Kli. —Reenoiny of Thought.—As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile alloc turns; particularly while a dear friend is sick. 51 it.— Economy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the lever subject to lie pillowed oy chronic disease. Hill.—Economy of Islfe. —As the cure is effected before aud without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding dog no, ail ilangcrot a fatal termination. tltlier masons might lie added, hut these are deemed eulUclont to satisfy all class ‘s and person* in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut will apply with equal force to eases which have been subject ed hi or hav become reduced, corresponding of comae •o the nature of the case at the time it is tirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used sisin after (lie attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturai', conclude th y w-r i not attacked with lever, and if so, “it was trilling a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothin, and rams, pieties —it would have passed oil with out any tiling—that medicine had uoeffect.” Tile general impression ou the subject of fever is sueh, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common cuso mi naturally as men think at all; and it i not until toe individual has witnessed many caseethat lie can fully lvalue the trullit and even Mien he may conclude them all very ti iflitig cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have I,imiii thus successful iu perhaps I urn'l reds of cases, must expect that there w ill cases occur wln re there is some 01 gallic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success ul in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the Influence of the “ Fluid” passes oil, an the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard ugaiust disappointment in puen cuses that I have given and frequently refer to what 1 have callcsl a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Eeven In (>eiieral> On this subject 1 wish to he fully understood. Ily the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but ns they arise by a great variety of causes, anil in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, tin y of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general cliaractcr ietlcs—that oi undue excitement in tbe circulatory and nervous systems—lnducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, 4c. To snow that I am not wholly alone in the opinion i advance, I quote from tbe rclchrafcd Prof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi pies and Practice of Physic” is a text lasik in many ol* our medical colleges, anil consequently st'i nilu rd uut fiord y Uu page 8114, lie saysWo b"ar runt inimlh, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever s;se leu of.

Anil systematic writers are to the full ns particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I mu persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all tills sub-division, is had and hurtful. It enconrages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its no me. There is no lino of genuine distinction between continued levers, that can be 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 rememhruuce and 1 would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have lever, treat it. at once as hereafter directed, and you will he well inateiui of any distinetclinructer being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific, ‘fins assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of tbo sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (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 name, and rest you will soon be freed from all dread id’ linger ing and dangerous fevers, lint as eases may have lie tome developed before tlie ‘• Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as brlnlly its possible the proper course to lm pursued in all of tlie most prominent fevers, though the “ Itu’.es” and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while iu the lying posture, so ns to occasion a restlessness after tlie lever line passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have u little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant ; or the face and breast may be bathed Iu cold water; either of which will give immediate 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 tlie prime of life; uor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary In giving It to children those of ti n years of age frequently having taken full doses; hut for a little guide, 1 have giveu Hie a hove table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will Le found agreeable ill all of its effects, tlie expectations of tlie most sanguine realised, aud many perfectly astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that tlio full heuf tit of the medicine may lie obtained, and uot ou nccouut of auy actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent Fever, Give a teiisponlul of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes tlie whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, with such observances as arc set forth iu the “ llulcs,” But should there lie prominent leal symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.” See Synopsis. If m any case tlie bov.'cls are particularly constipated or conllned, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries 1 with the first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running lit) or upward-, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the i. t'.uence of medicine —not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teasp,Kiiisfiil may be given at tirst with advantage, and even repeated in two h.iura—df it—the pulse—has not I men pate nut, thus showing the medicine has taken effvt.

Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship stud Putrid or Spotted Fever, As these fevers nrc all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small ami wiry, witli c. general grent depression, there is lio practical nsc iu separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when tally developed, a little patience will bo required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the Common treatment, while with this but a few days will he necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. • k . The treatment should be commenced—whieh mnv | immediately follow any o'*"*r without detriment—with f “ teaspoouful of “ Fluid” every two hours till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued tnce in six or eight honrs till the fever entirely subsides. In bail cases, from throe to five grains cacti of quinine. I and capsicum. (Cayenne popper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The bowels should lie kept gently opeu, ami small portions of some UriKdic should lie giveu occasionally, oven though the howels should be very loose. The patient j should ho sustained hy nourishing and mucilaginous drinks—such as nru in common use in such cases.— Whero tlie skin is very dry, sponging the surface us di- I rented in bilious fever, will he found advantageous, j Tonics should he used duriug convalescence, in uli cases j which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. (Jive a teaspoouful of the “Fluid” every two hours, witli a wine-glassful ol a strong decoctiou of Imnemt; or half the quantity limy be given every hour till relieved, then, ut longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours. The boneset tea should bo given warm till the violeut symptoms are alluyed, or tlie patient is relieved ; tln-n cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to bn applied over the seat of puiu; keep the bowels gently open. Variulu, Varioloid, Rnheola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, tlie treatment differs hue little from that offcommoil fevers. Kemember never wait to learu the “ name,” whether it is oue or the other, or w ither, as they all comuienco with fever, Imt treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he uo trouble; there will be but little eruption eveu in small (six. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be nit short; attended with Imt little erup tion; little or no pitting, und that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will elukc not only my reputation, but ad that 1 hold most dear; besides, on thissuhjsct, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, puge 871: “ You may abate the force of tlie eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, tlie number of Utc pustules hy spline purges, 4c.” Here is the admission that it limy lie done. I nave not only proven it may he, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on hoard ship. See tlio account appended. Uivoa teaspoouful ur more, according to tlie urgency of tlio case, with a dose of sails or castor oil; repeat tlio Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though olio or two doses is genera.ly sufficient; liut it sli.mid bo giveu and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may bu used, and tlie surface bulbed, as thought advisable. In one ease, on tlio BilipDuchess d’Orleans, the tongue ami lawns were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tlie Fluid on his tongue, drop hy drop, till ho could swallow, when ii was given in teaspoouful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlio swelling of tin’ throat was reduced so ns to enable him to take nour ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gurgle in ail such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and ularniing malady to which tlio mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspnniiful. almost invariably giving entire und per manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as Hie Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should bo re peated us lor 5 as tbe fever coutinues, its in other eases. Tlio bowels ot course should lie attended to. In connection witli this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a low general remarks, which, if regarded by tin’ ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid iu many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its paius aud difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation w ill Is: relieved st once by a com mon dose and retiring. Hestlessness, nervous irritability, or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one ol tlio most convenient and effectual remedies tor many of the ills of females, if uot tlm most so of auy medicine known, its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing nil excitability and iritability ol the nervous us well as tlio circulatory, if will uot force sleep like opiates, but it w ill sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; henco its use ill 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 all cases. As tlio Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition culled lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to he called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed iu order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soluiid bo given while giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, us they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides 110 unnecessary time will then be lost. As tbe‘,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 call ati else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie tirst dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrliuea, give something kuown to be good for that complaint, though il’ 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 bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent )iuin iu the head, apply cold water, ieo water, if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe tlie feet iu hot water; if the lover is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water at ail agreeable temperature; “tin* saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits ami water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine iu taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble; if tlie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics ami stimulants, particularly iu low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, duriug convalescence, when the patient lias become re duced; if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tlio stomach to do any good; tor this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” ami a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat allthe prominent symptoms as you would under ally other circumstances, giviug tlie “Fluid” at tlio same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realise it till you have seen, ami then you will lie astonished at tlio ease with whieh you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel ut a loss to know what is mount by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 liavo found no such necessity when using the Fluid, ami to be fully understood by all, 1 w ill name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 iia\e referred to, viz : ( at liar! tea.—Articles thatpiirge or operate on tlio bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tlie roots or barks, and many pills, uutiliilious, Ac.; anything known to lie good for such purposes. llepntics.—Anything known to net outlie liver particularly, portal circulation anil secretions generally. Any of the article# depended on by tlie different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “Fluid” or while the system is under it's in fluence. Aud oue may choose calomel—•another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—tlio fourth, niaudrake root, aud so ou; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tune or strength, such as quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or thorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents. —Such us chock tlie action of tlio how els. laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have tlio effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is oue of the last; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, 4c., the esseuces are all more or less stimulating, rhese are tlie only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bet'er “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” und “sedative ’ than known in the materia median. 1 shall not tax the reader w ith a loug list of proofs, depending mainly on Hie results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Pst'kiUiiip Dm'lirss D'Orleaiu. w hich cannot be classed among ordinary certiffcates; We. the Undersigned, certify to the following, viz— We took passage ou the puckotsliip Duchess d'Orleans, Cupt llniton, tlien lying in the port of Havre. France and bound for Now York.

