Ity the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox .tint other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise liy a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; y.-t all arc distinguished hy the same general character istics —that ol undue excitement in thu circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in tlie pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tin- skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from tlie celebrated l’rol. T. Watson, ol King's College, London, whoso work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of .mi medical colleges, and consequently standardaulhoritg. Hii page 834, lie says ; —“We hear continually, lioth in anil out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of.

As these fevers nre all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all 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 my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will he required; still comparatively little, as they frequently ran weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. Ttie treatment should lie commenced —which tuny immediately follow any other without detriment— with a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to lie continued once in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In laid cases, from three to five grains each of and aijusicuin (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (sec auxiliaries) should ho mhlcd to each dose.

On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, Imt all that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of I’rof.

W hen tlie throat is affected, any of tlie ordinary gargles may bo used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on tiis tongue, drop hy drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoouful doses every linin', till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best gargle in all such cases.

This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to scorn to be of little consequence.

It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sootli and quiet tlio system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; lionco its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under ail circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to he called, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when suclt exist, must bo removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate means, and those sohuld be given while giving the “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 be lost. As tlio *, Fluid” alone w ill sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie first dose, or soon niter, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended wit li diarrhtru, give something known to ho good for that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inllammntiou, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard {duster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs’ or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tlie part; it violent {win in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlio feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “ tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits ami water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will lie 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 tlie patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie allayed before any medicine w ill remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every {impose; when the stomach has settled, give tlie “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at the same time ns directed, and success w ill crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, nml then you will lie astonished at the wise w ith which you can control all febrile excitement.

MIASMA. fIMiESE diseases are eoiitnion to many localities ot the X United Mates; hut wherever they prevail, North, South, Last or V\ est, they all equally spring from the same ltiiasiiial cause. The great variety ot symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as tile cause is tlio same, they will all equally yiedd to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By tlie laws ot Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause ol disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. Ail Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition ol animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a {mi son Boating 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 tiie pnhlie, Tlie JVatm-al Antidote to Muluriu, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in eon tact with it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its bunefnl Inlliience, 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 tlie following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to tlie direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; tlie patient contin uing free from tire Complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison in tlie system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious ol* ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility und NigDt Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cities. Tlie patient at once begins to lecver appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may tie using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their 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 the introduction of the CURL in every part of tlie United States, its success has lieen so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at tlie date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlie 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, 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 tlie pour sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie 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, as a proof that tlie Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Couflclcuce, Because of its Singular and Entire Ilannlcssitc**, The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists ill tlie United States lias 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 havo tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance iu its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JAMES It. 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 au equally good work by preventing tlie taking of other medicines which do harm. Tlie 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 tlie diseases being produced by one an J tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the 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 harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident iu a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It w ill often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tlie very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tlie 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 be taken or the operation of the antidote w ill be .seriously ob structed. Only Caution.— lu certain specified cases, poin tin’ contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu sleeping rooms ; for the vapor rising from tlie medicine, and also tlie air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, tin- miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be 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 Auue Cure” blown in tlio glass, and on tlio outside wrapper is the name of tlie medicine, (tlio copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and Imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used.

Having been informed of tile illness of a poor, but worthy woman, who has not been fre e from Fever,and Ague a month at a time for tlie last twelve years, 1 sup plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re stored her to health and strength, and as four months have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tlie perma nency of the cure. 0. A. P.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent an order to Ames & Holliday for another half gross of your Feveraml Ague Cure. It lias sold like “ llotCakcs,” and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it Ims sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and told them to try it. and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay tor it, and they were all satisfied. I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on tlio sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 41 Bottles Perforin 21 Cure*.

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 mouths since, and iu spite of the different remedies and treatment 1 adopted, my health grew worse until 1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since tliet time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur in-dicine 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 are notin the habit of putting medicines, but desire to say, fur the benefit of the afflicted, that Win.

This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, liaonsboro, Ml. Sept. 4. Evidence from a. Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, — Bear Sir — l cheerfully testify to tlie value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in tlie 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 he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. I’lisolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes— Dear Sir — 1 have been in tlie practice of Medicine here for about three years, nud 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. R. It,. Ga., Jan. 1, 1850. Yenu’ Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by Its merits, und given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. \y. A. lIAYLES. It any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tlie CURE, which 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. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per teet innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tlie Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. 1 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 groat claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will he noticed that tlio letters ot which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than overattended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory of tlie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using n bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlio atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie Cure is a perfect antidote,. It is also unequalled for quick ami peruiuuent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whoso constitutions have been shuttered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor ami de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
