The CRops.-We have recently had
occasion to traverse the interior of
Iowa quite extensively, and we MOTTO
ed almost universally good crops, re-
warding the husbandmen for their
toll. In Warren, Polk, Jasper, Wap-
clio, Jefferson and Henry counties,
the corn bids fair to be as heavy
yield as ever has been produced in
the country. In most of the counties
the wheat crop is excellent. In Lee
county from Charleston to Keokuk,
the corn will be almost failure un-
unless late rains and favorable fall
may bring it out. But the farmers
are compensated by the abundant
yield Of the wheat crop. In all of
these counties mentioned the oat crop
is very short in the straw but generally
well headed
Iowa will have an immense surplus
this year. Owing to the closing Of
the Land Offices for the present, the
emigration here this fall will be com.
paratively light hence we must seek
a market elsewhere than at home

A Human Life Saved.

DOWaglac, Mich, March IL, 1856
j. A. RHODES, EsQ.-Dear Sir 4: AS took
your medicine to sell on consignment, no cure
no pay, I take pleasure in stating its effects as
reported to me by three brothers who live in
this place, and their testimony is q fair speci-
men of all have received:
w. s. Conklin told mel had taken nine
bottles of Christies Ague Balsam, and continu-
ally run down while using it until my lungs
and liver were congested to that degree that
blood discharged from my mouth and bowels,
SO that all thought it impossible for me to live
through another chill. The doctors too did all
they could for me, but thought i must de-
Nothing did me any good until got Rhodes
Fever and Ague Cure, which at once relieved
me of the distress and nausea at my stomach
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced
a permanent cure in short time.'' irat
IL. M. Conklin says II had been taking
medicine of as good doctor as we have in our
county, and taken any quantity of quinine and
specifics without any good result, from 18th
August to 18th December. But seeing how
nicely it operated on my brother, got bottle
of Rhodes Fever and Ague Cure, which cffec-
ted permanent cure by using two-thirds of
bottle" i.HfsB
S. NJ. Conklin was not here, but both the
other brothers say his case was the same as III.
Ms. Isold the medicine to both the same
uoy uiiu tAC SuiC was SPECIFY lTClu Tie same
small quantity, and might so specify.
Yours with respect,
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself Good proof as
it is, it is Of better tenor than the vast num-
Der of like certificates have already published
and the still greater amount that is still pour
ing in to me. One thing more. Last year
had occasion to caution the public in these
words II notice one firm who have taken
one of my general circulars, substituted the
name of their nostrllm for my medicine, and
then with brazen impudence send their panl,h-
let with the exclamation, Let the proprietor
of any medicine say as much if he dares. '&c.,' +
Now take pleasure in saying that tine can
ton referred to the same Dr. Cnristie's Ague,
Balsam that is mentioned in the above ccrtifi-
cate. There ags several other industrious Ipeo-
pie who are applying TO their poisonous trash
ali that publish about my Fever and Ague
Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, except the oertifi-
Gates Of cures, and the certificate of the cele-
brated chemist, DR.. james r. Chiffon OF New
York, in favor of its perfectly harmless charac.
ter, which is attached to every bottle. These
will always serve to distinguish my medicines
from limitations. JAMES A. RHODES,
