NEGATIVE EIiECTSIC FLUID, I
Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. I>.
Reason* why it should l*c used instead ot any other treat
ment In all Kfbrtle affections:
1 at— Economy of Time.—As only one-seventh
of the ordinary lime is required to effect a cure.
2 <t.—Economy of Moisey.—As it costa but oue
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feeling.— As it saves the
suffering of a tong sickness and the consequent treat
ment; tne annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; hot little of the fluid being necessary,
auii 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 dear friend is sick.
,>tll.—Economy of Health. —As thu system
is rot reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
fti h.—Economy of Life. —As the cure iseffected
before and wdthout reducing tho patient, consequently
removing, in a correspond mg degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might bo added, hut these are d“cmed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons iu all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are moro particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cnees which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of courso
to the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all erdinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much siek, and very naturally conclude th y
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
notuiugof ssasequelics —it would have passed off with
out anything —that medicine had übeffoct.” The general
impression on the subject of lover is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above toliow tint cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all: and it is not until
the iu dividual has witnessed many cases that he call fully
realize the truth; am l even then be may conclude them
all very hitting cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
lie n lints successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will casus ocoui where there is some
organic or local cause so great us to require particular
attention, or thong*, success ul ill reducing the fever,
■l will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes
oil. as thu exciting cause may still exist. 11 is to guard
agaiust disapiiointiueut ir sum canes that 1 have given
uud frequently refer to what 1 have cuiled a “ synopsis.”
Kemarks on Fevers In General.
On this subject T wish to be fully understood. By the
term “levels.” 1 coinprehoud all febrile nffections to
which the human frame is subject, including email pox
sud otter eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
id habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or typos;
yet all are distinguished hy the same general charaeter
ifhes—that oi undue excitement In the circulatory and
nervous systems —luducintr more or less iiniiatuinl iro
qne-icy In the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tho skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that lam not holly alone In the opiuion 1
ad''ttioe, I quote from the eelehrafed i'rof. T. Watson,
nf King's College, hondou, whose work on tho “ I’rlnel
pies nnd Practice of Physi .” is a text book in tunny of
our medical colleges, and counequontly itondardauthority.
iin p ige £l4, he says;—“We hoar cciiiinuaMv, both in
and out of the profession, different species of lover qto
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
liiJtous fever, 1 ‘rid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever,
■Vo. And systematiu writers are to tho full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Knteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that thu effect upon the
mind of ail thin sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encourages u disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
In• • of genuine distiucthm between continued fevers,
that can bo 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
and I would im/rreu on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you.self about a “name;” if you have
lever, treat it at once an hereafter directed, and you
nd he. writ instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to he properly named hy the most seientifle.
i llls assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions o"’ mind, hut on experience lit the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by luyself and others) under a great variety of cir
• uiustuncos, seasons and climates. Bear this iu mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon he freed from nil dread of liuge--
iilg and dangerous fevers. But as coses may have iie
i on., i*. .eloped before the “ Fluid” is given, either hy
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible ihe proper course to be pursued in
idl of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.
li'ulee important to hr observed in all vases in using the.
Negative Kiectric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents ot air,
ithough there should always he free ventilation iu the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
Sd. it must bo continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently’ passing off; to be resumed when il
begins to rise again, should such he tho case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
he left perfectly quiet; freo from all excitement; shouh.
not ho questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exerciHu whatevei.
till their mvn natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation he allowed ill their hearing, ill
which they may feel mere or less interested, hut bo loft
quid to all luteutsand purposes.
sth. Fluids should he allowed, while givlug it as
plentifully, and us lung as the patient desires and no
lunger; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drluks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
ootd or worm ns parties may prefer or patients desire.
Dili. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while ill the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness alter tho fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
-piii’lt. ginger. >r some other stimulant ; or the face and
breast may bo bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 ami under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ .12“ 6 “ l2 to 30 “
“ “ & lO “ <‘ 20 to 60
“ “ 8 “• 16 half to a teaspoonful
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life:
nor females, a- a general rule, as much us males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; hut for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, us a general rule,
children require more than adults In proportion.
lty observing the above directions, the medicine will
b‘> found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realised, and many perfectly
astonished. My object it. being tlius particular i--, that
the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any actual tiecewiVy of such strict ob
servances.
Ulltous or Remittent Fever.
tiive a fceaspouful of “ Fluid” (sue rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oil ; this
constitutes the whole treatment ill ull simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
“ Ittiles.” lint should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
Heo Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a oat bar lie (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion : they must be opuued or the fever may rise
itga'u.
Where the fever is very high, pulse ruunlng 110 or
upwards, am’ the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the ir.fi teuee or medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousfui
may be given at first with advantage, and oven repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been taflentd ,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits turn
water. In these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much iu taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(.live two teaspoonsful a„,| repeat every two hours till
the pulsu becomes more full and sort, tfi -n only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as t'ue fever subsidei. As
(lie bowels are generally routined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease
m> time should be lost to get them open, give some active
ithartlo with the “ Fluid” and repeat us may lie neces
vavy till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be
