The above reaHotiH are more particularly applicable In the immediate treatment mi tint first attack, Inti will apply with ci|ual force locbhch which have been uhjeet ed to or have become reduced, corresponding ol course ‘ii the nature of the cate at the time it in tint adminis tired. Ah thin remedy gives ho prompt, effectual and penna ti.-iit relief, in all ordinary ciihch, when used hihih after the attack, persona can scarcely realize that they had Imen really much sick, and very naturally conclude they were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling a little cold, which gave alarm—lt could have been nothing of canaequeuce—it would have passed oft with out anything—that medicine hail no effect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case naturally us men think at all; and it is not until l lie individual tins witnessed many coses that lie cull fully i rnlhsa the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have liven thus MiecmKful in perhaps hundreds of casch, must • vpect that there will ruses occur where there is some organic or local cause so great iih to require particular attention, or though successful in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes ■ iff, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that i have given vud frequently refer tu what 1 have ealied a “ synopsis.” Keniarlfa on Fevers in General* on this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. Jly the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut 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 are distinguished by the smile general rhnriuter isties—that of 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, lehllily, Ac. To show that 1 am not w holly alone in the opinion l advance. I quote from the celebrated l'ret. T. Watson, of King's College, Condon, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of • .nr medical colleges, and consequently stemdani'authority. ihi page s;i4, he says : —“We hear continually, both in aud out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. lly the public. Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, liiliiius Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (iiistro-Knterie, and to forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all thin sub-division, is bud and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that cun lie relied on. They run insensibly into each hi her, even the must dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds the felly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you mill be well instead of any distinctcharueter being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed side of the siek, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (.••y myself and others) under a great variety of cir eumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, aud 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, cither by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible tins proper course to be pursued in all of tbe most prominent fevers, though the” Itules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those neeiisUimed to attendance upon the sick. tfulfii important to be bsererd in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always be free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. a<l. It must lie continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off'; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, slumlil such be the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not lie questioned as to their wants or feedings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or apeak; nor should any conversation ho aliowedin their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but lie left quiet to nil intents and purposes. Oth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it ns plentifully, and ns long us the patient desires and no longer; they may constat of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either enld or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. •dh. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying mature, sous to occasion a restlessness after the fever bus passed off, or enough to *M-elision thorn to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little ipirit. ginger, or some other stimulant; or the fare and breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABIiK OF BOSKS. For children of one year or under, from ;i to s drops. •• over 1 and under A years, “ Stole ” - “ 6 “ •• 12 to 30 “ “ 8 “ 10 “ “ ‘4O to bO “ ” s “ la Iml l’ to a teaspoon fill. All persons over tiltccn considered as adults, for whom a tcaspoouful is u common dose. Old persons do not require as much ils young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much us males. Thule It no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the atiove table, with tile remark that, as a general rule. ■ liiltlrcn require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations “f the most sanguine realized, aud mauy perfectly astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that the full benefitof the medicine may be obtained, and not on ac count of any actual necessity id’ such strict ob servances. lllUoiin or Remittent Fever. •live a teaspouful of “ Fluid” (mm* rule Ist) mn in iwo hours, till the fever is evidently passing off: this ’ onstitutes the whole treatment in all simple eases of lever, with sueh observances its are set forth in the “ Itules.” But should there be prominent local syinp touis, or known local existing causes, they should he attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated .i confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must he opened or the fever mwv rise again. Where the 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 teaspoouslul may he given at first with advantage, and even repeated iu two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been sv/ttnui, thus showing the medicine has taken affect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much iu taking effect. Congestive Fever, tine two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoonful, to lie discontinued as the fever subsides. As tire ism els are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult, to get medicine to operate in till* disease, no time should he lost to get them open, give some active . it hart ic with the “ Fluid” ami repeat us may he neces sary till it operates: enemas (injections) tuny also he used to advantage: also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel: nlso, cold applications to the head. Quinine may he added to the •• Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. N’ervoim Fever. Typhus, Ship mid Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are nil of one character, differing mainly iu degree, being ii.ll of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as iny treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patienco will he required; still < miparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will tie necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced —which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with ateaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued once Iu six or eight hours till the fever entirely subside. In had cases, from three to live grains each of i/uinine. and ea/isn itin (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be. added to each dose. The bowels should be kept gently ol'ii. and small portimi ol sonic Jap die should lie given occasionally, even though the IHwels should be very loose. The patient should lie sustained by nourishing and niueilageiioiis drinks—stu b as are in common use in such rase*. — Where the skin is very dry, s|miiging the surface as di reeled in bilious fever, will be found advantngi Tollies should lie used during convalescence, iu nil cases which have InTome reduced.

