Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons lire more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to Os have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of tlie case at the time it is tirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tip y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have (Missed off with out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general Impression on the subject of fever is such, that tlmuglitH not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case ns naturally as men think at all; and it. is not until the individual lias witnessed ninny eases that lie can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them nil very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in |>erliupa hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great ns to require particular attention, or though success ill in reducing Urn fever, it will again rise os the influence of the “ fluid'’ passeH off, as tile exciting cause may still exist, it Is to guard against disappointment in suen cases that I have given and frequently refer to wliat I have called a “ synopsis,” Remarks on Fevers In General- On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great variety of cuiisvh, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of eourse differ considerably in tiieir development nod exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by tho same general character istics—that oi undue excitement in the circulatory und nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heut, dryness of the skin, debility, &c. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from tho celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work oil the “ Priori pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently xtaiularilauthority. On p.tgo 834, hessys;—“We hear continually, both iu and out of tho profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Ily tho public, Typhus fever, Drain fever, Bilious fever, Putrid fever, Low Fever, Nervous fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to tho full as par’teular: Mucous fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Uastro-Kntorlc, mid so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that tho effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bod and hurtful, it encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe lor a disease according to its tuiiiie. There is m. liu of genuine distinction between continued fevers that can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each otujr, oven ill.; iu ‘St dissimilar of them, uud ure often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a groat fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you self about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at ouce as hereafter directed, and you will be well nstosd of any distinct character being devel oped. so ns to bo properly named by the most scientific. Tills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula lions or visions of mind, hut on experience at tho bed side of tile sick, ill hundreds, aye, thousands of oases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cuiiistaiicus, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind and treat at ouce without regard to name, and resi assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger ing ami dangerous fevers, liut as cases may have be come developed before the ‘ Fluid” is given, eitiier by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will dose rite as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued ill all of tin; most prominent fevers, though llio “ itules” and “ Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick. It airs important to be observed in all eases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should lie given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may lie swoetened or not at pleasure. 3d. Patients must ho 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 be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently paesiug off: to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such he the ease under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not tio questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatovei till their cum natural fittings, independent of all extra neous influences, intluce them to rise or speak; noi should auy conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, hut be left quie to all intents and purposes. fith. Fluids should be allowed, while 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. Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or fuiutness while iu tho 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 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.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a toaspoonful is a common dose. Old persona do not require as much as young, or those in tho 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; hut for a little guide. 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, us 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 ot tile most sanguine realized, und many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ole servances. Hiltons or Hrmlllrnt Fever.

Congestive Fever. Hive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, tlien only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside). As the bowels are generally routined, and It is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no time should he lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the •• Fluid” ami repeat as may be neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also bo used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or frtcllou (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold appllc itloos to the head. Quinine may be added to the “ Fir ill” if thought advisable. Bee Synopsis. Rervaui Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, lining all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general groat depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as inv 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 the common treatment, while with this but a few days will lie necessary at lougest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should he commenced—which may immediately follow aav other without detriment—with a teaspoon fill of Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse become- fuller or lager in volume, then to be continued >nce in rv or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In hail cases, from three to five grains each of ./win me and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (soe auxiliaries) should lie added to each dose. The bowels should bo kept gently open, and small portions of some hc/nt ic should bo given oci asionally, even though Ihu bowels should be very loose. Ike patient should Iki sustained by nourishing and mitcilageiiotis drinks—such as are iu common use iu such cases.— Win-rathe skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected m bilious lever, will lie found ludvautogeous. Tonics should lie used .luring convalescence, iu all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. (live a teaspoon fill of tho “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of honoset; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, suy once in six or eight hours. The boueset lea should bo given warm till tho violent symptoms ure allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something oi the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variolu, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Meaales, and Scarlet Fever. As nil of these diseases are attended will* lever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs Imu little from tiiut of common fevers. Uomi-mber never wait to learn tin; “name,'’ whether it is one or the other, or neither , as they all commence with freer, but treat it ut once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will he but little eruption even iu sinuii pox. Tliis, to most minds, is anew idea, und doubtless will be regarded Willi ridicule by many. I 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, anil that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On tliis 1 will stake not only my reputation, hut all that 1 hold most dear; besides, ou this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: “ You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” llure is the odmiseioa that it tuay be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but bus been done ill numerous cases thut occurred ou board ship. Fee the account appended. Uive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of the case, witli a dose of sails or castor oil; repeat tile Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the feversub sides— though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should Is; given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. 