It is to guard against disappointment In such cases that I have given and frequently refer to what I have called a *• synopsis.” Hemerks on Fever# in General* On this subject I wish to lie fully understood, liy the term “fever*,” 1 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 ami 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—lnducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tlie skin, debility, Ac. Tn show that I am not wholly alone in tlie opinion I advance, I quote from tho celebrated I’rof. T. Watson, of King's College, hondon, whose work on llie “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, tuidconsequently atandurdauthnritg. (hi pngu 834, hoay#“ VVc hear continually, both in mid out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Ity tlie public, Typhus Fever, 1 train Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-Euterlc, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that tlie effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is laid 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 can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even tlie most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your mind# tlie folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “wante;” if you have fever, troat it lit once ns hereafter directed, and you will lw will instead of any (list! net character being devel oped, so as to lie properly named liy tlie most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula tions or v isions of mind, Imt on experience at tlie bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousand* of eases (by myself and others; under a great variety of cir rumatanccH, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to limin’, and rest assured you will soon ho freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous levers. Hut as cases may have be come developed before the “Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible tlie proper course to be pursued in nil of tho most prominent fevers, though tho “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those iieeustomoii to attendance upon tho sick. l/ules important to be observed in nil eases in using the Negative Jilectric Fluid.

When the fever begins to subside, patients must lie left perfectly quiet; free from ull excitement; should not lio questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, road or take any exercise whatever, till their men natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation lie allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but lie left quiet to till intents ami purposes, 6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and ns long us tlie patient desires and no longer; they may cousist of cold water, inueiliigiiious drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either vld or warm, as parties may prefer or puticuts desire. ‘•*li. Should iNitients experience any oppression or faintness while in tlie lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after tlie lover lias passed off', 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 uml breast may he bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in tlie prime of life; nor females, ns a general rule, ns much us males. Thorn is uo particular caro necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken lull doses; hut for a little guide, 1 have given tin* above table, with tlie remark that, as u general rule, chUilreu require more than adults in proportion. Ily observing the above directions, tlie medicine will lie (bund agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of tiie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that tlu full benefit of tho medicine may tie obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Hilton* or Itcnilt t cut Fever.

Congeal I v<> Fever.

Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typints, Ship anti Put ritl or Spotted Fever. As those fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulso small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use iu separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will ho required; still comparatively little, us they frequently run weeks under lhe common treatment, while with this but a few days will tie necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should lie commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with i ’< leaspoonful of•• Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued ! ones in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. I In pud cases, from three to live grains each of guuiine and enpeiiittin (Cayenne pepper; or some tonic and stimu lant auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. The bowels should be kept geutly open, and small |<urtioUn of soma Jujnilu; should lie given occasionally, even though the liTwels should lie very loose. The patient should In* sustained by nourishing and mueilagenous •li ink s—sin'll ns are in common use in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous. Tonics should lie used during ouvalesceuce, iu all cases which have Isicome reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Liung or Winter Fever. llive a tcus|H#>ntii! of the “Fluid” every two hours, wiili a wini-glassfnl ofu strong decoction of Ismeset; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. Tlie Ismeset tea should lie given warm till the violent symptoms tiro allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, tn lie applied over the seat of pain; keep tlie bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Hubcolu and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, tlie treatment differs line little from that ofrommon fevers. ltememtsT never wait to learn tho •'name,'’ whether it is one or tlie other, or neither, tin they nil commence with Jeve.r, hut treat it at once; govern the fever and there will lie no trouble; there will be hut link eruption even in small pox. Tliis, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will lie regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless Itoldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as i direct, trill lie cut short; attended with lmt little erup tion; little or no [lilting, and that there is no nacessitg ol’ its running its ordinary course. Un this I will stake not onlv my reputation, imt all that I hold uniat dear; In side-.'on this subject, I have good authority; that of I’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: -Von may abate the force of tlie eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, tlie number ij/ the pustules liy spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission Unit it may be done. I have not only proven it null/ he, hut has In / a done in numerous cases Unit occurred on Issu'd ship. Hoe tin- account appended. (live a tenspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency oi’ tlie case, x\itli n dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once mi two hours if necessary, until tbo fuversub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep tin-fever under control. When tlie throat is affected, any ot tin- ordinary gargles may Im used, and the surface batln-d, as thought advisable. in olio ease, on tlie ship Duchess d’Orli-aiis, tlie tongue uml faurtis were Ho much swollen that tlie patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tlie Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teusiKwnful doses tiveeg lutur, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the till-oat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tbo throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in ull such ruses. Puri-jierul or Childbed Fever, This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming nutludy to which the mother is liable, will yield to tin- Negative Klectrie Fluid xvitli such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teiis| moll lul, almost iuviiriuldy giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need Isi entertained, as the Fluid w ill arrest it in a short time. It should he re peated us long us tlie foyer continues, as iu other cases. Tlie bowels of course should Is- attended to. In couuci-tiou witli this subject, I cannot refrain from making u few general remarks, which, if regarded by the Indies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform I hem of tho happy effect of the Fluid iu many of tln-ir trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effort deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will lie relieved at once liy u com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken ut a delicate time, is easily relieved liy its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for uiuny of tlie ills of females, if not tin* most so of any medicine known, fts effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as tlie circulatory. It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth uml quiet tlie system so that one can sleep’ naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will cliango tlie condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it limy be or ought to lie called, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any fuse, they should he appropriate means, and these soliuld be given wtiile giving tho “ Fluid,” and in connection xvitli 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 tho fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tin- bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrlm-ti, give something know n to tie good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if Bevore local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tlie part; if violent pain in tlie bend, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet iu hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with grout suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface xvitli water at an agreeable temperature; “tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and Water, cither xvill'afford great relief ami aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will lie no trou ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in loxv fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea uml vomiting, that must lie allayed before any medicine w ill remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleans* the stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the - Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; ill short, treat nil tho prominent symptoms us you would under any other circumstances, giving the “Fluid” ut the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, uud then you will be astonished nt the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. I have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, I xvlll name a texv of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz;— Cat hurtics. —Articles that purge or operate on the hoxvels. such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or harks, and many pills, antiliilious, Ac.; anything knovvii to be gisxd tor such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act outlie liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, w ill answer when used in connection with the ••Fluid” or while the system is under its iu fliicuce. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tlie third, podophyllln—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each limy take his choice and lie suc cessful. Tonics.—Article* that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Hone set or thorougliwort is one of tlie best used in fevers. Astringent*.—Such ns chock the action of the bowels. Iniudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. SI Im util ills. —Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pep|>er) is oue of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences ure all more or less .stimulating. These ure the only classes necessa ry iu treating fevers, though many others arc generally used, but tin- Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,’ - anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” limn known iu the materia medica. I shall uot tux the reader with a loug list of proofs, depending mainly on tlie result# of a trial, and will only refer io oue instance of success, that on the PnckctNliip Dm-hcss D’Orleaiis. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz— We took passage on the packetsliip Duchess d’Orleauz, Capt Hutton, then lying in tho port of Havre, France, and bound for New York. 81 te sailed on the Oth of Au gust, 1851, xvitli over a hundred souls on board, mostlv emigrants- A few-days after leaving Havre, tho small pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all treated by tlie physician iu charge, Dr. N.

