,f'on why it should be lined instead of any other treat

.'lril,—Kconoiny of Feeling,—Aa it saves the
suffering of a lons sickness and the consequent treat

medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.

a dear friend is sick.

-object to he followed by chronic disease.
Oth.—Kconoiny of lalfe.—As the cure, iscfleeted
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in u corresponding degree, nil danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might la* added, Imt these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all eondi
i ions of life.
The übovo reasons urc more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
o the nature of the rase at thetime it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effuctuul and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after
the attack, |*rsons can scarcely realize that they had
•icon really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
were not ottacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
-a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of osnscquimoe—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine hod no effect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts

m any simple medicine, yet persona, though they have
been thus successful In perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will eases occur where there is siliu
organic or local cause so great ns to require particular
ittention, or though successful in reducing tin* fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes
nff, ns tin* exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
igainst disappointment in such eases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to wliat I have railed a “ synopsis.”
Ki ll! arks on Fevers in General*
mi this subject l wish to he fully understood. Ity the
I arm “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human fruine is subject, including small pox
and ether eruptive fevers; hut ns they arise by n great
variety of causes, mid in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in tiieir
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that of undue excitement in the circulatory and
uervotis systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skill,
debility, A.
To show that 1 am not wholly ultme in the opinion i
advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority.
■in page 8114, be says :—“We hear continually, both in
,nd out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, llrain Fever,
Billon* Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular;
vliicnus Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uustro-Kuteric, and
•o forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tlio
ruind of all this sub-division, is laid and hurtful. It
encourages n disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
'.’rilie for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that, can he relied on. They run insensibly into each
ether, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The atsive is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
jp or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
a rill he well instead of any distinctcharactor being devel
oped, so as to he properly named by the most scientific.

and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as eases may have be
• nine developed before the “ Fluid” is given, eithor by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
.s briefly as possible the proper course to ho pursued ill

Used to wot the throat frequently, il is doubtless the

Puerperal or Childbed Fever.,
This heretofore painful, dangerous uml alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose’or two of a
tcaspisinful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should lie re
peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
I u connection with this subject, I cannot refrain front
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 iu
many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor ol much of its pains
and difficulties; it must he tried to he appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will he relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a dolicato time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of tins most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tho most so of any modicitte known. Its effect, is uniform,
reluxitig the whole system, roinoviug all excitability
anil iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it w ill sooth and
quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use iu so many eases.
(Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this bend general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue anil
control it under all circumstances, without 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,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
he appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection vvitli it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then ho lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
due tho lever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) w ith the llrHt dose, or soon alter, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the tlose; if attended
with diarrliu-a, give something known to bo 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 hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
w hole surface with water tit an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar 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 iu low
fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before 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” ami a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ 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 bo astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.

Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., ns physicians are usually particular

which is often to them the most valuable pint of the

Since the introduction ol the CUKE in every part of
the United States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying its to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seeuicii ium-dible 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 xvliat was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, sncli as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease

temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ti e supennhled

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 disenses, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
ami Kntii-c Ilariiilcssness,
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.
“I have made a chemical examination ofllhodca’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, hut
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found
any substance iu its composition that w ould prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMBS 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, titan 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 an.l
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for 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
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
u will often Ire found necessary to precede this utetli
cino by a mild cathartic or nutibilious 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 wtiere
this is accessary, or there is costiveness, it mist re taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, poin
tin’ contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in 1
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
aud destroy, to a degteo commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise ho
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have Hie

of New York city, in fever of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Core, that itoontuiued neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
eurp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap

Mr. J. A. Rhodes,— Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
tlie value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an

manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and tins not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got ft bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
