To show that I inn not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from the eelebrnfed Prof. T. M atson, l King’s College, bondon, whose work on the “ Princi ple* and Practice of Physio” is a text book in many of uu medical colleges, and consequently lUmdardaulluuity. iin pi e 834, he says:—“ We hear continually, Isdli in uurt out of the profession, different species of favor spo ken of. lty the public. Typhus Eever, llrtiin Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever, And systematic writers are to the full as particular; tlucous Fever, Ataxir, Adynamic, tlastro-Enterie, and ,o forth. Now, admitting that fever allows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is had and lnhdful. It encourages :v disposition, already too prevalent, to pre rlbe for n disease according to its mime. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, iliat can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and arc often traceable to t lie 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 n “name;” if you have lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you mill be well instead of any dlstinctcliaraotcr being devel oped, no us t o be properly named by the most scientific.

As those levers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, tho pulse mall and 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 (ally developed, a little patience will t>o required; still comparatively little, ns 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 hoars, till the pulse becomes fttller or larger In volume, then to be continued i once In six or eight hour* till the fever entirely subside* In bud cases, from three to five, grot as each of quinine ami capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or so me tonic and stimu lant (*ee auxiliaries) should be addei ito each dose.

On litis I will stake not “lily my reputation, but till Unit I bold mo.it dear: besides, on ibis suhject, I have good authority; that ol Prof. Watson, previously quoted.

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 lie appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved al 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 net tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and Iritability of the nervous as well as (lie circulatory, it will net force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet tlie system so that one cun sleep naturally and healthy ; lienee 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 Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho name it may be or ought to he called, it should ho 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 uny case, they should be appropriate means, and theso solmid be given while giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more genoral 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 first dose, or soon alter, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tly dose ; if attended w ith diarrlnca, give something known to be good for 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 bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wot iu cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tho feet in hot water; if tho fever 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 in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics mid 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 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 tlie “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms ns you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at the samu time us directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will Im) astonished nt the ease with which you run control all febrile excitement. Auxlllarlen. I Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., us physicians are usually particular about wliat is used. I have found no micli necessity when ÜBing 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:— Cat hart lea.—Articles that purge or operate on the bow els, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or I larks, and many pills, untibilious. Ac.: anything known to be goodforguch purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation mid secretions generally. Any of tho articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer w hen used iu connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—auother, blue mass—tlie third, podophyllin—the fourth, mumlrake root, mid so on: each may lake liis ohoiee and be suc cessful. Tonics.— Articles that give tune or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. 80*,.. ] set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers, j Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho t bowels. Istudamimaml other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly nstringeuts. which have tho effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. UapslriiQi (Cayenne pepper) is one of the host: giuger, spit its, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more I or less stimulating. Those lire tho only classes nocessa j v.v in treating fevers, though many others are generally ! used, but tile Negative Electric Fluid is n better “dia phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and ; “ sedative” than kuowu in tho materia me, lieu.

(IMIESE diseases arc common to many localities ol tlie X United States; but wherever tbey prevail, Nurtli, South, East or West, they all equally spring Hum the same miasma 1 eatise. Tho great variety of symptoms and forms ol’ disease is owing principally to diflereuce in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is tho same, they will all equally yield toaremedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every di.-ease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, w hether arising from Marshes, .Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is (lie same in character and effect; is a poi son floating hi the atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity sulisistiug between op posites, there is in lie preparation before us, offered to tlie pilldie. Tlu- Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it conus in con tact witli it. even in the open nh', and when taken inter nally colnjdeirly purifies the system affected by it of its hjtHid'ul influence, and thus restores and preserves health. Tlie remedy is believed to be entirely new, Slid un known to any lail the proprietor, who distinctly claims the follow in” extraordinary results from its two: it will instantly check tho ague iu persons who have suffered tor uny length of time, from one day io twenty y ears, ami tiy continuing ilsuse, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint forever; 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 the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague disease.-) and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of t.ciiri'Hl Itchlltty and Night Sweats, which so ol leu follow the administration of other nu de ciie s. The patient at once begins to rei ver appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may bo banished from every family aud class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all tailoring jieople tuny ls> using this arti cle as a Preventive, Anil 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 tlie CUKE iu every part of tho United Slates, 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 tlm most candid minds, because uli the resources if science lmd been taxed ill vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; ami what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited In poisonous or destructive drugs, hin li as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Bulicinc, ic. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the diseuse they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire snperaihled to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may lie taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as u proof that the ltcmedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy ol’Public Coultricncr, Because of its Singular and Entire Ilarmlcssncss, 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 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Ithodcs’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinino and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor havo 1 found any substance iu its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D.. Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this ltcmedy is destined not only to relieve tho 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 mediciue be taken in advance. This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents ami 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, ami so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and hubits of life prepared by a distinguished l’hysician 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 antibilious 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 tree the biliary passages, ltcmcnilier that where this in necessary, or there is eostiveness, it must jik taken or Ihr operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—lu certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and placo 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, w ill counteract and destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu tho apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “ItuoiiKs’ Frvkii and Ague Cure” blown in tlie glass, and on tho outside wrapper is tlie name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits aud imitations. Tub reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, w hei'cver introduced and used. Those will ho considered sufficient. Prepared and sold liy tho proprietor. JAMES A. RHODES. Providence. 1!. i. For side in Columbus by KTVbIN. THOMAS .t 00., February 10, ISSG. ly Druggists.

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 cinincut chem ist, Dr. J. It. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to havo the Fever and Ague or not, just as tlicypleaso. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take tlie 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 arc always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, anil prnvo the fact of a greater suc cess anil sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crovvntnglilory I of lhe Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tlie warm and sickly sea sons. not a man woman or child in the United States would ever havo a single attack of Fever and Ague. Bilious or Follow Fever, or any form of diseuse arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is n perfect antidote.
