To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I iidvance, 1 quote from tlie I'eleliral'ed ProC T. Watsoil, of King s College, London, wlinse work on the “ I'rincl pies and Practice of Physic.” is a text Issik in many of nr medical colleges, and consequently standurdauthorily. uii page 834, lie Hay*: —“Wo hear continually, liotli in Mid out of the profession, different species of fever spo -en of.

They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above Isa great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds tlie folly of hunting up or troubling yomself about a “tinme;” if you have lever, trial it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be tui’ll instead of any ilistinctcharacter being devel oped, so ns to be properly named by tlie most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at tlie bed sido of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require us much as young, or thoso 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 ton years of age frequently having token lull doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing tlie above directions, the medicine will oe found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realised, and mauy perfectly astouished.

Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is onu or the other, or inother, as tiiey all commence inifJt fever, hut treat it at mice; govern the fever and there will lie no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in .small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, uud doubtless will be regarded witli ridieule by many. J nevertheless boldly make tlie assertion, that small |iox, if treated as I direct, will be cut short; attended witli but little erup tion; little or no jotting, and llmt there is no necessity ol its running ils ordinary courao. On thin I will stake not only my reputation, but all lliat I bold most dear; besidc.i, on tliis subject, I have good authority; licit ol Prof. Matson, previously quoted. lie says, Jiage 874: “Von may abate the force of tin) eruptive lever, and keeji down, it is believed, tile number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission lliat it may lie done.

The swilling of the throat wus reduced so us to enable Inin to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle. in all such cases. Fiierpernl or Cliiltlbrtl Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous itnd alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a toasjKHinful, almost invariably giving entire aud per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, us tlie Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fever Continues, as in other cases. Tlie 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 of the luipjiy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor ot much of its pains anil difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com mon dose ami retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by Its use; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not tlie most so of any medicine known. lis effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability uud iritability of tlie nervous as well us the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its nse in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under tliis head general directions for all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may boor ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, will'll such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuid be given while giving tho “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion require*, as they will then more readily act, producing mole general effect, besides no unnecessary lime will then be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie first dose, or soon aftei, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhica, give something known to be good for lliat 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 pluster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wot in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ico water, if convenient, or some cooliug application, aud bathe the feet in hut 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; “tlio saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the luedi ciuo in takiag effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if tlie patient inis been reduced or is much jirostra ted, give tonics ami 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 o*i tbe stomach to do any good: for this jiurposo 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lios settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “1’ luid ’ at the same time as directed, ntul success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and 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 meuut by cathartics, Ac., ns physicians are usually particular about what is used. I have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to Vie fully uudorstood liy all. I will namo a lew of tlie different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— C at Du it tea.—Articles that purge or operate on tlie 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. Ilcpntica.—Anything known to act on tho 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” oi while the system is under its in fluence. Ami one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tlie third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on: each may take his choice and lie suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such a* quinine, \ nrious barks, loots uud bitter herbs. Rone so: or thoroughwort is ouc of the best used in fevers. Astringents. —Such us check the action of the bowels. Laudauum ami other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spii its. hartshorn. Ac., tlio essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, hilt the Negative Electric Fluid is a bot'er “ dia phoretic,’’ “anodyne.” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in tho materia metlica. 1 shall not tax 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 Pnckctshlp Due Less D’Orlcan*. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: \\ e, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz 5Ve took passage on the packet-hip Duchess d’Orleaus Capt Hutton, thru lying In the port of Havre.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; but as tlie cause is the same, they will nil equally yield to a remedy that Is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle has its ojiposite, and for every disease, 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 l lie same in character and effect: is a poi son ffoatiug in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it In accordance with those unalterable laws goverinni’ the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there i in the preparation la-fore us, offered to tbe public, Tlii’ JVultirul Antidote to Malurln, which neutralizes tlie jsiison whenever it comes in eon tact with it. i t’ ll in the ojn n air, and when taken inter nally eomj.leUiy parities the system affected by it of its baneful iulliiunee. uud thus restores mid preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, aud un known to any but the proprietor, tvho 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 yuars, uud by ciintinning its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected ; the patient contin uing free from tlie complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make ils use again necessary. in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve oil the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague discuses, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely proven) the accession of Grnrral Debility uml Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mi ile eines. The jiatieut ut once begins to jeever appetite and strength, aud continues to improve until restored to jieri'cct health. lly its use Fever and Ague may he bauislied 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 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 the G'UKF; 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. Wlien 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 of science tiail been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat 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. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when sueh remedies fail, or give only temjiorary relief, tlieir poisonous effects are superudded to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should he 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 their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a jiroof that tlie Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure discuses, but that it is also Wortlxy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Kntire llarmlessness, The billowing 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, 1555. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever aud 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 Ifound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, 51. D., Chemist.” It i* a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relievo the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing tlie 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 an J tlio samo cause, and therefore all, both residents aud travelers, should protect themselves by tlio timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie 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 tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleans the stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must betaken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vossels, (dining plates, and place them in sleeping rooms; for tlie 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 ‘.estroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlie apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie 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 in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. Tiie reliance ron its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient, l’reparedand sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. I, For sale in Columbus by IUVLIN, TIIOMAS & CO., February 10, 185 G. ly Druggists.

Muring been informed of the illness of a poor, but worthy woman, who has not been fre e from Fever and Ague a month at a time tor tlie last twelve years, 1 sup plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure. She took in ull’four bottles which completely re stored her to health and strength, and ns four months have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma nency of tlie cure. C. A. P.

Some who have been troubled with the distress ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATHROP k MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever, Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it lias been to me. 1 was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of tlie different remedies aud treatment 1 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, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing y jur medicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. P. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” 5Ve are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that 5\ T in. N. Rowe, slcrchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, aud we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fcllmv, Boonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. slr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to slalariu. One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSASI” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Curo 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. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Slonticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the pructice us slcdiciue here for about three years, aud 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. It., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. l'our 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. SY. 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 in the United States, Canadas. &c. 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 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 tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all, anil it will be noticed that the letters of which 1 publish su -h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fillany newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. THe Crowning 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 front tlie atmospheric poison Malnria, to which 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 by Aaue or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
