Jthi Kconom)’ of Thought.—A* when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present listing, respecting febrile affection*; particularly while a dear friend is alclt. JtU.- Kronomy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and coasoqaontly racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. 11l ll.—Kronomy of l.lfe.—As the cure isuffected iiefore and without reducing tlio jiutieut, consequently i emoving, in n corresponding degree, nil danger of a fatal ruruiluatjon. Otuer reasons might lie added, but these tiro deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasonß lire mole particularly applicable to ihe immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to canes which have beoli subject ed to or have become reduced, coriospunding of course *i, the nature of the case at tho time it. iu first adminis i ereil. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary casus. when used soon lifter the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y won not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling -a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of •niisequence —it would have passed oil’ w ith out any thing—that medicine bail no effect The general impression on the subject of fever is aucli, that thoughts not unlike the übovc follow the cure of a common case as naturally ns men think at all; and it is not until the individual hai* witnessed many coses flint he can fully realize the truth; and even then ho may conclude them all very t itllng cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have lieeu thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must < Xpert that them wil eases occur Win re there is some organic or .oral cause so great ns to require particular attention, or though huccchs id in reducing the fever, it will again rise us the lulluence of the “Fluid” passes off', as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment lu sum enses that I lime given and frequently refer to what I have cnllisl n “synopsis.” Hr murk* on F|vtrs lu General* On this subject 1 wish to lie fully understood. By the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affection* to which the human frame is subject, Including small pox and Other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions nud iiubf.H, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istic*—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 the skin, debility, Ac. To snow that I am not w holly alone in the opinion 1 advance, I quote fl’ein tho celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of KiDg’s College, liondon, whoso work on the “ Prinei pleg and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard'authority. On p .go 8.'14, he say* :— “We hear continually, lMit.li in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the puhde, Typhus Fever, lhaln Fever, Itilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Bow Fuver, Nervous Fever, ,4c. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Gnstro-Enteric, and so 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 a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to Hh name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of thorn, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and l would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you self about a “ name;” if you have favor, treat it at onee as hereafter directed, and you <oill be melt, .ustcad of any distinotuharaeter being devel oped, so as to bo properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, lint, on experience at tho bed side of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and other*) under a great variety of cir cumstances, season* and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name., anil rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the ‘• Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under somo other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as iiossible the proper course to lie pursued in all of tho most prominent fevers, though the •■ Rules” aud “ Synopsis” will Ihi amply Bnfhcient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tlie sick.

There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children —those often years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the ibovo table, with the remark that, as a general rule, hiliiren require more than adult* in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will tic found agreeable in til) of its effects, the expectations Os tlie most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus purticulnr is, tliat the full benefit of tlie medicine may lie obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity ol’ such strict ob servances. UUloum or Remittent Fever. Give a teasponful of “ Fluid” (gee rule Ist) once in two hours, till tlie fever is evidently passing off'; this constitutes tlie whole treatment tn all simple cases of fever, with such observance* as are set forth in the •■Rules.” But should there be prominent local ayßip toms, or known local existing causes, they should In attended to at once, anil while giving tlie “Fluid.” See Synopsis. lfin any case the 1 wel* are particularly constipated or conflnwl, gi\. uhartic (see auxiliaries) with the tlrst portion they m ist he opened or the fever may rise .igsiu.

Congestive Fever. Giio two teaep ionshil and repeat every two hours till the pulse tiecomes more full and soft, then ouly n tea spoouful, to be discontinued as the lever subside*. As the bowel* are generally confined, and It is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no time should bo lost to get them open, give some active cathartic w ith the *• Fluid” nnil repeat as may be neces sary till it operates; enemas (Injections) muy also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) wtth the band* or flannel; also, cold application* to the bend.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, tho pulse -mall and w iry, with a general great depression, there is no practical nse in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, when tully developed, a little patience will be required; still comparatively little, a* they frequently run weoks under the common treatment, while with this but a few davs will b necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. Th* treatment should bo commend’d —which tuny immediately follow any other without detriment— with n teaspoon fill of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse Itscom** roller or laigcr in volumo, then to lie continued nco tn sit or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In bad cosos. from three to live grains each of quinine and capsicum (Cayenne poppurj or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The bowels should he kept gently open, and small portions of some lupalic should bo given occasionally, often though tbi‘ bowels should be very loose.

