Otner reasons might be added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all ( lasses and persons in all condi tion* of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of comae to tbo nature of the case at the timo it is first adminis fared. As this remedy give* Ho prompt, <‘ffictiwl and perina nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after the attack, persons ran scarcely realize Unit they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y wen not attacked with fever, and if so, “It was trilling -a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed oft w ith out anything—that medicine hod no effect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is aurli, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at nil; and it is not until the in iividual has witnessed many caeesthnt he ran fully realize the truth; nnd even then he may conclude them all very t filing cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cnees, must expect that there wil cases occur wh re there is some organic or oral cause no greut us to require particular utlentlon or though sucres* ul in reducing the fever, It will again rise as the Influence of the “Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may atill exist, it is to guard igatnst disappointment in suen esses tiiat 1 have given and frequently refer to what 1 have nailed a “synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers In Ueneral* On this subject I wish to be fully understood, lty tho term “fevers,” I comprehend nil febrile atfections to which the human frame t s subject, including small (iox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by u great variety of causea, nnd In quite dissimilar constitutions and habi.s, they of course differ considerably in their development nod exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by tho Hiune general charactor ittlca—that o undue excitement in thu circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in tin- opinion I advance, I quote from the eelebrafed Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, whose work on the “ l’rinci pies and Practice of I’hysic” la a text book in muny of our medical colleges, and consequently standard autho city. On p ge 834, he saysWe hear Continually, both lu and out of th* profession, different species ol fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows Itself under various forms, I am persuaded tiiat the effect upon the uiiud of all this sub-division. Is bad nnd hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for disease according to its name. There is no tin • of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that run be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, nnd are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is u great fact, one Worthy of remembrance and I would impress on yonr minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you sell’ about n “ name;'’ if you have fever, treat It at once as hereafter directed, and you .o Ul be well nsteod of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most, scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet, specula tlous or visions of ndud, but on experionco at the bed side of the sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of elr umstances, seasons nnd climates. Hear this in mind and treat nt once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dreiul of linger ing and dangorous fevers. But hh coses may have be come developed before tbo ‘* Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe is briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in oil of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules’ *ud •• Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Hides important to be observed in all rases in a silly the. jSeyotive Electric Fluid. Ist.

There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of ape frequently having taken full doses; but for n little guide. 1 have given tin above table, w ith tho remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will bo found agreeable lu all of its effects, the expectation of the most sanguine realized, and uiauy perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is. that the full beuefit of the medicine may bo obtained, anti not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servancee. Bilious or Hrutlttrnt Ktvrr.

Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, aud the patient is not particularly susoeptibl. to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on bv medicine generally—a doable dose, or two teaspoonsbll may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been sqrtewd thus shewing the medicine has taken effect.

