NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,.
Prepared by N. W. Seat, 91. D.
Reasons why it should t>e lined instead of aiiyotlier treat
ment iu all Febrile affection*;
I at.—Economy of Time.—An only otMcgmU
nf (lie ordinary time in required to effect a cure.
‘fil.-'Kcenoiny of Money. —An it c *ts but one
dollar.
3rd.—Kconomy of Keeling.— An it nave* tbe
suffering of a limit sicltnenn and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance f taking naunaatiiift dimes of
medicine, tlieir disagreeable o|ieration, and the pain of
long confinement: but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4-tli.— Economy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
sth. —Kconomy of Health.— As the system
in not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is thefover
subject to lie followed liy chronic disease.
Oth. — Kconomy of Life.—As the cure is effected
before and without reducing tho patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might he added, but these are deemed
sutttcient to satisfy alt classes am) persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are 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
to th nature of the case at tbu time it is iirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual ami perma
uent relief, In all ordinary oases, alien used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they luid
been really ranch sick, and Very nutur.iliy conclude th y
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling
-a littl- cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of eensoqneiMe—it fgpuld have passed off with
out anything—that medicine bid noeflect.” The general
impression on the subject us fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above loilow the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
Hie individual has witnessed uiMiy cases that lie can fully
realise the truth; and even then lie may conclude them
all icry ti illing case.-, wliii h would have readily yielded
to any simple uietliciiia, yet persons. I .hough they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect tiiat there will uses occur win re there is some
organic or local cause so great ns to require particular
Hip'iitiou. or though success ul in red. elng the fever,
it will dfjr&iu rise ns tho influence of tie’ fluid’ passes
off. as tiio exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
Ilgams’ disappointment m snen cases that l have given
slid fn ~.eli’ly refer to u iial 1 have called a"• synopsis.”
Hemarks n Fevers lie (feneral-
On this object I Wish to be fully understood, lly the
term “fi vers,” I comprehend all ftdir*!n affections to
wliirh the human frame is subject, including small l>ox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of eausos, and ip quite dissiuiihg’ constitutions
an I habl.H, they of course differ Coin-iderably ill their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished vtlie “ame general cbaracter
iific*—that. <*l undue exi Itemept In tbo circulatory ami
nervous systems- inducing more or less unnatural fre
qu icy in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, &c.
To show that I am not wholly alone in llie opinion I
alliance, I quote from the celebrnfcd I’rof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, whose work on the “ I’rlnei
pies mi l Pracfii H of Physic” Is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently sluiidardauthiirUj).
Hi page mil. lie says:—“ Wo bear coutiiiuall,, both in
and out of the pi ifossion, different sjairies of fever spo
ki ii of. lly the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, l.ow Fever, N* IT VO us Fever,
..u And systematie writers aru to the full as particular;
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, fiustro-Knteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever allows itself under
various forms, I urn persuaded that ttie effect upon the
mind of all this a. . -division, is had and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pic
scribu for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that ran he relied on. They run insensibly into each
ether, even the most dissimilar of them, arid are often
tiaceahlo to the same cause.”
The above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the fully ‘if hunt'ug
up or troubling yourself out a •'name;”'if you lnive
fever, treat it at once as herenfter directed, awl you
rill lie toell instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is e > hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye. thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates, li, this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to nano-, and rest
* assured you will soon bo freed front all dread of linger
ing aim dangerous fevers, but as eases may have l*v.
("ino developed before the ‘•Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as hr tly os possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies”
and “Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Hides important to he observed in ttU rases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity at water, amt may he sweetened or not at
plea’ jro.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always lie free ventilation in the
sick’ m.) nor attempt to gn ale it while under its in
fluence.

