As when kuown, it will remove all dread anil anxiety at pre>* ot existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. 3th. — Economy of llcnltli.— As the system is not reduced, ami consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. 6th.-- Ecouoniy of Life.— As thocuro is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger ot a tatal termination. Other reasons might be added, but these at e deemed su.Ucient to satisfy all classes and persons iu all condi tions of lifo. The above reasons arc more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first a*tack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have ed to Or have become reduced, correspondin'’ of course ♦o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary coses, when used soou after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y were not attacked w ith fever, and if so, “it w as trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it w ould have passed off w ith out anything—that medicine had nooffect.’’ The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of 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 realise the truth; and even then he may conclude them all 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 will 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 agaiu rise as the influence of the * Fluid” passes off. as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in sum cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers In General* On this snbject I wish to be fully understood. By the term “fevers,” I compreheud all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small jk>x 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 the same general character istics—that of undue excitement in the circulatory and nervons systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency iu the pulse, sense heat, dryness iff the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am uot w holly alone in the opinion I advance. I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, w hose work on the •• Princi ple!* and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently’ standanl authority. On page 834, he says:—“Wo hear continually, l*oth in aud out of the profession, different species of fever spi>- ken of. By the public. Typhus Fever, llrain Fever, Bilious Fever. Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. Aud systematic w riters are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic. Uastro-Knterio, and so forth. Now. admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am 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 be relied on. They run insensibly iuto each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a *• name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed,* and you will be. lotll instead of any distinct character leing 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 the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and 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 neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe os briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient fur all those aecustomed to attendance upon the sick. Rules important to be observed in all cases in using the Xegativt Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, ’ though there should always be free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be 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 own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences; induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left qaie to all intents aud purposes. sth. 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 drinxs, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed off, 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 face and breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 aDd under 2 years, “ sto 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 5 “ 10 “ 20 to 50 “ 44 u 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonfuL All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a commcn do .e. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses ; but for a little guide. I have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilioua or Remittent Fever. Give a teasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the “Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” tiee Synopsis. If in any case tho bowels are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened , thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two tempoonifnl and repent every two Lours till the pulse becomes more full anil soft, then only a toa spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subsidet. As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very-iifficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, do time should bo lost to get them open, gfvo Horne active cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat oh may he neces sary till it operates: enemas (injections) may also he used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel- also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, fclilp and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly In degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no 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 tho common treatment, while with this but a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with ateaspoonful of “Fluid” every two hours, till tho pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued once in six or eight honr* till the fever ontirely subside*. | Tn bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine 1 ’ and capsicum t Cayenne poppet*) *i Some toiuc aud sliiiin ; latit (sec auxiliaries) should be added to each dose The bowels should be kept gently open, and small portion of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even lhough the bowel* should be very loose.

This, to most minds, is a uevv idea, aud doubt I e.-s will be regarded with ridicule by many. I neverthule.-s boldly make the assertion, that small pox, it treated as 1 direct, will be cut short ; attended w ith out little orup tiou: little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, but ail that l hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that ot Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 574: “You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, aud keep down, it is believed, the number oj the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. 1 nave uot only proven it maybe, but has been done iu numerous eases that occurred ou board ship. See the account appe uded. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of tho case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours If necessary, until the fever sub aides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should be given aud repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under eoutrol. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d'Orleans, the Longue aud Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, aud he was cured by dropping the Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till he could sw allow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every /tour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the thrift was reduced so us to enable bim to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tho best gargle iu all such cases. Puerperal or t Uiltlbeil 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 he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspooufnl, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief: no alarm need be entertained, us the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re* pea ted as long as the fever coutiuuce. as in other cases. The bowels of course should bo attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 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. In e lit Id-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to bo appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose 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 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 will not force sleep like opiates, but it will south and quiet the system so that ono can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, ami condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will cliange the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho 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 be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any cose, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld 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 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 in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to he 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 hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu 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; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits anu water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine iu taking effect, after which there will bo no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or 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 has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do a*y good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under auy other circumstances, giving the •* Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be 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. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to. viz:— Catliartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.: anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatics.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by tho different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tho “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on: each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in foveft. Astringent*.—Such as chock the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparation* of opium are used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is ono of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tho essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tho 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 known in tho materia medico. I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proof* depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Pocketslilp DucLc** D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates* We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz— We took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France’ and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9t,h of Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on lwird. mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the smull pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. w. Seat with anew remedy of In's own, which he calls Negative’ Elec tric Fluid, with which he 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 thirty.nine days there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever’ Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Heat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. Wo never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled witli so much ease, promptness and certainty, or s. little trouble to the nurse.

In its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all tin* distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when th** disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cines.

Since the introduction of tho CURE in every part of tlie l nited 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 tlie date of its in trod net iun. they seemed incredible to many, even of tin* most candid minds, because all the 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 empirioul. have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, ljuinim*, Mercury, Salicim*. 4c. The effects df these are sometimes worse than tho disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superudded to the poor sutferer’s first complaint. Ou this account ague sufferers should lx* 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. Now, os a proof that tlie 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 and Entire Harmlessuess, Tho following certificate from one of tlie moat celebrated chemists in the United States lots been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “1 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, hut 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, but to do an equally* good w ork 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 u 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 ly’ one an.l the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timelyn.se of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tho Cure ns 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 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 takf.n or the operation of the antidote will be seriously’ ob structed. Only Caution.- -Iu certain .specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in sleeping rooms ; for the rising from the medicine, and also tlie 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 ore exposed to malarious situations. The bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Core” blown in the glass, and on tho outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions aro 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.

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 and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until 1 commenced the use of your Fever aud Ague Cure. — Since that time I have not lmd a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing y jur m idiciue the success that it merits, 1 remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day's paper will be found an advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every’ case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi um* to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow. Boonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Deal* 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 mouths 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. 0. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —1 have been iu the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con .-cientiously 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. R. R.. Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. 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. W. A. IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it iu every bottle of the CURE, which is beirg intro duced as rapidly as possible in o every town and village in the United States, Canadas, &c. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. K. Chilton, 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 1 hat 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 conld not be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will he noticed that the letters of which 1 publish fu 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 ll- in 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 tlie 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 Yellow 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 aud 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.
