NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, !
Prepared by Si, W. Seat, M. D.
Keavon* why it should’j* Used instead of any other treat
ment iu ail febrile affection*:
I*l.—Economy Os Time.—Ah only one-seventh
of the ordinary time ia required to effect a cure.
4d.Bcouunty of Money, —Ah it coHta but one
dollar.
3rd,—Economy of Peellng.—As it hhvoh the
suffering of a long sickness und the consequent treat
ment i the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, tlieir disagreeable operation, and the pain of
loug oonlinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
am! that pleasant in Its effects.
4th. — Ktonoiny of Thought. —As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while j
a dear friend is sick.
sth. — Keonomy of Health.— As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
Oth. — Ucounmy of Life. —As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in acorres|ionding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might Ist ndded, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons iu all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are mure particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on tiiu first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to the nature of the cnee at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, In all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
won not attacked wilh fever, and If so, ‘-it was trifling
--a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of e*usequence —It would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general
Impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
uot unlike the above follow the care of a common case
as naturally as men think at ail; and it is not until
the individual bus witnessed many eases that lie cau fully
realize the truth; anil even then ho may conclude them
all very ti filing cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundred* of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so groat as to require particular
attention, or though success ul in reducing the lover,
it will again rise as the influence of tiio “ Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause mav still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in such coses that 1 have given
aud frequently refer to what 1 have ended a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In ticnerab
On this subject I wish to be fully understood, lty the
term “levers,” X c-miprebcud all febrile affections to
which the human frumo is subject, including small pox
aud other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
sod habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development aud exhibit a variety of forms or types;
vet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics —that ol undue rxcilemcut in tlio circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I inn not wholly alone iu the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, Louden, whose work on the “ Princi
ples uml Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our modical colleges, and consequently stamlanl authority.
On page 834, hesuys:—“We hear continually, both iu
und cut of tile profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Jly the public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ao. Aud systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gattro-Euteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
vucourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
lino of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
-hat can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, ami are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, olio worthy of remembrance
aud I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubliug youi self about a “ name;” if you have
lover, treat it at once as hereafter directed, und yon
will be well instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at tho bed
side of tile sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself aud others) under a greet variety of cir
cumstances, suasous and climates. Dear this in mind,
and treat at ouce without regard to name, aud rest
assured you will soon bu freed from ail dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as casus may have be
come developed before the ’’ Fluid” is given, cither by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to bu pursued in
all of tile most prominent fevers, though the “ Kules”
and “ Syuopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Mulet important to be observed in all cases in t isivg the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quautity of water, and may be sweeteued or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation iu the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
ad. It must be continued whenever tho fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the i-use under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
uot be questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take nay exereise 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 giviug it as
plentifully, aud as loug as tho patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lomouado, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
flth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lias passed oV, 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 aud
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of cue year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 30
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60
“ “ 8 “ 16 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered us adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much ns young, or those Iu the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is uo particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those of ten years of age frequently having
token full Josch ; 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.
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, that
the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, aud
uot on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
Give a toospoiifUl of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) ouce in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oft'; this
constitutes the whole treatmeut iu nil simple oases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in the
“ Kules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at ouce, and wqiile giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in Huy case the bowels are particularly constipated
or conttniid. give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first |>ortion; they must bo opeued or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running UO or
upwards, urn! the patient is uot particularly susceptible
to the intlucucc of medicine— uot easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two toaspoousful
may be given at tirst with advantage, and even repeated
in two hour*—if it —the pulse—has not been sojtrnril,
thus showiug the medicine has (akeu effect.
Bathing the surface with water ut an agreeable
temperature, tile saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, ill these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(Jive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoourul, to be discontinued as the fever subside* As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease
no time should be loat to get them open, give some active’
cathartic with the *• Fluid'’ and re[>eatffis may be neces
sary till it operates: enemas (Injections) niay also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (nibbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. (Juiuilie may be added to the
11 Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are ail 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 uso in separating them-at least so far as
mv treatment is concerned. In these low fevers when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
(comparatively little, as they frequeutly run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a lew days
Nearer 7 “* lt,nSl ' Ht to e#tßl,tißl ‘ * permanent
The treatment should be commenced—which luav
Immediately follow any other without detriment— with
a tcaspooofnl of •* Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fullor or laiger in volume, then to tie continued
ince in slg or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
In bad coses, from three to live groins each of quinine i
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or (tome tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The ;
bow Is should lie kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose, file patient
should be sustained by nourishing ami mucilagenous |
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where tho skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di- I
reel’ and in bilious lover, will bn found advantageous.
Tonics bhould be used during convalescence, in all cases |
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fe ver.
Give a teaspoon lul of-tho “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueu-t; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, ut longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard piaster, or something of
the kind, to be upplietl over the seat of pain; keep the
lKiwels gently open.
Variola, VurioJoltl, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs bile little from that of common fevers. Ketnember
uevor wait to learn the “ name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they nil commence with fever, but
treat it at ouce; govern the fever ami there will be no
trouble; there will be but tittle, eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make tin: assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will be cut sliort; attended with but little erup
tiou; little or no pitting, aud that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
nut only my reputation, lint a t that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
i’rof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, jiage 874:
“ Von may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number utthr. pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tho admission that it may
be done. 1 nave not only proven it may be., but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See (be account appended.
Live a teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once In two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the lever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
1 none case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and fauciu were sp much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, tall ho could swallow,
wlieu it wus given iu teauioouful 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 houis by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liubie, will yield to (lie
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, os to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
tcuspuouful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; uo alarm need be entertained, os the
Fluid will arrest it in a sliort time. It should he re
peated as loug as the river continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be utlcuded 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 Slithering. It
is to inform them of tho happy effect of the Fluid in
many of t heir trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must bo 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 for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of tiiu nervous ns well as the circulatory.
It will uot force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and
quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; lienee Us use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tho treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions tor all eases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho
name it may bo or ought to lie called, it should be given
whatever 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
be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
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, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, aud should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“ 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 the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tho feet iu hot eater; if the lever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with greut suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, cither will afford great relief aud aid tlie medi
cine in tulriug effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if tlie 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 ou the stomach
to doauy good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary ; in sliort, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“Fluid” at the same time ns directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease
with which you cap control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
intimities, Ac., u physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, mid to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of (lie different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, vis:—
t athartics.—Articles that purge or operate on tlie
bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, nntibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act outlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by tho different schools
for tliis purpose, will answer when used in connection
witli tlie “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one nmy choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tho third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice aud be suc
cessful.
Tonic*. —Articles that give tuna or strength, such
us quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
ae-. or tliorougliwort Is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.— Such ns cheek the action of tho
bowels. Liudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
is t iinnlnnts.—Articles that raise or excite tlie
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, liartsborn. Ac., tlie essences are ail 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 bet'er “dia
phoretic,*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in tlie materia median.
1 shall not tux the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
ouly refer to one instance of success, that outlie
Packet ship Duchess D’Orleang.
which cannot l>e classed among ordinary certificates;
We, the undersigned, certify to the” following, viz—
We took passage on the packetsliip Duchess d’Orlcans
(.'apt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of An
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls onboard mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants. They wore all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which be calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to bavo entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lusted thirty-niuo davs,
there werealiout eighty cases of small pox,some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with nuu
sual promptness.
From what wo saw during said passage, we are fully
convinred that the medicine used by Dr. goat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so littlo
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a daith! The
fart speaks for itself.

WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MALAKIA on MIASMA,
r ■ ill USE diseases are common to many localities of the
J. United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
Sou'll, East or West, they all equally spring from tlie
sumo miusmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as tlie
cause is the same, they will all equally y ield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that came.
By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or in other words a specific remedy. 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,tausiug disease toall who
breathe it. In accordance witii those unalterable laws
governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before ns, off ered t o
the public,
The IVatural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes tlie poison w henever it conies in con
tact with it, even in the open air, anil when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, aud uri
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
tlie following extraordinary results from its use :
it will instantly check tlie ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of lime, lrom one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will tie effected; tlie patient contin
uing free from tlie complaint lor ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should inak- its use again necessary.
in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
Geucral Debility aud Night Sweats,
which to often follow the administration of other mode
cities. 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 be banished from
every family and class in the community; farm .rs, me
chanics, *ud all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Prevent! ve,
And 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 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
tho most cundid mitnls. because all ilie resources of
science had been tuxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
alt their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, aud whefaYuch remedies fail; or give only
temporary relief, their puis. nous effects are superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tho makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that tlieir potency depends
solely upon destructive pbisous.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Wort Hy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Harmlessness,
The lolluwing certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, aud a
copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle:
New York, June 11, 1866.
“1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either iu it, nor have Ifouud
any substance iu its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES 11. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It i< a stubborn fact, then fore, 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 disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases beiug produced by one anl
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and nut 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 docs 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 buttle.
It. will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. Tlie
very best thing tor general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, tlie object of which is to c.eause the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Koinemtier that where
this is necessary, or there is eustiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of the antidote will he seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates., and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also tho air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
and destroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode 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 the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ache Cure” blown in tlie
glass, and ou the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (tho copyright of which is secured) ami tlie
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken (o prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced aud used. These
will be considered sufficient.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ihe
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillas. Pills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in w riting this noto
for publication, is to induce the public, or nt least those
who are afflicted, to use oue that contains articles of
JiVul Use iu Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that iu
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessioßally,aud oerogn
torily to the interests of Medical Science aud Ihe regular
Practitioners of M-. diciue. I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1. 1855.
O. 0. Woodman—Pear Sir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
forts: better than any other article I ever met with. 1
would be pleasod to have you send urn half a Jc.._u but
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason, M. P.
This preparation lias attained a w ide celebrit y from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, affd in fact, pny pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from Its peculiar properties ns a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspejgic remedy, it will
also lie found excellent, Its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that thia is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the 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 the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to la- better than any Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant. ’

UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF

ANTIDOTE TO MALABIA:
Equally certain as a l’revoutive or Cure.
NO POISON. PROOFS !
See what the Presideul of the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria:
st. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Aguo
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, 1 was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for the medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quautity, mostly to residents of this city, who hare inva
riably been cured by it, aud to whom 1 can refer. I am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be nil that
the proprietor represents.

Providence, June 23, 1855.
Having been informed of the illness us a pour, but
worthy woman, who has net been fra e from Fever nml
Ague a month at a time for the last twelve years, I sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took iu all four bottles whicli completely re
stored her to health and strength, und as four mouths
lure now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma

James A. Rhodes, Esq. —Dear Sir: —f have just sent
nn order to Ames Si Holliday for another half gross of
your Feveraad Ague Cure, it lias sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and 1 have only two buttles on hand. One reason it
hits sold, is because when I have heard of a ease of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and teld them to try
it, aud if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had one ease
of Chili Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

But not a bottle has come back, and as 1 am almost out

punctual in payment. 1 inclose fifteen dollars ou the
medicine I have received, for which please send me a

failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the eenefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthnra if Panama, several
months since, and in spite of th • different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my heal jgrew worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Since that time 1 have not had a single chill, and ant
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur m tdicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire
to say, for the benefit of the aitlicted, that Win. N.
Kow’e, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testily to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergym in 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 the same Balsam some time without relief
until lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours trulv,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Uns.oiicikd Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir— l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
’ ‘ W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. E., Ga.. Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
‘•'ho has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all I
can in its sale. * W. A.HAYLES.
It any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible inio 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 nil 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 were reluctant even to
take the Cure oh commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they
endorse them all. nnd it will be noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish pit h immense quantities are always
neiv and late dates—altogether they would more than
till any newspaper, and prove the fort of a greater suc
cess and sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use us a preventive. Tims 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 the 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
whoso constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of Intemperance or dissipation.

add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, rj
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in if 1
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Plat j

emphatically, that in future the Cotton Planter shall.- 1

Alabama’s 1 ndustry, as demonstrated in the triumph i
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama su’ I
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “will tab- t
step backward” its progress is onward and upward to'J
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, t 1
by the members of the Society, that the Planter.
