The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate trenlmont on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject 'd In or have become reduced, corresponding of course *o the nature of the ease at the time it is lirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual anil perma nent relief, in ail ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they hud been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tlc y were not attacked with lever, and if so. “it was trilling a little cidd. which gave alarm —It could have been nothing of consequence—it would lia\e passed off with out a thing—that medicine had noeflect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow tbs cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; umi 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 biffing cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, y t persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is Home organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though Biiccesslul in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid’ passes oil. as tlie exciting cause may still exist. It is to guuril against disappointment in sum eases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers in General (hi this subject I wish to lie fully understood. By the Lerm “fevers,” 1 comprehend nli febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut ns they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of tbnns or tyiies; yet all are distinguished by (lie same general character istics—that, of undue excitement in tho circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skill, debility, Ac. To show Hint 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whoso work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physio” is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. tin page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of lever spo ken of. Ily tlie public, Typhus Fever, Ilium F'ever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers aro to the full as particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (lastro-Flnteric, mid so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various firms, i am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of nil this sub-division, is hart and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe lor a disease according to itH name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of thorn, mid are often traceable to t lie same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ mime;” If you have lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you mill l>e will instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as 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 side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself uml others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear Ibis in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and daugoroiiH levers, lint as cases may have be come developed before the ” Fluid” Is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in ell of the most prominent fevers, though tlie “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Rules important to be observed in nil cases in using the. Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. 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 be free from all currents of air, (though there should always bo free ventilation in tlie sickroom,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence, 3d. it must bo continued whenever tiio lever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begin in rise again, should such be the cose under any circumstances. ■lth. When tlie fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all exoitoment; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their oi on natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak : nor should any conversation bo allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or loss interested, but be left qulel to all intents and purposes. stli. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the putieut desires aud 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. nth. Should patients experience anv oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so tie to occasion a restlessness after the lever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to sp. uk of it, they should liuvo a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemouude with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant ; or thofkceanu breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

There is no particular care necessary in giving it to cliitdrei -those of ten -sos age frequently lining taken full doses: but foi it tie guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion.

My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit Os the medicine way obtained and not on account of any actual necessity ot such strict ob servances. HillotiH or Remittent Fever.

V III iota, Varioloid, Hubeolu and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases aro attended with fever, which in fart is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn tho “ /nine,” whether it is oue or the other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut treat it at once; govern the fever and there wilt he no trouble; there will h e irut tittle eruption even iu small pox. This, to most minds, is u new idea, and doubtless will lie-regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated us I direct, will be cut shnii ; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will slake not only my reputation, hut all that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, J have good authority; that of Prufc Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “ Von may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number nf the pustules by spline purges, &c.” Hero is the admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has Item done in ‘numerous cases that occurred on hoard ship. >Vo the account appended. (live a teospooiilul or more according to tlie urgency oi the ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—l bough one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should ho given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. in one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, tin tongue and fuucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or Hpeak. and he was cured by dropping tho Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when il was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till ail alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gurgle in all such cases. Puerperal 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 littlo consequence. A single dose or two of u tensjioonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re peated as long as the lever continues, as iu other cases. Tlie bow els of course should he attended to. In connection with this subject, i 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 iu many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must tie tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will he relieved at once by a com mon dose andretiriug. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient and effect uai remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that oue can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, aud condense tlie treat ment us much as possible, l give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue aud control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to he called, it should he given wliorover or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soliuld he given while giving tho “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 he lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alono will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended w ith diarrhoea, give something known to he good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, u mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlie feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or botlio the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or (spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the 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, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and tt cathartic if necessary; iu 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, and then you will he astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age, sex, constitution and habits of tint sufferers; hut as the cause is tlie sable, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. ily the laws of Nature, every pi inciple has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All .Malaria, whether ui ising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there iB in the preparation before us, offered to tile public, The Nlnturul Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in tlie open air, ajid when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. ‘I he remedy is believed to lie entirely new, and un known to any bnt the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its uso: It will instantly check tho ague in persons who have suffered tor any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tion-, a radical cure will he effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint tor ever; unless subsequent exposure lb 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 ague diseases, and when tho disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. liy its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and class in the community; fanners, 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 tlie year. Since the introduction of the CURB in every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at tho date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlie most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, &c„ 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 he particularly careful about usiug any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may he 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 on account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Ilarmlessness, The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists ill the United States has been obtained, and 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 Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine, and Strychnine, hut have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JAMES R. CIIILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, hut 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 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 being produced by one and the 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 itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice ns to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often he found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tho very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will he seriously ob structed. Only Cant ion. —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or moro bottles of the 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 destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the 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 the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tlie gla- s. and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tho 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 ho considered sufficient.

Rhodes —Having been entirely eured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Istliniu .sf Panama, several months since, and in spite of th • different remedies aud treatment l adopted, my heal l .'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 medicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. I u another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Win.

This proves the medi cine to he good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. ’ Evidence from it Clergyman. 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 tamlly ot a clergyman here has been takiug an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until lie got abottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in tlie 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, 1856. Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tho CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent, chem ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters ot which I publish su Ii 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 Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tho 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 and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.

In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for tlie Fourth Volume, we have hut a few short paragraphs to add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, in dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in the Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Plant ing States, and especially Alabamians, the past history ui tlie Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.

Flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibition nl 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 nr, step backward” its progress is onward und upward to tlie highest niche of improvement. It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and by the members of the Society, that the Planters and Farmers, tlie Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama, will rally ou masse to tlie 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 tlie great work of developing tlie im measurable resources of the Keystone State of the South. ” Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy.
