The above reasons ar more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment oil the first attack, hut will apply with e 111 al force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding id course *0 the nature of tbo case at the time it is iirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, lu all ordinary coses, wlien used soon after tho attack, persons can scarcely realize ttiat ttiey had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y won not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling a little cold, which gave alarm it could have been nothing of censequence —it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine hod nucffect.” The general iinpruHsiou on the subject of fever is such, that thought* not unlike'he above follow tin* cure of a common case ns naturally as men (lie individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully realize tho truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medieine, jet persons, though they have ! ■ on ihiis successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must aspect that thole will eases occtir wle re there is some organic or local cause so great as to r. quire particular attention, or though success ul in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist, It is to guard against disappointment 111 such cases that i have given and frequently refer to a hat I have culled a “synopsis.” Krmtrks ou F vers in General’ On this subject I wisli to be fully understood. Ity tho term “fever*,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox und other eruptive fever*; but as they arise by a great vuriety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety id’ forms or types; yet all are distinguished by tho same general character istic*—tiiat ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous system*—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in tho pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from the celebrafed I’rof. T. Watson, of King's College, Loudon, whose work on the •• I’rinci pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently sUindurdauthorily On page 834, ho says:—“ Wo hear continually, both in uiul out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, Plain Fever, liiiious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, * Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adyumuie, Uastro-Knleric, 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 Imd and hurtful. II encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe tor a disease according to its name.. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can bo relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, und are often traceable to the same cause.” Tho above is a great fact, one worthy <>f remembrance aud l w ould impress on your uiiuds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat It at once ns hereafter directed, and you will he. well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based ou closet specula tions or visions of mind, but ou experience at the bed side of tile sick, 111 hundreds, aye, thousands ul eases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to mime, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers, llut as cases may liuve be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible tire proper course to be pursued in all of tile most prominent fevers, though tin, *• itules” and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for nil tim e accustomed tc attendance upon tho sick.

It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off'; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any circumstance*. 4th. When tile fever begins to subside, patients must be 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 exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of nil extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation lie allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to alt intents and purposes. sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as 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 thorn to speak of it, they aliould have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, .1 some other stimulant; or the fuce and breast nmy be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children —those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but ibr a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with tho remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. Ily observing tire above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its efforts, the expectations of the most sanguine realised, 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.

Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina* or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will he hut 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, Mint small pox, it treated as I direct, wM be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. 011 this 1 will stake not only my reputation, but ail that I hold most dear, besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Wat on, previously quoted. ilc says, page 874: “You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Hero is Mie admission tiuit it may lie done, i nave not only proven it may he, tint has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship, taco tlie account appended.

When tlie tlirout is affected, any of tlie ordinary gargles may bo used, and the surface battled, as thought advisable. ill one exse, on the ship Duchess d’Orlcans, the tongue and Caucus wore so much swollen that tlie patient could not swallow or speak, aud he was cured by dropping tlie Fluid on Ids tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, wlien ii was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in übout twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone. — Used to wet tlie tlirout frequently, it is doubtless tlie best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tile mother is liable, will yield to tlie Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tho Fluid will arrest it in a short lime, il should be re peated as long as tlie fever continues, as in other,cases. Tlie bowels of course should lie attended to. In connection witii this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded I>y the ladies, will save them much pain und suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of llieir trials, iu child-birth, its relaxing anil soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie trieil to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com mon dose aud retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not tlie most so of any medicine known, its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous hh well as the circulatory. It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment us much as possible, 1 give under this bend general directions for nil cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid will change tlie condition called tever, or subdue and control it under ail circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should he appropriate menus, and these sohuid 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 be lost As tlie Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. if the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended witli diarrhoea, givo something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of tatter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tlie part; if violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe tlie feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie Whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi cine in taking effect, after which there will tie no trou ble ; if tlie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted. give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or wlien indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomitiug.

Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of tho different articles of medi cine 1 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, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on tho liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different sell,nils tor this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fllienee.

Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, mils aud bitter herbs. Bone* sc: or tlioroughwort is one of the best used iu fevers. Astringents.—Such as check the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have tlio effect. Stimulants.

