A Providential ■. Then it no aapi ration so glorious as the desire to do good. Howard, banding orer tbo couch of sickness and smoothing the pil low of death, waa greater than Napoleon at Auaterlitz. And Thomas Holloway, whose inestimable medicines are subduing disease of every type, in every part of the habitable globe, is more worthy of respect and honor than any warrior that ever drew the sword. When Kossuth visited the United States he was designated by one of our clergy as the providential man. Surely Professor Hollo way, vvho has come to our country on a no bler errand, better deserves the title. His establishment in New York has been the fonts! eource of health to thousands of our afflicted fellow citizens. His agencies, es tablished in every city and town of the Union, are the people's dispensaries. What is true of the popularity of his medicines here, is trne throughout the world; for wherever civ ilization has penetrated, by land or sea, they are known and appreciated.

Sugarloaf, June 21, 1856. TONICS WON'T DO. fItHEY neVer did do more than give tempo- X rary relief and they never will. It is be cause they don't touch the cause of the dis ease. The cause of all ague and billious dis eases is the atmospheric poison called Mias ma or Malaria. Neutralize this poison by its NATURAL ANTIDOTE, and all diseases caused by it disappears at once. Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure is this Antidote to Malaria, and moreover it is a perfectly harmless medicine. The certificate of the celebrated chemist, J. R. Chilton, of New York, to Ibis effect, is attached to every bottle; therefore if it does no good it cac do no harm. This is more then can be said oT Quinine, Arsenic, or any lonic in existence, as their use is ruinous to the constitution and brings on DUMB AGUE, which never allows a per son lo feel perfectly well for a single moment. In illustration of these truths I annex some extracts from a letter just received from a Physician: Georgetown, Ohio, March 17, '66. JAS. A. RHODES, Esq.—Dear Sir : Yours of 2d inst. is at hand. The Core arrived late last year and the difficulty in getting any one to try it was greatly increased from the fact that a remedy had been introduced which was growing in favor with the public, as be ing better titan using Quinine. —not knowing I presume that the remeJy they needed to escape taking Quinine, contained the DRUG ITSELF! This remedy,(known as "Smith's Tonic ") would invariably BREAK an ngue, but it did not CURE it, and it would often return with renewed vigor. The one circumstance I deemed in your favor, if I could institute a test comparison between it and your CURE. The following is the result: Three persons look your "Cure," all of which were esses of "Quotidian Intermit tent Fever," of many weeks standing. They had tried Quinine, and other remedies, occa sionally missing a chill, but it was, (as in all such cases, i slowly wearing them out, and laying the foundation of other and severer maladies. I did succeed in effecting a radi cal cure of all three of these cases with your remedy, and they have not bad a chill since. In all three of these cases the "Smith's Ton ic" had been used, and would, as before sta ted, break the chill, but after a period or two had elapsed it would return. 1 think there will be no difficulty now in giving to your "Cure" the vantage ground of any other remedy now in use here. &c. &c. WILLIAM BUCKNER, M. D. RHODES' FEVER and AGUE CURE, or Antidote to Malaria, Ihe only harmless reme dy in existence, is equally certain as a PRE VENTIVE, as a "CURE." Take it when you feel the chill coming on, and you will never have a single one. JAMES A. RHODES, Proprietor. Frovidence, R. 1. For sale by Druggists generally. June 18, 1856.

In these fires, the HERRING'S SAFE, standing side by'side with those advertised as "warranted to stand 10 per cent, more fire than Herring's,"came forth the ackriowledg ed victor, not only preserving their contents in excellent order, but being themselves in a condition to go through another ordeal, while (he boasted "Salamanders" of other makers were burlly used up in every instance, and in somecasestheir entire oontents completely destroyed.

RHODES, Esq.: Dear Sir—As I look your medicine to sell on consignment, "no cure no pay," I take pleasure in stating its ef fects as repotted to me by three brothers who live in this place, and their testimony is a fair specimen nf all I have received. W.S. CONKLIN told nte—"l had taken nine bottles of Christie's Ague Balsam, and continually run down white using it until tr.y lungs and liver wen.- congested to that degree that bloud discharged from my mouth and bowels, so that all thought it impossible for me to live through another chill. The doctors too did all they could for me, but thought I must die. Nothing did me any good until 1 got Rhodes' Eever and Ague Cure, which at once relieved me of the dis tress and nausea at my stomach and pain in my head and bowels, and produced a perma nent cure in a short lime." H. M. CONKLIN says—"l had been tak ing medicine of as good a doctor as we have in our country, and IMtK of quinine and specifies without any good result, Irom 25th August to 17th December. But seeing how nicely it operated on my brother, I got a bottle of Rhode's Fever and Ague Cure, which effected a permanent cure by using two thirds of a bottle." S. M. CONKLIN was not here, but both the other brothers say his case was the same as H. M's I sold the medicine to both the same day, and the cure was ns speedy from the same small quantity, and I might so spe cify. Yours with respect, A. HUNTINGTON. The above speaks for itself. Good proof as it is, it is of no better lennr than the vast number of like certificates I have already published, and the still greater amount that is continually pouring in to me. One thing mote. Last year I had occasion to caution the public in these words: "1 notice one firm who have taken one of my generel circulars, substituted the name o! their nostrum for n;y medicine, and then with brazen impudence end their pamphlet with the exclamation, 'Let the Proprietor of any other medicine say ft mbch it be dares,' &o. &c. • Now I lake pleasure in saying that the Caution referred to the same "Dr. Christie's Ague Balsam" that is mentioned in the above I certificate. There are several other industrious people who are applying to their poisonous trash all that 1 publish about my Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, except the cer tificates of cures, and the certificate of the celebrated Chemist, Dr. James R. Chilton, of New York, in favor of its perfectly harm less character, which is attached to every bottle. These will always serve to distin guish my medicine from imitations. JAS. A.
