NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared by Si. W. Rent, M. D. Reasons wliy it should be need instead of any other treat meat in all Febrile affections: lat—Econoiny of Time.—As only one Mptal/i of the ordinary time in required Vo effect a cure. Z<|.—Economy of Money.—As it rosts but one dollar. 3rd. —Economy of Feellng.Aii it saves the suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, ami the pain of long confinement; but little of the fluid Ijoingnocessary, ami that pleasant iu its offects. Ith. —Economy of Thought.—As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existiug, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. Ath.—Economy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to he followed by clirouic disease. oth. —Economy of Life.—As tlie cure is effected before anil without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might Ih> added, Imt these are deemed sufficient to satisfy ail classes and persons Iu all condi tions of life. Tbo above reasons are more particularly applicable to file immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, ‘• irrcspondiug of course *.o tile nature of the case lit the time it is (list adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma neat relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realise that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y wer.i not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general Impression on the subject of fever is such, that i noughts not unlike tile afiove follow tin* cure of a common case as naturally as meu think at all; and it is not until the individual has witnessed many eases that lie can fully realise the truth; and even then lie may conclude them all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they iiuve been thus successful ill perhaps hundred* of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great iih to require particular attention, or thougii success ul iu reducing the fever, it will aguin rise as the influence of the “ Hui f” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in sum cue* that 1 have given and frequently refer to wlml 1 Imre called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fever* In General* t)n tills subject I wish to be fully understood, fly the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which tho human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; imt us they arise by a great variety of causi o, and in quite dissimilar coustUntions and habits, they of course differ considerably iu their development and exhibit a isriety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by tho same general character istic*—that ol undue excitement in tliu circulatory anti nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from tho celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, l.oinlon, whose work on the “ Print! pies and Practice of Physio” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently stu ndard authority. On pogc 834, lie says : —“ We hour continually, both iu and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By till) public, Typhus l ever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, I.ow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Knteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, i am persuaded that the effect upon the mind ol all this sul nil vision, is bad and hurtful, it encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, ami are often traooable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling youiself about a •'name;” if you have fever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific. Tills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience ut the bed side of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself amt others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this m mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers, lint as cases may have be o.mie developed before tlie ‘• Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or uuder some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible tlie proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” ami “ Synopsis” will lie amply sulllcient lor all tln.se accustomed to atteudance upon the sick. Kults %n>ortant to be observed in all cates in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, aud may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be froo from all currents of air, (though there should always be free ventilation iu tho sick room,) nor attempt to go about while uuder its in fluence. 3d. It must be continued wliouever tlie fever subsides, or IS evidently passing off; to l>e resumed when it begins to rise again, should such bo tlie case under any circumstances. 4th. When tlie fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo question and ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exorcise whatever till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, iiuluce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, ami as long as tlie patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, auy simple decoctions, or teas, either eold or warm as parties may prefer or patieuts desire. 6th. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after tlie fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, haushora, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant 7or the face and breast may be bathed iu cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of oue year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and uuder 2 years, “ 6to 15 •• “ “ 2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 36 “ “ •"> “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “ ” 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom u toaspoouful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a geuerul rule, ns much as males. There is uo particular care necessary in giving it to children—those often years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given tho above table, witli tlie remark that, as a general rule children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be fouud agreeable iu all of its effects, tlie expectations of tlu> most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and uot on account of any actual necessity of sueli strict ob servances. Billows or Krinlttciit Fever. Uive a tcasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once ia two hours, till (tie fever is evidently passing oft ; this constitutes tho whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the “ Rules.” Hut should there be prominent local symp toms. or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and while giving the •• Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated or ooutined, 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 running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to tlie influence of medicine—uot easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or ‘two toaspoonsful may he given at first witli advantage, and even icpeated in two hours—if it—the pulse— lias uot been softened, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. bathing the surface with water at au agreealde temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid tho medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Oive twoteaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then onl a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as tlie fever subside! As the bowels are generally routined, and it is frouuentiv very difficult to get medicine to operate In this disease uo time ehould be lost to get them open, give some active’ cathartic with tho “Fluid ’ ami repeat ns may he neces sary till it operates; enemas (Injections) may also lie used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also cold ,hp Quinine may he added to the “Fluid it thought advisable.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing inatnly in degree, being all of a low grade, tlie puls? small aud wiry, with a general great depression, there is j>° practical uso iu separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned.

