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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, THOMAS (1. ANDREWS. 1. O. O. F.

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.

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. .1 AM EE.
