Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life Tho above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediatn treatment on tile first attack, but will apply With equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of (lie ease at the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual und perma nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used soon ufter the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they hud been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they wer • not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—lt could have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with oul anything—that medicine had noeflecl.” The general impression on the subject of lever is such, that thoughts uot unlike the above follow the cure of u common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed ninny eases that he can fully realize the truth; and even then lie may conclude them all very trifling Cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful iu 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 successml in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “ f luid'’ passes oft. as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such canes that 1 have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Krmni-ksoii Fevers Iu tienernl* On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood, lly the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox anil other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and In quite dissimilar constitution* ami 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 chiua* fer istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre queiicy iu the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am uot wholly alone in the opinion I advance, ! quote flout the etdebrafed i'ruf. T. Watson, of King's College, l.iimlon, whose work on the “ Princi ples und I’ractlcuof Physic” is a text book in many of ■ air medical colleges, and consequently standarUauthurity. On page 834, lie says:—“We hear continually, liotli in and out of tlio profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Ily the public. Typhus Kevur, Drain Fever, bilious Fever, I’utrld Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Oastro-Kntertc, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is had anil hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe lor a disease according to its mime. Them is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the sumo cause.” The above ia a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting np or troubling you self about a “name;” If yon have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well .nstead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to ho properly named by tho 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 und climates. Hour this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing ami dangerous levers. But as cases may have bo coinu developed before the “Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible tho proper course to bo pursued in all of the most prominent lovers, though the “ Rules” and “Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. A'uitJ important to be observed in all cases in using Ihe Negative 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 bo froe from all currents of air, (though there should always bo freo ventilation in tile sics roum,) nor attempt to go about while under its in ti ueuce. * 3d. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides, or is ovideutly passing off; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any dreumstanoes. Ith. Win n the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned aa to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to cenverso, 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 bo allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or loss interested, but be left quie to all Intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long ns the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, cither cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. 6th. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so iis 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 witli 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 and under 2 years, “ 6to 16 “ “ “ 2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 30 “ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All person ( over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful Is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much ns 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 taketi full doses; but for a little guide, 1 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 tunny perfectly astonished. My object in hoing thus particular is, that tho full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. UUions or Remittent Fever. Give a tcaspoulul 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 promluent local symp toms, or known locul existing causes, they should be attuuded to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Sy uopsis. If in any case the b wol* are particularly constipated or confined, give a • ohartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must bo opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, aud the patient is uot particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine —not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two tcaspoonsful may be given at first with advantage, and even ie|a*ated in two hours—ls It—the pulse—has not been softened, thus showing the medicine lias takeu 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 iu taking effect. Cmigcstlve Fever. Give two taasp ionsful 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 iu tills disease, no time rliouUl be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat ns may be neces sary till It operates: enemas (injections'! may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with tlie hands or fiannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever. Typhus. Mitpniiil Putrid or kpoltid Fever. As these fevers arc all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small tuid wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, w hen fully developed, a little patience will bo required; still comparatively little, ns they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced —whieh may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of “ Fluid ’ every two hour*, till tho pulse become* fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued oooe in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In bail cases, from three to five grains ascii of quinine and eu/isicuiu (Cayenne pepper; or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be milled to each dose. The bowels should bo kept gently open, and small portions of some liepalu should be given occasionally, even though the bowels should lie very loose. Tho patient should lie sustained by nourishing ami mucUagenous drinks—such as are iu common use in such cases. Where the skin is very dry,'sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will in- found advantageous. Tonics sin hi Id lie used during convalescence, in ail eases which have heroin,, reduced Pl*-. iiiiKiniu, Typhoid Pin- union in, l.mig or Winter Fever. Give a tea-js sin till nf the “ Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of Isibeset; or hall tiie quantity may tie given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should lie given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, lobe applied over the seat ol pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Itubeohi sml Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, anil Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with lever, which iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment diff< is hue little from that ol common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with freer, but treat It at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will Is* but little eruption even in small pox. Tills, to most minds, is anew idea, ami doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will lie rul short; attended with hut little erup tion; little or no pitting, und that there is no necessity of Its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation. lint all Unit I bold most dear; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; tiial of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 871: “Von may.abate the force of tin* eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the puytidej by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission mat it may lie done. I nave not only proven it may lie, but has been done jn numerous cases that occurred on hoard ship. See the account appended. Give a teuspooniu) or more, according to tiie urgency of tils case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once iu two hours it necessary, until the feversub sides —though out* or two doses is genera.ly sufficient; but it should lie giveu and repented sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When tiio throat is affected, any of tlie ordinary gargles may lie used, and the surface bathed, as though* advisable. In one case, on tin* ship Duchess d'Urlcans, the tongue and fa lieu, were so much swollen thst Hie patient cuuld not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on hi* tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow, when ii was given in Uasp* uful doses every hour, till all anana.ng symptom* disappeared. The swelling of the throat was resinned so as t. enable him to take 11 oilr lshi(*nl in siseil twelve houre by tile Fluid alone.— l sod h* wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the . best peiTOit in all such cases. PiM-rpornl or Cliildbrd Fever. Till’ heretofore painful, dangerous aud alarming malady to which tile mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Klectric Fluid w ith sueh readiness, as to seem to tic of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teasjKionful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need Is* entertained, as tlie Fluid will arrest it iu a short time, it should lie re peated as long as the fever continues, as iu other cases. The bowels of course should bo attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot retrain from making a few generul remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain ami suffering. It is to inform them of tho happy effect of tlie Fluid iu many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains ami difficulties; it must be tried to in* 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 tlie most convenient ami effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the niostsoofany medicine known, its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie 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 sooth and quiet tiie system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use in so many oases. Synopsis, To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid will change the condition called tever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the 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 romoved in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection witli 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, l 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 “ith diarrhoea, give something known to 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, u mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho part; if violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin dry and liot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar und water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; it tin* 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 any 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” 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, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will lie astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Forties 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 wo such necessity when using the Fluid, aud to be fully understood by all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz;— Cathartic*.—Articles that purge or operate on the boxvcls, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, nntibiliuns, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic a.—Any thing known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another blue moss the third, podophyllln—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on: each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, -mcli as quinine, various barks. roots and bitter herbs.

