Kr murk* on Fevers in General*
Un this subject I wish to be fully understood. By tin* ]
tenn •• fevers.” I comprehend all febrile affections to
.•Rich the human frame is subject, including small pox
.aidoilier eruptive fevers: but as they arise by n great
‘.ariety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions 1
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types: j
y*t fill are distinguished by the same general character- |
—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
aertous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin. ;
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I
-. !ran< ,*. 1 quote from the eelebrafed l*rof. T. Watsoq,
•t King's College, London, whose work on the •• I‘riiici
[des and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
or medical colleges, and o<mscquently Uandanlanthority.
n page 834, he says:—**AVe hear continually . Isith in

mind of all this sub-divisiou. is had and hurtful. It j
•-neonrages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro* !

iin<* of genuine distinction between continued fevers, j
shat can be relied on. They run iusensibly into each j
.ther. even the most dissimilar of them, and are often j
tra cable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one w orthy of remembrance ;
and I would wpress on your minds the folly of hunting j
up or troubling yourself al|put a name;” if you have I

This assertion is no hypothesis based oil closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
ride of the sick, iu hundreds, aye. thousands of cases
myself and others) under n great variety of cir
cumstances. seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
tssured you will soon be freed from ail dread of linger
.rig and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
ome developed before the Fluid” is given,- cither by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
.is briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the - Rules”
.tnd “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
FvJes important to be observed in all case* in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
Id. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
nbough there should always be free ventilation in the

fluence.
3d. Ir must lie continued whenever the fever subsides, I
- J evidently passing off: to be resumed when it
oegiijs foTise again, should such be the case under any
iicumstancea.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
oe left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
• tempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
ill their awn natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce, them to rise or speak: nor
•hould any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but bo loft
quiet t*idl intents and purposes.
itb. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
utger; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
-Id r warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire,
nth’. .Should patients experience any oppression or
l dntoess while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
- after the fever has passed off, or enough to
. as ion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
pirit, ginger, or some other stimulant: or the face and
breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
will trive immediate relief.

IVof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: (

(Jive a teasp(H>iiful or more, wconling to the urgency
of the ca--e. with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the i
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub- j
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient:
but it should begiveu atul repeated sufficiently to keep j
the fever under control. When the throat b affected, i
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
’ surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In cue * aso, on the ship Duchessd'Orleans, the tougm
and fa ltd is were so much swollen that the patient could
] not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given ill teasioouful doses very 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.—
I l srd to wet tin* throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.

manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated a* long us the fever continues. as in other cases.
The bowels oj course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making n few general remarks, which, if regarded by
t tlm ladies, w ill save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of tin* Fluid in
many of their trials, in child-birth, it> relaxing and
: soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
; and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
| Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
j ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
j its use: in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effect uai remedies for many of the ills of females, if not :
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
i relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and irituhility of the nervous as well as the circulatory,
j It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy: honor its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment its much as possible, I give under this head general
directions tor all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue and
c ontrol it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot la* ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur iu any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld be 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 lever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
> If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first close, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose: if attended
with diarrhea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
: “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
j pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
I a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or. perhaps, cloths wet iu 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 ht, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits ami
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble : if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give* tnics ami stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever <>r when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced: if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed be fore any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good : for this purpose I 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
ns you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Flu id” nt the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at the •ne
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 1
about wlwit is used. I have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, ami to he fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles .*f medi
cine I have referred to, viz :
Cat liar tic s.—Articles that purge or operate on the
boM cls, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.: anything
known to be good foi such purposes.
He pa I ic.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and 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
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another. Line
mass—tin* third, i>odophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and m* -n: each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics. —Articles that give tone or strength, such
ns, quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone-
I set or ilioroughwort. is one of the best used in 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 ho vi* tbo effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Oayeime pepmer) ia onedf tha bsst;
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, but tin* Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,* -anodyne,” ‘-diuretic,” “relaxant” and
••sedulixe” than known in tho materia medico.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, 1
depending mainly ••> tho results of a trial, and will ‘
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Pacli-ctsliip Duchess D’Orleans.
which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates:
We, tho undersigned, certify to tho following, viz—
We took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orleans,
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, Franco
and hound for New York. She sailed on tho 9th of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A fexv days after leaving Havre, the email
1 pox broke out among tho emigrants, They were all
treated by tho physician in charge,Dr. N. W. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which he wills Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it. in n few hours, and curing ■
in a very abort time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there woroubout eighty cases of small pox. some fever, !
Ac., and not a single death. AH were cured with mu/- ‘
Kim 1 prompt ness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully

