The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attiuik, lull will apply with equal force to cases which have been ■ object ed to or have become reduced, corresponding ol courso to the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, ill all ordinary oases, when used sunn after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they bud been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tic y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm —It could liuvc been nothing of consequence—il would have passed oil w ith out anything—that medicine had uoellect.” The general impression on the subject id’ fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common cast as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully realize the truth; and even then lie may conclude them all very tifiling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of fuses, must •xpuct that there will cases occur where there Is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success id in reducing the fever, It will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard against disappointment in sucu cases that. 1 have given and frequently refer to what I have culled a “synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers In General- On this subject l wish to he fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” I 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 cause!, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development anil exhibit it variety of forms or typos; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and norvous systems—lnducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of bent, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in tin- opinion i advance, I quote from the celebrated I’rof. T. Watson, of King’s College, Condon, whose work on the “ I’rlnci pies aud Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, und consequently standard authority. On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Cow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are lo the full as particular: Mucous fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-JSnteric, aud SO forth. N'ow, admitting that fever shows Itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bait and hurtful. It eucourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no lino of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can bo relied on. They ran insensibly into each other, oven the un-st dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the sume cause.” The above is u great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the fully of hunting up or troubling you self about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well iisteiul of any distinct character being devel oped, sous to be properly mimed by the most scientific. This assertion is uu hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but 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 aud climates. Boar this m mind, and treat at once without regard to name, aud rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger Ing and dangerous fevers. But os cases may have be come developed bol'ore the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the -• Rules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for nil those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. tith. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever lias passed off, 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 the face and breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give Immediate relief.

As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate a this disease, no time should be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may bo neces sary till it operates: enemas (injections) may also lie used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel: also. c ’oM applications to the head.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly In decree, being all of a low grade, the pulse •mall 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 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 commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment— with a teaspoon fill of ‘‘Fluid” every two hours, till the puls, tscopi) fuller or laiger in volume, then to he continued IBM in tin or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.

As oil of these diseases are iittfiidod with fever, which ill bu t is the must pnuuim-nt symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Kemember never wail to learn the “nano,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, Imt treat it at once; govern the fever and there will In- no trouble; there will lie bill little eruption even iu small pox. This, hi most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will lie regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, ‘will be cut short ; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its ii.lining its ordinary course. On Ibis J will stake not only my reputation, b"t ail that I hold most dear ; besides, mi I his subject, 1 have good authority; that of I’rof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: “You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, ami keep down, it is believed, the nuwberjif the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission Unit it. may be done.

Give a ti-aspooiilul or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient; but il should Is: given anil repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When tin: throat Is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. in one case, on the ship Duchessd'Orleaus, the tongue and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could imt swallow or speak, und 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 take nuur ishimmt. in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best garg/e in all such cases.

This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoon In I. almost 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 ns the f-vc-r continues, as in other eases. The bowels of course should lie attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making n few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering, it is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid iu many of tlieir trials. In cliild-birtli, its relaxing arid soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.— I’aiuful 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 one of the most convenient 1 and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and irilability 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. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tho treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought lo he called, it should be ghen wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, wlicn such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. W licn such indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate means, and those soliuld be given while giving the “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 the *,Fluid” alone will sub due the 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, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended “ ith diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though If caused by irritability, tho “ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or iiitlamumtioii, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of l-ittef herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent puiu in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe the lci-t iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry mill hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tip: whole surface with water lit an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief und aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there w ill be no trou ble ; if tJn- 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 the patient has become re duced if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do nay good: for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if giveq plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the •• Fluid - ’ and it cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the •• Fluid” at the same time ns directed, mul success will crew ii your efforts; indeed, yen can net realize it till you have seen, aud then you will be astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement.

LSMA. ‘l'llKaK diseases are common to many localities of the I United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from the same uiiasmul cause. The great variety of symptoms aud forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age, sex, cfmstilution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By 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 specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from .Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition ol 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 toall who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing tin-unerring affinity subsisting between op jsisites, llicre is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, . Tile Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it. even in tin- open air, mid when taken inter nally com plutely purities the system affected by it of its l>uii<-lill influence, and thus restores und preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, aud un known lo any but tin- proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: Il will instantly cheek the ague in persons who lime suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by containing its use, according to the direc tions. a radical cure will he 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 the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility aiul Mght Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cinrs. Thu patient at once begins to rei ver appetite and strength, and continuesto improve ini.il restored to perfect health. By its use Fever und Ague may be- banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, ami all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations ill 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 flic- CURE in every part of Hie 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 the most caudid minds, because all ihe 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. liavo been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salieine, Ac. The 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 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 be taken with perfect safety, oven 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 Eniire M;> s in Itssncss, The idlowing certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists ]n the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle : New York, Jure 11, 1865. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have teßted it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine ami 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. CHILTON, M. D„ Chemist.” It i a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, bnt to do an 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 clans 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 mi l 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 in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Tako 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 it 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 tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tile object of which is to cleanse tho stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must iie taken or the operation of the antidote will he 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 the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo 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 bo( ties iu which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aocb Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) aud the signature of tho proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. Ttie reliance for its success is entirely upon its ACTUAL MERITS, wherever introduced and used.

Rhodes —Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the cenetit it has been to me. 1 was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several mouths since, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment 1 adopted, my health grew xvorse 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, T 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’ F’ever 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 lie sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves themedi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Soonsboro, 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 the :am ily 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 ol’ the Cure and has 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 xvorks 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 ot Medicine here tor about three years, and can con scientiously recommend yotir 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, 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 a.s rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas, Ac. 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, just as they please. 1 can also say that u great many of mv 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 i publish su h 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 sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy. The 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 the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single at'nck 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 pt rfevt 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.
