NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Pftptrtd toy N. W. Not, I*. D.
keasons why it should bn used instead of any other treat
ment lit all febrile affection*:
I at.— Kconomy of Time.— Ah only one-seventh
of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
3d.->Kconomy of Money. —Ah it costs but one
dollar.
.‘ird.—Kconomy of Feeling.—Ah it Haven the
suffering 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 of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in itH effects.
4tb.— Kconomy 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
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
til li.— Kconomy of Life.—As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
re moving, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these are decmud
niiUoient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment oil the first attack, hut 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 rose at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
ilie attack, persons can scarcely realise that they had
open really much sick, and very naturally conclude thy
wer.i not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have beep
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
•cl unlike the above follow the cure oi a common case
an naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
flic individual lets witnessed many eases that he can fully
realists lue truth; anil even then he may concltide them
all very billing cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
boon thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
„xpect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great us to require particular
stii-ntioii, or though success ul in reducing the fever,
it will agaiu rise os the influence of the “ Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cau<.„ may still exist, it is to guard
against disappointment in suen cases that i have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have ealluil a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In Uenerab
Oil this subject I wish to lie fully understood. Uy the
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which I lie human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but us they arise by a great
vurhsty of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development ami exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished hy the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in thu circulatory and
nervous systems—lnducing 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
sdvnueo, 1 quote from the eelebrafed Prof. T. Watson,
id King's College, lam don, whose work on the “ Priori
pies and Practice of Physic” Is it text Issik in ninny of
. ur medical colleges, uinl consequently staiutardaulhority.
On page 834, liosay*:—“ We hear continually, both in
mid out of thu profession, different s|ieeies of fever spo
ken of. Hy the public, Typhus Fever, Kruin Fever,
llillmis Fever, Putrid Fever, lx>w Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full its particular:
Mucous F'ever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Knterie, mid
so forth. Now, admitting Hint fever shows itself under
various forms, I aui peruddod that the effect upon the
mind of all this suledivision, is Imd and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
lino of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
Unit can be 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 imprest on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about u “ name;” if you have
lever, treat It at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well lustead of any ilistiuctcliarncter being devel
oped, so ns to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion Is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, lint on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thoiisunds of cases
(by luysvlf ami others) under a great variety of clr
euiustaucos, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
Mid treat at once without regard to name, ami rest
assured you will soon be freed from ul! dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut, os coses may have lie
couie developed before the ‘■ Fluid” is given, either hy
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
tis briefly as possible tile primer course to lie pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Hules”
mid “ synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Hales important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should lie given in throe or four times its own
quantity of water, and may lie sweetened or not at
pleasure.
fid. Patients must lie free from all currents of air,
though there should always he free ventilation in the
ick room,) nor attempt to go about wlillo under its in
fluence.
.Id. It must lie continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
liegius to rise again, should such tie the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
tie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, road or takeuny exercise whatever,
till tlieir own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should auy conversation bo allowed in tlieir hearing, in
. which they may feel more or loss interested, but be left
quiet to all iuteutsand purposes.
fith. Fluids should bu allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires und no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties muy prefer or patients desire.
Oth. Should patients ex|ierience any oppression or
faintness while ill the lyiug posture, so os to occasion a
i ostlessness after the fever lias passed off', or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face mid
breast may he Imllied in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of oue year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under fi years, “ fi to 15 “
“ “ fi “ 5
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teasgiooiiful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonihl is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, us a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for u little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, ns n general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
Ity observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
or the most sanguine realized, aud niauy perfectly
astonished. My object in belug thus particular is, tlnit
the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
not on accouut of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Ullloiis or It cm It tent Fever.
Hive a teusjioiiful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off'; this
constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
•* Itules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they slioufd he
attended to at once, and while giving Ilie “Fluid.”
Moo Synopsis.
If iu any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartk’ (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must be opeued or tiie fevor may rise
again.
Whore the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, aud the patient is not particularly susceptible
in the Influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousl'ul
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus s! wing the medicine lias taken effect.
Bathing the surface witli water at an agreeable
tsui|ierature, the suliue wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in takiug effect.
Congestive Fever.
Hive two teospoonsfnl and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
snoouful, to be discontinued as the fever subside). As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate In this disease,
ne time should he lost to get them o|a)n, give some active’
cathartic with the “Fluid” aud repeat as may lie neees
sury till it operates; enemas (Injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may la- added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. ■ See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, witli a general great depression, there is
n practical uso in separating them—at least so far as
mv treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but n few days
will lv necessary at longest to establish permanent
convalescence.
•he treatment should lie commenced—which mav
(immediately follow any other without detriment witli
a teaspoonful of >• Fluid” every two hours, till the mdse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
nee in six or eight hours till the fover entirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to tivo grains each of quinine
aud capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (Bee auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently open, aud small portions
of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even
though the bowels should lie very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagcuous
drinks—such as are in common use in such coses.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases
which hove become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaapoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bonesot; or
half the quantity may ho given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should ho given worm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
tile kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola ami Scarla
tinal or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Ncarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, tho treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Itemember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is oue or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; goveru the lever and there will be no
trouble; there will be but little 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 the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will be cut ilu/rt; atteiided with lint little erup
tion; little or no pilling, und that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. Un this I will stake
hot only my reputation, but a;l that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
I’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 374:
“ You may abate tin, force of tiie eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission mat it may
he done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. Sec the account appended.
(five a teaspoonful or more, uccording to tiie urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of tiie ordinary gargles may lie used, and tiie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one cose, on the ship Duchess d’Orleuus, the tongue
und faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, und lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when ii was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tiie swelling of
the throat was reduced so os to enable him to take nour
ishment in alsiut twelve hours by the Fluid alone. —
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous anil ulariiiing
malady to which tiie mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should bu re
pealeii us long as tiie fover continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection witli this subject, 1 cannot refruin from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering. It
is to inform them of the huppy effect of tiie Fluid in
many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing und
soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.—
I’ainful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com
mon dose andretiring. Kestlessuess,nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at u delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tiie most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tiie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tiie whole system, removing all excitability
uud iritability of the nervous us well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep liko opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that oue can sleep naturally and
healthy; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and oondcuse the treat
ment us much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tiie Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may lie or ought to lie called, it should be giveu
wherever or whenever it existH; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when sucti exist, must be removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur ill any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soiiuld be given while
giving tiie “ Fluid,” and in connection witli it, when
occasion requires, us they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then lie lost. As the *,Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 cull all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) witli the first dose, or soon after, uud should it
fail to operate iu due time, repeat the dose; if attended
witli diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for
that complaint, thougli if caused by irritability, tho
“Fluid” will hooii relieve that condition; if sevure local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter lieyhs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tho part; if
violent paiu in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tho feet in hot water; if tiie fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tiie
whole surface with water at un agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will bo 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 convalescence, when the patient Ims become re
duced; if there is nausea aud vomitiug, that, must be
allayed before uiiy medicine will remain on the’ stomach
to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tiie
stomach has settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; lu short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other cireumstunces, giving the
“ Fluid” at the Hume time as directed, und success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, ami thru you will lie astonished ut tiie ease
witli which you can control nil febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Harries may feel ut a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about w liat is used. I have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cat Hurt its.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, untibiliuus, Ac.; anything
known to be good for suck purposes.
llepwtlcs.—Anything kuown to act on the liver
particularly, portul circulation und accretions generally.
Any of tiie articles depended on by ilie different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu
tluencc. Ami one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopliylliu—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take liis choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonies. —Articles that give toue or strength, such
us quinine, various bul ks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
sex or thoroughwort is oue of the best used in fevers.
Astringents. —Such as check the action of the
bow els. Laudanum aud other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Ntimnlnnts. —Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tiie essences tire all more
or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than kuowu in the materia medico.
1 shall not tax the 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
Packet ship Duchess D'Orlrnns.
which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz—
We took )Mssage oil the tmeketship Duchess d’Orlcaiu
Capt Hutton, then lying In the port of Havre, France’
ami bound for New York. She sailed oil the i)th of Aui
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tiie snuiil
pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all
treated hy the physician in charge, Dr. N. IV. Seat, with
anew remedy of liis own. which Tie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there wero about eighty coses of small pox, some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From wliat we saw during said passage, We ore fullv
conviucod that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion, iiossesses inestimable virtues. Wo never before
beard or road of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness und certainty, or so little
trout.le to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox anil fever on board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

