Other reasons might lie added, lint these are deemed sufficient 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 first attack, but will apply witti equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have Imeomc reduced, corresponding id’ course -o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent rebel, In all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons ran scarcely realize that they lout been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—lt would hare passed off with out anything —that medicine hrul noclTcct.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the (above follow the cure of a common ease as naturally as men think at all: and it is not until the individual has witnessed many rascsthat lie can fully realize the truth; and evert then he may conclude then) all very trifling eases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful iu perhaps hundreds id’ cases, must . Xpert that there wilt eases 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 uguin rise as the Influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause inay still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that 1 have given cud frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.” Rrmarkson Fevers in General* (in this subject I wish to lie fully understood, li.v I lie term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to \vhu ll tlie human frame is subject, including small |mix and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions .>nd habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or tyjies; vet all arc distinguished by the same general character istics that ot undue excitement In the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac.

And systematic writers are to the full us particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Enterfe, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I urn persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all libs sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre si riln- for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied oil. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause,” The above Is n great fact, one worthy of remembrance aud I would impress mi your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you mill lie well instead of any distinetchurueter being devel oped, sous to be 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 -oleos the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soou be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But ns coses may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by uegloct, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued iu ail of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Kulcs” aud “ Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while iu the lying posture, so us to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and tueast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small ami wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will bo required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under tlie common treatment, while with this hut a few days will bn necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fullei or larger in volume, then to be rontiuned I once in eix or eight honre till the fever entirely eubsiiles.

This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will hr nit short ; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of , its running ils ordinary course. On this l will stake \ not only my reputation, lint all that 1 hold most dear; j besides, on lids subject, l have good authority; that ol Prof. Matson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “Vou may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number oj'the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here Is the admission that it may [ ho done.

(live a tcaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repent the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient: but it should tie given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gurgles may lie used, and Hie surface bathed, as thought advisable. Iu one ease, mi the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could net swallow nr speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given in tcaspoonful doses every hour, till all iiliirining symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the tlirout frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases.

The bowels of course should lie attended be In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain mid suffering. It is to inform (hem of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— I’ain In I menstruation will be relieved ill once by a com mon dose and retiring, ltostfessness, nervous irritability, or a cold taken at u delicate 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 Hoofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing nil excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as Hie circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, ami coiidcii.se the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all coses. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to be called, it should lie given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control ai! organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in an.v case, they should he appropriate means, and those sohiiid be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, us they wilt 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, I cull all else auxiliary treatment.

Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians nro usually particular about what is used, i have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name n tow of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to. viz.;— Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, an v of the roots or barks, and many pills, antlbllious, A,’.; anything known to he good for such purposes. Hepnticu.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation mid secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in ttuonce. And one may eliooso calomel—another, blue mass- the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, mid so on; each may take his choice and lie suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, siu-li as quinine, various liarks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or thorough wort la one of tlie lu-st used iu fevers Astringents—Such as check the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have tlie effect. Stimulantm.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best • ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” •■anodyne,” “diuretic,” ••relaxant” and “sedative than known in the materia medico.

OK MIASMA. riMIESE diseases are common to many localities oi the I Unite-1 States; but wherever they prevail, North, Soutli, East or IV*st| they all equally spring from the same iiiiMsiual cause. The great variety ol symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield tour edy that is competent to overcome or remove licit cause. By tile laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause ot 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 Hie same in character and effect: is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe it. In aceonliuice witli those unalterable laws governing Hie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tlie preparation before us, offered to till’ public, Tlie .\ntula 1 Antidote to Malaria, w hich neiitraliz.es the poison whenever it collies ill con tael with it. even in tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, mid un known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie follow ing 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 continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected; tin- patient contin uing free from tlie complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon (lie poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it w ill entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other incite l ines. Tin- patient at once begins to rei ver appetite 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 Hie community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, 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 CUKE in every part of tlie United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. Wlien these declarations were made, at the date el its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlie most candid minds, because all tin- 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 been limited to poisonous or destructive drags, siicli as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when snob remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, tlieir poisonous effects .ire superadded to tin- poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly cureful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie 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 iiemedy is not only valuable oil account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because ofits Singular anil Entire llaijiilcssiiess, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, mid a copy of it is attached to every bottle : New York, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arscuie. Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I fouud any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES K. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It i* a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, hut to do nil equally good work hy preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes Ibis Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is us 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 b.y one an.l tlie sumo cause, and therefore all, belli resilient* and travelers, should protect themselves hy the timely use of this preventive, ami not w ait for the poison already lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, uud so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and lial-ils 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 tills medi cine by a mild cat hurtle or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the olgectof which is to cleanse the stomach and free Hie biliary passages. Remember that where ibis is necessary, or there is costivrncss, it must re taken or the operation of the antidote will he seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles oftlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, anil also tlie air wafted across, or circulated over the dregsof it, after the liquid is evaporated, w ill counteract uud destroy, tn a ilcgice commensurate w ith its expo sure, tlie luiuMiiatu or poison contained iu the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise bo 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 Aiiue Cure” blown iu tin glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tire 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.

Rhodes —Having been entirely cured by your remedy, L 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 I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not hud a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health.

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 tlie Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same llalsain some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev, A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Moxtickllo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A.

Respectfully yours. ’ W. fl. SPENCER, Louisville No. 11, C. R. IL, lia., Jan. 1, 1856. Y our Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just culled will) lias been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES. It any body desires further evidences, they will (iml it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as_ rapidly as possible into every town and village in the l niteil 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 as they please. I can also say that n 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 lie realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters ot which 1 publish sit h immense quantities ure always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy. The CroxviiiiiK Glory oftlie Cure is its IIARMLEFF CHARACTER, which allows its iree usd ns 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 tin- atmospheric poison .Malaria, to which the Cure is n perfect antidoh. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to nil whose constitutions have lu-i-n shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation. .JAMKV.
