worn not attacked with fever, and If so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have been
nothing of consequence—lt would have passed olt with

impression on the subject of fever Is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure Os a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and It is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
ull very tiifllng cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expeet that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local causu so great ns to require particular
attention, or though success;ul ill reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “ fluid” passes
off. as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in suen cnees that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General*
On tills subject I wish to b fully understood. By the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, Including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by tho 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 beat, dryness of the skill,
debility, Ac.
To show that I nm not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, f quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King's College, Loudon, whose work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently ttandanl authority.
On page 884, he says:—“We hear Continually, both In
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
,Vo, And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-ICnteric, mid
so forth. Now. admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I inn persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful, it
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
oilier, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a groat fact, one worthy of remembrance
ami 1 would impress on your minds the lolly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will In’ well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of (lie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself nnd others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
nugleot, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in
all of tho most prominent lovers, though tho “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast may be bathed tti cold water; either of which
will give Immediate relief.

There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children —those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide. 1 have given the

children require more than adults iu proportion.

the bowels are generally confined, and it Is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no timo should Ik* lost to got them open, give some active

sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also l K >
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hand* or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Xi rvnuM Fever. Typhus. Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fever* are all of one charaeter, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the guise
small and wiry, with a general great degression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, n little patience will he repaired: still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will be necessary at longest to estnlHieh a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced —which untv
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of “ Fluid’’ every two hours, till the guise
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to lie continued
ones in six or eight hours till the fever entirely tnbeidee.
In boil cases, frofn three to five grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cf .yeiine pepper) or sonieAonio and stimu
lant (see nuxiiio rios) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should bo kept geutly o|>en. and small portions
ol some livjmm'v: should be given tso-nsioimlly, oven
t hough the bowels should bo very loose. The patient
should lie sustained by Horn i-.hing and mncilogruuu

As all ol'these diseases are attended with lever, which
to fart is the most prominent symptom, tint treatment
differs Ime little from that ot common fevers. Ileinetnhei
never w ail to learn tho ” num■ . ‘ whetln-i il is oim or the

will he regarded with ridicule by many, i neverilieh--
boldly mitke the assertion, that email p*.v, il treated n-
I direct, will be I.ul short; attended with but little erup
tion; little oi no pitting, and that there i no neressitp of
its running its ordinary course. Oil this I will stake
not only mv reputation, hut a I that l hold most dear .
besides, on this subject. I have good authority; that ol
Prof. Unison, previously quoted, lie says, page KV4.
“ Von may abate the farce of Hie eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number oj the ; pustules by
spline purges, &c.” Here is tire admission that it may
be done. I nave not only proven it mug he, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See tho account appended.
Uivc a teaspooiiliil or more, according to the urgency
oi’ the case, witli a dose ol'salts or castor oil; repent tho
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally suftieient;
but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
Ibe level under eontrol. When tlie throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may lie need, and the
surface bathed, aa thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Uiicliessd'Orleans, the IniigUc
and Caucus wero so much swollen t lint tin- patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on Ins tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow ,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses eoery hour,t\\\
ull alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat wits reduced so as to enable him to take noitr—,
islinieiit in about twelve hours by Iho Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in ull such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teHspoonfiil, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be cnlcrtuiucd, as tho
Fluid will arrest it in il short time, it should be re
peated as long as the fever continues, as in other Cases.
Tlie bow els of course should lie attended to.
in connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the indies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the liuppy effect of the Fluid ill
many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor ofniueli of its pains
and difficulties; it must bo tried to bo appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by u com
mon dose uiulretiriug. ltestlessneHs,nervous irritability,
ora cold taken ut a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; In short, it is ope of the most convenient and
effectual remedies formally of the ills of females, if not
tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritublUty of tile nervous as well as tlie circulatory,
it Will not forco sleep like opiates, but il will sooth ami

healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as mncli us possible, 1 give under Ibis bead general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under nil circumstances, without regard to tho
name it may he or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control ull organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be r.miovcd ill order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and those ttohuid he given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the 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 first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate iu duo time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition: if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perlmps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in takiug effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient has been reduced oj* is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tbc stomach
to doasy 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 has settled, give tin “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till vou
have seen, aud then you will he astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to he fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the ditlerent'articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz.:—
t'at hurtles.— Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, ami many pills, antibilious. Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Ilcpnt Ics.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation ami secretions generally
Any of the articles depended on by tire different seliools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the 1 liiid oi while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllln—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on ; each may take his choice and lie sue-
COBNt'lll.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, vurious barks, roots amt bitter herbs. Hon,,,
so- or thorougliwprt is one of the la st used in fevers
Astringent*— finch us check the action „t the
bowels, Laudanum ami other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
w hich have the effect,
Stimulants.- Articles that raise ~r excite tin
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one or the la st
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
i 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 “.tii
plioreli",’ - “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia uuiiiea.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs
depending mainly on the results of a trial, aud will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packet ship Duchess D'Orlcaus.

