A Human Life Saved.
DOWagiac. Mich. March IL /

DOWdSldC, MICH, MARCH i, 1890.
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- had taken nine
bottles of Christie 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 must die
Nothing did me any good until got Rhodes
Fever and Ague Cure, which at once relieved
meof the distress and nausea at my stomach
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced
a permanent cure in q short time"
H. M. Conklin says 81 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, etfec-
ted permanent cure by using two-thirds Of a
bottle X
S. NJ Conklin was not here, but both the
other brothers say his case was the same as H.
MS sold the medicine to both the same
day, and the cure was as speedy from the 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 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
had occasion to caution the public in these
words 81 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 Ltake pleasure in saying that the eau
ton referred to the same DIR. Christie's Ague
Balsam that is mentioned i'm 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 Antid0te to Malaria, except the certif-
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

Was my delight, my hope, my all;
Oh, pure and holy, free from strife,

I clasp that hand, that heart 30 warm,

So fraught with love, knew no harm,
As those dear arms my form entwine

She heeds my warm appeal to stay;

TEACHINGS OF SLAVERY

TEACHINGS OF SLAVERY.
We of the free north, entertain the
old fashioned notion that, School
Houses and Newspapers, are useful in
situations; that tits well to learn to
read and write, and to be enabled to
Investigate and understand, not only
the ordinaryafairs and relations of life,
but also that for people who make
their own laws, and elect their own
rulers, and who have business inter-
ests and relations with every civilized
nation on the Globe, it is we'll that we
understand our own rights, wants and
obligations.
Not SO, with the advocates of Slave
ry.-A writer in the Richmond enquirer
says that reading and writing are
the means, prbably the worst means,
of acquiring knowledge and wisdom
that the time, employed in their ac-
QUESTION, is of itself time lost, for it
prevents the enlargement of the mind
from observation and experience"
He says the laboring man is very
generally the worse for knowing them,
first, because the time he is shut up in
school is so much precious time lost, in the
most impressible period of life from
observation and experience; and, Sec
ondly, if he does read, it is only for
low stimulation and excitement and is
confined to Murrers murders, Greeley's
paper, and Dickens novels.
Such is the test at the South, of
mans ability for self-government, and
the wise appreciation and enjoyment
of the blessings conferred upon him,
by a kind and munifccnt Providence.s
Such are the teachings of slave
ry. Is it strange, then, that in the
free North, among the descendants of
the Puritan Fathers men who have
been taught to look upon the "School
House," as next in Importance to the
temple of God is it strange, we say !;
that such men should loathe and repu-
date an institution, whose well-being
and sustenance, depends upon the re-
pudiation of all their pre-conceived
notions Of wisdom, morality and re-
ligion dubuque Tribune.
