Oth, — Economy of Lite. —As tbs cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might ho ndded, lint these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reason*arc more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply witli equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course *0 the nature of the case at the time it is lirst adininis le red. As tiiis remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons ‘su scarcely realize that they Intd been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli y wet s not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘-it was trifling —a little cold, winch gino alarm —it could have b ell nothing of consequence—lt would have passed off w ith out any tiling—that medicine had noeffect.” The general impression on the 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 the individual lias witnessed many cases that lie can fully realiso the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very lulling cases, which wounl huvo readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been tbus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must r xiii if f that there will cases occur wh -ro there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular ntlcution, or though success.ul in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the lpUiteuce of the “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. Ills to guard •gainst disappointment In such cases tliut I have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks uu Fevers In General* On this subject I wish lo be fully understood, ity the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which tile human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quife dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in tlieir development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same genera! character istics—that oi undue excitement in tiio circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, tense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show I bat I am uot wholly alone in tiu- opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated I'rof. T. Watson, ol King’s College, London, whose work rn the “ Princi pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently slandardautliority. On page Slid, lie says : —“Wo hear continually, Isith in and out of the profession, different species of fever po ke” of. ffy the pubhc. Typhus Fever, Drain Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to tin- full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uaatro-Eiiteric, mid so forth. Now, luimitting that fever sltows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all thin sub-division, is bad ami hurtful. It encourages a ilis|sisition, already too prevalent, to pro scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, tlist cau he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a greet, fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of bunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distinct character beiug devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but ou experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons uud climates, hear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be treed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. Hot 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 the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will bu amply sufficient for all those accustomed lo attendance upon the sic!.. Hutes important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d.

It must lie continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such bo the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the 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 ull 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 I -s Interested, but be left quiet to nil intents ami purposes. stli. Fluids should bo allowod, 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 them to speak of it, they should hav-i a little wiuo, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the fare and breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give iiumeUiate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as 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 in giving it to children— those of ton years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for u little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. I'y observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all es 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 tie obtained, and not ou account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. II ill on is or II <in it lent Fever.

If in any case 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.

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 genera! great depress! n, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as m.v treatment is concerned. In these low fevers when tully develo;ied, a little patience will he required • still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few and iva convalescence* 1 “ **** *° The treatment should be commenced—wldsh nmv immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonftal of “Fluid” every two hours, till the nnlse becomes fuller or larger tu volume, then to be continued mce in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In bad cases, from three to live grains each oi quinine and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The bowels should ho kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should he given occasionally, even though tile bowels should be very loose, ‘the patient should lie sustained by nourishing and mucilagi nous drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surlaco us di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases whicli have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typlxoltl Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever.

As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment dilb rs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to loarri the “ name,” whether it is one or the other, or wither, as they nil commence with fever, hut treat it at once; govern ‘liefever and there will he no trouble; then, will bo but little, eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, Is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless laildly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be cut short; ulLended with but littie crup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. Ou tl’U I will stake not only my reputation, but a 1 that 1 hold most dear; besides, “U this subject, I have good authority; that of I’rof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “You may abate tiie force of tiio eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. J nave not only proven it may be, but has been douo in numerous eases that occurred on issu'd ship, JSee tiio account appended. Hive a tcaspoouiul or more, according to the urgency of tiie case, wilit a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tiie Fluid once in two hours it necessary, until the lever sub sided—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; hut it should ho given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When tiie throat is affected, any of tiie ordinary gargles nmy bu used, aud tiie surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Huchesb d'Orleans, the tongue and fattens were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping the Fluid on Ills tongue, drop by drop, till be could swallow, when it was giveu ir teaspoontul doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tin- throat wits reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in a’.'out twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle, in all such cases. Puerperal *r Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a tcaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a siiort time. It should be re peated as long ns the fever continues, us in other cases. The bowels of course should he attended to. In connection wit,lt tiiis subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the indies, will save them much puin 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.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of tiie 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 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; lit nee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tiie treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for „ii cases. As tile Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under nil circumstances, without regard to the name it may he or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will titeu more readily net, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, l call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, givo a cathartic (sec auxili aries) witli the first dose, or soon after, aud should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tiie dose; if attended with diurrhma, givo something known to he good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tiie “ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition ; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; ir violent pain in t lie head, apply cold water, ico water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tiie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar nnd water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after wtiicti there will be no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonies ami 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 w ill remain on tiie stomach to do any good; lor 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 the prominent symptoms as you 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 with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know wliat is meant by cathartics. Ac., as physicians arc usually particular about what is usod. 1 huvo found un such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— t at liar tics.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to bo good for such purposes.