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 Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue anil taueiis were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when ii was given in teaspoonful doses ecery hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat wus reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the tl.rout frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle iu all such cases. Fur i-jit!rn lor Child bed Fever. Tliis heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and 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 f*>ver continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, I 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 lmppy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose uud 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 formally 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 sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use in ho many cases. Synopsis, To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, 1 give nuclei- tliis head general ‘iirectionsfor all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may bo or ought to be called, it should lie 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 siicli indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate means, and these soliuld bo given while giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then bo lost As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate iu duo time, repeat tlie dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tho feet iu hot water; if tile 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 and water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient lias become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine w ill remain on the stomach to do nay goad; for this purpose I generally give some goalie emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tile stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “ Fluid” at tho same time as directed, anil 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. Parties may feel at a loss to know wliat is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about wliat is used. I have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all. 1 will name a tow of the different urth-lea of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cat hurtles.—Articles that purge or operate ou the bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autibilious, .ti'\; anything known to be good for such purposes. Ilopattcs.—Anything known to act on tlie liver particularly, portal circulation ami secretion* generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, w ill answer when used in connection with tlie “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel —another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—tlie fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc cess ful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such ns quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Hone set or tliorougliwort is one of tho best used in fevers. Astringriits.—Such as check the action ortho bow els. Istudanum and other preparations of opium are used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have tlie effect. St liiiulmtto.— Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tile only classes necessa ry til treating fevers, though ninny others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known iu the materia mi,lien. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly ou the results of a trial, ami will only refer to one instance ot'suceoss, that on tlie Pncketsliip Duchess D’Orlcans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the” following, viz— We took passage on the psrkotship Duchess d'Orleans, Capt Hutton, then lying in the pert of Havre, France’, and bound tor New York. She sailed on the tffli of Au gust. 1861, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the email pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated by the physician in charge. Dr. N. W.’Seat. with anew remedy of his 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 uot a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully eonviueed that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. Wo never before heard or read of febrile affection! being controlled with so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Dy the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son tioaliug in tlie atmosphere, causing disease toull who breathe it. In accordance witli those unalterable laws governing the uuerring afliuity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, The Natural Antidote 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 purities the system affected by it of its baneful iiillueuce, 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 following extraordinary results from its uso : It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered tor any length ut time, from one duy to twenty years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc tions. a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free front the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure io malaria should make its use again necessary. Iu its operation upon the poison in tlie system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Niglit. Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other medc cities. Tho patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. Ry its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using tliis arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tlie most valuable part of tlie year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete anil unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions iu favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed iucredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because nil ilie resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilions diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies foil, or give only temporary relief, their pois.nous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. Uu this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie 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 tha: 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 and Entire linrntlessness, The ollowing certificate from on of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle : New Y'urk, June 11. 1555. “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 the constitution. JAMES U. CHILTON, M. D„ Chemist.” It i- a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tho human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing tlie taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Rente iy net 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 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 for the poison already lurking iu their veins, to develop itsell in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice ns to diet arid habits of life prepared by a distinguished l’hysician 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 autibilious purgative. The very best thing tor general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to c.eaus the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, potir the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tho air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract ami , estroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. Tills mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie words. “Rhodes’ Fever and Acue Cure'’ blown in tlie glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tlie 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 bo considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, 1!. I, For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10. 1856. ly Druggists.

I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 31 Bottles Perforin 34 Cures.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Uliio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. .). 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 lias been taking au “ AGUE BALSAM” for some moutlis without any per manent benefit —a few days since she got a bat tle of the Cure and lias 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. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind.. Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —I have been in tlie practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, 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 lias 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.UAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tho CURE, which is being intro duced ns rapidly ns possible into every town and village in tho United States, Camillas. Ac. The eminent chem ist, DY. J. It. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tlie 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 they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters ot which I publish su 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. Tlie Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use ns a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly Ben sons, not a man woman or child iu the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, niglit sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
