To show that i am not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on thu “ Prlncl plus and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently slandardaulhorilg. Du p.ge Hill, he says;—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different s|ieoles of fever spo ken of. lly the public.

There is no lin ‘ of genuine distinction between continued lovers that can lie relied ou. They run insensibly into eacL other, even thu ui >st dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to thu same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you self about a “ nunw;” if you have fover, treat It at once as hereafter directed, and you i ill Or well iistead of any distinct character being devel oped, sous to he properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula tions or visions oi mind, hut ou experience at the hud side of the sick, in hundreds, nyo, thousands of ruses (by myself and others) under a great variety of clr cumstanoes, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and truut ut once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing uud dangerous fevors. But as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under sumo other treatment, I will describe us briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in all of thu most prominent fevers, though the “ Itules” and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

Give a teaspooufiil or more, according to the urgency oi* the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; rcpe.it the Fluid once in two hours If'necessary, until the fever stib siiles—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may lie used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d'Orleans, the tongue and faueux were so nun Ii swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, anil he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given in teaspoon lul doses <ei eg hour, tili all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling ol the throat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Deed to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best 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 the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as Id seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two ol’ a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm nerd be eulertuiiied, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re pealed as long as tho fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels ol'couJ'Ho 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 Ilium much pain and suffering. Ii is to inform them of thu lutppy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, Its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the latsir of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring, itestlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, ii not tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing ull excitability and iritubility of tlie nervous as well us tlie circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet tlie system so tliut one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use iu so many cases. .Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions lor all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid will change tho condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to lie called, it should lie giv en wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should he appropriate means, and those sohiild lie given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, ns they will then more readily tut, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then lie lost As the % Fluid” alone will sub due tlie fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bowels are costive, givu a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, anil should it fail to operate in due time, repeat thu dose: if attended with diarrluca, give something known to lie good lor that complaint, though if caused liy irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local I min or inllammutkiii, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or soino cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry mill hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water ut an agreeable temperature; “tlie 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 bus been reduced er is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in lew fevers, ill 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 tlie stomach to do any good: for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, ii given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when (lie stomach has settled, give the •• Fluid” ami i cathartic it necessary : in short, treat all the prominent symptoms ts you would under any other circumstances, giving the • Fluid” at the same time as directed, mill success w ill crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it nil you have sis'n. and then yen will be astonished at the ease wt.li which you can control all febrile excitement.

Since the introduction of the GUILE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor ol its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made at the date of its in trod net.ou, they seemed incredible to many, even of Hu* most candid minds, because all tlie 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 scient.lic or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsen.c. Quinine, Mercury, Saliciuo, Ac. I he effects ot these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail or give only temporary relief, their pois nous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s lirst complaint. Ou this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using auy secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may lie taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof thar tho Jtemedy 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 Harmiessnegs, The ollowing certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists jn the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evei y bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. ‘*l 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 It. (/HILTON-, M. I)., Chemist.” It i’ a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Kemedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work hy preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Ileum .j’ not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as tlie one under consideration, if tlie 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 iu their veins, to develop itselt iu a violent attack. Take the Cure ns a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often he found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the objected which is to c cans the stomach and free tho biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he taken or the operation of the antidote will he seriously ob structed. Only Caution.— lll certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tho air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, w ill counteract and estroy, to a deg ee commensurate with its exp*/- sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise be 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 w rapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of Which is secured) and the signature of the propiietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for it success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

I was first attacked by chills and fever on tlie Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment l adopted, my health grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time 1 have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Bept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir —I cheerfully testily 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 bottle 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.

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 tlie United States, Cunadas, Ac. Tlie eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R.Chilton, ot 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. I 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 lie realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will bo noticed that the letters ot which 1 publish *u h immense quantities arc always new und lute 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 as a preventive. Thus protected hy using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would over have a single attack of Fever and Ague. Bilious or Yellow l evel. or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strenirth to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened hy Aitue or lliliini* diseases, night sweats, languor and ile jility or any kind ot intemperance or dissipation.
