Other reasons might lie added, hut these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons iu all condi tions of life. The above reasons are mere particularly applicable to tile Immediate treatment on the first attack, but v. .11 apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nuture of the cose at the time it is first adminis tered. As thin remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, iu all ordinary eases, when used soon after the attack, |minuiis can scarcely realize that they Imd been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y V. .-I • not attacked with fever, and If so, “it was trifling -a little cold, which gave alarm—it could'have been nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine liod no effect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts bot unlike the above follow the cure of a common ease a-, naturally as men think at ail; and it is not until the individual lias witnessed many casesthat he can fully realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very ti ifliug cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been lints successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great os to reqnire particular attention. or though success ul in reducing the fever, it will again t i;<u as the influence of the “Fluid” pusses oil, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that I have given and frequently refer to what 1 have railed a “ synopsis.” Atmarks on Fevers In General* On tint, subject 1 wish to be lolly understood. Ily the term “ fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox ami other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, th y of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that o. undue excitement iu tho circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in I lie pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated —of. T. Watson, ol King's College, London, whose work ■ n the •* Prinui pies and Practico of Physic” is a text book in many of our me. cal coll, ges, and consequently standard authority. tin page 834, lie says We bear continually, both in ami out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of.

Ami systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uustro-Enteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fover shows itself under various forms. I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this Nub-uivision, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition already too prevalent, to pro scribo for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, tha* can be relied ou. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, anil are often traceable to the same cause ” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami 1 would imprtu ou your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling voniself about a “name;” if you have lever, treat it ut once as hereafter directed, mid you mill lie. well instead of auy distiuctcharocter being devel oped, so as tu bo properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of miml, but on experience at the bed v.ae of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (hy myself nml others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, anil treat at once without regard to nueie, and rest leisured you will boo., be freed from all dryad of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But os coses may have be come developed before the ‘• Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describo as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for ail those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

When the fever begins to subside,patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from art excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to oeuverae, read or take any exercise whatever, till tlioir non natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, In which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to oil intents and purposes, f>tb Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as pleutauUj, and as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, auy simple decoctions, or teas, either cold warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. OUi. .should patients experience any oppression or flunmess while in the lying posture, HO as to occasion a restlessness after tho fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion then. ,o speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some ether stiniulaut; or the face and breast may bo bathed ip cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from .'1 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ bto 15 “ “ 2 “ 5 “ h VJ to 30 “ “ 6 “ 10 “ - 20 to 60 “8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. AU persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do uot require as much ns young, or those iu the prime of life; uor females, as a general rule, as much us males. There Is no particular care necessary iu giving it to children —those often 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. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the incaHoine limy l>c obtained, and uot on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent Fever. Uivo a teaspunful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever Is evidently passing oft’; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of lever, with such observances os nre set forth in me “ UuU-s.” But should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should he attended to ut once, and while giving the “ Fluid,” See Synonsis. If iu auy case the bowels are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the tirst portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. - Where the lever is very high, pulse rulining 110 or upwards, and the patient Is not particularly susceptible to the influence of iuedicun—not easily o|M>ratcd ou by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may bogiveu at Hrst with advantage, and even lopeated iu two hours—if it—tho pulse—has not been softened, thus showing the medicine lias taken effect. Bittliiug the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the sulluo wash, vinegar or spirits anil water, in these dim ult eases, will afford relief and old the medicine much ill taking effect. Congestive Fever. Uive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea ipoouful, to be discontinued us the fever subsidei As the bowels are generally routined, and It is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease no time should be bud to get them open, give smile active cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat us may be uecee sary till <t operates; enemas (injections) may also be used to r.uvautage; also, mustard to the extremities or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to ibe “ FTuid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship autl Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of oue character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, witli a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far tu my treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will |,e required’ still comparatively little, as they frequently . , in weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few davs I convaU ‘ -ry at lonK °“ t to <* t Mbh a permanent i The I . t ” tn ‘„nt should be commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoon fill of Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to In continued >nc* in six or eight hours till the fiver entirely subsides. ! In bad cases, from three to live grains each of quinine | and capsicum (Cayenne pejqier) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each (fuse. The bowels should he kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should ho sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous drinks—such as are iu common use in such cases.— Where tlio skin is very dry, sponging the surface us di rected iu bilious ievor, will be found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all rases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Uive a teuspoonful of tlio “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bouesot; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or night hours. The boiiesot teu should be given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to be applied over tho seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Turloluld, Rubeoia anil Scarla tina I 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, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Kemember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, us they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will I w but tittle e.rupturn even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, wilt lit. cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, but ad that 1 bold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of I'rot. Watson, previously quoted; lie says, page 874: ” You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spliue purges, Ac.” Here is the odinissiou teat it may he done, I have not only proven it may be, hut has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. (live a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor jil; repeat tho Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the lever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should be given uud repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, us thought advisable. In one case, on tlio ship liucheßSd’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were sumueli swollen that tho patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when ii was givou iu tcospoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him tu Luke nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat irequently, it is doubtless the best gurgle ‘a all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. 1 his heretofore painful, daugerous and alarming malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to lie 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 the Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should be re peated as long ns tho fover continues, ns iu other cases. • he bowels of course should be attended to. iu connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a lew general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering, it is to inform them of tlio 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 lie appreciated. Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose uud retiring, Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora 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 nut the most so ofuny medicine known, its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iri. ability of ike nervous as well us the circulatory. It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and houltlvy ; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, ami condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for aU cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circwustauces, without regard to the name it uiuy bo or ought to be called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must lie removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any cose, they should Ih: appropriate means, and these sohuld he given while giving the “ Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily uct producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then he lost. As tho >, Fluid” alone will sub due the lever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cuthartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon alter, and should it fail to operate in duo time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhu-a, give something known to lie good for that complaint, though it caused by irritability, tlio “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, ek*t!in wet in cold water, to the pal; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlio foot in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and lint, with great suffering, sponge or butlie the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi eiuo in iakiug effect, after which there will be no trou ble; if tlio patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient lias becomo re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the 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 the stomach lms settled, give tho “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary: in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho “ Fluid” at tho same time as directed, ami success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease with which you can control e.n febrile excitement. A axilla) ien. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about w hut is used. 1 have found no sueli necessity when using tho Fluid, and to Ih> fully understood by all, 1 will mime a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cat I.art ten.—Articles that purge or operate ou the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, uud many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good lor such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act ou tho liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tho “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. 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. Tonic*.—Articles that give ton, or strength, such ns quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bono set or thoroughwort is one of the besl used in fevers Astringents.—Such as check the action of the nowt'iH. laudanum and other preparations of opium art used ; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. St tin til tint *•—Articles that raise or excite the system. Causicuin (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best: finger, npiritH, hartshorn, &c., the essences arc all nu>n , i or less Stimulating.

