It urn urages n disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, ami are often traceable to t lie same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your miiios the folly of hunting up or troubling you self about a•• name,” if you have fever, treat it at. once as hereafter directed, and you will he will instead of any distiuctcharaeter being devel oped. so as to la, properly named by the most scioutiflo.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of u low grade, ihe pulse small and w iry, with a general great depression, there is no practical u<e in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commune- ‘ —which may immedial-'ly follow any other without detriment—with u teaspoonful of •* Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse beci tnes fuller or lat ger In volume, then to be continued >nee in iix or eight hour* till the fever entirely subsides. | 111 leal cases, from three to llvit grains each of quinine ; and capsicum (Gnyeuuo pepper) nr some tonic and .-litiiu hnit (see auxiliaries) should lie added to each dime.

This, to most minds, is anew idea, and ikmbtless will he regarded w ith ridicule hy many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will he cat short; attended with hut'little erup tion ; little or no pilling, and that there is no necessity of ils running its ordinary course. On tins l will stake not only my reputation, hut ad limit hold most dear; besides, on this subject, i have good authority; tlmt of Prof. Watson, previously quoted.

(live a teaapoouful of more, according to the urgency of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though oue or two doses is generady sufficient;’ hut il should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep the lever under control. When the throat is affected, any of llie ordinary gargles may he used, nml the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Dm liess d’Orleans, tlie tongue and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on liis tongue, drop hy drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teasiioonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of (lie throat was reduced so its to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tlm throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle iu 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 to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a twispoiiiiful, almost invariably giving entire ami per manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re peated as lung as the fever continues, us in other cases. Tlie bowels of course should he attended to. In connection with this Hiihjrct, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded hy the ladies, will suvo them much pain mot Muttering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing anil soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains ami difficulties; it must lie tried to ho appreciated.— Painful menstruation will he relieved at once hy a com mon dose and retiring. Kestlessness, nervous irritability, or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved hy ilsuse; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not tlie most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability ami iritubility of the nervous as well ns the circulatory. II will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis, To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, X give under this head general directions for all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the mime it limy he or ought lo lie called, it should be giieu 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. Wlien such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it. when occasion requires, as they will then more readily art, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due lime, repeal the dose; if attended with diurrliiea. 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, n blister, f. mentations 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 feel 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 iu taking effect, after which there will lie no trou ble ; if the patient lias lieen reduced or is much prostra ted. give tonics ami stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also during convalescence, when the putieut has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm Water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid ‘ and a cathartic it necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as y on would under any other circumstances, giving the ” Fluid'’ al the same time as directed, aud success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realise it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished lit the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement.

The great variety of symptoms and tortus of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution anil habits of the sufferers; but us the cause is the same, they will all equally yield ton remedy 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 word* a spediio remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared binds, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son flouting in the atmosphere,causing disease toall who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws govciuiug the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tlie preparation before its. offered to the public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes tlie poison w henever it comes in con tact with it, even iu the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected hy it of its baneful influence, aud tlms 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 use; it will instantly check tlie ague in persons who have suffered lor nny length of time, from one day to twenty years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a riulical euro will bo effected; tlie patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to -malaria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relievo all tile distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tlie accession of General Debility’ and Night Sweats, Which so often follow the administration of other mode cities. The patient ut once begins to reever appetite aud strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. liy its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Prevent! vc, And pursue their respective avocations iu 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 of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. M’lieu these declarations were made, at tlie date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources of science hail been taxed in vain to 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 fioisouous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fia.il, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .tie superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever anil Ague remedies, notwithstanding the 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 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 and Entire Harmlessness, Tlie ioliowing certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle : New York, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, anil 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 iu its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D„ Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of nny baneful ingredient makes tliis 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 anl tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlio timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tlie poison hi fore 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 antibilions purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil. the object of which is to c.eanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must betaken or tlio operation of the antidote will lie seriously ob structed Only Caul ion.—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 the vapor rising from the medicine, unit also tlie air waited across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it. utter the liquid is evaporated, will counteract tiuii ucstroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.

The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, mid on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will lie considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RIIODKB, Providence, K. 1. For sale iu Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS A CO., February 10. 1836. ly Druggist.-.

Having beeu-hiformed of the iihn-ss of a poor, but worthy woman, who lias nut been fre e from Fever anil Ague a month at a time for tlie last twelve years, I .sup plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure. Bile took in all four bottles which completely re stored her to health aud strength, and as four mouths have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma nency of the cure. C. A. P. MABOF, Apothecary. 70 Bottles Perform 70 Cures. Constantine, Mich., Bept. 2-lth, 1855. James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear flirt —1 have just scut mi order to Atues A. Ualliilay for another half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure, ft has sold like “ llot Cakes,” and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it lias sold, is because when 1 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 nr.t obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I hail oue ease 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. 544 Bottles Perform 24 Cures.

Rhodes —Dear Sir—The box of “ Ague Cure” you sent us has all been sold and created a large demand lor more) to meet which wo have ordered from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington.

Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855. Du. J. A. Rhodes— Dear Sir — Your Cure for the Fever and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It lias not failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent cure.

Truly yours, LATHROP A MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1555. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills aud fever on the 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 I have not hud a single chill, and am now iu the enjoyment of good health. M'isliing your m ‘dicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. Iti another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” M e are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that M'm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, wlio has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lms effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and wo take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Roonshoro, Aid. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Bept. 25,1865. 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 bottle of tlie Cure and lias uot 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, hid., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes— Dear Sir — l have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, anil can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with per feet success. Respectfully yours, ‘ ‘ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. It., Ga., Jan. 1,185 G. Y'our 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. T shall do all I can in its sale. ‘ ‘w. A.IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it iu every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible in o every town and village in iho United Btates, Canadas, Ac. The eminent cheni ist. Dr. J. K.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per lect 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 uiy 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 nut be realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will lie noticed that tlie letters oi which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove tlie 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 sea sons, not a mau 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 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 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.
