NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared l>y M. W. Seat, M. I>.

Economy of Thought. — As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while H dear IVlend is sick. tlx. — Economy of Health. —As (lie system (h not reduced, and consequently rneked; uor is the fover subject lo be followed by chronic disease. Oth. Economy of l.lfc. — As the cure is effected before and without reducing lire patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger ol u fatal termination. Ollier rensons might be added, but these are deemed Kiiillcient to satisfy all classes aud persons iu all condi tions of life. The above rousons are more particularly applicable to tiie immediate treatment on tlio first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or iiavo become reduced, corresponding of courso •o the nature of the case at tho time it is lirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent ruliof, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize tluil they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y wore not attacked with fever, and if so, “it v.as trifling —a little cold, which gato alarm —it could have been uothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine leal no effect.” Tlio general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case us naturally as men think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed ninny cases that bo can fully realize tlio truth; and even then he may cnueltide them all very trifling cases, whieh would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, I.hough they have been I Inis successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there wili casus occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though suceesslul in reducing tlio fever, it will itgnin rise us the influence of the “Fluid” pusses oil', us the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in stien cases that 1 have given and frequently refer lo what 1 have called a “ synopsis.” Renini ks on Fevers lu Utnerab On this subject I wish to be fully understood, By the term “levers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which tho human frame is subject, including sniull pox Htifl Other eruptive ftwem; hut nn llir* nrisfl tty a fticat variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they id’ course differ considerably in their development nnd exhibit a variety of fore s or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general oharacler i. tics that ol undue excitement in tho circulatory aud nervous systems —inducing more or loss unnatural fre quency in the pulse, hi-nse of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that] am not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance. 1 quote from th” colebrafed Prof. T. Watson, ol King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ples mid Practice of Physic” Is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. On page 834, he says:—“ We hear continually, both in und out of the profession, different species of lever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fover, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I atn persuaded that tho effect upon the mind of nil this sub-division, is biul 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 call be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, oven the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Tim above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would imprest on your minds tlio folly of hunting op or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have (ever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will he well instead of any distinetcharuoter being devel oped, so ns to be properly named by the most soientilic. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at tho bed side of tlio sick, in hundreds, ayo, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons aud climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, uud rest assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have lie come developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe us briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent levers, though the “ Rules” aud “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick. /Inks important tv be observed in all cases in using the A'egativt Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given iu throe or four times its own quantity of wuter, and may bo sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be freo from all currents of air, (though there should always be free ventilation in the sick room,) uor attempt to go about while under its in- II uouce. 3d. It must bo continued whenever tho fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fover begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should uot bo questioned as to thoir wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or tuko any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce, them to rise or speak; nor should uuy conversation be allowed iu their hearing, iu which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents ami purposes. sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as tho patient desires aud 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. C'tli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tho Ijriug posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after tlio fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little winy, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with 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.

There is no particular care necessary lit giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken lull doses; but tor 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 the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in ad ,q its etTocts, the expectations of the imst sanguine realised, and many perfectly astonished My object in l>eiug thus particular is. that the full beueflt of the medicine may lie obtained and uot on account of any actual necessity „f such strict ob servances. Hiltons or Itrmltlent Fever. (Jive a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tlie fever is evidently passing off; tilts constitutes the whole treatment in till simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the ••Rules.’’ Ilut should there he prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should he attended to at once, and while giving the *• Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any case the b wels are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the llrst portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the inlluenee of medicine—not easily operated on hv medicine generally—a double dose, or two tcaapoonsful may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours it it—tin* pulse—has not been soft* tiftl, thus showing the medicine lias taken effect. bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and w ater, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much ill taking effect.

As the Imwels are generally confined, and It is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease no time shouldb lost to get them open, give some active’ cathartic with the •> Fluid'’ and repeat as may he neces sary till it operates, enemas (injectious) may also he used t„ advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or (notion (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold oppliCitlons to the head.

