Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy ull classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first, altnek, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding id course •o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in ail ordinary cases, when used soon ul'ter the attack, persons can scarcely reali/.e that they had been really much sick, 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 cnuacqiience—it would have passed oft with out anything—that medicine had uoeffeet.” The general impression oil the subject of fever Is such, that thoughts not unlike tlm above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual bus witnessed many cases that he can fully realise the truth; and oven then he may conclude them all very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful iu perhaps hundreds of cast h, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so gn at us to require particular attention, or though successful in reducing the fever, il will again rise us the influence of the “ Fluid” passes oil, as tho exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.” Kcinai'ksvu l'evcrs fix General* On this subject l wish to bo fully understood. Ily tho terns “fi vers.” I comprehend nil febrile affections to which tho human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and liaLdts, tin y of course differ considerably In their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by tho same general cliaraeter isti. s-that ot undue excitement in tliu circulatory and nervous system#—inducing more or less unnatural fro qiiency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the Hkin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, ol King's College, l.orulon, whose work on tho “ Princi ples und Practice of Physic” Is a textbook in many of our medical colleges, ami consequently stamlartiautiu/rity. On page 834. he Hays; —“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different sp'-eios of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Eiiterie, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that, Iho effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is hiul and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distincliou between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They rtm insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would iinjircts Otl your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have lever, treat It at once as hereafter directed, and yon will be well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closot specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself ami others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, und treat at once without, regard to name , and rest assured voti will Roon be freed from all dread of linger ing ami dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briolly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent lovers, though tho “ ltules” and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

When the fever begins to subside, patients must he left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exorcise whatevor, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires aud no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctious, or teas, either cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. 6th. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while iu the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the lever has passed oft, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should liavo a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with u little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tho face and breast may be bullied in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

All persons over ftltccu considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor flunales. as a general rule, us much as males. There is no pari Irnlor care necessary in giving it to children —those often years of age frequently having taken lull doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing tho above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object, iu being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Hiltons or Remittent Fever. Give a teasponful of *• Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing otl': this constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of fever, with uch observances as are set forth in the ” ltules.” But should there be promiuent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and while giving the “ F'luid.” Bee Synopsis.

Where the lever i very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine —not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may be given at first with advantage, und even repeated in two hours —if it—the pulse—has not been softenetl, thus- showing the medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at ail agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congrstlve Fever. Give two teaspoonslul and repeat every two iiours till tho pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside). As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no time should be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic wuh the “Fluid'’ aud repeat as may be neces sary till it operates: enemas (injections) may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) wttli the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever. Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. Kk As these fevers are all of one character, differing ■ mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse e small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when lolly developed, a little patience will be required: still comparatively little, IS they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commsnced-whleh may immediately follow any other without detriment-with a teaspoonful of “Fluid’ every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued nc in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides lu bad cases, from three to five grains each of gain trie. ! ami capsicum (Cayenne popper; or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) sin mid in- added to each dose. The bowels should be kept gently opeu, and small portions of some begatic should b given occasionally, even though tho bowels should be very lisise.

