It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that I have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” lUiiuirks on Fevers ku General* On thin subject I wish to be fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that of undue excitement ill the circulatory and nervous systems—•lnducing inure or less unnatural fre quency in tie* pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tin- -kin. debility. Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the •* Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical col logos, and consequently standard authority. On page 834, ho says : —“We hear continually, both in mid out. <f the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. fly the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-iCnteric, and **o forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various ton in, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub division, is bad and hurtfuL It ♦•neourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, ♦hat can la* relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance nikl I would imprejut ou your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat It at once ns hereafter directed, and you null be itreU instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed ride of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases t by myself and others) under n great variety of cir . umstancos, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest soured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous levers. But as cases may have be come developed before the ‘* Fluid” is given, either by neglect, ov 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 the “ Buies'* and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Rules im§wiant to be observed in all eases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there hlumil.l always ho free ventilation in tin sickroom,) uor attempt to about while under its in tlueui e. 3d. It must he continued whenever the fever subsides, or i* evidently passing oft; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such bo the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet ; tree from all excitement; should not be questioned us to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, rend or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak: nor should any conversation he allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. Oth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long ns the patient desires ami no 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. flth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed oft, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast maybe bathed in cold water: either of which will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life: nor females, as a general rule, ns much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to ihlblren—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses: but tor a little guide, I have given the alnive table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. Bv observing the above directions, the medicine >\ ill he found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished.

A* these levers are all of one character, differing uimuly in degree. Ijeing all of a low grade, the pulse mall and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as niy treatment i concerned. In these low fevers, w hen fully develojied, a little patience will lie required: still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will bo necessary at longest to establish a permanent oonvalaacence. The treatment should lie commenced—which mav immediately follow any other without detriment— with a teaspoonful of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then lo bo continued cnee in eii or eight hours till the fever euliielt subsides In bad cases, froiw*three to five grains each of gninin. and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) oi*Bii<* tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each do-*-.

On this I will stake not only my reputation, but ail that I bold most dear: besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: *• Von may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the* number of the pustule* by splim* purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done.- I nave not only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. dee the account appended. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a done of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub side.s—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the ftrver under control. W hen the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may l>< used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. in one case, on the ship Duchessd’Orlcans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, ami he was cured by dropping Un- Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspooiiful doses every hour , till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by tin* Fluid alone.- - I sed to wet the throat frequently, it is doubt I>* the Inst gargle in all such cases.

A single dose or two of a teaspooiiful. almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no aJarni need be entertained, as tin* Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. The ImjW'clh of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, w ill save them much pain and sutfering. ft is to inform them of the happy elfect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tin* labor of 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, or a cold taken ut a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient ami effectual remedies lor many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritahility of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy: hence its use in so many case*-. Synopsis. To avoid ((instant repetition, ami condense the trcat mcut ns miioli as possible, I give umler this head general directions tor all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the 7WIIII- it may he or ought to he called, it should lie given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he osc pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuid be given while giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection witli it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act. producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I eall all else auxiliary treatment. 1 f 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 dose: if attended with diarrluea, give something known to lie good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, 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 feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature: ‘•tile saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits ami water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will lie no trou ble: if tlie patient bos been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, ill absence of fever or when indicated: also, during convalescence, when the patient lias become re duced : if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach todoasygo.nl: for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose: when the stomach levs settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; lit short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other eireumstanees. g'iviic the “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, ami success''w ill crown your efforts; indeed, yon cannot realize il till V nu have soon, and then you will be astonished at the ,'. a -e w itli which you can control all febrile exeiteincnl.

JL Machine to the notice of the public, does so with confidence that in all cases where a fair trial is git, they will ho as they have been by those who have ? . them, pronounced to be the best Machine for \v.i.i : now iir use, and capable of performing more work in less time and with less damage to the clothes thur, other Washing Machine now made. He claims for this Machine, that it will cleans | clothes from dirt in 15 to d0 minutes and leave them i tirely clean, ready for boiling and rinsing. it will do an ordinary day’s washing in an liuur, ! does not wear the clothes more than one-tenth ustnm | when loathed by hand. It is adapted to washing from the finest Muslimt ! coarsest clothes, Blankets and Carpets. It can be worked by women or even a 12 yettr oldV | and is so sinrplo in its construction that almost any U l can repair it—if it should ever need it—and will witt j dinary care last from 5 to 10 years. K>j - One of tiro great merits of this Machine in add* I to the facility in washing—is that the clothes are tide ! out by washing, lly the ordinary process of wad ] clothes are more injured than by wearing. This ad } tage together with the fact that it will do ten time; I work of hand labor, should induce every Hotel, Item: House, and family to have oite.
