Other reason* might be added, but these iu'u doomed

The above reasons alv more particularly applicable to

apply with aqual force to cases which have been subject

At this remedy gives so prompt, effectual nnd perma
aant relief, in aJJ ordinary rasos, when used soon alter
the attack, parson* can scarcely realize that they had
Laau really mush sick, and vary naturally conclude th y
wee i not attacked with fever, and If ao, “It wets trifling
-a little cold, which gava alarm—it could have been
nothing of censoquence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine hiul no effect.” The general
uupraasion on the subject of fever is such, that thought*
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and It Is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that he ran fully
tealUe the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all vary t ifltng cases, which would hav readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persona, though they have
bean thus successful In perhaps hundred* of cases, must
oxpect that there will casee occur whi rs there I* some
erganlc or iocal cause so great as to require particular
ktteution, or though succese ul In reducing the fever.
It will again rise aa the Influence of the “ fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It U to guard
against disappointment in sueu rases that I hove given
aud frequently refer to what 1 hava called a “ synopsis.”
Rviuarks on fevers in Uvnerai
v>n ibis subject I wish to be fully understood. My the
• vriu “fevers,” 1 comprehend ull febrile affection* to
which the human frame is subject, Including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety or causes, and lu quit# dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of count differ considerably In their
development and exhibit a variety of forma or types;
yet all arc distinguished by the same general character
.•tics—that o. undue excitement in the circulatory and
uvrvous systems--Inducing more or less unnatural fre
iuency In the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
ebility, 4c.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone In the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
us King s College, London, wboae work on the •• Princi
ples aud Practice of Physic’ la a text book in many of
our medical colleges, aud consequently standard authority.
On p ifre 834. he saysWe hear continually, both in
and ont of the profeosion, different species offerer spo
ken of. My the public, Typhus fever, Drain fever,
UUions fever, Putrid fever, Low fever, Nervous fever,
4c. And systematic writers are to the full os particular:
Mucous fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Knlaric, aud
to forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various form*, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the
udud of all this eub-dlvision, i* had and hurtful. It
•ucouniges n disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a dlsouso according to it* name. There is no
Une of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can he relied An. They run insensibly Into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
t ruceuhle to the same cause.'’
The above Is a great fact, une worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yoa,sell shout a “ SKIw;” if you have
fever, treat It at once as hereafter directed, and you
Ml be well instead of any dintinetchamrtor being devel
oped, so as to b* properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion Is no hypothesis baaed on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience ut the bed
side of the sick, In hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
tuustanccs, seasons and climates. Msar this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dreod of linger
.lug and dangerous fevers. But a* ruses may have bo
urne developed before the “ fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly os possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules’’
and “BynopsU” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Pules important to bt observed in all coses in using the
Negative Flectric /''bud.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
‘id. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
t though there should always be free ventilation Ju the
sick room,) nor at tempt to go uhout while under Its in
fluence.
3d. It must he coutinned whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when It
begins to rise again, should such bo the caso under any
t Iraumstanoes.
•ttb. When the fever begin* to snbside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all •xcitement; should
uot bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
lill their men natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous Influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should auy conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all tutenta and purposes.
-■th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the putlent desires snd no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm a* parlies may prefer or patieuts desire.
rtth. Fbould patients experience any oppression or
faintness while In the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has 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 othor stimulant; or the face and
breast may ho bathed in cold water; either of which
will give Immediate relief.

“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Rsvvr, Ty phus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of ono character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grad*, the pulse
smsll and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—ut feast so far as
ray treatment is concerned. In these low fever*, when
ihlly developed, a little patience will bo required; still
comparatively little, aa they frequently rnn weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will be nocoseary at lengost to establish a permanent
convaloaoence.
The treatment should be commenced —which mav
ieomediataljr follow any other without detriment— with
a taaapcionfril of “ Fluid’’ every two home, till the pulse

bowels should be kepi gently open, and small perilous
of some hepatic should Is- given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. The patient
should bo sustained by nourishing end mucilaginous
drinks—such * tiro iu common use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surffma as di

