NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, !
Prcpnrttl by N. W. Seat, M. D.
Reasons why it should bo used instead ol any other treat- •
meat iu all Febrile affections :
let.—Economy of Time.—Am only one-seventh
of Dio ordinary lime is required to effect ft cure.
hd-Kconamy of Money.—As it c sts but one
Srd.—licononi)’ of Keeling.—As it saves the |
sufleriu* of a long sickuei mid the consequent treat
ineilt; tbo minovance of taking nauseating doses of
mediciue, their disagreeable operation, and the pain ol I
long confinement; hut little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant ill its effects.
4th.—Economy of Thought. A when .
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present I
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
sth.—Economy of Health.—An ib system
is uot reduced, aud cousoquently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
Oth.—Economy of Life.—As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the pati oit, consequently
removing, in u corresponding degree, all danger ol a lutal
termination.
Other reasons might he added, hut these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more partieularly applicable to
tile immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or havo become reduced, corrosputnling of course
*o the nature of the cose at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual arid perma
nent relief, in ..11 ordinary eases, when used hoou after
tbo attack, persons ran scarcely realize that they had
Jieen really much sick, and very naturally conclude til y
war) not attacked with fever, and if so, -it was trilling
—a little cold, which gave alarm —it could liuve been
nothing of consequence—lt would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had uuefleet.” ’i he general
impression on the subject of lever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
the Individual has witnessed many cases that lie Can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very billing coses, which woulU have readily yielded
to an.v simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cue. s, must
expect that there will cases occur wli-rc there is some
organic or local cause so great us to require particular
attention, or though success ill in reducing the fever,
it u ill again rise as the influence of the “ fluid ’ passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
aguinst disappointment til sucu cusea that 1 liavo given
and frequently ruler to what I have called a- synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers iu (fencrah
Ou this subject 1 wish to he fully understood. Hy the
term “fevers,” I comprehoud all febrile affections to
which the human frame Is rubject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but os they arise by u great
variety of causes, anu iu quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, tb y of course differ considerably in their
development, and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory aud
nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, souse of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, kc.
To show that I am not wholly alone in ttie opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, whose work oil llio “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” Is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority.
On p igo 834, lie says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. l.y the public, Typhus Fever, llrain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to tho full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Ally mimic, Gtlatro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effoct upon the
mind of all ibis sub-division, Is bud 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 fovers,
that can be relied on. They rim insensibly into each
other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a groat fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would imprest on year minds tho folly of hunting
up or troubling you self about a “name;” if you liuve
fevur, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you
will oe wdl instead of any distinetchuracter being devel
oped, so as to he properly named by the most, scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands ol cases
(by myself anu others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, bcusoiis and climates. Hear this in mind,
aud treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon l>e freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But us cases may have be
come developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as brietty as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though tile “ Rules”
aud “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Rules important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under ils in
fluence.
3d. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such bo tile case under any
circumstances.
4th. When tho fever begins to subside,patients must
bo left perfectly quiet: free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wauls or feoliugs, nor
attempt to converse, road or take any exercise whatever,
till their cion natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous inll lienees, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should auy conversation la. allow ed iu their hearing, in
which they may feel more or loss interest"' l - nut be left
quiet to all iuteutsand punu>s“-
6th. Fluids sh“>'>> be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as tho patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
Gth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness wliilo ill the lying posture, so as to occasion it
rest! ssuons after the fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
Wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face ■: id
breast may be bathed iu cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OK DOSES,
For children ol’ one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ 6to 16 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30
“ “5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60
“ “ 8 “ 16 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over ttlteeu considered ns adults, for whom
u teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
roquire as lunch as young, or those in the prime of life;
uor females, us a general rule, as much us mules.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
chlluren —those of ten years of ago frequently having
taken full do.-es ; but for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, witli the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing tlie above directions, tin- medicine will
bo found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being tlius particular is, duit
tho full beue.,t of the medicine may ho obtained, aud
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
Give a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu
two hours, tdl the fever is evidently passing off: this
constitutes tlte whole treatment in nil simple cases of
fever, with such observances ns are set forth in the
“ Rules.” lint should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If iu any case Hie I- uels are particularly constipated
or confined, give u ithartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to tho iulluenco of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given it first with advantage, and even loponted
in two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened
thus showing til- medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult came, will afford relief anil aid
the medicine much iu taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teaspoonstul and repeat every two hours till
tho pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to lie discontinued as the fever subside! As
tho bowels are generally confined, ami it is freoucmlv
very difficult to get medicine to operate iu till, disease
no time should lie lost (o get them open, give some active’
cathartic with the •• Fluid” and repeat ns may lie neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be
used to adv uitiigo; also, mustard to the extremities or
friction (rubbing! with the hands or flannel: also cold
applications to tile head. Quinine may be added to tin.
“ Fluid'’ if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As those fevers are all of ono character, differing
mainly In degree, being all of a low grade, the puis®
small and wiry, ivitli a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating theiu-at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers when
fully developed, a little patience will be required: still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but n few days
will be necessary at longest to establish n permanent
convalescence. *
The treatment should bo commenced—which mav
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or latger in volume, then to l>e continued
Mice in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
In bad eases, from three totlve g rains ~a c| , 0 f quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne popper) * l)r Bunje tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
oowc is should ho kept gently open, and email portions
of some twpatio should tx given occasionally, even
though Hie bowels should be very- loose. Tho patient
should bo sustained by nourishing and nmcilagdlious
drillin'—*nch as are in common use in such eases.—
Where tlie rkin is Very dry, sponging the pOtluco as di
rected iu bilious lev< will be fouud advantageous.
Tonics should lie us.-d, during cotivaiesoonco, in ull case*
whicli have become reduced.
Pneumonia, ’Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
iliv a ti-.i-ijssmful or tho “Fluid ’ cvciy two hours,
witli a wine-gjjssl u I of a strong decoction of bones-et; or
I hull’ tii quantity may tie given every hour till relieved,
llien, ut longer intervals, say once iti six ur eight hours.
The bonesc; leu should bo given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, ur the patient is fullered ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something -of
the kiuir. to lie applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola aud Scurfa
ttnm or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As ull of these diseases me attended with fever, which
In fact is tlie most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common levers. Remember
never wait to loam tlie -naut <■,” whether it is olio or file
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, Imt
treat it at onset govern the fever and there will is- no
trouble; there will bo but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded witli ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make Hie assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will be rid short; attended with but little ernp
tiou; little or no pitting, aud that there is no ncres. dy of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, bntu 1 Hint I hold most dear;
besides, ou this subject. I have good authority; that of
I’rof. M'.it.-dn previously quoted. He says, pago 874:
“ You may abate ttie force of tho eruptive lever, und
keep down, ifis believed, the number oj the pustules by
• spline purge*, Ac.” Here is the admission unit it may
lie dune. I nave not only proven it maybe, but lias
, been dona iu numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. Fee Abe account appended.
Give n teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency
of the etna, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tho fever sub
side!—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tlie fever under control. YVheu the throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may be Used, und the
surface bathed, ai thought advisable.
In one ease, on the ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue
and biunts were so much swollen that tbo patient could
not swallow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could .-.wallow,
w hen ii was given in teaspoonful doses t eery hour, till
all ulnrniing symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment ill übout twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gurgle in all sueli cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as 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 tho
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as tho foyer continues, as in other cases.
Tho bowels of course should he attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making u 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 lie tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com
mon doso and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
Its use; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient aud
effectual remedies for many of tlie ills of females, if uot
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 us tho circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; licuce Us use iu so many cases.
Synopsis,
To avoid constant repetition, aud condemn the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it limy be or ought to be culled, it should be giieti
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must bo removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur iu auy case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost As the Fluid” alone will sub
due the fe.er, 1 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 due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to lie good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“Fluid” will soon relieve 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 tlie part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tlie feet in hot water; if the level- is very high, skill
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at un agreeable temperature;
“tlio saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief aud.aid •*— .—a:
cine iu takiuir effect. ..ft i-i-1* mere will bo no trou
o\.-. ii mo patient has been reduced nr 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 lias 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 stoujach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tho
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” lit the same time ns directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till von
have seen, and then you will lie astonished nt tho ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant liy
cathartics, kc., ns physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found no sueli necessity
when using tho Fluid, and to bo fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of the dilTorout articles of medi
cine ! have referred to, v'z:—
Cat linrf ice.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, sueli us castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibiHqus, ,kc.; anything
known to lie good for such purposes.
Ht-pnties.—Anything known to act on tlio liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer wlu-n used in connection
with the -• Fluid” or while the system is under Its iu
-11 uence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tho third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and he sue-
COHftful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
ns quinine, various balks, toots and Litter herbs. Bone
so:, or thoroughwort is one of tlie best used in fevers.
A string tuts.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Guidon urn ami other preparations of opium are
used ; also, many mixture*, nut protierlv astringents
which hare the effect.
Stiiniilaiits, Articles that raise m* excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of tlie best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, &c., the c-senoes are ail moro
oi less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in Heating fevers, though many others are gc-netallv
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a Let hr *• dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” aud
“ sedative” Ilian known iu the materia mettica.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, ami will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Pncktisblji Duchess D’Orlenns.
win li cannot he classed among ordinary certificates:
‘Vi‘. the undersigned, certify to tlie following, viz—
We took iKissage ou the packeisbip Duchess d’Grleans
Capt Hutton, then lying iu tlio port of Havre. France’
and bound for New York. She sailed ou the nth of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred rouli on board. moHtly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, (he small
pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all
treated by the physician in charge, l)r. X. W. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own. which he calls Negative Elec
trie Fluid, with whicli 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 d:ivs,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some lever
Ac., and uot a single death. All were cured with tiuu

