Tlie above reasons are more particularly applicable to Che iinmediuto treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or huve become reduced, corresponding of eourse *o tlie nature of tho case at the time it is lirst. adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual andpenmi m lit relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons run scarcely realize that they hud l,ecu really much sick, and very naturally conclude they were not attacked with fever, and if ho, “it was trifling i little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—lt would haVo passed off witli mit anything -that medicine had no effect.” Thegoneral impress ion on tho subject of fever is such, that thoughts ■ eil unlike the [alsive follow the euro of a common caso n iimliiihll.v as men think ut all; and it is not until Hi.’ Individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude thorn ill very trifling eases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they hnvo been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of coses, must i vpeet that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great ns to requlro particular ittcutlon, oi though successlul in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes off. as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in snen cases that I have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Its murks on Fevers in (h'lin uh On this subject I wish to he fully understood.

To show Hint I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from tin. eelebrafed Ih’of. ‘l*. Watson, and King'd College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of our medical colleges, anil consequently standard author!/y. On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo sen of. li.v the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever, A.. Aml systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mnoons Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Knterlo, and so forth. Now, admitting Hint lever shows itself under various forms, l mil persuaded that the effect upon tho mind of ail this sub-division, is hod and hurtful, it encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre s libe for a disease according to its name. There is no hue of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;'’ if you have fever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you mill Im well instead of any distinoteharacter being devel oped, sons to lie properly named hy the most scientific.

Hut as cases may have be come developed bofore the “ Fluid” is given, either hy neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe i” briefly us possible the proper course to lie pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will he 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, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is uo practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, w hen 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 teaspoon fill 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 bod coses, from three to live grains each of quinine. and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should ho added to each dose.

As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Itemeniber never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is onu or tlie other, or neither, as they all commence with freer, but treat It ut once; govern tjie fever and there wilt bo no trouble; there will be but little, eruption even in small pox. Tiffs, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will, be cut short ; attended vvilii but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, hut all that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: “ Vou may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, In:.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it maybe, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred ou board ship. Bee the account appended. (live a tcaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may lie used, and the surface bathed, us thought advisable. In uno case, on the ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured hy dropping tho Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat wils reduced so us to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargk in all such cases.

It should be re pented us long us the fever continues, us in other cases. The bowels of course should he attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remurks, which, if regarded by the Indies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in ninny of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will he relieved at 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 formally of the ills id’ females, if not the most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritnbility of the nervous tu well as the circulatory, it will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one cun sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I giveunder this headgeuerui directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tho condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may he or ought to be 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 be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As tho ‘,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, l call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first ilose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, 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 intlammation, 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 tho head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if the lever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bat-lie the 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 the medi cine ill taking effect, after whicli there will he no trou ble; if the 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 tlie patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, tiiat 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” and a cathartic if necessary: in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; iudeod, you cannot realize it. till you have seen, and then you will l>e 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. I have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood hy all, 1 will name it tew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz : Cat Hurt ten.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, mid many pills, untibilious, Ac.: anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation uml secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on hy the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection w ith the •• Fluid” or while tlie system is under its In fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, poilophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and lie suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such os quinine, various barks, roots and hitter herbs. Itouc set or tlioroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such as check the action of the bow els. Liudiiuum and other preparations of opium are used, also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which 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 all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,*’ “anodyne.” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and •• sedative” than known ill tho materia vtrtlica. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the I'm-krtslii|> Duchess D’Orlcans. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz W’e took passage on the pucketship Duchess d’OiTeaus.

IIHIKHK diseases are common to many localities ot the X United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring iroui tlie same miosuia! cause. The great variety ot symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy Hint is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws ol Nature, every principle has its opposite, ami for every disease, or cause ol disease, there is a re agent, or In other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from .Marshes, Staguant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing Die unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to tlie public, The Natural Antidote to Mulurla, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact w ith it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful ihfiuunce, and thus restores and preserves health. ’Tlie remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known tu ally but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: it will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by containing its iihu, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be effected ; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent expusure to malaria should make its use again necessary. lii its operation upon the poison in tlie system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil . ions or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely preventtlie accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede cinos. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect lion It 1 1 .

Since the introduction oi 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 (lie resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and 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, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give ouly temporary relief, their poisonous effects are snperadded to tlie pour sufferer’s first complaint. Op this account ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert they may lie taken witli perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that tlie 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 Kill ire Ilarmlessnesg, Tlie following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June XI, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it lor Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have Ifound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. 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 tlie taking of other medicines which do harm. Tlie 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 ns the one under consideration, if tlie medicine lie taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and tlie same cause, and therefore nil, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tlie Cure ns a preventive, and so destroy tlie 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 lie found necessary to precede this medi cine hy a mild cathartic or untibilious 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 ol’ tlie antidote will lie seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —In 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 tlie medicine, mid also the air Availed across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degice commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise he resorted tu when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tlie glass, and on tho outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor.

One reason it lias sold, is because w hen I have heard of a ease of Ague or Chill Fever, i have sent a buttle and told them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were oil satisfied, i had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it lias been to me. I waR lirst 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, aud am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur medicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS 0. 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 Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has 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, Boonsburo, Ml. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir —I cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady iu the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AOXIE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days sinee she got a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used tlie same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticei.lo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —I have been iu the practice of Medicino 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. It. R., a., Jan. 1,186 G. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tlie CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village iu tho United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. it. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tlie 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 he realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of whicli I publish sn h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlte Crowning Glory of tlie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, whicli 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 whicli 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 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.