or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it

•Ith. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
bo left perfectly quiet; fi ■ from all excitement: should
not bo questioned as to tlieir wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation lie allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, tint be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it us
plentifully, and ns long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold o. warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
nth. Rio mid patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so ns to occasion a
icstlessness after the fever has passed oft’, 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 fare and
breast may be bathed in cold wutor; either of which
will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered ns adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old petrous do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
imr females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular Care necessary iu giving it to
children—those of tou years of age frequently having
taken 1 i doses: but for a little guide, 1 have given tho
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
i hlldreu require more than adults iu proportion.
by observing the übovo directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable iu all of Us effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realised, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full bonetlt of the medicine may lie obtained, and
uot ou account of any actual netrstily of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Krmfltrnl Fever,
Give a teasponfUi of “ Fluid'’ (wo rule Ist) mice iu
two hour*, till the fever is evidently passing elf; tliis
constitutes the whole treatment in till simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
•• Itiilcs.” Hut should there tie prominent local syinp
toins, or known local existing causes, they should he
attended to at otioo, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or routined, give a eatliartic (see auxiliaries) with the
hi t portion : they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upward, an l the patient is unt particularly susceptible
to tho influe nee of medicine —not easily ojiorated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two toaspoousful
may be given at lirst with advantage, and even repeated
in two hour* —if it—the pulse—has not. been so/tened,
thus showing tins medicine lias taken effect.
llatking tiie surface with water at au agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
llive two toaspoousful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, thou only a ten
spoonful, to bo discontinued as the fev >• mil wide). As
the bowels r e generally routined, and i, is frequently
very and ‘ioult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no tim could he lost to get them open, give some active’
cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may he neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also l>o
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or Haiinel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may !• added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As those fevers are u: of one chara ter, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
email and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no , .uetieal uso in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned, in these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patieuoe will lie requires!; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while w ith this hut a few days
will be neeessa. , at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment ahould he commenced—wliieh may
immediately follow any other without detriment with
a teaspoonfhl of•• Fluid” every two hours, till the pulso
becomes fuller or larger In volume, then to be continued
snee In six or sight hours till the frver entirely subsidss.
In bad canes, from three to five grains each of quinine ]
and capstetun (Cayenne pepper) or some Umn: and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should ho added to e;ich doer. The |
bowels should Is) kept gently open, nn) small portions ■
of somo hepatic should ho given occasionally, even ’
though the bowels should be very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and inucilageuous
drinks—ouch as are iu common use in such cases.—
Where tho skin is v<uy dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be ioiind advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(live a teasjsxinfui of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strongdecoction of b"iieset; or
iiaif the quantity may la- given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say unco in six or eight hours.
The boiieset tea should ho given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayod, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowel* gently open.
Variolu, Varioloid, Itnbeola and Scarla
tina; or Sinali Pox, Varioloid, itlcaaleu,
and .Scarlet Fever.
As all ol these diseases me attended with lever, which
iu fact is lire most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as Urey all commence vidh /ever, but
treat it ut once; govern the O ver ami tliero will be no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even in smull
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will he regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, tiiat small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will l/e cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there in no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. ini this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, bnl a 1 that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; tiiat ol
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“ You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, tt is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, .be.” Here is ttic admission that it may
be dom . I nave not only proven it may he, but has
h.m done in numerous cam s Hist occurred on board
ship. Hoe tiie account appended.
tiivo a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat t lie
Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
siiios—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
hut it should he given and repealed sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of thu ordinary gargles may lie used, uud the
surface bullied, as thought advisable.
In one carte, on the ship Duchess d''Orleans, the tongue
and faun is were so much swollen that the patient could
nut HwnlliiWor speak, and ho was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
alien it was given In teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms di appeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in alaiiit twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wot tle< throat frequently, it iH 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 thu
Negative hdectrle Fluid with such readiness, os to seem
to lie of little eonsequcnce. A single dose or two of a
toa-q>oi,nl ti I, almost invariably giving entire and pei
moneiit relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as tho
Fluid will arrest if in a rhort time. It should he re
prated as long ns the f.'ver continues, ns iu other casus.
The hii-.ve!s of course should |.o attended to.
In coiniis’tion with this subject, I cannot refrain from
Hoiking a lew general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save thorn much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect ol’ the Fluid in
many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it, must tie tried to he appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose uud retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of Ihe 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 the nervous as well us the circulatory,
it will not lone sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally anil
healthy; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis,
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases, As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tint condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
numc it may beer ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot l ex
pected to control ail 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
lie appropriate means, and these soliuld bo given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, wlion
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 tho fever, i call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) witli the lirst doso, or soon after, and 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, ico water,
if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe
tlio feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great sulferiug, sponge or butlie the
wlm|e surface with water at au agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tile medi
cine in takiug effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if tho 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 lias become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good ; for this purpose I generally give somo
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeod, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and thou you will be astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about wlmt is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
t at tin i t tea,—Articles that purge or operate oil the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilions, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, jau tal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the ortides depended on by tho different schools
for this purpose, w ill answer when used in connection
with tho “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and lie suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
asquluiue, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Routt
sec or tlmroughwnrt is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bow els. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are genet ally
used, but the Negative Klectrie Fluid is t.ct'cr “dia
phoretic,” •• anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” aud
“sedative” than known in the materia in edict.
I shall not tax tho reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Pncketshlp Ductless IVOrlcana.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
We took passage on tho paeketsliip Duchess d’Orlonns
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France’
and bound for New York. Stic sailed oil the 9th of Au
gust, 1861. with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among tho emigrants, They wore all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. X. \V. Scat, with
anew remedy ofl-.is own, which lie calls Negative Klec
trie Fluid, witli which ho seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty eases of small pox. some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced Hint tho medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affoctions being controlled with
so much ease, promptness nml certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

