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 ar<j more particularly applicable to tbs immediate treatment on the tirst attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course *0 the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. Ah this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when uHe*l soou after the attack, persons can scarcely reoli/.o that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tie y w* i • not attacked with fiver, and if ho, “it was trilling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have panned off with out anything—that medicine had uoefle* t.

It is to guard against disap|H>i!itnient in HUt*ii cases that 1 have given ami frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” lie marks 011 Fevers in ticueral* On this subject. I wish to he fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affection* to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fovera; hut s they arise hy a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar roiistitiithm# and habits, 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 ol undue excitement in the circulatory and iiervous systems—inducing more or less 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 celebrated Prof. T. Watson, ol King's College, London, whoso work on the “ Priori pies and Practice of Physic” Is 11 text hook in many of our tuedieal colleges, and consequently sbtndardaulhonl //.

This assertion Is no hypothesis based on closet specula fions or visions of mind, lait on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under u great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and 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 canes may have be come developed before tho ‘'Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies” and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.

In eouneelion witli t.hiH subject, I cannot refrain from making a lew general remarks, which, if regarded hy the ladies, will save them much paiu and suffering. It is to inform them of tlie happy effect of tlie Fluid iu many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once hy a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved hy its use ;iu short, it-is one of tho most convenient and etlectimi remedies for many of tlie ills of females, if not the most snofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability ami iritahility 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 ran sleep naturally anil healthy ; hence its use iu so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, und condense the treat ment us uuirh as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluiif will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may he or ought to he called, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a pennanunt cure. • . \\ lien such indications occur in any case, they should he appropriate means, anil t hese sohiild be given while giving tlie “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 tho‘, Fluid” alono will sub due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution und habits of the sufferers; hut as the cause is the same, they will all equally y ield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. Hy the laws of Nature, every principle has 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 front 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 floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, Tlic Natural Antidote to Malaria, wlii.ii neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, anil when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful inlluunce, and thus restores and preserves health. T lie remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims tile following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc tions. a radical cure will is; effected: t.he 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 relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlte disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the aoression of (jieucral Debilily and Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other rnede cities. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. Hy its use Fever and Ague limy be banished from every family and class in the community; fanners, me chanics, and all laboring people may he using this arti cle as a Preventive, Ami pursue 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 tlie introduction of the CURE in every part of tlie United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlie most candid minds, because ail the resources cf science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies gr treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, ic. The effects of these arc 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 he 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 their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that tlie Remedy is not only valuable 011 account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Wortliy us Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, Tho following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle : New YORK, June 11, 1855. ‘•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, hut have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. ‘•JAMES R. OIIILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It i- a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relievo the human family from malarious diseases, but to do au equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The 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 tlie one under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance. This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one an 1 tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves hy tlie timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tlie 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 hy a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach and free tho biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after tie)liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiec commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie 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 tlie words, •• Rhodes’ Fevhe and Agub Cuke” blown in tlie glass, and on tho outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits ami 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 tlie proprielor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. I, For sale in Columbus bv KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1856. ly Druggists.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but worthy woman, who lias not been fre e from Fever and Ague a moll til at a time for the last twelve years, 1 sup plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re stored her to health and strength, and as four months have now elapsed, there is uo reason to doubt tho perma nency of tlie cure. C. A. P. MASOF, Apothecary. 70 Bottles Perform 70 Cures. Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1855. James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent an order to Arnes & Halliday for another half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure, It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,” and I have only two bottles on luiud. One reason it has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, f have sent a bottle and told them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to (iay for it, aud they were all satisfied. I had one ease 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. £4. Bottles Perform 34 Cures.

Rhodes- —Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it lias 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 1 have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing y jur m tdicine 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 he found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for tlie benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsbilrg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi i ine to he good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Ml. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., 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 tlie 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 has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got ahottle 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—l have been in the 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 lias 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.HAYLES. 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 info every town and village in the United States, Canadas, tic. 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 tho Fever and Ague or not, just us 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 lie realised. Now they endorse them all. und it will ho noticed that the letters ot which I publish su ii 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 side than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Croxvning'Glory of tlie Cure is its HARMLESS CH ARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected h.v 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 Finer and Ague, Bilious or \ allow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlie 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 hy Ague or Bilious diseases, night sw eats, languor and de bility or any kind oi intemperance or dissipation.
