NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. U. Reasons why it should bo used instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affections : I at — Knnnimy of Time. —As only one-seventh of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. Economy of .Honey.— Ah it c >ts hut onu dollar. 3rd* — Economy of Fe*llng.~Ai ii saves the suffering of a ions aiokness and the consequent treal uient; Hie annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, ami that pleasant in its effects. 4lh.—Economy of Thniiglil.— As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a deal'friend is sick. nib*—-Kconomy of Health.— As tin system is not reduced, and consequently raelted; nor is the fever subject to he followed by chronic disease. tit Is. — Boon oiy of Life.— As the cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in it corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. other reasons might be added, but these are deemed Mitttueiit to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons arc more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on tin- 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 tin! time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and permit neut relief, in oil ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons cun scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very nuturully conclude tin y wers not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling a little cold, wiiicli gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it. would have passed oil’ with out anything—-that medicine bad noeflect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the ‘above follow the cure of a common case us naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many eases that lie can fully realize the truth; and oven then ho may couclude them all very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have boon 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 successful in reducing the fever, it will again rise as file influence of the “Fluid” passes oil, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment In such casus that 1 have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.” RnnarkH on Fevers In (ieneral* On this subject 1 wish to he fully understood. Ify the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably ill their development and exhibit a Fmfety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics —that of undue excitement in tliu circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less iiiinutiirul fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skill, debility, Ac. To show that I alii not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from the celolirnfed I’rof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the “ I’rinci plcs anil Practice Os Physic.” is a textbook in many of our niodiral colleges, and consequently standard aulhority. On lingo 834, he says:—“Wo hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Ity the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the lull as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Eiitoric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever siiotvs itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tlio mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, eveu the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The alKive is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds tlio folly of bunting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of nuy distinctchnrncter being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific. Tli in 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 and others) under a groat variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates, (tear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing und dangerous fevers, lint as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe us briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though t he“ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tlio sick. Hides important to be observed in all rases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four limes its own quantity of water, and limy be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always lie free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about wlillo under its in fluence. 3d. It must be continued whenever the lover subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such bo the ease under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take 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 should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires und 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. Bth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tlie lying posture, so as to occasion ii restlessness alter the fever lias 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 and breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF l)OSE8. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops, “ over 1 end under 2 years, “ 6to 16 “ “ “ S “ 5 “ “1“ to 30 •• “ “ f> “ 10 “ 20 to 60 “ S “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over flfteen considered us adults, for whom a teaspoonful is it 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 no particular care necessary in giving it to children —those of ten years of ago frequently having taken full doses ; but for a little guide, I have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, tluit the full benefit of the medicine may bo obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Hiltons or Remittent Fever. OUe a teuaponful of “ Fluid’’(see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple eases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the “Rules.” Hut should there lie prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” Bee Synopsis. If in any case the b o els are particularly constipated or confined, give a- i!liartio (see auxiliaries) with the ttrst portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, uud the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on bv medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may be given at Itrst with advantage, and even repeated in two hour* —if it—the pulse—has not been softened, thus showing tiie medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits amt water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Hive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till, the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued IIS the fever subsides. As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in thi? disease, no time should bo lost to get them open, give some active cathartic w ith the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the Iwad. Quinine may lie added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See 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 pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical me in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when hilly develop'd, a little patience will be required: still Comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under !ui C ? smmo “ ,rui ' tnu ‘“t. while with this but a few days r„nva^:r. ary “ IOnRPn Übll * “ permanent i„ i^rentme n t should be commenced—which nmv tu mediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of “Fluid’ every two hours, till th, pulse becomes fuller or larger In volume, then to be continued mce In six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides In bad cases, from three to five grains each of outrun’ and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tunic uud stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The [ bowel* should bo kept gently “pen, and small portions of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even ‘ though the bowels slioiilii lie very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and muciiagenous | drifiks—such as are ill common use in such coses. — j Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di recte 1 in bilious lever, will be found advantageous. ! Tonies should he used during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give u teaspoon 111 I ol the “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or 1 half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, | then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight liouis. The bouoset 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 bind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, It nix nln and .Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, anil Scarlet Fever, As all of these discuses are attended wild fever, which ] in fuel is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn tlie “ name” whether it is one or tiie other, or neither, as they all commence with J'ecer, but treat it al once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, und doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. J nevertheless hiildiy make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct., will be. cut short; attended with but little eru|e tion; littlo or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, Imt all that, 1 hold most dear; beside.-', on tills subject, i have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “You may abate tiie force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I navo not only proven it nuiy be, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. 800 the account appended. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to flic urgency of tiie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—'.liougli one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tiie ordinary gargles may bo used, ami the surface lialhed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and fuucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, ami he was cured by dropping tiie Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow, when it was given in tcuspmmful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by tlio Fluid alone.