►object to tie followed by chronic disease.
Bth. —Kepnomy of Isife.—As the cute is effected
before and without reducing tho patient, consequently
removing, iu a corresponding degree, alt danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might lie lidded, btit these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all clnsse* and persons in all londi
tions of life.
The above reasons are moth particularly applicalih) to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
*o the nature of the case at the time ills first adminis
leved.
As thi* remedy gives so prompt, effectual ami perma
nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when usisl soon after
the attack, jiersons can scarcely realize that they had
loen really much sick, mid very naturally conclude they
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—lt could havti been
nothing of censequence—it would have passed off witli
nut anything—that medicine had nueffeet.” The general
impression on-the subject of fever is such, that, thoughts
not unlike the .above follow the cure of a oummon case
a.- naturally as men think at all; ami it Is not until
the individual lias witnessed many cases that lie can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may cenelnde them
all very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful In perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there w ill cases occur where there is some
organic nr local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though successful in reducing the fever,
it will agudu rlsa as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
ugaitiHt disappointment 111 men eases that J have given
and frequently referto wlmt 1 have called a “synopsis.”
Remark* on fever* la Ueneral*
vlu this subject I wish to bo fully understood. Ily the
tartn “fevers,” l comprehend all febrile affection* to
winch the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise hy a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
uiul habits, they of course differ considerably in tliolr
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general < hariuU-r
----istlcH—that ot undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fn
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ae.
To show lliut l am nut wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
ol King's College, Loudon, whose work on the “Princi
ples and Practice Os Physic” Is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently staiulardaiilhorit g.
On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both iu
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, ltruin Fever,
Uilious Fever, Putrid Fever, lsiw Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to tho full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynnmlc, Uastro-KntcrJc, and
so lorth. Now, uduiilting that fever shows itself under
various forms. 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all tills sub-division, is hiul and hurtful. It
encourages a deposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe lor a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They rnu insensibly into each
other, even tho most dissimilar of them, nml are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
ami 1 would impress on 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
wilt lie well iustcuil of any distiuctchnrac.ter being devel
oped, so iu to h properly named hy the most scieutiiic.
This assertion is uo hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of tlie sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
tt'jr myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers, lint as eases may have be
come developed before tho “Fluid” Is riven, either by
neglect, or under souio other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to lie pursued in
nil of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ liulos”

accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.

Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re
peated as long as tlie lover continues, as in other eases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with tills subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the Indies, will save them much pain and sufleriug. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the lubor of much of its pains
aud difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Pa mini menstruation will bo relieved at once hy a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a void taken at adeliente time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
cffcctimi remedies formally of the ills of females, if not
tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritabllity of the nervous os well as the circulatory,
it will not force sleep liko opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally aud
healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To uvuid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the 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 he culled, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed ill order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
bo appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving tho “ Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, us they will then more readily art,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the -,Fluid” alone will sub
due tlie fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels arc costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, aud should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with dhu-rhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, tho
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if sevore 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 iu tlie head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and hutlie
the feet in hot water: if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, ‘with great suffering, spougo or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at au agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar iunl water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tie- medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou
ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted. give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iu abseuco of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced ; if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I 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” nnd a cathartic if
necessary : in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
us you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, ami success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
havo seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease
w ith which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at ft loss to know what is mount by
cathartics, Ae„ as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using tho Fluid, and (o be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz
tixtlinrt les.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowel*, sueli as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or bark*. and many pills, untibilions, Ac,: anything
known to he good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
lor tliis purpose, will answer when used in connection
with tlie “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu-
II lienee. And one may choose calomel—another. Mite
mass—tho third, podopltyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, unil so on: each may take his choice ami be suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Article* that give toue or strength, •such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
sot or thoroughwort is one of the best used in levels.
Astringents.—Such us chock the action of the
bow els, laudanum and other preparation* of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properlv astringents
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ae„ the essence* are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry i’l treating fevers, Uu-ugli many others lire generally
used, tint the Negative K.lcclrlc Fluid is a het'er “dia

