ivors not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling

nothing ol consequence- —it would have passed oil with

Remarks on Fevers in (ienerab
On lids subject I wish to be fully understood. IJ.v the
term “fevers.” ! eoinprehenil till febrile alt'ectlons (o
which the liiimaii frame Is subject. including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; Imt as they arise by a great
ariely of causes, anti in quite dissimilar constitutions
..ad habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all arc distinguished by the sumo general character
istic*—that nt uuilun excitement ill the circulatory ami
nervous systems—inducting more or less unnatural fre
quency ,ii the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of I lie skin,
debility, Av.
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.
This assertion is m> hypothesis based on closet .specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the licd
dde of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
;by myself and others) under n /rent variety of eir
nmstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
ind treat nt once without regard to name, and rest

ing and dangerous fevers, lint ns eases may have be

all of the most prominent fevers, though tho“ Rules”

iccustomed to attendance upon the sick.

will give immediate relief.

nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those often years of age frequently having
uikeu full doses; but for a little guide, I have given the

liildren require more than adults in proportion.

in two hount—if it —the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.

no time should be lost to get them open, give some active

used to advantage: also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel: also, cold
applications to the bond. Quinine may be added to the
” Fluid” if thought advisable. Bee Synopsis.
VorvoiiH Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
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

bowels should lto kept gently open, ami small portions
of some hepatic should Ist given occasionally, even
though the bowels should lie very loose. Tho patient
should be sustained by nourisbin,g and inucilagchous
drinks—such as arc in common use in such cases.—

As all of these diseattea arc attended with lev or, which
in fuel is Uic most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs bite little front I hut* >f common fevers. Iteuicluhcr
never wait to learn the “ anno,’ whether it is one or tie*
other, or neither, us they all commence with fm-e.r, but
treat it at mice; govern the lever and Uteri'will If no
trouble; tie re will be Out tilth eruption even ill small
pox. Tltis. to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will bo regarded with ridicule by ninny. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, v 7/ he nit short: attended with but little erup
tion; little ot no pitting, and that there is wo necessity of
its running its ordinary course. 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. He. says, page bit:
“You nuiy abate the force of the eruptive lever, ami
keep dovvu, it is believed, the number oj the, pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it nitty
be done. I nave not only proven it mug be, but has
linn douo in numerous ruses tiial Occurreil on boil I'll

(iive a Icasp'smful or more, according to the urgency
rd the casi, with a (logo of salts of castor oil; repeat tb”
fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the lever sub- j
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; !
hut it should lie given and repeated sufficiently t” keep j
the fever under cuutful. When tin; throat is affected,
uny of the ordinary gurgles may be treed, and llio
Httvfuec bathed, as thought advisable.
In one ‘ use, on the sliijp Duchessd’Orlcaus, tb'’ tongue
and faueits were no much swollen Hint the patient could
not swallow or s(M uk. and lie was cure and by dropping the
Fluid tut his longue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given in tcuspismlul doses civ/// hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so ns to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hour* by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tile throat frequently, it is doubtless the
lied gurgle in all such cases.
l*iicr|teral ot- UhililbcU Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous ami alarming
malady lo which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem
to Ire of little coimequcnco. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, ns the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re
peated us long as the furor continues, as in other eases.
Tlie bowels of course should he at tended to.
in connection with thi* suhject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded lty
the ladies, will save them much pain anti 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 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.
I shall nut tux tho reader with a long list of proofs
d.(pending mainly on the results of a trial, and will’
i only refer to otto instance of success, Unit on the
Packetsliip Dutlus* D'Orlcan*.
which cannot Im classed among ordinary certificates:
Me, the undersigned, certify to the'following, viz—
M'e t'Mik passage on the packetship Duchess d'Orlcuus
Oapt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France
and bound for New York. Sho sailed on the Oth of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls nu board, mostly
emigrants- A few days lifter leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Beat, with
anew remedy of his own. which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which ho seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few lmurs, and curitur
in a very short time. *•
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-uiuo days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever
<*c., and not a single death. All were cured with untt
seal promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fullv
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion, jiosscsses Inestimable virtues. \Ve never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage
small pox and fever on board, and not a ileuth! The
fact speaks for itself.

WHICH HAVE A COMMON OlltUlN IN
MAIjARIA. or miasma.
(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

Mnilr ly Prof. O. O. Woodman.
New Orleans, Louisiana.
J. S. PEMBERTON &, CO.,
Have received tlie appointment from the proprietor
for the solo agency of
Woodmnn's Cherry Expectorant,
the medicine that lias created such an excitement at tho
North among tho Physicians, and has been pronounced
by oil who have used it as being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant con
lains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesainine,
tho pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than anv
other Cough Mclicinc in this country.

New Orleaxs, April ‘J, 1855.
Pear Sir—Tlie public generally are fully aware of die
thousands of remislicsfor Diseased Lungs, under tho titles
of Sarsaparillas. Pills, Plasters, Liniments. 4c„ that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. .My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce tin public, or at least those
wlm are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Jteal Cue iu I'ulinoiiarg Diseases. Tum conscious that iu
” doing, lam uetiug most uuprofessioually,and derogu
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mediciue. I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used w ith more success than any of the usual prescrip
tion* used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, It. I).
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1555.
0. O. WOODHAN—Dear Sir: I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and um well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article I ever met with. 1
would be pleased to have you send mo half a dozen bot
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
w. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
tlie universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and iu fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of tho throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic, remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and gonial w armth
keeping the digestive powers In proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that j
has stood tlie test of the medieal fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by tho leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guarun
teo it to bo better than auy Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver i
Oil, or anything else now extant.

au order to Ames & Halliday for (mother half gross of
your Fever ami Ague (Jure. It has sold like “ liot Cakes,”
and 1 have only two liotUii on hand. Ouo reason it
has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, l have sent a bottle and told them to try
it. and if it did not help them, they were not obliged t”
pay for it. and they were all satisfied. I had one ease
of Chill Fever where it ran four days, but the man came
to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied.

Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am

Mr. J. A. Rhodes,— Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. Olio young lady
in tlie family of a clergyman here lias been taking au
“AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit—n few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young mail
also used the suine Balsam sonic time without” relief
until lie got alvottle of your Cure. So tar it works like
a charm. Yours trulv,

Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices bv 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.IIAYLEB.
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.
It is also unequalled for quick aud permanent effects
ns a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
