appetite aud strength, aud continues to improve until restored to ported health. By its use Fever and Ague uisy be banished from every family and class iu tiie community; farmers, me chanics, und all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as u 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 Ilie United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at tiie date of its introduction, they scemod 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 diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their pois .nous effects are superodded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using auy secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tiie milkers of them uniformly assert they may be taken witli perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that tlieir potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the lieinedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Becaiise of its Singular and Kntire Ilarinlessness, The following certificate from on • of the most celebrated chemists in tiie United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eve, y bottle: New Yokk, June 11, 1555. “1 have inside a chemical examination of Rhodes’ F’ever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found u particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to and > an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable us a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance. This is owing to ilie diseases being produced by oue un J the same cause, and therefore all, both residents aud travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tiie poison already lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as n preventive, and so destroy thepoisou before it does harm. Full directions and advice us to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often le found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or nntlbilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and froo the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costivcuess, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, jnmr the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,Land place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wailed across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or [xiisou contained in tile apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise he resorted to when very young infants arc exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and A cue Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tiie medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

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 Isthniu if Panama, several mouths since, and in spite of th - different remedies and treatment 1 adopted, my lieul i .-grew worse until 1 commenced the use of your F’ever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Sir. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. Oue young lady in the tamily of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got n bottle of the Cure and has not bad a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a PUysician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A.

A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by ouly one bottle, aud 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 os possible inio every town and village in tlio United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. 11. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the F’ever and Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers arc those who a year ago were reluctant even to take tlio Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will ho noticed that the letters of which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and lute dates—altogether they would more tlmn fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tiie 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 soa sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of F'ever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow F'ever, or any form of disease arising from the 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 whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility orany kind of intemperance or dissipation.
