In these low fevers, whi n fully developed, a little patience will bo required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run w eeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will bo necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence.

As tlm Negative Electric Fluid will chiutgu the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all cireunistnuccs, witliout regard lo the name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists: yet it cannot lie ex pected (o control ull organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure.

As tho Fluid” alone will sub duo tbe fever, I call ail else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (sec auxili aries) with the lirst doso, or soon after, and should it fail to operate ill due time, repeat tlio dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something know u to be good for that, eoiupluiut, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” w ill soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating iinimont, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho part; if violent pain in tlio head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlie feet in imt water; if tho fever is very high, skin dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface wit Ii w ater at an agreeable temperature; “tlio saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in takiug effect, after which there w ill be no trou ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tho patient lias become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lius settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tho 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 liavo seen, and then you will be astonished at tlie ease with which you can control all febrile excitement.

S\ lien these declarations were made, at tlie date of its introduction, they seemed incredible* to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources of science hud been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, galicinc, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superudded to the poor sufferer’s lirst 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 assovt they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their jnitency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable cm account of its power to cure diseases, but that itis also Worthy of Public: ConffUcnce, Because of its Singular and Entire Ilarmlessiicss, The follow ing 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, dune 11, 1855. ••I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever aud Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have Ifouml any substance iu its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” Ii 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, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as llm one under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken iu advance. Tliin is owing to tlio diseases being produced by one and the sauio cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use ol'this preventive, aud not'wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure ns a preventive, and so destroy tlie poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as (o diet uml habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often he lbuud necessary to precede tins medi cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The very best- tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tiie stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or tlie operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution* —lu certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for tlie vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract uud destroy, to a dogice commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise he resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tlie glass, and on the outside w rapper is tho name of tlie medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlio signature of the proprietor. These precautions mo taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

I had oue case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN I’. GEADDTNO. •1! Bottles Perform !44: Cures.

I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health.

One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and has not hail a chill since.

If any body desires further evidences, they will find if in every bottle of tbo CURE, winch is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in tlie United States, Canadas, &c. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. H, Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tho Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers uro those wlio a year ago were reluctant even to take tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Noav they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish sn li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and provo tlio fact ofa greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tile (JrowuingGlory of tin Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, wiiich allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons. not a man woman or child in tlie United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or 5 cl low Fever, or any form of disease arising from llio atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and pcimauenl effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all w hose constitutions liavo been shattered or weakened by Agile or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind ot intemperance or dissipation.
