uid frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers in General*
On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Ily the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
mil other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by u great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of eourso differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished liy the same general character
istics—thut ot undue excitement ill tlie circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in tlie pulse, sense of bent, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in tlie opinion 1
advance. I quote from tlie eelehrafed Prof. T. Watson,
of King's College, liondon, whose work on tlie “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is n text book in many of
•or medical colleges, qnd consequently standard authoritg.
iin page Mil. lie.says:—“We bear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever,
,Ve. And systematic writers are to tlie lull as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (lastro-Knterlc, and
o forth. Now. admitting that fever shows Itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effort upon the
mind ol all ibis subdivision, is bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
seribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
i bat can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even tlie most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to tlmsaine cause.”
The above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of bunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” ff you have
lever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you
will In’ wi ll instead of any distinct,character being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific,
I'iiis assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on ex|>erience at tlie bcil
ddeof Hie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of eases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstancos, 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 ol’ linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have lie
oome developed before the “Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, J will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to lie pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies”
and “ Synopsis” w ill he amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tlie sick.

..I the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular Is, that
the full Isuiefli of tho medicine limy lie obtained, ami
not on aeeouutof any actual necessity of such strict ob
ervauce*.
Bilious or KeiuiKcut Fever.
(live a tcasponfid of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing elf; this
. institutes the whole treatment in all simple eases id’
lever, with such observances as are set forth in tlie
llules.” But should there he prominent ha ul symp
toms, nr known local existing causes, they should lie
attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.”
.See Synopsis.
If in any caw the bowels are particularly constipated
or cenflued, give a ratlin: lie (see auxiliaries) with tlie
lust |„,rtin; they must h. opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where file fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the Influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousful
may he given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two bout* —if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
tlilts showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult eases, w ill afford relief and aid
tin medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two tenspoousful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes mete full and soft, then only a toa
spoonfiil, to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As
tlie bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to got medicine to operate In this disease,
no tilin’ should lie lost lo get them open, give some active
eallmrtic with tlie “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates: enemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (Tubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quiniue may lie added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typints, Ship anil Pulriil
or Spoiled Fever.
As these fevers are nil of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being nil of a low grade, the pulse
small aud wiry, with a general grout depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the 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 tlie pulse
becomes fuller or larger ju volume, then to be continued
once in six or eight hours till tlie fever entirely subsides.
In bad eases, from three to live grains each of i/innine
mid capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stmiu
luut (see auxiliaries) should Is’ iuided to eiu:h dose, i lie
bowels should lie kept gently open, and small portions
of soinu input at should be given occn. ionallj, even
though the IsTwcls should lx’ very loose. Iha patient
should l*e sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.
Where tiie skm is very dry. sponging tlie surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will In’ found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, TyphoUl Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Uiven teusp>wnfnl of tlie “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boncset; or
half the quantity may he given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once ill six or eight bourn.
Tiie honest ! tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or tlje patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations', nmstaid plaster, or something ot
the kind, to lie applied ovei the Sint of pain; keep tlie
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and .Scarla
tina; or Small Bex, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As iili of these diseases nee attended with lever, which
in iiicUtf the in<wt prominent symptom, the treatment
differs line little from that ol common fevers, Remember
never wait to learn tlie “ name,” whether it is one or tho
other, or w ither, as they all commence with freer, but
treutitat once; govern lira fever ami there will lie no
trouble; there will be hut Utile eruption even in small
pox. Thin, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will he regarded with ridicule hy many, i nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will he cut short; attended witli but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, but nil that l hold most dear ;
besides, on this subject, i have good authority; thatof
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“ You may abate tlie fort* of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tin: admission that it may
In: done. I nave not only proven it may he., but has
been done in numerous eases that occurred oa board
ship. See tiie account appended.
(live a taasjNiouful or more, according to tlie urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feveraub
sirles—though one or two doses is'generally sufficient;
tait it should tio given aud repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When tlie throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may lie used, am) the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
in one case, oil the ship Duchess d’Orleans, tlie tongue
and I'auciis w ere so much swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured hy dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when il was given in teaspoonful doses entry hour, till
nil alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced mo as to enable him to take nour
ishment In ulmut twelve hours by the Fluid alone. —
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best gurgle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tin: mother is liable, will yield to tlie
Negative Kleetric Fluid (vitli such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tlie
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases.
Tlie bowels of course should he attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tiie ladies, will save them Hindi pain and suffering, ft
is to inform them of tiie happy effect of tiie Fluid iu
many of their trials. In cliild-birtli, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlio labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved tit 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 and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing ail excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as tiie circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in 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 cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name, it may be or ought to he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must Is* romoved in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
bo appropriate means, and these sohuid be given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, us 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 the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in duo timo, repeat the dose; if attended
with diiirrlnea, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or intlammatiou, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part: if
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 and hut, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surfaee with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief ami 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 iu low
fevers, in absence 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' 1 and a cathartic if
necessary; In short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
** Fluid” at the smno time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will he astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, vi/,: —
t at Hurt tvs.— Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many pills, antihilious, Ac.; anything
known to bo good forsuclt purposes.
Hepatic*.— Anything known to act outlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Auy 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 third, podophylliu—the fourth, mandrake
root, audio on; each may take his choice and 1m suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Hone-
Set or thoroughwort is one of the best used iu fevers.
Astringent*.— Such as check the action or “the
bowels, laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents.
Inch 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 ail more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are general! v
nstxl, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better - dia
phoretlc,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” •‘relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia mettica.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Pncketsliip Duchess D’Orlcans.
which cannot Ik< classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz
W’e took passage on the parkutship Duchess d'Orleans
(.'apt llutton. then lyiug in the port of Havre, France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the Dili of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on board, month
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. \\\ Seat, w ith
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which ho seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted tliirty-nilie days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox. some fever,
Ac., and not aaingle death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we arc fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness nnd certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox ami fever on hoard, ami not a death! The
fact speaks tbr Itself.