I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tlio results of a tiial, nml will only refer to ono instance of success, that u’n the Paeketslitp Duchess D’Orlcans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates * Me, the undersigned, certify to the* following viz— W o took passage on the packetshlp Duchess d’Urloans Capt Hutton, then lying in tho port of Havre Franco and bound for New York.

I Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure ; Ok Antidote to Malaria ; FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, uud otber Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp tons ; Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night Sweats, and all other forms of disease WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN MALARIA OR MIASMA. TI’IIESE diseases are common to many localities of the X United States; but wherever they prevail, North, Sooth, Eiist or West, they all equally spring from the same miasniul cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in ago, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but ns the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By 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 a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is Hie same ia character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toall who breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws governing tlio unerring allinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to the public, Tlie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and w hen taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and tliiiß restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, wiio distinctly claims tile following exUutordluary results from its use: It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered tor any length of time, from oue day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, n radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from tiie complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. In its oiieratiou upon the poison in Hie system, it will immediately relieve all tiie distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, amt when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cities. The patieut at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use F'ever and Ague may bo banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often tu them the most valuable part of tho year. Since the introduction of the CURE 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 iucrcdihle to many, even of tiie most caudiil minds, because uil ibo resources of science had been taxed in 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, Mercery, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worso than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ti e superaddeti to tiie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert tiiey may ho taken, with perfect safety, even w hen it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is uot only valuable on account of its power to cure iliseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of tiie most celebrated chemists m the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found auy substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, there fore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to d-> an equally good work by preventing tiie taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as tho one under consideration, if the medicine bo taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an i tiie same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves hy tiie timely use of this preventive, and not w ait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure os a preventive, and so destroy the poisou before it does barm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished I'hysiciuu 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 autibilious purgative. Tlio very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleans-- the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costivencss, it must he taken or the oiieratiou of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of oue or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and place them iu sleeping rooms ; for the vapor rising from tho medicine, and also tiie air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata orpoisou contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise be resorted to when Very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho words, “ltuoDEs’ Fever and Aiiue Cure” blown in tho glass, and on the outside wrapper is the nainoofthe medicine, (tiie copyright of which is secured) and tlio signature of tiie proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced aud used.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured hy your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of the oenefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmn if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th - different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal i .-grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. — Since tht time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Rear Sir— l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the lauiily of a clergyman hero has been tnking an “■AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cuvo and 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 charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from n Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in 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. 11. R.. Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure lias ovorcome 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. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. IIA YLES. If auy body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced ns rapidly as possible into every town and villnge in the United States, Canadas, 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 nlso 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 be noticed that the letters of which I publish sn h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fillany 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 us a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever liavo 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 n 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 orany kind of Intemperance or dissipation.
