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.

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 Immediately follow any other without detriment—witii a teaspoon ful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till tlie pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be coutiuued one* iu six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.

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.

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.

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 Pnckelsltip Duchess D’Orlenng. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates; \Vc, tlie undersigned, certify to the following, viz— Wc took passage on the packet.ship Duchess d'Orleans, Cap!

I here i-iu the preparation before us, offered to 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.

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.

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.
