Other reasons might he added, hut these are deemed

The almvcreasons are more particularly apple ablo to
the immediate treatment on the lirst attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have heroine reduced, corresponding of course
•a, the nature of the case at the time it is lirst adinillls
trrad.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual mid perma
nent relief, In all ordinary canes, when used sikiii after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
a little cohi, which gave alarm—lt could have been
nothing of consequence—it. would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had noeffeet.” Thu general
impression ini the subject of fever is srtcli, that gilts
not unlike the >hove follow the cure of a common case
i: naturally its men think nt all; and it is not until
the individual hits witnessed many eases that he can fully
realise the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simph- medicine, yet perilous, though they have
been tints successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expert that there will ruses occur where there i some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though suecesstul in reducing the fever,
il will again rise as the influence id’ the “ Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
/alnst disappointment in such cases that f have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.”
Remark* on Fevers in (ienerah
Du this subject I wish to lie fully understood. By the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development anil exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that of undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tin- skin,
debility, 4c.
To show that 1 aui nut wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, 1 quote from the celebrafeil Prof. T. Watson,
ol King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
pies and Practice Os I’hyste” is a textbook it my of
our medical colleges, and consequently sta min ril a u/hnrity.
Dn page Hitt, he says;—“We hear continually, Imtli in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, l,ow Fever, Nervous Fever,
\c. And systematic writers are to the lull as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Entcric, and
so forth. Now, admitting tliut fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind ol all this Sub-division, is had and hurtful. II
mages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
rilie for a disease according to its name. Thero is no
genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, aud are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
ami I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
lever, treat it nt once us hereafter directed, and you
“>iU he well instead of any distinctcharactcr being devel
oped, so as to he properly named by the most scientific.
Thin assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed
side ol the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of eases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear Ibis in mind,
anil treat at once without, regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger
mg and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed beforothe “Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Hub s”
aud “ Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all these
aeeustomeu to attendance upon the sick.

will give immediate relief.

trouble; there will he hut little eruptinn even iu small
|six. Thin, to most minds, ie anew idea, and doubtless
will lie regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
Isildly make the assertion, that small pox, il treated as
I direct, will he cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
Its running its orilinury course Dn this I will stake
not only my reputation, hut all that I bold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874;
“You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the nuinlier uj’ the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
lie done. I nave not only proven it may lie, hut has
been done in numerous eases that occurred on hoard
ship. See tin- account appended.
(live a teosp. sin fill or more, according to the urgency
of the ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until til. feversub
siiles—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
hut it should In- given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. AVlu-n (lie throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathe,l, as thought advisable.
In one ease, on the ship Duchessil’Orleans, tin tongue
and liiuciis w.-re 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 it was given in teaspoonful dose* every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment In about twelve hours by the Fluid alone. —
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gurgle in all such eases.
I*nri|M'in 1 or Cliildbetl Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tile
Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the
Fluid will arrestit iu a. short time. It should he re
peated as long as the Inver continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of eourse should he attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them milch pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and
Muothiug etfeet deprives the labor efmiteli of its pains
and difficulties; it must In- tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation w ill he relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Host leanness, nervous Irritability,
lira cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; ill short, it is one of the most cuuvcnientand
effectual lies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritubility of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will net force sleep like opiates, hut it will south and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy : hence its use in so many eases.
Synopsis,
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tin- treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition culled fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may boor ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot Ire e,x
poeted to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When eueli indications occur in any ease, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then he lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tile dose; if attended
w ith diarrluca, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition: if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply seme stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a Mister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; it
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water.
If convenient, or some cooling application, ami bathe
the feet ill hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole 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 w ill tie no trou
ble; it the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low
levers, in absence of fever or when indicated: also,
during eonvulescenee, w hen the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine w ill remain on the stomach
to doaay good ; for this purpose 1 generally give seme
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose: when the
stomach has settled, give tin: •• Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as yen would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success” will
crown your efforts; indeed, you ran not realize it till you
have seen, and then you will he astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may tool at a loss In know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and le he fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of ii
cine I have referred to. viz;—
Cat II a riles, —Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, stu b as caster oil, salts, senna, any ol tho roots
or harks, aud many pills, autihilioiis. A,'-.: anythin”
known to lie ginid tbrsueli purposes.
Hepal lea.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
tor this pm |hisc, will answer when used in connection
with the Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may cheese calomel—another Idmi
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and he sue
ccttriful.
Toil lea.-Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs lioiie
set or thorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers
Astringents.— Buch as check the action of the
bowels. Ijitidanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, net properly astringents
which have tho effect.
Stimulant*. —Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best •
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes nei-essa
ry in treating levers, though many others enerallv
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better •• dia
phoretic,” anodyne,” •• diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than know n iu tho materia Mislini.

