II In to guard against disnppolntinent in nneh cases Unit I have given and frequently refer to w hat I have called a “ synopsis.” llcinnrkson Fevers in Generati on thin subject I wish to lie fully understood. By the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile all'ecUons In which the huinuu frame is subject, including small pnx and other eruptive fevers; hut n* they arise by a great variety ot causes, and in quite dissimilar const it u(inns and habits, they of course dilter considerably iu their development and exhibit s variety of forms or tyfies; yet all are distinguished by the same general i huriu ler i sties—that of undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency iu the pulHO, sense of bent, dryness of the skin, debility, Sic. To show that I am not wholly alone iu the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celehralcd I’rol'. T. Watson, ■it King's College, London, whose work on the •• Princi pins and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of .oir medical colleges, mid consequently standanlaiUJwrity. Du page 834, lie says:—“We hear continually, Isith in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Ity the public, TyphuH fever, ltrniu Fever, Milieus fever. Putrid fever, I.ow Fever, Nervous fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-Enteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that lever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all Ibis sulssUvision, is bad and hurtful. It encourages ilis|sisitlon. already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its anna. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, Ihat run be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, oven the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Tin- above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will Ini well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, ons to he properly named by the most scientific. This assertion Is no hypothesis baßed on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands bf cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons oml climates. Hear tills in niinil, and treat at ouco without regal'd to nun ic, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous levers, lint 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 he pursued ill all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Utiles” and “ Synopsis'’ will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

As these fevors are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, Wing ail 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. Ju these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the Common treatment, while with this hula few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. Tile treatment should he commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger In volume, then to be continued once iu six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.

Variola, Varioloid, llubeola and Scurla tinn; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Mcnsles, anti Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended witli fever, which In fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common levers, llomemlier never wail to learn the “ nuine,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, us they all commence with freer, but treat it at mice; govern the fever and there will he no trouble; there will be bulimic eruption even iu small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless Will be regarded witli ridicule by ninny. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated us 1 direct, will be. cut short; attended witli Imt little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no nrnstdy of its running its ordinary course. On this / will stake not only my reputation, Imt ail that I hold most dear; besides, on tills subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Matson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874 : •• You may abate the force of Hie eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it laay be, hut has been done in numerous eases tiiat occurred ou hoard ship. See the account appended. Uive a tcaspoonlul or more, according to the urgency of tlie case, witli a dose of salts or castor oil: repeat the Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the fever salt sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; Imt it should Is’ giveu and ru|ieuted sufficiently to keep tlie fever uniter control. When the tiirout is affected, any of tlie ordinary gargles may he used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In i'iio case, on the ship Duchessd'Orleans, tlie tongue and f'aucus were so much swollen that tlie patient could not swallow or speak, ami lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his longue, drop by drop, till he could sw allow , w hen it was giveu in tcaspoonlul doses ercry hour, till nil alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in nlxiut twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best rjuryle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to w hich the mol In r is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single doso or two of a tcaspoonlul, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as tlie Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should lie re peated as long as the fever continues, as iu other cases. Tlie bowels of course should he attended to. in connection with tills subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by file ladies, will save them muck 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 mid soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must la- tried to he appreciated.— rainful menstruation w ill be relieved at ouco by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or u cold taken at adellcatc time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one of tlie most convenient and effectual remedies I'or many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and irUability of Ihe nervous as well as tlie circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth mid quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally mid healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as poeailile, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called fever, or subdue and control il under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may he or ought to lie called, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must lie removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these solmld fie 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, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie first doso, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose: if attended w itli diurrluea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or intlauimation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs! or, lairhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tlie part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tlm saline wash,” vinegar ami water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the meili oUio in taking effect, alter which there will he no (rou 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 tlie patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea mid vomiting, that must lie allayed before any medicine will remain on thu stomach tti doasy good : for this pur|iosu 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if .given plciitilully, will answer every purpose: when the stomach lias settled, give tlie “ Fluid” and a eathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other elreumstauces, giving tlie ** Fluid” at tlie same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realise it till vou hifvc se. li, and thou you will be astonished at the ease w itli which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. thirties may feel at a loss to know wliat is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using tlie Fluid, and to he fully understood bv ail, l w ill name u tew (r the different art ides of medi cine l have referred to, viz:— Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on Hie I towels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tile roots or harks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to tic good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by tlie different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection witli tlie “ Fluid” or while tho system is under its iu ffuenee. Ami one may choose calomel—another blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on: each may take ids choice iiud lie sue cetuful. Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength inch as quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs Hone sec or thorough wort is one of tlie best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such as check the action of the bow els. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used: also, many mixtures, not property ustrintents whleti have tlie effect. Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best • ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tlie only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bettor “dia phoretic,” “ anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” and “ sedative ‘ than known in the materia mctlica. 1 shall not tax tlie reader witli a long list of proofs dopemliug mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that oti the Pnckctsliip Ductless D'Orlenn*. which cannot tie classed among ordinary certificates: Me, tlie undersigned, certify to tlie’ following, viz— M e took passage on tlie pnckctsliip Duchess and Orlcuus. t apt Hutton, then lying in tlie port of Havre France and bound for New York.

