This, touiost miuds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make ihe assertion, that small pox, If treated as I direct, will be cut short; attended with but littlo erup tion; little or no pitting, nnd that there Is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake □otouly my reputation, hnta.l that 1 hold most dear; borides, on this subject, 1 liuve good authority; tiiat of Fros.

See the account appended. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to tho urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho Fluid once in two hours if necessary, unlil (he foversub aidos —though one or two doses is gcucrudy sufficient; but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to kcop tbs fevar under control. When tho throat is utb-ctod, any of the ordinary gargles may ho lined, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. in one caso, on the ship Duchess d’Orleaus, the tongue and faurn* wore so much swollen that the patieut C'mld not swallow or speak, aud ho was cured by dropping tho Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till he could sw allow, wbeu it was given in toaspoonful dose* every hour, till all alurinlug symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so ns to enable liiiu lo take nour ishment in about twelve lioura by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such caaos. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous aud alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to scum to be of little consequence. A single dose or two ol’ a teaspoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. Jt should be re peated as long as tho fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject. 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, w hich, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering. I t is to Inform them of the happy effect of tho Fluid iu many of tiielr trials. Ju child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— I’aiul'ui menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com mon done andretirlng.

Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment aa much as possible, 1 give under this head general iirectioua for all cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and ■outrol it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which when sucli exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, nnd these soliuld he given whili ziviug the “Fluid,” und in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act. producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary lime will then bo lost As the‘, Fluid” alone will sub lue tho fovor, I call nil else auxiliary treatiueut. If the bowels are costive, give cathartic (aee auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it tail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended “Ith diarrhoea, givo something known to be good lor that complaint, thougli ff caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local psin or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, n blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and liathe the feet in hot water; if the fover is very high, skin dry nnd hot, with great eufforing, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the .saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief aud aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will ho no trou ble ; if the patieut lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, givo tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, luring convalescence, when tho patient Ims become re dneed; if there is nausea und vomiting, that must lie dlaycd before tiuy medicine will remain ou the stomach to do any good; lor this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, il given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the -itomuch has settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic il necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms is 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 nave soeu, and then you will be astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by uthartlcH, Ac., ns physicians are usually particulai ibout what is used. 1 have found uo sucli necessity when using thu Fluid, ami to be fully understood by *ll, I will name a lew of the different articles of modi ■ine 1 have referred to, viz I'atliiirllrs.— Articles that purge or operate on the oowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots •r barks, aud many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic|. Anything known to set on tlie liver ,rticulrly, portal circulation aud secretions generally Any of the articles depended ou by the different school tor this purpose, will answer when used iu connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in duencc. And one may choose calomel—another, blue nass—the third, podopliyllln—the fourth, uiandrnk, coot, nnd so on; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that givo tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bono tot. or thoroughwort is ouo of the lies! used in levers. Astringents.—Such as chock the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; atso, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is oue of the best; ginger, Hpirltrt, hartshorn, icc., tht* cmhjqcos urc till more or less stimulating. These are the ouly classes necessa ry iu tri uting fevers, though many others are gcneiullv used, but the Negative Klectric Fluid is a bot'er “dio phorctic.

The great variety of symptoms and forms “f disease iu owing principally to difference iu age, sex, ("ueliiution and habits of the sufferers; hut rs the cause is the same, they will all equally yield ton remedy that iu competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a ri agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All .Malaria, whether ari-iug from Marshes, .Stagnant water, ilecomisi sitiou of uuiniul and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character aud effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere,causing diseu-iotoaU who breath’- it. Iu accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to tin- public, Tl>e Natural Antidote to Malariu, which neutralizes tin- |K>ison whenever it comes iu con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the sy stem affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the follow lug extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for auy length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will bo effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should mak** its use again necessary. In ita operation upon tho poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague discasce, and when the disease is oured, it w ill entirely provent the accession ol General Debility and Night Sweats, w hich so often follow tho administration nf other mede- Cines.

When these declarations wore made, at tho dute of its introduct.ou, they seemed incredible to many, even ol the most candid miuds, because all the resources cf science had been taxed in vain to subduo ague or bilions diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, ail their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, havo been limited to poisonous or destructiv e drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercery, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these arc sometimes worse tiiau tho disease’ they subdue, and when such remedies fail or -.ive only temporary relief, their pois uous effects .ire superndded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On tills account ague sufferers should be 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 uot only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its .Singular and Gnlire Hariniesiiiiess, Tlie ollovving certificate from on of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fevei and Ague Cure or Antidote to Malaria, and havo tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have lfound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. •‘.IAMBS I!. (IIIII,TON, M. D., Chemist.” It i< a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is lestiiied not only to re.ieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to and > an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines w hich do harm. Tho entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Keme .y uot more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed ns the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance, this is owing to the diseases being produced by one anj tlie same cause, und therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of thi6 preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their voins, to develop itsell in a violent attack. Take the Curo as a preventive, nnd so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice ns to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician loug 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. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dqse of Castor Oil, the object of which is to c eans tho stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that when cilia is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or tlie operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln 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 tho medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud estroy, to a deg ee commensurate with its exp. sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu the apartment. I’his mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to wiicn 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 w rapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions tire taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its vcti'al merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient. Prepared and sold bv the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. TANARUS, For sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1850. ly Druggists.

A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to i “commend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A.IIAYLKB. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CUKE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible in o every town and village in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. 11. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innoceuc ■. It Is therefore optional with all to have tho Fever an 1 Ague or not, just as they please. I can also t ly that a great many of my largost custo mers arc these who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cur -on commission. They thought its great claims and pt.-tensions could not bo realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will bo noticed that the letters ot which I publish su h immense quantities arc always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any news-aper, and prove tho fact of a greater suc cess and .sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tbe warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or A allow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tho Cure is a per/, ‘•t antidote. It is also tt .equalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to till whoso constitutions have been shattered or weakenod by Ague or Billers diseases, night sweats, languor aud de bility or any ,tind of intemperance or dissipation.
