NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. W. gent, M. U.
CeitMin* why it should be used instead of any other trout- |
mi nt in all Febrile affections:
I * (ICcoiioiiiy of Time,—Ax only oneserenth
of tin 1 ordinary time ix required to effect n cure.
td.Bronomy of Money.—Ax it cut# but one
dollar.
•Ird.—Economy of Eeelln|j.-Aj! it save* tho
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment ; tile annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but lillle of the fluid lieing necessary,
and tlial. pleasant 111 it* effects.
ttl. — Keonomy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
stli. — Keonomy of Health. —Ax the system
is not reduced, and consequently raeked; nor ix tlfo fever
subject to be followed liy chronic disease.
titti.—Keonomy of Llfr.—As the cure iseffected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, In a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might lie added, but these are deemed
sutUcient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons arc more particularly applicable to
tin* immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal foven to ctuieN which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
•o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
\s tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used Soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they fuel
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli> y
wer- not altuckod with fever, and If so, “it was trifling
-a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have lieen
nothing of eenseqnence—lt would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had imoffoct.” The general
impression on the subject of lover is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above fill low the cure of 11 common case
a* naturally as men think at all: and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very hiding cases, which would have readily yielded
io any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been ihus successful in perhaps hutidrcdH of eases, must
expert that there wil, eases occur where there is some
organic or mcnl cause so great as to require particular
attention or though Hiiccess ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise ns the Influence of the “Fluid” passes
off. ax the exciting cause uisy still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in surn cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.”
licinnrks on Fevers In General*
On this subject 1 wixli to he fully understood. Ily the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but ax they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, tin y of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or typos;
yet all undistinguished hy the same general character
istics—that u undue excitement in tho circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not. wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, 1 quote from the celebrofed I’rof. T. Watson,
ol King's College, London, whose work on tho “ Princi
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthorily.
On p go Slit, he says Wo hoar coutinuall i, both m
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, llraiu Fever,
lliliOus Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucoui Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uoslro-Euteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that lever shows itself under
various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this subdivision, is bud and hurtful, it
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
lit! ■ of geuuiiio distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They rnn Insensibly into each
other, even the m st dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would imprestoa your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you self about a “name;” If you have
lovor, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well .nstead of uny distinctcharactcr being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions nr visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, ill hundreds, ayo, thousands of eases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climate*. Bear this in mind,
and trout lit once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous Covers. Hut as cases may have be
come developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as to icily as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ Rules’
and -Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those
aocustomed to attendance upou the sick.
Bales important to be observed in all cases in using the
Xcyativc Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in tlirco or four times its own
quantity of water, and may bu sweetened or not at
pleasure.
ltd. Patients must bo free from nil currents of nir,
(though there aliouldalways be free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
lid. it must bo continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it
begins to rise agaiu, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
Ith. Whou the fever begins to subside, patients must
lie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their oum 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 limy inuy feel more or less interested, but be left
quiei to all intents and purposes.
stli. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, Hildas long as 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.
Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in llio lying posture, so its to occasion a
restlessness after tlm fever lues 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 sere and
breast may be bathed in eobl water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a tcaspooiiful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require us much ax young, or those in (lie prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much a* males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children- those often years of age frequently having
taken lull doses; I ait for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with tlie remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, tlm medicine w ill
lie found agreeable in all of Its effects, the expectation*
of the most sanguine realized, ami many perfectly
astonished. My olffect iu Isiiug thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
not on account of liny actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Kemittcut Fever,
Uive a teasponfnl of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till Urn fever is evidently passing off: this
constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple eases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in I lie
••Rules.” Hut should there bo prominent local syntp
, turns, or know n local existing causes, they should lie
’ ntteudod to at once, aud while giving tlie “Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in any ease the I- wel* are particularly constipated
or confined, give a i v.hurtle (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must bo opened or the fever mav rise
agaiu.
Whets the fevor is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and tlm patient is not particularly susceptible
tci tlte influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two tcaspoousful
may bo given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine lias taxen effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an Hgreoable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in tlieso difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
Ihu medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teasp >ousful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full snd soft, then only a tea
suoouful. to be discontinued as the fever subsidei. Ax
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the ” Fluid’’ aud repeat ax may be neces
