NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, I Prepared by N. W. Sent, M. 1). Reasons why it should be used iustead of any other treat ment in ull Kclirilo affections : Ist.—Economy of Time.—As only tme.-stve.nlh of tho ordinary time is required to effect a cure. 4<i.—Economy or Money. —As it cists but one dollur. 3rd. Economy of Feeling.--As it saves the suffering of n long sickness and the consequent treat ment; tne annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. 4th.—Economy of Thought.—As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. stlt.—Economy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever sulijoct to ho followed by chronic disease. Oth. —Economy of Life.—As the curu iHeffected before aud without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of u fatal termination. Other reasons might be added, lull these are deemed siifUcient to satisfy all classes and persons in nil condi tions of life. The above reasons are inure particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply witli equal force to oases which have been subject ed to or have heroine 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 realize that they had been really much sick, und very naturally conclude they were not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘-it was trifling —a little cold, Which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had noeflect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is Hucli, that thoughts not unlike the above billow (lie cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until tlio individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would have readiiy yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been lima successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will esses occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to reqntro particular attention, or though successiul in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the Irtluence of the “Fluid” passes oil', us the exciting cause in. j still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in men cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers in General’ On this subject I wish to bo fully understood. ISy the term “levers,'’ 1 comprehend ull febrile alfectious to wliicli tile human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut us they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions uud babits, 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 ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tiie skip, debility, Ac. To show tiiat i mu not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. On page 834, lie says:—“We hear continually, both in aud out of tiie profession, different species of lever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, bruin Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, ,vc. Ami systematic writ, ..t are to tiie full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, and so forth. Now, admitting lliat fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of ull 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 he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are of.cn traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the folly of limiting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and yuu will t>e well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to he 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 tlio sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstam.es, seasons und climates. Hear this in wind, and treat at once without regard to name, aud rest assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the ‘‘F’luid”is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, i will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to ho pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though tlio “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. liutes important to be observed ... all cases in using the Negative i Jectric Fluid. . Ist. It should be given In three or four times its own quantity of water, and umy be sweetened or not at pleasure. Ad. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always be free ventilation in tlio sick r00m,,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. fld. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing oft'; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such lie the case under nuy circumstances. 4th. When the lover begins to subside, patients must bo left perfectly quiet; free from nil excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take 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 loss interested, hut bo bit quid to all Intents and purposes. btli. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the putiout desires and 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. Btli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness alter the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they Should have u little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OK HOSES. For children of one year or under, from 1} to 8 drops. “ over l and under A years, “ 6to 15 “ •> “2 “ 6 “ IA to 30 “ “ “ & “ 10 “ AO to 60 “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teas|>oonful is a common dose. Old persona do not require as much tvs young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, us a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular cure necessary in giving it to children —those of tun years of age frequently having taken lull doses; hut I,s’ u little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, ns a general rule, childreu require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and not on accouuVuf any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. UiltoiiM or Remittent Fever. Uiye a fouspouful of “Fluid” (seo rule Ist) once in two hours, till tiie fever is evidently passing oil; this constitutes the whole treatment in till simple eases of fever, with such observances as ore set forth in the “Rules.” But should there be prmniucut local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they shoal'd be attended to at one.', and while giving the “Fluid.” 800 Synopsis. if ill any ease the b ‘eels are particularly constipated or confined, give a , it It attic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion; they must bo opened er the fever may rise again. Where tin fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient Is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousful may Ih> h ivou at first with advantage, aud even repented in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened, thus showing tlio medicine lius taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief aud aid tiie medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Hive two teaspoausful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes men full und soft, then only a tcu spuonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside*. As the bowels are generally coußned, and it is frequently very difficult to got medicine to operate in till* disease, no time should be lost to gel them open, give some active cathartic with the •• Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary till it operates: enemas (injections) may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the bands or flannel; also, cold applications to tho head. Quinine may be added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. Bee Synopsis. Riervoni Fever, Typhus, Ship anil Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a gcueral great depression, there is no practical use i:t separating them—at least so far as my treatment Is concerned. In theso low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required: still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will las necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should bo commenced—which may Immediately follow any other without detriment with a teaspoonful of •• Fluid” eery two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to bo continued ‘nee in six or eight hours till tiie fever entirely subsides In had cases, from three to five grains each of quinine, t and capsicum (Cayenne ;>epper) or some tonic arid stimu- [ lant (seo auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The bowels should he kept gontly open, and small portions , of Home ktyxtt tc should bo given oocttuionaily, even though the bowels shonld be very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing und mticilageuous drinks such as are in common use iu such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the sut lace as di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should ho used during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever, (five a teaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours, wit li a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or hall tlio quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, ut longer intervals, suy once in six or eight hours. The bOnesct tea should be given warm till tiro violent symptoms are ulinyed, or the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, V arioloid, Rubeola and Scarlu tiuai or .Small Pox, Varioloid, Mensleu, ami Scarlet .Fever. As all of these discuses are attended with fever, which iu fact is the most prominent symptom, tiie treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “ name,” whether it is one or tiie other, or neither, as they all commence with Je.ve.r, hut treat it at once; govern the lever and there will be no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small pox. Tiffs, to most minds, is anew idea, uud doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will be. cut short; attended with but little erup tion ; little or no jutting, uud that there is iui necessity of its i uniting its ordinary course. Oil this I will stake not only my reputation, but all that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He Says, Jiago 574: “ You may al :ito the force of the eruptive lever, and keeji down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tiie admission mat it may he done. 1 navo not only proven it may be, nut has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. .See tlio account appended. