N fiGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID. Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. D. In iv oiiu why it should be used instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile afTeetioini: I 4t.~Keunumy of Time.—A* only am-Meeth n| the ordinary time is required touflect a cure. jtl.-.Kcmioiny of Money. —As it cots but one ilnllur. 3rd.—Economy of it stives the sutlerlug of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; tile annoyance of taking nauseating ilosvs oi medie.iue, tlieir lUsagreeablo operation, and the pain of | ion it conilucuirnt: hut lltfla of the fluid being neoaasary, i and ...at pleasant in its effect*. 4tli.—Economy of Thought.—As when I known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present I existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. .ilia.— Economy of llenllta.— As thu system is not reduced, and consequently nicked; nor is thu fever subject to be followed by ■ lirunic disease. tit It.—Economy of Isifu.—As the cure isutlectisl before and without reducing the patient, i uiacqucntly removing, in a corresponding decree, all dauber of a fatal termination. Other reasons iui|{liL he added, Imt these arc deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. flie above reasons are more particularly applicable to thu iunuediutn treatment on the lirst nttacl., but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course •o tile nature of the ease at tile time it is first adiniuis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, In all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much siek, and very naturally conclude they were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of cusequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as iiicu think at all; and it is not until the individual lias witnessed many cases that he can fully realise the t ruth; and even then tin may conclude them ■II very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have hecii thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur wliero there in some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though successlul in reducing the 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 111 suen coses tliut i have given and frequently refer to whut I have called a “ syuiqisis.” lie murk* oil Fevers In tienrral- On this subject I wish to lie fully understood. Jty the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other emptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and iiabits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit n variety of forms or typos; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics —that ol undue excitement hi the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in tho pulse, sense id heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that J am not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from tho eolebrafed Prof. T. Watson, of King s College, London, whose work on the “ I‘rincl pies and Practice of I’hysic” Is a text Issik in many of our medical colleges, and Consequently utandant authority. On page 831, hesayst—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, dilterunt species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, llraiu Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, laiw Fever, Nervous Fever, .v. And systematic writers are to tho full as particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastru-Bnterie, ami i forth. Now. admitting that levor shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is had ami hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro scribe for a disease according to Its mime. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each .llier, even tho most dissimilar of them, ami are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is u great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a ‘••name;” if you have fever, treat it ai once hs hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to he properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specular tion* or visions of mind, hut on experience at tho bed side of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir . umstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon ue freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers, lint as cases may have be i une developed befo*e tho “ Fluid” is given, cithor by neglect, or under somo other treatment. I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ ltulcs” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick. Hides important tn be observed in all rases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist.

It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing oft’; to ho resumed when It begins to rise again, should such be the caße under any circumstances. Ilh. When the fever begins to subside,patients must bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their mow natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel moro or loss interested, but be left quiet to all iu tent sand purposes. Mil. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as lung as tho patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous ill-inks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. titli. Should patients experience any oppression or faiutuess while in tho lying posture, so us to occasion a restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to iccnsion them to speak of it. they should have a little win.-, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other Btlwulant; or the face and breast may lie bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

There is no particular earn necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for ft little guide. 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion.

If in any case the h ovels me particularly constipated or confined, give a .-uhartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they mod be opened or the fever mnv rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and tlie patient is nut particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily ‘qicrated ou by medicine generally—a double dose, or two tcaspoonsful may be given at first with advantage, iiml even repeated hi two lioure—if it—the pulse—has not been softmed, thus showing tbo medicine lias taken effect. Buthiug the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and watui, iu these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. C’ongrsllve Fever. (live two teaapvonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only u tea spoonful, to be discontinued ns the fever subsides. As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in thll disease, no time should be lost to get them open, give somo active cathartic with the “Fluid” ami repeat as may be neeea "ary till it operates; enemas (injections) mav also he used to advantage; also, mustard to the’ extremities, or Ivietion (rubbing) with the hands or flannel: also, cold applications to the head.

