removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal

Other reasons might he added, hut those arc tleemed

I ions of life.
The above reasons arc more particularly ap|dica|de to
ilie immediate treatment on tin- tirst attack, hut will
tpply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding ol course
•o the nature of the case at tin-time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, elfectual and pci out
in-iit relief, In all ordinary cases, wlieli used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tln-y
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had noeffoct.” The general
impression on flic subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above Pillow tin-cure of a common case
as naturally as men think nt all; and it is not until
the individual lias witnessed ninny easestlml lie can fully
realize the truth; and even then In-may conclude them
til very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
la-en thus successful In perhaps hundreds of rases, must
expect that then- will cases occur wln-rc I here is sonic
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though suceesslnl in reducing the lever,
it will again rise as the influence of (lie •• fluid” passes
off, ns the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in such cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
lie murks on Fevers in General-
On this subject 1 wish to he fully understood. By the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame Is subject, including small pox
md 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 mol exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all ate distinguished by the same general charm trr
istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory ami
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in tin- pulse, sense of 10-at, dryness of the skill,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated ITof. T. Watson.
■it King's College, London, whose work on the “ Prim i
pies aud Practice Os I’liysic” is a textbook in many of
-air medical colleges, and consequently itandardauthariti/.
Du page x; 14, lie says ; —“We hear continually. |>ot li in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus fever. Brain fever,
Itilious fever, fuli'id fever, Low fever, Nervous fever,
.vo. And systematic writers are to tile full as particular:
Mucous fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (iastro-Elitcric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms. I am persuaded that the effect upon tile
uiind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encourages 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,
that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, oven the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fuel, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yomsolf about a “ tuwie;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
mill be well instead of any distiiic.tcluiriu.-ter being devel
oped, go as to he 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
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(.by myself and Others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, soaoons and climates. Bear this in mind,
mid treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have lie
come developed before the “Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
us briefly oh possible the proper course to lie pursued in
all of the most prominent levers, though the “ Kuh-s”
mol “Synopsis” will lie amply sufllclent for all those
accustomed to attendance u;kui the sick.

2d. Patients must lie free from all currents at air,

4th. When the fever begins to subside, puticuts must
lie left perfectly quiet; free from nil excitement; should
not bo questioned us to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their mon natural feelings, independent of nil extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak ; nor
should any conversation lie allowed in their hearing, in
which they muy feel more or less interested, tint he left
quiet to all intents aud purposes.
6tll. fluids should he allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parlies may prefer or pntiunts desire.
6til. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so its to occasion a
restlessness alter the lever has passed off, or enough to
occasion thorn to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with u little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast may lie bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

As these fevers are all of one character. dilleriug
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 us
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patienco will bo required: still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while w ith this but a few days
will bo accessary at longest to establish a permanent
coin vlesccnce.
The treatmeut should be commenced—which may
immodiately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaapoonfu! of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
ouae in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.

will Is: regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless

the fever under control. When tile throat is affected,
any of tile ordinary gargles may Ik used, and the
surface ballied, ss thought advisable.
In one ra-e, on lie- slop Duchess d’Orloans, the tongue
and litucus were no much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid mi his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
w hen it was given in teaspoouful doses ‘n eg /tour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tie- throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid nlonc.-s
Used to wet tlie throat frequently, it js doubtless the
best gargle in ail such eases.

This horclulhrn painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to (lie
Negative Electric Fluid with sueli readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. II should Is- re
peated s long as the fever continues, ns in other eases.
The bowels ot course should he attended to.
11l connection with this subject, i cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save llieui lunch pain ami suffering, it
Is to inform them of the happy effect of tiie Fluid in
many of their trials. Jn child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.—
I'ainful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Hestlessness, nervous irritability,
ora wild taken uta delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
efleetuai remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tin- most soofauy medicine know n. 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 il will sooth and
quiet tlio system so that one can sleep naturally ami
healthy; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis-
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all rireunistnnces, without regard to the
name it may he or ought to lie called, it should ia- given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
whan such exist, must la* removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any ease, they should
be appropriate means, ami these solmld be given while
giving the “ Fluid,” ami in connection witii it, when
occasion requires, as they will thou more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the-, Fluid” alone will sub
due tlie lever, I call nil else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, given ca'tliartic (see auxili
aries) witii the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrim-a, give something known to be good for
that compla'nt, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition ; if severe local
pain or iulhimniation. apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; it
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in lint water; if tlie fever is dry high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe, the
whole surface with witter at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, alter which there will be no trou
ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in lew
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during loinulesceiiee, when tlie patient Ims become re
duced; il there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain’ mi the stomach
to do any good : for this puriiosc 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the - Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat till the prominent, symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at tlie same time as directed, and success'will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till veu
Imve seen, aud then you will lie astonished at tile ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
An\ ill n lies.
Parties may feel at a loss to know wind is meant hi
eatlmrtics. Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used, i have found no such necessity
when using tlie Fluid, and to lie fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz :
Cat lln l't ies.- Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many pills, anti bilious. Ac.: anvllting
known to be giHnl forsuch purposes.
llcpatto*.— Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools’
fur this lull pose, will answer w hen used in connection
witii the •• Fluid” or while tin* system is under its in
fitietice. And one may choose calomel—another, bine
mass-tin- third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on: each may take his choice and lie suc
cessful.
Tonies. Articles tlmt give tom- or strength, sirli
as quinine, various barks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone
set or thomughwort is one of tlie best used in fevers.
Asti-liigrnt),—Sueli as cheek the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
Stimtill.ikts.— Articles tlmt raise or excite the
system. Capsicum tCiiy enne pepper) is one of the host:
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
ustsl, lull the Negative Electric Fluid is n better •• dia

