It is to guard against disappointment iu sueli canes that I have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.” He murk* on I Vvci * in Clem*rnl* Du this subject I wish to he fully uudeintood. II \ the term “ fever*,” 1 comprehend all fehi'Uo ulVerlioiiK to which the human frame Is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut a* 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* istic*—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems— inducing more or less unnatural fre quency iu the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that. I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance. 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, i-l King's College, London, whoso work on the •• Print i pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently staudanl authority. On page £l4, he says : —We hear continually, both in and out of tin* profession, different species of fever spo ken of. ll.v the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ate. And systematie writers art* to the full as particular: Mucous Fever. Ataxic. Adynamic, Oastro-Knteric, and -hi forth. Now, admitting that lever shows itself under \arioiiN forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tin* mind of all thin sub division, is laid and hurtful. It • lU'ourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre- ril>e for a disease according to its mum. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that call he relied on. They run insensibly info each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great lad, one worthy of remembrance and I would imjnr. s.s on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling youi self about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, amt you mill be, wrll iusteml of any distinetcliaraeter being devel oped, ho as to he properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet singula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed side of the sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by ruyself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous levers. Hut as cases 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 Ik* pursued iu idl of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” w ill be amply sullleient tor all those jiccustomed to attendance upon the sick. important In In’ observed in nil cases in using tin Negative KUctric Fluid.

Should patients experience any oppression or taint ness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after tlie lever has passed oil, or enough to occasion them to speak >f it, they should have u little w ine, 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.

There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ton years of age frequently having taken full doses: but for a little guide, I have given the above table, with the remark that, as si general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. Hy observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them— at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In thesa low fevers, when lolly developed, a little patience will ho required: still ■ omparatively little, as they frequently run w eeks under the compion treatment, while with this Imt a few days will 1)0 necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence.

As all of these diseases al e attended With level , which in fact is tin* most prominent symptom, the treatment dill, ,h hue lit tie from that of common fever.. Remember never wait to learn the “ ituntr, whether ii is olio or the other, or mHln r , n** they all commence with Jenr, but treiit it at once; govern the lever and there w ill he no trouble; there will b v but liWc ti upturn even iu small pox. This, to moat minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will Im regarded with ridicule by many, i nevertheless boldly make tlic OHsertioii, that sinall |s*x, if treated as I direct, will he cul short; attended hut little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no m<-<sstly *l its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, but ad that I hold most dear; beside*, on* this subject, 1 have good authority; Prof. Matson, previously quoted. Jfe says, page b<4: •• Von may abate the force of the eruptive lover, and keep <low ii. it is believed, the nnoth* rnj the pustules hy spline purges, Are/’ Here is the admission Unit it may he done. I nave lint only proven it mug be , but has been done in numerous eases that occurred on board ship. Fee the account appended. tlive a teji'poonful or more, according to the urgency ot the case, w ith a dose of baits or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversuh sides—though one or two doses is genera ly suftteiefit; hut it should he given aud repeated sulHcieutly to keep the lever under control. Win n the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface lathed, as thought advisable. fu one ora*, on the ship Duchess d'Orleans, the tougilr and fjiutiih were so much swollen that the patient could nut swallow or speak, and he was cured hy dropping the Fluid on Ins longue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoouful doses every hour , till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat won reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throsit frequently, it is doubtless the best garyk in all such cases. Fuerptral or Cliihlbul Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, w ill yield to the Negative Flee trie Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a tcas|N>oiiful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, jis the Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. 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 by the Indies, will save them much pain and suffering. It. is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials, fn child-birth, its relaxing and soothing cllect deprives the labor of much of its pains aud diliictiltics; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Fuinfill menstruation w ill be relieved ut once by ji 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 niosf entiveuieutand effectuai remedies lbrmany of the ills of females, if not the fliost so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, rela.’ ing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. T<* avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat-’ nient as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for 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 name it may be or ought to he called, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, w hen such exist, must be removed iu order to effect a permanent eure. \\ hen such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, aud those sohald be given w hile 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 be lost. As tin* *, Fluid” alone w ill sub due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) w ith the lirst dose, or soon alter, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose: if attended* with dianlm ji, give something know n to In* good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or iiillaiiinmtioH, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part: if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, tco water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the. feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and Imt, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the w hole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash.” vinegar and avater or spirits and water, either w ill afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou ble; it the patient lias 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 become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must bo allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any goad ; for this purpose l 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 all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giviii” the “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your etfoi ts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease with which you cun control Jill febrile excitement. An\ilia l ies. Parties limy feel at a loss to know what is mount by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no siicli necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all. I will name a lew of tlie different articles of medi cine I have referred to. viz : < ul liurl Ick. Articles that purge or operate 011 the latwoU. sacli as eastor oil, salts, senna, auv of tin* root or barks, and many pills, uutibilious, Ac.: anything known to l*e go*Kl for such purposes. Ilcpat ics.—-Anything known to act outlie liver particularly, portal circulation ami secretions generally. Any of the articles depended un by tlie different schools’ [ **r this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the - Fluid” or while tlie system is under its in tluencc.

