Ity I lie term fevers, ** I comprehend all febrile alfcctions to which the human lninm is subject. including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they 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 ere distinguished by tin’ same general character istics that ot undue excitement in the circulatory and uei veils systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense* of heat, dryness of the skin. •I* liility. ttr. To allow ttint I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance. I ipiot* 1 from the ccli liraf. i] J’rof. T. Watson, •I Kim* * College, London, whose work on the “ Princi. plea itinl t'lm'tice Os Pliyaic” in a text book in many <>t’ • nir niediriil colleges, mill consequently standant authority.

If encoiimgeH a diH|isitlon, already too prevalent, to pre .dm tor it disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, mat can lie relied on. They run Insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause. - ’ The above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance amt 1 would I,upms on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a ‘‘name;” if you have tever, treat it at mice as hereafter directed, and you will. be well.

I his assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed side of tbe sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by mysell and otiiers) under a great variety of cir ■ timst.anres, seasons and climates. Dear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to iiti/ac, and rest, assured you will soon bo freed from utl dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the “Fluid” is given, cither by neglect, nr under some other treatment, I will describe i briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in all of tile most prominent, fevers, though the “ Itules” and “ Synopsis * will lie amply sufficient for all those aciaistiHiied to attendance upon tin- sick.

To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment. as mnt'h aa possible, l give under this bead general directions for all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may he or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever nr whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent euro. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate iiiciiiis, and those soliuld lie given while giving tlie •• Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they w ill then more readily act. producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then lie lost. As the •,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 call ail else auxiliary treatment.

East or West, they all equally spring from the same iiiiuximil cause. The great variety of symptoms and forinsol disi-aseis owing principally to difference ill age, sex, constitution ami habits of (lie sufferers; but as the cause is llie sam*-, they will ail equally yield ton remedy that is coui|*ctcut In overcome or remove that cause. Ity the laws ol Nature, every principle lias its opposile, and foi every disease, or cause of disease, there in a re agent, or in “I her words a specific remedy. All Malaria, wbother arising from .Marshes, Stagnant water, dcciimpo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even new l.v clearril lands, is llie same ill character and effect; i> a poi son iloating in llie atmosphere, causing disease to ull who breutheit. In acci.ldniiee vvitli those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tlie preparation before us, offered to llm public, The Animal Antidote to Muluriu, w liieli neutralizes the poison whenever it conics in con tact with n. cu ll in tlm open air, and when taken inter nally i.'iiipli'lelv purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influent c. and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is be lie veil to be entirely new, and un known to any lint the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly cheek the ague in persons who have suffered tor any length of time, from oue day to twenty years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc tions, u radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from thccoiiiplnliitforever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon the poison in tlie system, it will immediately relieve ail the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debilily and Silglit Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other niede fines. The patient at once begins to rei ver appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect heatlll. By ils use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, mid all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of tin: CUIIE in every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved those 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 tin most candid minds, because all tlie resources of science hud been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wlmt 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, Falicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when sueli remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded to the poor sufferer’s first 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 bo taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely ujioii destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public OoiilWleiicc, Because of its Singular ami Entire IlannlesHlicss, Tho following certificate from one of tlio most celebrated chemists pi tlie United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle : New York, June 11, 1855. -1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever anil Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have Ifound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES it. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.’.’ It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing tlie taking of other medicines w hich do harm. Tho entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not move valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed ns tlie one under consideration, if tlie medieine be taken in advance. This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one anl tho sumo cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tlie Cure as a preventive, and 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 be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tlie very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costive ness, it must bl takkn or the operation of the antidote will bo seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air watted across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after tin! liquid is evaporated, will counteract auil destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie 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 Auub Cure” blown in tlio glass, and ou the outside wrapper is tlie name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

I would bo pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot tle* by tlie bearer. Respectfully, AA - . M. Mason. M. D. This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from tho univ ersal success which lias attended its use. For coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints, this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent ami its soothing power to all irritations of the throat, will probably lie 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 tlie digestive powers in proper tone. Remember that this is tbe only Cough Medicine that has stood the test of tfie medical fraternity. It is sanc tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading Physicians ot New York city. Every bottle is warranted to give satisfaction or the money refunded. AA'e guaran tee it to lie letter than nnv Cherry Pectoral.

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 iu the family of a clergyman here has 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 lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until lie got n bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours trulv, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly ns possible into every town and village in the- United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R.Chilton, of Now York, certifies to its pei'- sect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have ihe 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 lie realised. Now they endorse them all, anil it will be noticed that tlie letters of which I publish su di immense quantities arc always new anil late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove tlie tact of a greater suc cess anil sale than everatteiideil any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use ns n 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 have a single attack of Fever and Ague. Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a je’rfecl antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whoso constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sw eats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