Tlie great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; but as the cause is tin- same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a sjiecitic remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tlie seme in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe It. In accordance witli those unalterable laws governing tie unerring affinity subsisting between op |ites, there is in tlie preparation before ns, offered to tlie public, Tilt’ Natural Antidote to illnluiTa, which neutralizes tlie isjison whenever it comes in con tact witli it. even iu tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies tlie system affected by it of its baneful tntfuence, and thus restores and preserves Ileal til. The remedy is believed to Is 1 entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie followingextraordinary results from its use: It will instantly check tlie ague in persons who have suffered tin - any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use. according to the direc tions. a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use aguiu necessary. In its operation upon tlie poison in the system, it will immediately relieve nil the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, anil when the disease is cured, it w ill entirely prevent tlie accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other inede cines. Tlie patient at once begin* to rcover appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may lie banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations In perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them I lie most valuable part of the year. Since tlie introduction of the CUKE iu every part of tho United States, its success Ims been so complete and unvarying as to liavc fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlie most candid minds, because all the resources 1. 1 science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat was still worse for ague sufferers, ail their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only tenqiorary relief, their poisonous effects are superudded 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 be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that tlie Remedy is not only valuable on account of ftg power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, Tlie follow ing certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists tn the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle : Nkw York, June 11, 1855. “1 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 n particle of either in it. nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JAMES It. 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 an equally good work by preventing tlie 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 as a prevail 11vc. No class of disease is so easily managed as tlie one under consideration, if tlie medicine lie taken in advance. This is ow ing to tlie diseases being produced by one and tlie sanio cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tlie poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice us to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi ciuobya mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor OH, the ottfect of which is to cleanse tlie stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveuess, it mist he taken or the operation of flic antidote will lie seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —In certain specified cases, pour (lie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; lor tlie vapor rising from the medicine, and also tlie air waited across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degree commensurate w itli its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu tlie apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise lie resorted to when very young infants arc exposed to malarious situations. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “KltoniS’ F'evei: and Acer Ci rk” blown iu the glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, w herever introduced and used. These will lie considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by tlie proprietor. JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, 1(. I, For wile in Columbus liv KIVLIN, THOMAS k CO., February 10, 1858. ly Druggists.

Chilton, of Newl York city, in lover of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, .'ler curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. lor tlie medicine, jjiuce then I have disposed of a large quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 cau refer. L am, therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that tlie proprietor represents. EDWARD S. M HEATON, l’resd't of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri. Hail tlie Ague for Twelve Years !

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent an order to Ames & Ilalliday for another half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure. It lias sold like •• Hot Cakes,’’ and I have only two bottles on hand.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it lias been to me. 1 was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of tlie dift'ereut remedies and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until I commenced the use of your F’ever and Ague Cure. — Since that time X have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health.

Pi.ymoith, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to tlic value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AG U E BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours trulv, Rev. A-C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from n Physician. Moxtickuo, I ltd., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A.

Respectfully yours, IV. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. it., (la., Jan. 1, 1850. Your Ague Cure has overcome iill prejudices liy its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all 1 can in its sale. “ W. A.IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as ra'pidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New Y'ork, certifies to its per fect innocence, it is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them ail, and it will he noticed that the letters of which I publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fillany newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague. Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Muluria. to which tlie Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
