As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma

ihe attHek, persons enn scarcely realize that they had
iiemi really ntueli slek, and very naturally conclude Hi y
wort not attack oil with fever, and If so, “il was trifling
•a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have been
nothing of consequence—lt would have passed nil with

impression on the subject of fever Is such, that thoughts

.is naturally ns men think at nil; and il is not until
ihe individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully
unitize tho truth; and even then ha may conclude them
all very t isling esses, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus Riiceessful in perhaps hundreds of ruses, must
expect lliat there wil cases ~eeur wh re there is some
organic or .ocol rause so great iih to require particular
attention or though success til 111 reducing Ihe fever,
it will again rise as the Influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in snen eases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.”
Remark* on Fevers in Uencrah
On this subject I wish to be fully understood. By tho
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they uriso by a great
variety of nsnses, and ill quite dissimilar constitutions
end l-abl.s, th y of course differ considerably in their
development nnd exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the name general character
istics—that o undue excitement in fhu circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in tho pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Sic.
To show that l uui not wholly atone in the opinion 1
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, Condon, whose work on the “ Princi
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently sluiutardauthurity.
On p ge 884, he says;—“lVe hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Jt.v tho pillule, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
bilious Fever. Putrid Fevor, bow Fever, Nervous Fever,
,vc. And systematic writers are to tho full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynumir, Unatro-Knteric, and
•io forth. Slow, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bud and hurtful. It
encourages a disjiosition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
lin.i of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that ran be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the m ‘St dissimilar of t hem, 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
lover, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
Mill be well nstead of any distinctchararter being devel
oped, so fu to he properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at tho bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
k by myself and others) under n great variety of eir
kiunsttmces, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at onco without regard to name, and rest
.insured you will soon be freed from ull dread ol’ linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as eases may have be
come developed before tho ‘* Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most promineul fevers, though the “ Hides”
and “Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all llmse
accustomed to attendance upon tiie sick.
Hides important to lx- observed in all rases in vsiu/j Ihe
Negate re Electric Fluid.

qnautlty of water, and inny lie sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must bo free from nil currents of air,
(though there should ul ivaVs Ire free ventilation in the
sick room.) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
,*l,i. It must ho continued whenever the fever sill,sides,
or Is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it
(>eglns to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
bo loft perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned jin to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, road or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, Independent of nil extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed iu their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
qule to nil intents and purposes.
sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as tho patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or tens, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
6th. Should patients experience any oppression or
tuintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of It, they should havo a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
will give tinineiUnte relief.

ami Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with lover, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, tlio treatment
differs hue little from that of common levers. Remember
never wait to learn the ” name,’ wle ther iti.- one or the
other, or iwillicr, as llioy all commence wUliJieer, but
treat it at once; govern tlio lever and there will Is; no
trouble; there, will he hul tittle eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will lie regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will he cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, ami that there is no necessity of
its rtinning its ordinary course. On this I will btako
not mily my reputation, hut a 1 that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, l have good authority; tiiut of
Prof. Matson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874:
“You may abate the foree of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, ills believed, the number the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlio admission unit it may
be done. I. nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous eases that occurred on board
ship. .See the account appended.
Uivo a teaspoontul or more, according to the urgency
of tlio case, w ith a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feveraub
sidea—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
hut it should Ire given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may ha used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duclichhil'Urleuns, the tongue
and fallens were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping Ihe
Fluid on Ills tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoontul doses every hour, till
ull alarming symptoms disappeared. The 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 wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best fpttyle in all such eases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and affirming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of littlo consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoontul, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid w ill arrest it in a short time. It should bo re
peated as long us the fever continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of course should bo attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a 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 tile Fluid in
many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlio labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to he appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will he relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Hestlessncss, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken ut 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 the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of tho nervous as well as the circulatory,
tt will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Kynopsls.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, l give under this head general
directions ter all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tho condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may boor ought to be called, it should lie giien
wherever or whenever it. exists; yet it cannot he ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he romoved in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any ease, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving the “ Fluid,” nnd in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then ho lost As the ‘, Fluid” alone w ill sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give u cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tlio 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 lie good fm
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part: if
violent pain iu the 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, w ith great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits nnd
water, either w ill afford great relief nnd aid tho medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics ami stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become ro
duceil; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he
allayed before any medicine will remain ou the stomach
to do any good: for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, it
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie
stomach lias settled, give tho “ Fluid” and a cathartic it
necessary; in short, treat all tho 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 cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease
with which yon can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know wlmt is meant by
intimities, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, anil to he fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz :
Cathartics. —Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, anil many pills, antihilious, Ac.: anything
known to he good fur such purpose-.
lls-pnt lea.—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 when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system Is under its iu
Alienee. And one may chouse calomel—another, blue
muss—the third, podnpliyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and he suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, sueli
as quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
sei or thorough wort is one of the la st used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. laiudanum nnd other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not nroperlv astriuirenU
which have the effect. *
St Ininlnnts.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. 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 neoossa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are genetnilv
used, but the Negative Kleotric Fluid is n l*<t*er “dia
phoretic.” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” •• relaxant” and

WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
AIA.IjAB.IA OB MIABMA “
f| ’ll Bob diseases are common to many localities cf the
X United States; but wherever they prevail. North,
South, East or West, they l! equally spring from the
same iniastnal cause. The great variety ol symptoms and
fortiis of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as tlie
cause is the same, they will all equally yield ton remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove tliat cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle lues its opposite,
and for every diseasu, on cause of disease, there is a re
agent. or in other words a airecific remedy. AH Malaria,
w lietlier arising from Marshes. Stagnant water, decompo
sition of iiuimai and vegetable mutter, or even new ly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son ffoutiug in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe It. iu accordance with those unalterable laws
governing tho unerring affinity subsisting between op
posites, there is iu the preparation before us, offered to
tlie public,
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact w itli it, even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful inffuunce, anil thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
tin- following extraordinary results from its use :
It will instantly check the ague in persons wiio have
suffered (dr uuy length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to tlie direc
tions, u radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should mak“ its use again necessary.
in its operation u|ion the poison iu the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent tlie accession of
General Debility and Night. Sweats,
which so often follow, the administration of ether mode
cities. The patient at once begins to reiver appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from
every family anil class iu the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pni-sWe 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 tlio introduction of the CURE in every part of
tlio United States, its success lias been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved theso assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because all ihe resources cf
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and wlmt 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.
Tho 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 superadded
to tho poor suffcrcr’H first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever anil Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may he token 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 Hannlessness,
The .ollowing certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in tlie United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eve: y 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 I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D„ Chemist.”
It i- a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
lestined uot only to relieve tlio 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 ltenie iy 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 be taken in advance,
this is owing to tho diseases being produced by one and
the sumo 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 itselt 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 n 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 antihilious purgative. The
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach
anil free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be takes
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ol>-
structed.
Only Caution. —Iu certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the 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 the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
and estroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise he
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
Tlie bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the
glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is tlie name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of tlie 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.

by nil who have used it us being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
(ains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesamino,
tho pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than any
other Cough Medicine iu this country.

Dear Sir—Tho public generally arc fully aware of ihe
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparitlas. Pills, Plasters, Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object iu writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are nfflicteil, to use one that contains articles of
Heal Vet iu J'ulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most uiiprofessiiinally.and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and tlie regular
Practitioners of Medicine. 1 refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used bv Physicians.

0. 0. Woodman—Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a Mr trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects ; better than any other article I ever met with. 1
would he pleased to have yon send nie half a dozen hot
ties by the hearer. Respectfully,
SV. M. Mason. M. and.
1 his preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints
tins medicine, from its peculiar properties ns a dissolvmt
and its mm,thing power to nil irritations of tho throat,
will probably l> preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also lie found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
Keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sane-
Honed by, approved of. and recommended by the leading
I hysicians of Now York citv. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We gtiaran
teo it to be better than huv Cherrv Pectoral, Cod Liver

Evl leiice from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855.
Mr. J. A. Diodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the lamii;’ of a clergyman here has been taking an
“ AGUE 11 A. .SAM” for some months without any per
manent benefit —a few days since she got a bottle of
the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man
also used th” same Balsam some time without relief
until he got i bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

J. A. Rhotbs—Dear Sir—l have beeu in tlie practice

scientiously recommend yqur medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,

Louisville No. 11, C. R. K., Ga., .Tan. 1, 1856.
Your Agn- 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 do
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. ’ W. A.TIAYI.ES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every liottle of tho CURE, which is being intro
duced as rabidly as possible into every town and village
iu the Unit id States, Canadas, Sic. The eminent chem
ist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of Now 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 these who a year ago wore reluctant even to
take the Cm oon commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions, could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will he noticed that the letters
of which 1 1 i blish su h immense quantities are always
new ami lati dates—altogether they would more tliuu
fill any news mper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess nnd sale than ever attended any other Aguoßemody.
The Croxvnlng’Glorv
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its fr- ■ use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a hottlo or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons. nut a nan woman or child in the United States
would ever reave a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yillow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a fier/ict antidote.
It is nlso uut-quiilled for quick anil permanent t fleets
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor anil de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
