Remark* on Fever* in Cieneral*
On this subject I wish to he fully understood. Ily the
term <k fevers.’’ 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they urine by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
mil habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
y t all arc distinguished by the same general character
i tics—that ot 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, &c.
To show that I am not w holly alone in the opinion I
.-idvanca, I quote from the eelehrnfcd Prof. T. Watson,
ol King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard a nth ority.
I hi page SIU, lie says:—“ We hear continually, both in
and out of (he profession, different species offerer spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, l*ow Fever, Nervous Fever,
a*. And systematic w riters are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Knteric, and
• • forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms. I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
< riln for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
1 lint <an he relied on. They run insensibly into each
•.i her, even the 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 minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
h’ver, treat it at. once as hereafter directed, and you
o'd! he well instead of any distinetcharacter being devel
• pod, so as to be properly mimed by the most scientific,
l iiis assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
f ions or visions of mind, hut on exporiencc at the bed
side ol the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(.by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cuinstaiices, seasons aud climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But 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 the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis’ will he amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
-mall and wiry, witli 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
hilly developed, a little patience will bo required: still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
Tho treatment should be commenced—which may

As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the* must pr<jniu<*nt symptom, the; treatment
differs buo little from that of common fevers. Keineinber
never wail to iuciin the* “name, 1 w hether it is on c>r the
other, or w ither, as they all commence with/ever, hut
treat it at once; govern the fever and there* will he no
trouble; the re will be* bid litth eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make* the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little* or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only rny reputation, hut all that 1 hold most dear:
besides, on t his subject, I have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie* says, page 874:
••You may abate; the force* of the* eruptive lever, and
keep clown, it is believed, the* number of the pustules by
spline* purges. Ac.” Here; is the. admission that it may

been done iii numerous cases that occurred on hoard
ship. See the* account appended.

hut it should Ik* give n and re*pe*ate*d sufficiently to k*e*p
tlw fe*vei under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the* ordinary gargles may he used, and the

not swallow or speak, and he* was cureel by dropping tin*
Fluid on his tongue*, drop hy drop, till lie; could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful closes every hour , till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced boas to enable* him to take nour

The* howels ol course should he attendee! to.
In connc*ction with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. II
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials, hi child-birth, its relaxing and

Fainl'n Ime nstruation will be relieved at once* by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora e*oM taken at a dedicate time, is easily relieved by
its usee; in short, it is one of the most couvemient and
effectual raniedics for many of the ills of females, if not
tin* most, so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the* whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It w ill not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
epiiet the system so that one* can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use in sei many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment tin much a* possible, I give under this head general
directions for all ruses. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will cliaugo the condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it limy be or ought to la- 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 he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld he given while
giving tho “Fluid,” and in connection with it. when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing mere general effect, beside* no unnecessary
lime will then la-lost. As the *, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 cal! nil else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowel* lire costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tin’ first dose, or schiii utter, aud should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diurrluea, give somethiug known to be good for
that complaint, though if cause*! hy irritability, tlie
“ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or 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 ill the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or sonic cooling application, and bathe
the tort iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry aud hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole 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 there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the pnlietit lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to iloHHy good: for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose: when tlie
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” ami a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
a* you would under any ot tier circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed,you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will lie astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant hy
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. 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat Hart les. —Artieles that purge or operate on tin
bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything
known to In* good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything kuown to act outlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of tlie articles depended on by the different schools
for this purtHwe, will answer when used in connection
with tin- “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And mu- may choose calomel—another, blue
moss—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on: each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics. Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots ami hitter herbs. Bone
set or tliorougliwort is one of the best used iu fevers.
Ahl rlngcnts.-Such as chock the action of tho
bowels. Liudanum mid other preparations of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) i* one of the lu st:
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences arc nil more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry iu treating fevers, though many other* are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,’ - -anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than kuown in tho materia me,lieu.
1 shall not tux the reader with a long list of proofs,
dopomling mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the

Wc took passage on the packet.ship Duchess d'Orleans,
Cap! Hutton, then lying in tho port of Havre. France’,
ami bound for New York. Blie sailed on the Util of Au
gust. 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tlie small
1-ox broke out among the emigrants. They were all
treated by tlie physician in charge. Dr. N. \V. Seat, with
anew remedy of hi* own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over the dim-use, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there vvcrenl-out eighty cases of small pox, some lover,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw -luring said passage, we arc fully
convinced that the medicine ascii hy Dr. Seat on the oc

By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re

the public,
Tlie .\ul mill Antidote to Mnlurin,
which neutralizes tlie poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected hy it of its
baneful iiilluciice, and thus restores and preserves
health.’
The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un
known to any hut the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use :
It will instantly cheek the ague iu persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will !*• effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon tin- poison iu the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague discuses, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
(icnernl Debility mul Siiglit Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
l ines. The patient at once begins to rei ver appetite
and strength, and continues to Improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever anil Ague may lie banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue thcii respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to thorn the most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of the CUKE 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 hail 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 been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicinc, Ac.
Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are supernddcil
to tlie poor sufferer's first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may he 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, hut that it is
also
Worthy of Public; Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Knlirc Ilarmlcssness,
Thu following certificate from 011 c of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
New York, dune 11, lkoe.
‘•I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and lntvo tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor imve I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to tlie constitution.
“JAMES U. CHILTON, M. 1).. Chemist.'’
It i, a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work hy
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
tliisi Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed us tlie one
under consideration, if the medicine he taken iu advance.
This is ow ing to the diseases being produced by one and
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves hy the timely use
of this preventive, aud not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
tlie poison before it does harm.
F'ull 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 often be 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
Castor Oil, the object of which is to clcunso tho stomach
and free tlie biliary passages. Bcmember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it MUST re taken
or the operation of tlie antidote will he seriously ob
structed.
Only Cunt ion. —ln certain specifled cases, pour
tlie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in

and also tho air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo
sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
Tins mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are. exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which tins 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, (tlie copyright of which is secured) ami the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely epos its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillas, Pills. Plasters, Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. M.v object iu writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Ural Ute in I'ulmnnary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, l am acting most unprofessionully. and derogu
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. T refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is u scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success tliati any of the usual prescrip
tions used hy Physicians.

tects; better than any other article 1 ever met with. I
would he pleased to have you send me half a dozen l>t

fins preparation has attaint'd a wide celebrity from
tlie universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing iiwer to all irritations of tho throAt.
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive (lowers in proper tone.

of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer

an order to Ames A Ilallidny for another half gross of

and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
lias sold, is because when I have heard of a case 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. and they were all satisfied. I had one ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me oil the sixth day well satisfied.

Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes,—Dear Sir —I cheerfully testify to
tlie value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ *C!I;E BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since 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 a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours trulv,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
whelms been fully cured hy only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all T
can In Its sale. ‘ W. A. lIAYLKS.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of tlie CUKE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
in tlie United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
| feet innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
i the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
I can also say that a great many iff’ my largest eusto
| mers are those who a year ago wore reluctant even to
1 take the Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now tliev
endorse them all. and it will be noticed tlmt tlie letters
of which l publish su li immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
rillaiiy newspaper, and prove the tact of a greater suc-
I cess and safe than everattended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie CrowiiingGlory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during tlie warm and sickly sea
sons, not a num woman or child in the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague.
Bilious or 1 ellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison ‘Malaria, to which tlie
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
1 whose constitutions have been shattered nr weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and (1< -
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
