NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, ! Prepared liy N. VV. St( ( M. I). Kcasous why it should be used instead ol any other treat- \ juout in all Febrile affections : I at—Kconomy of Time.—A* only one-seventh of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. ‘id.Rcoiiomy of Money.—Ah it cost* but one dollar. 3rd.-Kronoiny of Feeling—As it saves the Buffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat in'-nt ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doees of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain ol’ long confinement; out little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. IIP. Bconomy of Tliouglit.—As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. Sfb —Economy of Health. —As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to lie followed by chronic disease. Util.—Economy of Life.—As the cure iseflfected before and without reducing the patient, consequently reinoviug, in a corresponding decree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other remains might he added, but these arc deemed Hulticient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons arc more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the lirst attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course *o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. As Ibis remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling -a little cold, which gave alarm —it could luivc been nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had uoelfuct.” The general Impression on the subject of lever is such, that thoughts mil unlike the above follow the cure of a common case ns naturally as melt think at all; and it is mit until tin- individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully realize tlin truth; and even then he may conclude them all very Hilling canes, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful ill perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success ul in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the inttueuco of the “Kluld” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that L have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Feveri lu Geueral* On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. Ity the term “levers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which tlie human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but us they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by (he same general character istics—that ol undue excitement in the 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 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the eolebrafer. Prof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the “ I’riuci pies and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. On page HIM, he says:—“Wo hear continual!,, both ill and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, l’utrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Knteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is Inal and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be. well instead of any distinetcharacter being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. Tills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specnlo t ions or visions of mind, hut on experience at (lie bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by my. .If and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rebt assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as eases may have be come developed before the ” Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in all of tho most promin ut fevers, though tho “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. hales important to be oiiscnwd in all eases in using the Negative Electric Fluid.

When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or tuke any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, hut be left quiet to all Intents and purposes. filll. 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 sirnplo decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm, us parties may prefer or patients desire. rah. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while lu the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has 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 and breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid tlie medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. (five two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a t** i spoeuful. to be discontinued as the fever subside). As tho bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease no time should la* lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may ho neces sary till it operates; eueinas (injections) may also bo used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or frlotlon (rubbing) with the bands er flannel; also, cold applications to tlie head.

Ah all of these diseases are attended witli fever, which in fact it the most prominent symptom, the treatment ililli is line little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “ name,” whether it is one or the oilier, or neither, as they all commence wills fever, but treat it at once; govern the lever and 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 |>ox, if treated as 1 direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, uud that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only nly reputation, lint u,l that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of I’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “ You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, anil keep down, it is believed, tho number oj the pustules; by spline purges, Ac.” lierois tlie admission that it may be done. I imvo not only proven it may be, but hut been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship, bee tlie account appended. (jive a teaspisinful or more, according to tlie urgency of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub siilcs—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient; but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. \\ lieu tlie throat is affected, any of the ordinary garglos may bo used, and the surface bathed, us thought advisable. In one case, on tlie ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue and fuucns were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured hy dropping tlie Fluid on Ilia tongue, drop hy drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given in teaspooufut doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlie throat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours hy 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 tho mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teospoonful, almost invariably giving entire uud per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re peated as long as the fever continues, as iu other cases. The bowels id course should be attended to. in connection with tills 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 in many of tlieir trials, lu child-birth, its relaxing arid soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to bo appreciated.— Painful menstruation will he relieved at once hy u com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold tuken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient and effectual remedies for many of tlie ills of females, if not tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tho whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility ofthu nervous as well us the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet the system so that, one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use In bo many cases. Synopsis. To avoiil constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as in noli as possible, 1 give under this head geueral directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition culled fever, or subduo and control it under ail circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may he or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when sucli exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appiopriate means, ami these sohuid 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, la-sides no unnecessary time will then he lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or Siam after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the doso; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to he good for that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, the “Fluid” wiUsoon 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 tlie head, apply 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; ‘*tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will bu no trou ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during conx-lescence, when the patient lias become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any goad; 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 tlie “Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat ul) tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “Fluid” at the sume time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will he astonished at tlie **ase with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Turtles may feel at a loss to know what is meant hy cathartics, Ac., us physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using tlie Fluid, and to lie fully understood by all, I will name a few of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to. v iz.:— <il liarl tea.—Articles that purge or operate on tlie bowels, kucli us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or harks, and many pills, autihilious, Acq anything known to lio good fur such purposes. lie|iat ics.—Anything known to net on the liver imrticulurly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on hy the different schools lor this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while tlie system is under its in flueuce. Aud one may choose calomel—another, liluo mass—the third, podophyllin—tho fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice ami be suc cessful. T onics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various bulks, roots and bittor herbs. Bone sec or thoroughwort is one of tin* best used in fevers. Ast rtngent . —Sucli as check tin* action of the bowels, laiuilnuum and other preparations of opium are used; aUo, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have tlie effect. Stimulants.—Articles tlint raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tin* essences are all nniro or less stimulating. These are tlie only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, liut the Negative Electric Fluid is u brt'er “ dia phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in tho materia mrdica. I shall not tax tho reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on t lie Psckstship Ductless D’Orlenns. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz— We took passage on the packetsliip Duchess d’Orleans, Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France, and bound for Now York.

