By Ihe term “ fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affectiou* to which tho human frame is subject, including aninll pox .uidOther eruptive levers; but au they arise by e great variety of causes, and In qtilto dtaaimilur renal It utionH -.ml habita, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forma nr types; yet all are distinguished by the name general character istic*-- that ol undue excitement in tho circulatory and oorvous systems—lnducing more or leas unnatural fre quency In the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the akin, debility, Ate. To show that I um not wholly alone iu the opinion I advance, I quote I tom the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, ol King’s Collette, laindon, wlirmo work on ttie ” Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, andconsequently standardauthurity. <Jn page 854, hesays:—“Wo luvir continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of lever spo ken of.

Vcrvotia Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever, As these levers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pnlse small and wiry, with n general great depression, there is no practical usu in separating them—at least so tar as iuv treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will he required; still comparatively little, ss they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this hut a tew days will be necessary at lougest to establish a permanent convalescence.

He says, page b 74: “ Vou may abate tlie force of the crupti\e lever, and keep down, If Is believed, tie number of the jaistatrs by spline purges, Ac.” Here fc tho admission Hint It, may be done. I pave not only proven it ins;//*, but hut been dune in nmnerous casus that occurred mi board ship. Bee the account appended. (live a teaspoonful or mot l ', according to the urgency oi’ the case, with a dose of gilts or castor oil; rapritt tho Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until thefeversnh idiler—though otto or two ‘loses is generally sufficient; but it should lie given and epciited sufficiently to keep the fever under control. Vilen the tlinsit is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, ns thought advisable. In one cam*, on the ship ktichessd’Orlcnns. the tongue und fattens were no much svollei! that the patient i-ould not swallow or Hpi-iik . anil )e was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop ly drop, till lie could swallow, when it wss given in teusuoonful doses irery hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat Was reduced so nt to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Usahl to wet the throat frequently, it is ilonbth'ss tho best ’ i/aritle, in all such casi'S, Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous aud alarming malady to w hich tlio mother is liable, will yiohl to the Negative Kleetric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire aud per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should be re poated an long as the lover continues, ns iu other eases. The bowels ol course should be attended to. in connection with this subject, J 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. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives file labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved ut once by a com mon dose and retiring. Kestlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at. a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of tho most convenient and pffectmu remcAlios for many of tho ills of females, if not tile most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility of tho nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, l>ut it will sooth and quiet the system no that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, aud condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general direct ions for all clues. As thu Negative Kleetric Fluid will change the condition called fever, otr subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name if may be or ought to he called, it should Is; given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control all organic Or local causes, which, when such exist, must be romovcil in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any ease, they should ibe appropriate means, and theie sobuld bo given while giving the “Fluid,” ami 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 tho fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon utter, and should it fail to ojicrate in due time, repeat the dose: if attended with diarrhu a. give something known to be good for thl complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, n mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of Utter herbs, , or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if violent pniu in the 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, H kiu dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; ,“tln< saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford groat relief and aid the medi cine in taking ctfivt. after which there will lie no trou ble : if the psth-iK has been reduced or is lunch prostra ted, give lonics ami stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in übscuco of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tho patient tins become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie allay ed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good: for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; In short, treat all the prominent symptoms as y on would under any other circumstances, giving the !“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, aud success will crown yunr efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till vou have seen, and then yon will be astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement.

In its operation u]am the poison in the system, it will unmodiatoly relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the diivease is curisl, it w ill entirely prevent the iicecssion of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other medo cities. Tlio patient at ouce begins to reever appetite and strength, and I'ontinnoßto improve until restored to perfect health.

Sim othe introduction of the CUBE in every part of the United .States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. M ill'll these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed iuiTedlbla to many, even of tho most cnndiit minds, because all the resources of science liiul been taxed iu vain te 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, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than thi’ ilisease they subdue, and when sueh remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects jre miporftdded to tho poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert they limy bo taken witli perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that then’ potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that tlie Jtemedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, lint that it is also YVort.liy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Ilarmlcssncss, Tho following certificate from ono of t lieu lost celebrated chemists in the United Stiitos has beeu obtained, and a copy of it is attaoheil to every bottle: NV.W York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, nml have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, uor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. 1)., Chemist.” It is a stubborn find, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relfi>ve tlie liutnau family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good w eak by preventing the taking of other medicines which doliurm. Tins 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 mauageil us Hie one under confide ration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being prisiueed by one an l the samo cause, and therefore all, both residents aud travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking iu tliuir veins, to develop itself in a violcut attack. Take tlie Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poisou before it ikies harm. Full dlrcctlous and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a 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 usi’ is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously aJi structed. Only Caution. —ln certain specified eases, pour tlie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) anil place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after tho liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tlio apartment. This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise bo resorted to when very young 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) and tlie signature of tlio proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance ror. its success is entirely croN its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient. Propon'd and sold by the proprietor, .1 AMES A. KHUDECt. Providence, 11. I, F’or sale in Columbus bv KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1850. ly Druggists.
