The above reasons ar-’ more particularly applicable to the iuuneiUatu treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have beeonie red need, corresponding ol course •u the nature of the ease at the time it is lirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, elfoctual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after thu attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tie y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling :i little cold, which gave alarm—lt could have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed oil with out anything—that medicine had nocffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever Is mieh, that thoughts not unlike the ’above follow the cure of it common man as naturally us men think at all; and it is not uni i I tlie individual lias witnessed many easostluit he run fully realize the truth; mid even then he limy conclude them all very trilling cases, which would have rowdily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful iu perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local eaiiso so great as hi require particular attention, or though successful in reducing the lever, il will again rise as the inllueiice of the “ Fluid' 1 passes off, ns the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in sucli cases that I have given tnd frequently refer to what 1 have called a “aynopids.” Rcmiirk* on Fevers in General* On lliis subject I wish to be fully understood. Ily the term “levels,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which tile human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and liuhits, they of course differ considerably in their development anil exhibit a variety of forms or types; yel all are distinguished by the same general character istic*—that of undue excitement in tbo circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tin’ skin, debility, Ate. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from tlie celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, Condon, whose work uu the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of - mr medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority. On page S-'I4, lie says:—“We hear continually, both in mid out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, llilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, .vc. And systematic writers are to the full as particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, tiastro-Enteric, and o forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms. I am {Hirsuitiled that the effect upon tlie mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It eie.oumgcs a disjsisition, already too prevalent, to pro scribe for a disease according to its tuime. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, thut can he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds tlie folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have lover, treat it at mice as hereafter directed, and you mill. In mil instead of any distinetcharaeter being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific. This assertion Is no hypothesis based on closet specula i ions or visions of mind, Imt oil experience at tlie bed side of tlm sick, in Hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and Olliers) under a great variety of eir i umstancos, seasons ami climates. Hear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest iissiireil you will soon be freed from ull dread of linger ing and dangerous levers. But as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe us hi icily as possible tlie proper course to be pursued in ull of the most prominent fevers, though the “ llules” and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for ull those iioi'iistomed to attendance upon the sick. /Inles imjmrtant to be, observed in all cases in using the A'egative Electric Fluid.

When tlie fever begins to subside, patients must lie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of ull extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor diould any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may fool more or less interested, but be left quiet to nil intents and purposes. sth.

Uth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while ill tlie lying posture, so us to occasion a restlessness after the fever lias passed off’, or enough to invasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, oamphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face anil breast may ini bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