“e, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz—
Wo took passage on the nackctship Ducliess d’Otienns.
Cant Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on tho Pth of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred fouls on hoard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tire small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the phyticlau iu charge,Dr. N. YV.' Scat, w ith
anew remedy of his ow ti, which he calls Negativ e Elec
tric fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it iu n few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox. some fever,
Ac., ami not a single death. All were cured with unu

From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion. possesses Inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little

which neutralizes tlie poison whenever it conn s in COll

nally completely purities the system affected by it ot its
Panel id Influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
Tlie remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to eny but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
tin- following extraordinary results from its use:
U will instantly cheek the ague in persons who have
Suffered tor any length of time, from oik- day to twenty
yearn, and by continuing its use, according to the direc
tions. u radical cure will be effected; the patient contin
uing free from tits oom plaint for ever; unless sub sequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in tho system, it will
immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, anti when the disease is cured, it
w ill entirely prevent the accession of
(Jt-licinl Debility’ slid Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mede

Prevent i v-,
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 ill every part of
tlie Luited States, its success lias been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved tlu-se assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When t hots’ declarations were made, at tho date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all Hie resources of
science bad been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects aro superadded
to tho poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlie makers of them uuiformly assort
they may bo 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 euro diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
•Singular and Entire Ilnrmlessneaa,
The following certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States has been obtained, aud a
copy of it is attached toeveiy bottle:
New Yoke, Juno 11, 1855.
“1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’Fever
aud 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 ils composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMKS 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, 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 us the one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by oue an l
the same cause, and therefore all, botli residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, aud 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 lmrui.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a llilious 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 thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, tlie object of which is to cleans ■ tho stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
his is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or tlie operation of the antidote will be scrion.-ly ob
structed.
Only Caution. —In certain specified cases, pour
tlie contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and place them iu
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air waited across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud estroy, to a deg.ee 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 aro exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up lißve the
words. “Rhodes’ Fiver and Ague Cure” blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
Tni REI.IANCE FOR ITS SUCCESS IS ENTIRELY UVON ITS
ACTUAL MERITS, wherever introduced and used. These
will bo considered sufficient.

. for the sole agency of
YYouilinaii's Cherry- Expectorant,
the medicine that lute created such an excitement at the
North among the Physicians, and has been pronouueed
by all who have used it as being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jcsamine
the pure decoction of Wild Cherry Hark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than any
other Cough Medicine in this country.
RECOMMENDATION S.
New Orleans. April 9, 1865.
Dear Sir—The public generally* are fully* aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under thctitles
of Sarsapnrillns, Pills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in w riting this note
for publication, is to induce tho public, or at least those
who are alttieted. to use one that contains articles of
Heal Ist in Fidmonary Diseases. lam conscious that iu
so doing. J am acting most uuprofessionally,and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer 1 Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any* of the usual prescrip
tions used tiy Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin. Miss.. May 1, 1866.
<t. it. \l oouman—Dear Sir: I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial aud am well pleased with ils es
frets; better than any other article 1 ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen lad
ties by the bearer. Respectfully.
YV. M. Mason. M. It.
1 bis preparation has attained a 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 ns a dissolvent
and ils soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
w ill probably lie preferred to any* other offered to the
pnhlie. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also lie I,Riml excellent, its natural uud genial warmth
keeping the digesthepowers iu proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
lias Stood the test of the medical” fraternity . It is sanc
tioned by. approved of, and recommended by tlio lending
Physicians ot New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be hotter than any Cherry* Pectoral. Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant. ‘

n AVI Nit noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given I,v tin- celebrated chemist Dr. J. It. Chilton,
of New Fork city, in favor of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, tlint it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic. Mer
curp mu- Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, i was induced to send to Dr. Rhodes
lor the medicine. Since then I have disposed ot a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
i uitily been cured by it, and to whom 1 ran refer. 1 am.
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to La- all that
the proprietor represents.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent
au order to Ames .t ftalliday for anot her half gross of
yourFcverand Ague Cure. It has sold like” 1 lot Cakes,”
and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it
has sold, is because w ben I have heard of a ease of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and teld them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied, t had one ease
of Chill Fever w here it run four days, but the man came
to see me on tlie sixth day well satisfied.

Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —Your medicine lias met

Rut not a bottle has come back, and as I am almost out

Dr. .1. A. Rhodes— Dear Sir — Your Cure lor tlie Fever

failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled with tho distress

Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the benefit it lias 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
and treatment i adopted, my health grew worse until
1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Since that time X have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing y jur m alicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

Evidence from n Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richlund Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully* testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
iu 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
n charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1555.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —I have been in tlie practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, liaviug used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect sncce,s.t. Respectfully yours,
W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. R.. Ga., Jan. 1, 1866.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. YV. 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 iu'.o every town and village
in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist. lir. J. R.CLiltou. of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and 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 its great
claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will he noticed that the letters
ot which I publish sn 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 any other Ague Remedy.
The Frowning 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,
Rilious or Y cllow Fever, or any* form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect 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 Rilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any* kind of intep'perance or dissipation.
