Ollier reaaooe might he added, hut the*c are deemed

The above reason* ore more partieularly applicable to

apply with equal force to caaea which have I men xuhjcet

As this remedy gives so pt, ellectiial and pernia
uent relief, in all ordinary cases, when usisi soon after
tile attack, persons call scarcely realize that they Imd
been really milch sick, and very naturally conclude they
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “It was trifling
a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
uoUiiiig of esiiseqnenco—ft would have passed oil witli
,,„t anything—that medicine had noeffcct.” The general
impression on the subject of lever is such, that, thoughts
u ,,t unlike tlia ‘above follow the cure of a common case
ns naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many eases that lie call tally
~-aline the truth: and even then lie may conclude them
all very tiifllng eases, which would have readily yielded
to am simple medicine, yet persona, though they have
Is-eii tints successful in perhaps hundreds of case.-, must
. vpeet that there will eases occur where there i* some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention. 01 though sureessliil in reducing the fever,
il will again rise as the influence of tile *• Fluid” passes
off, as 11 xelting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in such eases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have railed a “ synopsis.
Itciimi-ks on Fevers in General*
On tills subject I wish to be fully understood. My the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the liuinuii frame Is subject, including small pex
and other eruptive fevers; tail as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
anil linbits, they of course differ considerably ill their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by Hie same general rlmnicter
istics —that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
> I Henry in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness ol’ the *kiu,
debility, Ac.
‘l'o show that I mil not wholly alone in Die opinion I
advance, 1 quote from Die ceielirafcd Prof. T. Matson,
,and King's College, Loudon, whoso work on Die -- Princi
ple* mid Practice of Physic” is a text Issik in many of
•air medical colleges, and consequently sluiuhinlwUlwi ih/.
‘ln page K;t4, he says:—“We hear continually, belli in
and out of the profession, different species of fever *|si
keii of. By tlie public, Typhus Fever, Bruin Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever. Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
vr. .And systematic writers are to the lull us particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustrn-Eiitorir, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms. I am (icrsuadcd that the effort upon Die
mind of all this auhslivision, is laid and hurtful, it
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe lor a disouse according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
Unit can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of Diem, and are often
iruceutije to the same cause.”
Tlie above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
ami I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
liver, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you
<"iH ln\ iiwll instead of any distilictchamctor being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by tlie most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet s|>oculu
l ions or visions of mind, but on experience at Die bod
-ide ol’ the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and other*) under a gn at variety of cir
cumstances, soaaons and climates. Beur this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers, lint as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will desorilm
as briefly as isisslble the proper course to be pursued in
all of tlie most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ .Synopsis” will lie amply Hufliriont for all those
accustomed to attendance vi|mn the sick.
Itules inijeirtant to hf observed in all mint in using tlie
Negative Klectric. Fluid.
Ist. It, should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must he free from all currents of air,
(though there should always ho free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in

Ski. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides,
or Is evidently passing off; to he resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such Is- the case under any
circumstances.
Itli. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
he left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not he questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till ; ncir own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
liould any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
Which they may feel more or less interested, lint lie left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
itli. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as Die patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
- old or warm, as parties may prefer or patieuts desire.
tltli. Should patients experience any oppression or
i.dntnoss while ill the lying posture, so us to occasion a
restlessness after the lever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, teddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little
pirlt, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast may la- bathed in cold water; either of which
w ill give immediate relief.

Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or

Xervoiu Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of oue character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, tho 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
fully developed, a little patience will lie required; ti|!
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hut u few duys
will he ueceseury at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should he commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—witli

In bod cases, from three to five grains each nt nutninr
and cnjitiriiin (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should la: added to each dose, the
bowel* should lie kept gently open, anil small ]*ortioiis
of some liegidic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. The patient
should he sustained by nourishing and nuieilngeiioiis
drinks—such as are in common use in such eases.—
Where lie- skin is very dry, swinging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will lie found advantageous.
Tonies should he used during rnmalesronre. in all eases
which have lieeoltie reduced.

witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bnneeet; or
hall the quantity may l> given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours,

