NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared by 31. W. Seal, M. U. Reasons why it should bo used instead of any oilier treat mont in ull F'ebrile affections: Hl.—Utniiomy of Time. —Ah only one-seventh of the ordinary time in requir-sl Ui effect a euro. Krouumy of Money. —Ah it r .slh but uno dollar. ■lrl.—Kroaom) of Feci I uy.~ As it saves the suilering of a lona sickness and the consequent treat mout; tlio annoyance of taking nauseating done* of modicino, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of lona confinement; but little of tho fluid being necessary, and thal pleasant in its effects. 4th.—Gronomy of TliouKbt* —As when known, it will remove ull dread and anxiety at proHont exist]uk. respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is Hick. 9t11.-Bcouomy of Health. —Ah the system in not reduced, uod consequently racked; nor is the lever subject to bo followed by chronic disease. Ash.—Economy of Life.—Ah tho euro is effected before and without reducing tho patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all dangerof a fatal termination. Other reasoiiH might be added, hut those are deemed sufficient to satisfy all cluhhoh and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons ar • more particularly applicahlo In tho immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply with ennui force to cases which have been subject ed to or tiave become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and permit nent relief, in all ordinary eases, w hen used toon idler the attack, jierHon- ran scarcely realize that they hud been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli y were not attacked with fever, mid if so, “it was trilling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed oil’ with out anything—that medicine had noetfect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is sueh, timt thoughts not unlike the above follow tin* 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 realise the truth; and even then lie limy conclude them ull very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they havo 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 success!ill in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the inlluenre of the “Fluid” passes ell, us tile exciting cause muy still exist. Ills to guard against disappointment in such oiises that I have given and frequently refer to what 1 have railed a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers in (leiieral- Un this subject I wish to tie fully understood, liy the term “fevers.” I comprehend all febrile iitleelions to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and Other urilplim fevers, >.i,l h* ,L.. a y „ri*.. Jay, .. variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar , (institutions und ImldtH, they of course differ considerably ill their development mid exhibit it 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 iimintiirui fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone In the opinion i advance, i quote from tile celebrated I'rof. T. Watson, of King's College, Loudon, whose work on the “ I’rinei pies and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard uuthorily. On page 8,'14, he says:—“We hear continually, troth in and out ol the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By l lm public. Typhus Fever, drain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ar. Ami systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, <lastro-i'lnieric, and so forth. Now', admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tho mind of all this sub-division, is had 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 rim be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance und I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be. well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by tho most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and 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 ns cases may have be come developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper i onise to he pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though thu“ Rules” ami “Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Hules important to be observed in all cases in using the Nepal ire Electric Fluid. Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must he live from all auneots of mi, (though there should always tie free ventilation in tho siek room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing oil'; to he resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the ease under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to sub ide, patients must he left perfectly quiet; Itiv from nil excitement; should not ho questioned as to tluur wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of ull extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation ho allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. A tli. Fluids should he allowed, while giving it us plentifully, and us long as the patient desires and no longer; they muy consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. 6th. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness w hile in the lying posture, so its to occasion a restlessness after the fever tins passed otV, 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 fare and breast muy be bathed in eold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered us adults, lor whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much its young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is iio particular cure necessary in giving it to children—those often years of age frequently having taken full doses: Imt for a little guide, I have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proporlion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will tie found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object In being thus particular is, that the full benefit of tho medicine may he obtained, mid not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Union, or Hem It I cut Fever, (live a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oil ; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases us lever, with such observances as are set forth in the “Itules.” But should there be prominent local sytnp toms, or known local existing causes, they should he attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis.

The bowels should he kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should he given occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should ho sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous drinks—such as are in common use iu 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, iu all cases which have hi i ■me reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, L,ung or Winter Fever.

