NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, | Prepared by N. \V. Heal, M. D. Reasons why it hould bo used instead of any otlier treat ment In all Febrile affections: 1 at.--Kconomy of Time.—As only one-seventh of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. Mil. -.- Kconomy of Money. —As It costs hut one dollar. 3rd.—Economy of Feeling.—As it saves the suffering of a long Sickness and the consequent treat ment; tic unnoyance of taking nauseating doses of modiclno, their disagrecablo operation, and the pain of loug confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. Ith.—Kconomy of Thought.—As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present i existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. ffth.—Kconomy of Health. —As the system is not redneed, and consequently racked; nor is the lever subject to he followed by chronic disease. Oth.—Kconomy of Life.—As the cure isoffected before and without reducing tho patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all lunger of a latal termination. Other reasons might l>e added, but these are deemed sutflclen: ’osatislyall classes and persons in all condi tions of t,.e. The above reasons are more particularly applicable) to the immediate treatment on the iirst attack, hut 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 the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when need soon after the attack, persons can ■ ‘ercely realize that they hod been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they were not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘fit was trifling —r ‘ittle cold, whicli gave alarm—it could have been Homing of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine hod noeffect.” The general impression on tiie subject of fever is such, that thoughts uot unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until tiie individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully realize the truth; and even then lie may conclude them all very trifling c.,->es, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they huvo hern thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must .Apcct that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so “rent as to require particular attention, or though succcsslu! in reducing tiie fever, it will again rise as the influence of tiie “ Fluid” passes oft, as the exciting cuasu may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment >n suen cases that l have given and frequently rotor to what X have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks uis Fevers lu General* On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Ily tho term “levers,” I comprehend ull febrile affections to which tho human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and In ulte dissimilar constitutions ami habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; vet all are distinguished by tho same general character istic*—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 skin, debility, &c. To show that I am not wholly alone ■: the opinion I advance, I quote from tho celebrated l’rof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the “ Print", pies and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Hy tiie public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (Bistro-Enteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever hliowh itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tiie mind of ail Oils sub-division, is had and hurtful. It encou o es a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no liue of genuine distin.tiou between continued fevers, that can lie reliod on. They run insensibly into each otbei on the most dissimilar cl them, and are often traceable to the Bame cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your mindß tiie folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ nameif you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel oped, so as to be properly ...uued by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of uiiud, but on experience at tiie bed side of tho sick, iii hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (hy 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 be 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 neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible tiie proper course to bo pursued in all ol ! he most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies” and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for nil those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Rules important to be 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, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. --* Patients must he tree from all currents of air, (though there should always be free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must be continued whenever tiie fever subsides, or is evidently passing otf; to be resumed when it begins to riso again, should such he the case under any circumstances. 4th. When Hie fever begins to subside, patients must bo leit perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should uot he questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever till their own natural feedings, independent of nil extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should auy conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, hut lie left quiel to all intents and purposes. 3tli. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desire Hand no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonado, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. tith. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so ns to occasion a rest!, eiicss after the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, liartshora, lemonade witli a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the faco and breast may lie 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 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ l2 to 30 “ “ “ 6 “ 10 “ 2O to 50 “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered ns adults, for whom ateaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require . much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no i<articular care necessary in giving it to children—those often years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have giveu tiie above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing tiie above directions, tho medicine will bo found agreeable in all of its, Sects, 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 he obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent > ever. tlive a teaspenful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two in r, till the fever is evidently passing off; this oonstltuios the whole treatment in all simple case* of fever, with such observances as are set forth in tho “ ltules.” But should there he prominent I >cal symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should he attended to at once, and while giving tin “Fluid.” See Syuopsis. If in any chsb the bowels are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse ruuulng 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated m by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may bo given at first with advantage, and even re|>ented in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at ati agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water. In these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoonful, to bo discontinued as the fever subsidei As the bowefe are generally confined, ami it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease no time should lie lost to get them open, give some activ,,’ cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may be neceii. sary till It operates; enemas (injections! in'av also be used to advantage: also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold th ® ,I <' R d. Quinine may be added to tho “ Field if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Tvphna, Ship and Putrid or Bponed Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly lu degree, being all of a low grade, the mis? small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them-at least eo far *1 mv treatment is concerned. In these low severe wh™ fully developed a little patience will t„, required stMI comparatively little, ss they frequentlv . ..., w“! ks ,’, ‘r the common treatment, while with this hut a few davs at lonsvtt to in bail cases, from three to five grains each of ipsinint and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or Home tonic and stimu lant (se t auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The bowels should he kept gently open, and stuull portions of some hepalv; should lie g'Vou occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should he sustained iiy nourishing and miicilagenous drinks—such as are in common uso in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious lever, will he found advantageous. Tonics should he used during convalescence, in all cases whicli hare liecome reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Given teaspoonful of tiie “ Fluid” every two hours, witli a wine-glassful of as strong decoction of boueoet; or half the quantity may bo given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say ouce in six or eight hours. The honeset tea should he giveu warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to he applied over tho seat of paiig; keep tiie bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scurla tlna; or Bmall Pox, Varioloid, Measles, anil Scarlet Fever. As ull of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, tiie treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember nuver wait to learn the “ name ,” whether it is one or the otlier, or neither, us they all commence with J'ever, hut treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no