As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary canes, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had lioen really much sick, and very naturally conclude they 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 out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general impression on the subject of lever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as’ men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully leulise the truth; and even then he may conclmb- them all very I rifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet perilous, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great ns to require particular attention, or though siicoesalul in reducing tin- fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting causa may still exist. It is to guard sgainat disappointment in such cases that I have given mid frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.” 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.

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.

Thegreat variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cMiso is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is rmji|icleiit to overcome or remove I bat came. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, ami for every disease, or cause id disease, there is a re 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, The Natitrul Antidote to Miliaria, 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 every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics. and all laboring people maybe using this arti 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.

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. Monticeilo, lnd., Aug. 27, 1855. 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. ’ AV. G. SPENCER. 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.
