DOWAGIAC, Mich, March 11, 1866. J. A. RHODES, ESQ : Dear Sir—As 1 took your medicine to sell on consignment. "no cure no pay," I take pleasure in staling its ef fects as reported to me by three brothers who live in this place, and their testimony is a lair ■ specimen of all I have received: W. 8. COHKIIK tojd me 1 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 from my mouth and bowels, so that all thought it impossible for me to live through another chill. The doctors too did all they conld for me, but though I must die. Nothing did any good until 1 got Rhodes' Fe ver and and Ague Cure, which at once reliev ed me of the distress and nausea at my stom ach and pain in my head and bowels, and pro duced a permanent cure in a short time." H. M. CONXION says: "1 had been taking me dicine ot as good a doctor as we have in our county, and taken any quantity of quinine and specifics without any good. result, from 26 August to I7tb December. But seeing how nicely it operated on my brother, I got a bot tle of RHODES' FEVER AND AGUE CUKE, which effected a permanent cure by using two thirds of a bottle." S. M. Co.v klin was nut licre, but both the other brothers say his case wax the same as H. .M's. I sold the medicine to both the same day, and the cure was as speedy from the same small quantify, and I might so specify. Yours with respect. A. HUNTINGTON. The above speaks for itself. Good proof as it is, it is of no better tenor than the vast num ber of like certificates I have already publish ed, and the still greater amount thai is contin ually pouring in to me. One thing more. Last year I had occasion to Caution the Public in these words:— "2 notice one Jirtn u ho hare taken one of my gen eral circulars, substituted the name of their nos trum for my medicine, and then with brazen impu dence end their pamphlet with the exclamation, 'Let the proprietor of aery uther medicine say as much if he. ilares,' " &c. Now I take pleasure in saying that the Cau tion referred to the same "Dr. Ohiistie's Ague Balsam" that is mentioned in the above cer tificate. There are several other industrious people who are applying to their poiaonous trash all that I publish about my Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, except the certificates of Cures, and the Certificate of the celebrated Chemist, Dr. James. R. Chilton of N. Y., in favor of its perfectly HARMLESS CHARAC TER, which is attached to every bottle. These will always serve to distinguish my medicine from imitations. J AS. A. RHODES, Proprietor.
