a dear friend in sick.

Oth.— Kconomy of Life. —Ah thin tiro i* effected

removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reaHonn might be added, but their are deemed

The above reaHotiH are more particularly applicable In

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.

If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated

first portion ; they must he opened or the fever mwv rise

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

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.

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*. Kiuffi iis castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, aud many pills, untibi Hulls. A. : anything
known to be good for Kuril purposes,
Hepotlc*.— Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generallv.
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.
Tonics. -Articles thatgive tone or strength, such
ns quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs, 1f0n,..
set or thorough wort is one of the lies! used in fevers.’
Astrlngents.-Buiii as check the action of the
bowels, baiidanumnud other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the i ffeet.
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.

We took passage ou the packetship Duchess d’Orleans,
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. Franco,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au

emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small

During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox.'some fever,

which neutralizes the |Hjison whenever it conns in con
tact with it, even in tlie open air, aud when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it oi its
baneful influence, aud thus restores and preserves
health.
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.

every family and class in the community; farmers, me

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. These
will he considered sufficient.

J. S. PEMBERTON CO.,
HAVE received the appointment from the proprietor
. for the sole agency of
Woodman's Cherry Expectorant,
the medicine that has created such an excitement at the
North among tho Physicians, and has been pronounced
by all who have used it us being far superior to any
('berry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jcsuminc,
the pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than any
other Cough Medicine in this country.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Orleans, April 9, 1850.
Beal’ Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Luugs, under the titles
ofSnrsaparilhis, Pills. Plasters, Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to tisc one that contains articles of
Iteat Vst iu Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most tiiiprofcssiimully.and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mediciue. 1 refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success tliau any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

_ O. G. Woodman— Dear Sir; l have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial aud am well pleased with its ef
fects; bettor than uuy other article 1 ever met with. I
would he pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
\V. M. Jlason. M. D.
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. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to bo better than any Oherrv Pectoral. Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant. ’

Hames A. f tiioeEs, Esq.—Dear Sir: —I have just sent
an order to Ames & lhtllidtiy for another half gross of
your Feverand AguoCure. It lias sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
lias sold, is because when l have heard of a ease ol'Ague
or Chill Fever, J have sent a bottle and ield them to try
it. and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the naan came
to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied.

Cure of Panama. Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the 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 1 have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing yjur uiidicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,

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.

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 every indy. ! shall do all I
chu in its sale. ‘ IV. A. 11AYIJOS.
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.
