to the nature of the case at the time it in tlrst adminis

As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual ami perma

the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they

the Individual has witnessed many eases that he eaii'fiilly
realise the truth; and even then he may conelmli- them
all very trilling rases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
I ms) n thus successful in perhaps hundreds of eases, must
expect that there will cases occur where tlicrr is some
organic or local cause so great as to rn|iiire particular
attention, or though successlni in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “ fluid” passes
off, as this 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.”
Iteinark* on fever* in General*
Dll this subject I wish to he fully understood. Ily the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame Is subject, including small |s>x
and uthor eruptive fevers; tail us they arise by a great
variety of causes, and ill 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 In tlio circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the cclcbrufed I’rof. T. Watson,
of King's College, hnudnii, whose work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice Os Physic” is a textbook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently sluudareieudJmrit tj.
On page 834, ho says ;—“Wo hear continually, Isdli in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ily Hie public, Typhus fever, Bruin fever,
bilious fever, Putrid fever, Imw fever. Nervous fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular;
Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Gustro-Entcric, and
so forth. Now, admitting Dial, lever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon flic
mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encourage* a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
■ rlbc lor a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that cun lie 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
mid I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself almut a “ name;’’ if you have
lover, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you
will Ik- mil instead of any distinctrhnmeter being devel
oped, be ns to he properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion I* no hypothesis bused on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, hut on experience lit the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(.by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to tame, and rest
assured you will soon he freed from ail dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before tlio “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will dcserjho
us briefly as possible the proper course to ho pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the” Itules”

accustomed to attendance u(mjii the sick.

faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a

spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the fueo and

will give immediate relief.

As these fevers are ail 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 these low fevers, when
tolly developed, a little patience will he required; still
coinparntltely little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hula few days
will ho necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should he commenced—which may
immediately follow any otheg without detriment—w ith
a leas|RH>nful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
once in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. ,
In Ihul cases, from three to fire grains eac h of tjuiniue
and capsicum (Oayeune pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. ‘1 he
bowels should lie kept gently open, and small portions
of sonic hepatic should be given occasionally, even
though the Ikiwclh should he very loose, ihe patient
should be sustained by nourishing and liiucllagcuous
drinks—such as urn in common use in such cases.

which have become reduced.

tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs bun little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wuil to learn the “ mime, ".whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with Joeer, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no
trouble; there will be hut tilth, eruption even in small
pox. This, to mostminds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will he regarded w ith ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, il treated as
J direct, mill he cat .dual ; att led with hut little erup
tion ; littli* or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running it* ordinary course. On Diis I will stake
not only my reputation, hut uil that X hold most dear;
besides, on I his subject, i Imvc good authority; tliat_of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874;
“Yon may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and

lie done. I nave not only proven it muy he, hut has

but it should he given and repeated nuflh icntly to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may he used, am’, the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tin* ship Duchess d’Orlcans, the tongue
and fallens were so much swollen timt the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it mils given in teaspooulul doses ere.rg hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tile throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in utiout twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
I’scd to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Civile!lieil Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlio mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
tcas]HK>nful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, us the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should lie re
pented as long as the favor continues, ns in other eases.
The bowels of course should lie attended to.
In connection with this subject, f cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
(lie lwlies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy dl'cct of flic Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
l’aiuful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com
mon ilose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken ut a delicate time, is easily relieved by
Its use; 111 short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the must soofany 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, hut it will sooth and
quiet tile system so that one cun sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use in so many eases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant riqs-tition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all euses. As the Negative Klectric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may he or ought to lie called, it should lie given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed in order so effect a
permanent euro.
When sill'll indications occur ill any case, they should
he appropriate means, and those sohitld he 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, L call all Oise auxiliary treatment.
If the buwols are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat the dose: if attended
with diarrhica, give something known to lie good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relievo Unit condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a Mister, fomentations of latter herbs,
Ol', perhaps, cloths wet ill cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in Die head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feel ill Imt water; if the fever is very high, skill
dry amt hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with w ater ut an agreeable tem|s>rature;
“the saline wash.” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking cllect. utter which there will lie no trou
ble; it the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, 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 he
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any go,si; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if
given pleutltully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
neocssary ; ill short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tin 1
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then yon will be astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.

about what is uscil. 1 have iouml uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, ntul to lie fully understood liy

