NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, |
frcpartil by I.'. W. Seat, M. D.
Lesson* why St should bo used instead of any other treat- i
ment in all K urile affections :
l*t.~Uciiiiomy of l'liut.-As only one-seventh
cl (tin ordinary time is reuuirtxi to effect a cure.
tii.-Kconomy ofMoney.—As it c -ats but one
dollar.
3rd,—Keouomy of Peeling—As it saves the
suffering of a long sickness aud the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and tile pain of
long oeufineiuentj but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
lilt.— Kvonoiny of Thoughts—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
3th.—Economy of Kealth, —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently rallied; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
6 til,—Economy of Life,—As the cure i 1 effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in u corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might he added, hut these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
‘i'hu above reasons arc more particularly applicable to j
the immediate treatment on the first atturk, 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 case at the time It is tirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief. 11l all ordinary eases, when used soon after
the attack, persons tan scarcely realize that they hail
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
wer, nut attacked with fever, and If so, ‘ it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm -it could have been
nothing of Consequence —it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had uoeffect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, Hint thoughts
not unlike the above fallow the Cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
tile individual has witnessed many coses that he can fully
realize the truth; and even then ho may conclude them
all very t,tiling cases, which would have readily yielded
to auy simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful In perhaps hundreds of cases, must
cJtpeet that there will coses occur win re there is some
erg&nic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success nl in reducing the fever,
it will amtir. rise os the influence of the “fluid” passes
oil', as the exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard
against disappointment in Kuru casus that I have given
aild frequently refer to what I have called u “synopsis.”
Htuarktou Kevcrs in General*
Ou this subject 1 wish to be fully understood, iiy the
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human lVauto is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
und habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all lire distinguished by the same general character
istics—that oi undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that l uni not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
ot Kiug's College, London, whoso work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic"’ is a textbook In many of
cur me' 1 cal loib-ges, and consequently U.mtlanlauthority.
Hu page 634, lie says:—“Wo hear continuolii, both in
..nd out ot the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
:■. And systematic writers arc to the full at, particular;
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, tiiistro-Hulcric, ami
so forth. Now, oduitting that fever Blmws itself under
various forms, I urn persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all ibis sub-o.vision, is bad aril hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, “lreudy too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied ou. They run insensibly into each
id her, 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 1 would impress ou your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you,self about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, anil you
Mill be we II instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most seientifle.
fliis assertion is no hypothesis based ou closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but ou experience at the beil
bide of the sick, ill hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and ethers) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
aud treat at once vithout regard to mime, and rest
assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing and daugorous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Kules”
aud “ Synopsis” will be amply sufliciunt for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Hides important to be obs. i ved in all cases in uslny the
Negative ,ectrlc Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or lour times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
tt hough tlioro should always be free ventilation in the
Hick room,) nor attempt to go übout while under its iu
tiueuce.
3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it
!egina to rise again, should such be the ease under any
circumstances.
4tb. When the fover begins to subside, patients must
be loft perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not ho questioned as to ttieir wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, i"Hd or take any exercise whatever,
till their oiuii natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, ituluce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed iu their hearing, in
which they may fool more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
6th Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, anil as long as the patient desires aud uo
lor.gei ; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold r . warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
6th. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lies passed off, or enough to
occasion their to speak of it, they should have a little
wtue, todily, camphor, liartshor", lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some ot-ier stimulant; or the face and
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF BOSKS.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
s teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, us i general rule, as much as mules.
There is no particular earn necessary in giving it to
children —those often years of ago frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide, I have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable iu all of its effects, the expectati’ I
of the most sanguin. realized, and in auy perfectly
astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may ho obtained, aud
uot ou account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Krmlltent Frvr.
Give a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple oases of
fever, with sucli observances as are set forth In the
•• Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
jirni*. or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
8e Synopsis.
If in auy case tho bowels are particularly constipated
or couflned, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with tlie
first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
agaiu.
Where the fover is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is nut particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on bv
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousfiil
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened
thus shewing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing tlio surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the undue wash, viuogvr or spirits ami
water, ill those difficult cases, will afford relief and a.d
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
aive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more tull aud soft, then oulv a tea
spoonful, to bo discontinued as the fever subside! As
the bowels are generally confined, mid it is frwmontlv
very difficult to gi t medicine to operate In this disease
no time should Ik* lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “Fluid” aud repeat as umv | ly n(>Cl , B
sary till lr operates; enemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustm-d to the extremities ~r
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel: also cold
applications to the head. Quinine mnv be added to th.,
“Fluid” if thought odrtsablo. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, ship and Pulrld
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly In degree, lwlng all of a low grade, the pulse
small anil wiry, with a general great depression, there is
uo practical use in separating them—t b ast so far as
mv treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers when
fully developed, a little patience will so- re.miiSHi- still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common fcatment. while with this but a few days
k i th *„ t r e i* tl *??t should be oorameuced—v.hleb mav
I follow any other without detriment—with
ft J* teaspoonfiil of “ Fluid” every two hours, til'the pulse
’ , ful,Br or l'Ber in volume, then to be continued
nee in tlx or eight hours till the fover entirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to live grains each of quinine
and capsicum pepper) * r some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should ho added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepuJic should he given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose, lbo patient
Simula bo sustained by nourishing and niucilageuuus
drinks—such as are in common uso in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be lbuud advantageous, j
Tonics should bo used during convalescence, in all eases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pncuinoula,Lung j
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoonful of the “ Fluid ‘ every two hours, t
with a win e-glassful ot a strong decoction of txmeset; or
half the quantity may he given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Vail.Hu, Vurloloid, RuDeoln and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
| in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Kemember
never wait to learn the “ii,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, us they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will bo Inti little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
i direct, wiU be cut short; attended with hut little erup
tion ; little or uo pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this i will stake
not only my reputation, but a I that X hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; tiiat of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. Ho says, page 874;
“Ton may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, vile number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tiiat it may
he done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous cusos ibat occurred on board
ship. See till) account appended.
Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the cahe, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tue fever sub
sides—though out) or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
auy of the ordinary gargles may be used, anil the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
Iu one case, ou the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and Annuls were so much swollen that the patient could
uot swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when It was given in teaspoouful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour
ishment in abont twelve hours by the Fluid alouo.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargU Iu all sucli cases.
Puerperal or CUiltlbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonlul, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should be re
peated us lour, tv* tile fever continues, as in other cases.
Tile bowels of course should be attended to.
Iu connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and Buttering, 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 be tried to bo appreciated.—
l’ainful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring, Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, tt is one of the most cunvenientand
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most soofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory,
it will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and
quiet the system so tiiat one can sleep naturally anil
healthy ; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, anil condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may he or ought to he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
wiien such exist, must he removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such iudicutious occur iu auy case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving tlio “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion req -ires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides uo unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the tirst dose, or soon ufter, anil should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relievo that condition ; ,f severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the pint; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, Ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tile feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry aud hot, with greut Buttering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fover or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, tiiat must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any goad; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; in leed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found so such necessity
when using tlio Fluid, and to bo fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cat hartics. —Articles tiiat purge or operate ou the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, auy of the roots
or barks, and many pills, untibilious, Ac.; anything
known to lie good for such purposes.
Hepatlca.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, |mdopliyllln—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take ltis choice and be sue
ctetsful.
Tonics.—Articles that giro tone or strength, such
os quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thorough wort is oue of the best used in fevers
Aat .'lug, ut a.—Such ns check the action of tho
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which hare the effect.
Stimulants. —Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all moro
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is bet'er “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne.” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in tho materia medico.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly oh tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one Instance of success, that on the
Packetslitp Duchess D’Orleans.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
Me, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz—
M e took passage ou the packotsliip Duchess d’Orleaus
Uapt Hutton, then lying In the port of Havre. France,
and bemud for New York. Blie sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tlie email
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were ail
treated by the physician in charge. I)r. N. AY. Seat, witli
anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over tho disease, arresting it in a few hours, ami curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-niue days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever,
Ae.. 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. Feat ou the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. M'e never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to , ie nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
smallpox and fever on l>ard, nnd not a death.’ The
fact speaks for itself.