MALARIA on MIASMA.
rpiiKSi: diseases are common to many localities of the
United States; hut wherever they prevail, North,
South, East or West, they ail equally spring from the
tame lnliiHiiiul eauso. The great variety ofHyniptoms 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 tea remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
Uy the laws id’ Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or iu other words a specilic remedy. All Malaria,
w hether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
clcarcd lands, is tile same iu character aud effort; is a poi
son flouting in the atmosphere, cawing disease to all w ho
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing tie unerring aflinity subsisting between op
posites, there i>j iu the preparation before us, offered to
the public.
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it conus in con
tact witli it. even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by It of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to Is- entirely new, ami un
known to any Imt tie proprietor, who distinctly claims
tile following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly cheek the ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by eoutinning its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will he effected ; the patient contin
uing free from tile complaint forever; unless subsequent
exjiosurc to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison iu the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, ami when the disease is cured, it
wilt entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
cilies. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
liy its use Fever and Ague may lie banished from
every family ami class in the community; formers, me
chanics, and nil laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from agile or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of
the United States, its success has 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,they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all the resources of
science hod 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 liecn limited to poisomms or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, galicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, und when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects .tie suporadded
to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he partieularly
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 jiotcwy depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that tin- Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular ami Kntirc Harm less ness.
The following certificate from ono of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle:
New York, June 11. 1855.
“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, hut
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CIIILTON, M. D., Chemist. “
it is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, Imt to do an equally good work l>y
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire ailvsence 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 tho one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the iliseases being produced by one and
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect tlieuisolves ly 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 tlie (.'lire as a preventive, aud so destroy
the poison before it does liana.
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 offen lie found necessary to precede this medi
cine hy a mild cathartic or autihilioiis purgative. Tlie
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costivenoss, it must re taken
or tlie operation of the antidote will he seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —ln certain specified eases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) anil place them in
sleeping rooms; lor the vapor rising from tlie medicine,
and also tlie air wafted across, or circulated over tin:
dregs of it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract
ami destroy, to a degree commensurate witli its expo
sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained iu tlie apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tlie 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 tlie
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Auuk Cere” blown in the
glass, and on tin- 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, wherever introduced ami used. These
will be considered sufficient.

North among the Physicians, and lias been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of tlie Yellow Jesaniine,
the pure decoction id’ Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than anv
other Cough Medicine iu this country.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Orleans. April il, 1855.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
j of Sarsaparilla*. Pills. Plasters. Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to tlieir notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Ileal I'sr in /hd mono ry IHti uses. lam conscious that in
so doing. lam acting most unprofessionally.and deroga
torily to the interests nt Medical Science aud the regular
Practitioners ot Medicine, I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used witli more success than any of tlie usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss.. May 1, 1866.
, G- O. Woodman— Dear Sir: 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
leets; better than any other article I ever met with. I
would lie pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by tiie bearer. Respectfully.
W. M. Mason, >l. D.
1 liis preparation has attained a w ide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and iu fact, any pulmonary complaints,
tins medicine, from its peculiar propartiesas a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all Irritations of the throat,
will probably la- preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping tlie digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough .Medicine tliut
lias stood tlie test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the lending
Physicians ot New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satistaetion or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than anv Cherry Pectoral. C<sl Liver
Oil. or anything else now-extant.’

see what tin’ president of the Plinvninfciitirnl Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
lidotc to Malaria :
St. Luuis, Mo.. Nov. 10, 1856.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by tlie celebrated chemist Dr. .1. R. Chilton,
of New York city, in favor of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, Quit it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Jler
, urp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, J miis induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for tlie medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured liy it, and to whom 1 can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to la- nil that
tin- proprietor represents.

James A. Rhodes, Kq.—Dear Fir:—l have just sent
mi order to Arnes A Hal Inlay for another half gross of
yom Fever and Ague Cure. It has sold like” 1 Lot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it

or Chill Fever. 1 have sent a bottle and teld them tu try
it. aud if it did not help them, tln-y were not obliged to
pay for it, anil they were all satisfied. 1 had one ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, hut the man came
to see me oil the sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it bus been to me. 1 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 I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing y.mr m ‘(Heine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,

Iu another column of to-day's paper will be found an
advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.”
We are not in tlie habit of puffing medicines, but desire
to say, for tlie benefit of the afflicted.that Wm. X.
Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in
forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in
every ease it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi
cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it
before the notice of tlie public. —Odd Fellow, Bomusboro,

Evidence from a 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 15ALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and lias not had 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. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Montickllo, Iml., Aug. 37, 1855.
,1. A. Knows—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself anil prescribed it in a number of instances with
]ierfeet surer ßespectfully yours.
W. <l. SPENCER.
Lousviuk No. 11,1’. K. K., Ga., dun. 1, 1850.
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 everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. ’ W. A.IIATLBS.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CUKE, which is being intro
] dnccil as rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the 1 nited States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent ehem
] ist, l>r. .1. I\.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not. just as they please.
1 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 lie noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish su h immense quantities are always
new anil laic dates—altogether they would more than
till any newspaper, and prove the hu t of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tin- Crowning; Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as u 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 jx rfect 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 ami de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
