It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that I have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.” Itciiiur ha on Fevers in GeneruK (In this subject I wish to lin fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to w hich the human frame is subject, including small pox ami other eruptive fevers; but as they arise liy a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they ol course dilicr considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all arc distinguished by the same general chiuneter istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems —inducing morn or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the -kin, debility, Ac. To show thul I am not wholly alone in the opinion I oilance, I quote lmm the celebrated I’rof. T. Watson, ol King's College, London, whoso work on the “ I’rinci pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of . air medical colleges, and consequently slanda lit a iilluuity. On page 83-1, be says:—“We near continually, bolli in and out of llic profession, different species of fever spo kon of.

Ami systematic writers are to the lull as particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Giudro-Eiitcric, and r.i forth. Now . admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It encourages n disposition, til ready too prevalent, to pic . l ilie for a disease according to its name. There is no him of geimiiio distinction hotween continued levers, Hud can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each oilier, eypu the most dissimilar of them, and are often tniceabl* to tin; same cause.'’ The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress uu your minds the lolly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, uud you null be well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, sinus to lie properly named by the most scientific.

Itut as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, cither by neglect, nr under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to lie pursued in ail of the most prominent fevers, though the “ links” and “Bynopals” will lie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. h'nles imimrtant to be observed in nil catten in using the Negative Electric Fluid.

In connection with this subject. 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the bulics, w ill save them much pain and suffering-. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing edi c t deprives the labor ot much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once 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 con veuient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not (lie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing ail excitability and iritahility ot the nervous as well as tlie circulatory'. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli and quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use in so many eases. Synopsis. To avoid auiauint repetition, and condense the treat ment ;is much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all coses. As the Negative F.leetrie Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the uunw it may be or ought to he called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, w hen such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these solmld he given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they w ill then more readily act. producing moro general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the % Fluid” alone will sub due the fever. I cftll all else auxiliary treatment. If tin* bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlio first dose, or soon after, and should it luil to operate iu due time, repeat the dose: if attended u ’iMi diarrluea. give something known to lu* good for that complaint, though if caused liy irritability, the 4 * Fluid” w ill soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wot in cold water, to the part: if violent pain iu the head, appjy cold water, ice water, il convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet iu hot water: if tin* lever is very high, skin dry ami hot, with great suffering, sponge or bat lie Hie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature: ‘•the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble: it tin* patient ita been reduced or is much prostra ted. give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low levers, in absence of fever or when indicated: also, during convalescence, when the patient has fwoine re duced : il there is nausea and vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do:iMy goad: for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic (o cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tin* stomach has settled, give the *• Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms us yon would under any other circumstances, giving the ••fluid at the same time as directed, and success win crown your efforts; indeed, you cauuot realize it till von have seen, and then you will bo astonished at the ease with which you rati control all febrile excitement.

BROWN’S WASHING HVr^YdE-IIiNL. q\HE Inventor in introducing his new Rotary AVashi; _L Macliine to the notice of tlie public, does so withtl confidence that in all cases where a fair trial is gnu they will be as they have been by those who have. them, pronounced to be tlie best Machine for wasliik now in use, aud capable of performing more work in;, less time and with less damage to the clothes than other AV'ashing Machine now made. He claims for this Machine, that it will cleanac 1 clothes from dirt in 15 to 30 minutes and leave thenu, tirely clean, ready for boiling and rinsing. It will do an ordinary day’s washing in an hour a. docnnol wear the, clothes more than uveAenth as mini when washed by hand. It is adapted to washing front tlie finest Muslinatoil coarsest clothes, Blankets and Carpets. It can be worked by women or even a 12 year old 1. and is so simple in its construction that almost any I, can repair it —if it sliould ever need it—and will will, dinary care last from 5 to 10 years. life - One of (lie great merits of this Machine in adilits to tlie facility in washing—is that the clothes are. not out by washing. By tlie ordinary process of w.ifliic clothes are more injured than by wearing. This ufa tage together with the fact that it will do ten tiniest work of hand labor, should induce every Hotel, limn! House, and family to have one. These Machines are sold for Casli only, delivered a; shop—price 813. Directions for using sent with eve machine.
