As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary corns, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling --a little cold, which gave alarm —It could have been nothing of consequence—it would have ponged off with out anything—that medicine had uo effect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case o nuturallv us men think at all: and it is not until the individual lias witnessed many cases that he can fully realize the truth; and even then lie may conclude them .ill very trifling cams, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful iu perhaps hundreds of cases, must . xpeet that then* will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though successful in reducing the fever, >t will again rise ns the influence of the ** Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in suen cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Remark* on Fevers in General* On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. By tho term *• fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is sutyect, including small pox md other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all art* distinguished by the same general character istics —that ot undue excitement in the circulatory uud nervous systems—iuduciug more or less unnatural fre quency iu the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King s College, London, w hose work on the Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of ur medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public. Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, j£C. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Gastro-Enterie, and so forth. Now*, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms. I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, (hat can be relied ou. They run insensibly into each other, even the m.*st 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 you self about a “ name;” if you have ever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you vJI be well nstead of any distinct character being devel oped. so as to be properly named by the most scientific. .Ins assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula i >ns or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed ide of the sick, in hundreds, aye. thousands of cases y myself and others) under a great variety of cir n stance*, seasons and climate>. Bear this in mind, u treat at once without regard to name , aud rest are l you will soon be freed from all dread of linger and daugerous fevers. But as cases may have be •uc developed before the *• Fluid” is given, either by or uuder some other treatment, 1 will describe uriefly os possible the proper course to be pursued in iof the most prominent fevers, though the Rules’ . ii - Synopus” will be amply sufficient for all those i Castomcd to attendance upon the sick. i, ales important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid.

It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should uot be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak ; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu which they may feel more or less interested, but be left iuie. to all intents and purposes. sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous iriUiis, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. ’-ch. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little w.ue, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30 “ “ “ o “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “ “** “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a 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 care necessary in giving it to children —those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, I have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, aud not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent Fever. Give a teasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oil: this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of lever, with such observances as are set forth in the “ Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to tho influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in tuking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two liours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside). As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no time should be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic witli the “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (nibbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the bead. Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship ami Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse -mall and wiry, with a general great depression, there is 10 practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still c .mparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days vill be necessary at longest to establish a permanent onvalescence. The treatment should be commenced —which may uiijodiatoly follow any other without detriment—with i teaspoonfui of •’ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued nice ia six or eight liours till the fever entirely subsides. I lu bad cases, from throe to five grains each of quinine and oa/nsi>:uin (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (*•*♦* auxiliaries) Should Is* added to enrh dose. Tin* Innvela should be kept gain ly open, and smalt |NirtioitM of some hefkthc should Im> given occasionally, even though the bTwels should In* very loose. Tin* palient < should In* sustained by nourishing and iniirtlAgoitoii* drinks—-such as aiv in common list* in such cases. Where tho skin is very dry, sponging the surface us di , listed in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should U* used during couvahscence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, l,nng or ‘Winter Fever. Give a teu*q>ouiifiil of the “Fluid” every two hour*, with a wine-glassful ofu strong decoction of lsuieset; or half the quantity may la* given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours. The boneset tea should be given warm till tin* violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over the seat of qatiti ; keep the 1 towels gently opeu. Variola, Varioloid, Bulicola anti Scarla tina \ or Small Pox, Varioloid, MraHlrt, and Scarlet Fever. A* all of these diseases are attended with fever, which iu fact is the moat prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait It* learn the “mime, whether it is ono or tho other, or neither, as they nil commence with serer, but treat it at once; govern the fever uud there will be no trouble; there will be hut little enqtiion even iu small pox. This, to most mind*, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, If treated as I direct, will be cut short ; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no neirssity of its running its ordiuary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, but u:l that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, l have good authority; that of Ifrof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: *• You may abate the force of tho eruptive fever, ami keep down, it in believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tho admission that it may be dime. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has been done iu numerous eases that occurred ou board ship. See tin* account appended. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency o the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub side*—though ono or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should be given aud repented sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, ou the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tougue ami faucus were so much swollen that the patient could uot swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid ou his tougue, 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 was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire aud per manent relief; uo alarm need be entertained, us the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the favor continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot retrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and 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 be 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 any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth aud quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy: hence its use in so many cams. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the 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 lever, or subdue aud control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to he 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 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 lime will then be lost As the 4 , 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 after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, 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, perhups, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if the 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 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 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 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; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, aud then you will be 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. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz : Cat liar tics. —Articles that purge or operate ou the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.: anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatics.— Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone sec or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such as check the action of the bowels. Laudanum 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, &c., 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 in the materia medico. I shall not tux the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Packetship Duchexs D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz We took passage on the packetshlp Duchess d’Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying in tho port of Havre, France’ and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. ,s. u t with anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative ’ Elec tric Fluid, with which ho seemed to iiave entire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing iu a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever’ Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before bean! or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

Thu great variety of symptoms and form* of disease is owing prineipally to difference iu age. sex, constitution ami habits of the sufferers; but as tin* cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle bus it* opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is u ie aigeut, or ill other words a specific remedy. All Mulariu. w bother arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decoin |k>- sitiou of uuiuutl and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character ami effect; is a poi son floating ib the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governiug the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us. offered to the public, Tile Natural Antidote to Mnluriu, which neutralizes the ]K>ison whenever it conies iu con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, aud un known to any but the 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, ami by continuing its use. according to the direc tions. a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, aud when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede cine*. 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 be banished from every family and class in the community ; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle us a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations iu 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 the CUKE 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 the most candid minds, because all the resources cf science hail been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; aud 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, &c. 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 are superndded to the poor sufferers first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken w’itli 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 uot only valuable ou account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has 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 aud 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 R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It i< 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 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 medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and the 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 and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician 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 free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will he seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln 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 the medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degtee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the 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, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown iu the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The RELIANCE FOR ITS SUCCESS Isl ENTIRELY UPON ITS actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by the proprietor. JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. TANARUS, For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 185 G. ly Druggists.

Respectfully, W. M. Mason, M. D. This preparation has attained is wide celebrity from tiie universal success which has attended its use. For coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints, this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat, will probably he preferred to any other offered to the public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will also he found excellent, its natural and genial warmth keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.

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 the 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 he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. UiiKolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —I have been iu the practice us 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. R. R.. Ua.. Jan. 1,185 G. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who lias been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all l can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. 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 ji year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters of which 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. Tlie (frowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which 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 tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects us 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.
