By the lerm “fevers,” I Comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox .tnd other eruptive fevers; hut as tin y arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general cluiracter isticM—that oi undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skill, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I uivancc. I quote from the celebrated i’rof. T. Watson, ot King's College, London, whose work on the “ I'rinci pies ami Practice of Physic” is u text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthorily.

Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, I’utrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic w riters are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-Enterio, and -o torth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that, the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre -i ribe 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 the most dissimilar of them, and are often Irneeahlo to the same cause.” The above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance xml I would impress on your mimlß the folly of bunting op or troubling yourself about a “ name;’’ if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, mid you mV /*• mil instead of any distinetcharaetur being devel oped, so us to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed ddo of the sick, In hundreds, aye, thousands of eases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at oncq without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as rases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, cither by neglect, or under some other treatment, l will describe xs briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of tlio most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so us to occasion a restlessness after tile lever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wme, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or Home other stimulant; or the face and breast may lie bathed iu cold water: either of which will give immediate relief.

Where tile fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teospoonaful may be given at tirst with advantage, and even repeated In two hours—if it—the pulse—hits not been softened, ttin's showing the medieine has taken effect.

Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As those fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, Ireing all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a geueral groat depression, there is no practical use iu separatiug them—at least so far as ni.v treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will he necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commeuced—which may immediately follow auy other without dutrimeut—with a teaspounful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger iu volume, then to be continued one* in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In bud cases, from three to five grains each of quinine and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should lie added to each dose. The bowels should be kept gently open, and email portions of some liejuUic should lie given occasionally, even though the Imwels should be very hxwe. The patient should lie sustained by nourishing and mucilagenoux drinks—such as arc in common use in such eases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will lie found advantageous.

Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scoria linn; nr Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and .Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Kemember never wait to learn the “name,'’ whether it is one or the other, or m ilker, as they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will be but tilth erujitian even in small pox. This, tu 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 i*s I direct, will be cat short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, und that there is no necessity ol’ its running its ordinary course. Oh this I will stake not only lev reputation, lint all that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, I huve good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. Ilu says, page 874: “ Vou may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number oj the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but lias bent done ill numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. (live a toaspisinful or more, according to tin- urgency oi the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feveraub sidcs—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should Is’ given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. W hen the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. 11l one case, on the ship Duchess d'Orleaus, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient i mild not swallow or speuk. and lie was cured by dropping tile Fluid on bis tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, w licii it was given iu tcuspoonfu! doses every hour , till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enaldi: him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone,— Usi'il to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. I’m rpci-nl or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, ax to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a ti'iispoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re peated as long as the I'uver continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection 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. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— I’aiiifnl menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring, ltcstlessness, nervous irritability, or u cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is oue of the most convenient and cfl'octuai remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and irilability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It w ill not force sleep like opiates, but it. will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use in so many cases. Syuiipsls. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as tii it.'ll as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric, Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may he or ought to lie called, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must lie removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should he appropriate means, and these soliuld he 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 time will tin'll be lost. As the *, Fluid” alone will sub due tho fever, 1 cull all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels aro costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or intlanimatioii, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tho 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 or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar und water or spirits and water, either w ill afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tollies and stimulants, particularly iu low fevers, in absence of fever or w hen indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea mid vomiting, that must he allayed Ix'fore any medicine will remain on tho stomach to do any goad; lor this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at the same time us directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you huve seeu. and theu you will ho astonished at the ease with which you can control all fubrile excitement.

The great variety ot symptoms ami forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as tlie cause is the same, they will all equally yield ton remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or lu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, stagnant water. decomjsi sitiou of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with thoso unalterable laws ! governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op i isisites, there is in tiie preparation before ns, offered to I the public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Jlnlm-ia, which neutralizes the jsiison whenever it conus in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and tints restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly cheek the ague in persons who huve suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and hy continuing its use, according to tho direc tions, a radical cure will he effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. lu its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from | every family and class in tlie community; farmers, mc j clmnics, and all laboring people may be using this arti ! clo as a Preventive, , And pursue tlieir respective avocations in perfect safety ! from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of tho CUBE iu every part of tho 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 iucrodiblc to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources of science had 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, Salicine, Ac. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, aud when such remedies fail, or give only tcm|Mirary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superaddod to the poor sufferer's first complaint. On Ibis account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using uny secret Fever aud Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may lie taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known tliut tlieir potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the ltemcdy 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 Ilariuiessnesa, Tho following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in tho United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1866. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever und Ague (Jure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested it. tor Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine anil Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance iu its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES it. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, tliut this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malurious diseases, but to do au equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which doliarm. Tile entire absence of auy baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, tliau it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advuucc. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an J Hie same cause, and therefore ail, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait fur tlie laiison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tho Cure as u preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet aud habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany eucli bottle. It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil. the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and tree the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must betaken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.— ln certain specified eases, pour tlie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (diniug plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tlie air waited across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiec commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlie apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the words, “It hopes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tlie glass, und on the outside wrapper is the name of tlie mediciuc, (tlie copyright of which is secured) anil the signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, whereTer introduced afld used. These will lie considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by the proprietor. JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. I. For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS * CO., February 10, 185 ti. ly Druggists.

I'LYMOU‘fH, ltichland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. .1. A. I!HODts, —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 an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per lmincut 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 truly, Ilev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from n Physician. Mo.NTICKI.LO, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours. IV. G. SPENCER. lyOClsviLLK No. 11, C. It. It.. Ga., dan. 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. I shall do all 1 can in its sale. IV. A. 11AVI.KS. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CUBE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. l)r. and. 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. 1 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 h 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 uttended any other Ague Remedy. The CroxvningGlory 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, Bilious 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 for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened hy Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