— Used to wet tlio 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 the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid witii such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a tcaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other eases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its uso; in short, it Is one of the most convenientami effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not tiie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlio whole system, removing all excitability and iritaliility of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; heme its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tiie treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tiie condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may bo or ought to be called, it should be given 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 bo appropriate means, and these suhuld be given while giving tlio “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary timo will then bo lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub due the lever, 1 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 tiie dose; if attended witii diarrhoea, givo something known to bo good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs! or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tlio head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet iii hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tiie 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 be 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 be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary: in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will he astonished at tlio 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 found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all. 1 will name a tew of tlie different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, muoli as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilious. Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic,.—Anything known to act ou the liver particularly, portal circulatiou and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools tor 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, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc cess fill. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone sec or thoroughwort is one of the host used in fevers. Ast ringciits.—Buclt ns 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 the best: ginger, spirits, hartshorn, tlie essences are tdl more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bettor “dia- “anodyne,” “diuretic, ’’ “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in the materia mrdica. I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tlio results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Pncketahlp Duchess D'OiTeniis. w hich cannot be classed among ordinary certificates • We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz— We took passage on the pocketship Duchess d’Orleans Cnpt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France’ and bound for New York. She sailed on the Oth of An! gust. 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days alter leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, with anew remedy of bis 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. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-uiue days, there w ere about eighty eases of small pox. some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All Were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are full v convim ed that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtue’s. We never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness atul certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

OIF XYtl-ZVlsad-A.. riMIi.SK diseases are common to many localities ol the 1 i nited Mates; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from the same miasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of tiie sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that, is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle Ims its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in “liter words a specific remedy. All Malaria, w bethor ai 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 flouting in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op p"sites, there is in tiie preparation before us, offered to tlio public, Tiie Niutural Antidote lo Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, aud thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims tiie following extraordinary results from its uso : It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered lor any length of time, front one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be 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 the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede cines. Tiie patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. Ity its use Fever and Ague may bo banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue tlieir 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. Bince (lie introduction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the 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 us Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse titan the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded to the poor sufferers 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 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 and Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists nt the United States has been obtained, aud a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “I 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 tiie constitution. “JAMES K. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relievo 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 diseaso is so easily managed as the one u rider consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and tiie 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 as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. it will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. 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 betaken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour 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 the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract uud destroy, to a degice commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tiie 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 Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and ou the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tiie signature of tiie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the matt came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perform 24: Cures.

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 Isthmu xf Panama, several months since, and in spite of th • different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal ugrew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur m'dicine 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 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 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 tiie public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. .T. 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 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 tiie same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. ,1. A. Rhodes— Dear Sir—l have been iu 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 CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in tiie 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. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take tliu 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 suit immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and provo the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tiie Crowning Glory of tiie 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 F’ever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poisou Malaria, to which the Cure is a. perfect antidote. It is also unequulled 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 tiie 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 ol the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation. In the first place, we remark to our friends and readers that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become the Publish er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our readers, emphatically, that in future the Cotton Planter shall is sue promptly by the first day of each month. Flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibition oi 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 tie step backward” its progress is onward and upward to tin-, highest niche of improvement. It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and by the members of tiie Society, that the Planters ami Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama, will rally en masse to the support of Alabama’s only (ex clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the Ala bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may he unfettered in the great work of developing tiie im measurable resources of the Keystone State of the South. “ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Manufac tures and the Mechanic Arts,” the object of the Ameri can Cotton Planter is to “ Improve tiie Soli and 4be Mind.” With a corps of correspondents, numbering many of tiie most practical as well as scientific minds of the South, we feel assured we shali he able to visit our patrons on tiie first of eaclt month, to their entire satisfaction and profit. Every family in the country, whatever msy he their avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper: be cause there is no reading matter published to tiie world so innocent, and at the same time so practically profita ble in all the walks of life as that obtained in a good agr - cultural Periodical. The American Cotton Planter will issue promptly by the first day of the month, it will bo uniformly printed in magazine style, on good white pa per, with new and fair type, securely stitched and trim | mod.
