NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared Uy N. W. tteat, M. U. Uoahous why it rthouhl bo UMd instead of any other treat ment In nil Febrile affections: Ist —Kcimimi)’ ol - Time.— As only one-seventh ol thu ordinary turn* is required to effect a cure. ■4d. Economy of Money.— As it costs but oue | ilolisr. 3rd. Kconmny of Feeling.— As it saves the suffering ol’ a loug sickness ami tile consequent treat meat; tUc annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, tbeir diaagreeotde operation, and tne pain of long confinement; but little of tbe fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. Itli.— Economy ol’ Thought. —As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting l'ebriloaffections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. Stlt.—Economy of Health.— As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is tho fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. Bill. — Economy of Life.— As the cure iseffected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might bo added, but these are deemed snlffcient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attuek, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the case at the time it is lirst adminis tered. As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent 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 won nut attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —u little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out any tiling—that medicine had no effect.” The general impression on tne subject of fever Is such, that thoughts no: unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think lit all; and It is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can tuliy realize the truth; mid even then ho may conclude them all vi ry t itling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been I bus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur win re there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success nl In reducing the fever, it will again rise us the Influence of the •• Fluid” passes off, as tfie exciting cause may still exist, ills to guard again.! disappointment in Hum cases that I have given and frequently refer to wlmt I have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers in General* On this subject 1 wish to b fully understood. )<y the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small (six and other eruptive levers; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and halms, tlcy of course differ considerably in tneir development and exhibit a variety of forma or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character islics—that o: undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, seuee of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show tlrat 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from tile Celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of K lug's College, London, whose work on the “ Priuci pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthoritg On page HJ4, he says:—“We hear oontiuuall \, liotli in and out of tile profession, different speeies of fever spo ken of. tty tho public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever, Uilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adyuumic, Uasrru-Lntoric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, 1 aui persuaded that tile effect upon the mind of ail this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro scribe lor u disease according to its name. There is no lino of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Tho above is a groat fact, one worthy of remembrance ami 1 would imprest on your minds tho folly of hunting up or troubling you self about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you ioiU be well instead of any distinctcliaracter being devel oped, so as to lie property named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on eloßet specular thins or visions of mind, h"t on experience at the lied side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands ot cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and ch'mutes. Hour tills in mind, and treat at once without regard to mime., and rest assured you will soon be freed from ul! dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers, ll.ut as cases may have be come developed before tile ‘‘Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules’* and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. liulet important to be observed in all rates in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given ill three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must lie free from ail currents of air, (though there should always be freo ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must be continued whenever tho fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case tinder any Circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside,patients must bo left perfectly qniet; free from all excitement; should not be questioned as to their wauts or feelings, no? attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of ail extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their bearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but bo leti quiei to ‘ill intents aud purposes. Stti. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, ami ns long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. 6th. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so ns to occasion a restlessness after tho fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a littlo spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast may bo bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 *< “ 12 to 30 “ “ 6 “ 10 ‘ 2O to 50 “ b “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old |>ersons do not require us much as youug, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is uo particular care necessary tu giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule children require more than adults in proportion. Ry observing the above directions, the medicine will lie found agreeable in all of its effects, tile 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 net on account of any actual necessity of sucli strict ob servances. Billons or Remit (cut Fever. (live a teiispouf.il of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tho fever is evidently passing off'; this constitutes tho whole treatment in till simple cases of fever, with sucli observances as are set forth in the “ Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp tom*, or knowu local existing causes, they should ho attended to at once, mid while giving the •• Fluid.” Seo Synopsis. if in any case the bowels are particularly constipated or confined, givo a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with thu first portion : they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fiver is very high, pulse runuing 110 er upwards, aud the patient ts not particularly susceptible to tlie iufluouce of medicine—not easily operated on bv mediciue generally—a double dose, or two toaspoousful limy be given at lirst witli advantage, and even repeated in two hours—ls it—tbe pulse—has not been softened, thus allowing th medicine lias taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much In taking effect. Congestive Fever. (live two teaspooimful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and sort, then only a tea spoon ful, to be discontinued in the fever subside) As the bowels are generally confined, a m l pj, frequentlv very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease no time should be lost to get them open, give some active’ cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat as may be neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also bo used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may lie added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis, Nervous Fever. Typhus. Shipsnd Putrid or Spotted Fever. A these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in deg.ee, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least ho far hs my treatment is concerned, in these low fevers, when Lilly developed, a little patience will be required- still comparatively little, as they frequentlv rnn weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will be ueceseary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. * The treatment should bo commenced—which mav immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonfui of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued mce In six or eight hours till the fox or entirely subsides. In bad casos, from three to live grains each of quinine | aud capsicum (Cayenne popper) or some tonic and stiinu- ; laut (see auxiliaries) should be added, to each dose. The j bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions j of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should be sustain-xl by nourishing aud uiucilagenous drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging tho suilaco as di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should bo used outing convalescence, in ail cases which liuve liecorne reduced. I’acumonlx, Typlioitl Fueumonia,Luiig or Winter Fever. (live a teaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of l/outset; or half the quantity may ho given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should bo given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or tlie patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep tlie bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact in the most prominent symptom, tlie treatment differs hue little from that ul common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “name,'’ whether it is one or tho other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will l/e but little eruption even in small , j j*. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. I neverilieless boldly make tlie assertion, tliut small pox, if treated as I direct, will be. cut snort ; attended witli but little erup tion; little or no pitting, mid that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, but a 1 that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “Von may abate tlie force of tlie eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission ttint it may be done, i nave not only proven it mag be., but has been done in numerous cases that occurred ou board ship, bee tlie account appended. (five a teaspoonful or more, according to tile urgency of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until thefeversub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When tlie throat is affected, any of tlie ordinary gargles may ho used, aud the surface bathed, as thought advisable. in one case, on tlie ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue ami faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tin) Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till be could swallow, when ii was given in teaspoonfui doses entry hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in uls/ut twelve hours by the F'luid alone.