diseases are common to many localities ot the
X United states; hut wherever they prevail, North,
Kant or West, they all equally spring from the
same mlasmal pause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sefc, Constitution and habits of the sufferers; but ns tiie
muse is tin* same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
liy the laws of Nature, tyry principle has its opposite,
and 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 I he same in character and effect;* is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho
breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws
governin’ the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to
tin* public,
Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the joison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purifies the system affected hy it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to bo entirely new, mid un
known to any bat the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use;
Jt 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 bo 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
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other nu de*
cine*. The patient at once begins to roever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanic*, 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
the 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 tlie date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all the resources cf
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; aud what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saticine, &e.
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 Biiperudded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may he taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency 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 anil Entire Harmless]! css,
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 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 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to tire constitution.
“JAMES K. 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 the 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 au.l
the same 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 their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the (Jure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poisou before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
it will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antihilious 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 where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of ttie antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caulioii. —ln certain specified cases, poin
tin’ contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the 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
aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise he
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 Acue Cure” blown in (he
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.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.

o! Sarsaparillas, Pills. Plasters. Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapersby
way of advertisement*. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
It'eal t<c in Pulmonary Disease*. lam conscious that in
so doing. 1 am acting most unprofession ally, and dorogu
torily to the intercuts of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. 1 refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used w ith more success than any Os tile usual liresrrip
tiotis used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland. M. D.
.. ~ Gallatin, Miss., May 1. 1565.
o. t>. Woodman—Dear Sir: 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
to ts: letter than any other article 1 ever met with. 1
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen |h,t
ties by the hearer. Respectfully.

lliis preparation ha* uttaiuvd a wide, celebrity from
the universal success w hich lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact* any pulmonary complaint*,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties a* a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably he preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
: also be found excellent, its natural amt genial warmth
| keeping tne digestive powers in proper tone.
I Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of i1,,. medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned In. approved of, and it commended bv the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle 5s warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. Wo gmuan

Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure iu assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by
chills ami fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several

Since that time 1 have not had a single chill, and am

FiVlileuec 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
in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
tlie Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got abottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855.
.1. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —1 have been iu the practice

scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours.

Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only ono bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all X
cun in its sale. W. A. lIAYLES.
If any body 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 tlie United States, Canadas, &c. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional witli all to have
tlie. Fever and Ague or not, just us they please.
I can also say that a great many of my hugest custo
mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims ami pretensions Could not he realised! Now they
endorse them all. and it will he noticed that the letters
of which I publish su h immense quantities are always
new and into dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than everuttended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning fllovy
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 antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength In all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened l.y
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sw eats, languor and do
bility or any kind ot intemperance or dissipation.
