Other reasons might lie added, hut these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. , The above reasons are more particularly applicable to tlie immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course to tlie nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, iu all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, anil very naturally conclude tin y wore not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling —a little cold, whicli gave alarm —it could have been nothing of censoquence—it would have passed otl’ with out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the euro of a common ease as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed ninny ciisesthat lie can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trilling eases, which would have readily yielded pi any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful iu perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular a tic ■ l Lion, or though successlul iu reducing the fever, it will again rise us the influence of the “Fluid” passes oil, us the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment ill alien cases that i have given and frequently referto wliat 1 have ealled a “ synopsis.” Remarks <lll Fevers iu General* On this subject I wish to he fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar ('(institutions 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 ueivous 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, of King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority. On page 834, lie says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever, llilious Fever, Putrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac, And systematic writers are to the full ns particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Enteric, and 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 bad anil hurtful. It encourages a 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 ran lie relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of bunting up or troubling youiself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will l>f wrll instead of any distinctcharacter being devel oped, so as to he properly named by the must scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, blit on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, and treat at mice without regard to name, and rest ussurod you will soon lie freed from all iLcad of linger ing and dangerous fevers. Itut tvs cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under seme other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued ill all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synepsls” will lie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Rules important to tie observed in all eases in using the. Aegutive Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may ho sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always be free ventilation iu the Bick room,) nor.attsmpt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing oil'; to he resumed when it liegins to rise again, should such he the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must he left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not ho questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra noons influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, Hildas long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, cither cold or warm as parties may*prefor or patients desire. titli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after tin* fever has passed olf, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tlie face and breast may Vie bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF POKES. For ehildren of one year or under, from 3 to S drops. “ over l and under 3 years, “ ft to Ift “ “ “ 2 “ ft “ “ 12 to 30 “ “ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ “0 to 50 “ “ 8 “ Ift half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as uiueli as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular rare accessary 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, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing tlie above directions, the medicine w ill he found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in beiug thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and not on Hccouut of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. HI lions or Kemlt trill Fever, Hive a teospouful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oil; this constitutes the whole treatment in (ill simple cases ot fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the “Rules.” Rut should there lie prominent local symp toms, or kuowu local existing causes, they should he attended to at. once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. It 111 any ease the h wcls are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must be opened or tlie fever limy rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to tlie Influence of medicine—not easily operated on |iy medicine generally—a double dose, or two toaspoonsful may be given at first with advantage, ami even repeated in two hours—if It—the pulse—has not been softened. thus showing th medicine has taken effect. . Bathing the surface with water lit an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, viuegar or spirits and water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief and aid the uicdictne much in taking effect. Congrstlve Fever. Give two teaspeonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as tlie fever subside!. As tlie bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no time should lie lost to get them open; give some active cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary till it operates; enemas f injections) may also he used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may lie added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being 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, a little patience will be required: still comparatively little, as they frequently run woeksunder the common treatment, while with this hut a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commenced —which may immediately follow any other without detriment—witii • teaspoonful of “Fluid’’ every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued HIM in lix or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. Tn bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine. and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) nr some tonic and stimu lant (sue auxiliaries) should lie added to each dose. ‘J lie bowels should ho kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should lie given occasionally, even though the bowel* should he very loose, the patient should lie sustained by nourishing and muciiagenous drinks—such as aro in common use in such cases.— Where the. skin is very dry, tqionging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous. Tonics should he used during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. (jive a t •anpoouful of the “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or half the quantity may he given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours. The honeset ten should be given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to bn applied over tlie scat of pain; keep tlie bowels gently open. Vurioln, Vurltolotol, Riitoeoln and Scarlu lino; ur Small Ihn, Viirinloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment dilh rs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn tiio “name,” whether it is one or tlie other, or neither, us they all commence with fever, but treat it at, once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble ; there will b a but little eruption, even in small pox. T'liis, to most minds, Is a licw idea, anil doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated its 1 direct, will-bc cut short; attended witii but little eruje tlon; 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, hut ail that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of i’rof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “Von may 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 tiiat occurred on board ship. See the account appended. (Jive a teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency of the case, with a dose of suits or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours H necessary, until the l'eversub sidos—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; fait It should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the surface bathed, as thought, advisable. In one case, on the ship Ductlessd’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop hy 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 take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best yaryle in all such cases. Puerperal or Cliijdbcil Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tlie Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, us the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as tho fever continues, ns in other cases. The bowels of course should he attended to. In connection witii this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the Indies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform 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 [tains anil difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is oiio 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 tlie whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as tlie circulatory. It will not force .sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the 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, i give under this head general directions fur all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho name it may beer ought to he called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he 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 lie appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection witii it, when occasion requires, as they w ill then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost As the ’, Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 call ail else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie “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 tlie part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, witii great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surfuce with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar ami water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking oiled, 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, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tlie patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do any good: for this purpose 1 generally give some geutle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid “ and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “ Fluid” at tlie same time as directed, and success w ill crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease with 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 what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity w hen using the Fluid, and to he fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine l have referred to, viz : t'ntlinrtles.—Articles that purge or operate on the laiwels. such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots or harks, and many pills, nntiliilious, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. lleputles.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation mid secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools* for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliylltn—flic 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, roots and hitter herbs. Bono sei or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.

These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others ure generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known In the materia metiica. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will* only refer to one instance of success, that on the PnckctKltiji Duchess D'Orlemts. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz Wo took passage on the paeketship Duchess d’Orleatis Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’ and bound for Now York.

United States; but wherever they prevail. North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from tlie same niiasinal cause. 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 tlie cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy tliut 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 iu other words a sjiecific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal anti vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere,causing diseasetoall who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, ottered to the public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, oven In the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, ami thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to bo entirely new, and uu known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims the 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 ho effected; the 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 tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tlie accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other metis dries. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. Hy its use Fever anil Ague may bo banished from every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tho sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since tlie introduction of the CURE in every part of tho United States, its success lias 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, tiiey seemed incredible to many, even of tlie most candid minds, because all tlie resources of science had been taxed iu 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 poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, &c. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to the pour sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken witii 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, Tho following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in tlie United States has 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 the constitution. “JAMES R. 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 wliicli do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remqdy 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 tlie medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tho diseases being produced by oue ani tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, anil not wait for the poison 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 iu a Hilious 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 tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tlie object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it mist he taken or tlie operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.— 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, and also the air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate witii its expo sure, tho miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. Tliis mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoue Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the mime of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of tho proprietor. Tlieso precautions arc 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. Prepared and sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES. Providence, R. I, For sale iu Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1856. ly Druggists.

Truly yours, LATHROP & 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 uenefit it has been to me. 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 I adopted, my health grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever 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 he 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 tlie nttiicted. that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that lie sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi um-to be goed, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, ild. 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 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 w’orks like a charm. Yours truly, llev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Ptoysician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been iu 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 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. 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 into every town and village in tlie United States, Canadas, &c. 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 Agueornot, just as they please. I can also say tiiat a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ngo 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 tiiat tlie letters of which I publish su li 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 everattendeil any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning 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 tlie warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in tlie United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to nil 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.