The great variety ol symptoms and forms of disease is ow ing principally to dillercncc in age, •sex, constitution and habits of the.sulferers; but as the cause is the same, they will iiii equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Hy the laws of NaUirc, every principle lias its opposite, and for evTy disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. AH Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition ol animal aud vegetable matter, or even newly cleared hm Is,tin sumo in character anti effect; la a pot non floating in the atmosphere, causing disease tuall who breathe it- In aceorduuco with those unalterable laws goveruiir . the unerring affinity subsisting.between op posite:. tliei r i-in the preparation before us, offered to the public, Tilt* Natural Antidote t< Malaria, whicli neutralizes tin? poison whenever it conics in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter naHy loniphTcly purities the system affected hy it ol its baneful intiuenoe, and thus restores and preserves health. The rnuedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any Imt the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : ft will instantly cheek tin* ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions. a radical eure will be effected: the patient contin uing lice from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should niak* its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison in the system, it will | immediately relievo all the distressing symptonw of bil- I ions or ague diseases, aud when the disease is cured, it ! will entirely prevent the accession of (joiin al Debility and Night Sw eats, which so often follow the administration of other niede l ines. The patient at once begins to reiver appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to ; perfect health. By it* use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics. and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Prevciitive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety I from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, | which i- often to them the most valuable part of the year. .Since tire introduction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success has been wo complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in j favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources ts science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wlmt was still worse for tigtie sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, &c. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .nx* superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may betaken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy oi'Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Enftrc Ilarmlessncss, TTic following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists jn the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attachdl to every bottle : New York, June 11, 1855. *•[ have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. ••JAMES K. CHILTON, M. D„ Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do au equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines w hich do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is us a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is ow ing to the diseases being produced by’ one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and udviue as to diet and habits of life prepared hy a distinguished rhysieian long resident iu a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often he found necessary to precede this niedi cincbva mild cathartic or uutibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary 7 , or there is costiveness, it must he taken or the operation of the antidote will Ik? seriously ob struct eij. Only Caution. —lit certain specified eases, pour tin* contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) aud place them in sleeping rooms; for tlie vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a dogiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resulted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the words, ■■Rhodes’ Fever and Auuk Cure” blown in tin* glass, and on the out-ilk* wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) mid the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual MERITS, wherever introduced and used.

One young laify in (he family of a clergyman here has been taking an “AG IE KAhSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and lias not had a chill since.

The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. It. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers arc those who a year ago. were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now ilicy ondorsc them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended auy other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARM LESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Tims protected by using a bottle or two during tlie warm and sickly sea sons. not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever ami Ague. Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disca-e arising from the atmospheric poison ‘.Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote.