h>d to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (nibbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
’• Fluid” if thought advisable. See Syuop is.
k'rrvons Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are r'.l of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being a” of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
on practical use in separutlug them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, when
tulty developed, a little patience will he required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will Vie necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
i ‘??****} should bo commenced—which may
a ‘.njm nnM r< i Uow * uy oth<,r wtthou * detriment—with
iivZ , ?.f Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
nceTn or ,n T<llom ®’ th * u *° b ” continued
nee in six or eight hour, till the fever entirely .übsidee.
In bad coses, from three to five grains each ol quinine,
and capsicum (Cayenne popper) or tome tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries; should tie added to each dost*. Ihe
bowels should he kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should bu given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. ‘I be patient
should bo suslaiued by nourishing and tuucilagenous
drinks—such as are iu common use iu such cases.—
Where the skin *s very dry, sponging the surface as di
>voted in bilious fever, wil be found udvauUgnou. .
Touics should be used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become ] educed.
Pneumonia, Typliolil Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Cive u toaapoouful of the “Iluid” every two hours,
witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of lioneset; or
half the quaniity may ho given every hour till relieved,
thou, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The houeseL tell should bo given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ol
the kind, to he applied over tho seat of pain; keep tho
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola nnd Scarli*-
t tun; urMnall Fox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in feet is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs line Ini Ie from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “ nanle,” whether it is one or tho
other, or wither, as they all commence with fever, hut
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will be but tittle eruption even in email
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, nnd doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will be cut snort; attended witli out little erup
tion; little or lie pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only tny reputation, but at that f hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that ol
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive lover, aud
kuep down, it is believed, the number of Out pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tho admission Unit it may
ho done, l nave not only proven it may be, hut has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship, (ion the account appended.
(live u Iraq, ism ltd or more, according to the urgency
nf tho cose, with u dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until Ihe fever sub
sides—though ne or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
hut It should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
thu fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gai gles may he used, and the
surface bathed, us thought advisable.
In oue cuse, on thu ship Duchess and Orleans, (lie tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured hy dropping the
Fluid on h:. tongue, drop hy drop, till he could swallow,
when ii was given in teuspouul'ul doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tho throat was reduced so as to enable him to fake nour
ishment in about 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 and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to ihe
Negative Kiectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single.dose or two of a
teiispoouful, almost invuri.ildy giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it m a shuri iime. It should he re
pented us long as the fever continues, as ,n other cases.
The trowels if course should he attended to.
in connection with this subject, 1 cannot, refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
file ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering, it
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid iu
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold tukeu at a delicate time, is easily “olie veil by
its use ; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies lot ninny of the ills of females, if not
tho most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritubility of tho nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not lorce sleep like 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 condense tho treat
ment as much as possible, I give under tiiis head general
directions for all coses. As the Negative Kiectric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho
name it may he or ought to he called, it should he 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 effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld he given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As tho •, Fluid” alone will sub
due tlie fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, aud should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat the dose; if attended
witli diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severo local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ico water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
d-y and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bailie tlie
whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if tiie patieut ha3 been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlie patient lias become re
duced; if (here is nausea and vomiting, that must bu
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; for tiiis purposo I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purposo; when tho
stomach has settled, give the Fluid” ami a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it tiff you
have seen, and then you will bo astonished at the ease
with which you cun control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
forties may tool at a loss to know what is meant ly
oat it at tics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be lully understood by
all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cathart ice.—Articles tin:! purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibiliuus, Ac.; anything
known to he good for such purposes.
Hepatics.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Aliy of tile articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with the •• Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. A.il one may choose calomel—another, blue
moss—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics. —Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots amt bitter herbs. Ilone
sei or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium arc
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) ia i tie of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. Those are the only classes necessa
ty in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bettor “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than knowu in the materia m. it tea.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packet ship Duchess D’Ovleans.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz
We took passage on the paeke’tship Duchess d’Orleans,
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France
and bound for New York. She sailed on the oth of Au
gust. 1861, with over n hundred souls on hoard, mosth
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the smail
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated hv the physician in charge. Dr. N. W. Scat, with
anew remedy of his own. which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which lie 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 were about eighty cases of small pox. some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion. possesses Inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so lunch ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse A crowded ship, a king passage,
small pox and fever on board, an l not a death! The’
fact speaks for itself.