From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used hy Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution uud habits of the sufferers; hut us tlie cause is the saute, they will alt equally yield toareincdy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Jlalaiia, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decoin po sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in tliu atmosphere, causing disease toail who breathe it. lu accordance with those unalterable laws governing tiio unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to tlie public, The Nulurul Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities tlie system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to bo entirely new, aud un known to uny but tlie proprietor, wiio distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free front the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison in the system, it w ill immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the discuse is cured, it w ill eutirely prevent the accession of General Uebllity uud Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other utede ciues. Tlie 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 ho banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, mo chan ics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tlie must valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, tit the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlie most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wind was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, sucli as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, uud when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their puis nous effects are superadded to tiie poor sufferer’s lirst complaint. On this account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, uotwithstandingtho makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken witli perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that tiie Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Wortliy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Kntire Harinlessness, Tho following certificate from on of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, Hint this Remedy is destined not only to re.ieve 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 tlie one under consideration, if tlie medicine he taken in advance. Tliis is owing to tlie diseases being produced hy one and tlie same cause, uud therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves hy tlie timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it docs harm. F’ull directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished I‘liysiciau 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 autihilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tlie object of which is to cleanse tho stontacii ancl free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he taken or tin* operation of tho antidote w ill lie seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising front the medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, w ill counteract and destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. Tliis mode of exhibiting tiie Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to muliiriims situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Auue Cure” blown in the glass, and on tho outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tin* copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits uud imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and Used. These will he considered sufficient.

Rhodes —Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the Benefit it has been to me. 1 was first attacked by chills and fever on the Istbmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th * different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal t jgrew worse until 1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. — Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now iti the enjoyment of good health. Wishing y jur m idicine the success that it inerts, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. lu another column of to day's paper will be fouud an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Will. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that ho sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsberro, Mil. Sept. 4. Evidence from n Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1805. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in tlie family of a clergyman here hits 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 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 w’orks like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. BUBOIS. 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 w ith perfect success. Respectfully yours, W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. It.. Ga., Jan. 1, 1850. Y’our Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only ono bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tlie CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town “and village in tlie United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. K. Chilton, of New Y'ot k, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tlie Fever anil 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 on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions cotilii not lie realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters <*f which i publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove the tact of a greater suc cess and sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory of tlie Cute is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use ns a preventive. Thus protected by using a lioltlo or two during the warm nml sickly sea sons. not a man woman or child in tlie 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 tlie Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving now 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.

In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for Hit- Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs to add, sanguine in tlie belief that, with the intelligent, in dustrious patrons of progressive improvement iu tin- Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Himl ing States, and especially Alabamians, tlie past history and the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation. In tlie first place, we remark to our friends and readers that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become the Publish er and Proprietor; aud we hereby assure our readers, emphatically, that in future the Cotton Planter shall 1- sue promptly by tbe first day of each mouth. Flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibition ul Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in the triumphant success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama Stair Agricultural Society, tbe Cotton Planter “ will take in step backward” its progress is onward and upward to tlie highest niche of improvement. it is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and by tlie members of tlie Society, that the Planters and Farmers, tlie Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama, will rally en masse to the support of Alabama’s only (ex [ clusively) Industrial Periodical, tlie Organ of the Ala- I llama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may be unfettered in the great work of developing the im measurable resources of the Keystone State of the South. “ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Mnnufar tures and the Mechanic Arts,” the object of the Jiiiui can Cotton Planter is to “ Improve tlie Soil and tle Mind.” With a corps of correspondents, numbering many I tlie most practical as well as scientific minds of the South, we feel assured we sltali be able to visit our patrons oa the first of each month, to tlieir entire satisfaction and profit. Every family in the country, whataver msy be then avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper; la cause there is no reading matter published to the world so innocent, and at the same time so practically profits ble in all the walks of life as that obtained in a good agri cultural Periodical.
