It is to guard against disappointment in suen cases that I have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” ItcimirkM on l'' vers In General* On this subject I wisli to be fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which tho human frame it subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great, variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and lialiiis, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that 01 undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—lnducing more or lc - unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the eelebrafeil I'rof. T. Wutson, of King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthor ily. On pige 834, he says “ YVm hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of.

Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, lain persuaded that the effect upon the mind of ul I this snli-divislon, Is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no tin ■ of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of thorn, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance aud 1 Would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you self nlmiit a “ name;” If you have lover, treat it nt once ns hereafter directed, and you will he well .ustoud of any (list (net character being devel oped, so as to In* properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula tlons or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of tile sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under n great variety of cir rum-dunces, Seasons and climates. Hear this in mind uud treat ut once without regard to name , anil rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing uud dangerous fevers. Hut us cases may liavo bo come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describt us briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though Die “ Rules’ and “Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

Quinine tnay be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Sym psls. Nervous Fever, Ty-pluts, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, living all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, n little patience will be required; still comparatively little, ns they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this hut a few days will he necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a tsaspootiful of ” Fluid “ every two hours, till the pulse become- fuller or taiger in volume, then to lie continued tnce in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In hod eases, from three to five grains each of quinine and eapsicum (f'uyotine pt'Pis-r) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The bowels should ho kept gently open, uud small portions of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should |>e sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous drinks—such as are in common use in such coses.— Where the skin is very dry, swinging the surface as di rected ill bilious fever, will be found advantageous.

Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Ncarla t Inn ; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment dilb rs hue little from that of common fevers. Itoiueiubcr nover waif to learn the “ name,'’ whether it Is ono or the other, or neither , ns they all commence with fever, but treat it nt once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will be bill little, eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, nnd doubtless will Unregarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will he cut short; attended with hut little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, but ud that i hold most dear; besides, on” this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Wutson, previously quoted. He says, page 8H: ” Von limy abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. (live a teaspoonful on more, according to tho urgency of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in'two hours if necessary, until tho fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; hut it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever undor control. When the throat is ulfected, any of tho ordinary gargles may be used, nnd the surface bathed, us thought advisable. in one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and bilious were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to tako nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless the beet gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore puinful, dangerous and alarming innlady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tho Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, utmost 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 fever continues, as iu other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 Cannot refrain from malting a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will suve them much paiu uud suffering. It is to in form them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com iniiii dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by itHuse; in short, it is one of the most convenient and ett’ectuai remedies formally of the ills of females, if not (lie must 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 so many cases. Mynopsls. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As tho 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 be culled, it should bo given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soliuld bo given while riving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when iccasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary lime will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub due tile fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, aud should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tho feet in hot water; if the lever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; •‘tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, cither will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if the patient has beeu 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 tlio stomach to do any good ; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” uud a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms ■is you 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 be astonished at the ease wiih which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about w hat is used. 1 have found ho such necessity when using the Fluid, aud to lie fully understood by nil, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cat hart lc s. —Articles that purgo or operute on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; uuything known to lie good for such purposes. Hepatic a.—Anything 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 in connection with tho •• Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And oue may choose calomel—another, blue mass—Die third, podopliyllln—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on: each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, mils and bitter herbs. Holie st 1 ; or Ihoroughworl is oue of the best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such us check the action of the bowels. Laudnnumand other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents whieli have the effect. ’ Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac-., tlie essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a het'er “ dia phoretic.’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “ sedative” than known in tho materia medico. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list ‘of proofs depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to one iustunce of success, that ou the Paclartallip Duchess D'Orlcaus. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates; We, the uudersigued, certify to the’ following, viz We took passage on the jiacketship Duchess d’Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying iu the port of Havre. France’ and bound for New York. She sailed ou the 9th of Au gust, 1861, w ith over a hundred souls on board, niostlv emigrants- A lew days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out omoug the emigrants.

States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from the same miusmsl cause. The great variety ot symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but us the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Uy the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or iu other words a speciflc remedy. All .Mularia, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character ami effect; is a Jen son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is iu the preparation before us, offered to the public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the jxiison 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 influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to uny but the proprietor, who distinctly elaiins the following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check tho ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, ami liy continning its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exjiosure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its ojieration upon the jxiison in the system, it will immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoniß of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other inede cines. The jiatient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use F’ever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And jiursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuablo part of the year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every purt of tlie United States, its success has been so complete aud unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions iu favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at tho date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlie most candid minds, because all (lie resources of science bad been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wbat was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, havo been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saliciue, Ac. The effects of theße are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, aud when such remedies fail, or give only temjiorary relief, their ftoisunuus effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may he taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that tho Remedy is not only valuablo on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists m tho United Suites lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evei y bottle: New York, June 11, 1856. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ F’ever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but havo not found a particle of either in it, nor have lfound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to re.ieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by pre wilting the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Heme .y 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 the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and tlie same cause, uud therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use of tliis preventive, and not wait for the poißon already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does 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 be taken or the ojieration of the antidote will bo 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 in sleeping rooms; for tlie vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud estroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the ajiartment. This mode of exhibiting the 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 Aouk Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tho copyright of which is secured) and tlie 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 be considered sufficient, l’repared and sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RIIODFIS, Providence, U. I, For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1856. ly Druggists.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent an order to Ames 4 Holliday for another half gross of your F’everaud Ague Cure. It lias sold like” Hot Cakes,” and I have only two hottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is liecause when l 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, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 21 Bottles Perform 24 Cures. Moline, IU., Sept. 24, 1855. Mb. James A.

We remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS 4 ALLEN. 10 Bottles Perform 19 Cures. LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER. Maxwell, Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your medicine lias met with the most favorable success in this neighborhood. I have about five bottles left. I give it to them at first, ‘if no cure no pay,’ although 1 was not authorized by you to do so; but 1 took tlie responsibility on myself.— But not a bottle has come back, and as 1 am almost out of tho article I wish you would forward me one gross of the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will be punctual in payment.

Some who have been troubled with the distress ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one bottle of the Cure. Please send u-< immediately four dozen, as we have hut three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATIIROP 4 MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. 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 F'ever and Ague Cure. — Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur m -dicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, aud we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1856. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the :amily of a clergym iu here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of tho 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. Y r ours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticbllo, lnd„ Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of Medicino 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 has overcome all prejudices by its merits, aud given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only oue bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A.IIAYLES. 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 into every town and village in the United States, Canadas. 4c. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. 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, j ust 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. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which 1 publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newsjiaper. and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Croxvning'Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a mini 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 as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all w hose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilions diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
