To show tliat 1 am not wholly alone in tint opinion i advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T.

It w ill not force sleep like opiutss, but it will south and quiet tlie system so that one can sleep natufallv and healthy: hence ils use iu so many cases. , Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment us much as possible, 1 give under!bis head general directions for nil cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will rliungo the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name, it may boor ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet il cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, w lien such exist, must lie removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any ease, they should be appropriate means, and these solnild be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, ns they will then more readily act, producing more gonoral effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the •, Fluid” alone will suli thie the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon alter, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended w ith diarrhoea, give something known to ho good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a Mister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or. perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ire water, if convenient, or sumo cooling application, and bathe tlie feet in hot water; if Hie fever is very high; skin dry and hot, with great suffering, spongo 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 be no trou ble: if tlie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted. give tonics uiul stimulants, particularly in 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 dually goftd; lor this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will iiuewer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat nil the prominent symptoms as yon would under any other circumstances, giving tlie 1 •* Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success - will crown your effort^; indeed, yon cannot realize it till you have set'll, mid then you will be astonished at tlie esse with which you can control all febrile excitement.

The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly ebiittm the 1< .flowing extraordinary results from its use: it will instantly ciieek the ague in persons who have suffered for 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; tlie patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. 111 its operation upon the poison ill the system, it will immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General DebiUty anl Night Sweats, which -o often follow the administration of other mode tines. The patient at once begins to Varver appetite and strength, and continussto improve until restored to perfect health. l!y its use Fever and Ague may lie banished from every family and class in the community; farmer*, me chanics, nml all laboring people may be using tills arti cle os a Preventive, Ami pursue tlleir respective avocations in 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 ol the United Ftates, its success lias lieen so complete mul unvarying us to havo fully proved lliese assertions In favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at Ihe date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because ail tlie resources cf science bad lieen 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 bfeeh limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The, effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedios fail’ or give ofijy temporary relief, tlleir poisonous effects are stiporndded to tlie pour sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may bo taken witli perfect- safety, even when it is notoriously well known tliat their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also IVortliy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlcssness, The following certificate from one of tlio most celebrated chemists pi tlio United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: Mew York, June 11, 1555. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to .Malaria, and liave tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of cither in it, nor have I found any substance iu its composition tliat would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES U. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It i a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. 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 tlie oue under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and tlie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by 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 the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tlie 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 now accompany each bottle. It will often bo found necessary to precede this meili ciuebya mild cathartic or nutibillous purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlio stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or tliere is costiveness, ft must be taker or tlie operation of tho antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution,—ln certtiin 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, utter the liquid is evaporated, trill counteract aud destroy, to a degieo commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained hi the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, -RnoDts’ Fever a.mi Ague Cure” blown in tho glass, aud on the outside wrapper is tlie name of tlio medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to provefit counterfeits and imitations. The RELIANCE FOR ITS SttCCRSS IS ENTIRELY UPON ITS Actual MERITS, wherever introduced and used.

The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. U. Chilton, ol’ 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 the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not bo realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will Ia( noticed that tho letters ot which I publish sn -h immense quantities ala* always new and lute dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove thefaotofa greater suc cess and mile llum over attended any other Ague Remedy. The Urim ningGlory * of tlio Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottlo or two during tho warm and sickly sea pou. not a man woman or child in the United States would over have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, nr any form of disease arising front tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also 1111 “quailed for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, niglit sweats, l ut ]guor and de bility or any- kind of intemperance or dissipation.
