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.

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.

CHILTON. M. D., Chemist.’ 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.
