NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared liy N. W. Seal, M. I>. why it should be used instead of any other treat ment in all Kehrile affections: 1 at.—Economy of Time. —As only entemecenth of the ordinary time is required to effect a cun l . ■til—Kroiitini) of Money.— As it costs hot one dollar. 3rd.— Economy of Errling—As it saves the su tiering of a Unite Sickness and the consentient treat* moot; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, anti the pain of long eonlineiiient; hut little of the fluid being ne. ensury, ami that pleasant in its effects. Ith. Krunomy of Thought.—As when known, it will remove all dreatl and anxiety at present etlstiug, respecting febrile affections; particularly w hile a dear friend is sick. Economy of Health.—As tin-system is not reduced, anil consequently rucked: nor is the fever subject to l>e followed liy chronic disease. til h.—Economy of I. We,—As the cure iaeffected before and without reducing tile patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. S Other reasons might Ist tuldud, but these art deemed suflleieut to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the flrst attack. Imt will apply with 01)11111 force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course •u the nature of the case at the time it. Is flrst niltnlnls tered As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual mid jmrtou to iit relief, in all ordinary eases, when useil sism after the attack, persons can scarcely realise that they had been really much sick, anil very naturally conclude tin y were not attacked witli fever, and if so, “it was trifling a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of rnusßtjneitce —It would have passed oil with out any thing—that medicine had noeffoct.” The general impression on the gutycct of fever is such, that thoughts nut unlike tint (above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual ha* witnessed many eases that lie can fully real lie 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 been thus successful ill perhaps hundreds of cases, must expert that there will cases occur where there Is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though successful in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the •• Klnltl” pusses off', as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.'’ Kcmnrks on Fevers in General* tin this subject l wish to he fully understood. Ity the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile iiflertioas In which the human frame is subject, including small jinx and other eruptive fevers; Imt us they arise by a great YHiicly of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety id’ forms or types; yet all arc distinguished by the same general cliaineter iitics—that ol undue excitement in tin- circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in tlie pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility. Ac. To allow tlmt 1 am not w holly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the cclebrafod I’rof. T. Watson, ol King's College, hoitdon, whose work on the “ I’linci pies anil Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently sUnulanlaullwrity. iln page 834. he says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. by tlic public, Typhus Fever, brain lever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, l,ow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the fulias particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-Kntcric, and so forth. Now, admitting Dial fevor shows Itself under various forms, I uni persuaded that the effort upon the mind of all this Hub-division, is h;ul and hurtful, it encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, lo pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, tbut can be relied on. They run insensibly into each oilier, even tins most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great Oust, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the felly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a ••mum;'’ if you Imve fever, treat it at once its hereafter directed, and you will he. well instead of any distinctchuraetcr being devel oped, so as to Ire 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 side of (lie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases iliy myself and others) under a great variety of eir riimstiineos, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, und treat ut once witlmut regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all ilread of linger ing and dangerous fevers, lfut as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly us possible the proper course to be pursued in all of tlie most prominent fevers, though the “ lluies” and “Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for nil these accustomed to attendance upon tlie sick.

It inust lie continued whenever tlie fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to lie resumed when it begins to rise again, should such lie tlie case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must he left perfect ly quiet; free from all excitement; should not he questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their man natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu which they may feel more or less interested, hut be left quiet to all intents and purposes. fttli. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as tlie patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. dtli. Should patients experience any oppression or taiutnom while in the lying posture, sons to occasion a restlessness after the lever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wiue, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and hreast may he bathed ill cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom s teaspoon fill is a common dose. Old persons do not isquire ns much as young, or those in tlie prime of life: nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children —-those of ten years of age frequently having taken toll doses ; but for a little guide, I have given the above table, with tlie remark that, as a general rule, liildrcu require more than adults in proportion. Hy obsevviug tlie above directions, tlie medicine will be iouud agreeable in all of its effects, tlie expectations ot tlie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Unions or ltemtttent Fever. Hive a teasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the w hole treatment iu all simple cases of fever, with sueh observances as are set forth in the “Rules.” But should there lie prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to ut once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. It in any case tlie bowels ire particularly constipated i confined, give a cat Its ill, (see auxiliaries) with the flrst portion ; they must he opened or tlie fever may rise again. Where the fever Is very high, pulse running 110 nr upwards, and tlie patient is not particularly susceptible to tlie influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teuspoonsfiil may lie given at first with advantage, aud even repeated iu two hours—if it—tlie pulse—has not been sollenetl. thus allowing tlie medicine bus taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much iu taking effect. Congestive Fever. Clive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full aud soft, then only a tea spoonful, to Ik’ discontinued us the fever subside*. As tlie bowels are generally ooutiued, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicluo to operate in tills disease, no I ime should It l lost to get them open, give some active cathartic witli tlie “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary till it Operates: euemas (injections) may also he used to advantage: also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or ffannei: also, cold applications to tlie head. Quinine may lie added to the *• Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Fillip and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are ull of oue character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grado, the pulse small aud wiry, with a general great depressiou, there is no practical use in separating them—ut least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patiouco will bo required; still comparatively little, as they frequently rim weeks under the common treatment, while with this Imt a few days will bo necessary ut longest to establish ii permanent convalescence. The treatment should be couimeiired—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teas|)<>oiifiil of “ Fluid” every’ two hours, till tlie pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued ouce in sis or eight hours till the saver entirely aulsiiiies. In bad caves, from three to five grains each of quinine and ap*icuiii( Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see tu xiliariea) should lie added to each dins-. The bowels she.uld be kept gently open, aud small portions of some I . sqsPu; should lie given occasionally, even though tin. IWwels should lie very loose. The patient should la* sustained by nourishing and nmcilageiimis drinks—-♦ueh as are in common use in such cases.— IVllsro (lie skin is very dry,sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will lie found advantageous.

