It Ik to guard mil nut disappointment in men cams that 1 have given •nd frequently refer to what, I have called a “ synopsis.” tt< niurka on Kivu# In (iiiK iab mi this subject 1 wish to he fully understood. Ily the term “livens,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox ..tidother eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and iu quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their ievolopment and exhibit a variety of forms or types: yet ail are distinguished by the same general character istics—>lhat o undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of licut, dryness of the skin, debility. Ac. To show tluitl am not wholly alone in the opinion I .dvanee, I quote from the celebrafed Prof. T. Watson, • f King's College, huiidon, whoso work on the “ Prim i pies and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of air medical colleges, and consequently stamlanlcwlhority. Mu pige (Kid, lie says:—“We hear continually, both In ind out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. the public, Typhus Fever, Bruin Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fover, Nervous Fever, io. And systematic writers are to tlio full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Eiitcrlc, and o forth. Novi, admitting that fever shows itself under vnriou* forms, I am persuaded that the effoct upon the mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pie erihe for a disoaso according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can lie relied on. They rtm insensibly into each •t lier, even the most dissimilar of them, and ore often traceable to the same cause.” Tli” above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and ! would impress on your minds tbo folly of hunting up or troubling you seif about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at onre ns hereafter diroeted, and yon ‘•ill he well .nstemt of any distinct character being devel oped, so ns to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bnd sidu of the sick, in hundreds, nyn, thousands of cases vby myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstance!!, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, mid root assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have bi - onic developed before tbo “ Fluid” is given, either by noglect, or under sumo other treatment , I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in ill of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick. Rules important to hi observed in nil cases in using Ike. Xcgativc Electric Fluid. Ist. It should bo given in three or four times its ow n quantity of water, and may bo sweetened er not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must he free from ull currents of air, (though there should always bo free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluenco. 3d. It must he continued whenever tho fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should suoh ho tho case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement: should not bo questioned as to their wauls or toolings, nor attempt to converse, rend or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak: nor liotild any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quie to all intents and purposes. sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long os tbo patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. tlth. Should patients experleneo any oppression or raininess while in tho lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness alter the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have u little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little pirit, ginger, or some other stimulant: or the face and breast may be bathed in cold water; cither of which will give immediate relief.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse email and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will bo required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the commou treatment, while with this hut a few days will bo necessary at longest to establish n permanent convalescence. The treatment should bo commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaepoonful of Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or iaiger in volnme, then to be continued once in si* or eight hours till the fever entirely subside*.

The swelling of the throat was reduced ho as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— lined to wet tho throat frequently, il is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. K*u i |n in I or Cliililbcil Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady in which the mother is liable, w ill yield to tbo Negative Electric Fluid w itli such readiness, ns to seem to lie of little consequence. A single doso or two of a teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per iiiuui nt relief; no alarm need be entertained, us the Fluid will arrest it in a short lime. It should be re peated as long as tho fever continues, as iu other cases. The bowels of course should lie attended to. in connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will Have them much pain and suflering. I t is to inform them of tho happy i fleet of the Fluid in many ol'their trials. In ebild-birlli, its-relaxing and soothing elli'ct deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it, must lie tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of llie most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, Imt; if will sooth atid quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use iu so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense. the treat* meat a much ns possible, X give under tliis head general directions for all eases. .Vs the Negative Kloctrie Fluid will change fho condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may bo or ought to lie called, it should bo giv cn wherever or whenever it, exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must bo removed in order lo effect a permanont cure. When such indications occur in any case, tliuy should be appropriate means, and them sohnlj be given while giving tho “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, us they will thou more readily act, producing morn general effect, besides no unnecessary timo will then bo lost. As tho ‘,Fluid” alone will sub due tlie fovor, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (sec auxili aries) with tho first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to he good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, th “Fluid” will soon relievo Unit 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, ico water, if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe tie’ feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or hatin’ tho whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits ami water, cither will afford great relief mid aid the medi cine in taking effect, after w hich there w ill he no trou ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics mid stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or wheu indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient lias 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 cleanso the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if uocossary; 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 eon control all febrile excitement Auxiliaries, I’m tics may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians arc usually particular about what is used. I have found no such necessity when wing the Fluid, and to bo fully understood by all, 1 will name a tow of tho different article oi medi clu< I have referred to, viz:— Cnthnrtira.— Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, suits, senna, any of the roots or bark', and many pills, antiblllons, Ac: anything known to bo good for such purposes tlepntlrs. -Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Auy of the articles depended on by tho different schools for tliis purpose, will answer when usod in connection with the “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel-—another, bine mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and bo sm cossful. Tonics—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Boie-- set nr thoroughwort is one of tin: best usod in lovers Astringents.—Such as check tho action of tho bowels, laudanum and other preparations of opium are usod; also, many mixtures, uei properly .e.tiiwcont-. w Inch have tho effect. Stimulants.—Articles that rais” or excite tin to stem. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tin ew-eucos are all more or lots stimulating. Those are tho only claws necessa ry in tre .ding fever*. though many others arc gctictallv used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a Is t'er •• dia phoretic,’’ “anodyne,’ “diuretic,’ “relaxant” and “sedativi” Ilian known in tho materia m<xtioi. I shall not tax tlm reader with u long list of proofs depending mainly mi tho results of a trial, and will ouly refer to one instance of success, that on the Packet ship Our lies* D’Orlean*. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates We. the undersigned, certify to the* following,'viz We took passage on the packet-dap Duchess d'Orlcans Capt Hutton, thou lying in tho port of Havre, Franco’ and bound for New York. She sailed on tho Oth of Au gust, 1851, w ith over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among tho emigrants, They were all treated by tho physician in charge, Dr. N. \t. Scat, w ith a now remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, w ith which lie seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in a very short time. During tho voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there weroabout eighty cases of small pox,some lev It, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Scat on the oc casion. possesses inestimable virtues.

Since the introduction of the CKIiK iu every part of the Uni led States, its sueoess ltux been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions In favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made at the date of its introduef.on, they seemed incredible to many, even of the. most candid minds, because all die resources es 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 sciont.fic or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. ‘fho effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their pois nous effects ire superadded to tho poor sufferer’s first complaint. On t his account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assort they may ho 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 diseases, hut that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because es its Singnlttr amt Entire Harinlessuess, i The lollowing certificate from one of tho most celebrated chemists tn the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached toeveiv bottle: New York, June 11, 1555. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fcvet ami Ague Cure or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either iu it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tho constitution. •JAMES It. OIIIUTON, M. !>., Chemist.” II is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to rc.ieve tlic human family from malarious diseases, butt” (lo an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. Tho entire absence of any baneful ingredient- makes this Kemc.iy 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 bo taken in advance. This is owing to tho diseases being produced by one an! tho tamo cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for t lie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop it.seli in a violent attack. Take tbo Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it docs harm. Full directions aud advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often he found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antihilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tlie object of which is to e cause the stomach and free Hie biliary passages. Remember that, where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it mi st he taken or the operation of tlie antidote will lie seriously ob structed. Only Cant ion.--In certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining platen,, and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tho air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo sure, tlie 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 hottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tlie glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of tho proprietor. These precautions are taken t” prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance tor its success is entirely upon its ACTUAL MERITS, vvliercvcr introduced and used.

The eminent chem ist, I)r. and. R. Chilton, of New X T ork, certifies to its per fect innocence, it 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 niv those who a year ago were reluctant even to take tho Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now'they endom them all, and it will be noticed that the letters ot whit i I publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the tact of a greater suc cess and sale than over attended any other Aguo Remedy.