Variola, Varlolnlsl, ltuheolii and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and ricarlct, Fever. As all of these disunites are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, tho treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the •• name,'’ whether it is one or the other, or euilhcr, as they nil commence wilhfrjti.r, but treat it ut once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will be lad liltle. eruption oven in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, vttll be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, anil that there is no necessity of Us running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, but u.l that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Fros. M atson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “Von may übute tho force of the eruptive Icier, aud keep down, it is believed, the number <f the. pustules by spline purges, &c.” Here is the admission tiiat it may be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous eases tlmt occurred on board ship. Boe tho account appended. (live a teaspoonful or more, according to tho urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repent the Fluid once in two hours If necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses Is genera ly sufficient; but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep tho fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. in one case, on thu ship Duchess (('Orleans, tho tongue and founts wore so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping the Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, wlieu It was given in teiispoonlul (loses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable liim to take nour ishment in uliout twelve hours by tho Fluid aluuc.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous aud alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should lie re peated as long as the fever continues, ns in other cases. Tho bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few gonoral remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is lu inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its reluxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to lie appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or a cold token at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is ono of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritnbility of the nervous as well ns the circulatory, it will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth nnd quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally nnrl healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, aud condense the treat ment us much ns possible, I give under this homl general directions for all eases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, wit hout regard to the name. it. may be or ought to he called, it should ho givon wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when Shell 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 sohuld 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 he lost. As tho ‘,Fluid” alone will sufo duo the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local puiu or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, porliaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe tho feet in hot water; if the fever 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 aud water, cither will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics ami stimulants, particularly in low levers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, luring convalescence, when the patient has become re duced : if there is nausea and vomiting, tiiat must he dlayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose: when the stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic il necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms •is you would under any other eireumstances, giving the •Fluid” at the same time ns directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed,you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will bo astonished at the ease with which yon can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may fool at a loss to know what is meant by satliartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about w hat is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by dl, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine l liar* referred to, viz:— t'at Ixnrt lea.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots ir barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.: anything known to lie good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer w hen used in connection with tho “Fluid” or while tho system is under its iu ilueuco. And one may chooso calomel—another, blue mass—tbo third, podophyllin—tho fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tunics.—Article* that give tone or strength, such os quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Rone (Ct or thoroughwort is ono of the best used in fevers. A (stringent a.—Such as check the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtnil's, not properly astringents which have the offoct. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tho system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tho best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. Those are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” aud “sedative” than known in the materia inedica. 1 sliull uot tax tlie reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tho results of u trial, aud will only refer to one instance of success, that on thu Packet ship Duclies* D'Orleana. which cannot bo classed among ordinary certificates- Wo, the undersigned, certify to the’ following viz— Wo took passage on the uacketship Duchess d’Orioan, uapt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’ ind bound for New York.

United .States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from the same miasiaal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference In age, sex, constitution aud habits of the sufferers; hut as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy Unit is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a nievific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared laud-, is the same iu character aud effect; is a (xu son flouting in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, File Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it. even iu the open air. and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of it* baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is bcliengl to he entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the 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 lie effected; the (sit lent contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should nnik-* its use again necessary. in its operation upon the poison iu flic system, it will immediately relievo all tho distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, ami when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Nighi Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede- ■ cities. The patient at once begins to reever appetite nnd strength, anil continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in tho community; farmers, me chanics. and all laboring people may he using this arti cle ns a Preventive, And pursue their respective avoeutious iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tho most vuluublc part of tho year. Since the introduction ot the CUKE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved those assertions iu liiyor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, ut the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to muny, even of tlie most candid minds, because all the 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 drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fall, or give only temporary relief, tlieir poisonous effects are suporndded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie 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 Harinlessncs*, The .oilowing certificate from one of tlie. most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, nnd a copy of it is at tached to cveiy 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 havo not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES K. CHILTON, M. D, Chemist.” It is 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 one under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance. This is owing to the 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 tlie Cure as a preventive, nnd so destroy the poison beforo it does harm. Full directions nnd 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. Tlie very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to c.eansc the stomach ami free the biliary passages. Remember tlint where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution,—ln certain specified cases, jamr the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and . cstroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the 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 tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blow n in tlie glass, and ou the outside wrapper is the 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 roa its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will he considered sufficient.

X had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GT.ADDING. 24 Dottles Perform til Cures.

One young lady in the ramily of a clergyman here lias been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent bene it—a few days since she got a bottle of tlie Cure and lias not had a chill since.

Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticei.i.o, lud., Aug. 27, 1856. J. A.

Respectfully yours, ’ ‘ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. K. li., Ga., Jan. 1, 1858. Your Agile Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all 1 can in its sale. ‘ W. A. HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village ill tho United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. K. Chilton, of New Y'ork, certifies to its per fect innoeeuee. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever nnd Ague or not, just ns they please. I can also say that a great many of iny largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them 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 filliiny newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than everattended auy other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use us 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 l ave a single attack of Fever and Ague. Bilious or Ye low Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malarie, to which the Cure is u perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick aud permanent efforts as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to ail whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious disease*, night sweats, languor and de bility or auj kind ol intemperance or ilissipntiou.