All persons over llfteen considered us adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, us much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children —those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will he I'ouml agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full lienefftof the medicine limy be obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity ol’ such strict ob servances. llilious or Remittent Fever. Hive a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tlie fever is evidently passing off ; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the “Hides.” lint should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to at once, ami while giving tlie “ Fluid.” See SynopJi*. ll'ln any case the bowel-: are particularly constipated or con lined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion; they must be opened or tlie lever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse miming 110 or upwards, and tlie patient is not particularly susceptible to tlie influence of medicine —not easily operated on by medicine generally—n double dose, or two toaspoonuful may be given at lirst with advantage, aud even repeated in two hours —If it —the pulse—lias not been softened, thus sliowiug the medicine lias taken effect. Uatliiug the surface with water at iu) agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, w ill afford relief anil aid the medicine much iu taking effect. Cougntive Fever. Give two teasponnsful and repeat every two hours till I In’ pulse becomes more full aud soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued us tlie fever subsides. As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease, no time sliould be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat as may be neces ury till it operates: enemas (injections) may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with ute hands or flannel; also, cold applications to tlie head. Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advis&ble. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship anti Putrhl or Spotted Fever. As those fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being ail of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use In separating them—at least so far as iny treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required: still comparatively little, as they frequently ruu weeks under tlie common treatment, while with this but a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment sliould be commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till tlie pul‘ becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued once iu six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsldea. In li.nl eases, from three to live grains each of quinine and oljutii ilhi (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) sliould Is’ added to each dose. The bowels should lie kept gently open, and small iiortioiis ‘if sunn* liejHdtc sliould lie given occasionally, even though tin- bTwels sliould lie very loose. The patient sliould lie sustained by Hour idling and mucilaginous drinks—such as are in common use in sueli cases.- Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface a* di rected in llilious fever, will In found advantageous. Tonies sliould lie used during convalescence, in all cases which have Isn'iuiie reduced. Pneamanla, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give u tuuspoouful of the “Fluid” every two hours, witli a wine-gUbwlul of a strong decoction of boucset; or half tlie quantity limy he given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. Tlie lamuset ten sliould he given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of tlie kind, to be applied over tlie seat of pain; keep tlm bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Ninall Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Searlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact i* the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs bun little from that of common fevers, ltemcuibei never wait to learn tbo “ name,’’ whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with fear, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will h a bid little cruplim even iu small pox. This, to most minds, is u new idea, aud doubtless will he regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make tin- assertion, tiiat small pox, if treated as I direct, will he cut short; attended with but little erup tion ; little or no pitting, and that there Is no necessity of its running it* ordinary course, tin this I will stake not only my reputation, but all that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: “ You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it iiv believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission that it may la: done. I nave not only proven it mug be, Imt has been done in numerous eases that occurred on board ship. Bee tlie account appended. Give a teas; nl'ul or more, according to the urgency of the case, vv ifli a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two dose* is generally sufficient; Imt it should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep tlie fever mider control. When the throat is affected, any of tlie ordinary gargles may he used, anil tiie surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchessd’Orlcuns, the tongue and faiicus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured hy dropping tlie Fluid on his tongue, drop liy drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given iu teaspomiful doses emery hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best gargle in all such cases. Piurpcrni or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with sueli readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a tciuqMHinful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as tlie Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It sliould he re peated ns long as the fever continues, as iu other cases. Tlie bowels of course sliould be attended to. In connection witli this subject, I cannot retrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tlie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the F’luid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains uml difficulties; it must lio 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 tlie 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 iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli and quiet the system so that one cull sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much a* possible, 1 give under this head general direction* lor all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name, it may be or ought to he cajled, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in older to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soiiuld be given while giving the “ F'luid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then mere readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will suli due the fever, l call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie 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 be goal for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inllnmmation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, n blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tlie part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the lectin 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; “tlie 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 be no trou ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu 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 be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do nay good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary; iu short, treat all the prominent symptoms ns y oil would under any otlior circumstances, giving the “Fluid” at tlie same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement.

Tonics. —Articles thatgivo tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and hitter herb*. Bcrne set or tlmroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents. —Such ns check the action of the bowels, latuditiiuni and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have tlie effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more or less Stimulating. These are tlie only classes necessa ry in treating fever*, though many ether* are generally used, but tlie Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “ relaxant ” and “sedative” than known in the materia medial. 1 shall not tux the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Pncketshl|> Duchess D’Orlean*. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: ‘Ve, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz— We took passage on the pueketahip Duchess d'Orleuna.

The great variety of symptoms and form* of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution uud habits of the sufferer*: but us the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle bus its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of iliscuse, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lund*, is the same in character uud effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites. there is in the preparation before us, offered to tlie public, The Nat mill Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the (inisoii whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and tlms restores and preserves health. Tlie remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check tlie ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tlie accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode nines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or llilious attacks during tlie sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since tlie introduction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success has 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 introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because ail the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or llilious 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 dings, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, 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 superadded to the poor sufferer's first complaint. (In this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may he 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, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessiiess, 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, 1555. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and 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 I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. 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 uu equally good work hy preventing tlie taking of other medicines which doharm. 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 the one under consideration, if tho medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect, themselves by tiie timely use of tliis preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already, lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does barm. Full directions and adv ice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. Il will often he found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where tliis is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the 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 (dace them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure,tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise he resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up liuvo tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ai;ue Cure” blown in tlie glass, and on tiie outside wrapper i* the name of tlie medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) aud tlie signature of tiie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its Success is entirely upon urs actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent an order to Ames A Ilalliday for another halt gross of your Feverand Ague Cure. It lias sold like “ llot Cakes,” and 1 have only two bottles on hand.

Truly yours, LATHKOP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. 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. Wishing your medicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We arc not in the habit of puffing medicines, hut desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsbnrn, Md. ,S 'ept. 4. Evidence from u Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Bept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady iii tlie family ot 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 Curo and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got abottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. . Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1856. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, ’ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11. C. K. R.,Ga.,Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure lias overcome ull prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tiie CUKE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New Y'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. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are 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 he noticed that the letters ot which 1 publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill auy newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greater suc cess and sale than everattendedany other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning'Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tlie warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have u single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease (irisiii” from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened bv Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
