Otlior reasons might be added, but llitHo are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all rondi t .nns of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut will apply wit li eijual force to cases which have been subject ed to or i.nvo become reduced, corresponding of course •o the nature of the cues at the time it is llrst adminis tered. As lids remedy gives so prompt, effectual unit perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons ran scarcely realize that they hod i eon really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y were not attacked with fever, uud if so, “it was fritting a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing ot consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine hud no effect.” The general impression on lliu subject of lever is such, that thoughts not unlike thu above follow the cure of a common case as naturally us men think at all; and it is not until (he individual lias witnessed many cases that lie can fully i, aliz.o the truth; i id even then ho may cum hide them all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though tiiey have been lints successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there wilt cases occur where there is snme organic or local cause so great ns to require particular attention, or though successful in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid’ passes off, as this exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard against disappointment m suen cases that J have given .ml frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Ki umrks on Fevers lu (icneral l On this subject I wish to lie fully understood. Hy ttie lerin “fevers,” f comprehend nil febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, Including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut ns they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions ami habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; vet all are distinguished hy tlio same general character istics—that o! undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense ot heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that. 1 am nut wholly nlmie in (lie opinion i advance, I quote from the celebrated i’rof. T. Watson, ot King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standatrel authority. On page 834, ho says :—“Wo hear continually, both in uud out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, tirnin Fever, Pilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Atnxic, Adynamic, (tastro-Knteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, L am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of ull this sub-division, is bad and hurtful, it oucuuruges 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 rnn insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and aro often i rateable to the sumn cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the folly of limiting up or troubling youi self about a “ name;” if you huve fever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. Tills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or, visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed side of Iho sick, ill hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir minstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured yon will soon ho freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But ns eases may have be come developed before tile “Fluid” Is given, either by neghfet, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in nil of tlio most prominent fevers, though the “ ltules” and “Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for ull those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Hales important to be observed in all cases in usitig the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist.

Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the 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. litli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintuoss white in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the lever 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 and breast may lie bathed in cold water: either of which will give immediate relief. Ti\HLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 11 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ 5 tola “ “ “ 2 “ fi’ •• “ 5 *■ 10 “ “ ffO to 60 “ 8 “ la half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teospoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require us much us young, or those in the prime of life; uor females, as a general rule, as much us males. There Is no 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. lly observing the above directions, the medicine vv ill 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, that the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict oh soi vunces. HUiotiH or Remittent Fever. (live a teusponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off: this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of lever, with such observances ns are set forth in the “Rules.” But should there bo prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and w hile giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any ca-e the I avis are particularly constipated ot confined, give a .nhartlc (see auxiliaries) with the tirst poetion; they must bo opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse- running Hu or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influ-nee of medicine—not easily operated on by utcdiciue generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsfiil may bo given at tirst with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it —the pulse—has not been softened, tint* showing tie- medicine lias taken effect. Bathing tlie surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, than only a tea spoonful, to be di continued us thefever subside). As the bowels sre generally confined, and it Is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease tie time should lie lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with llio “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be used to advantage; ulso, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the timids or flannel: also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. Fee Synopsis. Nt rx out Fever, Typhus, ship anil Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are alt of ono character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, tlio pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—-at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will lx- required; still comparatively little, us they frequently ruu weeks under tlie common treatment, while with this tint a few daj-s will tie necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment with a teaspoonfel of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becom-s fuller or larger in volume, then to t>e continued nice fn six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. in bad eases, ti An three to live ,-roo v each of quinine anil capsicum (Cayenne popper; or seme iuiik imd stimu lant (see should be added to each dose. The boweie should bo kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even though the bowels should he very loose. The patient should he sustained by nourishing and mucilugenous drinkii—such as aro in common use in -itch cases.— Where the skin is very dry, spouging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will bo found advantageous. Ton is should Is- used during convalescence, in ait coses which have become reduced. Fticinnoiilii, Typhoid Piirumoiiiu, Lung or Winter Fever.

