-NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Pil>arcil by X. W. Seal, M- !>• Reason* why it should be used instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affections : Ist .-- Economy of Time.— As only one-seventh I :be ordinary time is required to effect a cure. dl.-~Economy, or Money. —As it c wt but one dollar. .Ii l Economy of Feeling. —As it saves tho suffering of a long sickness ami the consequent treat mom; tho annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of ling confinement; but little of the fluid bclug necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. 4th. Economy of Thought. —As when know n, it will remove all dread aud anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. sth.— Economy of Health.—As tho system is not reduced, and Consequently racked; nor is tho fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. tit It. —Economy of Life. —As the cure is effected before aud without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Ollier reasons might bn added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the llrst attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of 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 all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realise that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed off witli 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 men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully realize the truth; and even then bo may conclude them all very Hitting cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though successful 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 lti such eases that 1 have given aud frequently refer to what 1 liuva called a “ synopsis.” Rnuarks on Fevers In (General* On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. ]ly the term “ levers,” I comprehend ail febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissiiuitar duustitutious and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development und exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics —that ol undue excitement in tho circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, it c. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I mlvauce, 1 quote from tho celebrafud Prof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” Is a text book in many of our medical colleges, aud consequently standardauthority. On page 834, bo says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. lly the public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, i.ow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. Ami systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, G astro-JCn torie, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad 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 distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They rnn 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 und 1 would impress nil your minds the fully of huutlng up or troubling youisulf about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you mill be well Instead of any distinctcharacter being devel oped, so as to bo properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Dear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or uuder some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” aud “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upou the sick. Hides important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweeteued or uot at pleasure. 2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of air, (though there should always ho free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. it must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be tho cuse uuder any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt tocouvorse. rood or take any exercise whatever till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous Influences, iiiduce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation tv allowed in their hearing, iu which they may feel more or less Interested, but be left quiei to all intents aud purposes. Sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires und no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. Oth. Should patients , xperlence any oppression or faintness while in tho lying posture, so ns to occasion a restlessness after tho fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant ; or the face and breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to childreu —those of teu years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the ulsjve table, with the remark that, us a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will bo found agreeable in all of Its effecta, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that tlie full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and not on account of any actual nei'estity of such strict ob servances. IttltouM or Remittent Fever. llive a tcuspouful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tlie fever is evidently passiug off; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple coses of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the “ Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp toms. or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to nt once, and while gtviug tlie “ Fluid.” See Synopsis.

The bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic Should be given occasionally, even though tlie bowels should be very loose. The patient should ho sustained by nourishing aud mucilagenous drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, in ail eat.es which have become reduced.

The boneset tea should lie given warm till tlie violent symptoms arc allayed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ol the kftid, to bo applied over tho seat of pain; keep tho bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola und Sear In- Unit; or Small Pox, Vurloloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of those diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, tlie treatment differs I,ne little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “ name,” whether it is one or tho other, or neither, as they all commence with J'erer, but treat it at once; govern the lover und there will be no trouble; there will b w but tilth, eruption even in small ]mjx. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will lie 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 I will stake not only my reputation, bnt all that 1 bold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 Imve good authority; that of Frol'. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: “ Von may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number (f the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” ilere is the admission that it may be done. 1 nave not only proven it mug be, but has been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. (live a tcasixjonful or more, according to the urgency of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the fever eub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep tlie fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and tlie surface bathed, as thought udvisable. In one ease, on the ship Duchess d'Orleans, tlie Longue and fauriis were so much swollen that the patient could nut swulluw or speak, und lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of the throat was unlaced so as tu enable him to take nour ishment in abont twelve boms by tho Fluid alone.— Used to wet tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. I’uerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to boos little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaapoonful, 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 he re peated as long as 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 puin and suffering. It is to inform them of tlie happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor Os 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 andretiriug. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is oue of the most convenient and effectual remedies lor many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability und iritability of tho nervous as well as the circulatory. It will uot force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use in 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 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 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 such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” aud 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 tho lever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with die iirst dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in duo time, repeat die dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for dial 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 iu cold water, to the part; if violent paiu in tho head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if tho lever 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 aud water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief aud aid tho 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 touic3 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 aud vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie 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 the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, aud success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will lie astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. l’arties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have tnuitd no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to bo fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cat lturties.— Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act outlie liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended ou by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And oue may choose calomel—another, bluo mass—the third, podophylliu—the fourth, mandrake root, anil so on; each may take his choice and be sue cewful. Tonic*.— Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Rone set or thoroughwort is oue of the best used in fevers. Ai rt regents.—Sueli as check the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have tlie effect. Mtiurelnnts. —Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the Lost; ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Ac., tho essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “ dia phoretic. ‘ “anodyne,” “diuretic.” -relaxant” aud “sedative than know nin the materia Midi,-a I shall not tax tho reader with a long list'of proofs depending mainly on tho results of a trial, ami will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Parketshii) Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates • We, the undersigned, certify to the following viz— We took passage on the paoketsbip Duchess d'Orleans l apt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’ aud bound tor New Vork.

Tho groat variety of symptoms aud forms of disease is owing principally to difference in ago, sex, conatilutiou aud habits of tile sufferers; but us tho cause is the same, they will all equally yield to u remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words u specific remedy. All -Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of iiiiiinai aud vegetable matter, ol even newly cleared lauds, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son lloutiiig in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely [un ities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to bo entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly cheek the ague iu persons who have suffered for any length of tune, from oue day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will be ((fleeted; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relievo 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 anil A’igHt Sweats, w hich so often follow tlie administration of other mede cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, und continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class iu tlie community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe 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 the year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of tlie 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 tlie date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tho most candid minds, because all llie resources cf science had been taxed in 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. Tlie effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be 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 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 Siugular ami Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists m the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 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 iu it, nor have 1 found any substance iu its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the 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 Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as tlie one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tho diseases being produced by one an 1 the same cause, and therefore all, botli residents and travelers, should protect themselves by 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 aud advice as to diet anil 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. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveuess, it must be taken or the operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln certain specified eases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,’ and placo 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 aud destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in tho apartment. This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants aro exposed to malarious situations. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cuke” blown in the gluss, aud on the outside wrapper is tlie name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of whicii is secured) and the signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions aro 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.

I had oue case of Chill Fever where it run lour days, but the man came to see me on the sixtli day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perform 34 Cures. Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1865. Mb. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —The box of “Aguo Cure” you sent us has all been sold and created a large demand for more; to meet which we have ordered from your general agent, at Chicago, J. D.

We remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS & ALLEN. 19 Bottles Perform 19 Cures. LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER. Maxwell, Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1555. Mr. J. A.

Truly yours, LATIIROP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills anil fever on the Isthmu f Panama, several months since, and iu spite of th ■ different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal 1 . grew worse until 1 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 your midiciue 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.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the beuetit of tlie afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it lias effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to tie good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Boonsboro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman hero has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” 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 the same Balsam some time without relief until he got abottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1856. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir —I have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend 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. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices hy its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only ono bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. lIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced us rapidly as possible in t o every town and village in the United States, Canadas, Ac. 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 the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are 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 be noticed that the letters ol which I publish su -h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove tho tact of a greater suc cess and sale than over 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 hy using a bottle or two during the 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 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 by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility orany kind of intemperance or dissipation.
