To show lliut l am nut wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, ol King's College, Loudon, whose work on the “Princi ples and Practice Os Physic” Is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently staiulardaiilhorit g. On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both iu and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of.

It encourages a deposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe lor a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They rnu insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, nml are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name,” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you wilt lie well iustcuil of any distiuctchnrac.ter being devel oped, so iu to h properly named hy the most scieutiiic.

Synopsis. To uvuid constant repetition, and condense the 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 to he culled, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed ill order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving tho “ Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when occasion requires, us 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 tlie fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels arc 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 dhu-rhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, tho “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if sevore 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 the part; if violent pain iu tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and hutlie the feet in hot water: if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, ‘with great suffering, spougo or bathe tlie whole surface with water at au agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar iunl water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tie- medi cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted. give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu abseuco 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 tho stomach to do any good; for this purpose I 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” nnd a cathartic if necessary : in short, treat all the prominent symptoms us you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, ami success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you havo seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease w ith which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at ft loss to know what is mount by cathartics, Ae„ as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using tho Fluid, and (o be fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz tixtlinrt les.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowel*, sueli as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or bark*. and many pills, untibilions, Ac,: anything known to he good for such purposes.

On this account ague sufferers should Is- particularly c areful about using any secret Fever and Agne remedies, notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert they may bo taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons.

CHILTON, M.

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 the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tlie diseases baing produced hy one ani the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves l>y the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their Veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take ttie Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions nnd advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by n distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.

U A Vl.\u noticed th* certillcato of chemical analysis given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. K. Chilton, ol New York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, that it eoiiiaiued neither Quiuine, Arsenic, Ater -1 Urp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. f ßhodes tor the medirhie. f*lneo then I have disposed of a large quantity, mostly to resideutsof this city, who have inva riably been cured by it, aud to whom 1 can refer. 1 am, therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be all that the proprietor represents.

Truly yours, LATHItOP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fex r er. Providence, Sept. 22, 1865. Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured by your Temedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of til,* benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months since, nnd 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 tht lime I have not had a single chill, and am now iu the enjoyment of good health.

Iu 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 pulling medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm.

This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.—Odd Fellow, Hoonshoro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Fept. 25, 1855. Air. J. A. Rhodes,—Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to tlie value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady iu 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 aud lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam sumo time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. l ours truly, Rov. A. C. DCBOIS. I'nsullclted Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in the practice ot Medicine hero 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 succors. Respectfully yours, W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. K„ Ga., Jan. 1, 1860. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been lully cured by only one bottle, and de sired uie to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. ‘ \\. 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 iu the United Ftates, Canadas, A-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 Ague or not, just 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 tlie Cure on commission. They thought its groat claims ar 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 attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yollow Fever, or any form of disease urising from the atmospherle 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 anil strength to all w hose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