— b'seil to wet the threat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best gargle in all sucli cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield totue Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, ah to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonfui, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should be re peated as long fts tlie t'-vc-r continues, as in other cases, die bowels of course should be attended to. in connection witli this subject, 1 cannot refruinfrom making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tlie indies, will save Ihetn much pain uud suffering, it is to inform them of tlie happy effect of tiie Fluid iu many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing aud soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains ami difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful inenstrnntion will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, uervous irritability, or a colii taken at a delicate time, is uusily relieved l/y its use; in short, it is oue of tlie most convenient and effectual remedies for many of (lie ills of females, if not the most so ofariy medicine known, its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of tho nervous as well ms the circulatory, it will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally aud healthy; hence its use in so many cages. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called fever, or subdue and control it under ull circumstances, without regard to tho name it nitty be or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control ull organic or local causes, which, when sucli exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should he appropriate means, and these soiiulj be given >.vliiie giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides uo unnecessary time will then be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub duo tho fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a eathartib (see auxili aries) witli the first dose, or soon after, ami should it fail to operate in due timo, repeat tbe dose; if attended with diarrhoea, givo something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho “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 pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, will) great suffering, sponge or bathe tho whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature; ‘‘the saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will bo no trou ble ; if Die patient bus been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in !ow fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tlie patient lias become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give sumo gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the “ F’iuid” aud a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as y ou would under any other circumstances, giving tho “Fluid” at the same time as directed, uud success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at tlie ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to kuow what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using tlie Fluid, aud to bo fully understood by all, 1 will name a ,ew of the different articles of medi cine X have referred to, vix:— Cat hart its.—Articles that purge or operate ou the bow els, sucli as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or bulks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good forsinii purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by tlie different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tlie “ Fluid” or while the system is under its iu- Unonce. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs, ltone ho: or thoruugliwort is one of tlie best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such ns check tlie action of tho bowels. Ltudununi and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have tlie effect. ’ Stimulant a. -Articles that raise or exeite tlie system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of tlie best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the esseuees are all more less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry *** treating fevers, though many others are genctiilly used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” aud “sedative than known m tho materia medica 1 shall not tux the reader with a long list'of proofs, depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of sucees., that on the Packcisliip Duchess D’Orlran*, which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates • M'c, the undersigned, certify to tlio following vi/. tt e took passage oil tlie packetsliip Duchess d’Orlcans (“ptllut ton, then King in the port of Havre, Franco! and bound for New York.

United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, Foist, or West, they all equally spring from tlio same miasmul cause. The great variety ol symptoms aud forms of disease is owiug principally to difference iu age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as 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 lius its opposite, uud for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marches, Stagnant water, decompo sition of aniund and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is the same in character aud effect; is a poi son floating iu the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. in accordance witli those unalterable laws governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites. there is in tlio preparation before us, offered to the public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it cornea in con tact with it, oven iu tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies tlie Bystem affected tiy it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. Tiie remedy is believed to bo entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, uho distinctly claims tile follow ing extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered ibr auy length of time, from oue day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to tiie direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; tlie patient contin uing free l'roiu (lie complaint lor ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should mak“ its use again necessary. in its operation upon tlie poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, aud when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General DebUlty and Night Sw eats, which ■'o often follow the administration of other mode ciues. Tlie patient at ouee begins to reever appetite anil strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfecthealtli. , By if- use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class iu the community; lurmers, me chanics, aud all laboring people may be using this arti cle us a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tlie most valuable part of tlie year. Since the introduction of the CUBE iu every part of tlie United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions iu favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduce on, they seemed incredible to many, even of tiie most candid minds, because all ilie resources of science liad been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, &c. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their pois nous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. Ou tliis account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any Secret Fever 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 - > Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Kin ire Harmlessness, The lollowing certificate from on of the most celebrate 1 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, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine uud Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor hare 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES it. CIIILTON, M. I)., 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 an equally good work by preventing tbe taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient manes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as tlio oue under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken iu 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 tlie timely use of this preventive, and not wait fir tlie 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 us to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident iu a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. it will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling ibr general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must re taken or the operation of tlie antidote will be seriuu.-ly ob structed. Only Caution.—Tn certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,, ami 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 degree commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu tlio apartment. This inode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlio words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in tho glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tho 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 sufficient.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to tlie value of your Antidote to Malaria. One youug lady in the family of a clergym in here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without, any per manent beneflt—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and lias not had a chill since.

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 ill every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. It. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to Lave tlie 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 tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them uli. and it will be noticed that tlie 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 tlie fact of a greater suc cess and sale tluin ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The C i-o veiling ‘Glory of tiie Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Tims protected by usiDg a bottle or two during tlie warm and sickly sea sons. not a man woman or child in the United States would over have a single attack of Fever and Ague. Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tlie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and 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.