fIMIKSE dineaM-Mare common to many localities of tin*
1. luited States; • Imt wherever they prevail, .North,
South, East or West, they all equally spring from the
>ame miasma I cans**. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to di Here net* in age,
**\, constitution ami habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is the some, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By tin laws of Nature, every principle ha.-* its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or iu other words a spoeifle remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, .stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
i cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
, soil floating ill the atmosphere, causing disease toall who
, breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governin- ilie unerring affinity subsisting between op
: posites. there i* iu the preparation before us. offered to
• the public.
The Natural AntLiolr to Ualaiia,
I which neutralizes the poison wlieuovor it conies in con
; tart with ii. even iii the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
i Baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
, health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
j known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly chums
the following extraordinary results from its use :
It will iiistantiy check the ague in persona who have
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to tin* direc
tions, a radical cure will lie 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 ilistressiiig symptoms of bil-
I ions or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
| will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility it ml Alight Sweats,
! which so often follow the administration of other uiede
-1 cines. The patient at once begins to reever 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 the community: farmers, me
chanics, and nil Laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
xx’hich is often to them the most valuable part of ihe
I year.
Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of
i the United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as t> have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date wf 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 tH>isonous 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 jre superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he particularly j
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, i
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert j
they may he taken with perfect safety, even when it is |
notoriously well kuown that their potency depends j
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 if is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Ilarmlessness,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated j
chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a |
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
New York, June 11, 1856. !
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever j
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 in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D.. Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally 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 one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
the same cause, and therefore all, iioth residents and
travelers, should protect, themselves by she timely use
of this preventive, and not wait lor the poison already
lurking in their 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 J
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
Lt will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious 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 costiveness, it MUST re taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents iff 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 tho
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise be
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 Ague Cure” blown in the
: glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
j medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and 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 suffipient.

HAVE received tho appointment from the proprietor
. for the sole agency of
Woodman'* Cherry Expectorant,
the medicine that has created such an excitement at the
North among the Physieians, and lias been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesamine.
tho pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it. far better than any
other Cough Medicine in this country.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Nr.w Orleans, April 9, 1865.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware ot the
i thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
j of Sarsaparillas, Pills, Plasters, Liniments. Ac., that are
I daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way 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
Ifeal Lise, in Pulmonary Ihseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessionally, and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science ami tho regular
Practitioners of Medicine. 1 refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip- j
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland. M. D. j
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1855.
j 0. 0. Woodman— Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry
; Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ei
j sects; better than any other article I ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by the hearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason. M. D.
This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
j the universal success which lias attended its use- For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
! this medicine, from its peculiar propertiesas a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat, |
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the |
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it Mill
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive j lowers in proper tom*.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the tost of tho medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
, Oil, or anything else now extant.
Price—One Dollar a Bottle.

Kvidetice from n Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
I Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir —I cheerfully testify to
1 the value of your Antidote lo Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGEE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and has not had a chill sine**. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until lie got. nbottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a, charm. Yours trulv,

J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice

Louisville No. 11, C. R. K.. Ga., Jan. 1, 1850.
Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who lias been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it- to everybody. 1 shall do all I
can in its sale. * W. A.IfAYLEf*.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. 11. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. Tt 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 tho Cure on commission. Tiny thought its great
claims aud pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish su -li immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
till any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater su< -
ces* and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy■.
The Crowning Glory
I of the Cure s its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child iu the United States
would over have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria. t<> 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 Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
