,wi!iNATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. W. M. D,
Keasons why it should bo used insteiui of any other treut
ment in all Febrile affections:
1 t.—Keoiiom J- of Time. —An only one-jet until
of 11 1 ordinary time in required to effect a cure.
‘Ad.--Kuonnmy of Money.— An it c >sts but oue
(toller.
3rd.—Economy of Peeling.—An It Haven the
Battering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little ot the fluid lieing necessary,
and that pleasant iu its effects.
Economy of Thought. —Aa when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
sth. Economy of Health.— An the tystsiu
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
tith. — Economy of I. lie. —As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, iu a corresponding degree, nil danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might lie added, but these are deemed
suttioient to satisfy all clusses and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons ur more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
*■> the nature of the case at the time it is lirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent reliuf, in all ordinary cases, when used sism after
fhoalturk, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli y
veer not attacked wdo luver, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gate alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have pu-sed off with
out anything—that medicine had Uueffect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above lbllow the cure of a common case
it-i naturally us men think at all; and it is not unti. 1
ihc iu liviaual lias witnessed many casus that lie can fully
rniiuii the U uiii; and even then ho may poudadu tli 11
nil very hilling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, ydt persons, though they hate
been Hills succussful iu perhaps hundreds of cases, must

..iganie . oral onnse so great as to require particular
atieiitiuu. or th nigh success ul ill reducing the fever,

uguiust disappointment in sued eases llmt 1 have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have culled a “ synopsis.”
Him (tries Oil leaver* Iu llenerab
On this subject I wish to lie fully understood. I!y the
term “fevers,” I comprehend ull febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including sniiill pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut its they arise by a groat
variety of causes, and iu quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety el’ forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics —that o. undue excitement in the circulatory mid
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency iu the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone In the opinion I
advance. I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
■ i King’s College, I,melon, whose work on the “ Princi
pit und Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, und consequently thtiulurdaidlu/rity.
tin page .11 liesays:—“We hear continually, both In
and out of the profession, different upsides of fever spo
ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, lirain Fever,
llilioiis Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the foil as particular:
Vlnoons Fever, Ainxlc, Adynamic, thwtro-finteric, 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 had 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,
tiiat can he relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of ttuT- and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great tact, one worthy rd remembrance
Upd I v uld impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you,sell alums, a “name;” if you have
fever, treat il at once ns horeafter directed,’ and you
oil! be. well instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on . loset specula
tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, eye. thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under n great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons ami climates, lle-ir this in mtml,
and treat at once with ut. regard to name, and rest
assured you will sis)n ho freed from all dread of linger
ing ami dangerous fevers. But as cases 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 ho pux-sued in
till of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own
quantity of wator, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation iu tile
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
fld. It must lie continued whomever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; flue from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, i.or
attempt to cou verse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of nil extra
neous influences, indue, .hem to rise or speak; nor
should auy conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel mure or less interested, hut be loft
quiet to all intents and purposes.
6th. Fluids sir. aid be allowed, while giving it tu,
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, liny simnle decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
tith. Should patients exporieuee any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness alter the fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to sponk of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, honour do with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant ; or the face and
breast may bo bathed iu cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief)

Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola anti Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet .Fever.
As ull of these diseases are attended with fever, which
iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from t hat of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “ name,” whether it is one or the
ether, ur neither, as they ull commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will he but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded witlt ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will on cut slant; attended with but little erup
tion; little ur no pitting, aunt that there is nu neotstdy ul’
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, hut a 1 that 1 hold most dear;
beside-:, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“Von may abate the force of the e.uplive lever, and
keep down, It is believed, the number of the jtustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that il may
he done. I nave not only proven It maybe, hut has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See the account appointee).
Given teaspoonful or inure, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of stills or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once iu two hours if nueossary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the lever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, und the
surface bathed, us thought advisable.
In one case, on the slop Duchess and Urleans, tlie tongue
and faueus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could sw allow,
when ii was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to he ul little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tile
Fluid will ariosi it iu u short Lime, it should be re
peated as long ns the foyer continues, as in oilier cases,
ills bowels of course should he attended to.
in connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which,’if regarded by
the ladies, will save them muck pain and suffering, it
is to into; in t hern ol’ tho happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor ol much of its pains
und difficulties; ft must be tried to he appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will he relieved at onuo v com
mon done ami retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tho most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of tlie ills of females, if not
the im.st so of any medicine kuown. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tho whole system, removing all excitability
and iritahility of Iho nervous as well us tho circulatory.
J t will not force sleep liko opiutes, hut it will sooth and
quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally aud
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Syixopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tli i condition called icver, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name, it may be or ought to he called, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot Le ex
poefd to control all organic or local causes, which,
when eucli exist, must h<> removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in auy case, they should
be appropriate luenne, and thes soliuld be given while
giving me “ Fluid,” and in onuecUon with it, when
occasion requires, os they will then more readily act,
producing more general ellect, 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 hovels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tho lirst dose, or soon after, and should it
tail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
•hat complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“ Fluid” w ill soon relieve that condition; if severe local
imiu or inflammation, apply sonio stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in tho head, apply oold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooliuigt application,’ and bathe
•he feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with wuter at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief &m,d aid the medi
cine iu taking cltect, after which (U will be no trou
ble ; it the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tunics aud stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in, absence of fever or when indicated; also,
dmiug convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed befiure any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose l generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; wher the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the. prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, aud success o will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it til) you
have seen, aud then you will he astonished at the case
with which you can control nit febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what, is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood hv
nil, l Will muni'a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz;—
Cat barites.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, auttbilious, Ac.; anything
kuown to ho good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything knowu to net on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools’
for this purpose, will answer whep used in connection
with the “ Fluid” or while tho sysem is under its ip-
II tie uce. And one may choose calomel—another, hltto
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice amt bo suc
cessful.
Tonic-..—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or th.iroughworL is one of tlie best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check tho action of tho
bowels, Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, nut properly astringents
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne poppet , is omj of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only ( busses necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia medico.

WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
7VT /A T.AH.IA OR. MIAS3VIA.
r 1 ’ll KSB diseases are common to many localities of the
_LUnited Mates; hut wherever they prevail. North,
faouth, Fast or West, they all equally spring from the
same miasma! cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution und habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is the same, they will ail equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
liy the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
ugent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All Materia,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and etfeot; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toail who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting bettvei n op
posites, there in in the preparation before us, offered to
tlie public,
The Natural Autidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact w ith it, even in the open air, and 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, and un
known to auy but the proprietor, tvlio distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly cheek the ague in persons who have
suffered lie any length of Mine, from one day to twenty
years, and by contiuniug ‘ s use, according to tile direc
tions. a radical euro 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 will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, aud when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility a<l Niglit Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mede
cinea. The patient at once begins to roever appetite
aud strength, and continues to improve until rest ‘red to
perffiot health.
liy its use Fever and Ague may he banished from
every lauiily and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And puisne their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them tlie most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of the CUrtK in every part of
the United States, its stiedeas In s been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved tkoee assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the dale of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
too most candid uiiuus, because all the resources of
science had been taxed In vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and wliat was still worse for ague sufferers,
ul 1 their remedies or treatment, whetliei scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, stlch as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercery, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their puis nous effects .ire superadded
to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that, their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of Its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Coulideuce,
Because of its
Singular aud Entire Harmlessness,
Tlie following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists tn the United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle:
New York, June 11, 1555.
“1 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 cither in it, nor have Hound
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to tho constitution.
“JAMES R. Oil tl/i’ON, 3il. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, hut 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 mere valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the ono
under consideration, if the medicine bo taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an 1
the name cause, and therefore ali, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely uso
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take tlie Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
tho poison before it does harm.
Full directions aud advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a disUuguishen Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or ant ihilious purgative. The
very best thing for general uso is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleans,- the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is caitiveneps, itxt’sT he taken
or the operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
OnJ y Caution. —Tu certain specified case?, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates, and placo them iu
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
und also tlie air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud oestroy, to a degieo commensurate with its exp -
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise lie
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Agee Cure” blown in tho
glass, and on tlie outside wrapper,is the name of Hie
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tire
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent, counterfeits aud imitations.
The reliance ror its sltcxss is kntireiy upon its
actual merits, wheicver introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

