NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared I>y N. W. Sent, M. I>.
Reasons why it should bo used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections:
. at Ueouotny of Time. —As only one-seventh
of l lie ordinary time is retiuirod to effect a cure.
id.—Kcoiioiuy of Money. — As it c ads but one
dollar. ,
:tvd.—Economy of FeelllX* —As it saves the
mitering of a long sickness and tho consequent treat
ment ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses ot
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
I,>ult confinement; hut tittle ot the fluid being unceesnry,
amt that pleasant in its effects.
4til.— Economy of Thought.— As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxioty at present
existing, respecting fehrilo affections; particularly while
II dear friend is sick.
sth.—Economy of Hcultli. -As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nter is the fever
subject to lie followed by chronic disease.
tit h.—Kcuinnny of JLtfe. —As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, nil danger of a fatal
termination.
Otlior reasons might be added, but these ale deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The übove reasons are more particularly applicable t
tho 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 tbe timo it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon alter
the attack, persons can scarcely realize tlint they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
werj not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘'it was trilling
-a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—lt would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had nooffect.” The general
Impression on the subject of feve. is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
us naturally us men think at nil; ami it is not until
the individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully
realise the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very biffing 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 will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to requiro particular
attention, or though success ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as tho influouce of tho “Fluid” passes
off. as tho exciting causo may still exist. Jtis to guard
against disappointment in such cuses that l have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
lit-marks on Fevers in General*
On this subject I wish to he fully understood. By the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which *'ie human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eiaptlve fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
ami habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or typos;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics —that oi 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 iildne in the opinion I
udviinco, I quote from tho oelebrafed Prof. T. Watson,
of King’B College, London, whose work on tho “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently >’ nidard authority.
On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, l>oth in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to tile full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gostro-Knteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows ‘tself under
various forms, I um persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division. Is had and hurtful. It
oucourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
scribe for a disease according to its name. Thera is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can ho relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even tho most dissimilar of them, anil tire often
traceable to thesamo cause.”
The above is u great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would imprest on your miuds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you self about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so as io bo properly named by the most seientitlc.
This assertion 1” no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, uye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under u great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons ami climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as discs may have be
come developed belore the ” Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly os possible the proper course to bo pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ ltules”
aud “ Synopsis” will lio amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Hides important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It Should bo give., ill three or four times its own
quautity of water, ami may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
ad. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always ho free ventilation iu the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must he continued whenever the fever Buhsidos,
or is evidently passiug off; to bo resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such bo the case under nny
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patiouts must
l>o left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or toko any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak: nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
6th. Fluids slum! Ibo allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, Hildas long as the patient desires and uo
longer; they may cousist 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 tho lying posture, so ns to occasion a
restlessness after tho fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face nml
breast may be 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 t and under 2 yean, “ 6to 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 80 “
“ & “ 10
15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teupoonfhl is a common dose. Old perse ns do not
require as much as young, or those iu the prime of life;
nor females, us a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those of ten years of ag, 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.
lly observing the above directions, ttie medicine will
bo found agieeablo in all of its effects, tho expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perl'i tly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may tie obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Hiltons or Remittent Fever.
Hive a teaspouful or “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes tbe whole treatment in till simple eases of
lever, with such observances us are set forth iu the
“ Rules.” But should there ho prominent local svmp
t ms. or known local existing causes, they should he
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
If in any ease the 1. wets are particularly constipated
or routined, give a . .it hurtle (see auxiliaries) w ith the
first portion : they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, aud 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 be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in tvo hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits aud
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congcsilrc Fever.
Hive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonfhi. to he discontinued ns tlie fever subside). As
the bowels are generally confined, and It is frequently
very difficult t get medicine to operate iu this disease
t; ■ ‘itiH Sh >uld be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
saty ti.. it operates; enemas (Injections) umy also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities or
friction;rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also cold
applications to tlio heud. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable, gee Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade the mils!,
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
uo practical use iu separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevem.

