He marks on Fever* In General*
On this subject I wish to he fully understood. Ily the
h*rm ‘‘fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affection* to
which the human frame is subject, including miniH |ox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise hy a great
variety of causes, and In quite dissimilar constitutions
.md habits, they of course differ considerably in their
,|. v. lopiucnt and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
\. t all are distinguished hy the same general character
i tics—that, of undue excitement in the circulatory and
ii< tvouh systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skill,
dehillty, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I
iidvaiice, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
~t King's College, London, whose work on the Priori
pies and Practice of Physic” Is a text book in many of
~l ll* medical colleges, and consequently standard auUtorilf/.
•m page Hd4. he says : —•** We hear continually, lad h in
.ml out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (lastro-Knt<*ric, and
. forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
vjiriom* forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
• neourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
lliat can be relied oil. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and ate often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a *• mow;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
rill be well instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, bo ns to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis bust'd on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed*
-ideof the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of eases
iy myself and others) under a great variety of cir
umstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you w ill soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before the ‘* Fluid” is given, either hy
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly us possible the proper course to he pursued in

relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritahility of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and

If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili

with diurrlwcti, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though it caused by irritability, the
’•Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inllamnmtion, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if

that Is inmpaU'iit to overcome or remove that cause.
By tile laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re

whether arising from Marshes. Stagnant water, decompo

And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety

which is often to them the most Valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction ot the DU UK in every part of
the United States, its success Ims been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at tile date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all the resources of
Science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salieine, &c.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
tcnqiorary relief, their poisonous effects .ire siiperadded
to the poor sufferer’s lirst complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should la- particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may tie taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely iq>n destructive poisons.

Woi'tHy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Harmlcssucss,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle:
New York, .June 11, 1855.
•■I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to .Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either iu it. nor have 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It i; a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve tlie human family from
malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
Ttie entire, absence of any baneful ingredient makes
Ibis Remedy not more valuable ns a Cure, than it is as
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
the same cause, and therefore all, lioth residents and
travelers, should protect themselves hy the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
linking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice us to diet mid habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often he found necessary to precede this medi
cine hy a mild cathartic or mitibilious purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil. the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and free the biliary passage*. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is eostivencss, it must re taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —Iu certain specified eases, pour
the contents of one or more, bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them ill
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it. after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to ii dcgiec commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie
resorted to when very young infants tire exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is putup have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Auue Cure” blown in the
glass, ami on the outside wrapper is the name of tlie
medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tlie
signature of Hie proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will he considered sufficient.

Dear Sit—The public generally are fully awulc of the
thousands of l omodlesfnr Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Siii'sapnrillas. Fills, Clusters. Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Real tse in I'ulmeiiieiry Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing. 1 mi acting most unprofessionnlly, and ileroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Dr act dinners of Medicine. T refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot

This preparation Inis attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as n dissolvent
ami its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
w ill probably lie preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it w ill
also be found excellent, it* natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned bv, approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warrauted
to give satisfaction or the inouey refunded. YY'e guaran
tee it to be better than auy Cherrv Pectoral. Cod Liver

J J given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. It. Chilton,

Dure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap

for tlie medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva

therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent
an order to Ames A llallulay for another half gross of
your Feverand Ague Cure. It lias sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a ease of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and teld them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. 1 had one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied.

Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Y ours truly,

Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all 1
can in its sale. W. A.HAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible in * o every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
I can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure on commission. They thought its great
chums anil pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will lie noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish su h immense quantities are always
new and lute dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tile Crowning Grlory
of the Cure is Its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a |wcventive. Thus protected by
using II bottle or two (hiring the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child in the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antUMe.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a “Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened hy
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.

I will commence with tho January number.
In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for Ut
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs t
add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, il
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in tin
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Plan;

the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In tlie first place, we remark to our friends and reate
that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become the PuhliJi

step backward” its progress is onward and upward tott

It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor,t;
by tlie members of the Society, that tlie Planters am!
Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama
will rally en masse to the support of Alabama's only in

we feel assured we sliali be able to visit our patron* oi
the first of each month, to their entire satisfaction ;
