It is to guard against disappointment in snen cases that 1 have given 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.

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.

Congestive Fever. Give two teaapoonsful ami repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soil, tlteu only a tea spoouful, to bo discontinued as the fever subside). As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get modtciue to operate iu this disease, no time should he lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary till It operates; enemas ylnjectious) may also lie used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to tho head. Quinine may be added to the “ 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.

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.

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. Prepared and sold bv the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES. Providence, It. TANARUS, F’or sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS A CO., February 10, lSsti. ly Druggists.

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 piied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re stored her to health and strength, und as four mouths have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tlie perma nency of the cure. C. A. I'.

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. ’ W. G. SPENCER. 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.
