and that pleasant in itn effect*.

a dear triend is sick.
r>t It. Kconomy of Ilenlfli.— As the eyNteni

lit li. Economy of hlfr.—An the cure Ueffected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in acorres|ioiidinK degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might lie lidded, lint these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasoiiN are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack. Iml will
apply with equal force to cases whicli have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of courae
*o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectiml ami perma
nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “It was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of censequence—lt would have passed off w ith
out any thing—that medicine had no effect,” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure ol a common case
as naturally as men think nt all; aud it is not until
llie individual has witnessed many cnsestiiat he can fully
realize the truth; and even then lie may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will eases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though successful in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
agaiust disappointment in such enses that i have given
and frequently refer to what i have called u “synopsis.”
lie murks on fevers In Ueiierul*
On this subject L wisli to he fully understood, ily the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other erujiUve fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
aud habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by tlio same general character
istics —that ol undue excitement In the circulatory and
nervous systems—lnducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, i quote from the celebrafeil Prof. T. Watson,
ol King's College, hondoii, whose work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
(in page 834, lie says;—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever s|ai
keti of. By the public, Typhus fever, llrain fever,
Bilious fever. Putrid fever, how fever, Nervous fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, G astro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now 1 , admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mii>.d id’ all I his sulKlivislon, is had ami hurtful. It
eueouruges a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribo for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
Unit can lie relied on. They rim insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
aud 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will he well instead of any distinctoliaraeter being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most eciontiflc.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of tlio sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons aud climates. Hear tills in mind,
aud treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured yon will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible tile proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
aud “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.
Hules important to he observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should lie given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
‘.id. Patients must lie free from all currents of air,
(thougn there should always lie frue ventilation in the
sick roum,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must be continued whenever tho fever subsides,
or is evidently passiug off; to be resumed when it
liegius to rise again, should such be the ease under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
bo left perfectly quiet.; free from all excitement; should
not 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
ueous influences, induce them to rise or sjieak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but lie left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
6th. Klu'uis 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
drinks, lemonade, tiny simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
litb. Should patients experience any oppression or
fainlness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a littlo
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tlio face and
breast may be bathed iu cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSKS.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 iu> under 2 years, “ sto 18 “
“ “ 2 “ 6 “ l2 to 30 “
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60 “

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful Is a common dose. Old persona do not
require aa much as young, or those iu the prime of life;
uor females, ns a general rule, as much us males.
There iB 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, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
childreu 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, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may tie obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
lltliou* or ltrinlttrnt Kvr.
Oivt t kwiiwiiAll of “Fluid” (ace rule Ist) once m
two hours, till the fever is evidently pausing off: this
constitutes the whole treatment iu nil simple cases of
fever, with such observances ns are set forth iu the
“ Hnlea.” But should there be promiueut local symp
toms, or know u local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
Dee Synopsis.
If in any case the b ovols are particularly constipated
or confined, give a • illiartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first |iortion : 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 the influence of medicine —not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, ami even repeated
in two houre—if it—the pulse—lias not l>eeu toflrntd,
thus showing the tnediciue has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or apirits and
water, in theae difficult cases, w ill afford relief and aid
the medicine much in takiug effect.
Congestive fever.
Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pnlso becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subsides. Aa
the lvowels 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 opeu. give some active
cathartic with the “Fluid” ami repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates: enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may he added to the
Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis,
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevera are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far aa
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hut a tew 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 hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger lu volume, then to be continued
•nee in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
In bud cases, from three to five grains each ot i/uinine
aud capsicum (Cayenne pepper j or some tonic anil stimu
lant (sec auxiliaries) should lie added to each dose. The
bowls should In- kept gently open, and small |iortions
of some hepatic should lie given occasionally, even
though the In,weis should be very loose. Tho patient
should he sustain'd by nourishing and uiitr'ilageiioiis
drinks—such as are in common use in such rases.
Where tile skiu is very dry, sponging the surface’ as di
rect..l in bilious lever, will in- found advantageous.
Tonics should In-used during convalescence, in all earn s
which have heroine reduced.