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of tlio case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlio Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—‘.hough one or two doses is generally suilicient; but it should be given and rejtoated suflicieutly to keep tiie fever under control. When tiie throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on tho ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swolleu that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tiie Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarmiug symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in übout twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— U sett to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle, in ull such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tlio mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and jier luaueut relief; no alurm need be entertained, us tiie Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases. Tho bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot retrain from making a few general remarks, which, If regarded by tiie ladies, will .-.avo them much pain und 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 be tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will he relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or a cold taken at udelieute time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient anti 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 tiie nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli and quiet the system so that one can sleeji naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. (Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much us possible, I give under this head general directions for all case*. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tiie condition culled lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name, it may be or ought to be called, it should he giveu 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. W hen such indications occur in any caso, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld bo given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, us 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 tlio fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fall to operate in due time, repeat tiie dose; if attended with diarrhtea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlio “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, perhaps, cloths wet ill cold Wilier, to tlio part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling apjdication, aud bathe the feet in hot water; if tho fever >s very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “ the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits aud water, either will afford great relief and aid tlio niedi- I cino In taking effect, after which there will bo lio trou file ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and 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 and vomiting, that must he allayed before auy medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good ; for this jmrpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tho prouiiuont symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crow n your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, aud then you will lie astonished at tho ease witli 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, l have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, aud many pills, autibilimis, Ac.; anything known to bo good tor such purposes. licpatics.—Anything known to act outlie liver particularly, portal circulation aud secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by tho different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tho “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—auother. blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may tako his choice and be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and hitter herbs. Bono sec or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho bow els. I.aitdamtm ami other jirejiarations of opium ure used: also, mauy mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. St Im it bint S. — Articles that raise or excite the system. CajisicHiu (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., lilt l essences are all more oi less stimulating. Theso are the otilv classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, lmt the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in the materia mrdica. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, dope tiding mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on tho Packet whip Duchess D’Orleaug. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: fit 1 , the undersigned, certify to the following, viz— Wo took passage on the packetshin Duchess and Orleans Cu.pt Hutton, then lying in ilte port of Havre.

The great variety oi'symptoms and forms of disease is owing principidly to difference in ago, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cuuve. By tiie laws of Nature, every principle lias rts ojqjosite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decoinpo sition of animal and vegetable matter, cr even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in tiie atmosphere, causing disease to nil who breathe it. in accordance with thoso unalterable laws governing the unerring ufhnity subsisting between op posites, tliere is in tiie preparation before us, offered to tlio public, THe Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the ojien air, and when token inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves heal th. The remedy is bolievod to be entirely new, and un known to any but tiie proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly chock tiie ague in jjersons who have suffered tor uny length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical euro will be effected ; the putieut contin uing tree 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 relieve all tlio distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, aud when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often followr the administration of other mode cines. The patient at ouee 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 class in the 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 tiie sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CUBE in every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources 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, havo been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, &c. The 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 sujjeraddcd to the poor sufferer’s first comjdaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful übout using any secret Fever aud 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. N ow, 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 Harnilessuess, Tho following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in tiie United States has beeu obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle : New York, Juno 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 either in it, nor have 1 found uny 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 tiie human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing tiie 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 and tiie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tiie timely use of tliis preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself iu a violent attack. Tako the 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 u Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often bo found uecessary to jtrecede tliis medi cine by a mild cathurtic or antibilious purgative. Tiie very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cieausu the Btomaeli and free tiie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or tiie operation of the antidote will lie seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—lu certain specified cases, pour tiie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) und place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tlio medicine, and also tho air wafted across, or circulated over tlio dregs of it, alter tlio liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, tiie miasmata or poison contained in tiie apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlio Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cere” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is tiie name of tiie medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and Imitations. The reliance for its success 19 entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

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. I can also say that a great many of uiy largest custo mers are those who a .. .ar 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 tho letters of which I publish su it immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove tiie fact of a greater suc cess and sale titan ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlxe Crowning Glory of tiie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, winch allows its free use as a preventive.