Varloln, VurtololU, llubeoln and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Vnrlololil, Mcaalcu,
anil Scarlet F’tvcr.
As all of these diseases are attended with lever, which
in fact is Diu most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Keiucnilicr
never wsll to learn tlio “ mime,” w hether it is olio or tlie
other, or wither, as tliey all commence with fever, hut
treat it at once; govern tlie fever and there will be no
trouble; there will ho. but little eni/diou even in small
ihix. This, to most minds, is anew bleu, and doubtless
will he regarded with ridicule hy many. I nevertheless
Is,ldly make Die assertion, that small pox, il treated as
I direct will I” cut short ; attended with hat little erup
tion; little or no pitting, mid that there is necessity nl
its running its ordinary course. Dn this I will stake
not only my reputation, hut all that I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page *74 :
“You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the an lain r nj the pastilles by ;
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
he done. I nave not only proven it 1111111 In', but has
In-ni done in nnineroUK eases that occurred on board
ship. See Die account appended.
Dive 11 teitspoonful or more, according to the urgency
01 the ease, with a dose ol salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once in two hoars if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
hut it should lie given mid repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. Wlien the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and tlie
sin lai r bathed, as thought advisable.
In one ease, on the ship Duchessil’Orleaus, tin- tongue
and founts were so much swollen that 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 ft was given in teas|ssinful doses entry hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat wits reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.—
I'sed to wet tlie throat, frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best gargle in all such cases.
I*ucrpcin 1 or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to Die
Negative tlleetric Fluid witli such readiness, a* to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teos|ioanful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, tvs Die
Fluid will arrest it in u short time. It should lie re
peuteil as lung as Lbc lover continues, as in other eases.
The bowels ol course should lie attended to.
In connection witli this subject, 1 cannot retrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
Die ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of tlie happy elleet of the Fluid ill
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to lie appreciated.—
l’uiul'ul menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring, ltcstiessness, nervous irritability,
01a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
itsuse; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effect tali remedies for many of the ills of females, if nut
the most soofuny medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing Die, whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of tlie nervous us well as the circulatory .
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tlie system so that, one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense llic treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions tor all coses. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it, may lie or ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must tie rammed in order to’ effect 11
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
Is’ appropriate means, anil these solmld be given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection witli it, when
occasion requires, as tliey will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then he lost. As the •, Fluid” alone w ill sub
due tlie fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first done, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
with diurrhicu, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, Die
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if so vero local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, n blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, io Die part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface witli water nt nil agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
wafer, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou
ble; if the patient Inis 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 ami vomiting, that must lie
allayed before any medicine will remain oil the stomach
to do nay goad; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle eiuetie to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose: when tlie
stomach has settled, give tlie Fluid” ami a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, yon cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will he astonished at tlie ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may fed at a loss to know what is meant h.v
cathartics. Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about wlmt is used. 1 have found uo siicli necessity
when using tlie Fluid, slid to be fully understood by
all. 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine l have referred to, viz :
tut lini't Ics,—Articles that purge or operate on Die
bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of tlie roots
or barks, and many pills, autihjlious. Ac.: anything
known to lie good fursuch purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
lor this purpise, will answer when used in connection
with Die “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
tlnenee And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, iMslophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, ami *0 011; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics. Articles that give tone or strength, such
us quinine, various barks, roots and bitter lo l ls*. Bone
set or thorougliw ort is one of tlie best used in fevers.
Aat tinge nt s.—Sueli as check Die action of the
bowels. Uiudauum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlie effect.
St Iniulaiita.— Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne piqqsT) is one of the luist;
giugei, spirits, hmtshorn, Ac., tlie essences are ult more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are g, nerallv
used, but Die Negative Electric Fluid is a bet*cr dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” ami
“sedative” than known in Die nuihria inedien.
1 shall not tax the reader with along list of proofs,
depending mainly on tlio results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that 011 the

which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates:
Me, tlie undersigned, certify to tlie following, viz—
M e took passage on the packet *h ip Duchess d'Orlcun*.
Capt llutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9tli of Au

emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out milling the emigrants, They were nil

