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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. EDWARD S. WHEATON. Presd’t of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri. Hiul tike Ague for Twelve Years ! Providence, June 29, 1865. Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but worthy wumuu, who lias not been fre e from Fever.and Ague a month at a time for the last twelve yours, 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, und as four months have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma nency of tlie cure. C. A. P.

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. 24 Rottles Perform 24 Cures.

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. I. O. O. F.

N. Rowe, Merchant, Sliarpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that lie sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, und we take pleasure in bringing it before tlie notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, lioonsborn. Mil. Sept. 4. 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, ’ W. G.SPENCER. 1 Louisville No. 11, C. it. K., Gu., Jan. 1, 1856. \ 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. .JAM 10*.
