To show that I am not wholly aloiio in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, ol Kingdi College, lamdon, whose work on tlm “ Prim 1 pies and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many ol ■ mi medical colleges, and consequently flout tunl utillricih/. ilii page Bft4, he says:—“We near continually, Isdli in and out of the profession, different species of fever spn- I;eu of.

There is no line nf genuine distinction between continued fevers, licit can tie relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even tlm most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the saute cause.” Tlm above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami I would impress on your iniads the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” If you have lever, treat it at. once us hereafter directed, and you n i// If well instead of any distinctclnmictcr being dc'vel "|n'd, so as to Im properly named by the most scientific.

In connection with tliis subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials.

It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as nmcli as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all eases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may lie or ought to he called, it should lie given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must la> removed in order to effect ii permanent cure. When Nil*ji indications occur in any ease, they should lie appropriate means, and these solndd 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 lime will then lie lost. As tlie ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 cull all else auxiliary treatment. If til*'bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with the tirst dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in *iue time, repeat the dose; if attended with diariTuea, 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 iullammation. apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet 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, with great suffering, sponge nr bathe the wltole 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 then* will be no trou ble; if the patient lias 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 and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the .stomach to do any go,hi: for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as y *m would under any other circumstances, giving tlie ” Fluid” at the same time us directed, and success will crow n your efforts; indeed, you cuunot realize it till you have aeen, amt then you will In* astonished at tin- ease with which vou can control all febrile excitement.

The great variety of symptoms and ; forms of di*e;i.sc is owing principally to difference in age, i sex, cinstitution and habits of the suflOerors; hut as the , cause is lie- same, they will all equally yield to a remedy . that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Hy the laws of Nature, every principle has its opjxisite. j and for every disease, or catiHc of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Maluiia. whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even new i> cleared lands, is ih< same in character and effect; is ;t poi son flouting in the at mosph ere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting bet ween op posites, there t in the preparation before us. ottered to the public, Tin; Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neuira!i/cs tlie fH>ison whenever it comes in con tact with ii. even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores jntd preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un- I known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims \ the following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check the ague in persons who have | suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty I years, and by continuing its use, according to the dircc- I tions, a radical cun* will be effected; the patient eontin- j uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent | exposure to nmluria should make its use again necessary, i In its operation upon the poison in the system, it will ! immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil- 1 bum or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it w ill entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and NigUt Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cities. Tile patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. lly its uso Fever and Ague may bo banished from every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me chanics* and all laboring people may lie using this arti cle as a Pre venti vc, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, w hich i> often to them tlie most valuable part of the yvjn. Since the introduction ol the CL lira in every part ol the United States, its success has been so complete and uiiyjuyi ng 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 .ill the resources of science liad been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wluit wilts still worse for ague sufferers, | all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. Un this account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they nmy 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 llemedy 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 Entire llarntlessiicss, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New Yoke, June 11, 1855. •*I have made a chemical examination ofHhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but 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 U. CHILTON. M. 1).. Chemist.” It is ji stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the biking of other medicines w hich do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes Ibis Hemedy 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 he taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all. both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not w ait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, ami so destroy the poison belbre it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by ;i distinguished Physician long resident in u Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or aiitihilious purgative. The very best thing for* general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of w hich is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it mi st ke taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously olk structed. Only Caution*—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,i and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This liivKle of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to wlieu very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words. “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) ami the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are takcu to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance you its success is entirely upon its actual merits, whcrever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an ” ACII'E BALSAM” 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 lialsam some time without relief until lie got. a bottle of your Cure. Fo far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all I ran in its sale. \V. A. HAY'LEF. 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 into every town and village in the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. .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. I 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 tie noticed that the letters of which I publish su ii immense quantities are always new and iate dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of tlie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as 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 ami Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to whirl) tlie Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quiok 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 nr any kind nf intemperance or dissipation.
