llrmnrlts on Fevers In General*
■in this subject I wish to lie fully understood, fly the
term “ fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which I lie 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 looslitutimiH
ami habits, they of course ilitter considerably in their
development amt exhibit a variety of forms or types;
y and all are distinguished by tile same general clmnutcr
isties- Dipt ot undue excitement in the circulatory ami
nervous systems —Inducing more or less unnatural fre
liiency in the pulse, sense of heat, tlrvness of I lie skin,
debility, Ac.
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. By the public. Typhus Fever, llraiu Fever,

encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro*
cribe lor a disease according to its name. 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

As those fevers are all of otic character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse I
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 la* requirial; still

the common treatment, while with this Imt a few day*

never wait In learn the “name,” whether it is omi or the
other, or neither, as they nil commence with free, but
treat it at once; govern the lever and there will lie lie
trouble; there wHI he but tittle erujUion even in small

will lie regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that, small pox, if treated as
I direct, trill In: cut stunt; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is ii” ntctmfg of
its running its ordinary course. On lids I will stake
not only my reputation, imt all that I hold most dear:
besides, mi Ibis subject. I have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page *>74:
•* Vou may abate tlm force of the eruptive fever, and

ship. Fee the account appended.

of the ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours it necessary, until 111*’ lever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient ;
hut it should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tlie fever miller control. When the throat is affected,
any ol the ordinary gargles may he used, and Ilie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tlie ship Duchess d’Orleans, tie longue
ami fattens were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak. and he was cured liy dropping Ilie
Fluid mi his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given In teaspoouful doses ‘ nyy knnr. 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 gargle in all such eases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This liHi'ctoforo painful, dangerous mid alarming
malady to which Ilie mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Lie* trie Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single * lose or two of u
teasjMioiiful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the
Fluid will aired it in a short time. It should lie re
peated us lung us the fnver continues, as in other eases.
The itmveis of course should lie attended to.
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. In child-birth, its relaxing and
HiHdhing ctfret deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.—
I'aiulul menstruation w ill be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. ltestlessni'SK, nervous irritability,
ora I'oht taken qt a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies formally of tlie ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
und iritability of tlie nervous as well as the circulatory'.
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

Fartics may fool at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics. Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found no Hitch ueeessitv
when using tlie Fluid, and to lie fully understood by
all. 1 will name a tew of the different ‘articles of metli
] cine 1 have referred to, viz
t ‘at it a i*t lo a.—Articles that purge or operate on the
how els. Mieli as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many pills, aiitihilious. Ac.; anything
known to he gisal for such purposes.
llo|iallos. —Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
llueuee. And one limy choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the think podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on: each may take his choice and he suc
cessful.
Tonies. Articles that give tone or stretlgtli, inch
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bom
set or tliiirougliwoft is one of the best used in fevers.
AatrliijgMta.—Such as cheek the action of tlm
Ninels. Noidanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or . xeite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the lust;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Khvtric Fluid is a better - dia

It will instantly check the ague in persons who have |

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.

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.

an order to Amos A: Ilalliday for another half gross of
your Fivemnd Ague Cure. It has sold like” Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it

it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it. and they wele nil satisfied. 1 had one case

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. .1. A. Rhodes, —Dear Fir—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
” 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.

Monticello, Imi., Aug. 27, 1555.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in the practice

myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours.

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. 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.
