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.

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. .

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!

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. Prepared and sold by the prrq-.i ie'or, JAMES A. liIHAWKS, Providence. R. I, For sale in Columbus by Ji'YiAX. THOMAS & CO., February to, lSofi. ly Druggists.

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.

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.
