other reasons might be added, but these are deemed

The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases w hich have been subject

As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma

wars not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of c.eiscquiiiice—it would have passed off with

impression on the subject of lever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case

leulise the truth; and even then he may conclmb- them

sgainat disappointment in such cases that I have given

ftrinnrka on Fevers in (leneral
iln this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. liy the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and oilier eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development uiel exhibit a variety of forms or types;
tel all are distinguished liy the same general character
istics—that of undue excitement fn the circulatory and
nervous systems —Inducing more or less unnutunil fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tie-skill,
debility, Ac.
To show tlint 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, I quote from the ceiehrafed Prof. T. Watson,
,and King’s College, Condon, whoso work on the “ Frinci
pies and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of
onr medical colleges, and consequently stnntlard otrlltorU'/.
On page M.-J4, he says : —“We hear continually, Isitli in
and out of the profession, different s|ocies of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, llrain Fever,
bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, l.ow Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers arc to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gostro-Kuteric, and
so 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 bad and hurtful. It
i neon rages 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 can he relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, anil arc often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will, he well instead of any distlurtrharacter being devel
oped, so UN to lie properly named liy the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but ou experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under great variety of cir
> umslunces, 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-
I .Pino developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Itules”
and “.Synopsis’’will lie amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his toiignc, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till

tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour

The bowels of course should be attended to.

making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them nnicli pain anil suffering. I t

Painful menstruation will is- relieved at mice by a com

effectual remedies formally 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
and irituhility of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it. will south end
quiet, the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy : hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis,
To uvoid constant repetition, and condense the treat- ]
mint as much as possible. 1 give under this bead 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 be or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must lie removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any ease, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohtild bo given w hile
giving tlie “ 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 the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the I towels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the lirst dose, or simiii after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, 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 liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perbups, 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 bat ho
tho feet in Irot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot. w ith great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline -wash,” vinegar and water or spirits ami
water, either w ill afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will In no trou
ble; if 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 Ims become re
duced; if there is nausea mid vomiting, that, must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good: for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach : warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose: w hen the
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cat loir tie if
necessary : in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant In
cathartics. Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about w hat is used. I have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, ami to be fully understood by
all. 1 will name a lew of (lie different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz :
tat lim-ties.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and ninny pills, iiutibilious. ,te.: nnytliin
known to be good forsueli purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to net on the liver
purtiruliii I), portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
lor this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
lluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third. piHlopbyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take bis choice and lie suc

Tonics.— Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, nsits and hitter herbs. Bone
set or thorough wort is one of the liest used in fevers
Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho
bowels, foitulunumand other preparations of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, not proiierlv astringents
vvliicli have the effect.
Stimuli!nta.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of the best •
ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Ac., the essences are all more

ffMIKSK diseases are common to many localities of tlie

that is rmji|icleiit to overcome or remove I bat came.
By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,

agent, or In other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is (be same in character mid erteet; is a poi
son floating in Hie atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting iK tween op
posites, llutc is in the preparation before us. offered to
tlie public,

which neutralizes the poison whenever it comics in ion
tact with it. even in tin- open air, and when taken inter
nally roiiipletelv purifies the system affected by it of its
huucful influence, and tints restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is Indicted to be entirely new, ami un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continning its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will lie effected: tlie patient contin
uing free from thecomplalutforever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will
immediately- relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, ami when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent tlie accession of
General Dcliillty and Niight, Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other uicde
cine*. The patient at once begins to rei ver appclito
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from

cle us a \
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or billons attacks during the sickly- season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Sinci- the introduction of tlie CUKE in every part of
the United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor us its extraordinary merit.
Wiirn 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 ill vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and wlmt was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicinc, &c.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire siiperadiled
to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint.
Oil this account ague sufferers should lie particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may lie taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously- well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, ns n proof tlmt the Itemedy is lint 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 Ilaiinlcssiicss,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
New York. June 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Itbodes’ Fevci
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. CIIII,TUN, M. D., Chemist.”
It i> a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Itemedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by
preventing tile taking of other medicines which do barm.
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 tho diseases being produced by one an J
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, nml not wait for tlie poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take Ihe Cure as a preventive, uud so destroy
the poison before it ikies 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 liy a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, tlie object us which is to cleanse tlie stomach
mid free the biliary passage*. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costive ness, it must lir. takes
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
uud also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
uud destroy, to n degtee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
Tliis 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 tlie
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is tlie mime of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

of New York city, in favor of Rhodes* Fever pud Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and .having received numerous ap

for tlie medicine. Since thou 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva

therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that

( and 1 have only two bottles oil band. One reason it

Kvitlcnce from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos.. Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
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 has not had a chili since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time w ithout relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. i'ours truly,
Rev. A. ('. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from n Physician.

J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours.

Louisville No. 11, C. It. R., Ga., Jau. 1, 1858.
Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudice* by its
merits, ami given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A.IIAYLKB.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is Vicing 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 to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not, just us 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, aud it will be noticed that the letters
of which I publish sit h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
•ill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than over 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, not u man woman or child in the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Rilious or A ellow 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 and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to till
whoso constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
