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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. 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, ’ W. 0. SPENCER. 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. .lAMi*.