The Isincsel lea should be given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mu staid plaster, or soiffethiug ol tin: kind, to lie applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, lliilicnla and .Scarla tina) or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all ol Ho c diseases lire attended with level, which in fact is tbe most prominent symptom, the treatment differs lute little from that ol conimon fevers. Remember never wait to loam the “nan ic,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with Jeter, blit Ileal it at once; govern the fever and there will he no trouble; there will b a but. tilth eruption even iu stinill pox. This, to most minds, is anew. idea, aud dotlli!less will In; regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, Hint, small pox, if treated as I direct, unit In cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessilg of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, but all that i bold most dear; besides, mi Ibis subject, ( have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page t>74; •• You limy abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, il is believed, the number / tin; pustules by spline purges. Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I nave, not only proven it mug be, bat has been done in numerous eases that occurred cn hoard ship. Fee the account appended. (iive a teaipouiil'ul or more, according to the urgency of the case, w ith a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tins Fluid oner in two hours if necessary, until the fevertiub sides—though one or twit doses is generally sufficient; but it. should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tins ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, us thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchessd'Orleans, the longue mid fattens were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured bv dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given iu tcaspoouful doses every hour, tiil all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in nlHiiit. twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle iu all sueheuses. Hue i jiei n I or Childbed Fever. This heretofore, painful, dangerous and alarming innhidy to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re peated as long as the saver continues, as in ether eases. The bow els 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. I t is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in manyoftheir trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains ami difficulties; it must tie tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation w ill lie relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Kestlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at adclicate time, is easily relieved by its use ; in short, it is one of the most convenient anil effectual 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 iinil iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth mill quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally nod healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give tinder this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tho condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may he or ought to bo culled, it should lie given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be e-x ----peeted to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect n permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soliuid tie 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 then be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub due tlio fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho tirst 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 by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liuimont, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part: it violent, pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and batlio the foot in hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at ail agreeable temperature: “the saline wash,” vinegar and 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 tin’ patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tlie patient has become re duced: if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any goad ; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every puiqsise; when the stomach bits settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; iu short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the 11 Fluid” at tlie same time as directed, and success will crow n your efforts; indeed, you eumiot realize it till you have seen, ami then you will lie astonished at the ease with which you can control till febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a lons to know vvliat is meant by cut,hartics, Ac., as physicians ure usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name u lew of tho different articles es no di cine 1 have referred to, viz,:— Cat hart If.s.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowel*.

Any of the articles depended on by the different sellouts lor this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, pedophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and It* suc cessful.

Stimulants.— Articles that tabic or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of the best ; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a hotter - dia phoretic,*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “rolaxaht” and “sedative” than known iu the materia medico. I shall not tax the reaifer with a long list of proofs, dope tiding mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Packet ship Duchess D'Orleans. which entrant he classed among ordinary certificates; ‘Ve, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz— We took passage ou the packetship Duchess d’Orleans, Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre.

The remedy is believed to be 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 BUtiered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by eoutinning its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will Ih> 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 the poison in the system, it will immediately relievo 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 unci .Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede cines. Tlie patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. lly its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, aud all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue tlieir respective avocations in perfect safety front ague nr bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tin* most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CUKE in every part of the United States, its success lias 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 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 boon limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such its Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these arc sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, ami when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, tlieir poisonous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever ami Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be 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, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Ilannlessncss, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle ; New York, June 11, 1555. “1 have made a chemical exam illation of Rhodes’ Fever and 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 I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES U. 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 the taking of other medicines which doharin. The 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 as the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents ami travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and 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. Full directions and advice us to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. H will often be found necessary to precede Ibis medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tho very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is eostiveness, it must re taken or tbe operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only C nut ion. —lll certain specified case.-, 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 wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, alter tho liquid is evaporated, “ill counteract tunl destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or peisott contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to “hell very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles iu which this medicine is put up have tho words, -Rhodes’ Fever and Am i; Cure” blown in the glass, and ou tho outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precaution* are taken to prevent eountcYfcits and imitations. TUE RELIANCE FOR ITS SUCCESS IS’ ENTIRELY UPON ITS actual merits, wherever introduced and used.

This preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from the universal success which has attended its use. For coughs, cohls, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints, this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent and its soothing power to all irritations of the 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 powers iu proper tone. Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc tioned by, approved of, and recommended hy the leading Physicians ot New York city.

It lias sold like “ Hot Cakes,” and I have only two bottles on hand.

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 1 have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health.

Plymouth, liichland Cos., Ohio, Fopt. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —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 months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of tlie Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until ho got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Kvidencc from a Physician.

If any body desires further evidences, they will find il iu every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the I nited Mates, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R.Chilton, of Now York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever aud 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 tho letters of which I publish su Ii immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the tact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever uttended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory 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 aud permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