OK MITEIiA. riMlEfiE diseases are common to many localities of the JL baited states; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from the same miasinal cause. The great variety olsymptoius and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; hut as tlie cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy tiiat is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, anil for every disease, or cause of diseuse, 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 mutter, or even newly cleared lands, is tlio same in character and effect; is a poi son floating iu the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. ill accordance witli those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to tlie public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes tlie jioison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in tlie open,uir, and when taken inter nally completely purities tlie system affected hy it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to he entirely new, aud un known to any but tlio proprietor, who distinctly claims tlie following extraordinary results from its use : it will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered lor any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and hy continuing its use, aecurdiug to the direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; tlie patient contin uing free from theeomphdnt fur ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should utak” its use again necessary. Iu its operation upon tlie poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve all tlie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tlie accession of General Deldlity and Night. Sweats, which so often fellow the administration of other mode cines. Tlie patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever und Ague may he banished from every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me chanics, ami all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue 1 licit respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks duriug tlie sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of tlie year. Since tbe introduction of tiie CUKE iu every part of tlio United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its intruduct.ou, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlie most candid minds, because nil ilic resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue sguc 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 ax Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Baliciue, 4c. Tlie effects id” these are sometimes worse titan tlie disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their (lots nous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer's first complaint. On tliis account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken witli perfect safety, eveu when it is notoriously well known that tln-ir potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that tbe Keuiudy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public bonliiU ncc, Because of its Singular axial Kill ire Hai iiilcssness, The following certificate front one of tlie most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evei y bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of cither in it, nor itave I found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JAMES It. CHILTON, M. 1)., Chemist.” It i) a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do uu equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient make* this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as tlio one under consideration, if the medicine bo taken in advance. Tliis is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one tin t the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and uot wait for the poison already lurking iu their veins, to develop itself iu a violent uttuck. Take the Cure as a preventive, aud so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Bhysicinn long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a HAild cathartic or antilulions purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tlie object of which i to cleanse the stomach and free tlie biliuVy passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or tliero is costiveness, it must re taken or the operation of tlie antidote will be 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, and placo them iu sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tbe medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circulated over tbo dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degtec commensurate with its expo sure,the miasmata or poison euutained in thea]mrtnient. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie resorted to when very young infants are exposed lo malarious situations. Tlie bottles in whieh this medicine is put up have tlie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown m tbe glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) a:ul tlie signature of tlio proprietor. These preeautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations, The reliance fox its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will bo considered sufficient.

Having been Informed of the illness of a poor, but worthy woman, who has not been fro efrom Fever and Ague a month at a time tor tlie last twelve years, I sup plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l itave just sent an order to Ames 4 llalliday for another half gross of your Fever and Ague Cure. J t lias sold like “ Hot Cakes,” aud 1 have only two hott'es 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 aud told them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. 1 had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but tlie man came to see me on tlio sixth day well satisfied.

This proves the medi (luetobe good, anil wo take pleasure in bringiug it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellmo, Doonsbaro, Met. ,Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the valuo of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in tlie 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 tlie Cure aud lias uot 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. Monticeluo, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A.

Ii any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced us rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas, 4c. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. It. Chilton, of New Y'ork. certifies to its per fect 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 arc those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure Oil commission. They ‘bought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters of which 1 publish su It immense quantities arc always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill auy newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess aud sale tliun ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie ClownlngG 1 ory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its tree use as a preventive. I Inis protected hy using a bottle or two during the warm ami sickly sea sons, not u mail woman or child in tlie United States would ever have a single attack of Fever anil Ague. Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick und permanent effects as 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.
