It is to guard against disappointment in such ruses that I have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.” lie marks on Fevers In General* On tliia subject I wish to he fully understood. By the term “levers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in i|iiitr dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished hy the same general charm ter isties—that pp( undue excitement in the Vlmdstipi v and nervous systems—lnducing mine or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, drynesa ~f the skin, lichlltty, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advnnce, I quote from the celelirafed I’rtpf. T. Watson, <p| King's College, I,<<nd<in, whose work on the “ Prim i pies and Practice of Physic” Is a text lss>k in many of ppiir medical colleges, and consequently standanl authority. •In page 834, lie says We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Hy the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Qiistro-Kntoric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows Itself under various forms. I am persuaded tlmt the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already t.s, prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction In-tween continued fevers, that ran lie relied on. They run insensibly into each oilier, even the most dissimilar of them, and tire often traceable to theaume cause,” The above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ud I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about n “no me;” if you have lever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and yon t vitl be torn instead of any distinct character being dcvcl oped, so as to In- properly named hy the most scientific.

Hear tills in mind, and treat at ouco without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon l,e freed from all dread of linger ing nail dangerous fevers. Hut ns eases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe os briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in all of tlm most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for nil those accustomed to attendance upon tin- sick.

The swelling of tho throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment ill about twelve hours by tin- Fluid alone.— Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gurgle in all such cases.

I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much I'tiin and suffering. It is to inform them of tlie happy effect of the Fluid in many ot their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to lie appreciated.— Dutiful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com mon dii and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient and effectual remedies formany of the ills of females, if not the most so ofuny medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will uot force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy : hence its use in so mane esses. Synopsis.

BROWN’S WASHING iMLAOIEiriXrE. riWIK Inventor in introducing his new Rotary Wasbi* X Machine to the notice of tlie public, does so with ti confidence that in all cases where a fair trial is gb a they will boas they have been by those who have n* them, pronounced to be tlie best Machine for washii now in use, and capable of performing more work ini less time and with less damage to tlie clothes than a; ! other Washing Machine now made. He claims for tiiis Machine, that it will cleanse n j clothes from dirt in 15 to 30 minutes and leave theme tirely clean, ready for boiling and rinsing. It will do an ordinary day’s washing in an hour si does not wear the clothes more than one-tenth as mud token washed by hand. It is adapted to washing from the finest Muslins totl coarsest clothes, Blankets and Carpets. It can be worked by women or even a 12 year olilt., and is so simple in its construction that almost any W can repair it—if it should ever need it—and will with dinary care last from 5 to 10 years. tig- One of the great merits of this Machine in ailditi to tlie facility in washing—is that the clothes are not m out hy washing. By tlie ordinary process of washii clothes are more injured than hy wearing. This adm tage together with tlie fact that it will ilo ten times!!/ work of hand labor, should induce every Hotel, Boar* House, and family to have one.