New Principle ! New Remedy! No Poison! |
Rhodeu’ Fever and Ague Cure;
Oft Antidote to Malaria ;
FOR TIIE PREVENTION AND CURE
Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and
other Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of
Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp
lons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship
and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night
Sweats, and all other forms of disease
WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MAL.AH.IA OH MIASMA.
’ I MiKSii dideuses are common to many localities of the
JL United States; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring from tiie
same niiasinul cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers: but us the
cause is the sume, they will all equally yield to u remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove tiiut cause.
Hy the laws of .Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of aiiimiU and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son flouting in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who
breathe it. in accordance witli those unalterable laws
governing tiie unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is iu tho preparation before us, offered to
tho public,
‘The Natural Antidote to Malurla,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in tiie open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purifies the system affected hy it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
Tiie remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un
known to any hut tiie proprietor, who distinctly claims
tiie following extraordinary results from its use:
it will instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from oue day to tweuty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will he effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
in its operation upon the puison iu tiie system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, und when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
Geuerai Debility und Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
dries. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
aud strength, aud continues to improve until restored to
ported health.
By its use Fever and Ague uisy be banished from
every family and class iu tiie community; farmers, me
chanics, und all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as u
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of
Ilie 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, at tiie date of its
introduction, they scemod incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because- all ihe resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, 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 pois .nous effects are superodded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using auy secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tiie milkers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken witli perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that tlieir potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the lieinedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Becaiise of its
Singular and Kntire Ilarinlessness,
The following certificate from on • of the most celebrated
chemists in tiie United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eve, y bottle:
New Yokk, June 11, 1555.
“1 have inside a chemical examination of Rhodes’ F’ever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found u particle of either in it, nor have 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to and > 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 us a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance.
This is owing to ilie diseases being produced by oue un J
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents aud
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for tiie poison already
lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as n preventive, and so destroy
thepoisou before it does harm.
Full directions and advice us to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often le found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or nntlbilious purgative. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and froo the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costivcuess, it must be taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, jnmr
the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,Land place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air wailed across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
and destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or [xiisou contained in tile apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise he
resorted to when very young infants arc exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and A cue Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tiie
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 be considered sufficient.

