li--.i*oii* why it should lie used instead of any other trout-
Hunt in nil Febrile affections:
l nt.—Economy of Time.—As only one-see, nth
of the ordinary time la required to effect a cure.
4i.— Keunomy of Money.— As it c-sts hut one
dollar
it i'll. Economy of Keeling-— As it shv- s tin
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; tile annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
inadieine, their disagreeable operation, and the ]>ain ol
long oonlinetuent; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4th. — Economy of Thought. —A. when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting fehrlleaffections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
sth.—Economy of Health. —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor Is the fever
subject to he Pillowed by chronic disease.
6th.—Economy of Use.— As the cure Is effected
before ami without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
terminal ion.
Other reasons might lie added, lint these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply witti equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have Imeomc reduced, corresponding id’ course
-o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent rebel, In all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons ran scarcely realize that they lout
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—lt would hare passed off with
out anything —that medicine hrul noclTcct.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the (above follow the cure of a common ease
as naturally as men think at all: and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many rascsthat lie can fully
realize the truth; and evert then he may conclude then)
all very trifling eases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful iu perhaps hundreds id’ cases, must
. Xpert that there wilt eases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though successful in reducing the fever,
it will uguin rise as the Influence of the “ Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause inay still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in such cases that 1 have given
cud frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.”
Rrmarkson Fevers in General*
(in this subject I wish to lie fully understood, li.v I lie
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
\vhu ll tlie human frame is subject, including small |mix
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
.>nd habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or tyjies;
vet all arc distinguished by the same general character
istics that ot undue excitement In the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from tin* eelebrafed Prof. T. Watson,
ol King h College, Guidon, whose work on the “ Princi
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthnrilij.
•in page H:l4. lie says:—“Wo hear continually, lioth in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ilv the public, Typhus Fever, brain Fever,
bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full us particular;
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Enterfe, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I urn persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all libs sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
si riln- for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied oil. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause,”
The above Is n great fact, one worthy of remembrance
aud I would impress mi your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
mill lie well instead of any distinetchurueter being devel
oped, sous to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
-oleos the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soou be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But ns coses may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
uegloct, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued iu
ail of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Kulcs”
aud “ Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Buies important to lie observed in nil eases in usiwj the
Negative Electric Fluid.
isi It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must he free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
od. II must he continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off - ; to be resumed when it
begins to rise ogam, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
till When tlie fever begins to subside, patients must
lie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not l' questioned us to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak ; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or loss interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
stli. Fluids should be allowed, while giviug it as
plentifully, and as long us the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
flth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while iu the lying posture, so us to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
tueast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

All persons over tillecu considered as adults, for whom

require as much as young, or those iu the prime of life;
uoi females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giviug it to
‘children —those of teu years of age frequently having
taken full doses; hut for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, us a general rule,
rhildieu require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the alaive directions, the medicine will
lie fouud agreeable iu all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, anil many perfectly
astonished. My object ill being thus particular is, that
(lie lull benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
11l I Inns or ltrialttriit Fever.
tilve a tens pollful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu
iwo hours, till the fever is evidently passing off : this
constitutes tlie whole treatment iti all simple cases of
fever, with such observances ns are set forth in the
•• Kules.” But should there tie prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should he
attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in any ease the bowels ire particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with tlie
first portion ; they must lie opened or the fever inav rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or ’two teospoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, aud even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Battling tlie surface with wafer at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, iu these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
l ongest lvo Fever.
Hive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulae becomes more full aud soft, than only a ten
spoonful. to be discontinued us the fever subsides. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medidue to operate in tills disease,
no time should Is- lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates: enemas (injection!) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to tlie extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the bands or flannel: also, cold
applications to tlie head. Quinine may be added to the
*• Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small ami wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will bo required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tlie common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will bn necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fullei or larger in volume, then to be rontiuned I
once in eix or eight honre till the fever entirely eubsiiles. I
Tn bad cases, from three to five grains each of oninioe
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to cadi dose. The
bowels should Is: kept gently open, and small portion.-
of some hcpMe. should lie given occasionally, even
llioiigii tlie ICTwel* should lie very loose. The palient
should he Mi-tained hy nourishing aud mueilagcnous
drinks—such as are in common use in such coses.—
Whan tlu- skin i- vary dry. sponging tlie surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should lie used dining convalescence, in all cases
which have become
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, hung
or Winter Fever.
(jive a teaspoollful of tlie “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of honcsct; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should bo given warm till tlie violent
symptoms are allayed, or tlie patient Is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ol
the kind, to lie applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.

tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fcv;r.
As all of these diseases are attended w ith fever, which
in fact is tiiu most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Bi-memlier
never wait to loom the -* nine,” whether it is olio or tin
other, or neither, as they nil commence with Jivr.r, but
treat it at mice; govern the fever and (here will be no
trouble; there will ha bill little erupt ion even ill small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will hr nit short ; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of ,
its running ils ordinary course. On this l will stake \
not only my reputation, lint all that 1 hold most dear; j
besides, on lids subject, l have good authority; that ol
Prof. Matson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“Vou may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number oj'the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here Is the admission that it may [
ho done. I nave not only proven it nuuj be, but has j
been done in numerous cases tlint occurred on board !
ship. See the account appended.
(live a tcaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repent the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient:
but it should tie given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gurgles may lie used, and Hie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
Iu one ease, mi the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could
net swallow nr speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given in tcaspoonful doses every hour, till
all iiliirining symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the tlirout frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
I'licrpcrii I or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teas|MMinful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should lie re
peated as long ns tin: Cover continues, as in oilier cases.
The bowels of course should lie attended be
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain mid suffering. It
is to inform (hem of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
I’ain In I menstruation will be relieved ill once by a com
mon dose and retiring, ltostfessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at u delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient anil
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most Hoofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing nil excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as Hie circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, ami coiidcii.se the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all coses. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to be called, it should lie given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control ai! organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in an.v case, they should
he appropriate means, and those sohiiid be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, us they wilt then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the *, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I cull all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartie (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat, the dose: if attended
With diarrlneu, give something know n to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the bead, apply cold water, ico water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in lint water; if the fever is very high, skill
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water ut au agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either w ill afford great relief and aid the medi
cine ill taking effect, after which there w ill be no trou
ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, in übseut-o of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any goad; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose: when the
stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cuthnitic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving Ihe
“ Fluid” at the same time ns directed, niul success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and thou you will lie astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians nro usually particular
about what is used, i have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name n tow of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to. viz.;—
Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, an v of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antlbllious, A,’.; anything
known to he good for such purposes.
Hepnticu.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation mid secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
ttuonce. And one may eliooso calomel—another, blue
mass- the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, mid so on; each may take his choice and lie suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, siu-li
as quinine, various liarks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thorough wort la one of tlie lu-st used iu fevers
Astringents—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have tlie effect.
Stimulantm.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best •
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,” •■anodyne,” “diuretic,” ••relaxant” and
“sedative than known in the materia medico.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packetahip Duchess D’Orleans.

