To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I ntvauce, i quote from the celebrated J’rof. T. Watson, of King’s College, Condon, whoso work on the “■ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of .'iir medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. oil page n;M, lie says : —“We hoar continually, both in and out of the profession, diflerent species of fever S]mi hen of. ity the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, l.ow Fever, Nervous Fever, And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Minims Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, tiascro-Knteric, and • forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the iniuil of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful, it • iirnurages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro ■ rihe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, dial ran be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Tbs above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would imperil on your minds the folly of limiting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have t'-ver, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you mill be mill instoiui of any distiuctcliaracter being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific.

But ns cases may have be i omodeveloped before the “Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to ho pursued in til of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Ituios” and “Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for nil those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

As ihe bowels ure generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease, no time should be lost to get them open, give some active . athartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces ary till it operates: enemas (injections) may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or irietion (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to tlie head.

As these fevers are nil of one character, differing mainly iu degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse .mall and wiry, w ith n general great depression, there is j no practical use in separating them—at least so far as i my treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, when ‘ hilly developed, a little patience will bo required; still i comparatively little, as they frequently run weeksunder i tlie common treatment, while with this but a few days ‘ will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent ” invaiescence. Tlie treatment should be commenced —which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonfnl of “ Fluid’’ every two hours, till the pulse lieeomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued oncp in six or eieht hours till the fever entirely subsides, j In bad cases, from three to five grains i in-li of i/uinine and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic aud stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should lio added to each dose. The bowels should las kept gently open, and small portions of some hejndic should be given occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and nuicilagenous drinks—such as are iu common use in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface ns di reeled in bilious fever, will he found advantageous.

As all of these diseases arc attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, tho treatment differs hue little from that of common fever-. Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with freer, hut treat it ul once; govern tho fever and there w ill be no trouble; there will b cbutlitUe. eruption even in small : pox.

I nevertheless boldly mil!,” the assertion, that small pu.\, it treated as 1 direct, u’// hr. cut short; attenileil with blit little erup tion; little or no pitting, and Unit there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On Ibis I will stake not only my reputation, lint all that J hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of 1 Prof. I Vat son, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “Von may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, tlio number of the. pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tho admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it -mug hr, lint has been done iu numerous cases that oeeurred on hoard ship. See tlio account appended. Give a teaspoonlhl or more, according to the urgency of the ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlio Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until tlie fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep tlio fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tho ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one ease, on the ship Duchessd'Orleans, I lie tongue and fuucus w ere so much swollen that the patient i mild not swallow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow, when it was given in tcaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throntwas reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such eases. Puerperal or Cliitilbcil Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tlio mother is liable, will yield Iu tho Negative Klcctric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a tcuspoonful, almost invariably giving eptire aud per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. Tlio bowels of course should he attended to. in connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of tho happy effect of the Fluid iu many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlio labor of much of its pains and difficulties; if must he tried lo be appreciated.— Painful menstruation w ill he relieved at mire hy 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 the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most ho of any medicine known. Jts effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of tho nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy: hence its use in so many eases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condeuse tlie treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all eases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tho condition called lover, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may he or ought to bo called, it should ho given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he ramoved in order to effect a permanent euro. When such indications occur in any ease, they should be appropriate means, and these soliuld he given while giving tlio “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then he lost. As tho ‘, Fluid” alone will sul>- duo tlio fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlio lirst dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to ho good for that complaint, thougli if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relievo 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 in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe tho foot in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water at 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 tho patient inis boon 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 the patient lias become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm Water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give tlio “ 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, ami success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, ami then you will bo astonished at the ease ; with w liieh you can control all fehrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties limy feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using tho Fluid, anil to ho fully understood by all, I will name a tew of tho different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Fat hurtles.- Articles that purge or operate on the bow els, such os castor oil, suits, senna, any of the roots or barks, aud many pills, antibilioiis-. Ac.: anythin'* known to ho goodforsuck purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circul.itiou and secretions generally. Any of the avtidqs depended on l\v tlio diflerent schools for this purpose, w ill answer when used iu connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tin- third, podopliyllin—tlie fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and he suc cessful. Tunic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such us quinine, various I-arks, roots and bitter herbs. Bono set or tlioronghwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents, finch as check the action of the bowels. Ltudunmn ami other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best: ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. Those are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is hotter “din phoretic,” -anodyne,” ••diuretic.” “relaxant” and •'sedative” than known in the materia meilicu. I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tlio results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Packet ship Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: Me. the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz— We took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France! and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated by tho physician in charge. Dr. N. If. Seat, with anew remedy of hi* own. which lie calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which ho seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-uiuc days, there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From w hat wo saw during said passage, we arc fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues.

Failed .-States; hut wherever they prevail, North, South. Eust nr West, they all equally spring from tlie same uiiusmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is ow ing principally to difference iu age, sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; but as tlie cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Ity tho laws of Nature, every principle bus us opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a spociiic remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lunds, i, the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who hreatiii it. la accordance with those unalterable laws governing the um-rriqg affinity subsisting between “p ----posites, tln-rc is in the preparation before us. offered to tlio public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria. which neutralizes the poison whenever it conus in eon tact with it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims tliu following extraordinary results from its use: It w ill instantly cheek the ague in persons who have suffered tin- any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, u radical euro will lie effected; tlie patient contin uing free from tlie complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon tlie poison iu tlie system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it. will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cities. Tin patient at once begins to rec.ver appetite and strength, arid continues to improve until restored to perfect health. lly Its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and class in the community; fanners, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue I heir respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since tlm introduction of the CERE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete aud unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible 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 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, Salicine, &c. 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 superadded to tho poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, ns a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessucss, 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, 1855. ••I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quiuine and Strychnine, but have not found n particle of either in it, nor have Ifound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JAMES li. 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 hy 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, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as tlie one under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and 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 tlie Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm, Full directions and advice its to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often bo found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilioiis purgative. Tho very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he taken or tlie operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degi ee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlie apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise bo resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles 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 the signature of the proprietor. ‘These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits anil imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by tlio proprietor, JAMES A.

I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but tint niancaiiie to see me on I lie sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN GLADDING. :i I ltottles Perform “i t 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 1 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 Wishing y>ur medicine the success that it merits, I remain truly vours, TUC.m'AS G.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Bept. 25,1865. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote lo Malaria. 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 lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

A gentleman just called who lias been fully cured by uuly one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all [ can in its sale. * YY. A. lIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadcs, &c. The eminent chcm i isi- hr. J . R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per i P'''t innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tlio Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers arc those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters ot which I publish an-Ii immense quantities are always new and late slates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact ofa greater suc cess and sqje than everattendcil any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Ci-OTviilngGlory of the Cure is Us HARMLESS CHARACTER, which 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 iri the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Oiivo is a jMirfeet antidote .