ioriiisuf disease is owing principally to difference iu ago,
sex, constitution uud habits of the sufferers; hut as tlie
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is cotnpctout to overcome or rumove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
aud for every disease, ol’ cuusc of disease, there is a re

the following extraordinary results from its use :
11 wiM instantly check the ague in persons who havo

exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil

will entirely prevent tlie accession of

Biliett the introduction of tlie CUKE In every part of
tlie United States, its success has been ho complete and
unvarying tut to have fully proved these asaertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
fhtrodijetion, they Deemed Htcfedible to many, even of
tho must candid ntinds, because all the resources of
science had been taxed in vain to snhdue ague or bilious
diseases; and wlmt was still worse for ague sufferer*,
till their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited b) poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, Balicine, Ac.
Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse tiuui the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies sass, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are tuiperaddcd
to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should Is- particularly
c areful about using any secret Fever and Agne remedies,
notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert
they may bo 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 Remedy is not only valuable

Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire llai-inle**ne**,
Tho tollowing certificate from ouc of tlie most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle:
Ntw York, Juno 11, 1355.
“1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
ami Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine ami Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it. nor have I found
any substance iu its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that thin Remedy is
destined not only to relieve tho human family from
malarious diseases, hut to do unequally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to tlie diseases baing produced hy one ani
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves l>y the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in their Veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take ttie Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions nnd advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by n 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 antibilions 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 tlie biliary passages. Kemember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it Must up taken
or the operation of the antidote will lie seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution,— hi certain specified eases, poin
tin'contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plate*,) and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tlie
ami also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medieinc. (tlie copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions me
taken to prevent eounterfeits and imitations.

U A Vl.\u noticed th* certillcato of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. K. Chilton,
ol New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it eoiiiaiued neither Quiuine, Arsenic, Ater

plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. f ßhodes
tor the medirhie. f*lneo then I have disposed of a large

Since tht lime I have not had a single chill, and am

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Fept. 25, 1855.
Air. J. A. Rhodes,—Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
tlie value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
iu 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 aud lias not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam sumo time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. l ours truly,
Rov. A. C. DCBOIS.
I'nsullclted Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
ot Medicine hero 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 succors. Respectfully yours,
W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. K„ Ga., Jan. 1, 1860.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been lully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired uie to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. ‘ \\. A.IIAYLES.
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 into every town and village
iu the United Ftates, Canadas, A-c. 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 tlie Cure on commission. They thought its groat
claims ar pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters
of which I 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 everattended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as 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 Yollow Fever, or any form of disease urising
from the atmospherle 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 anil strength to all
w hose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.

AMERICAN COTTON PLANTI
FOR 1856.
THE Fourth Volume of U;e American Cotton Plan
will commence with tlie January number.
In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraph
add, sanguine iu the belief that, with the intelligent,
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the PI
ing States, and especially Alabamians, the past histor
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In the first place, we remark to our friends and reai
that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become the l’uhl
er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our read
emphatically, that in future the Cotton Planter shal
sue promptly by the first day of each month.
Flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibit!-
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in the triumph
success of the first Annual Fair of tho Alabama SI
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will take
step backward” its progress ia onward and upward tu
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor,
by the members of the Society, that the Planters
Farmers, the Mechanic* and Manufactures of Alaha
will rally en masse to the support of Alabama's only
clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the
bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency 1
be unfettered in the great work of developing the
measurable resource* of tlie Keystone State of the So
“ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Mom
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” the object of the An
can Cotton Planter is to
“ Improve tke Soil anil the Mind.’
With a corps of correspondents, numbering man
tho most practical as well as scientific minds of the 80
we feel assured we shali be able to visit onr patrons
the first of each month, to their entire satisfaction
profit.
Every family iu the country, whatever msy be tl
avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper:
cause there is no reading matter published to the a
so innocent, and at the same time so practically pio
ble iu all the walks of life as tliatobtained inagoodi
cultural Periodical. The American Cotton Planter
issue promptly by the first day of the month. It wu
uniformly printed in magazine style, on good white
per, with new and fair type, securely stitched audit
