Other reasons might lie added, but these are deemed suttioient to satisfy all clusses and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons ur more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course *■> the nature of the case at the time it is lirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent reliuf, in all ordinary cases, when used sism after fhoalturk, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli y veer not attacked wdo luver, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gate alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—it would have pu-sed off with out anything—that medicine had Uueffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above lbllow the cure of a common case it-i naturally us men think at all; and it is not unti. 1 ihc iu liviaual lias witnessed many casus that lie can fully rniiuii the U uiii; and even then ho may poudadu tli 11 nil very hilling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, ydt persons, though they hate been Hills succussful iu perhaps hundreds of cases, must c \ poet that there will (fuses occur tvli re there is some ..iganie . oral onnse so great as to require particular atieiitiuu. or th nigh success ul ill reducing the fever, il will again rl e .is the influence of the “ Fluid” passes oil, as the exciting cause may still exi. l.

I!y the term “fevers,” I comprehend ull febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including sniiill pox and other eruptive fevers; hut its they arise by a groat variety of causes, and iu quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety el’ forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics —that o. undue excitement in the circulatory mid nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency iu the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone In the opinion I advance. I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, ■ i King’s College, I,melon, whose work on the “ Princi pit und Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, und consequently thtiulurdaidlu/rity. tin page .11 liesays:—“We hear continually, both In and out of the profession, different upsides of fever spo ken of.

Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola anti Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet .Fever. As ull of these diseases are attended with fever, which iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from t hat of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “ name,” whether it is one or the ether, ur neither, as they ull commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will he but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded witlt ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will on cut slant; attended with but little erup tion; little ur no pitting, aunt that there is nu neotstdy ul’ its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, hut a 1 that 1 hold most dear; beside-:, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: “Von may abate the force of the e.uplive lever, and keep down, It is believed, the number of the jtustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that il may he done. I nave not only proven It maybe, hut has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appointee). Given teaspoonful or inure, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose of stills or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once iu two hours if nueossary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep the lever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, und the surface bathed, us thought advisable. In one case, on the slop Duchess and Urleans, tlie tongue and faueus 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 lie could sw allow, when ii was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he ul little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tile Fluid will ariosi it iu u short Lime, it should be re peated as long ns the foyer continues, as in oilier cases, ills bowels of course should he attended to. in connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which,’if regarded by the ladies, will save them muck pain and suffering, it is to into; in t hern ol’ tho happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor ol much of its pains und difficulties; ft must be tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will he relieved at onuo v com mon done ami retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of tho most convenient and effectual remedies for many of tlie ills of females, if not the im.st so of any medicine kuown. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tho whole system, removing all excitability and iritahility of Iho nervous as well us tho circulatory. J t will not force sleep liko opiutes, hut it will sooth and quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally aud healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Syixopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tli i condition called icver, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name, it may be or ought to he called, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot Le ex poefd to control all organic or local causes, which, when eucli exist, must h<> removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in auy case, they should be appropriate luenne, and thes soliuld be given while giving me “ Fluid,” and in onuecUon with it, when occasion requires, os they will then more readily act, producing more general ellect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the hovels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho lirst dose, or soon after, and should it tail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for •hat complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “ Fluid” w ill soon relieve that condition; if severe local imiu or inflammation, apply sonio stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tho head, apply oold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooliuigt application,’ and bathe •he feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with wuter at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief &m,d aid the medi cine iu taking cltect, after which (U will be no trou ble ; it the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tunics aud stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in, absence of fever or when indicated; also, dmiug convalescence, when the patient lias become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed befiure any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose l generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; wher the stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the. prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho “Fluid” at the same time as directed, aud success o will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it til) you have seen, aud then you will he astonished at the case with which you can control nit febrile excitement.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution und habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will ail equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. liy the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re ugent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All Materia, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and etfeot; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease toail who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting bettvei n op posites, there in in the preparation before us, offered to tlie public, The Natural Autidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact w ith it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to auy but the proprietor, tvlio distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly cheek the ague in persons who have suffered lie any length of Mine, from one day to twenty years, and by contiuniug ‘ s use, according to tile direc tions. a radical euro will be effected; the patient contin uing free front the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, aud when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility a<l Niglit Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede cinea. The patient at once begins to roever appetite aud strength, and continues to improve until rest ‘red to perffiot health. liy its use Fever and Ague may he banished from every lauiily and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And puisne 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 the year. Since the introduction of the CUrtK in every part of the United States, its stiedeas In s been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved tkoee assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the dale of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of too most candid uiiuus, because all the resources of science had been taxed In vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and wliat was still worse for ague sufferers, ul 1 their remedies or treatment, whetliei scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, stlch as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercery, Salicine, Ac. 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 .ire superadded to tlie 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 the Remedy is not only valuable on account of Its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Coulideuce, Because of its Singular aud Entire Harmlessness, Tlie following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists tn the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle: New York, June 11, 1555. “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 cither in it, nor have Hound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tho constitution. “JAMES R. Oil tl/i’ON, 3il. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, hut to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not mere valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the ono under consideration, if the medicine bo taken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an 1 the name cause, and therefore ali, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely uso of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tlie Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tho poison before it does harm. Full directions aud advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a disUuguishen 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 ant ihilious purgative. The very best thing for general uso 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 caitiveneps, itxt’sT he taken or the operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. OnJ y Caution. —Tu certain specified case?, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, and placo them iu sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, und also tlie air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud oestroy, to a degieo commensurate with its exp - sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise lie 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 Agee Cure” blown in tho glass, and on tlie outside wrapper,is the name of Hie medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tire signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent, counterfeits aud imitations. The reliance ror its sltcxss is kntireiy upon its actual merits, wheicver introduced and used.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Eept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an AGEE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit-—a few days since she got. a bottle of the Curo and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used tho same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So tar it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rov. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.

Respectfully yours. ’ ‘ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. It. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 18§J5. Your Ague Curo has overcome all prejudices fry its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who lias been fully cured by only one bottle, aud de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all 1 cun in its side. W. A. HAY’LES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tho CUBE, which is being intro duced as rapidly os possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New Y’ork, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to havo the Fever and Ague or not, just us 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 bo realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that tlie letters of which I publish *ii li immense quantities aro always new and late Gates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove tho fact of it greater suc cess and sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy. The Clowning Glory of Abe Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Tims protected liy using a buttle or two during tho 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, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric pcison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is alsomiequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to nil whose constitution* have been shattered or weakened by Ague or ifilkiu-, diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of Intemperance nr dissipation. .TAMED.