WHICH ITAVr, A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MAXj2IXI.XA. Oil MIA.SMA.
M'lii'.cSK diseases are, common to many localities ol the
JL United .States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring from Uie
same miasma! cause. The great variety ol symptoms anu
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution anil habits of the sufferers; hut us tlie
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 has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of diseuse, there is a re
agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition ol u-iimal and vegetable mutter, or even newly
cleared fai.ks, is the same m character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who
breathe It. In accordance witli those unalterable laws
goreruin-. tho unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in tlie preparation before its, offered to
the public,
Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it conies in con
tact with it. even in tlie open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purifies the system affected bv it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, ami un
known to any imt. the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
It will Distantly check the ague in persons who. have
suffered for auy length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions. a radical cure will he effected; the patient contin
uing lice from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should umk- its use again necessary.
in its operation upon the poison in the system, it nil.
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms oi’ bil
ious or ague diseases, aud when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility aiul Mglit Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
cines. The patient at once begins to reevor 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, aud all laboring people may be using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
w hich is often to them the most valuable part of Hie
year.
Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of
the United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved tlicso 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 ihe resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and wliot 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, Suiicine, Ac.
Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects ire stiperadded
to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint.
Ou this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about usiug any secret Fever ami Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlie 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 vain: hie
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular anil Entire Harmicssness,
The iollowing certificate from one of tlie most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to evcijr bottle:
New York, June 11, 1856.
“I have mailea chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
aud Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to tlie constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D„ Chemist.”
It if 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 tlie medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one and
tlie 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 th'-ir veins, to develop itself in a violeht
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
l ull directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident iu
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
on. nit- nDjecT ot which is to cleans : tho stomach
and tree tlie biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is enstiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of tlie antidote will he seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —In certain specified cases, pour
tlie contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in
sleeping rooms; for tho vapor rising from tlie medicine,
and also tho air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, w r ill counteract
aud oestroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This inode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho
words, “Rhodes’ Fever axd Ague Cure” blown in the
glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is the name of tlie
medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
Tiif. reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