sary till It operates; enemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage, also mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the bands or flannel; also, cold
anplicitions t* the head. Quinine may be added to the
•• Field” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Xtrvous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever,
As those fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, living all of a low grade, the pulse
s nail and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
n > pracdoal u-e in separating them—at least so far as
nay treatment U concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
c imptratively little, ax they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
Tho treatment should lie commenced—which tuay
immodlately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of- Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
become fuller or lager in volume, then to be oontinued
*uco in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subside*.
In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine j
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or home tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should lie added to each ‘lose. The
bowels should Is: kept gently tqien, and Miiall portion*
of some hepatic should lie given occasionally, even
though the bowds should be very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and muciUigenoux
drinks—such ax are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skin 1x very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonit x should lie used during couvalexcenee, iu all rases
which have heroine reduced.
Pneumonia, Typltolil Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(live a teaspoon! ul of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of ft strong decoction of bonexet; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, r.uy once in six or eight hours.
The bon-sot tea should bo given warm till tho violent
symptom* arc ulluyed, or the patient ix relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard pla-ter. or something ol
tho kind, Ui ho applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola ami .'scarla
tina | or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
Ax nil of these diseases are attended with lever, which
in fact is tlm most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevei.-. Remember
never wait to learn tlm “name,” whether it ix one or the
other, or neither, ns they all commence with freer , l ot
treat It at once; govern tho fever anil there will be no
trouble; there will be but tittle eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will bo regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there ix no necestdij ol
itx running its ordinary course. Uu Ibis ! will slake
not only my reputation, but all tlial 1 bold most dear;
besides, on tins subject, i have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie number oj the pustides by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
bu done. I nave not only proven it may l,e, lint has
been done in numerous eases that occurred on board
ship. See tbs account appended.
(live a teaspoonful or more, according to tlio urgency
ol the ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repent tlm
Fluid mice in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should be given aud repeated sufficiently to keep
the lever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and tile
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Ducliesxd’Orleuns, the tongue
and (miens were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on It is tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when ii was given in teaspoonful doses < or// hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the tlinoat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve bniirs by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in ull such cases.
Puerperal or ('hihllicit Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is iiable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with sucii readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as the l'-ver continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
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 and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. Jn child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must bo tried Io lio appreciated.—
Painful niciistrnalkiu will ho relieved at once by a com
mon doso and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use ; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tile most Hoofany medicine known, iis effect is uniform,
riduxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and irilability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; lienee its use in so muiiy cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much us possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tho Negative Electric Fluid
will cliango tile condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
mime it may boor ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic .or local causes, which,
whou such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When sum indications occur in any case, they should
bo appropriate means, and these solml l be given while
giving tlie “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will 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, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
u mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of latter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and batho
the feet in hot water; if Hie fever is very high, skin
dry mid hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iii absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on Hie Stomach
to do any goad; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm wider, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose: when the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” mid a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, amt then you will be astonished at tlie ease
with wliich you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Burtics may feel at a loss to know wlmt is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all. I will name a lew of tlie different ‘net ides of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz,:—
t'n t hurl tea.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bow els. Kiieli as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the root*
or harks, and many pills, antibilhuis, ,Ve.; anything
known to be good forsueli purposes.
ll<■]>;!tics. —Anything known to net outlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and accretions generally.
Any of tlie articles depended on by the different schools
for thin purpose, will answer when usefi in connection
with tlie “ Fluid” or while tlie system is under its lti
tluemv. And one may choose calomel—-another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and mi on; enrli may take his choice mid lie suc
cessful.
Tunics.— Article* that give tone or strength, such
iix quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herb*, lio
sec or tliorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Aat I’i iigcut a. Snell a* cheek tile fiction of the
IxiW’clr. Isuidanum aud other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
whieli have tho effect.
Stimulant a.—Articles tlial raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences ure all more
or less stimulating. These are tlie only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though ninny others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “ dia
phoretic.” “anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known ill tho materia motion.
1 shall not tax the reader with along list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the

