The above reasons are moru particularly upplicahlu to
the immediate treatment on the flint attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, correspondin'; of course
to the nat uro of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As tills remedy given so prompt, effectual ami permit
uout relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tie y
wen not attacked with fever, and if so, “U wits trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
uotbing of consequent*—it would have paused oil with
out anything—that medicine had no effect.” Tin general
impression on thu subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of n common case
as natiiinllv as men think at nil; and It is Hot until
the individual has witnessed many casesthat lie can fully
realize the truth; and even then ho may conclude them
nil 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 wifi.cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success, ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes
off, ns the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in suctj oases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a ‘‘synopsis. 1 ’
Remarks on Fevers In Uentral*
On this subject I wish to he fully understood. Hy the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which Hie human frame is subject, including ttinu.ll pox
and Other eruptive fevers; hut ns they arise hy 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;
yt all arc distinguished by the same general character
istics—that oi 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 tout I am not wholly alone in 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 hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently slnndunl authority.
On page 834, he says Wo hear continually, both in
and out of tiie profession, different species of lover spo
ken of. By tlio public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers aro to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (Jastro-Kntcrlc, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon tiie
mind of all this sub-division, is hud und hurtful. It
encourages a disjunction, nlroady too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of geuuino distinction between continued fevers,
that can he relied on. They rnn insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, ami are often
traceable to tiie same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your minds tiie folly of hunting
np or troubling youisoli about a “name;” if you have
lover, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any diftinetcharacter being devel
oped, so os to lie properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion Is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at, tile bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye. thousands of cases
(hy myself and others; under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons amt climates. Bear this in uiiud,
aud (rent nt Once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon ho freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either hy
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the projier course to he pursued in
all of tiie most prominent fevers, though the “ liules”
and “ Synojisis” will he amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance ui>on the sick.
Hides important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. it should he given in three or lour times its own
quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must tie free from all currents of air,
(though tlrero should always he free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under itH in
fluence.
3d. it must ho continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to he resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
4th. Will'll tile fever begins to subside, patients must
ho left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not lie questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or lake any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of nil extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or sja-nk; nor
should any conversation lie allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but lie left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
sth. Fluids should he allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the jiatient desires aud no
longer; they may cousist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
titli. Should patients experieueo any ojqiression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tlio fever has passed oil', 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 tiie face aud
In-east may he bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

See Synopsis.
If in any case the li wols are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must bo opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the lover is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on bv
medicine generally—a double d.me, or two teaspoonsful
may lie given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been ro/letm/,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.

Congestive Fever.
Give two toasp-sinsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse become* more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subsides As
the bowels are generally confined, aud it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in till? disease,
no time should lie lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid’’ aud repent as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbiug) with the bauds or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid’’ if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship nntl Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degreo, taring all of a low grade, tho pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, thero is
no practical u?o in separating them—st least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fever*, when
fully developed, a little patience will t>e required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently inn weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent

