NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared by N. VV. Seat, M. D. Bensons why it aliould bo used instead of any other treat ment iu all febrile affection*: 11.-Uconiny of Time.— As only one-seventh vi the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. ‘Atl.—Economy of Money.— As it custi but one dollar. 3rd.—Economy of Feeling.—As it saves the suffering oi’ 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; blit little of the fluid lining necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. 4th.—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. 5 th.—Economy of Health.— As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subjoct to be followed by chronic disease. Oth.— Economy of Life. —As the cure iselfocted before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might lie added, but those are deemed HtilUoient to satisfy uil classes mid perrons in all condi tions of life. The strove reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, Imt will apply witli equal force to cases which have been subject t u to or have ueuoino reduced, corresponding of course •o tue nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. s As this remedy give* so prompt, effectual and perina uent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, uml very naturally conclude th y wars not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘"it was trilling -a little cold, which gave alarm —It could have been nothing of consequence—lt would have passed off with out anytliiug—that medicine had uoeffoct.” The general impression ou the subjoct of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case ns naturally as men think lit all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them nli very ti itiing cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur win ro there Is some organic or local cause so great os to require particular attention, or though success ul in redlining the fever, it will again rise as the Influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, as tlie exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in sum cnees that I have given and frequency refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Kcmnrks on Fevera in Uenersh On this subject I wish to he fully understood, lly tlio lerui “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human trams Is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; *>ut as they si iso by a great variety of causes, ami in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in thoir development ami exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet ail are distinguished by the same general eliuiacler i-tics—that oi undue excitement in tnu circulatory and nervous system.)—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of boat, dry ness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advauco, l quote from the colebrafcd I’rof. T. Watson, ul King s College, London, whose work ou the “ l’riuci pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of one medical colleges, and consequently etAliulardauthueity iMi page 834, he says:—“We hear continual) v, both in i,ii<i out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Il.v the public, Typhus Fever, Uruin Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full us particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adytiamic, Gastro-Enteiie, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded fl at the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is lmd ami 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, that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance aud 1 would imprest ou your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling youiself about a “ name if you have lever, treat it at ouce us hereafter directed, and you will it uidl instead of any distinct character being devel oped, So as to be properly named by the most sciunliiic. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or vision., of mi ml, Imt ou experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of casus (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear tills in mind, and treat at unco without regard to mime, and rest assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers, lint ns cruses may have lio i ome developed before the * Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some oilier treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible (lie proper course to ho pursued in all of tl.o most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Rules important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist.

When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should uot he questioned as to thoir 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 be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, hut be left quiei to all intents and purposes. stl). Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. nth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while iu the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a littlo spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which w ill give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common does. Old }iersons do not require us much as young, or those in (lie prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary iu giving it to children —those often years of ago frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, ns a general rule, children nsjuire more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will bo found agreeable in all of its effects, tlie expectations of the most sanguine realized, ami many perfectly astonished. .My object iu being thus particular is, that the full benefit of tlie medicine limy lie obtained, and not ou account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent Fever. Hive a touaponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) ouco in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitute* the whole treatment in nil simple cases of fever, with sncli observances us are set forth in the “Rules.” But should there bo prominent local symp toms, or kn >wn local existing causes, they should he attended to at once, and while giving tlie “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. if in any case the bowels are particularly constipated or coulined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the tlrst portion ; they must be opened or tlie fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running lit) or upwards, and the patient is uot particularly susceptible to the Influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two touspoousfiil may be given st first with ndvautage, am! even repeated In two hen"*—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened, thus slrowiug the medicine lias taken effect. Bathing the surface witli water at an agreeable ’eiuperaturo, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and w ater, iu these difficult eases, will afford relief aud aid the mi iicitie much iu taking effect. Congcitlv* Fever. Give two tessp'Mnsful anil repeat every two hours till i tie pulse become* more foil and soft, then only a tea suoouful, to bo discontinued as tlie fever subsides. As tlie bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very dlfllcnlt to get medicine to operate in tlili disease, no time should lie lout to get them open give some active cathartic w itli the “ Fluid” aud repeat as .my he neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) nmy also he used to advantage; also, mustard to tile extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the .amts or flannel; also, cold applications to the bead. Quinine may he added to the ” Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Xervoni Fever, Typhus, Ship sad 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 anil wiry, .. ,tli a general great depression, there is no practical use In separating them—at least so far as m.v treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, w hen fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this hut a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent i oifvalescence. Tlie treatment should lie commenced—which mav immediately follow any other without dutriment with u tenspooulul of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulso becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued nee in si* or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In had cases, from three to live grains each of quinine aud capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. Tlie bowels should lie kept gently open, and .small portions of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even though the bowels should lie very loose. The patient should he sustained by nourishing and mucilageuous drinks—such as arc in common use iu such cases.— Where tlie skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected iu bilious fever, will he found advantageous. Tonics should he used during convalescence, iu all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. (Jive a teuspoouful of the “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine glassful of a strong decoction of honeset; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The honeset tea should bo given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or tlie patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ol the kind, to he upplied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variolu, Varioloid, Rubeola und Scarla tina} or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, tlie treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “ juime,” whether it is one or tlie other, or neither, us they uil commence with Jrve.r, hut treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no trouble; there will be but little eruption even iu email pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly mukc tlie assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be. cut short ; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, unit tiiat there is no ruoxssdy of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake uot only my reputation, but a.I that 1 hold most dear; besides, ou this subject, i have good authority; that of Prof. Walson, previously quoted. lie suys, page 874: “ You may abate tlie force of tlie eruptive lever, and keep down, It is believed, tlie number of the pustules by spline purges, kc.” Here is the admission that it may lie done. 1 nave not only proven it may be., Imt has been done in numerous cases that occurred on hoard ship. See the account appended. Uivo a tenspooulul or more, according to tlie urgency oi tlio case, with a dose of sails or castor oi); repeat tlie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient; hut it should he given ami repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When tlie throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may ho used, and the surface bathed, us thought advisable. in one case, ou the ship Duchessd'Orleahs, the tongue uml tiiucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he wch cured by dropping tlie Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given in tcaspoonl'ul doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlie throat was ‘ educed so as to enable Inin to take nour ishment in about 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 