The iioneset tea should Ito given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of tho kind, to he applied over the seat of iiu; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Vn rioloid, Itut>elu und Scarla tina.; or.small Pun, Varluloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As nil of these diseases are attended with lever, which ill fart is tlie nurnt prominent symptom, the treatment differs lute little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait folourii the “name,” whether it is one or tho other, or neither, ns they all commence t vith feotr, hut treat it l once; govern the lever and there will he no trouble; there will be t/ift little eruption even in small pox. Thin, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will he regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless IwildJy make the assertion, that small pox. if treated its I direct, will he cut sin’ll; attended with hilt little erup tion! little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. (In this I will stake not only my reputation, but a.l that I hold most door; besides, on this subject. I have good authority; that of Prof, Wat-on, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: “Von may abate the force of the eruptive fever, anil keep down, it ix believed, the number oj the pustules by spline purges. Ac.” Here is the admission that it muy he dono. I nave not only proven it muy he, but has been dono in numerous eases that occurred on board ship, S e the account appended. Give a teiuqioonful or more, according to the urgency of tie- ease, with it dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once iu two hours it necessary, until the lever sub sides—though one or two dose.-, is genera ly sufficient; but it Should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. M hen the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may he used, arid the surface Outlied, as thought advisable. In one case, on tho ship Duchessi turban*. the tongue and iituctiH were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by dhop, till lie could swallow, when it was given in teuApootiful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Thu swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie bcstef/argU in uli mich eases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to widen tho mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he 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 tho saver continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remark*, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain anil suffering. It is to inform them of tho happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.— Fain fill menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring, Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora eiMd taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known, its effect is uniform, relaxing Ihe whole system, removing all excitability and irftability of the nervous as well as the Circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth an J quiet the 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 tlie Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho name it may be or ought to be called, it should ho given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all 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 soliuid he given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then bo lost. As the •, Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. if the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie lirst dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate iu due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that eomplaiut, though if caused by irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relieve tliat condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tho 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, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature; “tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief amt aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will lie no trou ble ; if tlie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted. give tonic* and stimulants, particolnrly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated: also, during convalescence, when the patient lias become re duel*l; if thorn is nausea and vomiting, that must be illayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do any go,111; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water.it given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the itomuch has settled, give tlie “ Fluid” aud a cathartic it necessary; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the •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 the ease with w hich you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particutei about what is used, i have found no sueli necessity when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by all, I w ill name a lew of the different articles of modi cine 1 have referred to, viz.:— Cat Hurtles.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. 11 rput ir je—Anything know 11 to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools tor this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu ttnonce. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tho third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and lie suc cessful. Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various borks. roots and hitter herbs. Hone set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.—Buoh as check the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tho sy stem. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry In treating fevers, tlnmgli many other* ore genetallv used, lint the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic, 1 ’ “anodyne,” ••diuretic.” “relaxant” and •• sedative than known in tho materia medico. 1 shall not tax tho reader w itli a long list of proofs depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to ouo iustanco of success, that on the Packctshtp Duchess D’Orlcnns. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates; We, the undersigned, certify to the'following, viz.— \Ve took passage oti tho packetwldp Duchess d'Orlcun* Oapt lluttou, then lying iu the port of Havre.

OIL MldV-SMA. fl Ml i> I, diseases are common to many localities of tho J. United .states; but wherever they prevail, North, South, Hast or Went, they all equally spring from the some luiasmul cause. The great variety of symptoms und forms of di-ease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution aud habit* of the sufferers; but as the cause is tie- same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent. or in other words u specific remedy. All Malaria, w hether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal ami vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe ij. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op jMjsitcs, there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, * Tire Natural Antidote to Malaria, which iisutializ.es the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it. even ill tlie open air, anil when taken inter nally completely purities tlie system affected by it of it* baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. s Tlie remedy is believed to bo entirely now, aud un know ii to any Imt the proprietor, who distinctly claim* tlie following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly check 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 be effected; tlie patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever: unless subsequent exposure to malaria should mak“ its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil fotls or agifo diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow tho administration of other mode elms. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to {terfeot health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people nmy lie using this arti cle as a Prevent i ve, And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since tlie introduction of tin- CURE in every part of tlie United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to linve fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. \\ lien these declarations were made, at tile date of its introduce on, they seemed Incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all tho resources of science had been taxed ill 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 ns Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, anil when such remedies fail, or give ouly temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire shperadded to the poor sufferer’s lirst complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tho makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that 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 Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, Thu i olio wing certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is .attached to evciy 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 for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have Ifound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES It. CHI ETON, M. I)., 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 entiro absenco 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 the medicine he 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 tills preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tho 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 iu a Bilious climate uow accompany each bottle. It will often be found neecssary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to c,cans tho stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where ibis is necessary, or there is cofitiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will l>e seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour tho contents of one or more bottles of the Cure iuto shallow vessels, (diuing plates, and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tho air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it. after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and estroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its exp - sure, tho miasmata or poison contained in the apartment, rids mode of exhibiting the Curo 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, “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) nml the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely urox its actual MERITS, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. R hodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of y our Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman hero has been taking an “AUL’E BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got abottle of your Cure. So tar it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.

If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every 1 ttle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rti] dly as possible iu o every town and village in the Unit* I States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocene.-. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever mi l Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are tin e who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cu eon commission. They thought its great claims and pi tensions could not he realised. Now they endorse then all, and it will he noticed that the letters of which I publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fillany new -paper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. ‘l'lie Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its ire ■ use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tlio warm and sickly sea sons, not an an woman or child in the United States would over lave a single attack of Fever aud Ague, Bilious or 1 1 How Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also u lequalled for quick aud permanent effects ns a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shuttered or weakened by Ague or Bill us diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or an; kind of intemperance or dissipation. .TAME 1 A.