tinni or Small Pox, Varioloid, !Uralcs,
and Scarlet Fever.
As ull of these diseases ur* attended with fever; which
in fact is the nioit prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue lift)* from that of common fevers. Keinomher
never wail to learn the “no me,” whether it is ono or the
other, or tint her, a* they all commence with ftrer. hut
treat it at once; govern the Hirer and there will lie un
trouble; there will ho but little eruption even in small
pox. 1 his, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will bo regarded with rldirtilo by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that, small pox, If trebled as
I direct, will be cut rliort; attended with lull little erup
tion ; little or no pitting, and that there is wo nececsitg of
It* running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, Imt ull that I hold most dear;
borides, on thie subject, 1 have good authority: that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“ You may übate the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, It Is believed, tho number of the pustules by
spline purgi, 4c.” Here is the admission tlist it may
be dune. I nave not only proven it mag hr, but bn,:
beta done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. hire. the account appended.
Ulvoa teas pi >on ful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of suits or castor oil; ropeat. tho
Fluid once In two hour* if necessary, until the fevor sub
sides-—though one or two doses is generally Sufficient;
but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat iv effected,
any of tho ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, ns thought advisable.
1 none case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus wore so much swollen that the putfcnt could
not swallow or .speak, and he wag cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow,
when It was given in toaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptom* disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment In about twelve hours l>y the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
beet f/arffle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and ularming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem
to be of little consequence. A single doso or two of a
teospoonlul, almost invuriably giving entire uud per
manent relief; no ularrn need be entertained, as the
Fluid w ill arrest It iu a short time. It should be re
peated ss long as the fever continues, ns in other cases.
The bowels of course should bo attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 eunuot refrain front
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them ntuelt punt and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of tho Fluid in
many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.—
I’alnful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is ono of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of tho ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tho whole system, removing all excitability
aud iritability of tho 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 : lienee its use in so many cases.
Hynoptls.
To avoid constant, repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much a* possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. Ae the Negative Electric. Fluid
will change tho condition call's! lever, nr subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name It may be or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yot it cannot bo ex
pected to control all organic or “local causes, which,
when such exiat, must bo removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in unv case, they should
be appropriate means, aud these sohuld be given vvliilo
giving tho “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, o* they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no uunoo'essary
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 (seo auxili
aries) with tho first doso, or soon after,’ and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wot in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold vrater, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and batho
tha fret in hot water; if the lever 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 and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the 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 aud stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the 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 hoe settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary ; iu short, treat, all the prominent symptoms
os you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“Fluid” at the sanio time as directed, aud success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
hsve seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease
with which you esu control ull febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
oetburticH, 4c., es physicians are usually particular
about whut is used. I have found ho such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully uuderstood bv
all. I will nami) a tew of the different articles of medi
cine T have referred to, viz:—
Cut ti art ten.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bow els, such as castor oil, salts, sennit, any of the roots
or bulks, and many pills, nntihilfous. Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act ou the liver
psrtlculariy, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended ou by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used iu couuectiou
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—auother, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—- the fourth, mandrake
root, and eo ou; each may take his choice and he suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Mono
set or thoroughwort is one of the beet used in fevers.
Astringents. -Such us check Iho action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
Nttuiulante.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) Is one of the best •
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, *r„ the essences are all more
or lees stimulating. Then* are tho only classes necessa
ry in treutlng fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “ dia
phoretic ,*’ “anodyne.” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
” sedative ’ than know u iu the materia medico.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list “of proofs
depending mainly on the results of u trial, and will’
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packetuhtp Duchess D'Orleans.
which cannot be classod among ordinary “ertittcatea:
We, the undondgued, certify to the” following, viz—
We took passage on tho packetship Duchess d'Orleuns
Capt Uutton. then lying In the port of Havre, France’
and bouud for Now York. She sailed on the Oth of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred son is on board, mostly
emigrants- A few day* after leavftig Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge. Dr. N. W. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire codtrol
over the disease, arresting it In a few hours, and curing
iu a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox,some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured wit It unit

From what w* saw during said postage, we are fully
convinced that tho medicine used bv Dr. Meat on the oc
ratlou. possesses iuestinmbl* virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affection* being controlled with
mnch ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,

fact speaks for itself.

which Is often to them the most valuable part of tho
year.
Since the introduction of the CUBE in every part of
the Unitod States, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as to have folly proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the Uute of its
iutrouucMon, they eeemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all the resources cf
science had been taxed in vain to subdue agno 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, Salipine, 4c.
The effects of these are sometimes worse tlmn the diseaso
they- subdtte, and when such remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, tlioir poisonous effects .ire snporsdded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should he particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Aguo 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
Holely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as it proof that the Itcmedy is not only valuable

also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Becauso of it s
Singular and Kntlx-e Harmlessncss,
Tho following certificate from ono of tho most celebrated
chemists in tho United States has been obtained, and a
ropy of it is attached to evety bottle:
New York, June 11. 1535.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidoto to Malaria, and lmvo tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found
auy substance in its composition (hat would prove inju
rious to tho constitution.
“JAMES U. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.”
It ii a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy ift
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by
preventing tho taking of other medicines which do harm.
Tho entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable ns a Cure, tlmn it is as a
preventive. *
No class of disease is so easily mamtgod ns the one
under consideration, if the medicine bo taken in advance.
This is owiug to the diseases being produced by ono an J
the same cause, and therefore till, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves hy tho timely use
i of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself iu a violent
attack. Take tho 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 l’liysician 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 uutibiHous purgative. The
very best thing lor general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to clounse the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that, where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it siusv be taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.—la certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of tho 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 tho
dregs of it, after tho liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tho apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious siti^itions.
Tho bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Auue Cure” blown in tho
glass, and on the outside wrapper is tho name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 20, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir —I cheerfully testily to
the valuo of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here lias been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and has uot had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a hotlle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,

Your Ague Cure has overcome nil prejudices hy 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 boltfo of the CUIE, which is being intro
duced us_ rapidly as possible into every town nnd village
in the United Plates, Canadas, 4c. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. It. Chilton, of New- York, certifies to its per
foet tnnoccuce. It is therefore optional with ull to hate
the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
J can alto any that a great, many of my largest custo
mers are those who a year ago wore reluctant oven to
take tho Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims tuulpre emdons could not.berealised. Now they
endorse them alt. nnd it will he noticed that the letters
ot 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 evor attended any othsr Ague Itemed v.
The Croxvninjg Glovy
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
sous, nuts mini woman or child iu the United tMntcs
would ever lmvo a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or tiny form of disease arising
thorn the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which Hie
Cure Is a perf'et antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shuttered or weakened hy
\gUO or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor nnd dt
