To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from the ctdohrafed I’rol. T. Watson, of King's College, l.ondon, whose work on the “ I’rinci plus and Practice of l’hystc” is a text hook in many of our medical college*, and consequently riandardatithority. tiu page 834, he says We hear continually, both in anil out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of.

And systematic w riters are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Atoxic, Adynamic, Gastro Enteric, mid so forth Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of ail this sub-division. Is had and hurtful. It encourage* a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre- HcrilHt for a disease according to its numt. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, anil are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a groat fact, one worthy of remembrance and I Would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you self about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be writ instead of any dlstinctcharoctor being devel oped, so as 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 the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of eir cuuwtauees, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as eases may have be come developed before Ihu “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Jtulea” and Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed oft, 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 maybe bulbed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, lor whom a toospooufut is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much ns young, or those iu the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular rare ueeessary in giving it to children —those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses ; lmt for a little guide, I have given the above table, with tlie remark that, us a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing tlie above directions, tlie medicine w ill be found agreeable in all of Us effects, the expectations of tlie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in ladug thus particular Is, that (lie lull benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. IlilloiiH or It emit lent Fiver. Give a triutpoufui of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple eases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the “ Hull's.” But should there be promiuent local symp toms, or knovru local existing causes, they should be attetide*d to at once, aud while giving the “Fluid.” See Synopsis. If m any ease the h -wols are particularly ooustipalcd or confined, give a , alhartic (see auxiliaries) with tlie first portion ; they must be opened or tlie fever mny rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptib’” to the influence ol medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two toaspoonsful may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated Iu 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, iu these difficult cases, will afield relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Oive two tcasp wnsliil and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no tints should be lost to get them open, give some active’ cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat a* may la’ neces sary till H operates; enemas (Injections) may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (I'ubblug) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to ilia bead. Quinine may be added to the “FI rid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship mill Putrid or fipottrd Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, beitig all of a low grade, the pulse small aud wiry, with a geueral great depression, thero is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In those low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still” comparatively little, ns they frequently rim weeks under tho common treatineut. 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 a teaspoonful of *'Fluid” every two hours, till Die pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be oontiuued once in six or eight honrs till the fever entirely subsides.

As all of these disease,- are attended witii isver, wll-ii ill lael is the must prominent symptom, tiie treatment differs hue litlieiroiii that ol common fevers, liemember never wait to learn tho “name,” whether itis utiu or the other, or neither, as they ail commence with Jeerr, lmt treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no trouble; there will be hut little eruption oven in small pox.

Tile bowels of course should Is* attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general rvinprks, which,'if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and safl’ering. It is to inform them of the lmppy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing riled deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com mon dose andretiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu 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 it liability of tlie nervous as well as (lie circulatory. It w ill not force sleep like opiates, lmt it will sooth aud quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, I give under 1 ills head general directions tor all coses. As the Negative Klectric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the 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 all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cuie. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuill la* 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” alono will sub due tho fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. if the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it fail lo operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrluea, give something known lo lie 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 in cold water, to the part: if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if file lover is very high, skill dry and hot, w ith great snivel ing, sponge or bathe the w hole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in.taking effect, alter which there will be uo trou ble: it the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu absence id’ fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting. Hint must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; lor 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” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as y on would under any other circumstances, giving the ” Fluid” at the same time as directed, ami success w ill crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, aud then you w ill be astonished at tlie ease wit It which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may foci at u loss to know what is meant by cathartics. Ac., us physicians are usually particular about wlmt is used. I have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by all. 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cut liurt lea. —Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the l oots ot- luuks, and many pills, autibllioiis, A,.; anything known to lie good for such purposes.

Natural Antidote to Malaria, winch neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con lact wiili ii. even in the open air, arid when taken inter nally cnisipli t< ly purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, aud un known to any but the. proprietor, who distinctly claiihs the follow ing extraordinary results from its use: Jt will inscantly clefck the ague in persons who have suffered lor any length of time, from one day to twenty years, aud by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from tho complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should rnuke its use again necessary. In its operation upon tie- poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all tho distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tlie accession of (atm rati Debility ami Sweat Is, which so often follow the administration of other mede* cities. The patient at oiich begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may bo banished from every family and class in the community: farmers, me chanics, aud all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a JPre venfi ve, And pursue their retipoftive 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 tlie CUIIK in every part of the I nit and Status, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its ext r.ionlinary merit. When these declarations were made at tlie date of its in I roduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid infmls, because nil 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 as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saticine, 6lc. The effects of these are sometimes worse than tlie disease they subdue, and when such remedies foil, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are 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. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account ol its power to cure diseases, but that itis also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular Entire Ilarmlessness, The tollowing certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists m the United Staffs has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1 Sfs. k, l have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it lor Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it. nor have J found any substance in its composition t lint would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES K. ( HILTON, M. I)., Chemist.” If i a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to a- an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines w hich do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an.i the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait tor 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 barm. 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 Ouster Oil, tin- object of which is to cleans-* the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it mi st bk taken or the operation of the nntidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Cant lon*—ln certain specified cases, pour tin* contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,! and place them in sleeping room.*-; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs ot it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract umi destroy* to a dcgico 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 bottle* in which this medicine is put up liave tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fevkr and Ague Curs” blown in the glass, and on tho outside w rapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tho proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits aud imitations. Tuk reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. Those will be considered sufficient.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Bept. 25,1855. Air. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Fir —1 cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in tlie family of a clergyman hero lias been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths with out any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of tlie Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got abottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Y'ours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Montickllo, UhL, Aug. 27, 1855. J. A.

If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as vapidly as possible in .o every town and village in tlie United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New Y ork, certifies to its per lrct 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 tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will bo noticed that tlie letters ot which l publish 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 hhl than evernttended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect nntidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects us a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of Intemperance or dissipation.