will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 tie vert boles,
boldly make the anseition, that Hiuall |"x, if treated ;m
I direct, will tje rut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this f will stake
not only ruy reputation, bnt a.l that I ludd must dear;
besides, on thinautyect, I have good authority; that of
l*rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie say?, page S7t:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it Is believed, the number of ths pustules by
Hpliue purges, &c.” Here is the admission that it. may
be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has
tu’en done in numerous easna that occurred on hoard
ship. See the account appended.
Give a teaspoon fu l or more, according to the urgency
of the cane, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlio
Fluid once in tw o hours If necessary, until the fever sub-
Hides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but if should be given and repented (sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gnrgles may be used, aud the
surface bathed, oh thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchessd'Orlcans, the tongue
and fallen* were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, und lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could * wallow,
when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so a to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by thu Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle, in all such cases.
l*ii€Tpt*ral or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with hucli readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. Asiugledo.se or two of a
teaspoouful, 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 um long ns the lever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended t*.
In connection w ith this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a low general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much puiu and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trial*, in child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprivos tire labor of much of it* pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation w ill be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold token at a delicate time, is easily relieved hy
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 of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It w ill not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally ami
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 tor all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlio
name it may be or ought to he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must ho rotnoved in order to efl'ect a
permanent euro.
When Kuril indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate moans, aud those soliutd bo given while
giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they w ill then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides 110 unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the ‘,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 alter, uiul should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though if caused liy irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve tlmt condition; if severe local
jiain or inflammation, apjily some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, iierliajis, cloths wet iu cold water, to the jiart; if
violent jiain iu tlio head, apply cold water, ico water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
Hie feet iu hot water; if tlio fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or Imtho the
whole surface witli water lit till agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either w ill all'ord great relief and :ij*4 Ugsxmedi
ciuo in taking effect, after -irljrli tin 11 n il[f brnii t rou
ble ; if Hie jiatient lues InyriT reduced or is/uucli jirostra
-I***l, give tonics and smnulants, particii'kqrly iu low
fevers, iu absence at fever or when indiras*.!; also,
during convalescence, when the jiatient has tie come re
duci'd; if there is nausea and vomiting, tlmt must he
allayed before any medicine will remain on tiie stomach
to do any good; for this jiurjiose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purjiose; when the
Htotiuu'h inis settled, give tho •• Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; iu abort, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other eireumstanees, giving the
“ t liiid at the same time as itireeled, ami success will
crown your efforts; indeed, von cannot realize it (ill you
have seen, and then you will be astonished nt 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 vv lint is used. 1 liax-e found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of tlio ditferout articles of medi
cine 1 I lave referred to, viz :
Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate ou tiie
bowels, such ns castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many pills, antlbilious. Ac.: anything
known to lie good for such jiurjioses.
Hepatic a.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation aud secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended ou l>y the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “ Fluid” or while tiie system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose culouiel—another, blue
mass—the third, piuiopliyllin—tiie fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and la-sue-
CVSHflll.
Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
us quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such 11s chock the action ot the
bowels. Laudanum and other jirejiarations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, net projierlv astrir.geiiis
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles tlmt raise or excito the
system. I'lipsiciun (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best ;
ginger, sjiirits, lutrlshoru. Ac., tlio essences arc ail 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 kuowu in the mutt via medico.
1 shall not tux tin* reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packeishtp Duchess D’Orlenm.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
Wo, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
Wo took panage on the packetship Ductless and Orleans,
Capt Hutton, then iyiug in the port of Havre, France',
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred uonli on tmard. mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the snmil
pox broke out among the emigrants. They were alt
treated by the physician in charge. Dr. N. W.’ Sent, with
anew remedy of his own. which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which lie 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 thirtv-nine days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox.some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with mm
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said jiassago, we are fully
convinced that the mediciue used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion. jiossesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to tiie nurse. A crowded ship, a King passage,
small pox and fever on board, sml no! a death.’ The
fact speaks for itelf.

It will instantly cheek the ague in persona who have

years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc

uing free from the complaint for evi, unless subsequent
exposure t< malaria should make its use again necessary.
)u its operation upon tiie 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
tifiu-ral Debility and Sweats,
w hich so often follow the administration of other mede
ernes. The patient at once begins to reever appetite

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.
Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of
the United States, its success has 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 a* 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 .ire superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be 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.
zNow, 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 und Flit ire If aimlessness,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle:
New York, June 11, 1855.
‘*l 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 in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the 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, but 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 ns the one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one anJ
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
at tack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
tin* poison before it docs 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 antibiliouw purgative. The
very best thing for general use 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 be taken
or the operation of tlio antidote will he seriously ob
structed.
Only Cant ion.— lll certain sjiecifled cases, jiour
the contents of one or more bottles of tlio Cute into
shallow vessels, (dining [dates,) anil place them iu
sleeping rooms; for tiie vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
auil destroy, 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 lliis medicine is put up have tiie
words, “Jihooks’ Fkvkr and Auue Cure” blown in tiie
glass, and on the outside wrapjier is the name of tiie
medicine, (tlio cojiyrlght of which is secured) and tiie
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ihe
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sar-apaiilliis. Pills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to tlieir notice through the newsjntpersby
way of advertisements. My object in w riting this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
w tin are nfllicted. to use one that contains articles of
Heal t'se Iu I ‘id memory Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most unprofessionally.and derogu
torUy to the interests of Medical Science and the regufar
Practitioners of Mediciue. X refer to Woodman's Cherry
Exjiectorant. which is a scientific remedy that I have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrin
tions nwd by Vbysioians.

This preparation has attained h wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remvdv. it will
also bo found excellent, its natural and penial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of tho niedioai fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved ot and recommended by tlic leading
I’hysicians ot New York city Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. \Ve guaran
tee It to tie better than any Chcn v Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant.’

Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it has been to me. I 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 and Ague Cure.—
Since that time 1 have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.

I remain truly yours,

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir —1 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 jier
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
tiie Cure and lias 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.

Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has Wen fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired mo to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. “ YV. A.IIAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of tiie CURE, which is being intro
duced as rapidly as possible info every town ana village
iu the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New Y’ork, certifies to its per
fect innocence, it is therefore optional 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
take tiie Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and jirctensions could uot be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters
of which Ijiuhlisli su h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended auy other Ague Remedy.
Tiie 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 (luring 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 Yelloxv Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tiie
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick und permauent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened hy
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemjierance or dissipation.
