It is to guard against disappointment tu *uen cases that I have given snd frequent iy refer to what I have called a “synopsia.” lit murk* ou Fevers iu General* On this subject I wish •be fully un lerstood. By the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fever*; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development und exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that o! undue excitement iu the 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 I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. W atson, if King's College, London, whose work on the ‘‘Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. Ou pige 834, he says;—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different iqiecies 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 the full us particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Enteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon llio mind of all this eub-divixiod, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease accoi ding to its name. There is no lino of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied ou. They run insensibly into each other, oven the most dissimilar of them, and aro often traceable to the same cause.” The above is u great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress ou your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yomself about a •‘name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will Ik well instead of any distinctcliaracter 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, hut on experience at the bed side of the sick, iu 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 as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by ueglpct, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendauco upon the sick. Buks important to Ik observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own quantity of water, ami may bo sweetened or not at pleasure. -d. Patients must bo free from all currents of air, (though there should always bo free ventilation iu the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its iu fiueuco, 3d. It must ho continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing oil'; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any* circumstances. •Ith. When the fever begins to subside, patients must lie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exorcise 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. sth. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long us the patient 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. Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast maybe bathed iu 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 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ l2 to 30 “ “ 5 lO “ “ 20 to 50 “ “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonfnl. All persous over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a tcaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require ns much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary iu giving it to children—-those often years of age frequently having taken full doses; hut for a little guide, I have given tire above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more t linn adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will tie found agreeable iu 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 lie obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Itcmlttnit Fever. Uive a tcasponl'ul of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) ouco in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oil'; this constitutes the whole treatment ill all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the “ Rules.” But should there bo prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causea, they should be attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsia. If iu any case the b w-els are particularly constipated or confined, give a .nhartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they m ist 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 influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsfiil may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegti’ u- spirits aud water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Uive two teaspoousful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and Bolt, then oulv u tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the lever subside) V. the bowels are generally confined, and It is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease no time should be lost to got them open, give some active’ cathartic with the *• Fluid” aud repeat as may lie neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may slso be 1 used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the “ Field’ if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever. Typhus, Ship and 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 u general great depression, there is no practical use In separating them—at least so fur as i luv treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will he required: still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the co mmon treatment, while with this hut a few days I renvlle.cem-e”' 4ry “* longe • , *° CSUbIUh “ Immanent I The treatment should be commenced—which muv immediately follow any other without detriment— with a teaspoonfu! of “ Unid” every two hours, till the pulse , fu ’® r . . or , lll 'B‘‘ r in volume, then to he continues! mce in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.

Rt-iiiouiber i never wait to learn the “ name.’ whether it is one or the | other, or ndther. as they all commence with .fever, hut I treat it a; once: govern the fiver and there will las no trouble; there will be btd Hide eruption even in small pox. This, tom, -t minds, is anew idea, aud doubtless will )>,-regarded w ith ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated us I 1 direct. , rill be cut short : attended w ith but little erup | tion; little or no pitting, and that there is wo necessity of i its running iu ordinary course. On this I will stake I not only my reputation, but a l that I hold most dear; * txwiiies. on this subject. 1 have good authority: that of j Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page. 874: 1 ••Von may abate the force of the eruptive fiver, and I keep down, tt is believed, the number <ythe pustules by ! spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may | he done. 1 nave not only proven it my be, but has fie, n done iu numerous cases that occurred ou 1-oard ship, bit* the account appended. dive a teaspoouful or more, according to the urgency of the cast*, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the l luiti once in two hours it necessary, until the fever sub— j fid-s—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should tie giveu and repeated sufficiently to keep the fox er under control. When tlie throat is affected, any cif the ordinary gargles may lie used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchessd'Orleaus. the tongue aud laucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, aud he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when ii was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all 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 Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. Uuerpcral or Childbed Fever. Tin. heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the No ativ * Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoouful. almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tlie Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated us long as the fiver continues, as iu other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. 1 u 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 tlioir trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the 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 iritubility 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 one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much a3 possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tho condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho name it limy he or ought to bo called, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur iu any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohu) 1 be 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 the fever, I 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 tail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter heros, or, perhaps, 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 feet in hot water; if the fever is verv high, skin dry aud hot, with great suffering, sponge ‘or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tin* saline wash,” Tinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ;if the patient has been rwio..a n niocti prostra te.*, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in 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 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 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 prominent symptoms as y ou would under any other circumstances, 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 w ith which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. 1 .it ties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. X have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to he tally understood by all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— t at liuitlc*. Articles that purge or operate on tho bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; unything known to be goodforsuch purposes. Hepatlea.—Anything known to act outlie liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tlio articles depended on by the different schools’ lor this purpose, will answer when used iu connection with \ho “Fluid” or wliilo the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass - the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, und so on: each mn.v take his choice and be suc cess l ul. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone se: ui thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers Antringents.—Such a* check tie* action of the “°"o!s. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulants. Articles that ntio or excite the sy stem. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are ail more to less stimulating. These are the only* classes necessa ty iti treating levers, though many others are gencrullv used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic.*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “ sedative than known in the materia mtdioa. I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs dope tiding mainly on tho results of a trial, and will’ only refer to one Instance of success, that on the Packetatelfi Dncheas D’Orlcam*. which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates - We. the undersigned, certify to the’ following viz— ” ” took passage on the pucketship Duchess d’Orleans tapt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au gust, IS,I, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostlv emigrants.

OH MIASIVLA.. ‘1 ‘ll t.M. diseasesare common to many localities ol’ the I X Xuit.il States; but wherever they prevail, North, South. Last or West, they ail equally spring from the same miaamal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms ot disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex. constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they w ill all equally yield to a remedy Unit is competent to overcome or remove that cause. lty the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, 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, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating iu the atmosphere, eausiug disease to all w ho breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites. there is iu the preparation before us, offered to the public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes iu con tact with it. even in the open air, aud when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. Tlie remedy is believed to be entirely now*, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from its use: It w ill instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered lor any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use. according to the direc tions. a radical cure will lie 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 tho poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, aud w hen the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of lU'ueral Debility and Niglit Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, aud continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use F’ever aud 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, Aud pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at tho date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and whatwras still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, &c. The effects of these are sometimes worse than tlie disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its pow-er to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the 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 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 the 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 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 J the same cause, and therefore all, both 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 < the stomach and tv.- the notary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriou-ly ob structed. Ottly Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place then, in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after tho liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degree 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 situations. Tlie bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and on tho outside wrapper is tlie name of tho 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 is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the fcenefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmu of Panama, several months since, and in spite of tli • different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal l . grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health.

This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonshoro, Ml. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few (lays since slie got a bottle of tlie Cure and lias not bad a cliill since. A young man alsn used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got abottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes— Dear Sir-—I have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. K., Ga., Jan. 1, ISoti. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I 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 tow n and village in the United States, Canadas, he. 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, jnst 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 he noticed that the letters of which I publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use ns a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons. not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from 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 l>y Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
