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.

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.

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.

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. Prepared and sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. 1, For sale in Columbus by KIV LIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1856. ly Druggists.

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.

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.
