NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prt'|mred by 5. VV. Scat, #l. U. Keasous why it should be used instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affections : Ist.— Economy of Time. —As only one-seventh of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. Id.—Economy or Money.—As it c >ts but one dollar. Economy of Feeling;.— ■As it saves tho suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. 4th. — Kconoiny 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. i>tl.—Economy of Health. —As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to lie followed by chronic disease. tit li. — Economy of Life. —As the cure iseffected before and without reducing tile patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might he added, hut these are deemed Hufltoieut to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. Tlie ahovo reasons turn more particularly uoplicalde to tlie immediate treatment on tho first altio a, hut will apply with equal force to cnees which hove been subject ed to or have become reduced, cor responding of course ‘o the nature of the case at tho time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and penna I lent relief, in nil ordinary cases, when used soon afier the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they laid tieon really much sick, and very naturally conclude they were not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘-it was trifling —a little cold, which gate alarm—it could huvo been nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out unythiiig—that medicine had noeffeot.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case ns naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that ho can fully realise the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to nny simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful In perhaps hundreds of cases, must expert that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though succeislul in reducing tho fever, it will again rise os the influence of the “Fluid” passes off, as tliu exciting cause may still oxist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases tliat 1 have given and frequently refer to what I have called u “synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers In General’ On tills subject 1 wish to be fully understood. Ity the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers ; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of courso differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;, yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that ol 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 1 am not wholly alone in tho opinion l advance, X quote from the celehrafed Prof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, llrain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uustro-Enterlc, and no forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that tho effect upon the mind of all this suli-division, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can he rolled on. They run insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami I 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 will be well instead of nny distinct character being devel oped, so os to he properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under n 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 soon be freed from nil dread of linger ing and dangerous fevors. But as cases may have be come developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly na possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ Itules” and “ Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Hales important to he observed in all cases in usiny the, Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. ‘2d. Patients must bo 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. 3d. It must lie continued whenever tho fever subsides, or is evidently passing oft'; to ho resumed when it begins to rise again, should such ho the ease under any circumstances. 4th. When tho fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not ho questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, rend or take any exercise whatever, till thou own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should auv conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as tho 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. 6th: Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tho lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little Wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tho face and breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ oto 15 “ “ - “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30 “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “ “ “ s “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered ns adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is lio particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule children require more than adults in proportion. Uy observing the above directions, the medicine will ho found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and manv perfectly astonished. My object in being tints particular is, that tlie lull benefit ot tho medicine niav bo obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ols sorvauces. Dillons or Keinlttent Fever. (live a tcasponftil of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tho fever is evidently passiug oil; this constitutes the whole treatment in till simple rases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in I lie itules.'’ But should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should he attended to at once, and while giving tho “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. if ill any case the 1> wels are particularly constipated or confined, give a uliartic (see auxiliaries) with the first iiortion ; they la Ist be opeued or the fever niav 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 teaspoonsful may ho given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—lias uot been softened, thus showing the medicine lias taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreoable temperature, the Buliuo wash, vinegar or spirits amt water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two tiaspoonstul and repeat every two hours till the pulso becomes more full and soil, then only a tea spoonful, to he discontinued as the fever subside). As •bo bowels are generally confined, and it Is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease, no time should he lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the ‘ Fluid’’ and repeat as may ho neces sary till it operates; enemas (iujections) may also he used to advantage; also. . ustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold npjilicationH to the head.