and bound for New York. She sailed on the fltli of Au

New Principle! New Bemedy! No Poison!
Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure ;
Ok Antidote to Malaria ;
for thi: rKJJVJSNTioN and clki:
•)t fever and Ague, or Chill Fever: Dumb Ague, mid
other intermittent and Kemittcnt Fevers; also el
||jihm Fevers, accompanied hy Typhoid .Symp
lons : Typhoid Fever. Yellow Fever, Ship
and Jail Fever. Heneral Debility, Night
Sweats, and all other forms of disease
WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
M2VXiA.Xt.IA. OK MIASMA.
riMIESE diseases are common to many localities oi the
I Unite-1 States; but wherever they prevail, North,
Soutli, East or IV*st| they all equally spring from the
same iiiiMsiual cause. The great variety ol symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield tour edy
that is competent to overcome or remove licit cause.
By tile laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause ot disease, there is a re
agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All .Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant Water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is Hie same in character and effect: is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who
breathe it. In aceonliuice witli those unalterable laws
governing Hie unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in tlie preparation before us, offered to
till’ public,
Tlie .\ntula 1 Antidote to Malaria,
w hich neiitraliz.es the poison whenever it collies ill con
tael with it. even in tlie open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, mid un
known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims
tlie follow ing extraordinary results from its use :
It will instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will lie effected; tin- patient contin
uing free from tlie complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon (lie poison iu the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
w ill entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow tlie administration of other incite
l ines. Tin- patient at once begins to rei ver appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class in Hie community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of the CUKE in every part of
tlie United States, its success lias been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
Wlien these declarations were made, at the date el its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
tlie most candid minds, because all tin- 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
drags, siicli as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when snob remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, tlieir poisonous effects .ire superadded
to tin- poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly
cureful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the iiemedy is not only valuable
oil account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because ofits
Singular anil Entire llaijiilcssiiess,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States has been obtained, mid a
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
New York, June 11, 1855.
“1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it for Arscuie. Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I fouud
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES K. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It i* a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, hut to do nil equally good work hy
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
Ibis Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is us a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as tlie one
under consideration, if the medicine be- taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced b.y one an.l
tlie sumo cause, and therefore all, belli resilient* and
travelers, should protect themselves hy the timely use
of this preventive, ami not w ait for the poison already
lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, uud so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and lial-ils of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede tills medi
cine by a mild cat hurtle or antibilious purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the olgectof which is to cleanse the stomach
and free Hie biliary passages. Remember that where
ibis is necessary, or there is costivrncss, it must re taken
or the operation of the antidote will he seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles oftlie Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
anil also tlie air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregsof it, after the liquid is evaporated, w ill counteract
uud destroy, tn a ilcgice commensurate w ith its expo
sure, tlie luiuMiiatu or poison contained iu the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise bo
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aiiue Cure” blown iu tin
glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tire
signature of the 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. Tlu-se
.will be considered sufficient.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of Hie
thousands of remcilicsfor Diseased Lungs, under tlie titles
of Snrsaptirillas. Pills, Plasters. Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object iu writing tills note
for publication, is to induct- the public, or at least those
who are aflliotod, to use one that contains articles of
Iteal t'si in Fulmnnary Diseases. lam conscious that in
o doing. I am acting most unprofi-ssinnally, and ilerogn
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin. Miss,, May 1, 1855.
iu ii. Woodman—Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial aud am well pleased with its ef
fects: better than any other article 1 ever met with. 1
would la- pleased to have you send nit- half n dozen bot
tles by tin- hearer. Respectfully.
AV. M. Mason. M. I).
This preparation has attained u wide celebrity from
tlie universal success which has attended its use. For
roughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaint*,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and it* soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
w ill probably he preferred to any other offered to the
public. As tin appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural amt genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stixsl the test of the medical fraternity. It is sudc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the lending
1 hysieiuns of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to lie better than any Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver 1
Oil. or anything else now extant.

HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. It. Chilton,
of New York city, in l'aver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that itconlamod neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications fur it, I was induced to send to Dr. .Rhodes
for tiiu medicine. Since then I have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be nil that

Providence, June 21), 1855.
Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who lias not been fre e from Fever.and
Ague a month at a time for tlie last twelve years, 1 .-ap
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, and as four months
have now elapsed, there is no reason tn doubt the perma
nency of the cure.

Jam as A. Knouts, Esq.—Dear Sir: —I have just sent
an order to Arnes & llulliday for another half gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure. It has sold like-’ Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
lias sold, is because w hen I have heard of n case of Ague
or Chill Fever, I 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 the sixtli day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. Hi,ADDING.

Dll. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Fir—Your Cure for the Fever

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1555.
Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, L take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and in spite of the different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Since that time I have not hud a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing y yur m -dicine the success that it merits.
I remain truly yours,

Evidence from a Clei-gyinau.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
-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
tlie Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same llalsain some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev, A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Moxtickllo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in tlie practice
of Medicine here for about three years, aud can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours.
’ W. fl. SPENCER,
Louisville No. 11, C. R. IL, lia., Jan. 1, 1856.
Y our Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just culled
will) lias been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES.
It any body desires further evidences, they will (iml
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as_ rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the l niteil 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 n 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
claims and pretensions could not lie realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters
ot which 1 publish sit h immense quantities ure always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy.
The CroxviiiiiK Glory
oftlie Cure is its IIARMLEFF CHARACTER, which
allows its iree usd ns a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during 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 tin- atmospheric poison .Malaria, to which the
Cure is n perfect antidoh.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to nil
whose constitutions have lu-i-n shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.

in thus formally announcing the Prospectus fu I
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragTapis

ilustrious patrons of progressive improvement in i
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Hi

Alabama's Industry, as demonstrated in the triuiuft#
success of tlie first Annual Fair of the Alabama f*
Agricultural Society, the Cotton ‘Planter “will(del
step backward” its progress is onward and vpwlt-itl
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor,s
j by the members of the Society, that the Flint® a

be unfettered in the great work of developing W

Every family in the country, whatever nisy “j
