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 not unlike the (above follow the euro of a common case as naturally as men think hI all; and it is not until die individual has witnessed many easestbut In; can fully icallta the truth; and even then he may conclud* them and) very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded 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.

Dear this in mind, 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 all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” aud “ Synopsis” will he limply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upou the sick.

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.

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.

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 they subdue, ami xvheu such remedies fail, or give, only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ti e supennhled to the poor sufferer’s 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 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.
