liemurks ou Fevers in General*
tin this subject l wish to lie fully understood, ily the
leriu “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human Iruino is subject, including small pox
mil other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, mid in quite dissimilar constitutions
mil habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or ty[H's;
vet all are dietanguished by the sumo general cliaractor
i lies —that ol undue excitement ill the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
Tc show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
..I hing's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently shnularduntlmritg.
uii page Slid, be says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of tilt) profession, diflurent species of fever spo
ken 01. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever,
llilions l ever. Putrid Fever, l.ow Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Entcric, ami
o forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
un ions forms, I am persuaded tlmt. the clfoct upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bail and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
icribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
Unit can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
Tim above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your minds the fully of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name,'” if you have
fever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you
mill, he well, instead of tiny distinetcharnctcr being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientiflc.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience ut the bed
ole of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of eases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
i unistanees, seasons and climates. Dear this in mind,
.mil treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing mol dangerous fevers. Dot ns cases may have bc
i ome developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Itules”

As these fevers are all of one character, differlug
mainly iu degree, being nil of a low grade, the pulse
small ami wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use iu separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
.’he Common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
•convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced —which may
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 be continued
once in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to live grains each of </v ininr

Ar all of these diseases iii e attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
ddlirs hue little from that of common fevers, Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with /ever, hut
treat it at onee; govern the fever and there will lie no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, li u new idea, and doubtless
will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated us
i direct, will h( cut riant; attended witli but little eru[e
lion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this J will stake
not only my reputation, lint all tliut 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I.have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“ you may abate the force of the eruptive fever, anti
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustule* by
spline purges, Ac.” Here ts the admission that it may
be done. I nave not only proven it mug he, but ha*
been done in numerous cases tlmt occurred on bottl'd
ship. See tlio account appended,
(live a teospoonl'ul or more, according to the urgency
of tlie case, with a (lose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid onee in two hours if necessary, until the lever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sultieient;
hut it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one ease, on tlie ship Duchess (l’Orlcans, the tongue
and fauens vvero so much swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or speak, mid ho was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonlul doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in a Hon t twelve hours by the Fluid alone,—
Used to wet the tiiroat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in ull such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
imihidy to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to tlie
Negative Klectric Fluid with sueli readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonlul, almost invariably giving entire aud per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should hu re
peated as long as tlie fever continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of course should lie attended to.
In connection witli this subject, l 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 the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing (fleet deprives till! labor ol much of its puiiiN
and difficulties; it must lie tried to he appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Kestlessncss, nervou.} irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient and
etfectuui remedies formally of the ills of females, if not
tlie most soofany medicine known, its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
aud iritubiiity of the nervous as well as tlie circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so tliut one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use iu 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 eases. As the 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 lie called, it should be giien
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 iu order to effects
permanent cure.
When sucli indications occur in any case, they should
bo appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection witli it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due tlie fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, ami should it
fail to uperate m duo lime, repeat the dose; if attended
witli diarrhoea, give something known to lie good for
that, complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard piaster, a 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
tlio feet in hotwuter; if the fever is very high, skin
dry aud hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface witli 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 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 will remain on the stomach
to do nay goad; 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” and a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as yon would under any other circumstances, giving the
” Fluid” at liie same time uisdireetod, ami success will
crown your eflorts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, aud then you will la astonished nt the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel nt a loss to know what is meant liv
cathartics, Ac., as physicians me usually particular
ntiout what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
wlieu using tlie Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will mime a tew of the different ‘articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz,:—
t ut hurt tea. —Articles that purge or operate on the
lvowels, sucli as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tlie roots
or barks, aud many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything
known to lie goodforgmli purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the 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 tHint, po.lopliyllln—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice ami he suc
cessful.
Tonies. —Articles [hat give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and Hitter herbs. Done
set or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as cheek the action of the
bowels. laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tile effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the host;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all molt!
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating levers, though many others are generally
used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a bettor ••diii

“sedative” than known in the materia malieu.

WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
NAAiiAAIIiV OJA MIASMA.
fIMIESE diseases are common to many localities of the
JL Duited (States; but wherever they prevail, North,
(south, East or West, they all equally spring from tlie
saute miiujinal cause. The great variety of symptoms und
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; hut us Hie
cause is the same, they will ull equally yield to u remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
ily the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
aud for every disease, or cause of disease, 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 lands, is the same iu character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in tile preparation before us, offered til
the public,
Tire Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, ami thus restores and preserves
health.
Tlie remedy is believed to ho entirely new, and un
known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims
the 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 the direc
tions, a radical cure will he 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 the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
w ill entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Nigkt Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other meile
cincs. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
liy its use Fever and Ague may 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 of the CURE in every part of
tlie 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 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 scientiflc or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, .Sulicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when sucli remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
Ou this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret F’ever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may lie taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their jiotcncy 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 ami Entire llarmlcssiiess,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in 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’ F’ever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine anil Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found
any substance in its composition tliut would [.rove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, tlmt this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good w ork by
preventing the taking of other medicines w hich do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
thin 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 mil
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents mid
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, anil 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
tlio poison beforo it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
ti Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of w hich is to cleanse the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution,—ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of tlio Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and [dace them in
sleeping rooms: for the vapor rising from tlie medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after tlio liquid is evaporated, xvill counteract
unit destroy, to a ilegiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This inode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in w hich this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the
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 and imitations.
Tiie reliance fob its success is entirely iton its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
w ill be considered sufficient.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ihe
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under tlietltles
of Sarsaparillas, Pills, Plasters. Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or ut least those
who ure afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
b'eal I'se iii Ihdminiarg lH*ea*e.s. lam conscious tlmt in
so doing, I urn acting most unprofessionally.aud derogo
tin ily to the Interests of Medical Science uml the regular
Practitioners ol Medicine. I refer to M isiilmau’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used w ith more success tliiin any of the usual prcscr)i>-
| lions used by Physicians, ,
J. M. Maitland, M. D.

I“• “iTOSIAN—Dear Sir: 1 have given your Cherry
! Expectorant a fair trial mid um well pleased with its ef
j teds; better than any other article I ever met with. I
I N’ oul.t be pleased to have you send me half a dozen Kit
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason, M. I).
j fhis preparation has attained a wide celebrity from

coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,

j and Its soothing power to all irritations of tlie throat,
j w ill probably he preferred to any other offered to the i
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy.it will !
I also he found.excellent, its natural and genial warmth
! keeping the digestive powers in proper tune.
Remember that this D tlie only Cough Medicine that i
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sane-
I ioned by. approved of. and rei .imuv'nded by the leading I
1 liy sit mils of New I ork city. Every Kittle is warranted j
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver

Soe what the President of the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, suys of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote t” M alal ia:
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1805.
HAYING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by tliu celebrated chemist Dr. J. it. Chilton,
of New York city, iu laver of Rhodes’ Fever und Ague
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications lor it, 1 was induced to send to Dr. .Rhodes
lor tlie medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer. 1 am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent
an order to Ames & Ilalliday for another half gross of
your Feverand Ague Cure. It lias sold like “ liotCakcs,”
and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
hits sold, is because w hen I have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and tuld them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were net obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had one case
of Chill Fever where it run fouriKys, but the man came
to see me on tlie sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

But not a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out

Dr. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not
failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent

dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining.
Truly yours, LATIIROP & MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, XSSS.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the tc no fit 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
ami treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until
1 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 jur m idieine the success that it merits,
T remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

cine to be good, und we take pleasure in bringing it

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
iu tlie family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months xvithout, 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 somo time without relief
until lie got a bottle of your Curo. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Moxtxcello, Iml., Aug. 27, 1855.
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,

\ our Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who lias 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. W. A. HAYLES.
if any body desires further evidences, they will find
it iu every bottle ot tile CUKE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village
in tlie United States, Canadas. Ac. Tlie eminent chem
ist. Dr. .1. R. Chilton, of New Y'ork, certifies to its per
fect 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 are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure oil commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will he noticed that tlio letters
of which l publish su h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the tact of u greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
THc 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 the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child in the United States
would over have a single uttack 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 and permanent effects
jus ii Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or llilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