which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
We took passage on tho packetsliip Duchess d'Orlcan*.
Oapt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, Franco',
snd bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of An
gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tile small
pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, with
anew remedy of hi* own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in n few hours, ami curing
iu a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-uiuc days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox,some fever.
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine ned by Dr. Seat on the oc
ca-toti, possesses inestimable virtue’s. We never before
beard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much case, promptness aud certainty, or so little
I trouble to ihe nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, aud not a death: The
fact speaks for itself.

ri HI EM, diseases are common to many localities of the
X t-ilit—l .-tauw; but wherever they-prevail, North,
South, East or West, they ull equally spring from the
same iiii Lsiual cause. The great variety ot symptoms und
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution und habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is tlie same, they will ull equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
ami for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
ag’ iit, or it, other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether iiio-ing from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal und vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is tin some in character and effect; is a poi
son flouting in the atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posite*. there is In tho preparation before us, offered to
the public,
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes tlm poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it. even in the open air, anil when tuken inter
nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, und thus restores and preserves
health.
Tlie remedy is believed to bo entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following 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; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or up no diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility’ and filiglif Sweats,
which so often follow tlie administration of other niede
cities. The patient at once begins to reever 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 the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may be 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 tlie introduction of the CLiiK in every part of
tho United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying ns to have fully proved these assertions in
favor, of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made at the date of its
ilitrodiict.on, they seemed incredible to many, even of
tlm most candid minds, because all Hie resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all tlicir remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saliciue, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On tliis account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is*
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, ax a proof that Ihe Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Enfirc Itarmlessncss,
The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated
chemists in tlie United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle:
New Y'ork, June 11, 1855.
••1 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 in it, nor have I found
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, but to do an equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Keme.,y not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of diseaso is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one anl
tlie same cause, and therefore all. both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itseli in a violent
attack. Take the Cure ns a preventive, und so destroy
tlie poison before it does harm.
Full directions aud advice as to diet and habits 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 this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tlie
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of the antidote will lie seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in
sleeping rooms ; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud iieatroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlie apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise he
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie
words. “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cure” blown in tlie
glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie
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. These
will be considered sufficient.

See what the President of the Pharmaceutical Society
of .Missouri, sa.vs of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria:
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given hy Hie celebrated chemist Dr. J. It. Chilton,
of New York city, in i'aver of Rhodes’ Fever und Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, 1 was induced to send to Dr.
for the 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. I am,
therefore, satisfied ill recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, hut
worthy woman, who has not been fre c from Feveraud

plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever nnd Ague
Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re

have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent
an order to Ames A Uulliday for another half gross of
your Feveraud Ague Cure. It has sold like “ IlotOakes,”
and 1 have only two buttles on hand. One reason it
hus sold, is because when I have heard of a 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. I had one case
of Cliill Fever where it run four days, hut the man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Mb. James A. Rhodes—Dear Sir —The box of “Ague
Cure” you sent us lias all been sold nnd created a large
demand for more; to meet which we have ordered
from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.
Its sale will only lie equalled by the number of Fever
and Ague eases. Hoping these cases may be few, yet
have a bottle for every case.
We remain respectfully yours,

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.
Maxwell. Delaware Cos.. Ohio, Aug. 19, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your medicine has met

Rut not a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out
of tlie article l wish you would forward me one gross of
the bottles, if you see proper to do so, und I will be
punctual in payment. I inclose fifteen dollars on tlie
medicine 1 have received, for which please send me a

Dll. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your Cure for tlie Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not
failed in one instance to effect a quick anil permanent

dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 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
mouths 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 had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur m idicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N.
Howe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in

Evidence from n Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
tho value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
iu tlie 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 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.
Monticello. Tnd., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine. having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
’ ‘ W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1850.
Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who hus 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. ‘ IV. A.IIAYLES.
If any liody desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
dueeil ns rapidly as possiblo into every town and village
in tiio United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. 11 is therefore optional witli all to have
the Fever nnd Ague or not, just as they please.
1 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
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them nil. and it will lie noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish su h immense quantities are 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 ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning Glory
of the Cure Lx its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during tlie warm und 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 tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
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 by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor nnd de
bility orany kind of intemperance or dissipation.

AMERICAN COTTON PLANTER
FOR 1856.
IMIE fourth Volume of the American Cotton Planter,
. will commence with the January number.
In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for the
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs to
add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, in
dustriouß patrons of progressive improvement in the
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Plant
ing States, and especially Alabamians, the past history ol
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In the first place, we remark to our friends and readers
that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become the Publish
er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our readers,
emphatically, that in future the Cotton Planter shall is
sue promptly by the first day of each month.
flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibition ol
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in the triumphant
success of the first Annual fair of the Alabama State
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will take ni
atep backward’’ its progress is onward and upward to the
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and
by the menrbers of the Society, that the Planters and
farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama,
will rally en masse to the support of Alabama’s only (ex
clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the Ala
bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may
be unfettered in the great work of developing the im
measurable resources of the Keystone State of (lie South.
“ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy. Manufac
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” the object of the Ameri
can Cotton Planter is to
“ Improve tile Soil anil tlie Mind.”
With a corps of correspondents, numbering many of
the most practical as well as scientific minds of the South,
we feel assured we Khali be able to visit our patrons on
the first of each month, to their entire satisfaction and
profit.
Every family in the country, whatavermsy he their
avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper; be
cause there is no reading matter published to the world
so innocent, and at the same time so practically profita
ble in all the walks of life as that obtained in a good agri
cultural Periodical. Tire American Cotton Planter will
issue promptly by tire first day of the month, it will be
uniformly printed in magazine style, on good white pa
per, with new and fair type, securely stitched and trim
