vEEiIIS wonderful remedy has been thoroughly
4 tested during the last three years, in all classes
of fevers, from Typhus to the simplest Fever and
Ague, by large number of Physicians and nom
professional men in various parts Of the Union, in
Central America, and in the Hospitals of Paris by
order of the government of France, with entire

Dr.. SEAT-Dear Sir The results have con-
'stantly been similar in all the public hospitals, and
where the Fluid has been administered in a great
variety of cases. The fluid is exactly what you
represent it to be; most wonderful and unparalleled

but in any kinds of disease characterized by nervous
or vascular excitement, epilepsy, fits convulsons,
delirum tremens, sick headache, pnumonia, colds

fections in connection with the most eminent of
the faculty of the city Of Paris, and always with
perfect success. M. Liable Denis. First Ammonia
a LHospital st. Louis, Paris, gave few doses to
friends that had been periodically suffering for
number of years Of sick headache which nothing
could relieve. They have been cured with the
Fluid. DR.. Colon, eminent physician, La
Chapelle ST. Denis, Paris where he has practised
tor twenty-five years, AFTER lew months trlal OF
the Fluid in his immense practice, pronounced it
one of the greatest discoveries ever made in the
annals ofmedcine, and offered certificates to prove
his assertions, which shall have the pleasure of
sending to you the first opportunity with those of
other distinguished medical men. Grand and emf
nentIy useful am bold to say that considering the
success obtained, and the degree of attention now
attached to this important ubject, your Negative

extensively used, not only in France, but in all
parts of Europe,

DR. SEAT-Sir According to your request I
have tried and given to be tried in the city of Tours
and its vicinity, your Negative Electric Fluid, and
to which you attribute the property of breaking fe
yer as well, and even better than the Sulphate of
Qunne. | now communicate briefly to you the
results of the experiments made here in the fall of
1892, which must remark, has been uncommonly
healthy.
About ninety cases of Intermittant Fever none
of them light, have been radically cured some
with one or two doses and the most of them with
three Or four doses
The Fluid is certainly sure and uniform
in its effects than the Qunine it is entirely free
from the many bad effects of the latter article and
much cheaper.
You have resolved magnificent problem, Sir,
and conferred an immense service on humanity,
especially in the poorer classes of society.
beg you, Sir, TO receive my thanks for the con-
fidence you have reposed in me, and believe me
very sincerely and respectfully, yours,