then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
Tke boueset tea should bs given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then

the kind, to la- applied over the seat of pain; keep the

Vni'loln, Varioloid, llubeolii anil Snn ln
tln.i; or Small I’m, Varioloid, Measles,
mid Scarlet Fever,
As all of these diseases at attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the ti’catiin-ut
differs hue little from llial of i otuliion fevers, Keinemhei
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it. is omi or the
other, or neither, us they all commence with Jmr, but
treat It at once; govern the fever aud there will he no
trouble; there w ill be lull ltitle eruption even m small
I” i\. This, to most luiuds, is anew idi-a, aud duuhUess
will Ire regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make tin* assertion, that small |hix, if treated as
i direct, null he cut short; attended with hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and tlint there is no nerrssity of
its miming its ordinary course, un tins 1 will stake
not only my reputation, hut all that I hold most dear ;
la-Hides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of
I'rof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 674:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number oj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be dune. 1 nave not only proven it may he., lint has
been done ill numerous eases that occurred ou hoard
ship. Bee the account appended.
Clive a teaspoonful or more, according to tin: urgency
of tile case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid otn-e iu two hours if necessary, until the feversub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
* the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may lie used, and the
Stllfiu e bathed, us thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess d'OrleAns, tin* tongue
and fuucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid mi bis tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so us 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 ull such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever,
Tills heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
mahtily to which the 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
teospoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as tlio
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated us long as tin: fever continues, as in other cases.
Tire bowels of courae should lie attended to.
in connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the Indies, will save them much pain and suffering, ft
is to inform them of tlie happy effect of tlie Fluid iu
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect doprivos the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved Ivy
its use; iu short, it is one of tlie 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 us tho circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally ami
healthy; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid coustant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions fur all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without, regard to tlie
name it may be or ought to be called, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he 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 iu any case, they should
bo appropriate means, aud these sohuld lie given while
giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing rnuro general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call ail 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 duo 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 latter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho 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 lever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the salino wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will bo no trou
ble ; if tlio patient has 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 vomitiug, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach
to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach : warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary : iu short, treat all tlie 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
lmvo seen, and theu 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 bo fully understood by
all, 1 will name a few of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat kar item.—Articles that purge or operate on tin*
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibiliuus. .viv anvthing
know n to be good forsucli purposes.
Hepntics.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generallv.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used m connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu
thurace. And one may choose calomel— another, blue
mass the thinl, podophyllin-the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice ami be suc
cessful.
Tonies.—Articles that give tone or strength such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. ’ Bono
set or thorough wort is one of the last used in fevers
AltrliiKCUti. Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringent*
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cay . line pepper) is one ot tho best *
ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Ac., the essences are all uiorii
or less stimulating. These are the only classes noeessa
ry 111 treating fevers, though many others are generallv
used, but tlie Negative Eleetrie Fluid is a better •• dia
phoretic,” ■•anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the mate rut meilicu.
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
Racket alii |> Uuclicaa D’Orlean*.
w hich cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigued. certify to the’ following, viz—
We look luissuge on the pucketsliip Duchess d'Ortenn*.
Capt Hatton, then lying iu the port of Havre, Franc**',
and bound for New York. She sailed on the Wth of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred soul* on issu'd, 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, Seat, w ith
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there woreabout eighty cases of small pox, seine level.

And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them tho most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of the CUKE in every part of
the United States, its success lias been so complete aud
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 of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and 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, galicine, Ac.
The effects of these are Sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when sucli remedies foil, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects arc superadded
to the poor sufferer's first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlio 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 Koinedy 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 mid Entire Hnriule.ssncs.s,
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 and .Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found
any substance iu its composition that would prove inju
rious to tho constitution.
“JAMES K. OIIILTON, M. D„ Chemist.”
It i* a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines whit h 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 tlio diseases being produced by one an t
the same cause, aud 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 tho 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 autibilious purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, tlie 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 tlie operation of the antidote will he seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour
the couteuts of one or more bottles ol’ tlio Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,| and place them in
sleeping rooms; fertile vapor rising from the medicine,
and also tlie air waited across, or circulated over tlio
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degieo commensurate with its expo
sure, tlio miasmata or poison contained in tlie apartment.
This mode of exhibiting tlio Cure should likewise be
resorted lo when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put tip have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ac.ue Cure “ blown in tlio
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance ton its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will he considered sufficient.

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success w hich has attended its use. For
roughs, colds, aud in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
am! its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,

also be found excellent, jp, natural and geniul w armth

Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it bus been to mo. I was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and in spite of the different remedies
and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until
1 commenced the use of your Fever aud Ague Cure. —
Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1865.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in tlie family cf 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 tho same Balsam some time wit hout 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 n Physician.

J. A. Rhodes— Dear Sir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here lor 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,

Louisville No. 11, C. It. R.,Ga.,Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure lias 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. 1 shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A. lIAYLES.
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 inio 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 witii 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 are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters
ot which I publish su *h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
till any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale thauererattendedany other Ague Remedy.
Tile Crowning Olory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its ire** 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 \el low Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect mili<late.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to nil
whoso constitutions have been shuttered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind ol intemperance or dissipation.