.South, Fast or Went, they all equally bpriug from tiio

forms of disease is owing principally to ditiereuce in age,
sex, couHtitution anti habits of the sufferers; but, as the
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove Uiat cause.
liy the laws of Nature, every principle has its op|>oftite,
and for every disease, or cause of iliseuse, there is a re
agent, or br other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition ol animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lauds, is the same in character and effect; is a jM>i
son boating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting betweefi op
posites, there is iu the preparation before us, offered to
the public,
Tire Naturul Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in the open air, and w hen 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 any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use :
It will instantly check the ague in persons who have
Buffered 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 patieut contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria slum hi mak 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 tin? disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Xight Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mede
cines. The patient ut once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
Jiy its use Fever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class in tbe community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pui sne their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
w hich is often to them tho most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of the CIIKE 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 ext inordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all the resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse lor ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, Saliciuc, &e.
The effects of these arc, sometime* worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, tlieir poi.s nous effects .ire superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret fr'ever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may be takeu with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that tlieir potency depends
solely U|)on destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof tha ihoKetnedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Wortiiy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular anil Entire Iliii-mlessness,
The following certificate from on of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to cveiy bottle:
New York, June 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, anil have tested
it for Arsenic, .Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have Ifound
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to tho constitution.
“JAMES R. ( ’ll 11,TUN, M. D., Chemist.”
It i-s a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to tie unequally good work by
preventing tiie taking of oilier medicines which do harm.
Tho entire absence of tiny baneful ingredient makes
this ltemo'iy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed ns the one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
Tliis is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
tiie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of lifo
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious cl:mate now accompany each bottie.
It will often bo found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a milil cathartic or antibilions purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor OH, the object of which is to cleans:: the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Rcmcmlicr that wliero
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour
tiie 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 tho medicine,
and also tho air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up liave the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside w rapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will ho considered sufiici nt.

tidote to Malaria:
St. horns, Mo., Nov. 10, 1856.
HAVING noticed the certiticate of chemical analysis
given by the celelnaied chemist Dr. J. R. Chiitou,
of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quiuine, Arsenic, Mer
cur)> nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it. I Mas induced to send to Dr.

quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have iuva
riahly been cured by it, and to whom 1 rail refer. 1 am,
therefore, rat is tied in recommending it to he all that
the proprietor represents.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent
an order to Ami s A Holliday for another half gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure, it has sold like” Hot Cakes,”
and 1 have only two liottles on hand. One r tv-oil it

or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and teld them to try
it, and if It did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it. and they were all satisfied. I had one ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came

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 and fever on tho Isthmn if Panama, several
months since, and in spite of th • different remedies
and treatment 1 adopted, my heal i .'grew worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. —
Since thnt time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur medicine tho success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in

cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
iu the family of a clergyman here lias been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for somo months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottie of
the Cure and has not liad a chill siui-e. A young man
also used tiie same Balsam some time without relief
until he got abottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Y’onrs truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about threo 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. R„ Ga., Jan. 1, 1808.
Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its
merits, anil given satisfaction. A gentleman just culled
who lrns been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it lo everybody. 1 shall do all I
can in its sale. ‘ W. A.HAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible in o every town and village
in the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. it. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
tlie Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
I can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers arc those who a year ago wore reluctant even to
take tho Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all, aud it will bo noticed that tho letters
of which 1 publish su h immense quantities aro always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fillany newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess aud sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm nml sickly sea
sops, not a tuun woman or child ill the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Uilious or Yollow Fever, or any form of disease arising
ftoui tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tho
v are is a iierj'ect untidate.
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 ot intemperance or dissipation.

AMERICAN COTTON PLANTER
FOR 1850.
rpilE Fourth Volume of the American Cotton Planter,
1 will commence with the January number.
In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for the
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs to
add, sanguine in tbe belief that, with the intelligent, in
ilustrious patrons of progressive improvement in the
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Plan;
ing States, and especially Alabamians, tbe past history -1
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In tlie first place, we remark to our friends and leariei
that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become the Pnblisl,
er and Proprietor; and wo hereby assure our reailens.
emphatically, that in future the Cotton Planter shall F
sue promptly by tlie first day of each month.
Flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibitionet
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in the triumphant
success of the first Animal F’air of the Alabama Btan
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will taken
step backward” its progress is onward and upward to lie
highest niche of improvement.
it is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, awl
1-y tlie members of tho Society, that tho Planters ami
Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama,
will rally en masse to tlie support of Alabama's only (ex
clusively) Industrial Periodical, tho Organ of the Ala
baiiia State Agricultural Society, (hat its elliciency may
be unfettered in the great work of developing the im
measurable resources of the Keystone State of tlie ioml
“Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Manilla
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” tbe object of the -tnieri
can Cotton Planter is to
“ Improve tlie Soil and the Mind.”
With a corps of correspondents, numbering many ul
the most practical as well as scientific minds of the South,
we feel assured wo shali be able to visit our patrons on
tbe first of each month, to their entire satisfaction anil
profit.
Every family in the country, whataver msy be tlnii

cause there is no reading matter published to the world
so innocent,and at tlie same time so practically pn-hw
ble in all tlie walks of life as that obtained in a good agri
cultural Periodical. Tlie American Cotton Planter will
issue promptly by the first day of the month. It will he
