It is to guard nyauiHi disappointment in such eases that I have given ind frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.” ItemurkH on Fever* in General* <m tin subject I wish to be fully understood, ily the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox uidother eruptive fevers; hut as tin y arise by a great 1 siiet\ of causes, and iii quite dissimilar constitutions .nd habits, they of course differ considerably in their development mid exhibit, a variety of forms or types; vK all are distinguished by the same general clmracter i ti< - that <d 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. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advAtice, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, i King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ple* and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of nr medical colleges,and consequently standardauthority. Mn page HIM, he says:—“We hear continually, both in .nid out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of.

And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Vlncoiis Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (bistro-Knterie, and u 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 Imd and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre crihe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of rcniemhrance and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;'* if you have b'ver, treat it lit once as hereafter directed, and you u'iU 0* well instead of any distiuctcliarocter being devel oped, ho as to be properly named by the most scientific. ‘Phis assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the hed ideof the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands Os cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates.

As these fevers are all of one 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. Iti these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still comparatively little, us they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with atesiipoonfli! of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued once in six or eight hours til! the lever entirely subsides.

Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola amt Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Mcaslev, and Scarlet Fever. As all of those diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. lie member never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither , as they all commence with Jerer, but treat, it at once; govern the level* and there will he no trouble; there will he but little, eruptum even in small pox. Tliis. to most minds, is anew idea, and duubtles* will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make I lie assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will he cut short ; attended with hut lilt h* erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there i * no necessity of its ruiiiiiu; its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, but, all that I hold most dear; besides, on t his subject, I have good authority; that ol Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: •• You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number oj'the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may 4 be done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. Bee the account appended.

When the throat is affected, ; any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the : surface bathed, as thought advisable.

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 gargle in all sueli cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming j malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative F.lectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per manent r lief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re peated ns long as the favor continues, s in other cases. The bowels of course should he attended to. Iu connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much 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 and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation w ill he relieved at onee by a com mon dose and retiring.

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, but it will sooth ami quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy : lienee its usd in so many eases. Synopsis* To avoid coustank repetition, and eondeuse the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all (ruses. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may he 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, w hen suc h exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should ho appropriate means, and these sohuld be given w hile 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 (lieu be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due thu fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic’ (see auxili aries) with tiie first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrliu'U, give something known to lie 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 eobl water, to the part; if violent pniu in tho head, apply eold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, uuil bathe the feet iu imt water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or hatlie tiie whole surface w ith water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine iu taking effect, alter w hich there will be no trou ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, git e luiiies and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated: also, during convalescence, when the patient lias become re duced : if there is tiauseu and vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; for tliis purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in abort, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the ” Fluid” ut tiie same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then yon will be astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement.

Tonics.—Articles that give to strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Ronc set or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.

MMIKSK diseases arc common to many localities of the X Coited States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, Fast or West, they all c.pmily spring from the same miasma) cause. The great variety ofsymptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to dilference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is Hie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that i* competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle Ims its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or iu 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 the same iu character and effect; is a poi son floating iu the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with tlioso unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op |h,sites, there i- in the preparation before us. olfered to tiie public, J'lie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neiitraliy.es the |sdson whenever it conics in con tad with it. even in the open air. and when taken inter nally completely purities the system alfeeted by it of its baneful influence, and lints restores and preserves health. rite remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to auy but tile proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check tins ague iu persons who have sulfered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, mill by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical chit will la; effected; the 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 the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, aud when the disease is cured, it ’ will entirely prevent tiie accession of <jiencral Debility anil Night Sweats, w) lii'li so often follow the administration of other mcdc ! cines.

Since tiie introduction ot the CURE in every part ol tiie. United States, its success liiih been so complete and unvarying as 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 (lie 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 cmpirienl, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, ami w lieu sueli remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects arc superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the 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 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 ami Entire Ilarinlessiitss, The billowing certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists hi the United States lias been obtained, and a copy ol'it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. •‘1 have niadua 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 either in it, nor have I found any substance iu its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES It. CIIILTON, M. 1)., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from maluricus diseases, but to do unequally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. 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 cue under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an J the saino cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, aud not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure us a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions aud advice as to diet and habits ol’ life prepared l>y a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often lie tbund necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or ontibilious 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 costivcness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed.

The bottles iu whicli this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside w rapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tlit proprietor.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —l have just sent an order to Ames & Holliday for another half gross of your Fcverand Ague Cure. 11 has sold like “ Hot Cakes,” and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, J have sent a laittle and told them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it. and they were all satisfied. I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. ‘44 Bottles Perform ‘44 Cures.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir —1 cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. ()ue 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 slje gat a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a liottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, < Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Iml., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes— Doar 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, ’ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. It., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Y'our Ague Cure has 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 nil I can in its sale. W. A.HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tho CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas, &c. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence, ft is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and 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 the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will he noticed that the letters of which I publish su h immense quantities arc 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 ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of the Cure is Its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as n 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 Slates would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, ltilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tho 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 all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or liilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
