NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, ‘ I'rt'iiurcd ly N. VV. Hrt, 31* l>. UwMons why it should be u.-,ed instead ot .my other treat ment iu ull Febrile affections: I at.— Economy- of Time.—Ah ouly one.-stce.nth of tho ordinary time is required to effect a corn. 2c1.--Ecou<nn y or Money. —Ah it c >sts but one dollar. 3rd.—Economy of Feelliifj.--As it eaves the suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of lung confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. ‘lth. — Economy of Thought. —As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. sth. — Economy of Health. —As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is tho fever subject to he followed by chronic disease. Oth. — Economy of Life.—As thecure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might lie ndduu, but these are deemed eutitcient to satisfy ull classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The ulkjvo reasons are inure particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut will apply with 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 first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual ami perma nent relief, tn all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize tlmt they had t.ecii really much sick, and very naturally conclude they rer > n >i attacked with fever, and if so, ‘ it was trilling u little cold, which gave alarm—it could havo been nothing of consequence—ft would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general impression cm the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case I. naturally as men think tit nil; and it is not until lie individual lias witnessed many c&sestimt heeanfnliy r* sli: • the truth; ami oven then lie may conclude them all v ry trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have le en i line successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must c xoeet that there will cases ocenr where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular atlentlnn. or though success ul in reducing the fever, it will again rise/ as the Influence of the “Fluid” passes .

It is to guard ug.uust disappointment in such cases that 1 have given ,iu,l frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers in Ucneral* Ou this subject 1 wish to lie fully understood. By the term “fi vers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, tlt yof course differ considerably ill their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all itro distinguished by the sumo general character istics —that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion f udvauco, 1 quote from the eelebrafed I’rof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work ou tho “ Princi plus and Practice of Physic” la a text book in many of our medical colleges, ami consequently ttamlarelauUun'itg. Ou page hiU, lie says :—“We hear couliuuall,', both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. lly the public, Typhus Fever, Urain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Uastro-Knteric, aud so forth. Now, admitting that lever shows itself under various forms, I am purr muled that the effect upon tho mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, ul ready too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can lie 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 great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress ou your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling youi self about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of tiny distiuctcharactor being devel oped, so as to be proiierly named by’ the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based ou closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of clr < umntuuceg, seasons aud climates, lieor tills in mind, aud treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon he freed from ail dread of linger ing aud dangerous fevers. But as eases me v have be er'Uo developed boforo the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe us briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued iu all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ Kules” and “ Synopsis” will la amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. ■ltules important to be observed in all cam in using the Negative Electric Fluid.

There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children —those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; hut for a little guide, I have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By o'.serving the above directions, the medicine w ill lie found agreeable in ull of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and noton account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances.

