other reasons might be added, but these are deemed
tufticieiit to satisfy all classes and persons in all modi
(ions of life.
The above reasons ar • more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the tirst attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject

•o th* nat ll re of the case at tbe time it is first adminis

this remedy gives so proiript, effoctual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary eases, w hen used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
t little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed oft with
out any filing—that medicine had no effect.” The general
iinpression on the subject Os fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the nihove follow the run* of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
i he individual lias witnessed many canes that he can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very I rifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must

He mark* on Fevers In General*
On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Jly the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar const it utions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
y< i all ur<*distinguished hy the same general character
istics—-that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
uei voiis systems —inducing more or less un until raj fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I
• dvance, 1 quote from the celebrated Frol. T. Watson,
••I King s College, London, whoso Work on the *• Princi
ples and Practice of Physic.” is a textbook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthorit'/.
on page KIU, he says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, ditlerent species of lever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
A* And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever. Ataxic, Adynamic, (hwtro-Knteric, and
forth Now. admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, i am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub division, is had and hurtful. 11
io mirages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
lint* of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
rhat *an be relied on. They run insensibly into each
flier. veil the most dissimilar of them, and are often
tiaccable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would ini firms on your mi mis the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;' 1 if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will tut well instead of any distinct character being devel
oped. so as to be properly named by the most scientific,
i bis assertion is no hypothofllg based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the Ik'J
*idy of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of eases
{tty myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstauces, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and 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 tin* 44 Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies”
aud “Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

which they may feel more or less interested, but he left

As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small aud wiry, with a general great depression, there is
mi practical use in separating them—at least so far as
hiv treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required: still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should lie commenced—vvhieh may
immediately follow any other without detriment— with

boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated ;us
I direct, will he cut short; attended with hut little erup
tion: little or no pitting, and that there is no urrrssU// of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, hut all that I hold most dear:
besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that, of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page N74 :
*• Voij may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and

In conucctiou with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the Indies, will save them much pain and suffering. It

Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as mdcli as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may he or ought to he called, it should he given
w herever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld he 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 he lost. As the *, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the tirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate iu due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local
pain or inllnmmation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tlio feet iti hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot. with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an ugri -able temperature;
“the saline wash,"’ vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief ami -Ad the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there writhe no trou
ble; il the 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 the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must tie
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do nay good: for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm w ater, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic it’
necessary; ill short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time ns directed, and success will
crown your efforts.; indeed, you cannot realize it till you

thirties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics. Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about wluit is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by
all. I will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat liarttois.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, sueli as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious. Ae.: anything
known to bo good forsuch purposes.
Itepntics.—Anything known to act outlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
w ith tin* “ Fluid ‘ or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—smellier, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; ouch may take Ids choice and lie suc
cessful.
Tonies.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bour
nes or thorough wort is oue of the best used in lovers
Astringent*. Such ns clic k the action ~f'the

used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tin
system. Capsicum (Cayenne |iep|>er) is one of tin- best •
ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Ac., tlio essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better dia

Since tlie introduction of the CUKE in every part of
tbe United 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
introriiictkm, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the ’most candid minds, because all the resources of
science hud been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and wluit was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether seientilic or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, .Mercury, Sulicinc, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
tcnqiorury relief, their poisonous effects .ire superudded
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 tbe makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upou destructive poisons.

Because of its
.Singular and Knl ice Ilnriiilc.ssiic.ss,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in tlio United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to evory bottle :
Xkw Yoiik, June 11, 1b,15.
“1 have made a chemical examination of lUiodes’ 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 J found
any substance in its composition tlmt would prove inju

“JAMES it. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It i- a stubborn fact, therefore, that this ltcmcdy 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 do harm.
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 tlie one
under consideration, if the medicine be 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 Hie poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, aud so destroy
the 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. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and lice the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must in: taken
or the operation of tlie antidote w ill be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —In certain specified cases, pour
till- 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, after the liquid is evaporated, w ill counteract
aud destroy, to a degieo commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlie 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, *• Khopes’ Fever and Aovjs Ovue” blow n in tlie

RECOMMEND ATIONS.
New Orleans. April 9. 1816.
Dear Sir—Tlie public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies lor Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters. Liniments. Ac, that are
daily brought to tlieir notice through the newspapersby
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least llmso
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
lleid I'm in / V imaiary JhmasrA. I uni conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessionally. and deroga
torily to tlio interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is n scientific remedy that I have
n*cd with more success tlinn any of tile usual prescrip
tion* used by Physicians.

O. lb \t oojiman—Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial aud am well pleased with its of.
tects; better than uny other article I ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send un- half a dozen Isd
lles by the 1 tourer. Respectfully.

This ‘preparation bus attained a w ide celebrity from
tlie universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaint*.
Dirtffieniciue, from its peculiar properties as a dissolTi ut
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
w ill probably lie preferred to any other offered to tile
public. A* un appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be toil ml excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is tile only Cough Medicine that
lias stood the test of,he medical fraternity, it is sanc
tioned by. approved of, aud recommended by the lcadiug
Physicians ot New Y'ork city. Everv Kittle is warranted
to give satislaetion or tbe money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better thau auy Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver

of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer- ]
curp nor Strychnine, aud having received numerous ap

riably been cured by it, and to whom l can refer. I am,
therefore, satisfied ill recommending il to In’ all that

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1851.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir-—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady \
in the family ofa 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 I Kittle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours trulv,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice

Your Ague Cure has 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 everybody. T shall do all 1
can in its sale. ’ W. A.HAYLES.
If any laxly desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CUKE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
I in tlie United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent cliem-
I ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
i feet innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
| the Fever and Ague or not, just ns they please.
lean 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 the letters
of which 1 publish su li 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 ami sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlio 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 Hie warm mid sickly Sea
sons, nut a man woman or child in flu* United .States
would ever have a single attack of Fever ami Ague.
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Uure is a perfect uutidoh.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been siiattcred nr weakened by
Agile or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
