Ollier reasons might lie added, but these are doomed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are mole particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on tin, first attack, Imt will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject 'd to or Itavo heroine reduced, corresponding of course to Iho nature of thu case at the time it is first adminis tered. As tiiis remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent rliof, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y wi re not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘-It was trifling a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have liecn nothing of consequence—it would have passed oft with out anything—l hat medicine had no effect.” The general impression on the subject of fever Is such, that thoughts ooi unlike the above follow the cure of a common case i naturally us men think at all; and it is not until Idle individual hits witnessed many eases that he can fully 11 ali/,e the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very ti Ming 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 Hueccsslu) in roduciug the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the ‘■Fluid” passes off, as tlio exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in sum cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.” Iti nuirks on Fevers In Oeiieral* (in tiiis 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 and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and haliits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general cliaractcr i tii s that ol undue excitement in tlio circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less iinniitund fre quency in tlm pulse, sense of boat, dryness of the skill, debility, k c. ‘l'o show that I am not wholly alono in the opinion l advance, I quote from the eelehrafeil I’ref. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of oiir medical colleges, and consequently xtandard authority. •In page X:U, lie says : —“We bear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. liy tlie public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, •Vc. Ami systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Entcric, and o forth. Now. admitting that, fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind ol all Ibis sub-division, is had and hurtful, it encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre ribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, t Imt can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the inest dissimilar of them, lin’d 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 troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you mill !„■ will instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so os to be properly named by the most scientific, ‘fills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or vicious of mind, lint on experience at the bod ole of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases thy myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Dear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured yon will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing mol dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before tiie “ Fluid” is given, cither by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in nil of tin, most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies” and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, tlie pulse small ami wiry, with a general great 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 bo required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run week* under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will bo 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. : In bail cases, from three to live grains each ol i/uiiiine I and cupxicuni (Oayenne pepper) or some tonic atai stiniu : taut (see auxiliaries) should lie added to each dose.

As all Ilf these diseases are attended with fever, which ill fact i- the most prominent symptom, the treatment difli is line little from that of common fevers, ltomembcr never wait to learn tlie “name,” whether it isona or the other, or neither, as they all commence with freer, Imt treat it at once; govern the fever and there will lie no trouble; there will lie liut little eruption even in small pox. Tiiis, to most minds, is a now idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make tlie assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will hr cat short; attended with but little erup tion ; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running iis ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, liut ail that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this sulijeet, I have good authority; that of I'rof. Batson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874 : ” You may abate tiie force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, tlie number of the pustules by spline purge*, tic.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it mag be, but lias been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. Bee tlie account appended. (live a teaspooiiful or more, according to tlie urgency oi’ tlie case, witli a dose, of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub— sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep tlie fever under control. When the throat is alfected, any ol’ tlie ordinary gargles may la; used, and tlie surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on tlie ship Duchess d’Orleans, tlie tongue and faucus were aomuch swollen that tlie patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the tliroatwiis reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tlie 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 the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to boos little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspooiiful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will savo them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the 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.— Painful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken ut 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 the must so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. Jt will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sootli and quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. I To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie, treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under tiiis head general directions for all cases. As tlie Negative Klectric Fluid will change tiie condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control nil organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohultl be given while giving tlie “Fluid,” and iu connection with 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 thu fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie tirst dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended witli dlarrhu'U, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter 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 somo cooling application, and bathe tlie feet in hot wuter; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi cine in taking effect, after which there will lie no trou ble ; if tlie patient lias 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 the patient lias become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to doasy 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 cathartic if necessary: in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will lie astonished at tlie ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel ut a loss to know wluxt is meant liy cathartics. ,U\, as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using tlie Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz.:— Cal Iran lea.—Articles that purge or operate on tlie bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or harks, ami many pills, antibllious, Ac.; anythin l ’ known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for tiiis purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in tluonce. And one may choose calomel—another, blue muss—the third, podopliyliin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on: each may take liis choice and lie suc cessful. Tonic*.—Articles thatgive tone or strength, such as quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or thoroughwort is one of tlie best used in fevers. Asli iugciil*. Bin'll as cheek the action of tiie bowels, Laiidnnumand other preparations of opium are used; piso, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie last; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tlio only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Klectric Fluid is a better •• dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and ••sedative” than known in tlio materia medial. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, anil will’ only refer to one instance of success, that on the PHckctsliip Ductless D’Orleans. w liich cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: Me, the undersigned, certify to tlie” following, viz M e took passage on tlie packetship l)iu lless d'Orlenn*.

United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South. East or West, they all equally spring from tlie same miasmal cause. Tlie great variety oi symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but us the cause is tiie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias 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 tlie same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in tlie atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is iu tlie preparation before us, offered to the public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it couies in con tact with it. even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities tlie system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. Thu remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but tlie 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 I* effected; tlie 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 tiie system, it will immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tlie accession of GeinralDcliUily and Night Sweat*, which so often follow tlie administration of other mede cines. Tlie patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may he 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 tlie most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of tlie CUKE iu 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. M’heir 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 wliat 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, Salicine, 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 tiiis account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be 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 and Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate front 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 cither in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES li. CXIILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work hy 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 and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, ami 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 the poison 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 bo found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate ilose 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 the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour the 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 anil destroy, to a degcee commensurate with its expo sure, tlie 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. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cure” blown in tlie 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 he considered sufficient.

MASOF, Apothecary. 70 Bottles Perform 70 Cure*. Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1855. James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Hear Sir: —1 have just sent an order to Amos & Holliday for another half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure, it has sold like “ Hot Calces,” and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it lias sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, aud they were all satisfied. 1 had one ease of Chill Fever where it run four days, hut the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.

Truly yours, LATIIROP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. 1 was first attacked by chills aud fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until I 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 your medicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day's paper will be found an advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that M'm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Uomisboro, Md. 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 in tlie 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 the Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So tar it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, ind., 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. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who lias been fully cured hy only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. ‘ Vi. A.HAYLES. 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. Tlie eminent chem ist. Dr. J. K. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tiie Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I 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 on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will he noticed that the letters of which 1 publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than tillany newspaper, and prove the tact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected hy using a bottle or two during tlio 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 mid strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened hy Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
