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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tin* Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the (Kiisou whenever it conu s in con tint with it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inlcr nally completely purifies the system atlW ted by it of its baneful iiilluencc, and tlniH restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new. and un known to any Imt t lie proprietor, who distinctly claims tin* following extraordinary result* from its use: It will instantly cheek the ague in persons wllV* have sutiered 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 over; unless Muhseijuent 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 will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility anil Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode* cines. The patient at once begins to n ever appetite and strength, ami continues to improve until restored to perfect health.

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 also 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.

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?

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.
