As shell known, It will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend Is “Ick. . . 9 Hi.- Economy of Hcaltli.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently rucked; nor is the lever subject to be followed by chronic disease. rtl h.—Economy of Life.—As the cure iscilected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a Corresponding degree, all danger ol a fatal termination. Ollier reasons might Is- added, hut these are iloomed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The als>ve reasons uro more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on 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 rase 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 the uttuck, persons can scarcely realize that they had tieeh really much sick, anil very naturally conclude they were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have been nothing of censequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had noc/lect.” The general impression on the subject es fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the *ala>re follow the cure of a common ease as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many coses that he can fully realize the truth; aud even then he may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have teen thus successful In perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases .sour where there is some organic or locul cause so great as to require particular attention, or though successful in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, ns the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that I have given and frequently refer to what 1 Imve called a “ synopsis.'’ lirmarlts on Fevers In General* On this subject I wish to he fully understood. Hy the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the liuinan frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, anil in quite dissimilar constitutions uud habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exliil.it .. variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished hy the same general eharncter- Istics -that Os .indue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less nunsturul fre quency in tl.e pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, 4c. To show that 1 an. not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, 1 quote from the oelebrafed Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ples ami Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently iMtnlmfMy. in. page 104, he soys:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, difteront species of fever spo ken of. Uy tl.e public, Typhus Fever, Bruin Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Jsiw Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full ns particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uustro-Kntcric, und so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, 1 oin persiiadod that tile effect upon the mind ol all ll.is si.ldivision, is Isut and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its ime. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that cat. be relied on. They mi. insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are 011.-n traceable to the same cause.’’ The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds tl.e folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, unit you mill be well instead of any distinctcharact.-r being devel oped, so as to be properly named by tl.e most scientific. This assertion Is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases ;hy myself anil others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, aud treat at once without regard to mime, and rest assured you will soon he Ireed front all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But ms cuses may have be come developed before the “Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, i will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though tl.e “ Buies” aud “Synopsis ’will he amply sufficient for all those accustomed to si tendance upon the sick. Rules important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. lit. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of witter, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always l. free ventilation iu the sick room,) nor ntten.pt to go ulMuit while under its in ttuence. d.l. it must be coutini.ed whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to la. resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case nmler any circumstances. 4th. When the lever begins to subside, patients must tie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not ho questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to cou verse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural fittings, independent of all extra neous influences, iiotiicf them to rise or speak ; nor should any conversation lie allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel moro or less interested, but la* left quiet to ail intents And purposes. ftth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it ns plentifully, and as loug ns the patient desires and uo 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. titli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness alter the lever has passed off, or enough to occasion tliMu to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulaut; or the fare and breast may lav bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

There is no partiettlar care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses ; but for a little guide, I have given the above table, with file remark that, us a general rule . hitdreu require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realised, and many perfectly astonished. My object in Mug thus particular is, that the lull benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, aud not on account of any neftail necessity of such strict ob servances. Dillon* or Hrmittriit Fever.

As all of these diseases are attended w it), fever, which in fuel is tl.e most prominent symptom, tl.e treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers, llcu.emtx-r never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is ouu r Mo odier, or neither, as they sll commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern tl.e fever ami there w ill la- no trouble; there will Is- bill little eruption even iu small pox. Tl.is, to n.oHt minds, is anew idea, aud doubtless wiß la regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make tl.e assertion, Hint small (six, if treated as I direct, will lie cut short; attended with but little erup tion ; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On tl.is 1 will stake not only my reputation, hut all that 1 hold most dear: besides, on tl.is subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it Is believed, the number of tlir pustule* by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tl.e admission Mint it may be done. 1 nave not only proven it mag be, but has been done in numerous eases that occurred on board ship. Bee tl.e account appended. (live a teas|sioi.fiil or more, according to tie- urgency of the ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever snb sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient: lint it should la* given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When tl.e throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may lie used, ami the surface bathed, us thought advisable. In one case, on tl.e ship Duchess d’Orlcuns, tl.e tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured hy dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, wl.en it was given in teaspnonful doses eren/ hoar, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tl.e swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in alxmt twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tl.e throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such eases. Puerperal or;( lill<llx <l Fever.

A single dose or two of a teas|HM>nful. almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no ulnrm need Is* entertained, as tl.e Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fver continues, as in other eases The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded hy the lailies. will save them much pail, and suffering. It is to inform tltem of the happy effect ol’ the Fluid in many of their trials, iu child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tl.e labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must Is* tried to be appreciated.—- Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Itestlessness, nervous irrituhiiity, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved l>y its use ; in short, it is one of tl.e most convenient and effectual remedies for many of tl.e ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility of the nervous ns well as the circulatory It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will so.,tli and quiet the system ao that one can sleep naturallv ami healthy: lienee ita use iu so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid eoustant repetition, and condense tl.e treat ment as much us possible. I give under tl.is head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tl.e name it may he or ought to la* called, it should lie given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which when such exist, must lie removed in order to effects permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should Ik* appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while giving the Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as 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 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the .lose: if attended with diarrli.ca, give something known to tie good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local [tin or iiiltainmation. apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part: if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the teet in hot water: if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature: the saline wash, vinegar and water or spirits and w-ater, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect. after which there will lie uo trou ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient lias become re duced ; it there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie allayed betore uny medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good: for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water if given plentifully, will answer every purpose ; when the stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat ail the prominent symptoms > ‘"“•‘T ■*<>>• other circumstance*, giving the “ Fluid at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed.you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement Auxiliaries.
