and frequently referto what I have railed a “ synopsis.'’
Iti'inarka on Fevers in Urutral*
On this mibjeet I wish to to* fully understood. By the
term “ fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small |icx
and nthm eruptive levers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and iu quite dissimilar ixuistilmious
and liabils. they id oouree differ considerably in their
developmeul and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
vet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics —that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
uervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense ol heat, dry'tiess of the skin, i
debility, 4c.
To show that J anv not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King's College, London, whose work on the *’ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently StaiuUird authority.
On page 834, he says:—“Wo hear continually, both iu
snd out of the profession, different species ol fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever. Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers ure to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that lever shows itself under
various forms, i am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bud 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, anil are often
traceable to the saute cause.”
The above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
aud I would impress on vour minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling youisel! about it “ name;” if you liave
fever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you
i oiU be, well instead of any ilistinctcharacter being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientilic.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, iu hundreds, ftye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons mid climates Bear this in mind,
and trent at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have be
come developed before the “F’luid”is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will bo amply suflicient for ull those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
links important to be. observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must bo froo from all current! of air,
(though there should always bo froo ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such he the case under uny
circumstances.
■lth. 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 men natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce, them to rise or speak; nor
should auy conversation be allowed iu their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
(ith. 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 as parties may prefer or patients desire.
6th. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so ns to occasion a
restlessness after the fever bins passed est, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant.; or the fare and
breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nvrvons Fever, Ty phus, Ship nutl Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being ail of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
uo 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 be commenced—wbieh may
Immediately follow auy other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of •* Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or laigor iu volume, then to be continued
once in six or eight hours till tho fever entirely subsides.
Iu bad cases, from three to live grains each of ipnnine
ami capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or soiiie tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. Ihe
bowels should lie kept gently opeu, and small |sirtiuiis
of sonic hepulxc should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo very loose. The patient
should tsi snstained by nourishing and niueilageuous
drinks—such a* are in common use iu such cases,—-

Given tcaepoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strung decoction of bum-set; or
half the quantity may ho given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight lioui -.
The lioneset tea should bo given warm till the violent
symptoms are ulluytsl, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ol
the kind, to be applied over the seat of puiu; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and siearln
tiul or N,null Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact Is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs lute little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,'’ whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they ull commence with Jeeer, but
treat It at unco; govern the fever and there will la- no
trouble; there w ill be Ind little eruption even iu small
pox. Tills, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubt less
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
Is,ldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, wilt be. cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, anil that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation. Imt ull that 1 bold most dear;
beside*, on this subject. I have good authority;
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lb- says, jingo 674:
“ You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, tile number nj the pustuhs by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be done, i nave uot only proven it may be., but has
been done iu numerous eases that occurred on board
ship, bee the account appended.
Give u teicsjnsinful or more, according to tile urgency
of tin* case, w ith a dose of salts or castor oil; repent the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fevermib
snies—though one or two doses is genem ly sufficient;
but il should Is* given and rejK*ted sufficiently to keep
Hie fever under control. When the throat is affected,
auy ol the ordinary gargles limy Is 1 used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the whip Duchess d'Orleahs, the tongue
and faucus were sonuich swollen that the patient could
nut swallow or s|s-,ik. and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid un his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when il was given iu teasjioouful dose* every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so us to enable liim to take nour
ishment in alsiiit twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gorglr in all such cases.
I’ui rjieral nr 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 n
teasjuonlul. almost invariably giving entire aud per
maneut relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tbo
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re
jieuted a* long os the fever continues, a* in other cases.
Tin* bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering, it
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
aud difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com
mon iloße and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as tlio circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will south and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally und
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much os 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 he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur iu any case, they should
be appropriate means, und these soliuhl 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 he lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the tirst iloso, or soon after, and 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 it caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that coudition ; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply Some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, jierhajw, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, njiply 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 aud hot, with great Buffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, cither will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will lie no trou
ble; if tin* patient Ims been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced ; if there is nausea und vomiting, that must he
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do Bay 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 ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
ns you would under any other rireumstances. giving tin*
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; Indeed, you cannot realize it till von
have seen, and then you w ill be astonished at tile ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auillißries.
Parties may feel at a lose to know what is meant by
cathartics. Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found ho such necessity
wlien using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name iv lew of nie different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz.;—
Cat linrttes.Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil. suits, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilioiis, Ac.; anything
known to be goodforsuch purposes.
Il*ll its.—Anything known to act outlie liver
particularly, portal circulation und secretions generally.
Any est ho articles depended on liy the different schools
for till* purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass tlu* third, podophyllln—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on: ouch may take his choice ami be suc
cessful.
Tonics.— Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots aud bitter herb's. Iff,
set or thorougliwort is one of the best used iu level s.
Astringent*.-Such as check the action of the
bowets. Isimloiium and other projaiintian* of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, uot properly astringent*
which have the effect.
Stimulants.-Articles that raise or excite tlu
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are ull more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
u*ed, but the Negative Electric Fluid is u luffter *■ dia

