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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Respectfully yours, ” * SV. G. SPENCER. 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.