Tlie great variety of symptoms aud forms ol disease is owing principally to difference ill age, sex, constitution und habits ol the sufferers; but as tlie cause i* lira -ame, they will all equally yield too remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Hy tie laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, aud lor ** very di****as<*, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, *n* in other words a specific remedy. All .Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition ol aniiuul and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tin* same in character and effect; is a poi- I son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posite.-. there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, * Tlie Natural Antidote to Maluriu, which neutralizes tin* poison whenever it comes in con tact w itli it. even in tho open uir, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected hy it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the followingextraordinary results from it* use: It will instantly cheek the ague in persons yvho have suffered tor any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to tlio direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected; tho patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. in ils operation upon the poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlio disease is cured, it w ill entirely prevent the accession of General Debilily und Night Sweats, which so often follow* the administration of other mode* cities.

When these declarations w ere made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tin* most candid minds, because nil tlie resources ol’ science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilions diseases; and what was still worse tor ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, galicine, &c. 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 are snperadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers ol’ them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, evefi 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 cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular ami Entire Harmlessnesu, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists m the United States has been obtained, and a cbpy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “I 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 tho constitution. “JAMES R. CIIIUTON, 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 Remeny 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 be taken in advance. This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one aril 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 attack. Take tlie Cure as 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 hl taken or tlie operation of tho antidote will he seriously ob structed. Only Caution* —In certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu sleeping rooms; for the 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 aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained iu the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exjsised to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put lip have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) ami the 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 ami used. These will be considered sufficient.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent an order to Ames & Halliday for another half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,” and I have only two bottles ou hand. One reason it lias sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, I 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. I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, hut the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 21 Bottles Perform 24 Cures.

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 1 adopted, my health grew worse until 1 commenced the use of your F’ever and Ague Cure.— Since thst time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health.

Plymouth, Richland 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 tamily 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 a charm. Y’ours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of Medicine here lor about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with per/eet 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.HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find itiu every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly ns possible into every town und village in tiie United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. .1. R. Chilton, ot New York, certifies to its per iod innocence, it is therefore optional with nil 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 the Cure on commission. Tliev thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters ot which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than tilt any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its tree use as a preventive. Thus protected bi asing a bottle or two during the warm and sicklv sea sons, uot a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Y'ellow 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 quirk and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life aud strength to alt whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened bv Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
