I am persuaded that tho effaot upon the mind ol all this sub-division, is hiul and hurtful, it encourages a disposition, already t<s> prevalent, to pre *. rihe for a disease according to its name.. There is no one of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied oil.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for w lioui a teaspoon fill is u common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular rare necessary in giving it to hiidreii—those often years of age frequently having taken full doses; but lor a little guide, I have given the above table, with tlie remark that, as a general rule, liihlreii require more than adults iu proportion. By observlug file above directions, lit.- medicine will lie found agreeable in all of its elfects, the expectations -I the most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that the full benefit of tho medicine may he obtained, and not on aecouut of any actual necessity of such strict ob ■ ervanoes. Bilious or Ki iuit tent Fever. Give a teaspouful of “ Fluid” (nee rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of fiver, with such observances us are set forth iu the ’ Bull's.” lint should there lie prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.” Bee Synopsis. lfin any cans tlie bowel- are particularly constipated -a couliued, give a lallia. lic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must lie opened or tin* fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not parlicularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on liy medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousfiil muy he given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two houm —if it—the pulse—lias not been softened, tfius showing tin. medicine lias taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, iu these difficult cases, w ill afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two tcaxpoonsful and repeat every two liours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoonful, to he discontinued as the fever subsides. As the bowels ere generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to opera to in tills disease, no time should la. lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “Fluid” and repent us may lie neres -ary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie used to advantage; also, mustard to tlie extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to tlie head. Quinine may he added to the ” Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Frvrr, Typhus, Ship nnl Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a lew grade, the pulse •mall and w iry, w itli a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In them* low fevers, w hen fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still comparatively little, as they frequently mu weeks under the common treatment, while with this hut a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should he commenced —which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with s teaspoonftii of “ Fluid” every two liours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger >n volume, then to bo continued cnce in six or eight hour* till the fever entirely subsided. In laid oases, from tbreetofive grains each of quinim and capdrum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (sue auxiliaries) should he udded to each dose. The bowels should Ih. kepi gently open, and small portions ol solitv hepatic should lie given occasionally, even though tlie liffwola should lie very loose. The patient should Is- sustained by nourishing and mueilagenous drinks —-such as are iu common use in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry,sponging the surface as di rected iu bilious fever, will lie found advantageous. Tonics should lie used during convalescence, iu all eases which have heroine reduced. l’lM-.uinoiiiu, Typhoid Pneumonia, hung or Winter Fever. .

Variola, Varioloid, itiilicoln mill Scarla tina) or Small Fox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As ail of these diseases are attended with fever, Which in fact is tho most prominent symptom, the treatment dilh in hue little from that qf common fevers, lteuicmlier never wail lo learn tlie “mime,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, us they ull commence with freer, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there w ill lie no trouble; there will he hut little erajitdnl even iu small jinx. Tills, to most minds, is u new idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make tlie assertion, that small pox, if treated its 1 direct, will he cut short; attended with but littlucrup tion; little or no pitting, ami that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake net only my reputation, lint all that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: *■ Vou may übate tlie force of tho eruptive fever, amt keep down, it is believed, the a amber of the pustules liy spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may lie done, i nave not only proven it may he, hut has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. Sec the account appended. • live a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub sides —though pne or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should bo given and repented sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, liny of the ordinary gargles limy be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orlaana, the tongue and faucus were So much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tlie Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses ( Very hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best yuryle in all such cases. Puti'pcrul or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonlul, 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 Lie re peated as long as tlie lover continues, as in other coses. Tho bowels of course should be attended to. Iu connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tlie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of tlie happy effect of tlie Fluid iu many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and southing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring, ltestlessness, 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 tlie ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility of the nervous as well as tlie 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 tlie treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid will change tlie condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tiie name it may he or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when siudi exist, must lie removed iu order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur iu any case, they should he appropriate means, aud these sohutd he given while giving tho “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will thou more readily act. producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then he lost. As tlio ‘,Fluid” alone will sub duo tlie fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlio bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due tirno, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhu a, give something known to he good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho “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 tlio head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlio feet ill hot water; if tlie lover is very high, skin dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou ble; if the patient Inis been reduced or is much prostra- give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low level's, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tlie patient lias become re duced: if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine w ill remain on the stomach to do any good: lor this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” mid a cathartic if necessary; ill short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms us you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “Fluid” at tlio same time as directed, and success w ill crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will lie astonished nt the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement.

Tho great variety ol symptoms and forms of disease is owing princijislly to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; imt as the cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove t Imt cause. liy tlie 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, Btaguant water, decompo sition of animal aud vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tlie some iu character and effect; is a poi son floating in tho atmosphere, causing diseasetoall who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is iu tlie preparation before us, offered to the public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Muluriu, Which neutralizes tlie poison whenever it conies in con tael wiiii it, even iu tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and finis restores anil preserves health. Tlie remedy is believed to bo entirely new , mid un known to any hut tlie proprietor, wiio distinctly claims tlie 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 lie effected; tlie patient contin uing free from ihccoinplalntforever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. lit its operation upon tlie poison in tlie system, it will immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it w ill entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Niglif Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede elnofi. The 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 front every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics„und 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 tlie introduction of tlie CURB 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 the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tiie most candid minds, because ail flio resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilions diseases; and whatwas still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, sucli as Arsenic, Quinine. Mercury, Solicjnc, Ac. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful aliuiit 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 Kntire Ilai-mlessness, Tho following certificate from one ol'tlio most celebrated chemists in the United States lias 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 I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tlie human family from malarious diseases, hut 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 tlie medicine he taken in advance. This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one an! tlie samo cause, and therefore all. both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tiie timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself iu a .violent attack. Take the Cure us a preventive, and so destroy tin* 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 la. found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tlie very best- tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where tins is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must betaken or the operation of tiie antidote will lie seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour tlie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu sleeping rooms; for tlie vapor rising from tlie medicine, and also tlie air wafted across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, alter tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise be resorted lo when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure “ blown in tlie glass, ami on tlie outside wrapper is the mime of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature ot tlie- proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance eor rrs success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

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 has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Pliysician. 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. K. R, Ga., Jan. 1, 1850. Your Ague Cure Ims overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, ami de sired mo to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. \y r . A.HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tho CURE, which is being intro duced rapidly as possible into every town and village in the l uited States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. I)r. .1. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the 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 tlio 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 tho letters of which l publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than Ull any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie f rowning Glory* of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using u bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a mini 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 tlie 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 to all whoso constitutions have heen shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind ol intemperance or dissipation.
