A HUMAN LIFE SAVED`(
DOWAGLIC, Mica" March 11,1856.
.T; A. RHODES, Req.: Dear Sir—As r
• took your medicine to sell on consign.
leant, "no cure no pay," I take pleasure in sta
ting its effects as reported to me by three
brothFra who live in this place ! and their testi
mony is a fair specimen, of all I have re
ceived:,
. ,
W. $. Conklin told me--"I had taken nine
bottles of Christie's Ague Balsam, and contin
,
ually run down while using it until my. lungs
and liver were congested to . that degree that
blood discharged froth my . Mouth and bowels,
so that all thought h impossible for me to live
through another chill. , The doctors too did all
they could for me, but thought 1 must die.—
Nothing did me any good until T got Rhodes'
Fever and Ague Cure which at once relieved
me of the distress and nausea at my stomach
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced
a permanent cure in a short time."
H. H. Conklin says—"l bad been taking
medicine of as good a doctor as we have in
our county, and takiug any quantity of quinine
and specifics without ~tir.y good result, from.
the 26th of August the 17th of Heptemberv- !!
But 'seeing kr" nicely it operated ; on Myhroth
er, I got a bottle of Rhodes' reimr aud Agtie
Cure, which effected a permaneutcure by using
twodhirds of a bottle: • ••• ' •
S. M. Conklin was not here, but both the
other brothers say his case was the eerie as
H. Id's. I sold the medicine tohoth the samo
day, and the cure was as speedyfrom the same
email quantity, andl might so apeci4 , Yotirs
with respect, A. H N TIN (AUX.-,
The above sneaks for itseit Good - *Mires
it is, it is of notetter.tenor than the cast nurn
ber oflike certificates I hive eireedy published,
and the.still greater amount that is continual
ly pouring in upon me. ' •
One thing more. Last ye,ar,l had occasion
to caution the publia in these worse : ,
".1 notice one ful7:4 who have taken one of any
general circular., sub . stituted the MRS of ilwir
nostrum for me medicine, and then with brazen
impudence end their pamphlet with the' excla•
motion; 'Let the proprsetor of any other medi•
eine say ea much /he dares,'" etc.
Now I take plensure in saying that the cita
tion referred to the same "Dr; Christie's Ague
Balsam" that is mentioned in the above cer
tificate.
There are several - other industrious phople
I , pho are applying to their , poikonous trash all
that have published about my Fever end
Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, except, the
certificates of cures, and the certificate of the
celebrated chemist, Dr. Jameiß. Chiiton, of
N. Y., in favor of its perfectly harmless char.
actor, which i.fattached to every bottle. This
will always serve to distinguish my medicine
from imitations.
