j. A RHODES, ESQ. Dear Sir-As L took
your medicine to sell on consignment, :. no cure
no pay" l take pleasure in stating its effects as
reported TO me by three brothers who live IN this
place, and their testimony is q fair specimen OF
all have received:
WIS. CoNKLIN told me-. had taken nine
bottles of ChriSte's Ague Baisam, and continual
ly 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 to did all they could
for me, but thought must die. Nothing did me
any good until L got Rhodes Fever and Ague
Cure which at once relieved me of the distress
a:ld nausea at my stomach and pain III my head
and bowels. and produced permanent cure IN
short time.' #aEE.f
H. NJ. CoNKLIS says: s' I had been been ta-
king medicine of as good doctor as we have in
our county, and taken any quantity of quinine
and specifics without any good result, from 25th
August to 18th December. But seeing how nice
ly it operated on my brother, got bottle of
RHODES FEVER AND AGUE CURE, which
effected permanent cure by using two thirds of
a botte'' at @ 4
S. NJ CoNKLIN was not here, but both the other
brothers say his case was the same as ii. MS l
sold the medicine to both the same day, and the
cure was as speedy from the same small quantity
and l might 50 specify, Yours with respect.

The above speaks for itself. Good proof as it
is it is of no better tenor than the vast number