The j bowels should lie kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should ho given occasionally, even though the bowels should bo very loose. Tlie patient should he sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous drinks—such a* are in common use in such cases.— Where tlie skin is very dry, sponging tlie surface as di rected in bilious fever, will he found advuntagoous. Tonics should ho used during convalescence, in all cases Which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give u teaspoonful of tlie “Fluid” every two hours, witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueaet; or half the quantity muy he given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. Tlie hoiiesct tea should ho given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to he appliod over the seut of jsiiu; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Kuheula and Scarla tina; or Small Fox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended witli fever, which in fuel is (lie most prominent symptom, tlie treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Kenieniber never wait to learn tho “name,” whether it is one or tho oilier, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut treat it at once; govern tlie fever and there will he no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will he regarded with ridicule by many, i nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will he cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and tliat there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, imt uli that 1 hold most dear; besides, on tills subject, 1 have good authority; that of l’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lio says, page 874: “ Yon may abate the force of tiie eruptive lever, und keep down, it Is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tliat it may lie dniio. 1 nave not only proven it may he, lint has been done in numerous cases tliat occurred on hoard ship. See the account appended. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of tiie case, with u dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; hut it should he given and repealed sufficiently to keep tlie fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tiie ordinary gargles may he used, and tlie surface bullied, as thought advisable. In one case, on tho ship Duchess d’Orleans, tiio tongue anil Caucus were so much swollen tliat the patient could not swallow’ or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The 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 gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Klectric Fluid witli such reudiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, us the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re peated as long as tiie fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should he attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tlie ladies, will save them much pain ami suffering. 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 tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring, llestlessness, 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 the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tho whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous us well as tho circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will Booth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As tho Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may be or ought to lie called, 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 be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should ho appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving the “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 tlie fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (seo auxili aries) with tho first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to he good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition: if SDVttl’O local I l’ain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tlie part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlie feet in hot water; if tlie lever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie 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 tlie medi cine in tukiug effect, after which there will he no trou ble ; if the patieut 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 tlie pntient has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach to do any good; for this purposo 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomacli; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give tlie “ F'uid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat till the prominent symptoms s you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at the same time us directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will he astonished at the case 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 are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz : Cat hart Ics.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hcpatica.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation ami secretions generally Any of the articles depended on by the different schools lor this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be sues cesstul. Toulon.—Articles that give touo or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set. or thoroughwort is one of the lies! used in fevers. Aalr Indent a.—Such as check the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents wiiiiii have the effect. Mt umlauta.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; giugei, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are ail more or less stimulating. Those are the only classes uecessa ry in treating levers, though many others are generally used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is better “dia phoretic, “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and sedative than known in tlie materia viatica. 1 shall not tax the reader witli a long list of proofs depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, tliat on the Parketslilp Duchess D’Orleans. which cunuot ho classed among ordinary certificates• We, the undersigned, certify to tlio'following, viz— We took passage on tho packetsliip Duchess d'Orleans Cupt liutton, tlien lying in the port of Havre. France’, mid bound for New York, She sailed on the 9th of Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the stuail pox broke out among tlie emigrants, They were all treated by tlie physician in charge,Dr. N. W. Scat, witli anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control over tlie disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in a very short time. _ During tlie voyage, which lasted thlrtv-nino davs, there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever Ac., and not a single death. All were cured witli imu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced tliat the medicine used by I)r. Seat on tlie oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of live sufferers; hut us the cause is tiie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy tliat is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Hy the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. Ail .Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character ami effect; is a poi son (loafing In tlie atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tlie preparation before us, offered to tho public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it conies in con tact with it, even in the open air, arid when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected hy it of its baneful influence, uud thus restores and preserves health. Tlie remedy is believed to lie entirely new, und un known to any hut tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: it will instantly check tlie ague in persons who have suffered tbr any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will he effected; tlie 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 ague diseases, und when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of Geuerul Dcliility and Aigid Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other inede cinos. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use F'cver and Ague limy he banished from every family and class in tlie 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 the introduction of the CURE 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. When these declarations were made, at tlie 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, the. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded to tlie poor sufferer's first complaint. On tliis account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the 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 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 anti Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New Y’ork, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ F’ever 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 1 found any substance in its composition tliat would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is 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 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 tho diseases being produced by one mil the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use of tliis preventive, and not wait for the poison already linking in their veins to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tho Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and 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 autibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleans,-the stomacli and free tiie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or tlie operation of tlie antidote will he seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, ponr the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tlio air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate witli its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise lie resorted to when very young infants aro exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tlie glass, ami on tho outside wrapper is tho 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. Tliesc will be considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES. Providence, R. I, F’or sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS A CO., February 10, 1850. ly Druggists.

One reason it has sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague or Chill F'cver, 1 have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay lor it, and they were all satisfied. I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but tho man came to see mo on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 21 Bottles Perform 34 Cures.

Wo remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS A ALLEN. 19 Bottles Perform 19 Cures. LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER. Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19, 1855. Mr. J. A.

Some who have been troubled with the distress ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATHROP A 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 Isthmu sf Panama, several months since, and in spite of th • different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal l j grew worse until I commenced the use of your F'ever 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. In another column of to-day’s paper will he 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 Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg. who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a 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 tlie family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a RAfv 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 trulv, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., 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, 1856. Your Ague Cure has 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. IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CUKE, which is being intro dueed as rapidly as possible into every town and village in tlie United States, Canadas, &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 F'ever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its groat claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will he noticed that the letters of which l publish su li 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. Tlie Croxvning'Glory of tiie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected hy using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly seie sons, uot a mail womnu or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of F’ever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow F'ever, or any form of disease arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlio 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 liavc been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor aud de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.

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 dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in the Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, -Manufactures of the Plant ing States, and especially Alabamians, the past history ot the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation. In the first place, we remark to our friends and read™ that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become the Publish er und 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 tlie triumphant success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama State Agricultural Society, the Cotton Plunter “ will take m step 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 members of tlie Society, that the Planters and Farmers, the Mechanics aud Manufactures of Alabama, will rally eu 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 tlie im measurable resources of the Keystone State of tlie South. “ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Manufac tures and the Mechanic Arts,” tlie object of tlie Ameri can Cotton Planter is to “ Improve tlie Soil and tlie Mind.” With a corps of correspondents, numbering many of tlie most practical as well as scientific minds of the South, we feel assured we shali be able to visit our patrons on the first of eacli month, to tlieir entire satisfaction and profit. Every family in tlie country, whatavor msy be tlicir avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper; la cause there is no reading matter published to tlie world so innocent, and at tlie same time so practically profita ble in all the walks of life as that obtained in a good agri cultural Periodical.