Vuiiolu, Varioloid, Uubcola and Hcatla -11 iia ; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Meualea, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended With fever, which iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the tri-utmotit differs Inis little from that of coniniou fevers, llcnc-mhor never wait to learn the “ name” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with Jen r, hut treat It at'once; govern the f.-ver and there will be no trouble; there will he tent little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will bo regarded With ridicule hy many. 1 nevertheless b ildly 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, and Unit there is no rucessily of its running Its ordinary course. On litis I will stake not only my reputation, lint all that I hold most dear ; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of l’l-of. Watson previously quoted. He says, page 874: “ Full may uuatc the force of tlie eruptive lover, ami keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I have not only proven it may be, Imt has been dono In numerous cases that occurred on hoard ship. See the account appended. (live a tcaspoonful or more, accoidiug to the urgency oi the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides —though one or two doses is generally sufficient; hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. W hen the throat is affected, auy of tlie ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. Iu one case, on the ship Duchess d’Oiieaus, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured fiy dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop hy drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till alt alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to lake nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid nlono.— Used to wot tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the best, gargle iu all such cases. Puerperal or tlilhl bed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous aud alarming malady to which the mother is liable will yiedd to tlie Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be oi little consequence. A single dose or two of a tcaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as tlie Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should he .re peated us long as the level- continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should he attended to. in connection with this subject, l cannot l-elraiiifrom making a few general remarks, which, if regarded hy the ladies, will save them much Jiain and suffering, it is to inform them of the happy effect of tlie Fluid iu many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by itsuse; in short, it is one of tlie 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 ail excitability and iritability of the nervous us well as the circulatory. It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will south and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy: lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense (lie treat ment as much as possible, I give under tills head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lover, or sulukie and control 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 he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent euro. When such indications occur in any case, they should he appropriate means, and these soliuld bo given while giving tho “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing moro general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be 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 tho first dose, or goon after, and should it fail to operate In due time, repeat the dose; if attended u 'ith diarrhoea, give something known to be good fur 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 in cold water, to tho part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the salt no wash,” vinegar anil water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou ble ; if tho patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good: lor 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 if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, ami success w ill crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, ami then you will be astonished at tlie ease Willi which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties limy feel nt a loss to know wlmt is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles ol’medi cine t have referred to, viz:— (at hurtles.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil,salts, senna, any of thermits or harks, ami many pills, aiilibilious, Ac.; anythin*’ known to bo good for such purposes. llepatics.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of th articles depended on by tin* different schools for this purpose, will answer w hen used in connection with (he “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. Ami one may choose calomel—another, hltie mass—the third, podophylllu—tlie fourth, mandrake root, ami so on; each may take his choice and In* suc cessful. Tonics.— Articles that give tune or strength, such as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Done set or thorouglnvort is one of the best Used in fevers. Astringents.—Finch as check the action of tho bowels, lamdanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not iiroiierlv astriiuients which have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best: ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tin* essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating levers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “ relaxant ” aud “sedative” tlmnknouu in tho materia medico. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on the results of a trial, ami will’ only refer to one instance of success, that on the l’ncketshlp Dnriirss U’Orlesus. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates* Wo, the undersigned, certify to the following,\ii_ We took passage on the paeketshlp Duchess d’Orleans Capt Hutton, then lyinir in tUo port of Havre France’ and Island for New York.

Tho grout variety of symptoms aud forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, svx, kiU ,itutiou ami habits of tin* sufferers; but as tho cause is the 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 has its opposite, and for every disease, ui- cause of disease, tlie re is a re agent, or in other winds u specific remedy. All Malaria, w iielher arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal ami vegetable mutter, or even newly clcni oil lauds, is tlie same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in tlio atmosphere, causing disease to nil wliu breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing Ihe unerring affinity subsisting between op p.idles, there is in tlie preparation before us, offered to tile public, Tiiu Natural Antidote to Malaria, which ucutruliz.es the poison whenever it comes iu con tact with it, even in the upeu air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies tho system affected hy it of its baneful inlliteuee, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known to any hut the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results frnfii its use; It will instantly check tho ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one. day to twenty years, anil by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from tire complaint for ever; unless subsequent exp isure to malaria should make its use again uecessary. In its operation upon tlie poison in tlie system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tho disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility ami Night Sweats, which no often follow the administration of other mode* cities. The jiatient at onco begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By it:, use Fever and Ague may ho banished from every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me chanics, aud ull laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, Aml pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tho most valuable part of the year. Since the intf* duciion of the CUBE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seuned incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all tlie resources f Science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat 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 Arsenis, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ate. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, aud when such remedies foil, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should ho particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may ho 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 ol’Public Confidence, Because of its Singular ami Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in tiio United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1865. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’Fever and Ague (Jure, 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 Ifoiuid any substance iu its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES li. CHILTON, M. IX, Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined nut only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, hut 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 the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tlio diseases being produced by one and tin* same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves hy 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 the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits ol’ 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. The very best thing for general use Is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and Gee the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or tiiere is costiveuess, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will he seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of out* or more bottles of tlio Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu 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 destroy, to a Uegiee commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie 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) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. Thf. reliance fob its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient. l’repnred and sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, K. I, For sale in Ochunbns by KIVLIN, THOMAS A CO., February 10, 1850. ly Druggists.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but worthy woman, who has not been fre e from Fever.aud Ague a mouth at a time for tlie last twelve years, I‘sup plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure. She took in all four liottles which completely re stored her to health und strength, and as lour months have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tlie perma nency of the cure. C. A. P.

Truly yours, LATUROP A MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, J take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever ou the Isthmus of Panama, several mouths since, and in spite of the different remedies and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until I commenced the nse of your Fever aud Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now iD the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur ui *dicine the success that it merits, 1 remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of putting medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Shnrpsburg, who lias it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, aud we take pleusure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Ml. Sept. 4. F.vUleuce from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. .1. A. Rhodes, —Deal* Sir—l cheerfully testify to the vuluo of your Antidote to Malaria. Ono young lady in tin* family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for somo 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 the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like aeliatm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.

A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. HAYLES. 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 into every town and village in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. K.Chilton, of New 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. 1 call also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take tho Cure oil commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will ’ e noticed that the letters ol which l publish su *li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the tact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Renn dy. The Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use aa a preventive. Thus protected hy using a bottle or two during tlio warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have n single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow* Fever, or any form of disease arising from tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened hy Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor und de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