WiUCIX iIAVE A COMMON OBIGIN IN
MALA.ITIA OR MIASMA.
! T t MlKrfK diseases are common to many localities of tho
X United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, Fast or M eat, they all equally spring from tile
same luiasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
Bex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
tiiat is competent to overcome or remove tiiat 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 in other words a speeilic remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal aud vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to
tlie public,
Tire Natural Antidote to Malaria.
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
houl til.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraoi dinary results from its use :
It will instantly chock tho ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from oue day to twenty
years, aud by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will lie effected; tho patie-'t contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should lake its use again necessary.
In its operation upon she poison iu the system, it v.iil
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Alight Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other uiede-
cines. The patient at once begins to reevor appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may he banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of
tlie United States, its success inis been so complete aud
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at tlie date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
tlie most candid minds, because all ihe resources cf
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, Suliciuo, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than tlie disease
they subdue, aud when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their puis, nous effects are superadded
to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On tiiis account ague sufferers should lie particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert
they may lie taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that, their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular aud Entire Harmlessness,
The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, aud a
copy of it is attached to evei y boti lu;
N i.w York, June 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of lthodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine aud Strychnine, but
have uot found a particle of either in it, nor have lfound
ary substance in its composition tiiat would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CIULTON, M. D., Chemist.”
it is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human famiiy from
malarious diseases, but to do un equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
Tlie entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remeily not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one and
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take tho Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilieus 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 free tlie biliary passages. Remember tiiat where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of oue or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud uestroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cube” blown in the
glass, and ou the outside wrajqier is the name of tlie
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) aud 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 bo considered sufficient.

