As when known, It will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; pai ticularly while a dear friend is sick. fflh.-Kronniny of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. (fill.—Uconomy of I,llc.—As the cure is effected before aud without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of n futnl termination. Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of lile. The above reasons nr • mot e particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the iirst attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have lincome reduced, corresponding of course *o the nature of the case at the time it is find adminis tered. As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nont relief, ill all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y wer. not attacked with fever, and If so, “it was trifling —si little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of eeusequeticc —it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow tin* cure of n common case ns naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully realize the truth; aud even then he may conclude them ali very ti ifllng cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have tics'll thus successful in perhaps hundreds o! cases, must , xpect that there will cases occur wh. ro tlu re is anine organic or local cause so great ua to require particular attention, or though success ul in reducing the fever, i* will again rise as the Influence of the “ Hilid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in mien cases that I have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.” Rrmarks on Fevers In (lenrrah Oil this subject I wish to be fully understood. Ity the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but ns they arise hy a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions uiid liabila, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the some general character istics—that 01 undue excitement in tho circulatory and noVvous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency In the pulse, sense of hettt, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show Unit I am not wholly alone iri the opinion 1 advance. I quote from tho celebrated I'rof. T. Watson, of lviug's College, lamdon, wlioae work on tho “ J'rinci ples and Practice of Physic” is it textbook ill many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authenity. On p,ge kill, he says:—“We hear continually, both in uud out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, llrniu Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers ure to the full ns particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (laatro-Knteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself unucr various forms, I am persuaded thut the effect upon the mind of all this sllb-dlvisiou, is hail and hurtful. Jt eucuurages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre ecribo for a disease according to its mime. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fovers, that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each, other, even the most dissimilar of thorn, and are often traceable to thoßame cause.” The above is u 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 ns hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distinct character 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 nt the bed side of tins sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, aud 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 us briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the” ltules” and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Hides important to be observed in all rases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should bo given In threo or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. ltd. Patients must be free from all currents of air, ( though there should always bo free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must bo continued wheuerer the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to lie resumed when it begins to rise again, should such lie the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must he left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement.; should not be qnostioned as to tlieir wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise wliatevei, 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 less interested, but be left quiet to all Intents and purposes. sth. Fluids should bo allowed, wliilo giving it us plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. i.lli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness alter the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should lmvo 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. . TAULB OF DOSES. For children of cue year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “ “ “ - “ f> “ “ 12 to 30 “ “ f> “ 10 •• “ 20 to 60 “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teiuspoonlul is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much its young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as muVh as males. There Is no particular care necessary in giving It to children —those often years of ago frequently having taken full doses ; but for a little guide, l have given the above table, with the remark that, ns a general rule, children require more than adults tu proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found i.greeable In all of Its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that tho full benellt of the medicine may be obtained, and n it on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, Iming all of n low grade, the pulse email and wiry, with a general great depression, there Is no practical use lo separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will bo required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will lie necessary at longest to estahllah a permanent convalescence. The treatment should li commenced —which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with is tenspoonful of •* Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse become i fuller or latger in volume, then to be continued tace In six or eight hours till the ftver entirely subeides.

Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola ml 8i srln lino; or .Sum 11 !*<u, Varlclold, Measles, nnd Scarlet Fever. As ail of these diseases are attended with lever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the trealm, nt differs hue littU from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to loam the “ name.,” whether it is on* or tlie other, or neither, aJ they all commence with fever, but treat it at unco; govern the lever and there will he no trouble; tlicre will be but little eruption even in sill ail pox. This, to must minds, Is anew idea, aud doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is bo necessity ul its running its ordinury course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, but a I that I imid most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; tlmt of I'rof. Watson, previously quoted. Ii rays, page 874: “ You may abate tlie force of tlie eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tnat it may be d,,ne. I nave not only proven it maybe, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred oil board ship Fee the account appended. (live a teoapoonlul or more, according to the urgency of the ease, with a doee of salts or castor oil; repeat tho Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should bo given mid repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When tlie tliruut is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used,- am] the surface bathed, as thought advisable. 1 u one case, oil the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on bis tongue, drop by drop, til) lie could swallow, when ii was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced no as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone. — Used to Wet tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless the beet gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tlie Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem to be us little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire aud per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. . 1 u 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 ih to inform them of tlie happy effect of tlie Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its puius ami difficulties; it must be tried to lie 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 olio 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 w hole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous ns well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will south and (inlet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy : hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must bo removed 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 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” uloue will sul>- due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. 1 f the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in duo time, repeat tlie dose; if attended with diurrlucu, give something known to lie good for that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, tlie “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 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 ami water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if tliu patient lias 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 tlie stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms us you would under any other circumstances, giving the •• Fluid” at tlie same time ns directed, and success will crow n your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it (ill you have seen, aud then you will be astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a lean to know wlmt is meant by cathartic*. Ac., ns physicians me usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, X will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cat hart leu.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autlbiliuus, Ac.: anything known to be good fur such purposes. —Anything known to act oath* liver particularly, portal circulation am: secretions generally.

