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.

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.

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.

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. bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits amt water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much tn taking effect.

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.

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.

All Malaria, whether arising from .Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and Vegetable mutter, or e ven newly cleared lands, is Ibe same iu character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho breathe if. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing Ihe unerring affinity sub. Sting between op posites, there is in tin* preparation before us, ottered to l !♦* public. The A'ntiiral AuthtoH- to Muiariu, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even In tie* open air, and when taken iuter nally e..nipletely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. ‘The remedy i believed to be entirely new, aud un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly cheek the ague in persona who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, u radical cure will be effected; the patient contin 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.

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 taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will he considered sufficient.

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. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.

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.