In bad cases, from tbreutofive grains each of quinine

lant (ecu auxiliaries) snould ho added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions
o’ some hepatic should ho given occasionally, even
though the bowels should he very loose. The patient
should bo sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
driiiks-r-sucli as are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skin Im very dry, sponging the surface us di

Tonics should housed during convalescence, iu all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung

Hive a tcaspoontul of the “Fluid” every two hours,
witii a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boncset; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
Tho boneset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over tbe seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Knheolu and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and (Scarlet. Fever.
As ul I of these ills 1 uses are attended with fever, which
in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, tho treatment
differs bun little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with Jever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will he but little eruption even in Hiuall
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that sinull pox, if treated ns
1 direct, will be cut short; attended with hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course, tin this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but u l that I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“You may ahato the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
ho done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. Fee the account appended.
(live a tcnspuonfu! or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub
sides—though one cr two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should Ire given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the th.out is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may bo used, and ihe
surface bathed, us thought advisable.
1 none ruse, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were go much swollen that tho patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on ills tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
wln n ii was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
ull alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment In about twelve hours by the F’iuid alone. —
Used to wot tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle iu all such cases.
Puerperal or CHildlieti Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid witii such readiness, us 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 be entertained, as tiro
Fluid will arrest it ill a short time. It should he re
peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection witii this subject, 1 cunuot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
ia to inform them of tilt* happy effect of the Fluid in
many ofthoir trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
aud difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose aud retiring. Itestlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cjld taken at adelicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of tho 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 the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep liito opiates, hut : t will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much es possible, 1 give under this head goueial
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 he or ought to l>e culled, it should ho giien
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be 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
he nppropi late means, and these soliuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and io connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will t’>en be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
due tho fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
if the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tho first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat tho dose: if attended
witii diarrliuea, give something known to bo good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, pel-imps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe
tlie feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry amt hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou
ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics aud stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iu 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 tlie stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“Fluid” at tho same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at tlie ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have lound no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of tho different urtides of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics.— Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, suits, senna, any of tin roots
or barks, and many pills, antihlllous, Ac.; anything
known to l>o good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything know,, to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the ‘different schools’
lor this purpose, will answer when used in connection
witii 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 suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles thatglvo tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone
se: or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.— Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
Stimulants. —Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best:
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry ill treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but tho Negative Electric Fluid is a hot'er “dia
phoretic.” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative than known in the materia tnedica
1 shall not tax tho reader with a long list of proofs
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packet lilp Due liras D’Orleans.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates’
Me, the undersigned, certify to the” following, viz—
M e took passage on the packotship Duchess d’Orleans
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France’
and I'OUmi for New York. She sailed on the fith of Au
gust, lSol, with over n hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tlie small
pox broke out among the emigrants. They were nil
treated by the physician in charge,Dr. X. AV. Seat with
anew remedy of hfs own. which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time. B
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine davs,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fiver
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 used by I>r. Feat on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. M e never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to tho nunc. A crowded ship, a long: passace,
small pox and fever on board, aud not a death.’ The
fact speaks for itself.

flMlt> J. diseases ail! common to many localities of the
1 United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, Last or West, they all equally spring from the
some tniasnial cause. The great variety ot symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution anil habits of tlie sufferers; but as tlie
cause is tho same, they w ill all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent hi overcome or remove that cuuse.
lly the laws of Nature, every principle bus its opposite,
and lor every disease, or cduse of disease, there is a re
agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
clenred'lands, is tlie same in character and effect: is a poi
son floating iu tlie atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. 11l accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites. there is in tlie preparation before us, offered to
the public,
Ttie Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even iu the open uir. and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
T lie remedy is believed to ho entirely new, and un
known to any tail the proprietor, who distinctly claims
tlie following extraordinary results from it- 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, recording to tlie direc
tions, ;> radical cure will he 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 iu tlie system, it will
immediately relieve ull the distressing symptoms of bil
ions or ague discuses, and when tlie disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent tbe accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow tlie administration of other mode
cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
Dy its use Fever and Ague may he banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue tiieir respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them tlie most valuable part of the
year.
Since tlie introduction of tlie 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 itH 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, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, ami when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded
to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he particularly
careful about using 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, but that it is
also
Worthy <Mf Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Gilt ire Harmlessness,
Tlie lollowing certificate from one of tlie most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eveiy 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, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have ifound
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to tlie constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It ii 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 tlie 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 tlie ono
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
tlie same cause, aud therefore all, both residents aud
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itseli in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
tlie 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 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 the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of tho antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —In certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,; and place them iu
sleeping rooms; for the vapo- rising from tlie medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tho
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degieo commensurate with its expo
sure, tho miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting ttie 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 the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Auoe Cere” blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tlie
medicine, (tho copyright of which is secured) and tlie
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
Tiie reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

Nsw Orleans, April 0, 1850.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands ol remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles

GREAT TRIUMPHS
AND
UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF
RHODES’ FEVER AND AGUE CURE,
OR
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
NO POISON. PROOFS !
Suo what tho President of the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria:
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
UA\ INO noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. ,J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in l'aver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous up
plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for the medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a largo
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, uiul to whom l call refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.
EDWARD S. MIIEATON,
Presd't of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri.