and alarming malady to which tlio mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a touspooiiful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need tie entertained, ns the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. Tlie bowels of course should he attended to. in connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the Indies, will save them much pain and suffering, ft is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains und difficulties; it must ho tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will ho relieved at ouce by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of tlie ills of iemales, if not the most so of any medicine known. lis effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will uot force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may bo or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate means, und these soliuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, us they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I call ail else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the ttrst dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended witli diarrlnea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlio “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of Litter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tin* head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlie feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry und hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi cine ill taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if tlie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulautß, particularly in low fevers, in absence of lever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tlie patient lias beaame re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiliug, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie 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 the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; iu snort, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlio “Fluid” at the same time os directed, und success will crown your efforts j indeed, you cannot realize it till you have scon, and then you will he astonished at tiie 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 what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, und to lie fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on tlio bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tlio roots or harks, and many pills, untibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good forsuch purposes. Hepatics.—Anything known to act outlie liver particularly, (-ortal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by tlie different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the - Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may chooso calomel—auothor, bine mass—the third, podophyKiu—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and lie suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such ns check the action of the bowels, laiuiianuiuund other prepare: ions of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have tlie 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 tlie only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, thougli many otheis are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” •• anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in the materia medica. I shall not tax the reader w ith 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 racket*litp Duchess D'Orleans. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates: )Ve, the undersigned, certify to the - following, viz— We took passage ou the paeketship IhuTiess d’Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’ and bound for New York. She sailed ou the 9th of Au gust, 1851, with over n hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among tlie emigrants, They were all treated by the physician in charge,Dr. N. \V. Scat, witli anew remedy ofhis own, which lie calls Negative ’ Elec tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control over tlie disease, arresting it in n few hours, and curing in a very short time. During tlie voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there were about eighty cases of small pox. some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured witli unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on tlie oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so 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. Signed, E. P. Kami, 84 Pearl street, New York. E. G. Faiiri, “ “ “ 3. A.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habit.-; of the sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remov e that Cause. By the laws oi Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or xuse of disease, there is a re agent. or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Slugnani water, decompo sition of animal mid vegetable mailer, or even new!’ cleared lunds, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, aud 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 any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use ; It will instantly cheek the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, aud by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will he effected; the patient,"J ‘)tin ning free from the complaint for ever, unless subsequent exposure to malaria should umk“ its use again necessary. In its operation upou the poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague discuses, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other rnede cities. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, (ind continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever aud Ague may ho bauished from every family aud class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people ntuy he using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tlie most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CUKE iu every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all iho resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious discuses; und wliat was still worse for ugue sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drags, 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 puis nous effects are superiulded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sutler, is should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may he taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that tlieir 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 Confidence, Because ot its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from on • of the most celebrated chemists iu the United States has been obtained, aid a copy of it is attached to evei y bottle: New Yoke, 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 olid Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. Oil 11/TON, M. 1)., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tlie 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 more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine lie taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect ilicmsclves by tlie timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often he found necessary to precede this medi cine liy a mild cathartic or untibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil. the object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where 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 the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining (dates,, aud place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising front the medicine, and also tlio air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie words, -Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cure” blown in the glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secHred) aud the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance fob its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will he considered sufficient.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the cenefit it lias been to me. 1 was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th - different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal ;.- grew worse until I 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. Wishing y jur m -dicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day's paper will he found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of pulling medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Vm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg. who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Doonsboro, Aid. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir— l cheerfully testify to the Yiilue of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the sumo Balsam some time without relief until he got abottle of your Cure. So far it works like a chaTm. Yours 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 three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Y'our Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, anil de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. HAY LES. 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 info every town and village in the United States, Canadas, &c. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R.Ctdlton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is th-reforo optional with all to have the Fever and Agudor not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorso them all, anil it will lie noticed that tho letters of which 1 publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fillany newspaper, *.,nl prove the fact of a greater suc cess and 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 tlio warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United states would over have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Y'ollow 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 und permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or P’lious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or imy kind of intemperance or dissipation.

It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and by the members of tlie Society, that the Planters aud Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama, will rally en masse to the support of Alabama’s only (ex clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ ol the Ala bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may bo unfettered in tlie great work of developing the ini measurable resources of the Keystone State of the South. “Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Slatiula tures and the Slechauic Arts,” tlie object of the Jmeri can Cotton Planter is to “ Improve tlie Soil and tire Mind.” Witli a corps of correspondents, numbering many i-l the most practical as well as scientific minds of theSuuili. wo feel assured we sliali he able to visit our patrons on the first of each month, to tlieir entire satisfaction ami profit, Every family in the country, whatever msy be then avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper: I*- cause there is no reading matter published to the world so innocent, and at the same time so practically prehta ble in all the walks of life as that obtained in a good ugi■ cultural Periodical.
