Other reasons might be added, hut these are deemed Mitlicient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons ar * more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the llrst attack, bill will apply with equal force to coses which have been nibject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course •o the nature of the case at the time tt is first adminis tererl. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent reliH, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scaieely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tiny w i\* not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been ii. ailing of eeiiaeqiienco—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had uoeffoct.” The general impression on the subject ot fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case a.? naturally as men think at all; and it is not until ilit* individual has witnessed many casesthat he can fully realize tin* truth; and even then ho may conclude them ill very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded In any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have liecii thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local causo so great as to require particular intention, or though successful in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, as t lie exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such canes that 1 have given arid frequently refer to what 1 have called u “ synopsis.” lie in ark. a on Fevers in General* On this subject l wish to be fully understood. By the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox ;md other eruptive fevers; but us they arise by 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*; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, f King's College, London, whose work on the *• Princi ples mid Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. On page HIM, he says :—“We hear continually, both in and out ol (lie profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fevor, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, and • forth. Now. admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the atiiil of all this sub-division, is hud and hurtful. It encourages a disjtosition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued levers, that can ho relied on. They run insensibly into each oilier, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same causo.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami 1 would impress on your minds the lolly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat, it at once ns hereafter directed, and you mill tut well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel oped, so its to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based oil closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may liuvo be come developed before tho “Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for till those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick. /tides important to beobserved in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d.

It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any ircumstiinces. 4th. When the fever begins to subside,patients must he left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not he questioned ns to their wants or feedings, nor attempt to con verse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation le allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to till intents ami purposes. nth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm, us parties may prefer or )uiticuts desire. fdh. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little Wilke, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant ; or the face and Invast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether ii is onu or the other, or neither, as they ull commenee wiUi freer. hut treat it at once; govern tho fever and there will lie no trouble; there will h a but little erujitioU even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, und doubtless will ho regarded with ridicule hy many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will be. cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, ami that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On tills i will stake not only my reputation, lint all that I hold most dear; besides, on tins subject, I Imre good authority; that of prof. Watson, previously quoted. Ho says, page 87-1 “You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may ho done. I nave not only proven it may be, but bus been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. Give a tcuspoonful or more, according to the urgency oi’ the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep tlie fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, us thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Ovloans, the tongue and fuucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on Ids tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in tcuspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so its 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 cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Klectrio Fluid with such readiness, its to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a tcuspoonful, almost invariably giving entire und per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, us the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long its tho fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain 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 tho Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be 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 the most convenient ami effectual remedies formally of tlie ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing nil excitability and iritability of the nervous as well us the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally und healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I 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 all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex ported to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must bo removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as tltey will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will thou be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due tho fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose: if attended with dian luea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inllammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or sumo cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the 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 ho no trou ble ; if the patient lias 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 he allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any goad; for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, givo the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at the same time ns directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed,you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the case with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliai'iea. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians mo usually particular about what is used. I liavo found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of the different, articles of medi cine 1 lmve referred to, viz:— (at It art ios.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowell, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anythin-’ known to he good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tho articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, (Hidophyllln—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on: each may take his choice and lie suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Boms set or thorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.—Buch as check the action of tho bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, w hich have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best: ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others arc generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better •'dia phoretic.’’ •• anodyne.” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and *• sedative” than known in tho materia medico. I shall not tax tho reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one iustauro of success, that 011 the Pnckctship Duchess D'Orlcnns. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates; YYo, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz— \Ve took passage on the paeketsliip Duchess d'Ortrans, Capt liutton, then lying in tho port of Havre. France’ and bound for New York. She sailed on the stth of Au gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on Issu'd, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. YY. Seat, with anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curin ‘ in a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there were about eighty eases of small pox, some fever, 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. Seat on tlie oc casion, (Kwsesses inestimable virtues.

The great variety ui symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Hy the laws of Nature, every principle has us opposite, and for every disease, or cause oi disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a speeilic remedy. All .Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is the suute in character and effect; is a poi son floating in tlie atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op poeites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, ‘ The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it conies in con tact witli it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful inlluenec, and thus restores and preserves health, The 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 cheek tire ague in persuiiß who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by con tinning’ its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from tlie complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. lu its operation upon tlie poison in the system, it will immediately relievo all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility ami Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other mode cities. The patient at once begins to reevor appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. Hy its use Fever and Ague inAy be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe 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 ot the CURE in every part ot the United states, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. AVlieu 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 tor ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such its 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 tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On 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 bo 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 liemedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Wortliy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular amt Ent ire Harmlessiicss, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy ofit is attached to evety bottle: New York, June XI, 1855. “I 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 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 an equally good work by 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 the one under consideration, if the 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 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 tlie poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice us to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often lie 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 the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must i:e taken or the operation of the antidote w ill be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —In certain specified cases, pour tlie contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow’ vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for tho 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 and destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, tho miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie 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 the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Arue Cure” blown in tho glass, and 011 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 and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual MERITS, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent an order to Ames & llalliday for another half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure. It has sold likc“ Hot Cakes,” and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and told them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. 1 had one ease of Chill Fever where it run four days, hut the man came lo see me on tho sixth day well satisfied.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured hy your remedy, i take pleasure in assuring you of tlie benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on tho 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. — Binee that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur m.idicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREYYS. I. O. O. F. 111 another column of to-day's paper will be found an advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” YVe are not in tlie habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm.

This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Domsbaro, Ml. Sept. 4. Evidence from a 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 in the iamily of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per manent. benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and has 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. Unsolicited Evidence front n Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. .T. A.

It any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tlie CUKE, which is being intro duced as vapidly as possible into every town and village in tlie United States, Canadas. 4c. The eminent chem ist, Dr. .1. It. Chilton, of New York, 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 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 be noticed that tho 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 ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Croxvntng‘Glory (if tho Cure is Its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its flee 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 the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Y’ollow Fever, or any form of disease arising 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 hy Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind ot intemperance or dissipation.
