The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have beeu subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding ot course *o tne nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used s,*on after the attack. persous can scarcely realize that they had beeu really ranch siok, and very naturally conclude they war * not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have beeu nothing of censequeuoc—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had no effect/’ The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common ease as naturally as men think at all; and it is uot until the individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trilling eases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful iu perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or U*cal cause so great as to require particular attention. r though successful in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid 1 * passes oft, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers in General* On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. By the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and 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 are distinguished by the same general character istics —that of undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing 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 iu the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrafed l'rof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the ** Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, aud 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, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Euteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under variou* 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, that can be relied on. They run 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 and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a 44 name;'’ if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed,* and you unit be well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but 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. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name , and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But 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 the proper course to be pursued iu all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Rules important to be observed in all cases in rising the. Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always be free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. 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 not bo questioned as to their wauts or feelings, nor attempt to cunverse, read or take any exercise whatever, t.li 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 v.-hich they may feel more or less interested, but be left quie to all intents and purposes. 6th. 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 drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm a? parties may prefer or patients desire. bth. should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so os to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little winu, 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.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old person* do not require a much 03 young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary iu 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 rnauy perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent. Fever. Give a teasponful of 44 Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iu 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 44 Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any case the b wels are particularly constipated or confined, give a • Lth&rtic (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 er 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, 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 taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full aud soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside). A* the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in thli disease, no time should be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with 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 (rubbing) with the hand* or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the 44 Fluid’* if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typltus, Ship nn<l Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers 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 as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should he commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a to&spoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued once in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In bad eases, from three to five grains each of i/uinim aud oipsicum (Cayman popper) or some tonic and stimu lant auxiliaries) should bn added to each d*M\ flic bowels .should Ui kept gently open, and small portion-* of hi>me hcftatic should l*e given occasionally, even though the bowels should he very loose.

V ariola, Varioloid. Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, aud Scarlet Fever. As all of these disens, sure attended with fever, which in fact is tin* most prominent symptom, Hie treat nun t differs hue little from that ot common levels. Remember never wait to learn the ‘•name, whether ii is oitu or the other, or neither, as they allconuueui e with ./It* r, but treat it at once; govern the lover and there will be no trouble; there will la* hut tilth ,rupam even in small I>,*x. I bis, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will la* regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as l direct, i rill fee cut shod ; attended with but little erup tion; little or tnt pitting, and that there isno wossUy of its running its mdiunry course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, but ad that l hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that ol Prof. Watson, previously (patted. He says, page 874; “You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the numle-r of the jmstuhs by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tnat it may l*e done. 1 nave not only proven it maybe, but has been done iu numerous vases that occurred on hoard ship. See the account appended. Give a teaspuouful or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; refloat the Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the loverHub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should Ik* given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. M lien the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gurgles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d'Orleans, the tougue and taucus were so much swollen that the patient could riot swallow or speak, aud lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his 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 w:is reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the 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 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 teasjHxmful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated a* long as the fever continues, as in other cases. The bow els of course should be attended to. lu connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. I t is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing aud 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, or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu 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 aud iritability of the nervous as well as 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 use in so many cases. 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 and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given wherever ur 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 wise, 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 time 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, aud 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 hitter herbs, or, perhaps, 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 aud water or spirits aud 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 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 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 44 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, 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 meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew’of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cut hurt leg.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good forsuch purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act onthe 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 liis choice and In* suc cessful. Tonic*.— Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, variou* barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone see or thorough wort 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 Mm system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) i* one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., 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. 1 shall uot 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 PacketMhip Duchess D’Orlean*. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify t.* the following, viz— Wa took passage on the packetsbip Duchess d'Urleuns Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France* and bound for New Fork. 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 W mall pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, with m new remedy of hi* 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 davs there were about eighty cases of small pox, some foyer* Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with min imal promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Heat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of febrile affection* being controlled with ho much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

Tho great variety ols> mptoius and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution uml habits ol tin* sufferers: but as the cause is the same, they w ill all equally yield to a remedy lliat is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Iy the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and tor* ui y disease, or cause of disease, there is u re agent, or in other words a si*ccitic remedy. All Malaria, w hether arising from Marshes, {Stagnant water, decompo sition ol animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is (he siwnc iu character and effect: Is a poi son (touting in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who luvntheil. In accordance with those unalterable laws g* \ciiin,:; the unerring affinity subsisting l*otween op pu.-ites. there is iu the preparation before us, offered to tile piddle, T!ic Yiilural Aid idol c to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison u heiicViT it culm s m con tact with it. even iu the open air, and when taken inter nally i oinpletely purities the system affected by it of its bumTul influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy Is believed to he entirely mu. ami un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results front its use: It will instantly cheek the ague in persons who have suffered lor any length of time, from one day to twenty yea is, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, u radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing live 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, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cities. 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 may be using this arti cle as 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. Eiiioc the introduction of the CURE in every part of the United .States, its success lms 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 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, Salicine, Ac. The effects of th * arc sometimes w orse than tho disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are suporadded to the poor sufferer's first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should le 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, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Hannlessncss, The following certificate from one of tho most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle : New Fork, 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 nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. ‘•JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is 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 l*y 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 ns the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an.l 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 prepured by u distinguished Physician long resident iu 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, the object of which is to cleans, the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must re taken or the operation of tbe ajitidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Cant ion.—ln certain specified case?, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,, aud place them iu sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, w ill counteract aud i.estroy, to a degiee 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 Auue Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tho proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely ueov its actual MERITS, wherever Introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

Rhodes —Having been entirely cured by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of the Denetit it lias been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months sineg, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until 1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since tht time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing y jur m dicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. 1. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We arc not in the habit of pulling medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe. Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves themedi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Uoonsboi'o , Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify lo 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 j’ouug 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. Montickli.o, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of 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 surreys. Respectfully yours, * W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11. C. R. R., (la., 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. 1 shall do all I can in its sale. W. A.HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CUKE, 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 optioual 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 a year ago were reluctant even to lake the Cure on commission. They thought its great, claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will he noticed that the letters of which 1 publish su Ii immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether thev would more than fill any newapajier, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory °f 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 iu 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 antidnU. 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 l*y Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