Ami one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliylliu—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may lake his clmico and be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs, liono se. or thoruugliworl is one of the best used in fevers.

Stimulant a.—Articles that raise or eVclto the system. Capsicum (Cayenne poppcri is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less itituu'atlug. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are genet ally used, but tile Negative electric Fluid is a bet'er “dia phoretic.” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and •sedative” than knowu in the muttria medico. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on the results of a trial, end will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Parkclshlp Duchess D'Or-lran*. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates : Me, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz Wo took passage on the paekctsliip Duchess d’Orlcans Cnpt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France', and lamnd for New York. She sailed on the Util of Au gust, 1861, with over n hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W.

During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, then 1 were about eighty cases of small pox. some fever, Ac., and not a single death. AH were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Scat oti the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues.

Night sweats, and all other forms of disease WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN MiXLiiVILZik OK MIASMA. ‘I'lH.-l-; diseases are common to many localities of the J United .States; but wherever they prevail, North, A.iith, r.a.i or West, they all equally spring from the same mianiiiai cause. Ihe great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex. constitution and habits of the sufferers; but us the cause is tlie sums,they will all equally yield toareinedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or Cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All .Malaria, whether arising from .Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition ol animal uud vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character aud effect: is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it !u accordance With those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posite.-.. tirere is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, lire Natural AiiflUotc to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence., and tints restores uud preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un knowni to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the follow ing extraordinary resulis trout its use: it will in tantly check the ague in persons who have suffered ibr any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to tlie direc tions. a radical cure will bo effected; tho patient contin uing free from the corn plaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In i: operation upon the poison in tho system, it will immediately relieve nil the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, ip w ill entirely prevent the accession of . General Debility and liight Sweats, which ko often follow the administration of other mode cities The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to Improve until restored to perfect health. By it use l ever arid Ague may be banished from ever}’ family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And puisne 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 in every part ol tlie United States, Its success has been so complete and unvarying a3 to have fully proved these assertions in fa vor of its extraordinary merit. When those declarations were made, at tlie date ol its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all ilie resources of science had been taxed in vain lo 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 ns 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 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 then 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 Kntlre Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists in tho United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evciy 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, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES E. 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. Tho 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 be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and 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 tlieir veins, to develop’ itselt in a violent attack. Take the 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 r. 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 costivencss, it must he taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln 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 tho 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 ucstvoy, to a degioo commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise he resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up‘have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure ’ blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tho medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tho signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will he considered sufficient.

Rhodes, Esq. —Dear Sir: —1 have just sent an order to Ames & Halliday for another half gross of your Fever aud Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,” and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when I have heard of a case 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, aud they were all satisfied. I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN I’. GLADDING. 2i Bottles Perform 11 Cures.

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 I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, aud am now in the enjoyment of good health.

This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellmu, Boonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. K viilelice from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland C 0,., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, — Dear 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 months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a liottle of the Curo and has not had a chill since. A young man also used file same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. .1, A. Rhodes— Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, aud can con scientiously 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. I',. Ga., Jan. 1, 1850. 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. HAYLKS. 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 in: o every town and village in the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. .1. R. 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 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 be realised. Now tbev endorso them all. and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish au li 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 Crowning Glory of the Curo is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm ami sickly sea sons, uot 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 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.