The boneset tea should bu given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or tlie patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Meuslcs, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases nre attended w ith fever, Which in fart Is the most prominent symptom, the treatment dilb is I,lie little from tliut of common fevers. Keniember never wait to learn the “mime,” whether it is one or the ! other, or neither, u they all commence with fever, lint treat it at once; govern the lever and there will be no trouble; there will ho but tittle, eruption even iu small pox. Tliis, to most minds, is n new idea, ami doubtless will ho regarded with ridicule by many, i nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that siuull pox, if treated as I direct, vriil be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, und that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, lint ull that I hold most dear; besides, on Ibis subject, t liuve good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874; “You limy abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, It is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Hero Is tlio admission that it muy be done. I iiave not only proven it may be, but has been done iu numerous eases that occurred on board ship. Fee tho account appended. •live a teaspoonful or more, according to tho urgency ot tho case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho Fluid once in two hours If necessary, until the leversub siiles—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep tho fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may ho used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on tho ship Duchessd’Orlcans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all 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 the throat frequently, it Is doubtless the best, gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with sueli readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence, A single dose or two of a teasjHionful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should bo re peated us long as the lever continues, as iu otiier cases. Tho bowels of coarse should lie attended to. In connection with tiiis subject, I cannot refrain from making a few genoral remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of tiie Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora sold taken at 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 nut tiie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability aud iritabillty of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will Booth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally ami healthy; hence its use iu so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for ail cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control ail organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should lie appropriate moans, and these soliuld lie 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 be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub due tiie fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If (lie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tiie 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 tie good for 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 bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho part; if violent pain in tho 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, with great suffering, 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 and aid tiie medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tollies aud stimulants, particularly iu low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea amt vomiting, that must be allayed 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 if necessary; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms as y eu would under auy other eireumstauces, giving tiie “ Fluid” at tiie same time ns directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at tho ease witli which you call control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about wliut is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— t'nt hurtles.—Articles that purge or operate on tiie bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or bulks, and many pills, antibilious. Ac.; anything known to bo good for such purposes. Heputtca.—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 iu connection with the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each limy take his choice and lie suc cessful. Tunics.-Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or thoroughwort is one of the lust used iu lovers. Astringents.—Such as chock the action of tho bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, net properly astringents, which have the effect. Stiniutnnts.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tho best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences arc all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating levers, though many others are generally used, but tho Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic.” “anodyne.” •• diuretic.” “relaxant” aud ” sedative” than known iu the matt ria nit ‘dun. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Paclcetahlp Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certiHcutes* Me, the undersigned, certify to tiie following, viz— M e tisik passage on the packetslilp Ditches* d’Grletuis Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre.

I riMIFSH disease*are common to many localities of tho United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, foot or M ost, they all equally spring from the same miasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms aud forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is tim same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By tiie laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, ami for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other word* a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the sumo in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, tin iv is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even iu tiie open air, aud when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, und 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 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 patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In irs operation upon 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 the accession of General Debility and Niglit Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede cines. Tho patient at once begins to lecver appetite and strength, and continues to improve nntil restored to perfect health. fly its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of tho year. Since tho introduction of the CURE 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 seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed iu 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, &c. Tiie effects of tiiese are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to tiie poor sufferer’s first complaint. Oil this account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the 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 prouf 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 Harinlessiiess, Tiie following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, dune 11, 1855. “1 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 Ifound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tiie constitution. “JAMES U. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the liumau family fx-om 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 the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tiie diseases being produced by one and the same cuuse, aud therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely uso of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tiie poison before it does harm. Full directions and 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. Tho very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor 011, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he taken or the 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 tiie vapor rising from tiie medicine, and also tho air wailed across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tiie Cure should likewise be 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 tho 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.

One reason it has sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, aud they were all satisfied. I had one ease of Chill Fever where it run four dayH, but the man came to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perform 24 Cures.

We remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS & ALLEN. 19 Bottles Perform 19 Cures. LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER. Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19, 1855. slr. J. A.

Rhodes —Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmu f Panama, several months since, and in spite of th ■ different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal I j grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur m ‘dicine the success that it merits, I 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.” M e are not in the habit of pulling medicines, but desire to say, lor the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, slerchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that ho sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Boonsburo, Met. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. I’lymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to slalaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman here lias been taking an “ AGUE BALSASI” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got abottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Y'ours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. 510NTICKLL0, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. ll dudes —Dear Sir —I have been in the practice of 51edicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommeud your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, ‘ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Y'our Ague Cure lias 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. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find 1 it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in tiie United States, Canadas, &c. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tiie Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers arc those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on 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 I publish such immense quantities are always new aud late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove tiie fart of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tiie frowning Glory of tiie Cure is its lIARSILESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tiie warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single uttack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Y’ellow Fever, or uny form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison 51alaria, to which tho Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as u Restorative, giving new life and strength to all ” uoso constitutions Jiavo been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor nnd de bility or any kind ot intemperance or dissipation.
