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.

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.

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.

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 agent, or iu other words a specilic remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same ill character and effect; is a poi son Hi ill ting in tlie atmosphere, cuusilig disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tin- preparation before us, offered to Ihe public, The Natural Aut idol e Iu Malaria, which neutralizes tlie poison whenever il conics in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities tlio system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known to any hut the proprietor, who distinctly claims 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 tions, a radical cure will lie effected; tlie patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon the poison in tlie system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of Gcncrul Debility unit Niglit Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other lucle rines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored lo perfect health. Ily its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Prevent! vt, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often lo them the most valuable part of the 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 also 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.

She took in all four bottles which completely re stored her to health and strength, aud as four months have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tlie perma nency of the cure. C. 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, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. 1. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of pulling medicines, hut desire to say, for tlie benefit of the afllictcd, that YYm.

This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of tlie public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. 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. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Iml.. Aug. 27, 1555. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been iu 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, ‘ YV. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11. 0. it. It., Ga., Jim. 1. 186#. 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.
