it will again rise as tho influence of the. •• fluid'’ passes

against disappointment in suen cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.’’
Iteiuarks on Fevers la General*
(In this subject I wish to lie fully understood. Ily the
lerni “fevers,” V comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise hy a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
sod habits, they of course differ considerably in tlieir
development and exhibit a variety of forms or typos;
yet all are distinguished hy the same general eliararter
i’tics that nt undue excitement in tho circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or loss unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
otvanee. I quote from the eelehrafed Prof. T. Watson,
and King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
• air medical colleges, and consequently slandarduutlwrity.
On page KM, he says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
And systematic writers are to the full us particular:
vlicons Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Kntcric, and
• > forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon Hie
mind of all this suh-division. is had and hurtful. It
. neouiages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
• rilai 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, mill are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
.sod I would impress on your minds tho folly of hunting
op or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
lover, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
mill lie well instead of any distiuotcharacter being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis bused on c loset specula
tions or visions of mind, but ou experience at the bed
side of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of eases
cby myself and others) under a great variety of cir
■ umstam es, seasons and climates, hear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers, hut as cases may have bo
. nine developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either hy
neglect, or under some other treatment, I w ill describe
IS briefly as possible the proper course to tie pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Hub s”
and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those
in'*'ustotned to attendance upon the sick.

taint ness while in the lying posture, so us to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it. they should have u little

As all oi l lies,, diseases al e attended witli lover, which

10 II I- wail to leal II lie- “name,” whether it is one or the

I direel, u ill In cal short; attended witli but little erup
tion; lit 11> “i no pitting, aud that there is no necessity of
its ruuiliug its ordinary course, tin this J will stake
not only my repututiou, but all Hint I hold must dear;
lu-side.-,’ on this sulijcet, I have good authority; that of
Prof. toalson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
•• VOll may abate tin; force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie nundter njthe puslulCs hy

be done. I nave nut only proven it maybe, but has

(live 11 tcas|iuouful or more, according to the urgency
of tin: ease, with 11 dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours it necessary, until the foiersub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should la- given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fiver under control. When the throat is all'eeted,
any of the ordinary gargles limy he used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
I u one ease, ou the ship Duchess d’Orleaus, lie longue
and l'aucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured hy dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop hy drop, till lie could swallow,
w hen it was given iu teaspuouful doses cccry hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so its to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best gargle iu all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, w ill yield to the
Negative Kh-ctric Fluid w ith such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose nr two of a
tciispoonful, almost invariably giving entire aud per
manent relief; no alarm need Is; entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re
peated ns long as the lover continues, ns in other eases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded hy
the ladies, w ill save them much pain anil suffering. I t
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.—
I'ninful menstruation will he relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
urn cold taken ut a delicate time, is easily relieved hy
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
eH'ectuni remedies for muuy of the ills of females, if not
llio most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
aud iritahility of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sloop naturally and
healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, aud condense the treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions tor all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tlie condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may lie or ought to he called, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex
pected to control all organic or locnl causes, which,
when such exist, must lie removed iu order to effect 11
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
ho appropriate means, and these sohuld he given while
giving tho “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, us they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then ho lost. As the *,Fluid” alone will snh
duc tlie lever, l call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bow els are costive, give a cathartic (sec auxili
aries) with tlie tirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate iu duo time, repeat tho dose; if attended
with diarrtuca, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tlie part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some voiding application, ami bathe
the feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either w ill afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in I akiug effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if tlie patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, giiv tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tho patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, tlmt must be
allayed before any medicine w ill remain on the stomach
to do any goad; for this pui|ioso 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to demise the stomach ; worm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tho
stomach lias settled, give the •* Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“Fluid” at tlie same time os directed, aud success will
crow n your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it. till you
have seen, and then you will bo astonished at tlie ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
I’m tics may feel at a loss to know what is meant hy
cathartics, Ac., as physicians arc usually particular
about w hat is used. I have found uo such necessity
when using tho Fluid, and •> ho fully understood by
nil, I will name a tow of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred t", viz:—
t’nt line ties. —Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such ns castor oil, suits, senna, any of the roots
or barks, aud many pills, uiitihilions, Ac : any thing

Since the introduction of the (THE iu every part of

fav or of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its

Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease

j Tlie following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the Uuiteil States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle:
New York. June 11, 1855.
“1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
aud Ague Cure, or Antidote I” Malaria, aud have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Mrycliiiiue, lint

It is a stubborn fuel, therefore, Hint this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good Work by
preventing tlie taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, Ilian it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine bo taken in advance.
This isowing to tho diseases being produced by one and
tlie sanio cause, and therefore all, both residents aud
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, nml not wait for the poison already
lurking in their xeius, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions aud advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished I'hysieian long resident iu
a bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine hy a mild cathartic or autihilious 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 uk taken
or the operation of the antidote w ill be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.—ln certain specified eases, poin
tin'contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) ami place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
aud also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregsof it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a dcgioe commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu tlie apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be
