Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so us to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some oilier stimulant ; or the face and breast may be bathed in rold water: either of which will give immediate relief.

Uy observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in nil of its effects, the expectations of tlio moat sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and uot ou accouutof uny actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent Fiver.

As these levers are all of one character, differing ununly in degree, being sll of low grade, the pulse •mull and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use lu separating them-at least so far as my treatment Is concerned. In these low levers, when tully developed, a little patience will be required *ti comparatively little, they frequently r„u under the common treatment, while with this hut w i *houhl he commenced—which mnv immediately follow any other without iletriment— with ateaspoonful of “Fluid” every two hours. tiUthenuU.

The boneset tea should bo given warm till tlio violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; theu cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and ttcarla t Ilia ; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases arc attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common levers. Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, us they nil commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will be but little, eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, anil doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assi rtion, that small pox, if treated us I direct, wiU be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, und Hint there is no necessity of its runuiug its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, but ad that l hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Matson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “You may abate the force of the eruptive lover, and keep down, it is believed, the number <*f the pustules by spline purges, Sir.” Here is Hie admission that it may be done. 1 mivo not only proven it maybe, but has been done ill numerous ruses that occurred on hoard ship, .see the account appended. Uivc a leaspoonlul or more, according to tho urgency of the case, witli u (lose of salts or castor oil; repeat, the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly suifleieiit; hut it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of (lie ordinary gargles may be used, and the Hurlure bulbed, as thought advisable. la one case, oil the slop Duchessd’Orleans, tlio tongue and fanetis were so mnch swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on bis tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow, wlii'ii ii was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, tin all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced ho as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by tho Fluid alone. — Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gurgle. iu ail such cases. Pucrpsrsi or Cliildlteil Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tiie Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as tho Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should lie rc lieated as long ns the fever continues, os in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot, refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save Ilium much pain und 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 bo tried to be appreciated.— I’aitiful 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 hy its use; in short, it is one of tlio most convenient and effectual remedies formally of the 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 tlio nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not lorco sleep like opiates, but it will south and quiet tile system so that one can sleep naturally and huulthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all coses. As tile Negative Klcctric Fluid wifi change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may bo or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control nil organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuid be given while giving the “Fluid,” und in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I cull all else auxiliary treatment. if the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dune, or soon alter, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to lie good for Hint complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or iullummatiou, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations ol’ l>i|per herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tlie part; if violent pain in tlio head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bntlio tiie feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hut, willi great suffering, sponge or bathe tiie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either wifi afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics und stimulants, particularly in low levers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced ; if thoro is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm Water, if given plentifully, will answer every pur|Hise; when the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho “Fluid” at the same time as directed, sml success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and theu you will lie astonished at the 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 w hat is used. 1 have found no Buoh necessity when using the Fluid, and to he fully understood bv all, 1 will name a lew of tlie different articles of medi cine l have referred to, viz:— t ut lutrt ten.—Articles that purge or operate on tlie bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, unlibilious, Ac.; anything known to l>e good forsncli purposes. Hepatic*,— Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by tlio different schools for this i urpose, will answer when used in connection with tlio “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu fltience. And one may choose calomel —another, blue muss—tho third, iHxiopliyllin—tlio fourth, mandrake root, ami so ou; ouch may take bis choice aud lie suc cessful. Tonic*.—Article* that give touo or strength, such as quiniue, various barks, roots and bitter herbs, Bone -801 or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringent*.—Stull us check the action of tlio Ikiwclh. latudiumin and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which hare tho effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tho system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of tho best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Klcctric Fluid is a lie Her “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in the materia met/ica. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instanco of success, that on tho Pnokctslilp Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: Me, tho undersigned, certify to tlio followdug, viz— M o took passage on tho jmeketship Duchess d’Orieans, Cupt lluttou, then lying in tlie port of Havre, France, and bound for New'York.

OR. MIA-SMA. riMIESE diseases are common to many localities of the JL United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from tlie same miaamal 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 that cause. Hy the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words n specific remedy. All .Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tiie same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing tiie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to tlio public, Tike Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the ojien air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies tlie system affected hy it ot its bauelul influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to bo entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims tlio following extraordinary results from its use : ft w ill instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from oue day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will bo 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 tlie poison in tlie system, it will immediately relievo all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tlio disease is Cured, it will entirely prevent tiie accession of General Debility aud Night Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration ofotiier mode tines. Tlie patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class iu the community; farmers, me chanics, ana all laboring people maybe using this arti cle os u Preventive, And pursue llieir respective avocations in 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 CERE in every part of the United States, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because ail Ihe resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; und what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, sueh as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and w hen such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, llieir |sas’ nous effects are superadded to tlie poor sufferer's first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fevei and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also WortUy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Ilarmlessiiess, Tlie following certificate from on, of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, aud a copy of it is attached to eveiy botile: Nr:w York, June 11, 1555. “1 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 either in it, nor have I found any substance iu its composition tlmt would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It i; a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relievo tlie human family from malarious diseases, but to and > an equally good work by preventing the taking of oilier medicines which do harm. Tlie entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Kemeoy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of di-eose is so easily managed as tlie one under consideration, if tlie uiedieine be taken iu advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, l>oth residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, aud not wait for tlie poison already lurking iu their veins, to develop itself iu a violent attack. Take tho Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does liann. Full directions aud 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 he found necessary to precede this medi cine hy a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tlie very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor (Ml, the object of which is to cleanse tlie stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where tiiis is necessary, or there is costiveness, itMusr be taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Oikly Caution. —In certain specified cases, p,>ur the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,i and place them in sleepiug rooms: for the vapor rising from tlio medicine, ami also the air wafted across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degi ee commensurate with its expo sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained iu tlio apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise he 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 Aouk Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tho proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sulficient.

She took in all four bottles which completely re stored her to health and strength, and as four mouths have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt tho perma nency of the cure. C. A. I’. MASOF, Apothecary. TO Bottle* Perform 70 Cures. Constantine, Mich., Sept. 24th, 1855. James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir;— l have just sent an order to Ames & ilalliilay for another half gross of your Fovernnd Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,” aud 1 have ouly two buttles on hand. Ouo reason it has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a case of Aguo or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a botile and told them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were net obliged to pay for it, and they wore all satisfied. I had one case of Chill F'eYer where it run four days, but the man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it lias been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthrnu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of tli ■ different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal ;.grew 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. YYishing yjur m>dicine 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 be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of tbe 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, and ire take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow. Hormsboro, Md. 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 iu the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure aud 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 eliarm. Y T ours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l 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. Respectfull v yours, W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11. C. R. R.,Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. 1 shall do all I can in its sale. \V. A. HAYLE&. if nny body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tho CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in tlie United States, Canada* Ac. 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. I can also 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 be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that tlio letters of which 1 publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newsptqier, ami prove tlie fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie CroxvningGlory of tlie Cure is Us IIARMLKSB CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected hy using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea. sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Billons 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 and permanent effects us a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Aguo or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
