NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. D. UeaHona why it ehould be wed iuntead oi any other treat ment in ail Febrile Affections: lul—Rconomy of Time.—Ah only one-seventh ; of tho ordinary time in required to effect n cure* ad.—Kconomy of Money.—As it c..sts but. one dollar. , . 3 r( j, Economy of Feeling.~As it saves tho suffering of a long sickness and th*- consequent treat mout; tho anuoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operatiou, and the pain of long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, aud that pleasant in its effect*. 4th. —Economy of Tliouglit.—As when known, it will rornovo all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. sth.—Economy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fetor subject to be followed by chronic disease. Oth.—Economy of l.lfe.—Ah tho cure iseffoctad before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger ol u lata! termination. Other reasons might lie added, hut these tiro deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasous nr- more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on tho first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course •o the nature of the case at. the lime it is first adminis tered. Ah this remedy gives so prompt, etloctual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons cun scarcely realize that they hud been really much sick, and very naturally conclude thy wen not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘ it was trilling a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence- it would have passed off with out anything—that modicine I eel no effect.” The general impression on the subject of fever Is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case a., naturally as men think at all ; ami II is not until the in “vidoal has witnessed many eases that he can fully i< uli/o the truth; and even then In- may coneluth 1 them ail very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have tic,<ii ‘ms successful ill perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur wit, ro there is some, ■ nvniiic or local cause so great ns to require particular atleutioii, or though success ill in reducing tho fever, It will again ric as tho Influence of the “Fluid” passes off. a* the exciting cause may sltU exist. II is to guard against disappointment n. snen cuecs that I have given and frequently refer to wind I have called a ‘‘synopsis.” Remarks oix Fevers lu General* On litis subject l wish to he fully understood, liy tho term ‘‘fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which tho hiiniati frame is subject, including snmll pox and other orupfivo levers, but ms they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of couise differ considerably in their development, aud exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by (lie same general character istic* —that oi uuiitio excitement in the circulatory aud nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense oi licut. dryness of the skin, debility, &o. To siiow that I inn not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advauce, 1 quote from the cclebrnfed I’rof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the “ I‘rinci pies anil I Til, lice of Physic.” Is a text hunk in many of our medical colleges, and consequently simulant a utluu iiy. Hu pige Not, he says :—“We hear continuali.i, both in ami out of tiie profession, different species of fever *p,. ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain l-'ever, Bilious Fever, I’utrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Giustio-Kntei ic, aud bo forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its mi e. There is no line 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.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you self about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it lit once as horcnfti r directed, ami you will hr well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet spec illa tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under n great variety of cir cumstances, seasons ami climates. Bear (his in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the ‘‘Fluid” is given, either by ueglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to ho pursued in all of tho most prominent levers, though the • Rules” and “Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. liuUs important to be observed in oil oases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should lie given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. id. Patients must bo free from all currents of air, (though there should always Iki free ventilation in tlm sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. Bd. It must lie continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed wlien it begins to rise again, should such bo the case under any circumstances. 4lli. When tho fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned ns to their want:, r feelings, nor attempt tocouvcrse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous ittueneis, iiuluce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids should be allowed, while gi-iug it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires aud 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 dosiro. Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tho lyi ‘ posture, so as to oeeusion a restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion (hem to speak of it, they should have a little win.', toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a lit.le spirit, ginger, or some othe. stimulant; or the faco and breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoouful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children —those often years of age frequently haring taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, us a general rule, children require more than adults iu proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will bo found agreeable iu all of Its effects, the expeetattons of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in 1 icing thus particu’ur is, that the fltll benefit of the medicine may bo obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of sucli strict ob servances. ltlll<iu or Hi'm it tent Fever.

If In any ease the bowels ore particularly constipated or confined, 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 the influence of medicine—not easily operated on bv medicine generally—a double dose, or two tenspoousful may be given al first with advantage, and even repeated iu two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened , thus- how,ug tho medicine has taken effect.

Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; nr Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scar lei Fever. As all of these discuses are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers, Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or tiie other, or neither, as tlu j all commence with Jevcr, but treat it at once; govern the fever anil there will be no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doiib-less will lie regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make tiie assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its l imning its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only uiy reputation, blit a 1 that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, l have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “You may übatu the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the. pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it may be., but has been done iu numerous cases tiiat occurred on board ship. See the account appended. (live a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of tiie case, with a dose of galls or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once ill two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera,ly sufficient; but it should be given aud repeated sufficiently to keep tin) fever under control. W lien the throat is affected, uuy of tiie ordinary gargles may be used, and llie surface bathed, as thought advisable. lu one ease, on tho ship Duchess if Orleans, the tongue anil fallens were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till be could swallow, when ii, was given in teaspoouful doses every hour, till uli alarming symptoms disappeared. Tiie swelling of tiie tii’ eut whs reduced so ns to enable him to take nour isliuiejit iu about twelve hours by tiie Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle, in all such cases. Puerperal or Clxildlied Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the liiotlior is liable, will yield to tiie Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem to be of little consequence. A single doso or two of a teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; uo alarm need be entertained, ns tiie Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should be re |M*!ited ns long ns tiie fever continues, as in other coses, (lie bowels oi course should tic attended to. in connection wiili this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tiie Indies, w ill save them much pain and suffering, it is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-hirtli, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried lo be appreciated.— I ‘ai n I'll I menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or u cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and” effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tins whole system, removing all excitability ami iritabiiity of tiie nervous ns well as tiie circulatory. It will not force sleep liku opiates, but it will seoth and quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use ill so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tiie treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Kiectrie Fluid will change the condition called tever, or subduo and control it under ail circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to i>e called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to cont.ol all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in or’er to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any ca.se, they should be appropriate means, and those soliuld bo given while giving tiie “ Fluid,” and 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 tho fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tiie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first iJoso, or soon after, anil should it tail to operate in due time, riqieat the dose; if attended “Ith diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tiie feet iu hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin dry unit hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at. an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and waiter, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if tho patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach to do any good: for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlio stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ FTuid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, y >u cannot realize it till you have seen, and when you will bo 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 arc usually particular about what is used. 1 have tuund uo such necessity whon using tho Fluid, and to lie fully understood by all. 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine X have referred to, viz : ( t liart ice.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, t-etfcia, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, utitibllious, Ac.; anything known to he good for such purposes. lie put I os.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on hy the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection with tho “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. Ami one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopUylliu—the fourth, mandrake root, ands. 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. Bone s'": or thormighwort is one of the best used iu fevers. Astringents.—Such ns check the action of the l towels. Laudanum aril other preparations of opium are used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. btliliUlAllts. Articles that raise or excite tin* system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlio best; ginger. Spirits, luiitsliorii, Ac., tiie essences are nil “lore or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but tlio Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and •• sedative” than known in the materia medico.

Tlio great variety us symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is the tame, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome nr remove that cause. By tho laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a 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 iu character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toull who breathe it. lu accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is iu tiie preparation before us, offered to the public, Tike Natural Antidote to Maiariu, which neutralizes tho poison whenever it conies in con tact with it, even iu tiie open air, and When taken inter nally completely purifies tlio system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores aud preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, ti radical cure will he effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should mak“ its use aguin necessary. in its operation upon the poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve all tlio distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tiie accession of General Debility and Slight Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other merle cities. The 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 he banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, Anil pursue their respective avocations :u perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during tiie sickly season, which is often to them tho most valuable part of the year. Since tiie introduction of tiie CURE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved theso assertions iu favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at tiie date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tiie most candid minds, because all tlie resources cf science had been taxed iu vain to subdue ague 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 as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, ftc. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their puis nous effects ace superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this 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 tiie Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Cooliticslice, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from on of the most celebrated chemists iu the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to cveiy bottle: Nkw Yoke, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever aud Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and hi o tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle t either in it, nor have lfound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES K. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist,” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tlio human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence oi any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of diseiise is so easily managed as tiie one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an J the same cause, and therefore all, botli residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlio timely use of tliis preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does barm. 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 be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tlio stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of tiie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Cant ion. —ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and 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 in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise bo resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tho medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions aro taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. Theso will lie considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by the proprietor, JAMES A. RHODES, Providence, It. I, For Rale in Columbus by lUVLIN, THOMAS & CO., February 10, 1556. ly Druggists.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. 3rr. J. A. RnoDES, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the :nmily of a clergym in here has been taking au “ AO UK 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 a hot tie of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Y’ours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Slonticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been iu the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure has overcome till prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, a id de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. YY'. A. HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is beiug intro duced as rapidly as possible in'.o every town and village in the United States, Canadas, ftc. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence, it is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not. just as they please. 1 can 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 he realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will he noticed that the letters of which I publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would moro than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended Any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons. not a mail woman or child in tiie United .States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quirk and permanent effects ns a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whoso constitutions have been shattered or weakened hy Ague or Bilious diseases, night- sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation. .1 AM Ell.
