As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used ms,h after ilie attack, perrons can scarcely reuli'/.e that they Inal been really much sick, and very nuturally conclude tin y w ars not attacked with fever, ami if so, -il was trifling —ft little raid, which gave alarm —it could have, been nothing of rouse,pinnee—it would have passed oil with out anything—Hint mcdjdnc laid noetleet.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the euro of a common ease as naturally as men think at all; ancl it is not until the individual has witnessed many eases that lie can tally realize the truth; mid even thou he may conclude them all very tiitliug cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have boon thus successful in perhaps hundreds of rases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success.ul 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 m mien eMus that 1 have given and frequently refer to what 1 have culled a “synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers in General 1 On tliis subject 1 wish to he fully understood. ISy the term ‘’levers,'’ 1 comprehend all febrile alfeetious to which the human frame is subject, including si mill pox and other eruptive fevers; but ns they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar windilutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by (lie same general eharaeter istics —that oi undue excitement in tiio circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tin. skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated ITof. T. Watson, i King’s College, Condon, whoso work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently slandardanthorily. On page 834, he says“ AV’e hear continually, both in .indent, of the profession, different species of lever spo ken of. lty l lie public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, unions Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac And systematic writers are to (lie lull ns particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Entcrlc, and o forth. \mv, admitting that fever shows itself under various fin ins, I am persuaded that the effect upon tile mind of nil lliis sub-division, is laid and hurtful. Tt encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre erihe for n disease according to its name. There is no Him of genuine distinction between continued fevers, lhat can ho relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, ami are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you sell'about a ‘‘name;” if you have fever, treat il at once as hereafter directed, and you ‘"ill be well .nsteod of any dislincteharaeter being devel oped, so ns to lie properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at tile bod ide of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of eases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at onoo without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have be come developed hefore the “ Fluid” is given, cither by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly ns possible the proper course to be pursued in ill of the most prominent fevers, though the” Rules” and “Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. /{tries important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid.

Flninld patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little piril, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast may lie bathed iu cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—thorn* of ten years of age frequently having t.ikcn full doses : but fur a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, ns a general rule, hlldren require more than adults in proportion. By observing the aliove directkuis, the medicine will lie found agreeable In all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished.

As the bowel* are generally routined, and it is frequently very difficult to got medicine to operate in this disease, no time should be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “ Fluid'’ and repeat as may be neces sary till It operates: enemas (Injections) may also lie used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (nibbing) w ith the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may he added to the ” Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As those 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 no practical uso In separating them—at least so far as my treatment Is concerned. In those 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 ostablish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—wliich may immediately follow any other without detriment—with n toaspoynful of Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse ireoomes fuller or laiger iu volume, then to be continued one* in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In bad eases, from three to five grains em li of quinine anil capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or sunn- tunic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should lie added to each dose. The bowels should be kiq>t gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should la* given occasionally, even though liie b.Twcls should he very loose. The patient should ho sustained by nourishing and miiellagenou.s drinks—such as are in common use in #u< It cases.■- Wlicre the skin is very dry, sponging tli” surface as di rected in bilious ten r, will be found advantageous.

Variola, Varioloid, liuhcolu anil Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, ami Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are nltcndcd with fever, vvlieli in fart is the most prominent -yniptum, the treatment differs bun little, from that, of common level s. Remember never wait to learn the whether it is one or the other, or wither, as they all commence with ,/< err, but treat it at onee; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will la, bill little eruption even in siiihll pox. This, to most li l l nils, is anew idea, and doubtless will lie regarded with ridicule by many. I iievertlu.de boldly make I lie assertion, that small pox, if treated us I direel, mill In cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On tills 1 will -take not only my reputation, lint ail tiiul i hold most dear; besides, on Ibis subject, I have good authority; tlint of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: ” Von may abate tho force of the eruptive tover, anil keep down, it is believed, the number oj the, pustules by spline purges, he.” Hero is the admission flint it may lie done. I nave lint only proven il. may be, hut has been done in numerous eases that occurred on board ship. Fee lie’ account appended. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to I In- urgency of the case, with u done of salts or castor oi I; repeat the Fluid olice in two hours il necessary, until tin- li \crsub sides —though one or two doses is genera,ly sufficient; but it should liu giveu and repented sufficiently to keep the lever under control. W hen the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may Is- used, and the surface, bathed, as thought advisable. In one rase, on tint ship Duel less d’Orleaus, lie- tongue and faueiis were soinueli swollen that the patient could not swallow or spook, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on ids tongue, drop by drop, till lie could sw allow, when it was given ill tea-pooiil'll 1 doses ecery hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it, is doubtless the b‘Ul gargle, in all such eases. Plurpcral or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and iilaruiiiig malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as die Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should bo re peated as long as the l'evor continue,s, as in oilier 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 save them much pain and suffering, it is to inform them ol’ the lmppy effect of the Fluid iu many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to bo appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be 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 for many of the ills of females, If not the most so of auy medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooili and quiet tiio 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 nil cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will cliango tho condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be 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 bo appropriate means, and these sohuld 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 the Fluid” alone will #ule due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treafnient. If the bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended with diarrluea, give something know n to lie good fur that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “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, ico 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 bathe 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 iu taking effect, after which there will be 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 the patient has become re duced; if there Is nauseu and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose 1 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, ami success w ill 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.

The Aul iti'ul Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally Completely purifies the system affected by it of its baueliil influence, and (Inis restores and preserves health. Tile remedy is belie veil to he entirely mw, and un known to uny but the proprietor, who distinctly claim# the following extraordinary results from its use; It will Instantly cheek the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, trout one day to twenty years, and by continuing its Use, according to the direc tions, a radical i urn will lie effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint lor ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon the poison iu tlie system, it will immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when file disease is cun and, it will entirely prevent the accession of Gi-.itcrai Debility and Niglil Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cities. Tim patient at once begins to lecver appetite and strength, mid eonlimies to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may lie banished from every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me chanics, mid nil laboring people may lie using this arti cle a# n Preventive., And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safely from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly Season, which is often to them the most valuable part of tlie Since the introduction of tlie CURE in every part of the United States, its success lias 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 ol its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all (lie resources cf science bad been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wlmt 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, SnHeine. 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 .tro superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. Ou this 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 tlieir potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that tiio 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 Hai-nilessness, The billowing certificate from one of tho most celebrated chemists ui the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1555. “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 tho constitution. “JAMES 11. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It ii a stubborn fact, therefore, tlint 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 i# so easily managed as tlie one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by ono anl tlie 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 Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet aud habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resilient in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or autibilicus purgative. The 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 this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it mist re taken or the operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. — In certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, i and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising front the medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud licstroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in tho apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lai resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tlie glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) mid the signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced mid used. These will he considered sufficient.
