As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual aud perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they Itad iieeii really much siek, and very naturally conclude they >vcie not iittackud with fever, and if so, “it was trifling i little cold, which gave alarm—it could hare Is-eii nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with al anything that medicine had noelfect. - ’ The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the ,above follow the cure of a common case is naturally as men think at all: aud it is not until the individual has witnessed many eases that lie can fully realize the truth; and even then lie may conclude them ad very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded l<> auy simple medicine, yet persons, though they have teen thus successful In perhaps hundreds of cases, must expert that there will runes ocelli where there is some ipanic or local cause so great as to require particular’ iticntiun. or though succosslul in reducing the fever, it wall again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes off, as l lie exciting cause may still-exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that I have given aud frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.” licmiii ks on h'cvt rs in General’ Du this subject I wish to be fully understood. Ity the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including sum 11 pox and other eruptive levers; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions uid habile, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet .all aredlHtingulshed by the same general chaiacter i-dK H that of undue excitement in the circulatory and m rvous systems—lnducing mure or less unnatural fre quency In the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tin- skin, debility, Ac. To show Unit I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance. I quote from tlie celebrated I’rof. T. Watson, Oi King's College, I,(melon, whose work on the *• Princi ples and I’lactleo of Physic” is a text ls>k in many of onr medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. Du page s.li. he says:—“We hear continually, Imth in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. Ami systematic writers are to the full as particular: Much Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-Flnteric, and • tortli Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms. I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all tills sub-division, is laid and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro svrils- for a disease uecordiug to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, ami are often traceable to I he same cause.” Tbe above is a great fact, one worthy of remoiubrauce and 1 would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;'’ if you have lever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, anil you tuitt lie well instead of any distinctdiaractcr being devel oped, no as to lie 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 side of Urn sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases iby myself and others) under a great variety of cir • umstnnees, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will nooh be freed from all dread of linger ing uml dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before tho “Fluid” is given, cither by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued In nil of the most prominent fevers, though the “ ltules” uml “ Synopsis” will he nmpiy sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

As these fevers are all of oue character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and 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, w hen fully developed, a little patience will he required; still ouiparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under tlie common treatment, while with this but a few days will tie necessary at lougest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—which uih.v ■ mmedlutoly follow any other without detriment— with a tesspoonfbl of “ Fluid” every two hours, (ill the pulse becomes fuller or largecin volume, then to be continued once in fix or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides 11l had eases, from three to five grains eueli ot i/Uitnoe and eajooi tiui (Cayenne popper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should is- added to each dose, Ihe bowels should ho kept gently open, aud small portions ot some lu'ii'ilii should lie given occasionally, even though file lioweU should Ire very loose, ‘i lie patient should tie sustained by nourishing and mucilage-nous drinks—such os are in common use iu such eases.— Where the skill is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious lever, will be found advantageous.

Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; oi* Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, anti Scarlet Fever. As all us these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment dilters hue little from that of common fevers, Remember never wait to learn tlie “ name whether it is one or the other, or ueilher, as they all commence with jie.ee, Imt treat it at once; govern the liver and there w ill he no trouble; there will Is ■ bid litUe erujitioH even iu smsll pox. This, to most minds, is u new idea, and doubtless will bcrcgiirded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make tlie assertion, Unit small jkix, if treated as I direct, mill be cut short; attended with Imt little erup tion; little oi no pitting, and lliut I Imre is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this J will stake not only my reputation, tint all that 1 hold uiont dear: besides, mil his subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Matson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: ‘•you may abate the force of the eruptive lever, uml keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission that it may he done. I nave not only proven it mag be, hut lias been done in numerous eases that occurred on hoard ship. Bee the account appended. (live a tenspiHinful or more, according to the urgency of the ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; hut it should lie given and repeuted sufficiently to keep tlie fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tlie ordinary gargles may lie used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. I ii one case, on tlie ship Duchess d’Urloans, tin- tongue : and faueus were so much swollen that tlie patient could | not swallow or speak, and In- was cured by dropping tlie l Fluid oh liis tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, w hen it was given iu teiisiKXilifut doses i eery hour, 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 tn wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie bestgurgk in nil such oases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady lo which the mother is liable, will yield to tlie Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to scent to Ini of little consequence. A single dose or two of a tenspoiiuful. almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no idarm need lie entertained, as tlie Fluid will arrest it ill a short time. It should lie re peated as long as tlie fever continues, ns in other cases. The bowels of course should Is* attended to. tn connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tlie Indies, w ill save them miicli pain and suffering, it is to inform them of tlie happy cfleet of tlie Fluid in many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing ami soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains ami difficulties; it must lie tried to lie appreciated.— Da infill menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Kcstlcssncss, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by it* use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and 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 irilahility of tho nervous ns w ell as tho circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sootli and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy: hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Klcctric 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 lie railed, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie 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 iuauy case, they should to appropriate means, uml these sohuld bo given while giving tho “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 lie lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub due tlie fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or hiioii after, and should it fail to operato in duo time, repeat Hie dose; if atteuded w ith diuirhiea, givo something known to lie good for that complaint, thougli 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 iu cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply eold water, iee water, if convenient, or some nailing application, and bathe the feet in Imt water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie w hole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash.” vinegar aud water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine ill taking cUcrt, alter which there will he no trou ble; if Ihe patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, giie tonics ami stimulants, particularly iu low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient lias become re duced; if there is nausea uml vomiting, Hint must he allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do nay goad; 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 Final” uml a cathartic if ueceaaary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms ns you would under any other eircumstunees, giviii” the “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize It till you have wen, and then you will lai astonished at the case 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 are usually particular about what is used. I have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and in lie fully understood by all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the towels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of tin- roots or harks, and many pills, antihilious, anythin known to !*e good torsuch purposes. Hepatlcs.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of (lie articles depended on by the different schools’ for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tlie Fluid or while the system is under its in fluemv. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophylllu—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on: each may take his choice mid lie suc cessful. Tonies.—Articles Hint give tom- or strength, such ns quinine, various lurks, risits and hitter herbs. Bone set or Ihoroughwort Is one of tlie best used in fevers. Astrindents. —Such as clunk tho action of tho towels, laudanum 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 tlie best • ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less Stimulating. These arc tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, Imt the Negative Filootric Fluid is a hotter “din plunetic,’’ anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in tlie materia medico. 1 shall not tax tho render with along list of proofs, depending mainly mi the results of a trial, anil will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Paeketahip Duclics* D’Oilcon*. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, via— Wc took passage on tlie packe’tship Duchess d'Orlcutw ('apt Hutton, then lying in tlie port of Havre, France’ nd hound for New York.

Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure; Ou Antidote to Malaria ; FOR THK PREVENTION AND CURB Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, ami other Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also ot Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp lons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night Sweats, and all other forms of disease WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN MAIiAHZA OH MIASMA. fIUIKBK diseases are common to many localities of the X United States; hut wherever tln-y prevail, North, South, Fiast or West, they all equally spring from the same miasiual cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; hut as tlie cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, nr in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, w hether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi hod floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe it. In accordance witli those unalterable laws governing Die unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is iii the preparation before ns, offered to the public, Tlie .\nluritl Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it. even in tlie open air, ami when taken inter- Hally completely purifies the system uffeeted by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to he entirely new, uml un known to any lint tile proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary reaults from its use: It will instantly check the ague in persona who have suffered tor any length of lime, from one day to twenty years, and liy continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will tie effected; the patient contin uing free from tin-complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison ill the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, aud when tlie diseuse is cured, it ! w ill entirely prevent tlie accession of General Debility ami Night Sweats, j which so often follow tlie administration of other unde ; cincs. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever aud Ague may he banished from j every lamilyand class iu the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti | cle as a Preventive, i And pursue their reapective avocations iu perfect safety | from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to then; tlie most valuable jiart of tlie year. Since the introduction of the CUKF in every part of tlie United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying us to 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 the 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 drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the ilisease they subdue, ami when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects arc superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. Ou this uccount ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may ho 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 ot its power to cure diseases, hut that it is also Worlliy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular anti Entire llarnilcssness, Tho following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and u copy of it is attached to every bottle: Xxw Yokk, June 11, 1855. “1 tun e made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of cither in it, nor have Ifouml any substance in its composition dial would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JAMES it. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family front malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines w hich do harm. Tho entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as aCure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance. This is owing to tho diseases being produced by one an 1 tho samo cause, anil therefore all, Imth residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlm timely use of this preventive, aud not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself iu a violent attack. Take the Cure a.s a preventive, and so destroy the poisou before it does harm. Full directions and advice us to diet mid Imbits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often tic found necessary to precede this medi cine liy a mild cathartic or antihilious purgative. The very beat tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tho object of which is to cleanse the stomach and tree the biliary passages. Remember that where Hiis is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of tbe antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution, —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more -hottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, anil also the air wafted across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, utter the liquid is evaporated, w ill counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise Ini resorted to when very young infant* are exposed to malarious situations. Tlie bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Auue Cure” blown in (lie glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of the proprietor. These precautions arc taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance eor its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will he considered sufficient.

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 tlie family of a clergyman here has been takiug an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of tlie Cure aud has not lmd a ehill since. A young man also used the same Balsum some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. Bo far it works like a charm. Y’ours trulv, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, linJ., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A.

Respectfully yours, ’ ‘ W. (i. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. lt.,Ga.,Jan. 1, 1858. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction.

Tho cmiuent 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 aud Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers arc those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure ou commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all, and 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 suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The CroxvniiigGlory of the Cure Is Its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tho warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever aud Ague, Bilious or Y'ellow Fever, or any form ol’ disease arising from tlie 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 strengtli to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