HAVE received the appointment from the proprietor
for the sole agency of
Woodman's Cherry Expectorant,
the medicine that lias created such an excitement at; tho
North among tlie Physicians, and has been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman’s Cherry Axpectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesnmine,
the pure decoction of Wild Cherry Hark, and many other
valuable ingredients that, render it far better than any
other Cough Medicine in this country.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Dtseuh.d Lungs, under tlie titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pill*. Piasteis. Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice tlwoiigh the newspupers by
way of advertisements. My object m writing this note
for publication, is to induue the public, or at least tliose
who are atUd ied, to uso cue that contains articles of
Ileal Use in J'uljtumary Diseases, i am conscious that in
so doing. 1 tun acting mos* unprof rsinnally,and deroga
►orily to tlie interests of .Medical Science and the regular
Practitiouei* of M- J icin' l I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, wlucli Is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of tho usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

O. 0. Woodwax—Dour Sir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am v. 11 pleased with its ef
fects; better than auy other article I ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send mohftif a dozen bot
tles by the licarer. Kesp*ctMi)]y,

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
♦lie universal succer- which has attended its use. For
coughs, Colds, and in fact, any pulmonary ron-nlaints
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as n dissolvent
and its soothing power to aD Ilrltations of the throat
will probably bo preferred to any other offered to he
public. As an appetizer, or (lyipentir remedy, ii will
also lie i'ouikl excellent, its natural ami genial warmth
keeping tho digestiv power- in proper lone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
lias stood th. 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 satistaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Coil Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant.

GREAT TRIUMPHS
AND
UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF
RHODES’ FSVEK AND AGUE CUBE,
OR
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
NO POISON. PROOFS !
See what the President of tho Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidoto to Malaria : .
Hr. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analyse
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mer
curp nor Strychnine, aud having received numerous ap
plications for it, I was induced to Bend to Dr. Rhodes
for the medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer. I am.
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.

Providence, June 29, 1855.
Having been Informed of the illness of a poor, but
worthy Woman, who has not been fre e from Fever and
Ague a mouth at a time for the last twelve years, 1 suje
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took in ail four bottles which completely re
stored her to health aud strength, and as four months
have now elapsed, there is no reason todoubt the perma
nency of tho cure.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent
an order to Ames A Ilalfiday for another half gross of
your Feveraud AgueCurc. It has sold like “ llotCakes,”
and 1 have only two bottles on hand. Oue reason it
has sold, is because when I have heard of a case 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 case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on tho sixth dav well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

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 benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills aud fever on the Isthmu ii Panama several
months since, and in spite of tli ■ different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my heal 1 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 in the enjoyment of good health.

I remain truly yours,

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Eept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
AGEE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit-—a few days since she got. a bottle of
the Curo and lias not had a chill since. A young man
also used tho same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So tar it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rov. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have heeu in the practice
of Medicine hero for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
per sect success. Respectfully yours.
’ ‘ W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. It. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 18§J5.
Your Ague Curo has overcome all prejudices fry its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who lias been fully cured by only one bottle, aud de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all 1
cun in its side. W. A. HAY’LES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of tho CUBE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly os possible into every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New Y’ork, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to havo
the Fever and Ague or not, just us 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 could not bo realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will be noticed that tlie letters
of which I publish *ii li immense quantities aro always
new and late Gates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove tho fact of it greater suc
cess and sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy.
The Clowning Glory
of Abe Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Tims protected liy
using a buttle or two during tho 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 pcison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is alsomiequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to nil
whose constitution* have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or ifilkiu-, diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of Intemperance nr dissipation.

in thus formally announcing the Prospectus for th
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short parag apliit
add, sanguine in the belief that, with the itncUigun.
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement iu th

Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in the triumph.®
success of tlie first Annual Fair of the Alabama fto
Agricultural Society, tho Cotton Planter -williaki v
step backward” its progress is onward and upward uni
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, ail
by the members of tlie Society, that tlie Planters ;
Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of ALI®!
will rally eu masse to the support of Alabama’s only •
clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the a.
