Ap And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gaatro-Euteric, and so lortli. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is laid and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe fur a disease according to its nurne. Them is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, iliat can lie relied on. Thoy run insensibly into eacli other, even the most dissimilar of them, ami are ppfteii traceable to tile same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and i would impress on your minds tlie lolly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any dlstinctcharacter being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by tlie most acientifle. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of tin- sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates.

It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth ami quiet tho system so that cm- can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use iu so many eases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. Asthc Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may lie or ought to he 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 lie removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they .should he appropriate means, and those sohuld he given while giving tlie “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 then be lost.

By the laws ol Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or iu other words a s[ieeillc remedy.

Since the introduction ol the CUBE in every part of die United States, its success has been SO complete and unvarying as to have fully proved litese assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. Wild! these declarations wore made, at the date of its introduction, lliey Seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because till the resources of scleiice had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all tlicir remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. Tho effects of those are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded to the poor sufferer's tirst complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be 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 Kentedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is also Wortliy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Kntirc Hai'inlcstmcss, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists ut the United States lias been obtained, and a copy otitis attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. ••J have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fevei anil Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, hut have not found a particle of either iu it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tho constitution. “JAMES li. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve die human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines w hich do harm. Tlie entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed us die one under consideration, if die medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one an! tlm same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, nud uot wait for die poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, ami so destroy tlie 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 accompany each bottle. It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi cine liy a mild cathartic or antihilions purgative. Tlie very best, tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, die object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where tills is necessary, or there is costive ness, it mist re taken or tho operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution,— ln certain specified cases, pour tin* conteuts of one or more bottles of die 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 tlie dregs of it, alter the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in die apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. ‘l’he bottles in w hich this medicine is put up have die words, -liuoiiEs - Fever and Auie Cure” blown in die glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tlie proprietor.

Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that lias stcssl the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc tioned by, approved of, aud recommended by the leading Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted to give satisfaction or the money ref unded. We guarau tee it to be lietter than any Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver Oil. or anything else now extant. 4ES-Price—One Dollar a Bottle. J. S. PEMBERTON A 00., Columbus, Gu.. Onlv agents for this county. February 6.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of tbe benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until 1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health.

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 tlie family of a clergyman here lias been taking an •• AGUE BALSAM -- for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Curo 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.

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 I can in its sale. ‘w. A.IIAYLES. If any laxly desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United states, Canadas, Ac. 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 bo realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will lie noticed that tho letters ol which 1 publish su ii immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than tillany newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than overuttendeduny other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory Oi Ihe 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 man woman or child in the United States would ever liavo a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tin- atmospheric poison ‘Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidvb. It is also unequalled for quick anil permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life mid strength to all whose constitutions have been shuttered or weakened liy Ague or Bilious diseases, niglit sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