WHICJ* HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN

fIUiKSK diseases ate common to many localities of tho
| United, .‘-lutes; but wherever they prevail, North,
South. Bust or West, they ail equally spring from the
same miasnml eau*. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age,
sex, constitution am'habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is eomi>eteut 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 wolds a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from .Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal an. vegetable matter, or even newiy
cleared lauds, is the same iu character and effect; is a poi
son floating ,p the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. ill accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting bet ween op
posites • ‘ ere is in thu preparation before us, offered to
ihe public,
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison w henever it comes in con
tact with it vun in the open air, and w neu taken inter
nally completely purifies tho system affected by itut'it6
baneful influence, uud thus restores aud preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to he entirely new. and un
known to any hut the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
J l will instantly cheek the ague in persons who have
suffered lbr any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and hy continuing Its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will bo effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria shoulu make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in ttie system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and • when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent ihe accession of
General Debility stistl Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other uiede
cities. The patient at ouoe begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and 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 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
thu Unitefi States, its success lias been so complete o ,w l
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor oi its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all ,he resources cf
science hail 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, fcaiicine, Ac.
Tile effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their puis turns effects arc euperadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret l ever aud 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, us 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 Harmlessness,
The lollowing certificate from on of thu most celebrated
chemists in the United States Inis been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eve y bottle:
Nmv York, June 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
ami Ague Cure or Anlidoti to Malaria, aud have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES K. < HILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It i a stubborn fact, thorn fore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to re love the hitman family from
malarious diseases, but to and. m equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Kemc iy not more valuable ns a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the mi di, inc be taken in advance.
This is owing to tho diseases being produced by one and
the same cause, and therefore-all, both residents and
travelers, should protect t|ieuiselves by the timely use
of tiiis preventive, and not wap f r the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself iu a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advise as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
ft will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mih! cathartic or .intioilious purgative. Tho
very best thing for genera! use )s a moderate close of
Castor Oik the object of which is to cleanse the. stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is cs.stiveucss, it must be taken
or the operation of the antidote will he seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more buttles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates, aud place them in
sleeping rooms ; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air waited aero. s. or circulated over the
dregs of it. after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a deg:uc commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infapts are exposed to
malarious situations.
Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have tire
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ah!.,; Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tho
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to iwevent counterfeits an l Imitations.
The reliance for its scivfss is entirely cron its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. Those
will be considered sutticient.

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias .attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dlssolv, ut
and Its soothing power to all irritations of the throat
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the

also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping (be digestive powers in proper tone.
Ketnombcr that this is the only Congli Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved of. and recommended by the lending
Physician* of New York city. Kvcrv bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be Utter tlian any Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver

UN PARALLELED SUCCESS OF
RHODES’ FEVER AND AGUE CURE,
OR
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
SO BOISOK. PROOFS !
See w hat tho President of the Ph-nuaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fevei and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria:
Sr. Lotus, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. it. Chilton,
of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, Unit it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, 1 was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for the medicine. Fine, then I have disposed ot a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured tyit,und to whom 1 tan refer. I am.
therefore, satisfied iu recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir;—l have just sent
an order to Ames A Holliday for another half gross of
your Feveraml Ague Cure. J l has sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One. reason it
has sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague
or Chili Fever, 1 have sent a oottle and telil them to try
it, and if it dkl not help them, they were net obliged to
pay for it, aud tiiey were all satisfied. 1 had one ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on tlie sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

We remain respectfully yours,

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence,, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. 1 was first attacked hy
chills and fever on the Isthmu ~;f Panama, several
months since, and in spite of th , different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my houl i .'grew worse until
1 commenced tho 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 yjur m*dicine the success that it iner ts,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

In another column of to-day’s paper will he found an
advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.”
We are not la the habit cf puffing medicines, but desire
to pay, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm, N.
Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg. who has it for sale, in
forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and iu

Evidtnce from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, .'-ept. 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 witlifflii. any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and lias not had 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
n charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Mqxticello, lad., Aug. 27, 1856.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here fur about throe years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect succsfs. Respectfully yours, *
W. O. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11,0. It. IE, Ga., Jan. 1, 1850.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in Its sale. \V. 4. IJAYLES.
Jt any body and -ircs further evidences, they will find
it in every bottleot the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible in 0 every town anil village
in the United Mates, Canadas, Ac. The eminent 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 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 proteneiouS could not lie realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish si: -i immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the tact of a greater suc
cess and sale than over attended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning Glory
of tiie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its flee use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons. not a man woman or child in the United States
won’ . ever have a hi/le attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of uisea arising
from tiie atmospheric jmison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antidut<.
it is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restoration, giving new life and strength to nil
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