trouble; there will he but little, eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and 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 witli hut little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there i no necessity of its running Its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, but ail that L hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Frol'. Wiitsou, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “ You may abate tiie force of the eruptive fever, uml keep down, it is believed, tiie number of the pustules by spline purges, &c.” Here is the admission timl it may lie done. 1 nave not only proven it may be., but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship, tjeo tiie account appended. Uive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of tiie case, witli a dose ol salts or castor oil; repeat tiie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the -hip Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that tiie patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop hy drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat wcl reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tiie best gargle, in all such Cases. Puerperal or Cliildlted Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to whicli the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as tiie Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re peated as long as the fever continues, us iu other cases. The bowels of course should )>e attended to. lu connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded hy the ladies, will savo them mncli 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 be tried to be appreciated.— I’ainful menstruation will be relieved at ouce by a com mon dose and retiring. Bestlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken ut a delicate time, is easily relieved hy its use; iu 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 exciiubility and iritability'of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will Booth ami quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; bonce its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tho treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho name it may he or ought to he called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When sucli indications occur in any case, they should he appropriate means, and those soliuld ho given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then ho lost As the ,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If tire bowels are costive, givo a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tiie dose; if attended with diurrliuca, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tiie “ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local paiu or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, 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 butlie the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or butlie the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tile saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tiie medi cine in taking effect, after which there will ho no trou ble; if tho patient has been rodnonS 1. ......n prostra te,!, eiii” tonies nun stimulants, particularly iu low fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tiie patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie 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 tiie stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necossary ; iu short, treat ull the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at tiie 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 tiie ease with which you can control all febrile excitement.

Antidote to Malaria ; FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and other intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Fytup tuus; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night Sweats, and all other forms of disease WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN MAI.AXIIA OR. MIASMA. rj-MIESE diseases arc common to many localities of tho X United Mates; hut wherever they prevail, North, huutli, Fast or West, they all equally spring from the same uiiusuial cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age, sex, constitution and hubils of the sufferers; hut ns the cause is the same, they will all equally j leld to a remedy that is couipeteut to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias 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 in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe il. lu accordance with those unalterable laws governing tho unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, tiiere is iu the preparation before us, offered to the public, The Natural Antidote (o Malai-ia, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in tho open air,'and whea 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 tie entirely new, and un known to any hut tiie proprietor, who distinctly claims tho following extraordinary results front its use: It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from oue day to twenty years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a 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 tho system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tho disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow tiie administration of other mede cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perieet health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; fanners, me chanics, and nil laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, Anil pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during Hie sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the ■year. Since the introduction of tho CUBE in every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favorofits 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 of science had been taxed iu vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all tlieir remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, galieine, &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 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 Retnody is not only* valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, bat that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because ofits Singular and Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in tiie United States has been 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 I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tiie 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, hut to do an equally good work hy preventing tho 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 ns the oue under consideration, if the medicine he token in advance. This is owing to tho diseases being produced hy one an.l the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely uso of this preventive, and not wait for tiie poison already lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poisop 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 hy a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tiie object of whicli is to cleans.. tim stomach and .free '•” MUtti-jr passages. Remember that where tltis is necessary*, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will ho geriou-ly ob structed. Only Cant ion.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms ; for the vapor rising from tho medicine, and also tho air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after tiie liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degteo commensurate with its expo sure, tb,e miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mudo of exhibiting the Cure should likewise he resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. Tho bottles in which this medicine is put up hr-.**e the words, “Rhodes’ lever and Acute Cure” blown it. the glass, and on tho outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tiie copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tho proprietor. These precautions aro taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance tor its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. Tlieso will he considered sufficient. Prepared and sold hy* the proprielor, JAMES A. RHODES. Providence, K. TANARUS, F'or sale in Columbus by KIVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1850. ly Druggists.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—f 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 days since she got a bottle of the Cure ana Ims not had a cliill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle .f your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Your.: truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

If any body desires further evidences, they will find it iu every botlleof tho CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly iis possible info every town and village in the United states, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. K. Chill on, 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 tho Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not bo realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dutps—altogether they would more than till any ucwsjiaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than over attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of the Clue is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its tree use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tho 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, oranv form of disease arising from tiie atmospheric poison Mnlitiia, to wliieli the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick uiul permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all vhose constitutions have been shuttered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and tie* liility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