A SOUTHERN REMEDY.
Made toy Prof. O. O. Woodman,

J. S. PEMBERTON & CO.,
UAVK received the appointment from tlio proprietor
for the sole agency of
Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant,
the medicine that lias created such an excitement at the
North among tiie Physicians, and has been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains tiie active medical qualities of the Yellow Jcsainlne,

RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Orleans. April it, 1855.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ihe
thousands of remedies for Disease and bungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillas, Pills, Plasters Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing tills note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one tkpit contains articles of
Heal Use lu Pulmonary Viseascs. lam conscious that iu
so doing, 1 am acting most improfesslonally.aiid deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine, I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of tin- usual prescrip
tions used by I'hysiciaus.
J. M. Maitland, M. B.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1865.
O. 0. Woodman—Dear Sir; 1 have giveu your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased w ith its ef
fects: better than any other article I ever met with. I
would lie pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by tiie hearer. Respectfully,
\Y. M. Mason, M. ]),
Thus preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
the universal sureess which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, auy pulmonary complaints,
tills medicine, from its peculiar properties us a dissolvent
and its smithing power to all irritations of the thront
will probably be preferred to any other ottered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural ami genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Ucmeiubur that this is the only rough Medicine that
lias stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved of. and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to ls> N-tter than any Clierry Pectoral. Cod Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant.