Iff Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and
tlo-r Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of
Bilious Fevers, accompanied hy Typhoid Symp
lons : Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship
and Jail Fever, general Debility, Night
Sweats, and all other forms of disease
which have a common ohidin in
aiA.IiAH.ZA OR MIASMA.
f I'l [ES E diseases are common to many localities of the
1 Cnited States; but wherever tliey prevail, North,
South, East or Meat, tliey all equally spring from the
same niiasinal cause. Tlie great variety ol symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is the same, tliey will all equally yield to a remedy
• that is coin|sdeut to overcome or remove that cause.
By tile laws Ilf Nature, every principle lias 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 wufer, decanipo
’ sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is tlie same in character and effect; is a [sii
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance witli those unalterable laws
governing Die unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in tlie preparation before us, offered to
tlie public,
Tlie Natural Antidote to Mnlni-iu,
which neutralizes the poison w believer it comes in eon
tael w ith it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities Die sy stem affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
Tlie remedy is believed to lie entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
tlie following extraordinary results from its use ;
It will instantly check the ague ill persons who have
suffered 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 lie effected; tlie patient contin
uing free from Die complaint for ever; unless subsequent
e.x|K)Huro to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon tlie poison in tlie system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
Bcneral Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow Die administration of other mode
tines. Tin- patient nt once begins to rei ver appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use l ever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class in tlio community; farmers, mc

Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
j from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
I year.
Biuee the introduction of the CUKE in every part of
the United States, its success lias been so complete and
| 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, tliey seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because ail llie resources of
science Imd been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and wlmt wits still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies eir treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, Mill'll as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Balicine, 4c.
The elleet* of Du se are sometimes worse timn the disease
they subdue, and when sueli remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects .iro superudded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tin- 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 the Remedy 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 Knlirc llhiiiilc.ss.jic**,
The following eertilieate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in tlie United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
New York, June 11, 1856.
“1 have made a chemical examination of Hinnies’ Fevei
ami Ague Cure, or Antidote to .Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of cither in it, nor have I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES it. CHILTON, M. I)., Chemist.
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to ele an equally good worthy
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
Tin- 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 taken iu advance.
This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one and
the samo cause, and therefore all, laitli residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timelyuse
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 advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi
cine hy a mild cathartic or aiitihilious purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
mid free the biliary passages, lteinember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be Taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.— lll certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (diuing plates,) and place them in
sleeping rooms; for tlie vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air watted across, or circulated over tlie
dregs of it, utter the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
auil destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, tlie miasmata or jsiison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise Ik
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 ash Ague Cure” blown in tlie

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under tlie titles
of Sarsaparilla*. Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
i daily brought to their notice Dirough the newspapers by
I way of advertisements. My object iu writing tiiis note
for publication, is to induce tlie public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Held Use. in I‘ulmmuirg Diseases. lam conscious that in
, so doiug. I am acting most unprofcssiomdly. and deroga
j torily to Die interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to M’oodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a acientlflo remedy that 1 have
I used with more success than any of the usual prescrip

would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen but

This priqiaintion lias attained a w ide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its jicculiar propertiesas a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably lie preferred to any other offered to the
puldie. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and gonial warmth
keepiug tlie digestive |*iwcrs iu proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the nicdk-al fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians ol New York city. Every bottle Is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. YVe guaran

Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mer

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —l have just sent
an order to Amos A Holliday for another hall gross of
your Fever and Ague Cure. It has sold like •• Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a ease of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and tcld them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had one ease
of Chill Fever where it run fourdnys, but the man came
to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.

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 11ALSAM” 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 alxittle of your Cure. So far it works like
n charm. Y ours truly,

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 Isittle. and de- i
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I I
can in its sale. “ AV. A.HAYLES.
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 in‘o every town and village i
in the United States, Canadas, 4c. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
tbe Fever and Ague or not. just as they please.
1 can also sav 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 be noticed that tbe letter’s
of which I publish su li 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 any other Ague Remedy.
Thr Crnxvning'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 tlio warm and sickly sea
son*. 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 tin*
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all

Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
