tilh. Economy of Istfe.—As the cure is effected

removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal

Other reasons might lit* added, Imt these are deemed
siittii lent to satisfy all i lasses and persons in all condi

The above reasons an* more particularly applicable lo
the immediate treatment oil the first attack, lull will
apply with ci|ual force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
•o tlie nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
\s this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
i.cell reullv milch sick, and very naturally conclude they
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “‘it was trilling
i little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed oil with
out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
s’ naturally as men think at all: and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully
ii alize He- truth; and even then lie may conclude them
all very trilling eases, which would have readily yielded
lo any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
liiw-ii thus nreessful ill (icrlmps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will eases isictir where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular

Itciim i-ks on Fcvcra In General*
(In I his subject 1 wish to he fully understood. Ily the
term “levers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the liuniuu frame Is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, mid ill quite dissimilar constitutions
ilid liahils. they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
vet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics —that ol iiiniuo excitement in tlio circulatory and
nervous systems—lnducing more or less unnatural fre
quency iu lhi‘ pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
In show that lam not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
ol King's College, hondon, whose work on the •• IT'inci
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standant authority.
<qi page Slit, lie Hays:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of Mie profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever,
.v ■- And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, AI axle. Adynamic, tiastro-Kntcric, and
. forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effort upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
cneditrages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
■ ribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued lovers,
ttwit can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
tiiu eulile to the Same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one w orthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
tever, treat il at once as licreufter directed, and you
a-itl be i mil instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to he properly named liy the most scientific,
‘fliis assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula

assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger

will give immediate relief.

As these fevers are all of oue character, differing

• mall and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating ‘them—at least so far us
my treatment is concerned, lit 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 lie necessary at longet to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoontul of “ Fluid'’ every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
twee in fix or eight hours till the I'aver entirely subsides,
In had cuses, from three to five grains each of quinine

of some liepabic should lie g .veil occasionally, even
though the bowt'ls should ls‘ very loose. The patient
should lie sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
drinks—such as are in comui on use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry. sp mging the surface us di

As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom', the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers, ltoniember
never wait to learn the ••mum,'’ whether it is olio or tlie
other, or neither, as they all commence with fere.r, hut
treat it ut once; govern tint fever and there will Is- no
trouble; there will he bid little eruption even ill sniiill
pox. Tills, tu most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will he regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated us
I direct, will hr, cut short; attended with hut little erup
tion; little or iio pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, hilt all that l hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I have good authority: that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874:
*• You may abate tlie force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie number of the. pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
he dene. I nave net only proven it may he, hut has
hern done in numerous eases that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
Oive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a close of salts or castor oil; repent the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—-tliougli one or two doses is generally sufficient;
Imt it should he given and repeated sufficiently le keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may la- used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess d< trleans, the tongue
and faucus were sotuttch swollen that the patient offllil
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid mi his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given in tcnspoonful ‘lust's every hum', till
all alarming 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 throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best yary/e in all such eases.

Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little cnusequeiicc. A single dose or two of a
teaspnoiifnl. alpiost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in.a short time. It should he re
peated as long ns thu Inver continues, as ill other eases.
The bowels of course should he attended I".
11l connection witli this subject, I cannot, refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them iniicli pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing aud
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried In be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will he relieved lit once by a com
mon dose and retiring, Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken ut a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient aud
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will south anil
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally aud
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as turn'll as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, w ithout regard to the
name it may be or ought to he called, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
w hen such exist, must he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
he appropriate means, and these sohuld ho 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 be lost. As the % Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
w ith 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 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
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and liot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
‘•the saline wash,” vinogar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will he 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 has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must l>o
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to doasy good; for this purpose 1 generally, give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlio
“ 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 ho astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics. Ac., as physicians aro usually particular
about What is used. I have found no sueli necessity
when using the Fluid, and to he fully understood by
all. 1 will name a lew of the different ‘articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to. vi/.:—
fallinrt lea.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels. Kill'll as castor oil, salts, senna, any id'the roots
or harks, and many pills, antihilious, Ac.; anything
known to he good for such purposes.
Ilepatlea.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally
Any of the articles depended on hy tho different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopliyllin—tlio fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and he sue
cosuful.
Tonics.—Article# that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs llone

Aatriiiftenta. —Such as chock the action of the
bowels. I sou lan urn and other preparations of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best •
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac.. the essences are all more
nr less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a better -diii

“sedative” than known In tho materia mntien.

depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one Instance of success, that on the

riMIKSE diseases are com moil to many localities of the
JL United States; hut wherever they prevail, North,
■South, East or West, they all equally spring from the
same miasmst cause. The great variety ol symptoms aud
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution aud habits ot tlie sufferers; but as tlie
cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
Ily tlie laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re

which neutralizes tlie poison whenever il conics in con

health.
The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un

t lie following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered lor any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc

Since the introduction of Die CUKE in every part of
the United States, its success lias been so complete and
unvarying as In have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all tlie resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and wliat was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited In poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicinc, Ac.
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 superiuldcd
to the |ioor sufferers first complaint.
On 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 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 Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is

Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular anil Kntirc Ilnmilcssiiess,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle:
New York, June 11, 1555.
“1 have made a chemical examination of Hinnies’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to .Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine anil Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of cither in it. nor have I found
any substance in its conqKisition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, Unit this Kemedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by
preventing tlie taking of other medicines which dohami.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
tliis Kemedy 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 tlie diseases being produced by one ail.l
tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already
lurking in tlieiv 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 Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often lie 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
this is necessary, or there is costivrness, it must be taken
or tlie operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.— lu 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,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
and destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, tlie 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 input up have tlie
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tin
glass. and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) ami 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.

Di al Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
I housnuds of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*. Pills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers bi
ll ay of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Feat Use in I‘ulnwnary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, I mu acting most unprofessiomill.v. ami derogu
torily to tin- interests of-Medical Science and tin- regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of tin- usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

O. O. Woodman —Dear Sir; l have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its of.
tects; better than any other article 1 ever met with. 1
would be pleased to have you send me halt’ a dozen bot

Hiis preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
roughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
tins medicine, from its peculiar properties as dissolvent
and its soothing ) lower to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also l-e found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping tlio digestive |siwers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sane

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it lias 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
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 yjur nndicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, — Deal - Sir—l cheerfully testify to
tlie value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
iu 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. Y'ours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

Your Ague Cure lias 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. I shall do all I
can in its sale. “ YV. A.IIAYLES.
if any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of tlie CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the l nitcil 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
tlie Fever aud Ague or not, just as 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 tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not lie realised. Now they
endorse them all, ami it will lie noticed that the letters
ot which I publish su li immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fillany newspaper, aud prove the fact of a greater sue
i ess and sale thun ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The 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 ami sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child iu the United Stales
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Agile,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie
Cure is a perfect antidote.
it is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Billons diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
