Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and fiicarln lll n; or Smell Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As ail of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the trestment differs hue little trom that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn tho “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, us tiiey all commence with fever, biff treat it at once; govern the fever and there will Ik* no trouble; there will be Out little, eruption even iu small js*x. This, to most minds, is u new idea, end doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, thut small pox, if treated ;is 1 direct, will he, cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or uo pitting, und that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, lint all that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that -of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874; “ You may abate the force of tho eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the. pustules hy spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it mug be., but has been done in numerous cases that occurred <*n hoard ship. Sue the account appended. (Jive a teaspoonful or more, according to tho 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 generally sufficient; hut It should bo given unit repeated sufficiently to keep tho fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one cose, on tho ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and Taurus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or s|*cak. ami lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till ■ill alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless tho best gurgle in all such cases. I'ucrpernl or Childbed Fever. Tills heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming multtdy to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid witii sucli readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. Tin* bowels of course should he attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain front making u 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 in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing und soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose und retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken ut a delicate time, is easily relieved by. Its use; in short, it is ono of the most convenient and ett'ectuol remedies for muuy of tho ills of females, if not tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility of tho nervous as well os the circulatory, It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will smith and quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tho condition called fever, or subdue and control it under nil circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control nil 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 bo appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection witii it, when occusion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary timo will then be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due tho fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho first dose, or soon after, uud should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended witii diarrhoea, give something known to tie good for that complaint, thougli if mused by irritability, tho “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition i if severe local paiu 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 in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at un agreeable temperature; “ tlie Nttliuo wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either wiil afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou ble; if tlie patient hus been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and 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 ami vomiting, that must be all ay ml before auy medicine will remain on ttio stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tho Stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose: when the stomach has 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 the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at tlie ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Forties 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 no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 w ill name a lew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz : Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the Isiwel*. such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.: anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, jsirtal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one limy choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice ami be suc cesstiil. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various burks. roots and bitter herbs. Boue soi or thorough wort is one of tlie best used in fevers. Astringents.—-Such as check the action of tho bowels, laudanum ami other preparations of opium are need; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tho system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of the best; giuger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences arc all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bettor “ dia phoretic, ’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “ sedative” than kuown in the materia metlica. 1 ahull not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will’ only refer to one iustanco of success, that on the Packetshlp Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to tho following, viz— We took passage on tho packetship Duchess d'Orleuns Capt Hutton, thou lying in tlie port of Havre, France, and bound tor New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on board. Mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all treated by the physician iu charge. Dr. N. W.‘ Seat, with anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec trie Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in 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 with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said ixissago, we are fullv convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Scat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of fobrile affections being controlled with •o much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure; on Antidote to Malaria; J 01l IHH PREVENTION AND C'UKK Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever: Dumb Ague, amt •slier Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of HilioUH Fevers, aocomjpankd by Typhoid Symp lons; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship and .(ail Fever, General Debility, Night Sweats, and all other forms of disease WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IS MiVlj/VUIA OR BSIASMA.. riHIKSE diseases are common to many localities of the A United Mates; but wherever they prevail, North, fcoutli, Fast or West, they all equally spring from the Hame uiiusmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to u remedy that is competent to overcome or remove tlmt cause. Hy the laws of Nature, every principle hits its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is u re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable mutter, or oven newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in tho atmosphere,causing disease toall who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing tho unerring affinity subsisting between op jswltes, there i- in the prop*ration before us, offered to tlie public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies tlie system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores anil preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any hut tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims the follow ing extraordinary results from its use: it will iuHtuutly check tho ague in persons who have suffered tor any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will bo effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. Iu its operation upon the poison in tho system, it will immeilHitely relieve all tho distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tho disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow tho administration of other mede oini'N. The patient at once begins to reevor appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and nil laboring people njay be using this arti cle as a. Preventive, Ami pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season, w hich is often to them tho most valuable part of file year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of the 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, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because nil the 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 Arseuic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, 4c. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous efforts are superadded to the poor sufferer's first complaint. On tiiis account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may he taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, us 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 Harinlessness, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists jn the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle : New York, Juno 11, 1855. “I lmve made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine anil Strychnine, but havo not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES K. CIIILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, thut this Remedy is destined uot only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work hy preventing the taking of other medicines which do ham. 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 tlie medicine be taken in advanco. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison uli'eady 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 in a Bilious climate noxv accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate doso of Castor Oil, tho 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 be taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, j*our the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into •hallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, tho miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise tic resorted to when very youug infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) anil the signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced ami ußcd. These will be considered sufficient.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. 1 was first attacked by chills and lever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment 1 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.

This proves the medi cine to be good, and wo take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd. Fellow, Boontsboro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully tastily to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in tho 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 lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A.

Respectfully yours. W.G.SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague (Jure has ovorcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfactiou. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only ono bottle, aud de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tho CURE, which is being intro duced as 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 ull to havo the Fever and Aguoornot, just as they please. I cau also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take tho 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 lettera of which I publish au p h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, aud prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than over attended any other Ague Remedy. The CrojvnlngGlory 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 Fover and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atluospherio 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 ull whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor anil de bility or tiny kind of intemperance or dissipation.