“sedative” than known in the materia meilica.

WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
K/V XjiVltliY OK MIASMA..
r | ‘ll |-;,*K diseases are common to many localities of the
J I ‘idled Btales; hut wherever they prevail, ‘North,
Noiith, East or West, they all equally spring IVoui the
humic iiiitiAiiiul ntiihc. Thu great variety of Hymptoius aiiu
forms of di.-ense is owing princfjxdly to difference in age,
sex, constitution aud habits of the sufferers; but us the
cause i.* the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a r**-
ageut, or iu other words a spocilic remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even Tli-Wly
cleared lauds, is the same iu character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosjihere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites. there is iu the preparation before us, offered to
lliu public,
i lie Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it collies ill con
tact with it, even in the open nir, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system athfotod by it of its
I,annul influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to bo entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
tlu- following extraordinary results from its use:
it will instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions, a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin
uing flee from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation lijion the poison iu the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
w ill entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility und NTglil Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
cine 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 he banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, und all laboring people may lie using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious at tacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them (lie most valuable part of the
year.
Mure the introduction of the CURE ill every part of
the United Elates, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
M In n these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed iucredible to many, even of
(lie most candid minds, because all the resources ol’
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; aud 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 these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are super added
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 the makers of them uniformly assert
they may ho 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 ami Entire Ilarinlcssuess,
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, 1805.
‘•1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ F ever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and liave tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, 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 which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
tlie 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
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The
very best tiling tor general uso is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the 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 he taken
or the operation of the antidote will lie seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.— ln certain specified eases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) aud place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
mid also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it. after the liquid is evaporated, w ill counteract
aud destroy, to a degico 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 Ague Cure” blown iu the
glass, and on the outside w rapper is the mime of the
medicine, (the rojiyright 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 i con its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will he considered sufficient.

Woodman's ( lurry Expectorant,
the medicine that has created such an excitement at the
North among the Physicians, and has been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to any
Cherry I Vet oral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesamino,
the pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than any
other Cough Medicine iu this country.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the

IIAYI.NO noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
Il given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. It. Chilton,
of New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that iteoiitained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, 1 was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
for tlie medicine. .Since then I have disposed of a huge
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, w ho have inva

therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that
the proprietor represents.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who lias not been fre e from Fever and
Ague a month at a time for the lust twelve years, I sup

stored her to health and strength, und as four mouths
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tlie perma

Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of
tlie benefit it has been to me. 1 was first attacked by
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and in spite of the different remedies

I commenced the use of your Fever und Ague Cure.—
Since that time 1 have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.

Fvitlenee from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Bept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes,—Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
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 young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1805.
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 success. Respectfully yours.

Louisville No. 11, C. K. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices liy Us
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 X
can in Its sale. ‘ W. A. HAYLES.
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 into every town and village
in the United States, Canadas. &c. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever und 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 Us great
claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will he noticed that tlio letters
of which 1 publish su -h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newsjmper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
The Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons. not a man woman or child in the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or A ellow Fever, or auy form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is n jierfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
