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.

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.

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.

See Synopsis. 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 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.

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.

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.

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 glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and Die signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. Tub reliance for its success is entirely upon ns actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will le Considered sufficient.

HAYING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis given by tlie celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York city, in furor of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mer curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous aje plications for it, 1 was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes for the medicine. Since then I have disposed of u large quantity, mostly to residents of this city, wlio have inva riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer. 1 am, therefore, satisfied in recommending it to lie nil that tlie proprietor represents. EDWARD 8. M il EATON. Presii't of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri. Hull the Ague for Twelve Years! Providence, June 29, 1860. Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but worthy woman, who lms not been fre e from Feverjiml Ague a month at a time tor the last twelve years, I sup plied her gratuitously witli Rhodes’ Fever and 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 to doubt the perma nenty of the erne. C. A. P. MASOF, Apothecary. TO Bottles Perforin 70 Cures. Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1855. 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. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. ‘44 Unities Perforin 44 Cures.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. 1 was first attacked by chills and fever on tlie Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of Die different remedies and treatment l 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 y jur rn idieine the success that it merits, 1 remain truly yours. THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-duy's paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not ia the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of tlie afflicted, that M'm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg. who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of tile public.— Odd Fellow , Hisiiislniro. Md. Sept. 4. Kvidence from 11 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 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, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Kvtdeuce from a Physician. Montickllo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir —1 have been in tlie practice of Medicine here for about three years, and ran con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully vours. ’ W. (i. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. It. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 185t>. 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 whose constitutions have been shuttered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
