As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent, relief, in all ordinary eases, when used sism after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they hint been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling .i little cold, which gave alarni —it could have been nothing of rmiscqnenco—lt w ould have passed oil witii ..Ml anything—that medicine hail noefloct.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case is naturally as men think at nil; and it is not until i lie individual has witnessed many cases that lie ran fully realise tlie truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though Hiicuessiui in reducing the fever, it will again rise as tlie influence of (lie “Fluid” passes oil', ns tiie exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in suen eases that I have given 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was first attacked by chills ami fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment 1 adopted, my health grexv worse until 1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time 1 have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health.

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 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. IV. G. SPENCER. 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.