New Principle! New Remedy! No Poison!
Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure;
On Antidote to Malaria;
FOll THE PREVENTION AND CURE
Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and
other Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of
Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp
lons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship
and .tail Fever, Oenerul Debility, Night
.sweats, and ail other forms of disease
WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MALAIIIA 014 MIASMA.
f|MIKBK diseases are common to many localities of the
JL l intel Stales; hut wherever they prevail, North,
.‘Smith, Fast or West, they all equally spring from the
same uiiasmal cause, ’file great variety ol symptoms and
forms of disease Is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; hut as the
cause is the same, they will all equally yield toaremedy
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 specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, .Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a |hji
soii floating in Hie atmosphere, causing disease toall w ho
breathe it. In accordance witli those unalterable laws
governing ihe unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to
the public,
Tire Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison w henever it conics in con
tact with it, even in the open air, and w lieu taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed tu he entirely new, uiid un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly check the 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 cure will lie effected; 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 w hen the disease is cured, it
will eutirely prevent the accession of
General Debility mid Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other rnede
cines. 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 ami class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, ami ail 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 the most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of the CUBE in every part of
the United States, its success has been so complete mid
unvarying as to have 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
the most candid minds, because all the resources of
science hail 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, i-iilicine, Ac.
The eft'eets of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded
to the pour 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 u proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy off Public Coiiffdcnce,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Hni-mlessuess,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States h;is been obtained, mid a
copy of it is attached to every bottle:
New York, June 11, 1856.
“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 a particle of either in it, nor have I found
any substance in its composition that w ould prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. 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 the taking of other medicines which do harm.
Tlie entire uliseuce of any lauicfn! 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 he taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
the sauio 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 ns a preventive, uiid so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to iliut and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It w ill often ho found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious 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, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of the sntiilote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them ill
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
anil also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it. after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or (voison contained in the apartment.
This inode 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 Auue Cure’’ blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and 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, w herever introduced and used. These
will lie considered sufficient.

Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant,
■he medicine that has created such an excitement at the
North among the Phvsiciuus, and hus been pronounced
[ by all who have used it as being far superior to any
I Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant eon
j tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesamine,

Dear Sir—Tile public generally are fully aware of the
l housunds of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillas. Pills, Plasters, Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or ut least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Hral Vst in l'ulmmiary Diseases. lum conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessioually, and deroga
twily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mediciue. I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

O. vl. Woodman —Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased witli its ef
| leets: better than any other article 1 ever met with. 1
would be pleased to have you send me half u dozen hot
| ties by the hearer. Uespoctfully.

Tills preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
tlie universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties us a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
w ilt probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it w ill
also lie found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
It.'member that this is the only Cough Medicine that
baa stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be bettor than auy Cherrv Pectoral, Cod Liver

GREAT TRIUMPHS
AND
UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF
RHODES’ FEVER AND AGUE CURE,
(lit
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
NO POISON. PROOFS !
See what the President ot the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Muiariu :
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1805.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. It. Chilton,
of New York city, in laver of Rhodes’ Fever anil Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. .Rhodes
for the medicine. Since then I have disposed id a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 eau refer. I am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.

Providence, June 29, 1855.
Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but
wortliy woman, who lias not tieen fro e from Fever.and
Ague a month at a time for the last twelve years, I sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever mid Ague
Cure. .She took in all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, and as four months
have now elapsed, there is no reason todoubt the perma
nency of the cure.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent
an order to Ames A Hallidny for another half gross of
your Feverand Ague Cure. 11 has sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is lieeause when I have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and told them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, aud they were all satisfied. I had one ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, hut the man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Mr. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—The box of “Ague

demand for more; to meet which we have ordered
from your general agent at Chicago, J. I). Yerrington.

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.
Maxwell, Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. lit, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your medicine lias met
with the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I
hare about five bottles left. I give it to them at first,

But not a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out
of the article I wish you would forward me one gross of
the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will he
punctual in payment. I inclose fifteen dollars ou the
medicine I have received, for which please send me a

Du. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders. It has not
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress
ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one
bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four
dozen, ns we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATHROP A MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1555.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and in spite of the different remedies
and treatment 1 adopted, my health grew worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Since that time 1 have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing your in ‘divine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

In another column of to-day's paper will be found an
advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure. - ’
We arc not in the habit of pulling medicines, but desire
to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N.
Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in
forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in
every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi
cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it
before the notice of the public. —Oitd Vellmo, Hoonsboro,

Evidence from Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit —a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and has not hud a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Y'ours truly,
ltev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —1 have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine. having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours.
W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by 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 cveryliody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A.HAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CUKE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible info every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The emitient chem
ist, Dr. J. It. Chilton, of New Vork, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not, just ns 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 be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will he noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish su h 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 ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The Clowning 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 Malaria, to which the
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.