As all of these disease.-: are attended w itli fever, Which ill 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 nil Commence with fever, hut treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will he but little eruption even in small pox. Tliis, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will he regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make tile assertion, tiiat small pox, it treated us I direct, will be. cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity ot its running its ordinary course. Ihi this 1 will stake not ouly my reputation, lint n.l that 1 hold most dear; besides, on tiiissubject, 1 Imve good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “ Vou may abate the force of tiio eruptive lover, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the. jmstutes by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the uduussion that it may he done. 1 nave not ouly proven it may tee, but has been duiio in numerous eases that occurred ou board ship. Fee the account appended. Give a teaspoouful or more, according to the urgency of tiio ruse, with a uose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho Fluid once 111 two hours if necessary, until the leversuh siiles—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; hut it should ho given and repeated sufficiently to keep the lever under control. When tiio throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, und the mil face bathed, as thought advisable. in one case, on tho ship Duchessd’Orleans, tho tongue anil Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tho Fluid on ids tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in tcuspoonful doses every lunir, till all alarming symptoms disupiatarcd. Tho swelling us 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'cuses. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous aud alarming malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as tu seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of u teuspooul'ul. almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm uued he entertained, us the Fluid will arrest it in u short time. It should be re peated us long as tlie fever continues, as In other cases. Tile bowels of course should lie attended to. In connection with this subject, i cannot refrain from making a lew general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain und suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect ol tlie Fluid in many of their trials. Xu child-birth, Its relaxing aud soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to he appreciated.— I'ainfu! menstruation will he relieved at once by a com mon dusu and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or a cold taken at adelicate 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 tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous iih well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth anil quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally aud healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis, To avoid constant repetition, aud condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all oases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition railed lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may ho or ought to he called, it should bo given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cafinot he ex pected to control ull organic or local causes, which, w hen such exist, must he removed in older to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should he appropriate means, and those sohuld ho given while giving the “ Fluid,” and iu connection with it, wheu occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing lnoro general effect, liosides no unnecessary time will then he lost. As the‘, F’luid” alone will sub due tlie fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho first dusu, or soon after, aud should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diurrlnea, give something known to he 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 hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe the feet in liot water; it'the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water at nn agreeable temperature; “ the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tunica aud stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tlie patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must ho 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 lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary: in short, treat all tho 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, aud then you will he astonished at the ease with which you ciui control ull febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., ns physicians are usually particular about what is used. I have found no such necessity when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by all. I will name a lewof the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cathartics,—Articles that purge or operate on tho bowels, such as castor oil. suits, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilions, Ac.; anything known to be good forsuch purposes. Hrpntlcs.—Anything known to act ou tiio liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer wheu used iu conuection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu fluence. Ami one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tlie third, podophyllin—tho fourth, mandrake root, and so ou; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonies.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, risits and hitter herbs. Bone set or thorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho bowels. laudanum and other preparations of opium are used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have tlie effect. -re • > Stimulant s.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, liartsliom, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the ouly dosses necessa ry iu treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a hotter “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known In the materia medial. 1 shall not tux tho reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tiio results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that ou the Packetsliip Duchess D’CJrlenns. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz We took passage ou tlie packetsliip Duchess d'Orleaus, Capt llutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France, and bound for New York. She sailed on the yth of Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Scut, with anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it In a few hours, and curing in n very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of tho sufferers; hut ns the 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 bus its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or In other words u specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of uuiunil and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, Is the Same iu character und effect; is a poi son floating iu the atmosphere,causing diseasetoall who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posiles, there is in the preparation before us, offered to tho public, Tlie Nutural Antidote to Malaiia, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it ol'its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to ho entirely new, and un known to any hut tho proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly chock the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of lime, from olio day to twenty years, anil by Continuing its use, according to tlie direc tions, a radical euro will ho effected; the patient contin uing free from tlie complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use agaiu necessary. In its operation upon the poison in tiie 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 GeucralDebillly and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other rnede cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored ty perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, aud all laboring people may be using this arti cle ns a Preventive, And pursue tlioir respective avocations in perfect safety from ague oi bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tho most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of tlie CURE in every part of tlie United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to havo fully proved these assertions iu favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were mudo, at the dale of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the moot candid minds, because all ihc resources of science had been taxed iu vain to sulklo.. cgue or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, ull their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited topuisouous or destructive drugs, such us Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saliciuc, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, aud wheu such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, tlioir ;ks nous effects arc superudded to tiio poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fevei and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert they may bo taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known tiiat their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable ou account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire llarmlesaneu t The following certificate from on>- of the most celebrated chemists in tlie United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle : New York, June 11, 1855. “I havo made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine anil Strychnine, hut have not found a particle of cither in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tho constitution. “JAMES K. CIIILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn tact, then fore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tlie human family from malarious diseases, hut 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 he taken iu advance. This is owing to tho diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents aud 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 the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet mid habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often he found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilions purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tho stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that whore this is necessary, or there is eostiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution* —ln certain specified cases, pour tlie contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tlie air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it. after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, tiio miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. Tills mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie 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 tho glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tlie medicine, (the copyright of which is seemed) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits anil imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will he considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by the proprietor. JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, R. 1, For sale in Columbus by KI VEIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1850. ly Druggists.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —l have just sent an order to Ames & Halliday for another half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure. I thus sold like” Hot Cakes,” and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when I have heard us a case of Ague or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and told them to try it, and if it did not help them, they wore not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied, I had one case of Chill Fever where it run f< >ur days, hut the man camo to see mo on the sixth day well satisfied.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure iu 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 tli > different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal ‘..'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. Wishing yjur midicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day's paper will he found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ F’ever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm.

This proves the medi cine to he good, und wo take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fdlmu, Bomsbinro, itd. Se.pt. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Sir. J. A. Ehooes, —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 mouths without any per manent, benefit —a few days since she got a bottle of the Cura 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. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir —1 have been in tlie 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, ‘ TV. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. IL. Ga., Jan. 1, 1860. Y our Ague Cuve 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. IIAYLKS. 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 info every town and village iii tiio United States, Canadas, kc. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can ulso 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 bo noticed that the letters of which 1 publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the luctofa greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tl\e Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as :i preventive. Thus protected by using n bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child iu the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, liilious or Y ellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled lor quick aud permanent effects us a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