GREAT TRIUMPHS
AND
UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF
RHODES’ FEVER AND AGUE CURE,
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’ Fevei aud Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria;
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of New York city, iu laver of Rhodes’ Fever aud Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, aud having received numerous ap
plications for it, I was to send to Dr.
lor tiie medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured hy it, and to whom 1 can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied iu recommending it to he all that
the proprietor represents.

Had the Ague for Twelve Years!
Providenck, June fit), 1855.
Having been informed of the illness of a poor, hut
worthy woman, who Ims not been fre e from Fever and
Ague a month at a time for tiie last twelve years, 1 sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, und as four months
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma
nency of the cure.

Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1855.
James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent
ail order to Ames & llalliday for another half gross of
your Fever uud Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles ou hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle aud 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. 1 had one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see ine on tho sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Moline, 111., Sept. fi4, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—The box of “ Ague
Cure” you sent us lias all been sold und created a large
demand for more; to meet which we have ordered
from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.
Its sale will only be equalled hy the number of Fever
and Ague eases. Hoping these cases may be few-, yet
have a bottle for every case.
We remain respectfully yours,
RICHARDS & ALLEN.

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.
Maxwell, Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your medicine has met
with the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I
have about five bottles left. 1 give it to them at first,
‘if no cure no pay,’ although I was not authorized by
you to do so; but I took the responsibility on myself.—
But not a bottle has come hack, and as I am almost out
of the article I wish you would forward me one gross of
tile bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will be
punctual in payment. I inclose fifteen dollars on the
medicine I have received, for whicli please send me a
receipt. Ship the eureto uie as soon as yon can—there
never lias been as much Chills and Fever since 1 lived in
the State, as at present. Yours, &c.,
RICHARD MARTIN, P. M.

Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855.
Da. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your Cote for the F’ever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It lias not
failed in one instance to ell'ect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress
ing disease have been entirely cured by using ouly one
bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four
dozen, as we have hut three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providenck, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the Benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthniu if Panama, several
mouths since, and in spite of th - different remedies
and treatment 1 adopted, my lieul i .-grew worse until
1 commenced the use of your F’ever and Ague Cure.—
Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur m -dicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.
I. O. O. P.
In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an
advertisement for “ Rhodes’ F'ever and Ague Cure.”
We are not in the habit of pulling medicines, but desire
to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N.
Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg. who has it for sale, in
forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in
every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi
cine to be good, and wo take pleasure in bringing it
before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, hoonshoro,
Md. Se.pt. 4.
Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Sir. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. Oue young lady
in the tamily of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got n bottle of
the Cure and has not bad a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a PUysician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for alsiut three years, and cun 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. It.. Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Agile Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by ouly one bottle, aud 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 the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly os possible inio every town and village
in tlio United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. 11. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the F’ever and Ague or not, just as they please.
1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers arc those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take tlio Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will ho noticed that the letters
of which I publish su h immense quantities are always
new and lute dates—altogether they would more tlmn
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tiie 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 and sickly soa
sons, not a man woman or child in the United States
would ever have a single attack of F'ever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow F'ever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility orany kind of intemperance or dissipation.

I will commence with the January number.
In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for the
Fourth Volume, we have hut a few short paragraphs U
add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, in
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in the
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Platt

the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
Iu the first place, we remark to our friends and reader*

success of the first Annual F air of the Alabama St#!.
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will take in
step backward” its pirogress is onward and upward toil!-
highest niche of improvement.
it is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and
by the members of the Society, that the Planter? nnd
Farmers, tlio Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama

clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the Ala
bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may
be unfettered in the great work of developing the im
measurable resources of the Keystone State oftheSoutli
“ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy. Mnnnf*
