It is to guard against disappointment In sum caws that I have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.’ Ken.arks on Fevers 111 General” on this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile nffectiuns to which the human frame isNubJect, including small pox ami other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and ill quito dissimilar constitutions • uud habits, they of course differ considerably in their development an.l exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by tho same general character istics—that of undue excitement in tho circulatory uud nervous systems—lnducing more or loss unnatural fre quency in the pulse, Hense of heat, dryness of the skill, debility, Ac. To Shew that I am not wholly uloiie in the opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrated I’rof. T. Watson, ..I King's College, hondoti, whose work mi the '* Princi ples and Practice of Physic” Is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently sUimlardauthority. Ou page 824, he says:—“We hear continually, liotli in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. liy the public, Typhus Fever, Ilrain Fever, lllliotis Fever, Putrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac And systematic writers tire to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (lastro-Knteric, ami so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tho mind of all this suit-division, is had ami hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for u disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, Mint can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even tho most 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 yomself about a “name,” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will lif well instead of any distinctcliaracter being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by t lie most scientific. Tins assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, lint on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, uud treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have be cuiiio developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.

As all of these diseases ore attended with lever, which in fact is the most promim ut symptom, the treatment differs lute little from that of com mull fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “tutme.,” whether it is one or tile other, or neither, us they all commence with /ever, but treat li at once; govern the fever and there will Ia- no trouble; there will he lint little eruption even ill alnall pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless wilt be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, Hint small pox, it treated as 1 direct, will be. cut short; attended with but little erup tiou; little or no pitting, uud that there i Hilo necessity ol its running its ordinary course. On tins I will stake not only my reputation, but all that 1 hold must dear; besides, on thiNHUbject, I have good authority; that of I’rol. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874; “Von may abate Hie force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number <j the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may he done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous eases that occurred ou board ahip. See tile account appended. (jive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of tho case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeal tho Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until thefeversuh sides—though one or two doses is generally’ sufficient; but if should lie giveu and repealed sufficiently to keep the level under control.

Puerperal or Cliiltllied Fever.. This heretofore painful, dangerous anil aktrmiug malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tho Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, an to seem to lie of little consequence. 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 be re seated us luii)'as the fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels ot coarse 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 pnin 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 tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated,— Painful menstruation will be relieved at onto hy 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 tlie most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not tlie most so of any medicino known, its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as tlie 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 use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under tiiis head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid will change tho condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may bo or ought to he called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should he appropriate means, and these sohuld bo given while giving tho “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, ns they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then bo lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. It tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it foil to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if ruuHud hy irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or intlummatiou, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wot in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tho 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 in 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 tlie patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to doasy good; for tliiß purpose I generally give some geutle emetic to cleanse tho stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach hies settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “Fluid” at tho same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have aeon, and then you will bo astonished at tlie ease w ith which you can control all febrile excitement Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to kuow what is meant by oathurtics, Ac., a* physicians are usually particular about wliat is used. 1 liavo found no such necessity when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, I will name a lew of tlie different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz.:— Cat linrtirs.—Articles that purge or operate on tho bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac: anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepntlca.—Anything known to net on the liver particularly, jairtal circulation ami secretions generally. Any of tho articles depended on by the different schools tor tills purpose, will answer when used iu connection with tlie “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tlie third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so ou; each may take Ins choice and be suc cessful. Tonics,—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone set or thorough wort is one of the host used in fevers Attriilgents, -Such as check tlie action ot tho bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have tlie effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tlio system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more or less stimulating. These are (lie only classes necessa ry *'* treating fevers, though many others are generally used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is u better “ dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” Gian known in tho materia meduu. I shall not lax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that uu tlie Pnrkctshlji Duclk sn D'OrL-niis. which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates : We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz— We took passage on the paeketship Duchess d'Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France’, and bound for New York. She sailed on tlie “.*Gi of Aii guiit, 1851, with over a hundred souls ou board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tlie smail pox broke out among the emigrants.

During the voyage, which lasted thirty-uine days, there were about eighty eases ut small pox, some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with Mini mal promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Beat on tlie oc casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We 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 COMMON ORIGIN IN MA I.AJAIA Oil MIASMA. fI'HESK diseases are common to many localities ot Hie J. United Stales; but wherever they prevail, North, s.iillli, Kast or West, they all equally spring from the same miusrmtl cause. The great variety ulsymptouis and forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age, sex, cons!itution and iiututs of tlie sufferer"; hut as the cause is Hie name, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Ity the laws of Nature, every principle bus its opposite, and for every disease, or cause ol disease, there is a re agent, or iu oilier words u specific remedy, All -Malaria, w hetfiei a - I sing from Marshes, Stagnant water, decoiupie site,u of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tlie same iu character and effect; is u poi son floating hi tlie atmosphere, causing disease U>all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws g., velum the unerring affinity subsisting between op-, pushes, there is in the preparation before us, ottered to the public, Tin- Ant dial Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison w henever it routes in con tact wiili it. even in tlie open air. and when taken inter nally completely purities tlie system affected hy it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to 1,0 entirely new, and un known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinetly claims the follow ing extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly cheek the ague in persous who have suffered tiir any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from tlie complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. I u its operation upon the poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve till the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of (jcucral Debility at is <1 Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other uieile cities. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. Hy its use Fever and Ague may ho banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, uiiil all laboring people may ho using this arti cle as a Preventive, Ami pursue their resja'Clivc avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during thu sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since tlie introduction of the CURE iu every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying us 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 tlie most candid minds, because all the resources cf science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat was still worse for ague sufferers, ull their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, Balieine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superaddeil to tho poor sufferer’s first complaint. On tills* account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Knfire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists in the United States lues been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tlie human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing tho 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. N'o class of disease is so easily managed as tlie one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents aini travelers, should protect themselves by the timely uso 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 moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or Hie operation of tho antidote will he seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —In certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more buttles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, i and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tho air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract nud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlie 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 tho words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown iu tho 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 is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will he considered sufficient.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Bept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes,—Dear Sir —I cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in tlie 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 lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got nbottle of your Cure. Ho far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of Mediciue here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself aud prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, ‘ ‘ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R„ Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your 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. W. A.IIAYLEB, If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tho CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible in:o every town it nil village in die 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. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers aro those who a 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 tlie letters of which I publish su li immense quantities are always new ami late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greater suc cess aud sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of tlie 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 have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, 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 w hose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and dr bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