Variola, Varioloid, ltubeolu uud Scurla tiun; or Small Pox, Varioloid, illeatles, and Scarlet Fever. An all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, tin- treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it fe one or the other, or neither, us they all commence with fever, hut treat it at once; govern thefever and there will be no trouble; there will he but little, eruption even in smull pox. This, to most minds, is a now idea, ami doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many, X nevertheless I Mildly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will be cut short; attended with hut little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no pece. ity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will .stake not only my reputation, lint ail that 1 hold must dear; besides, on this subject. I have good authority; that of i’rof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules hy spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may l>e done. I nave not only proven R may tse, but has been done in numerous eases that occurred on board ship, bee the account appended. tiii'o a teaspoonful or wore, according to the urgency of tl.e ease, with n dose of suits or castor oil; repeat the Fluid ./me in two hours if necessary, until rise fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient’; but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep tlio fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of I lie ordinary gargles may be used, arid the Burfare bathed, us thought advisalde. In one case, on the ship Duelists d’Orleuns, the tongue and faui is were so ninth HW-dlen that Hie patient could not swallow or speak. Htid he was cured hy dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful do -s . eery hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment i . about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cast's. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, us to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonlul, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should he attended to. in connection with this subject, i cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid iu many of their trials, lu 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 be 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 use: in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies formally of the ills of females, if not the most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and irilubility of the nervous as well us the circulatory, it. will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that ono can sleep naturally und healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will chango tlio condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlio name it muy he or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control ull organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effects permanent cure. When suclt indications occur iu any case, thoy should be appropriate means, and those soltuld bo given whilo giving the “Fluid,” and iu 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 the fever, I call nil else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlio first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended w itli diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local paiu or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, iierhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tho head, ajiply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlie feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,'’ vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief ami ail! the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if the patient has 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 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach: warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has 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, anti success will crow u your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then- 4 will be astonished at tlie east* witli which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Fur ties may feel ut n loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., ns physicians are usually particular about what is used. I have ioutid no such necessity when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by all. 1 w ill name a tew of tlie different articles of medi cine I huve referred to. viz : 4'nl Hurt its.—Articles that purge or operate on tlie bowels, such ns castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to lie good for such purposes. Heputtca.—Anything known to act on tho liver particularly, portal circulation und secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools f.ir this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tho “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in fluence. Atnl one may choose calomel—another, blue mass the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, und so on; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or slreugth, sacli as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone sc: or tlioroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.— Such as check the action of tho bowels. Laudunumand other preparations of opium are used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. Stimulants. —Aitides that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ao„ the essences arc ull more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally U'cd. but the Negative Electric Fluid Is u better “dia phoretic,* “anodyne, “diuretic, ’ “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in tho materia medico. I shall not lax tlio 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 Packet ship lluchrss D’Orlenns. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to tlie” following, viz— W o took passage on rim packetship Ductless d’Orleans, Oapt Hutton, thou lying in tlio port of Havre, France, and bound for New York. Stic sailed on the 9th of Am gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among tho emigrants. They were all treated by tlie physician ill charge. Dr. N. TV. Seat, with anew remedy of Ills own, which he calls Negative I floe trie 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-nine day*, there were about eighty cases of small pox,’some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what wo saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before heard oi rend of febrile affections beiug controlled witli so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

CTJTT MIASMA, i riHIKSK diseases arc common to many localities of the I _L United elate 1 ,; but wherovee they prevail. North, Boutli, East or West, they all equally spring from thu same miasnial cause. The great variety ot symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age. sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; hut as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy I that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. I By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re j agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of annual and vegetable matter, or even newly Cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe ii. In accordance with these unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op ’ nosites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in eon taut with it, even, in the open air, and when taken inter nally c.oinpictely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new. and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie follow ing extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly cheek the ague in persons w ho have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty year., and by continuing itsu.se, according to the direc tions, u radical euro will lie 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 Hie poison in tlie system, it will j immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it w ill entirely prevent the accession of Utnci al Di bllKy aixl Sight Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other incite cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may bo banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and ail laboring people may be using this arti cle 08 a Prevent i v e, Amt pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tho sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying us to have fully proved these asset lions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made at the dale of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all ihe resources of scieuco had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; gild what was 6**lll 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, JSalicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail. or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about usiug 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 Harmlessuess, Tho lollowing certificate from one of tlio most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New Yoke, June 11, iB6O. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever ami Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine anil Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have Ifeund any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES 11. CHILTON, M. it.. 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 the diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develr; 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. Tho very’ best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleans.- the stomach ami free tho l.iiiary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or tlie operation of the antidote will be serioudy ob structed. Only C’anf ion.—in certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tlio Cure info shallow- vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tlie medicine, uud also the air wafted across, or circulated over HlO dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counti met ami destroy, to a degieo commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. ‘Phis mode of exhibiting tlio Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed lu malarious situations. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlm words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ac.ue Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely uhon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to tho value of jour Antidote to Malaria. One j'ounglady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without anj’ per manent benefit—a few 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 uni it lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

Respectfully yours. ’ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11,C. li. R„Ga., Jau. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices hy its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. ‘ W. A.HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible in’o every town and village in the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence, it is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago wore reluctant even to take tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish su li immense quantities are always new and lato 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 Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows ils free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all w hose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility- or any- kind of intemperance or dissipation.

It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and by tlie members of the Society, that the Planters and Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama, w ill rally en masse to the sn-.port of Alabama’s only (ex clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the Ala bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may be unfettered in tlie great work of developing the im measurable resources of tlie Keystone State of the South “ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Manufu tures and the Mechanic Arts.” the object of the Ameri can Cotton Planter is to “Improve tire Soil and tUe Mind.” With a corps of correspondents, numbering many ol tlie most practical as well as scientific minds of the South, we feel assured we shali be able to visit our patrons od the first of each month, to their entire satisfaction and profit.