Variola, Varioloid, lliihtoln and Scarla sln it; or Siuidl Pox, Varioloid, Measles, J and Scarlet Fever. As all of these discuses are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember I never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the ’ other, or neither, ns they all cotnmencn with freer, hut | treat it at once; govern the lever and there will be no i trouble; there will be hut Little eruption even iu small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless I will bo regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless | boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as | I direct, null he cut nhnrt ; attended with hut little erup tion ; little or no pitting;, and that there is in) neec.e aty of its running its ordiuury course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, Imt all that i hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 574: •• Vou may abate the force of tlie eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the. piuttutm by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may he done. I nave not only proven it ‘may be, but lias been done in numerous cases that occurred on hoard ship. ,See the account appended. (live a tcaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose ol salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep the liver under control. W hen the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may ho used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, oil the ship Duchessd’Orleaus, the tongue and lauc.us 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 tcaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of Ine I liroal was reduced so its 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 bedyaryle iu all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative tiled.ric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of littlo consequence. Asingledo.se or two of a tcaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re peated ns long as the lever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should he 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 pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must ho tried to be appreciated.— I’ainliil menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of ttie most convenient and effectual remedies formally of the ills of females, if not tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of tlio nervous as well as the circulatory. Jt will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use iu so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all 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 he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pencil to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should ho appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then he lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie tirst dose, or soon after, anil should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended nn iiiiu rmen, give suiiirriifug Known to ho good tor that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition ; if severe local pain oi- inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or. pei lmps, 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, and bathe the lectin hot water; if tlio fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water at an agreeatile temperature: “ tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tlio medi cine in taking effect, after which there will lie no trou ble : if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine w ill remain on the stomach to dually good ; tor this purpose 1 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 us 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 you will he astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may teel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to he fully understood l>y all, t will name a lew of the different ariicles of medi cine I have referred to, viz;— I 'Hi bar ties.— Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, sncli as castor oil, suits, senna, any of the roots ol- harks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to be goodforsuch purposes. Ilcpat ics.—Anything known to act on tlie liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any oft he articles depended on by the different schools’ for this purpose, will answer when used in connection wiih tlie “Fluid” or while tlie system is under its in lluciuv. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass-the third, podopbylliu—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each limy take his choice and be suc cessful.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is tlio same, they will ail equally yield to a remedy Unit is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By tin; 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 a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, iritagn ant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or qyen newly cleared lands, Is the same in eharacter 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, there is in the preparation before us, offered to till’ public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the [loison whenever it conics in Con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies 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 uuy but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered tor any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will he effected; the patient contin uing free from tile complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon tlio poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is dll red, it will entirely prevent the accession of Gtiicial Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other liieile cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and elans in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, Ami 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 tlie introduction of the CUKirin 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. Win n these declarations were made, at tlie date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tho most candid minds, because all .lie resources of science hail been taxed iu vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salieine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such comedies fail, or give only temporary relief, tlieir poisonous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. (in this account ague sufferers should ho particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwitlistauding 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 WortUy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States Ims been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle : New York, June 11, 1555. “I 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 cither in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It i- a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve llie human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. Tho 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 ns the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken iu advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and (lie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use of tli is preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tlie Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tlie poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and liahits 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 nntibilious purgative. Tlie very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlio stomach auti 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 he seriously ob structed. Only Cant ion. —ln certain specified eases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in Bleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over tlio dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a dcgiee commensurate with its expo sure,the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise ho resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Auue Cure” blown in tho glass, and on the outside wrapper is tho name of tho medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tlio signature of the proprietor. These preenutions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual MERITS, wherever introduced and used.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but worthy woman, who has not been fre efrom Fever und Ague a mouth at a time for tlie last twelve years, 1 sup plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure. She took in all four bottles which completely re stored her to health and strength, and as four months have now elapsed, there is no reasontodoulit the perma nency of the cure. C. A. P.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir; —1 have just sent au order to Ames & Halllday for another half gross of your Feveraud Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,” and 1 have only two bottles oil hand. One reason it has sold, is because when 1 have heard of u case of Ague or Chill Fever, 1 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, and they were all satisfied. I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN V. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perform 34- Cures.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, T take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of tli . different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal ; . grew worse until 1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. — Fince 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.

This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, lioomboro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from u 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 tlie 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 Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure, ho far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticeilo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been iu 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. H. It., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, ami given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who lias been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all 1 can in its sale. W. 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 into every town and village in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist, l)r. J. It. Chilton, ot New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not. just us they please. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago wore 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 ■ u -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 everatteuded any other Ague Remedy. Tlie C row lit nfjG lory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its tree use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a mail woman or child ill 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 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 or any kind id intemperance or dissipation.