“sedative” than known ill tlio materia medic,i.

f|MlKßhl are common to many localities of the
X United Static: hut wherever they prevail, North,
South, Fast or We#t, they all equally spring from the
same niiawinal cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age.
sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; but us the
cause is tin* same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome of remove that cause.
iiy 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 specific remedy. AIL Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of* animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is (he same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating lit the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing tin* unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there h in tlie preparation before us. offered to
the public.
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it conus in con
tact with it . even in the open air. and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful mllueii'f. and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly cheek the ague in persons who have
suite ml tor any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use. according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will be elfected: the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mede
tines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may be 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 tlie most valuable part of tlie
ynu*. ....
Since flic introduction ot the Cl ILK in every part ol
the United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When those declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all tlie resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases ; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all 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 arc sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, ami when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded
to the poor sufferer’s tirst complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may he taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Kemedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases,’ but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence.
Because of its
Singular and Entire Harmless ness,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the Vuited States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
New Yokk. .June IL, 1855.
**l have made a Chemical examination of Rhodes’Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested
it lor Arsenic. Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it. lior have I found
any substanceAn its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“.FAMES B. CHILTON, M. 1).. Chemist.”
It i> 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 l*y
preventing the taking of other medicines which dohavm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine be takcu in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an I
the sumo 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 Cun* ns a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by n distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil. the object of w hich is to cleuu.se the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it mist ie taken
or Hie operation of the antidote will be scrieu ly ob
structed.
Only Caul ton. —In certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in
sleeping rooms; for tlio vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tlie
dregs of it, alter the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aui Cur-e” blown in the
glass, ami on the outside wrapper is tlie name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of the proprietor. Those precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely lton its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

Dear Fir—The public generally are fully aware us the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under tlie titles
of Far.-aparillus. Pills. Plasters, Liniments. Ac., tliat are
daily brought to their notice through tlio newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Ileal Use in I‘uhiwnary J)iseuscs. lam conscious that in
so doing. 1 am acting most unprofessiimuUy.and deroga
toriiy to the interests of Medical Fcience and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that l have
used witii more success than nny of the usual prescrip
tions used bv Physicians.

G. G. \\ oouMAN —Dear Fir: t have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial aud am well pleased with its ‘■!-
loots: better than any other article 1 ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles l.y the bearer. Itespectftillv,

tlie univers.il success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, iroui its peculiar properties ns a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations ofthe throat,

an order to Amos A lialliday for another hall’ gross of
your Feveraud Ague Cure. U lias sold like- Hot Cukes,”

pay for it, aud they were all satisfied. I had one case
of Chili Fever where it run four days, but the mau came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.

Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured
iiy your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of

Evidence from n C lergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
I Mr. -I. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in tlie family of a clergyman here has been taking an
-■AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per
manent benefit —a few clays since she got a bottle of
the Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until begot a bottle of your Cure. Fu far it works like
! a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
| merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
j who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
! sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
- call in its sale. AV. A.IIAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
j in the United States, Canadas, Ac-. The eminent chem
| ist. Dr. J. It. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
! feet innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
| the Fever aud Ague or not, just as they please.
1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo
■ mens are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
I take the Cure on counuissiou. They thought its great
| claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
I endorse them all, audit will be noticed that the letters
-of which 1 publish su li immense quantities are always
new and late dates —altogether they- would more than
; till any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than over attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie CioxvningGlory
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 F’ever and Ague.
Bilious or Y’ellow Fever, of any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quirk and permaneut effects
j a- a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, niglit sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
