Here is the way Richardson, of the Davenport Democrat , delineates Dr. Shallenbcrgcr, the great Fever and Ague-cure man : “ Dr. A. T. SltuUenberger’s name is a household word in a -majority of homes throughout the Western and Southern States, but to be int imately acquainted with the man is the lot of comparatively few among thpse even who have received lasting benefits at his hands. Twenty-five miles, or thereabouts, on this side of murky, smoky, dingy, busy, bustling Pittsburgh, out of the dense clouds of its forge and foundry Ayes, away from the incessant rattle -of its machinery, is situated the rural little village of Rochester, Pennsylvania, not to be mistaken for its populous namesake in New York Btatc, for this modest town would have been scarcely heard of outside of its immediate neighborhood were it not that it was the home of a public bencfiictor, the place from which lie has sent to all parts of the Union that great and good remedy, whicli has done more towards the relieving of poor suffering humanity, who burn with fever or shiver with ague .than all the remedies ever placed before the public put together. This we would have the reader understand is no idle boast, beyond the knowledge of the writer, but born of experience, and proved by knowledge of actual facts. Among our own personal acquaintance, we have those who, prostrated by the alternate burnings and freezings of America’s direst disease, have found all doctors at a loss, all beasted panaceas useless, until the friendly hand of Dr. Shallenberger has come to their aid with the well-known bottles of familiar pills, which have proved an infallible antidote, arresting the chills, and disarming the fever demon as if by magic. For fifteen years has the doctor been busily employed in preparing for the public this prescription, which is not one of those cure-alls calculated to heal every disease, but a well-considered, fully-proved, and never-failing resort for the malarious disease it professes to cure. Those who know, as we do, the character of the man, his standing in society, his perfect honor and undoubted integrity, and his aversion to anything bordering on charlatanism, will indorse every word we say.”
