to any Simple medicine, yet persons, though tln-y have
been thus successful ill perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expert that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or loeal cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though successlill in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the Influence of the “ Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in surii cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have culled a “ synopsis.”
liemni'ksoii Fevers la (iencrnl*
On this subject I w ish to he fully understood. Ily the
lerui “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small (six
and other eruptive fevors; Imt as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they id’ course differ considerably in their
development ami exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet ail are distinguished by the same general i lmrurter
istics —that ol undue excitement ill the circulatory and
nervous systems—lnducing more or less unnatural fre
quency ill the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility. Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the ectohrafcd I’rof. T. Watson,
ot King's College, 1.011111111, whose work on the “ Princi
ples ami Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauttwrify.
On page S;U, In-says:—“We hear continually, Isith in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ily Hie public, Typhus fever, brain fever,
lliliiais fever, Putrid fever, how fever, Nervous fever,
Ac And systematic w riters are to the full as particular:
Mucous fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (iastro-Knteric, and
so forth. Now. admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind ol all this sub-division, is laul .mil hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe lor a disease according to its tuime. There Is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that 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 the folly of hunting
up or 1 colliding yourself about a “ name if you have
fever, treat it at unco as hereafter directed, anil von
null lie well instead of any distillctcliaracter being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientiflc,
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
t ions or visions of mind, Imt on experience at the bed
-ide of tlie Hick, ill hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstance!), seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name , and rest
assured you will simiii be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers, lint us cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly us possible the proper course to bo pursued in
.ill nt the most prominent fevers, though the “ Utiles”
and “ Synopsis” wilt bo amply sufllcient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

should any conversation lie allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel mere or less interested, hut he left

bill Fluids should he allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, anil 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, as parties may prefer or patients desire,
Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so us to occasion a
restlessness after the lever lias passed ott', or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast uiuyhe bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly iu degree, Is iug all of a low grade, the pnlso
small aud wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use iu separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, w hen

and Scarlet. Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fuel is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
(Hirers line little from that of roiiimon fevers. Iteinemher
never wait to learn the “name.” whether it is iillu or tile
other, or neither, as they all commence with Jeere, lint
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will In- no
trouble; there will he lint little eruption even in small
(mix. This, to most niimls, is anew idea, and doubtless
will he regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if Ireatisl as
I direct, will be. cut short; attended with hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, anil that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, blit all that I hold most dear;
besides, on'this subject. I have good authority; tlmt_of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
” Von may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down. It is believed, the number of the pustule* by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
lie done. I nave not only proven it may lie, hut has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on hoard
ship. See the account up|udecl.
Ulve li teieqMMinful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tlie feversub
sides—though one or two doses is generally siitlicieut;
Imt it should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may ho used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
lii one ease, mi the all ip Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and fallens were so much swollen tlmt the patient could
not swallow or s|s-ak. and lie was cured by dropping the
Fliliil on his tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow,
when it was given in teas|Hsiiifiil doses every hour, 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 by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all sqch cases.
Puerperal or € lilldlied Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
liialady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Klectrie Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teiispooiiful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, ns the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It.should he re
peated as lung as the fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
In connection witli this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much paiu uml suffering. It
is to inform them of tlie happy effect of the 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.—
i'aiuful menstruation will he relieved tit mice by a com
mon dose and retiring. Kestlessness, nervous irritability,
or u cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if net
the most soefuny medicine known. Il.s effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritahility of the nervous us 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 ami
healthy; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat
ment us much us possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Klectrie Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may be or ought to lie culled, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he ramoved in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
bo appropriate means, and these Holmld be given while
giving tlie “ 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 lOHt As the ‘, Fluid” alone will snl>-
duo tlie fever, l call all else auxiliary trentmeiit.
It'tlie bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the tirst dose, or soon alter, and should it
tail to operate in due time, repeat tile dose; if attended
with iliarrliiea, give something known to ho giHnl for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
puiu or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard (duster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; il’
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry anil hot, with great suffering, sponge or Imtlie the
whole surface with water nt an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine In takiug effect, after which there will he no trou
ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics uml stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in nlisence of fever or when indicated: also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced: if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any 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 has settled, give the” Fluid” and a eatliartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
us you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” lit the sumo time as directed, and success will
crown your effort*; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, mill then you will he astonished lit the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties limy feel nt a loss to know what is meant hy

when using the Fluid, and to he fully llllilerstissl hy
all. 1 w ill name a lew of the ditVcrent articles of medi

or barks, and many pills. nntihUhuis, Ac.: anything
known to ho good for such purposes.

particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by tlie different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used ill connection
w ith tlie Fluid” or while the system Is under its in

mass—the third, pndopHyllin—tin’ fourth, mandrake
root, uml so on: each may take his choice ninl he suc

Tonics. —Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Hum
ect or tlioroughwort is one of the liest used in fevers.
Astringents.—- Such ns check the action of the
I towels, l/iiidiuiuni aud other prepurutioiis of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, uot pnqioily nstriimonts,
whirh have the effect.
Stimulant*.- 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 the only classes necessa

used, hilt the Negative Klcetrie Fluid is a bel*er -dia

year.
Since the introduction of tin* CUKK in every part of
the United .States, itd success has been so complete and
unvarying os 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 agin* sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, &alieiuc. 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 are superadded
to the poor 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 l>e taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that tlieir potency depends
solely u|hui destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Kcmcdy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is

Worthy of Public; Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Kill ire I farm Icssiicss,
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, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Blmdes’ 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 iu its composition that would prove inju
rious to tin* constitution.
“JAMFS U. CHILTON, M. I)., Chemist.”
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this llemedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines w hich 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 ofdisea.se is so easily managed the one
under consideration, if the medieine be taken in advance*.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an.l
the Kamo cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in tlieir 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 liabils of life
prepared by a dist inguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to piece do this medi
cine l>y a mild cathartic or anti bilious purgative.. The
very best thing 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 w here
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must retaken
or the* operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.

Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mer

therefore, satisfied in recommending it to he all that

your Fever and Ague Cure. It has sold like u llot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it

it. amt if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had one case
of Chill Fever w here if run four days, hut the man came

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Bept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—[cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in tin* him ily ot a clergyman hen? has been taking ail
‘•AGUE BALSAM*’ for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
tin? Cure and has not. had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Rvlsain some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. 0. DUBOIS.
Idlsolicltol Evicli lice from a Physician.
Monticello, lnd., Aug. 27, 1855.
JA. Rhodes —Dear Sir —1 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. Respect full y yours,
‘ ‘ IV. G. SPENCER.
liOUISYJLLE No. 11, C. R. R.. (la., Jan. 1, 1850.
\ our Agin* Cure lias overcome all 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 every laxly. I shall do all I
can in its sab*. ‘ W. A.HAYLES.
If any laxly desires further evidences, they will find
it. in every bottle of the CURE, 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 York, certifies to its per
lect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
tin* Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
I can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers arc those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters
ot which I publish su h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
till any newspaper, ami prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie CrowiftingGlory
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 ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague.
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect ontidofe.
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 by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility oi any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
