NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared I>y N. W. Sent, M. I>. Reasons why it should bo used instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affections: . at Ueouotny of Time. —As only one-seventh of l lie ordinary time is retiuirod to effect a cure. id.—Kcoiioiuy of Money. — As it c ads but one dollar. , :tvd.—Economy of FeelllX* —As it saves the mitering of a long sickness and tho consequent treat ment ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses ot medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of I,>ult confinement; hut tittle ot the fluid being unceesnry, amt that pleasant in its effects. 4til.— Economy of Thought.— As when known, it will remove all dread and anxioty at present existing, respecting fehrilo affections; particularly while II dear friend is sick. sth.—Economy of Hcultli. -As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nter is the fever subject to lie followed by chronic disease. tit h.—Kcuinnny of JLtfe. —As the cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, nil danger of a fatal termination. Otlior reasons might be added, but these ale deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The übove reasons are more particularly applicable t tho immediate treatment on the first 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 tbe timo it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon alter the attack, persons can scarcely realize tlint they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they werj not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘'it was trilling -a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—lt would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had nooffect.” The general Impression on the subject of feve. is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case us naturally us men think at nil; ami it is not until the individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully realise the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very biffing 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 requiro particular attention, or though success ul in reducing the fever, it will again rise as tho influouce of tho “Fluid” passes off. as tho exciting causo may still exist. Jtis to guard against disappointment in such cuses that l have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” lit-marks on Fevers in General* On this subject I wish to he fully understood. By the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which *'ie human frame is subject, including small pox and other eiaptlve fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions ami habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or typos; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics —that oi 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, Ac. To show that. 1 am not wholly iildne in the opinion I udviinco, I quote from tho oelebrafed Prof. T. Watson, of King’B College, London, whose work on tho “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently >’ nidard authority. On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, l>oth in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to tile full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gostro-Knteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows ‘tself under various forms, I um persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division. Is had and hurtful. It oucourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro scribe for a disease according to its name. Thera is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can ho relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, anil tire often traceable to thesamo cause.” The above is u great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would imprest on your miuds the folly of hunting up or troubling you self about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel oped, so as io bo properly named by the most seientitlc. This assertion 1” no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, uye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under u great variety of cir cumstances, seasons ami climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as discs may have be come developed belore the ” Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly os possible the proper course to bo pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ ltules” aud “ Synopsis” will lio amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Hides important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It Should bo give., ill three or four times its own quautity of water, ami may be sweetened or not at pleasure. ad. Patients must bo free from all currents of air, (though there should always ho free ventilation iu the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must he continued whenever the fever Buhsidos, or is evidently passiug off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such bo the case under nny circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patiouts must l>o left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or toko any exercise whatever, 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, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids slum! Ibo allowed, while giving it as plentifully, Hildas long as the patient desires and uo longer; they may cousist 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 experience 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 nml breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. ” over t and under 2 yean, “ 6to 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 80 “ “ & “ 10 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teupoonfhl is a common dose. Old perse ns do not require as much as young, or those iu the prime of life; nor females, us a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of ag, frequently having taken full 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. lly observing the above directions, ttie medicine will bo found agieeablo in all of its effects, tho expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perl'i tly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may tie obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Hiltons or Remittent Fever. Hive a teaspouful or “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes tbe whole treatment in till simple eases of lever, with such observances us are set forth iu the “ Rules.” But should there ho prominent local svmp t ms. or known local existing causes, they should he attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” Bee Synopsis. If in any ease the 1. wets are particularly constipated or routined, give a . .it hurtle (see auxiliaries) w ith the first portion : they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, aud 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, and even repeated in tvo hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits aud water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congcsilrc Fever. Hive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoonfhi. to he discontinued ns tlie fever subside).

The bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions o’ some hepatic should ho given occasionally, even though the bowels should he very loose. The patient should bo sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous driiiks-r-sucli as are in common use in such cases.— Where the skin Im very dry, sponging the surface us di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should housed during convalescence, iu all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung sir Winter Fever. Hive a tcaspoontul of the “Fluid” every two hours, witii a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boncset; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours. Tho boneset tea should be given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over tbe seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Knheolu and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and (Scarlet. Fever. As ul I of these ills 1 uses are attended with fever, which in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, tho treatment differs bun little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with Jever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will he but little eruption even in Hiuall pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that sinull pox, if treated ns 1 direct, will be cut short; attended with hut little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course, tin this 1 will stake not only my reputation, but u l that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “You may ahato the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may ho done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board ship. Fee the account appended. (live a tcnspuonfu! or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub sides—though one cr two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should Ire given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the th.out is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may bo used, and ihe surface bathed, us thought advisable. 1 none ruse, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were go much swollen that tho patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on ills tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, wln n ii was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till ull 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 F’iuid alone. — Used to wot tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle iu all such cases. Puerperal or CHildlieti Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid witii such readiness, us 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, as tiro Fluid will arrest it ill a short time. It should he re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection witii this subject, 1 cunuot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It ia to inform them of tilt* happy effect of the Fluid in many ofthoir trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains aud difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose aud retiring. Itestlessness, nervous irritability, or a cjld taken at adelicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one of tho 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 all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep liito opiates, hut : t 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 es possible, 1 give under this head goueial directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue aud control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may he or ought to l>e culled, it should ho giien 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 he nppropi late means, and these soliuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and io connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will t’>en be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub due tho fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. if the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in duo time, repeat tho dose: if attended witii diarrliuea, give something known to bo good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho “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, pel-imps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe tlie feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry amt hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics aud 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 he allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho “Fluid” at tho same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at tlie ease with which you can 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 what is used. 1 have lound no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of tho different urtides of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cathartics.— Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, suits, senna, any of tin roots or barks, and many pills, antihlllous, Ac.; anything known to l>o good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything know,, to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the ‘different schools’ lor this purpose, will answer when used in connection witii the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles thatglvo tone or strength, such as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone se: or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.— Such as 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 tlie best: ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry ill treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but tho Negative Electric Fluid is a hot'er “dia phoretic.” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative than known in the materia tnedica 1 shall not tax tho reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Packet lilp Due liras D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates’ Me, the undersigned, certify to the” following, viz— M e took passage on the packotship Duchess d’Orleans Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre.

The great variety ot symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution anil habits of tlie sufferers; but as tlie cause is tho same, they w ill all equally yield to a remedy that is competent hi overcome or remove that cuuse. lly the laws of Nature, every principle bus its opposite, and lor every disease, or cduse 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 animal and vegetable matter, or even newly clenred'lands, is tlie same in character and effect: is a poi son floating iu tlie atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. 11l accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites. there is in tlie preparation before us, offered to the public, Ttie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even iu the open uir. and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. T lie remedy is believed to ho entirely new, and un known to any tail the proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from it- 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, recording to tlie direc tions, ;> radical cure will he effected; 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 iu tlie system, it will immediately relieve ull the distressing symptoms of bil ions or ague discuses, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tbe accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other mode cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. Dy its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue tiieir respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tlie most valuable part of the year. Since tlie introduction of tlie CURE in every part of tlie United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of itH extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at tlie date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlie most candid minds, because all the resources of 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, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, ami when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may he 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 <Mf Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Gilt ire Harmlessness, Tlie lollowing certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ 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 tlie constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It ii 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 tlie 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 ono under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and tlie same cause, aud therefore all, both residents aud travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itseli in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tlie 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 antibilions 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 costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of tho antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —In certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,; and place them iu sleeping rooms; for the vapo- rising from tlie medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degieo commensurate with its expo sure, tho miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting ttie 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 Auoe Cere” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tlie medicine, (tho copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. Tiie reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by tlie proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, li. I, For sale in Columbus by K IVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1856. ly Druggists.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me.

In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We Rre not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the 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 has effected a cure. This proves the medi um; to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Eoonsboro, Ml. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, liichlaud 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 here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per manent benefit —a few days siuoo she got a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chili since. A young man also used the same Balsam somo time without relief until lie got a liottle 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, 1855. .1. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l 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 per fuel success. Respectfully yours, ’ W. 0. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who lias been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired mo to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. \Y. A.IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible info every town and village in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist. l)r. 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 he realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which 1 publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than lillany newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowliing Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CIIAKACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottlo 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 the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is n perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects ns 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 or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