Tho ] bowels should he kept gently open, and small portions j of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, oven though tlie bowels should he very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and niiicilagenous drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging tlie surface as di rected iu bilious fever, will be funnd advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu all eases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. (live a teaspoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boni-net; or half tho quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should ho given warm till tlie violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to lie applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Varloln, Varioloid, lluheolit and Srnrlu t Inn ; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, ami Scarlet Fever. As ail of these diseases are atteudud witli fever, which in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, the treatment differs lute little from tiiat of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn tlie “name,” whether it is one or tho other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut treat it at anew; govern the fever and there will he no trouble; there will Ik- 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 boldly make tile assertion, that small pox, if treated as i direct, will be cut short; at tended with Imt little erup tion; littio or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its tunning its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake uot only my reputation, but a 1 Unit 1 hold most dear; besides, on tins subject, 1 have good authority; tlmt ol I’rof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 374: “ You may abate the lorec of tlie eruptive fever, and keep down, it i.i believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission that it may he done. I nave not only proven it may tee, but hat been done in numerous cases tlmt occurred on board ship. tieo tlie account appended. (liven teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the level aule sldes—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; hut it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tlie onllnury gargles may be used, and tlie suil'aio bathed, as thought advisable. In oue case, on tho ship Duchessd'Orleaus, the tongue and laucus were so much swollen that tlie patient could not swallow or speak, aud lie was cared by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of the throat was reduced so as to euabie 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 iu all such cassis. l*uerj>ernl or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with sucii 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 lie entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as lung as tlie fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should bo attoiuled to. 11l connection witli this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering, it is to inform them of the huppy effect of the Fluid iu many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— l’aiuful menstruation will lie relieved at otico by a com iuon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous Irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; ill short, it is oue of tlie most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of auy medicine known, its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and iritabilßy of tlie nervous as well as the circulatory. It will uot force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for ail cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue and control it under ull circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may be or ought to lie culled, it should lie giveu wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When sucii indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld bo giveu while giving tho “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they w ill then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides uo unnecessary time will thru la, lost. As the ‘, Fluid” ulono will sub due tlie fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho first dose, or soon alter, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “ Fluid” will Siam relieve that condition; if severe local I’aiu or inflammation, apply some stimulating liuimeut, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, peruaps, cloths Wot in coid water, to the part; if violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bailie the feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with grout suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tlie saline wash,” vinegar anil water or spirits ami water, either will afford great relief and aid the niedi emo in taking effect, after which there will I> K no trou ble; if tho patient Inis been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tiniics and stimulants, particularly iu low fevers, iu absence of fever or whon indicated; also during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must Vie allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do any good; for this purpose I geuerally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; wlieu t'lio stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” ami a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho “Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have soon, and then you will lie astonished at tlie ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. 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 mo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by nil, 1 will uamo a tew of tlie different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to. viz:— I'ut hart lea.—Articles that purge or operate ou tho bowels, sucii as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tlie roots or barks, and many pills, antibiiious, Ac.; anything known to be good for sucii purposes.

United States; hut wherever they prevail, North, Sunt 11, East or West, they all equally spring from tlie same miasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove tlmt cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, aud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is u re agent, or iu other wonts a specific remedy. AU Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal aud vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is the same iu character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to ull who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing tlie unerring nttinity subsisting between op posites, there is iu tbc preparation before us, offered to the public, Tire Natural Antidote (o Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completed)'purifies the system affected by it ol'its baneful influence, and tints restores anil preserves health. The remedy is believed to ho entirely new, aud un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly check the ague iu persons who have suffered lor any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical euro will be effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure (o malaria should make its use again necessary. In its operation upon the poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, anil when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tlie accession of General Delillily and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode fines. The patient ut 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 family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of tlie CURE iu every part of tlie United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying os to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. Win n these declarations were made ut the date of its iulroduct on, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlie most candid minus, because all ihe resources of science hail been tuxed iu vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wbat was stiil worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to pofeonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quiniue, Mercury, Salieine, Ac. Tlie effects of those are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when su ’i remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their puis nous effects are superaddeil to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using auy aecict Fever ami Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that tlieil’ potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is uot only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public. Confidence, Because of its Singular anil Foitlre Hu miles sues*, Tlie following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists pi the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evei y bottle: New Yorx, 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, hut have not found a particle of either in it, nor have I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JAMEB It. CHILTON, M. D.. Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, then fore, tlmt this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tlie human family from malarious diseases, hut to do ail equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of nuy fun-fit I 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 tlie one under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, botli residents and travelers, should protect themselves by Hie 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 ns a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibiiious purgative. Tlie very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil. the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or tlie operation of the antidote will lie seriously ob structed. Only C aut ion.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, aud place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in whieh tills medicine is put up have tho words, “Rhodes’ Fever ano Ague Cure” blown in tho glass, and on the outside wrapper is tlie name of tlie medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions aro taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The RELIANCE lOR ITS SUCCESS IS ENTIRELY UPON ITS actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will ho considered sufficient.

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 tiie ramily of a clergym m 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 u bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, llev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, lnd„ Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of Medicine here lor 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. li. ll,Ga, Jan. 1, 1850. 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 do sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all I cau iu its salo. W. A. HAYLKS. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in Cto United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. li. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fi-ct innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and 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 ngo were reluctant even to take the Cure on Commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will he noticed that tlie letters ot which 1 publish sn h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more tliun fill any newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greuter suc cess nml sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tire CiovvniugGlory of the Cure is its 11 AItMLESS CHARACTER, which allow s its tree use as a preventive. Thus protected bv using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman nr child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or auy form of disease arising from tho atmospheric poison Maluria, to which tlie Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects ti a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor nml tie- Witty or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