In connection with tills subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded hy the ladies, will save them much juiiii and suffering. It is to inform Ilium of tlie happy effect of Hie Fluid in many of their trials.

Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; ill short, it is oue of the most convenient and effectual remedies l'ur many of I lie ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well its Hie circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth aud quiet tlio system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use in so many ease-. Synopsis, To uvoid constant repetition, and condense Hie treat ment as much as jiossihlc, 1 give under this head general directions for ull 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 lie or ought to lie called, it should la* given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control nil organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he romftvcil in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be Hjqiropriate means, and these soli old he given while giving tile “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 tlie lever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels tuo costive, give a -cathartic (see auxili aries) witli the first dose, or mm alter, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended w ith dlarrhu'a, give something known to lie good for that coinjihiint, though if caused hy irritability, tin* “Fluid” will soon roliove that condition; if sovoro local pain or inflammation, apjdy some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, portraits, cloths wet iu cold water, to the jiart; if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlie feet in Hot water; if the lever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or butlio the whole surface with water at an agreeable temjieratnre; “the saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in Diking effect, after which there will be no trou ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence ol’ 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 nay goad; for this jmrposo 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if given jdentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the •* Fluid “ and a cathartic if necessary ; iu short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms us you would under any other circumstances, giving the ** Fluid” at tin* same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will bo astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement.

By the law* of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other word* a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effort: is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho breathe it. Iu accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring uflinity subsisting between op posites, there i* iu the preparation before us, offered t the public, Til© .Natural Antidote to Mulariu, which nciilraliy.es the jioiHon whenever it conics in con tact with it. even in tin* open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected hy it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the fallowing extraordinary results from its use : If will instantly check the ague in pertous who have suffered for any length of time, froth one day to twenty years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin uing free from she complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison in tho 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 Niglit Sweats which so often follow the administration of other mcdc cincs. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By ils use Fever and Ague may lie banished from every family and class in the community: farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Prevent i vi> 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 the CUBIC in every part of the Uiiited 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 introduct ion, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources < f science had been taxed iu 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 a* Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, fcutlicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease tin y subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to the poor sufferers first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should he 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 Jiemedy is not only valuable on account ol* its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Kntirr Harmlessncss, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists ;u the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evciy bottle: New York, June 11, 1555. *•1 have made a chemical examination 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 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. -JAMES It. CHILTON, M. I>., Chemist.” It ii a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is ns a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine bo taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an l the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and 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 the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished riiysician 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 autibilious 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 free the biliary passages. Remember that where tills is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution* —In certain specified cases, poui the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure iuto 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 tho dregs of it, alter the liquid is evaporated, will counteract ami destroy, to a degiee commensurate w ith its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, ••Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure’’ blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely lion its actual MERITS, wherever introduced and used.

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 l 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. Wishing y.iur medicine tlie success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. 1. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of pulling medicines, but desire to say. for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sliarpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Jimnsbtrro, Met. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth. Richland Cos., Ohio, Sejit. 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 the Cure and lias 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. Unsolicited Evidence from a Pliysician. Monticfj.lo, Ind., Atig, 27, 1855. J. A.

A.HAYLES. if any body 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. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies Lo its jier fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever ami 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 be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will lie noticed that the letters of which I publish sn h immense quantities are always new and late dates —altogether they would more than lillany newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie 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, nut 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 perfect antiilotc. it is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shuttered or weakened In Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