Providence, June 2D, 1855.
Having been informed of tlie illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who lias not been fro efrorn Fever and
Ague a month at a time for tlie last twelve years, i sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, she took iu all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, and as four months
have now elapsed, there is no reason todoubt the perma
nent y of the cure.

Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1855.
James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent
an order to Ames & Holliday for another half gross of
your Feverand Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and 1 have only two bottles on hand. Oue reason it
lias 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, aud they were all satisfied. I had one case
of Chill Fever where it run lour days, hut tho man came
to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.
21 Bottles Perform 4 A Cures.
Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes— Dear Sir — Tho box of “Ague
Cure” you sent us has all been sold and created a large
demand for more; to meet whicli we have ordered
from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.
its sale will only be equalled by the number of Fever
and Ague cases. Hoping tlieso cases may bo few, yet
have a bottle for every case.
We remain respectfully yours,
RICHARDS k ALLEN.

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.
Maxwell, Delaware Cos., Otiio, Aug. 19,1805.

But not a bottle has come hack, and as I am almost out
of tiie article I wish you would forward me one gross of
the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will bo
punctual in payment. I iuclose fifteen dollars on the
medicine I have received, lor which please send me a
receipt. Ship the curegto me as soon as you can—there
never lias been as much Chills and Fever since I lived in
tiie State, as at present. Yours, Ac.,

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
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 lstkmii :f Panama, several
months since, and in spite of tli • different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my lieal i.• grew worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. —
Since that time I have not had a sing'le chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing y jur in ‘dicine the success that it merits,
T remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an
advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.”
We Rre 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
um; to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it
before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Eoonsboro,

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, liichlaud Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per
manent benefit —a few days siuoo she got a bottle of
the Cure and has not had a chili since. A young man
also used the same Balsam somo time without relief
until lie got a liottle 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.
.1. 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
per fuel success. Respectfully yours,
’ W. 0. 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 lias been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired mo to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. \Y. 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 info every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist. l)r. 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.
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 he realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish su li immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
lillany newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowliing Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CIIAKACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottlo 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 the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is n perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
ns 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.

AMERICAN COTTON PLANTES
FOR 1856.
rjMIE Fourth Yolume of the American Cotton Plante.
_L will commence with the January number.
in thus formally announcing the Prospectus for tin
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs;
add, sanguiue in llie belief that, with the intelligent, in
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in tin
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of tHo Plain
ing States, and especially Alabamians, the past history ui
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In the first place, we remark to our friends and reuuii
that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, has at ain become the Publiß
er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our leadc-i
emphatically, that in future the Cotton Planter shall ■
sue promptly by the first day of each month.
Flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibition U
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in llie tiimnplsnit
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama Stan
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will take n
step backward” its progress is onward and upward toll
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, ami
by the members of tlic Society, that- the Planters aud
Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama,
will rally en masse to the support of Alabama's only (ex
clusively) Industrial Periodical, tho Organ of the Ala
baniu State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency ilia)
be unfettered in the great work of developing the im
measurable resources of the Keystone State of the Solid;
“Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Manufac
tures and tho Mechanic Arts,” the object of the Ann-ri
can Cotton Planter is to
“ Improve tlie Soil ami the Mind.”
With a corps of correspondents, numbering many and
the most practical as well as scientific minds of tlieSuutii.
we feel assured wo shali be able to visit our patrons on
the first of each month, to their entire satisfaction and
profit.
Every family in the country, whatever m-y bo tin i;
avocation, should patronise sonic Agricultural paper: H
cause there is no reading matter published to the world
so innocent, and at the same time so practically prelim
hie in all the walks of life as that obtained in a good an:;
‘cultural Periodical. The American Cotton Planter v.d!
issue promptly by the first day of the month. It willV