During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there wore about eighty cases of small pox. some fever, Ac., and not a single dentil. All were cured with iinu stml promptness. From what we saxv during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. Wo never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

Tlie great variety of symptom# and forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu sge, hcx, coustitution uud habit# of the sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disense, there is a re agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or eveu new ly cleared lands, is tlie same iu character and effect; is a poi son flouting ill the atmosphere, causing diseasetoall who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing (lie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralize# the poison whenever it comes in con tact witli it, exeu in tlie open air, and xvlieli taken inter nally completely [purifies tlie system affected by it of its bunefu! influence, and tints restores ami [preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely nexv, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the, following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check the ague iu persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, uml liy continuing its use, according to the direc tions, u radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from the coinpUlutfor ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should looks its use again necessary. Ili its iqieratiou upon the poison iu the sy stem, it w ill immediately relieve ail the ilistrcssing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sxveats, xvhirh psi often follow tlie administration of other mode cines. The patient at ouce liegius to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may ho banished from every family and clues iu the community; farmers, me chanics, anil all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pm sue their respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tho sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Bince tlie introduction of the CUKE in every part of tho United States, its success has beeu 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 tlie most candid minds, because ull the. resources cf science bail beeu taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat was still worse for ague sufferers, all flieir remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arscuic, Quinine, Mercury, Subdue, Ac. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than tho disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects arc superudded to the poor sufferer’s first coiupluiut. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly on refill about usiug auy secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may bo 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 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 and Entire llarmlessnes*, The follow ing certificate from one of tho most celebrated chemists in the United States lias beeu obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle; New York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever uml Ague Cure, or Antidote to Mularia, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but havu not lbuud a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that xvould prove inju rious to the coustitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., 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 au equally good work by preventing tlie taking of other medicines which do harm. Tlie entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy uot more valuable us a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as tlie one under consideration, if the medicine be taken iu advance. Tliis 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 wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure us a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompuny each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleause the stomach and free the biliary [passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or tlie operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract uud destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or jiolson contained iu the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very youug infants are exi>oscd to malarious situations. The bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass .and on the 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 eor its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

In another column of tisduy's paper will bo found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever mid Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of putting medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm.

This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, ild. Sept. 4. 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 au “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and ha# not had chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time xvithout relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from Physician.

Respectfully yours. AY. 0. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. 11. It., Ga., Jan. 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. T shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES. If uny body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CUKE, which is being intro duced ns rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas. &c. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. It. 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 be noticed that the letters of which I publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tkc Crowning Glory of the 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 and Ague, liilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled fer quick and permanent effects us a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
