IJy the term “ fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame in subject, including nnmll pox and other eruptive fevern; hut an they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar count!tutioun and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; y*l all are distinguished by the same general character* Mtics—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 the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, ol King s College, London, whose work on the 44 Princi ples and Practice of Physic’’ is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. On page SiW, he says : —“ We hear continually, both in :md out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of, IJy the public, Typhus Fever, brain Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Knteric, and < forth. Now-, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this suit-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre si ri be for a disease according to its name. There is mo line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can he relied on. They run insensibly Into each other, even the invert 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 minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” il you have h ver. treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you H iIJ In* well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel oped, so as to he properly named by the most scientific, ‘i'llis-assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases t,hy myself and others) under a’ great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates.

Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritahility of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not lone sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many eases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, mid condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, I give under tills head general directions tor all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition culled fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the niinir it may I ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he cx peeted to control all organic or local causes, which, when siieli exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate means, and these solmld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, us they will then more readily act. producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary lime will then lie lost.

FIMIESK diseases are common to many localities of the X United States; hut wherever they prevail, North, I South, East or West, they all equally spring from tlie j same miasms! cause. The great variety of symptoms und ; forms of disease is owing principally to difference in uge, sex, constitution uud habits of the sufferers; hilt 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 lias its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause of disease, (here is 11 re agent, or in other words u specific remedy. All Malaria, whether urisiug from Marshes, fltagnunt water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is tlie same iu character und effect; is a poi son flouting ill tlie atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe It. Iu accordance with those unalterable laws governing tin: unerring affinity subsisting between op jHisitcx, there is 111 tlie preparation before ins, offered to the public, Tlie Aintiii-ul Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the |sjisou whenever it comes in eou taet vvitli it, even in the open air, nud when taken inter nally completely purities tlie system uftcctcd by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores und preserves health. Tlio remedy is believed to be entirely new, aud un known to any hut tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly cheek tlie ugue iu persons who have suffered tor any length of time, from one day to twenty years, aud by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin uing free from tlie complaint for ever; uulese subsequent e.\|ioKurc to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon tlie poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it w ill entirely prevent tlie accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other rnede clues. The putient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, aud continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By ils use Fever and Ague utay he banished from every family and class iu the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, Aud pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ugue or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of tlie year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of tlio United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying us to have fully proved these assertions iu favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, ut the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to uiuny, even of tlie most candid minds, because ull the resources cf science had been taxed iu vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still nurse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have becu limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quiuiuc, Mercury, flaliciue, Ac. The effects of these arc sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, tlieir poisonous effects are superudded to tlie poor sufferer's first cuiupiuint. On tliiis account ugue sufferers should be particularly careful übout usiug auy secret Fever aud Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect sufety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that tlie Remedy is not only valuable 011 account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to cvety bottle : Nkw York, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever und Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine mui Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family front malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing tlie taking of other medicines which do harm. Tlio entire absence of auy baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable us a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken iu advance. This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one mil tlie sauie cause, und tiierefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poiaou already lurking iu their veins, to develop itself iu a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, uud so destroy tlie poison before it does barm. F'uil directions and advice as to diet und habits of life prepared by a distinguished I’hysiciuu long resident iu a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often tic found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Ciestor Oil. tlie object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it mlst be taken or the operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only ('Million, —ln certain Hjiociflt'd cases, |aiur the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining (dates,) und place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tlie air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degteo commensurate with its expo sure, tlie uiiasmatu or poison contained iu the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. Tlie bottles iu which this medicine is put up have tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aouk Cire” blown in the glass, ami oil tlie outside wrupper is the name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. Tub reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufticicut.

Rhodes, Esq. — Dear Bir: — I have just sent an order to Amos A Ilulliday for allotller half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure. It lias sold like” Hot Cakes,” aud 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because w hen 1 have heard of 11 ease of Ague or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and told them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, aud they were all satisfied. I hail one case of Chill Fever where it run lour days, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 21 Bottles Perform 24 Cures.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, slept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady iu tlie family of a clergyman here lias been taking an ” AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per manent benefit—a few days siuee she got a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got ahottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours trulv, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited KvUlence from a Physician. Monticei.lo, lnd., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A.

If any loiily desires further evidences, they will find it iu every bottle of tlie CURE, which is heiug intro duced 11s rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas. Ac. Tlie eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R.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 he realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will lie noticed that the letters of whieli I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the tact of it greater suc cess and sale tlianeverutteniled any other Ague Remedy. The CrowningLiloi-y of tlie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as 11 preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tin- warm and sickly sea sons, not * man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or auy form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, io which tlie Cure is a perfect untidotc. It is ulso unequalled for quick aud permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life und strengtli to all ; whose constitutions have becu shuttered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor aud de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