MI2VSM2V. t piIKSK diseases are common to many localities ot the JL United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, bast or West, they all equally spring worn the same iiiiasniul eause. The ureat variety ot sy mptonis and forms of disease is owing p.iucipally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; but as tlie cause is the tame, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cau.,e. By the laws of Nature, every principle has 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, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal aud vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tho Batue in character and effect; is a poi son flouting in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. • tccordanee with those unalterable laws governing . unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, thei. n tlie preparation before us, offered to tlie public, Tlie . cal Antidote to Maluria, which neuli. ■ * -he poison whenever it comes iu con tact with it. • .1 the open air, and when taken inter nally rumple ty purifies the system affected by it ol its baneful influence, und thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un known to any nut tho proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from its use : It will iiiniuiitly check the ague iu persons who have suffered fur any length of time, from one day to twenty years, anil 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 niuk- its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison in Hie system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, aud wlien tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tlie ucce.-siuu of General Debility- und Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other mode cincs. 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 lamily and class iu tho community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventix-c, And pursue tlieir respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of tlie CURE 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. Wlien these declarations wore made at the date of its introduct.n, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlie 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, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometime.- worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their puis nous effects are superadded to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tho maker* ol 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 power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Uarmlcssness, The following certificate from on of tlie most celebrated chemists in tlie United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle: \lw 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 ll'ound any substance in its composition Mint w ould prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn foci, then tore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to and- an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. Tlie entire absence of any baneful ingredient make-s this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed u the one under consideration, if the medicine bo taken in advance. This is ow ing to the diseases being produced by oue and tlie 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 iu their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take 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 iu a liiiious 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 tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleans the stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must betaken or the operation of the antidote will he seriou.ly ob structed. Only Caution. —lll certain specified cases, pour tlie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in sleeping rooms; for tho vapor rising from tlie medicine, aud also tlie air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract auil destroy, to a deg. ce commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie Core should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles iu whicli this medicine is put up have tlie words, “Kitonxs’ Fever ami A cue Cure'’ blown in the glass, and on tlie outside wrapper is tlio name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is. secured) and tlio signature of the proprietor. These precautions aro taken to prevent counterfeits ami imitations. The reliance for its sitofss is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will he considered sufficient.

Sin- took in all four bottles which completely re stored her to heattli and strength, and as four months have now elapsed, there is 110 reason to doubt the perma nency of tlie cure. C. A. P. MASOF, Apothecary. TO Bottles Perforin TO Cures. Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1855. James A. Rhodes, Esq.—-Dear Sir:—l have just sent an order to Ames A llalliday for another half gross of your Feverand Ague Cure, ft lias sold like “ Uot (dikes,” and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, und if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had oue case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN I*. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perform 24 Cures. Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—The box of “ Ague Cure” you sent us has all been sold und created a large demand for more; to meet which we have ordered from your genera! agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington. Its sale will only be equalled by tho number of Fever and Ague cases. Hoping these cases may be few, yet have a bottle for every case. YYe remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS & ALLEN. 19 Bottles Pel-form 19 Cures. LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER. Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Y'our medicine has met with the most favorable success in this neighborhood. 1 have about five bottles left. 1 give it to them at first, ‘if no cure no pay,’ although I was not authorized by you to do so; but l took the responsibility ou myself.— Rut not a bottle has oome back, and as I am almost out of the article I wish you would forward me one gross of the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and 1 will be punctual in payment.

Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855. Dit. J. A. Rhodes— Dear Sir—Your Cure for the Fever and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It lias not failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATIIROP A MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I 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 th - different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal 1 j grew ivorse until 1 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. Wishing y jur m nlicine the success that it inerts, I remain truly yours, TIIGMAS G. ANDREYYS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever nnd Ague Cure.” YY'e are not ia the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Shnrpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that 110 sold several dozen bottles, and iu every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Boimsbaro, Nd. 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 days since she got a battle 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. So far it works like a charm. Y'ours truly. Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticbllo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been ill 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. R,. Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. 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.HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced OS’ rapidly as possible inlo every town and village in the United State*, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It ia therefore optional with all to have tho 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 ngo were reluctant even to take the Cure on cointtiission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish sn li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater ?tu cest-. and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The f i-(miiingt.'lory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Titus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sicklv sea sons, not. u man woman or child iu the United States would ever luive a single attack of Fever and Ague Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects a; a Restorative, giving new life and strength to nil whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened l>v “(jp® or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor nnd de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
