A Human Life Saved.
Dowagiac, Mich. March II

.' DOWds,EtC, MlCll, MATCH IL, 1000.
j. A. RHODES, EsQ.-Dear Sir: AS took
your medicine to sell on consignment, no cure
no pay take pleasure in stating its effects as
reported to me by three brothers who live in
this place, and their testimony is a fair speci-
men of all have received:
w. S. Conklin told me--"I had taken nine
bottles of Christie's 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 l must die
Nothing did me any good until l 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
H. M. .Conklin says: II had been taking
medicine of as good a doctor as we have in our
county, and taken any quantity of quinine and
specifics without any good result, from 25th
August to 18th December. But seeing how
nicely it operated on my brother, got a bottle
of Rhodes Fever and Ague Cure, which eflec-
ted a permanent cure by using two-thirds of a
bottle"
S. NJ. Conklin was not here, but both the
other brothers say his case was the same as H.
Ms. I sold the medicine to both the same
uay anu the cure was us speedy from the same
small quantity, and l might SO specify
Yours with respect,
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself. Good proof as
it is it is of no 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 l
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 nostrum for my medicine, and
then with brazen impudence send their pamph-
let with the exclamation, Let the proprietor
of any medicine say as much if he dares,' &c."
Now take pleasure in saying that the eau
ton referred to the same DR.. Christie's Ague
Balsam that is mentioned in the above certifi-
cate There are several other industrious peo-
pie who are applying to their poisonous trash
all that publish about my Fever and Ague
Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, except the certifi-
Gates of cures, and the certificate Of the cele-
brated chemist, DIR. 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,

| ton and encouragement which have been ac-

CANT form, the largest amount of the best

great body of American people rather than to

the last five years attended the efforts made to
carry out this plan, is the best incentive to,
and guarantee of its further continuance.

magazine have SO ample means for rendering it
attractive been at the disposal of the publishers.
They have now awaiting for insertion contri-
buttons from the best writers and most emf
nent artists in the country. The Editorial de-
partment will continue to present it's accus-
toned variety, embracing every topic, from
the gravest ethical discussions to the most pi-
quaint details of gossip and anecdote. The
publishers feel warranted in assuring their
friends and subscribers that the forthcoming
numbers will exceed in beauty and interest
any heretofore issued
Each number of the magazine will contain
l44 octave pages in double columns, each
year thus comprising nearly two thousand pa
ges of the choicest Miscellaneous Literature of
the day Every number will contain numer-
GUS Pictorial illustrations, accurate Plates of
Fashion, a copious chronicle of current events,
and impartial notices of the books of the
month The volumes commence with the
numbers for June and December but subscri-
bers may commence with any number.

tiers, and will make liberal arrangements with

ing new and prodigious promises, we submit a
few extracts from notices of late numbers,
which we might extend to a number of pages.
''Ihose familiar with the Editors monthly
Gossip with his readers, have doubtless, with
ourselves, admired the perennial source of it,
pleasant wit and joyousness. In each number
the gossip holds on its way like some fair riv.
ulet glancing and dancing in the sunshine of q
May morning. We used to wonder how Mr.
Clard held out, expecting he must certain ly
snow brown in the coming number; but a.
yet we see no sign of exhaustion. -NMiona
Aatelligence, Washington.
'No one ever rose from the perlsal of the
Knickerbocker disappointed reader. What.
ever may have been his anticipations they
have always been rewarded. When he took
up new number, he felt sure of literary
treat: it was no mere snowy repast he was in
vited to. Did he seek the grave or didactiC
essay, the touching story, poetic gems, or the
humorous tale, he was always sure of finding
tina object of his search. And then, besides,
there was the Gossip of old 'Knick. always
looked to with eagerness, never put down ex-
cept with regret that there were not more pa
ges of inimitable random sketches-the Knicl1-
hacks of that repast. Courier, Natchez, Mss

A MONG the numerous discoveries science
N has made in this generation to facilitate

none can be named of more real value to
mankind, than this contribution of chemistry
TO the healing art. A vast trial of its virtues
throughout this broad country, has proven be-

control and cure the numerous varieties OF

to believe a remedy has at length been found