Variola, Varioloid, itubeola and Scixi lu 11iisxI or Small Pox, V arioloiil, Me union, Slid Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attcudedAvitli fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs bun little from tliut of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn tlio “ name ,” whether it is one or the other, nr neither, its they all commence with Jen r, but treat it at once; govern the fever und there will be no trouble; there will be but Utile, eruption. even iu small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, aud doubtless will ho regarded w ith ridieule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will he, cut. short; attended witli but littlo erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On tills i will stake not only my reputation, but all that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, anil keep down, it is believed, the number oj the, pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it may he, lout Ims been done in numerous eases that occurred on huard ship. See the account appended. (live a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once ill two hours if necessary, until the feversub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep tiie fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one ease, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, tlio tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, uud lie was cured l.y dropping the I Fluid on ins tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till nil mlurmins symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tiie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless the bed gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. ‘1 his heretofore painful, dangerous uml alarming tuulady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tiie Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, ns tlio Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated us long as the lover continues, as in other cases. Tim bowels of courso should be attended to. Iu connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few generul remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It Is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials, lu child-birth, its relaxing and soothing ofiect deprives tlio 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. Bestlessuess, nervous irritability, or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is ono of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not die most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that oue can sleep naturally and healthy; li -nce its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, aud condense tho treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tho condition called lever, or subdue aud control it under all circumstances, without regard to tiie name it may bo 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. VV lieu such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soliuld be 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 the fever, 1 cull all else auxiliary treatment. if the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho lirst dose, or soon alter, aud should it fail to operate in duo time, repeat the dose: if attended •eltli diarrhoea, give something known so bo good tor tliat complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlio “Fluid” will soon relieve thut condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply sonio stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or. perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tiie part; if violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or sonio cooling application, and bailie the feet in hot water; if the fover is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, spungo or bathe llie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tiie saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tiie medi cine iu taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient lias 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 ; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” nnd a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other cireumstances, giving the “Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then yon will bo astonished at tlio ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Fat ties may feci at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about wluit is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi eino l have referred to, viz:— t lit lm rt ftch*—Articles that purge or operate on tin* bowels, such us castor oil, suits, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antlbllious, Ac.; anything known to be good forsneli purposes. Hepatlci. Anything known to act ou the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Aliy of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “ Fluid” or while tlio system is under Its in fluence. And one may chooee calomel— another, blue mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be sue ccssful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone sec or tliorougliwort is one of the best used iu fevers. Astringent a. —Such ns check the action of the bowels, laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tiie best • ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry m treating levers, though many others are generally use I, but the Negative Electric Fluid is „ better “ dia phoretic, “uuodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative than known in tlio materia malic,i 1 shall uot tax the reader with a long list'of proofs, dope tiding mainly on the results of u trial, aud will only refer to ono instnuce of success, that on tlio Packet ship Duchess D’Orleans. w hich cannot be classed among ordinary certificate* ■ “o, the undersigned, certify to the following vir— Me took passage on the packetshfp Duchess d'Orleuns Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France’ and bound tor New York.

The great variety ot symptoms und forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as tlio causo is Hie same, they w ill oil equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. by the law sos Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of iniimui and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a jioi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breatle- il. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between oje posites, there is in the preparation before its, offered to the public, Tiie Natural Antidote (> Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tort witli it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system 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 tmt the proprietor, who distinctly claims Lite followvug 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 be effected; tiie 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 Die 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 Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cincs. The patient at once begins to reevor appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect lienitli. By 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 iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, w hich is often to them the most valuable part of tiie year. Since tho introduction of the CUKE in every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete aud 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 ilie resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; uud wliat was still worse lor ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saliciue, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than tlio disease they subdue, aud when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects jre superadded to the poor sufferer's lirst complaint. On this account aguo 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 Singular and Entire Harmless ness, The lollowing certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in tho United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examinational 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 Ifonnd any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It ir a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relievo the human family from malarious diseases, but to do uu 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 the diseases being produced by one an! the same cause, anil therefore all, botli residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tho Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by 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 free the biliary passages. Remember tiiat where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must i:e taken or tiie operation of tiie antidote will bo seriously ob structed. Duly Caution.— ln certain specified cases, jiuur the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, ami also tho air watted across, or circulated over the dregs of it. after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to u degteo commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situatious. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ac.ue Cure” blown in the glass, aud on the outside wrapper is tho name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tho signature of tho proprietor. These precautions aro taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely uton its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will bo considered sufficient.

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 iu the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Curo and has not had a chill since. A young man also used tho same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Pliysician. Montickllo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —I have been in the practice of Medicine hero for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and proscribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, ‘ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11. C. U. It., Ga., Jan. 1, ISSC. Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called wlio has been iitlly cured by only ono bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. 11AYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly ns possible into every town und village in tlio United States, Canadas, &e. 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 F’ever and Ague or not. just as they please. I 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 ho noticed that the letters of which I publish sn li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than everattendedany 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 the warm nnd 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 tiie Cure is n perfect antidote. It is ulso unequalled for quick nnd permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life aud strength to all w hose constitutions have been shattered or Weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