North among the l'hyaieians, anti lias been pronounced

New Ouu.ans. April t>, 1856.
Dear Sir—The public generally are ful v aware of .lie
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sursaparillos, Pills. Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that are
and uly brought to their notice through the newspanersby
way of advertisements. My object in w riting this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one .that contains articles of
Heal Use in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that iu
so doing, 1 am acting most uitprofcssionuUy.ur: ‘ deioga
torily to the Interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mi diciuc, . refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I li„ve
used with more success than any of tlie usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1865.
O. 0. Woodman —Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial ami am well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article 1 ever met with. I
would be pleased to have yon send me half a dozen bot
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Masom, M. D.
This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs Ids, and In fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
aud Its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably lie preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also lie found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping tlio digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember tiiat this ie tlie only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. M'e guaran
tee it to lie lietter than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver’
Oil. or anything else now extant. ’

GREAT TRIUMPHS
AND
UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF
RHODES’ FEVER AND AGUE CURE, i
OR
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
MO POISON. PROOFS S
See what tho President of the Pharmaceutical Society j
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fovet and Aguo Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria:
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by tho celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for tlie medicine. Since then 1 have disposed id’ a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom I can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.
EDWARD S. WHEATON,
Presd’t of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri.

Providence, June 23, 1855.
Having been informed of tlie illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who lias not, been fre e from Fever and
Ague a mouth at a time lor the last twelve years, I sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took iu all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, and as four months i
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tho perraa- I
liency of the cure.

James A. Rhodes, Esp—Dear Sir: — 1 have just sent
an order to Ames A llalliday lor another halt gross of
yottrFeverand Ague Cure. It lias sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I ha. heard of a case of Aguo
or CliUl Feve r . 1 have sent a bottle anil teld them to try
it, anu if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all sc lied. 1 had one cose
of Chill Fever where it run sou. days, hut the man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.

Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—The box of “ Ague
Cure” you sent us has all been sold aud created a large
demand for more; to meet which we have ordered
from your general agent at Chicago, J. I>. Yerrington.
Its sale will only he equalled by the number of Fever
and Ague cases. Hoping these cases may be few, yet
have a bottle for every case.
We remain respectfully yours,

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.
Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your medicine has met
witli the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I
have about five bottles left. I give it to them at first,
‘if no cure no pay,’although I was not authorized by
you to do so; but I took tlie responsibility ou myself.—
But uot a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out
of tlio article l wish you would forward me one gross of
tlie bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will he
punctual in paymeut. 1 inclose fifteen dollars on the
medicine I have received, for which please send me a
receipt. Ship the as soon as yon can—there
never lias been as much Chills and Fever since 1 lived in
the State, as at present. Yours, Ac.,

31 Bottles Perform 31 Cures.
Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855.
Dr. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It lias uot
failed in one instance’to effect a quick and permanent
euro. Some who have been troubled with the distress
ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one
bottle of the Cure. Please send ns immediately four
dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure iu assuring you of
the eenefit it lias been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Istbmu if Panama, several
months since, and in spite of th < different remedies
and treatment 1 adopted, my heal i jgrew worse until
T commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur midicine the success that it merits,
1 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 in the habit of putting medicines, but desire
to say, 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 in
every case it has effected a enre. This proves the medi
linetohe good, and we take pleasure iu bringing it
before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Jloonshoro,

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Slept. 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 mouths without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Curo and has not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Curo. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from n Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 18 55.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been iu the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours.
W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. R.. Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure lias 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. ‘ \y. A. lIAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible in'o every town and village
in the United States, Canadas. &c. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. K.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 pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will he noticed that the letters
of which I publish su li immense quantities arc 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 ever attended liny other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning Glory
of the Cure is ils HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its tree use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly’ sea
sons. not a titan woman or child in the United i-tates
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antid tie.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
w hose constitutions have beeu shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility orany kind of intemperance or dissipation.
