By the term “ levers,” I cnmpreUcnd all febrile affections to -yhirh the human frame is subject, including small pox andothr eruptive fevers; hut ns they arise by a great variety if causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a vurlety of forms or types; yet all arrilislJngiliHhial by tile same general rliornctcr hitic* —that oi undue excitement ill tliu circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or less mi natural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion l advance, I quote from the celebrated I’rof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, whose work on Hie *• Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of unr medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. •jn page H 34, hoHsys:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different spocies of fever spo ken of.

Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effort upon the mind of all Ibis sub-division, is bad and hurtful, it . ncourages a disposition, already too prevalent, lo pre scribe for a disease nr curding to II name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, (bat can he relied on. They rnn insensibly into each ither, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.’’ The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress ou your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you.self about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you ttrill be welt instead of auy distinetcharacter being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or \ isions of mind, hut on experience at the bed lide of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of eases (by myself and others) under a great variety id’ cir cumstances, seasons mid climates.

But as cases may have he roine developed before the “ fluid” is given, either l>y neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to lie pursued in ill of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for alt those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

When the fever begins to subside, patients must he left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not be questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their man natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induct them to rise or speak; nor should auy conversation ho allowed in their hearing, iu which they may feel more or hiss interested, Imt be left quihi to all intents and purposes.

Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while In the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the lever has passed oil', or enough to oecaalon them to speak -if it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little iplrit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment ns much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions lor nil cases. As the .Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, nr subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may he or ought to lie called, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must lie i.inioved in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should tie appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while giving tho “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily art, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then ho lost. As the -, Fluid” alone w ill sub duo tho fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. if tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) witli the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in duo time, repeat, the dose; if attended with diunrho-u, give something known to lie good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe 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 the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlie feet iu lint water; if tlie lover 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 ami aid the uieili cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou ble ;if tlie patient Inis been reduced,or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low fevers, iu aiiseueo of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, wlieu the patient lias become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed I s'fore any medicine will remain on tho stomach to do nuy good; for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when Die stomach has settled, give the •• Fluid” mid a cathartic if uecessary; iu short, treat all the prominent symptoms ns you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at the same time nsdirocted, and success will crown your efforts; indeed,you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished ut the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may foci at a loss to know wlmt is meant hy cathartics, At., us physicians urn usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to bo fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz;— Cal Itnrttcx. —Articles that purge nr operate on tlie bowels, such as castor otl, salts, senna, afty of the roots or barks, and many pills, nntibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. llrpntlcs.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tho articles depended on by the difforent schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. Ami one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and lie suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone- Set or tliorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers. Antrlngcut h.—Such as check the action of tho bow els. laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have tho effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tin- best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are oil more or less stimulating. These ;uv the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Eleetrie Fluid is a better “ dia phoretic,” “anodyne,’ IturetiC.” “relaxant” and “ sedative” than known in tho materia medico. 1 shall not tax tho reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to ime instance of success, that on the Packet ship Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot tie classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz.

Thu remedy is believed to lie entirely new, and un known to any but, the proprietor, who distinctly claims t he follow ing extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly check the ngtio in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie elfertcd; tho patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless sulweijuent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of (acncrnl Dcbility mid Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede cities. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and etnas iu tho community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, Am) pursue their respective avocations iu 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 the CURE iu every part of Dm United States, its success lms 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 mayvy, even of tlie most candid mihds, becduse ail Die resources cl’ science had 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, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saliciue, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than, tbe disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire Buperadded to Die poor sufferer’s first complaint. (Jn this account ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they limy bo taken with perfect safety, even when it is .notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Notv, as a proof that tlie Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public t onfulenee, Because of its Singular mul Entire lliii iiilcssiti ss, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States Ims been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. -I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it fur Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but hate not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tho constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D„ Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tho human family from malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes tins 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 bo taken in advance. This is owing to tho diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tho timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to ilevejop itself iu 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 fifo prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or nntibilious purgative. Tho very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tho stomach and free tho biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or thero is eostivcncss, it mist ue taken er the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only C nut ion*- In certain specified eases, pour tin- contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place thorn in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tho medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after tho liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degtee commensurate with its expo sure, tho miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise he rc-ortod to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. Tho bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Auue Cere” blown in the glass, and on tho outside wrapper is Die name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tho signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

One reason it has sold, is because when I have heard ol’u ease of Ague or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and ti Id Diem to try it, and if it did not help them, they wore not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had one ease of Chill Fever where it run four days, but tho man canto to hoc me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 2i Hot ties Perforin 24 Cures.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it Ims been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several months since, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until 1 commenced tho use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a siugle chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing y inr medicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, ftept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. Ono young lady in the family of a clergyman hero has beeu taking au “ AGUE BALAAM” for some months without any per manent benefit —a few days since she got a bottle of tbe Cure and lms 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 works like a charm. Yours trulv, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from n Physician. Monti cello, I ml., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been iu thu practice of Mediciuo lu re 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 stirrer*.

A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only ono bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I rail in its sale. ’ ‘iv. A.HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CUKE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the I uitcil states, Canadas, 4c. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. I!.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per iod 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 arc those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not ho realised. Now tbey endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which 1 publish su li immense, quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The ( roniitngGlorj of tlie 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 h ive a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising Item tlie atmospheric 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 all whose constitutions have been shuttered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweat*, languor and de bility or any ;ind ot iuteiuperahc© or dissipation.