New Orleans, April “, 1565.
Dear Sir —The public generally are fully uwere of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Snrsuparilltis. l’ills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to tlieir notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce tlie public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that ooutains articles of
Real Vse in Pulmonary IHscosrs. lam conscious that iu
so doing, l am acting most uil professionally, and derjlha
to. il “ to tlie interests of Medical Science and the regul.tr
Practitioners of Mediciue. I refer to Woodman's Cliern
F.xpectorant, w hich is a scientific remedy that 1 lmv'e
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tion’s used by Physician*.

0. O. Woodman—Dear Fir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial aud am well pleased witli its ef
fects: better than any other article I ever met with. [
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by the bearer. Respectfully.

This preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and In fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvt nt
and its soothing power to all irritation* of the throat,
will probably lie preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping tlie digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is tlie only Cough Mediciue that
lias stood the test of tlie medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved of. and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or tho money refunded. Wc guaran
tee it to be better than any cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent
an order to Ames & Holliday for another half gross of
your Feveraud Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
iind I have only ’ two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when 1 have lit ard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle aud teld them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged tu
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

1 commenced tho use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
tho value of your Antidote to .Malaria. One young lady
in the tamily of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without, any per
manent beneCt—a few days since she got a bottle of
(lie Cure and has uot had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far It works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
’ ‘ IV. G. SPENCEIi.
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 • verybody. 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 tlie CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible in o every town and village
in tlie United States, Canadas, kc. The eminent chem
ist- Dr. .T, R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever ami 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 the Cure oil commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could uot lie realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will he noticed that the letters
of which I publish sn h immense quantities arc always
new ami late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
ress and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tli e Crowning Gloi-y ’
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons. not a man woman or child in the United .-Rates
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 a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
os a Restorative, giving new life and strength to nil
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.

AMERICAH COTTON PLANTER
FOR 1856.
THE Fourth Y’olume of tlie American Cotton Planter
JLwi’.l commence with the January number.
In thus formally announcing tlie Prospectus for Hit
Fourth Y'olume, we have but a few short paraginphs u
add, sanguine in tlie belief that, with the intelligent, in
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in Ur
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of tlie Flam
ing States, aud especially Alabamians, the past history el *
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In the first place, we remark to our friends aud reader ,
that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, lias again become tlie l'ublidi
er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our readers
emphatically, that in future tlie Cotton Planter shall i
sue promptly by tlie first day of each month.
Flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibition and
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated iu tlie triumphant
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama Stan
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will take c
step backward” its progress is onward and upward toil -
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor aud proprietor,urn
by the members of the Society, that the Planters an.
Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabami
will rally en masse to the support of Alabama’s only (es
clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the’ Ak.
bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency nw;
be unlettered iu tlie great work of developing the is
measurable resources of the Keystone State of the Snuff
“Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Manuk-,
tures and the Mechanic .Arts,” tlie object of the Atari
can Cotton Planter is to
“Improve flic Soil and tile Hind.’
With a chips of correspondents, numbering mam
tbe most practical as well as scientific minds of theSoiif
we feel assured we shall be able to visit our patrons t
the first of each month, to their entire satisfaction m
profit.
Every family in the country, wliataver msy be tin
avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper : ‘
cause tliero is no reading matter published to the trot;
so innocent, and at the same time so practically profit
ble in all the walks of life as that obtained in a good
cultural Periodical. The American Cotton Planter t
issue promptly by tliefirst day of the month, it will!
uniformly printed in magazine style, on good white;
per, with new and fair type, securely stitched and trir