OR MIASMA, ri UIESE diseasesare common to many localities of the _L United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from tho saute miasmal cause. Tiie great variety ol symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of tiie sufferers; but as tiie cause is the same, they will ull equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lues 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, decent po sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the saute in character and effect; is a poi son floating in tiie atmosphere,causing disease toall who breathe it. In accordance witli those unalterable laws governing tho unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to tiie public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes tiio poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in tiie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to !t entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary res ilits from its use: it will instantly check tho afcue in persona who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical euro will ho 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 in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Alight Sweats, which so often follow the administration ol other mode cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. liy its use Fever and Ague may bo banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle us a Preventive, Alia |airsii". tlieir respect ive avocations in perfect safety from ague or liiliuus attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of tiie 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 wore made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tiie most candid minds, because ull ttie resources es 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 sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, tlieir puis nous effects .tie superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. Hn this account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tiie makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken witli perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that tlieir 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 uud Km ire Harmlessness, Tiie following certificate from on> of tho most celebrated chemists in tiio United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle: Nkw York, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ F’ever and Ague Curo, 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 the constitution. “JAMES K. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubtsirn 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 the taking of other medicines which do harm. Tiie 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 he taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an.l the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of tiiis preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in tlieir 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 liy a distinguished Physician long resident in u bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or autibllious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free tiie biliary passages. Remember that where tiiis is necessary, or there is eostiveness, it must re taken or the operation of tiie antidote will lie seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, anti place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tiie air waited across, or circulated over tho dregs of it. after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with Us expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. Tiiis mode of oxlubiting the Cure should likewise lie resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which tiiis medicine is put up have Hie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tiie glass, and ou tiie outside wrapper is the name of tiie medicine, (Hie copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions nro taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirelv upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:— l have just sent an order to Ames Sc Halliday for another half gross of your F'ever aud Ague Cure, it has sold like “ Hot Cakes,” uud I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when I have heard of a ease of Ague or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, and if it did not help them, they wore not obliged to pay for it, and they wefe all satisfied. I had one ease of Chill Fever where it run lour days, hut the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perform 34 Cures.

I give it to them at first, ‘if no cure no pay,’although I was not authorized liy you to do so; but I took the responsibility ou myself.— But not a bottle has come hack, and as I am almost out of the article 1 wish you would forward me one gross of the bottles, if you see proper to do so, und 1 will he punctual in payment.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, X take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Istbmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th ■ different remedies and treatment I adopted, my lieal tjgrew worse until 1 commenced the use of your F'ever and Ague Cure. — Since that time 1 have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur m ‘dicine the, success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. K. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” M'e are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the beuefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, aud we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Boonsborn, lid. 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. Ono young lady in tiie family of a clergyman here has been taking an “AGUE BALSAM” for some months without, any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got 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, 1555. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in tiie 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. 11., Oa., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Aguo Curo 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 mo to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. w. A. lIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will fiud it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town anil village in tiie United States, Canadas, &c. Tiie eminent chem ist. Dr. J. It. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect inuoeence. It is therefore optional with all toliavo the Fever nnd Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take tin- Curo on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not lie realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters of which 1 publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than lillnny newspaper, ami prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tiie Crowning Glory of the Cure is it, HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during tiie warm and sickly sea sons, not a mun 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 Hie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a jwrfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as It Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious disei, es, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
