It is to guard against disappointment In such cases that I have given ~n d frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers In General* Oil this subject l wish to he fully understissl. By the term “fevers.” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, inc luding small jsix and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions ami habits, they of course differ considerably in tln-ir development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that of undue excitement in thu circulatory ami nervous systems —inducing mure or less iiiiliatiii al fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly ulone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrafed l’rol. T. Watson, ..l King’s College, London, whose work on the “ J’-rinci ples and l’ractico Os I’hysic” is a text hook in many of mil- medical colleges, and consequently standa rd authority. On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in aud out of the profession, different species of fever spin ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever, \i‘. Aud systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (iastro-Knteric, and • i forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect ii|hiii the mind 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 ran he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Tlio above Is a great fact, out’ worthy of remembrance nml I would impress on your miuds the folly of limiting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have lever, trout it nt onro as hereafter ilirortoil, mid you mill be. well instead of any distiuctcliaractcr lioing devcl opod, bo ub to bn properly named l>y the uioat sciontitio.

Hear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to mime, and rest assured you will sisiu be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have be- in developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe ns briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attenilanee upon the sick.

It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it ilogins to rise again, should such be the ease under any circumstances. Ith. When the fever begins to subside, patients must he left perfectly quiet: free from all excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till tlieir men natural feelings, independent of all extra neous Influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation he allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, liut he left quiet to till intents and purjHtsc.s. 6th. fluids should he allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as tho patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, cither cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. flth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness w hile in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed oil, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face ami breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

Old persons do not require us much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, us much as males. There is no particular cure necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; hut for a little guide, I have given the shove table, with the remark that, us a general rule, children require more than adults in pro]s>rtiou. By observing the above directions, the medicine will he found agreeable in nil es its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished.

As these fevers are all 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 tally developed, a little patience will 1> required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but u few days w ill bo necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence.

As all of these diseases are attended with lever, which ill lai-t is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common levers. Ueinembci never wait In learn the “ name,” whether it IS unu or tin other, or neither, a. they all commence with Acer, hut treat it at nure; govern the fever and there will he no trouble; there will he but liitti aujdhm even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridletlle by many. I nevertheless Is,ldly make the assertion, that small pox, il treated as 1 direct, i vi/I I” cal short; attended with but little erup tion; little „i no pitting, and that there is no necessity ol its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, hut all that I hold niost deal . besides, on’ this subject, Ihave good authority; that ol Prof Matson, previously quoted. lie says, page Bi 4: ” Von may abate the force of the eruptive fever, ami keep down, It is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, &e.” Here Is the admission that it may he done. I nave not only proven it maybe, but has in> n done in numerous eases that occurred on hoard ship. See the account appended. (live a leus|KKinful or more, according to the urgency oi tile case, with u dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the l'eversub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; Imt it should he given and repeated sufficiently lo keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any el the ordinary gargles may lx- used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one ease, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and fallens w ere so in m il swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak. and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to unable him to take nour ishment in alxnit twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, It is doubtless the best yarylr iu all such cases. Piiei’lieral or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tile 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 teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need ho entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should ho re peated ns long as the luver continues, as in other cases. Tim bow els of course should he attended to. 11l connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by thu ladies, will save them much pain and sniveling. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of tln-ir trials, ill child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to bo appreciated,— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by itsuse; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine know n. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth aud quiet Ihe system so that one can sleep naturally ami healthy i hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions ter all cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and eontrol it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to he called, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control ail organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, und these sohuhl he given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, us 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, 1 eall all else auxiliary treatment. If the how els are costive, give a cathartic (sec auxili aries) with the iirst dose, or soon utter, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose: if attended with diarrhica, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations ofhittcr herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wot in cold water, to the 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, w ith great suffering, sponge or hntlie the w hole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will lx- no trou ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tellies and stimulants, particularly in low levers, in nbscuoe 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 w ill remain on the stomach to (lousy good: for this purpose I generally give sonic gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose: when the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” anil 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, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will lx. astonished nt the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement.

Ac.; anything know n to lie good for such purposes. Ilcpatlcs.—Anything known to act outlie liver particularly, portal circulation anil secretions generally.

Astringents.—Such ns cheek the action of the hoivels. Laudanum anil other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which liuve tlie effect. Mlmii Ia uis.—Articles Unit raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Ouyciinc pepper) is one of the best ; gitiget, spirits, liurtsliorn, &c., tlie essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in Ircnting levels, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better dia phoretic,” “auixlyue,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in tlio materia meihca. I shall not tax the render with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will’ only refer to one instance of success, that on the Packet alt Ip Duchess D’Orleuna. which cannot lx- classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz— We took passage on the packet ship Duchess d'Orleans, Unpt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France, and bound for New York.

The great variety ofsymptonis 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 ton remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. ||y the laws of Nature, every principle Ims its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in oilier words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, .stagnant water, decompo sition of n ll iiiin 1 and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a pci son tli suing in ttie atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with tliosu unalterable laws governing tin- unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, liiere is in the preparation before us, offered to tin- public. Tln; Natural Antidote to Mularta, which neutralizes the poison w henever it conus in con tact with il. even in the open aiv. and when taken inter nally completely purilies the system affected by it of its baneful inlllienee, and thus restores mid preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, ami un known to any Imt the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly check the ague iu persons who have suffered tin- any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will he 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 ttie poison ill the system, it will immediately relieve all file distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of Gencrul Debility aml Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode lines. The patient at oticc begins to roever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague limy he banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, und alt laboring people may lie using this arti cle us 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. Si nee tliu introduction of the CURE 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 those declarations were made, at the dutc of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources if science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wiiat was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, Midi as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saliciue. Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and wlicusuch remedies fail, or give only leuiiioraiy relief, tlieir poisonous effects are superadded to tfie poor 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 iijxm 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 und Knfirc Harmlcssness, The following certificate from one of tins most celebrated chemists in the United States lms been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle : Njeiv York, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a diemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either iu it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES K. CHILTON, M. 1)., 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 gixxl work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is us 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 liy one and tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of tliis preventive, and not wait for tiie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself iu a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, aud so destroy tlie poison before it docs harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by u 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 antibilious purgative. Tlie very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary; or there is costiveness, it just he taken or flic operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution*—lu certain specified cases, poin tin’ contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, aud also tlie air watted across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract ami destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. Tliis mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants arc exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which tliis medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aiiee Cere” Mown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reuance for its beccess is entirely iron its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will !’ considered sufficient.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but worthy woman, who lias nut been fro e from l ever aml Ague a month at a time for the last twelve years, I sup plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just scut an order to Ames A ilalliday for another half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure. It lias sold like Ilot Cakes,” and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when I have heard of a ease of Ague or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and teld 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 bad one ease of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me “ii tlie sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. Si l.ottlts Perform i 1 Cures.

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 I adopted, my health grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since thnt time I 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 tlie 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 Curo and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got it bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been ill 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 per feet success. Respectfully yours. W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. K., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure has 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 everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. HAY'LES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tlie CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. It. Chilton. of New Yolk, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tlie Fever aud Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a yew 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 the letters of which 1 publish su -li immense quantities are always new and late dates —altogether they would more than till any newspaper, aud prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tile CrowniligGlory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use us 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. 1( is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whoso constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
