It is to guard against disappointment in enen canes that I have given mid frequently refer to what I have called a “symqsiis.” Ike murks ou Fever* In General* On this subject I wish lo he fully understood. Hy the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but us they arise hy a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; ret nil areylistinguisheil by the same general character istics—that o. undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of file skin, debility, &c. To show that I am not wholly alone iu the opinion I dvauee, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, ~f King’s College, London, whose work on tlio “ Princi pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book iu ninny of our medical colleges, mid consequently standardauthority. On pige 834, lienayg: -“Wo hear continually, both in and mil of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Hy tlio public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever, unions Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, etc. And systematic writers nro to the full us particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oustro-Enterie, ami o forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages u disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each ot her, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great filet, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress ou your minds the folly of burning up or troubling you sell about a “ name;” if you have lever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you mill he. we.lt ustead of any distinetcharaoter being devel oped, so as to he properly named hy tile most scientific. This assertion Uno hypothesis tawed on closet specula tions er visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed side of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates, ltuar this in mind, and treat ut. ouco without regard to name, and rest assn rod you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. Hut us cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either hy neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in ill of Hie most prominent fevers, though tlio “ Hub s” and “ Synopsis’’ will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

It should be given iu three er lour times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 3d.

It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off'; to he resumed when it begins to rise again, shouldsuch bo the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must lie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt, to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quic to all intents and purposes. 6tli. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it ns plentifully, and as long us the patient desires und no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous lemonade, any simple decoctions, er tens, either . old or warm ns parties tuny prefer or patients desire. dth. Should patients experience any oppression or lainluess w bile in tlie lying jHisture, 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 pirlt. ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and tu-CHst may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relict.

Old persons do not require as much ns young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as mules. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently liuving taken lull doses; but for a little guide, I have given tlio above tuble. w ith tile remark that, as a general rule, hildron require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will tie found agreeable 111 all ol its effects, the expectations el the must sanguine realized, and many perfectly .Ktouishcd.

A;, all of thco diieamt* are attended with fever, Which in fact i’ Ilia most prominent symptom, tlio treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Itomembcr never wait to learn tlio “mono,” w hether it is one or tho other, or neither, us they all Commence with Ji vn-, hut treat it at once; govern the lever und there will ln‘ no tremble; there will be hut little eruption even in small pox. This, to most min.ls, is anew idea, and doubtless wijl ho regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make life assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will be eld, short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there in no nens.nlg of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my t.qmtatton, lint a I Hint 1 hold most dear: besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. W atson previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “Veil may abate tlio force of tho eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number oj llie pustules by spline purges, Ac.” I sere is the admission tnnt it'may lie done, i nave not only proven it maybe, but has been done in numerous eases that occurred on hoard ship. Hee the account appended. (Jive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat Die Fluid unco in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides —though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep the liver under control. When tlie throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may la- used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, oil the ship Duchess d'Drleans. tlie tongue and faucu* wore so much swollen that tlie patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tlie Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlio throat was reduced so as to enable him lo take nour ishment in alum twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to Wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle, in all such cases. Puerperal or Cliildfbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tlio mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as lo seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teasiKionful. almost invariably giving entire und per manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, ns the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should lie re peated as long as tlie fvcr continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should he attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from limiting n 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 tlie 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.— Painful menstruation will be relieved ut unco by a com mon dose and retiring. Kcstlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold token at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient anil effectual remedies for many of tlie ills of females, if not tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability nnd lritability of tho nervous as well as tlie circulatory: It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet tlio system so that one can sleep naturally anil healthy: hence its use iu so many eases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tin; treat ment ns much as ixissihle, 1 give under this head general directions for all eases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tho condition called lever, or subduo and control it under all circumstances, without regard to Die name it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must lie removed in order to effect a permanent cure. Whon such indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate means, and these soluikl bo given while giving tho “ Fluid,” and in connection witii it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary lime will then be lost As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due tlie fever. I cull all else auxiliary treatment. If tlie bowels nro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie tirst dose, or soon after, amt should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose: if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relievo 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 tho part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe Dm feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry nud hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe Die whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar ainl 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 and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated: also, during convalescence, when the patient lias become re duced ; if there is nausea ami vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tho 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 the stomach lias settled, give tlio “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; iu short, trout all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “Fluid” at the sumo time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed,you eanuot realize it till you have seen, and thou you will lie astonished at tlie ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., us physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using tlie Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, I will name a lew of tho different articles of medi cine 1 hnvo referred to, viz:— Cathartics.—Articles that.purge or operate on the bowel*. Kill'll ns castor oil, salts, setuiu, any of tho roots or barks, and many pills, nntibilions, Ac.: anything known to be good for such purposes. Hr pat lcg —Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation nud secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection witii the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in tllienee. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take Ids choice and he suc cessful. Tonies.—Articles that give tone or strength, such us quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone soi or thoroughwort is oue of the best used in fevers Astringents.—Such as check tlie action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; ulsp, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulantn.—Article* that raise or excite tlio system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of the best; giuger. spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences tire all mort j or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are genetallv uscl. but the Negative Fleet lie Fluid is a bet'er •• dia phoretic,'’ - anodyne, “diuretic. ‘’ •• relaxant “ and “sedative” than known in tlio materia medico. i shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly ou Die results of a trial, and will only refer to oue instance of success, that on the Packet ship Duclicss lJ'Orlcaus. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates ■ M'e. tlie undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz— We took passage on tlie pneketship Duchess d'Orleitns Oupt Hutton, tlien lying in the port of Havre, France’ ami bound tor New York.

AH Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, stagnant water, decompo sition of uuimui aud vegetable matter, or Oven newly cleared lauds, is the sanui ill character and effect; is a poi son floating in tho atmoiqdiere, causing disease to all w ho breullio il. in accordance witii those iiiitilieral.de laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op positos. there is in the preparation before us f offered to Die public, Tlie Natural Antidote lo Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it conns in cop tact w ith it, oven in the open air. and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by ir of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. ‘file remedy is believed to be entirely new, aud uu known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly check the ague in persons who have snivel ed for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use. according to the direc tions, a radical euro will be effected: the patient contin uing free from the complaint lor ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should mak” its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison in tho system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and wlien the liisease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General llelvillly nnd Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other niede cines. The patient at once begins to roever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. Hy its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and class in tho community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using tins arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to thorn the most valuable part of (lie year. Since the introduction of tho CL'RK iu 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 ut Dio date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of Die most candid minds, because all .lie resources of 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 dings, such ns Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salieine. &<:. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are snperaddeil to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlio makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known Dint their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable ou account of its power to cure diseases, but’ that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular ainl Entire Ilnrmlessness, Tlio lollowing certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle : New Yoiik, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested it fur Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlio constitution. “JAMES K. CHILTON, M. 1).. Chemist.” It is a stubborn fitet, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relievo the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good w'ork by preventing Die taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Komouy not more valuable ns a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as tho one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tlie 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 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 medi ciue by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate doso jof Castor Oil, tlie object of which is to cleanse tlio stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or (hero is oostiveness. it must re taken or the operation of tlio antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified eases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of Die Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising ffom the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after tlie liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud estroy, to a deg.co commensurate with its expo sure, tho miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown iu the glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual MERITS, wlierevcr introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by the propriolor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. I. For sale in Columbus bv KfVLIN. THOMAS & CO.. February 10, 1860, ly Druggists.
