Other reasons might he added, hut these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. ‘i'hu above reasons arc more particularly applicable to j the immediate treatment on the first atturk, hut 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 time It is tirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief. 11l all ordinary eases, when used soon after the attack, persons tan scarcely realize that they hail been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y wer, nut 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 had uoeffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, Hint thoughts not unlike the above fallow the Cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until tile individual has witnessed many coses that he can fully realize the truth; and even then ho may conclude them all very t,tiling cases, which would have readily yielded to auy simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful In perhaps hundreds of cases, must cJtpeet that there will coses occur win re there is some erg&nic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success nl in reducing the fever, it will amtir. rise os the influence of the “fluid” passes oil', as the exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard against disappointment in Kuru casus that I have given aild frequently refer to what I have called u “synopsis.” Htuarktou Kevcrs in General* Ou this subject 1 wish to be fully understood, iiy the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human lVauto is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions und habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all lire distinguished by the same general character istics—that oi undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that l uni not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, ot Kiug's College, London, whoso work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic"’ is a textbook In many of cur me' 1 cal loib-ges, and consequently U.mtlanlauthority. Hu page 634, lie says:—“Wo hear continuolii, both in ..nd out ot the profession, different species of fever spo ken of.

And systematic writers arc to the full at, particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, tiiistro-Hulcric, ami so forth. Now, oduitting that fever Blmws itself under various forms, I urn persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all ibis sub-o.vision, is bad aril hurtful. It encourages a disposition, “lreudy too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied ou. They run insensibly into each id her, 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 1 would impress ou your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you,self about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, anil you Mill be we II instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most seientifle. fliis assertion is no hypothesis based ou closet specula tions or visions of mind, but ou experience at the beil bide of the sick, ill hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and ethers) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, aud treat at once vithout regard to mime, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and daugorous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the “ 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 “ Kules” aud “ Synopsis” will be amply sufliciunt for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever lies passed off, or enough to occasion their to speak of it, they should have a little wtue, todily, camphor, liartshor", lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some ot-ier stimulant; or the face and breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, us i general rule, as much as mules. There is no particular earn necessary in giving it to children —those often years of ago frequently having taken full doses ; but for a little guide, I 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 iu all of its effects, the expectati’ I of the most sanguin. realized, and in auy perfectly astonished.

Vail.Hu, Vurloloid, RuDeoln and Scarla tina; 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 “ii,” 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 bo Inti little eruption 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, wiU be cut short; attended with hut little erup tion ; little or uo pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this i will stake not only my reputation, but a I that X hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; tiiat of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. Ho says, page 874; “Ton may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, vile number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tiiat it may he done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous cusos ibat occurred on board ship. See till) account appended. Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of the cahe, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tue fever sub sides—though out) or two doses is genera ly sufficient; hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, auy of the ordinary gargles may be used, anil the surface bathed, as thought advisable. Iu one case, ou the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and Annuls were so much swollen that the patient could uot swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when It was given in teaspoouful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour ishment in abont twelve hours by the Fluid alouo.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargU Iu all sucli cases. Puerperal or CUiltlbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonlul, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should be re peated us lour, tv* tile fever continues, as in other cases. Tile bowels of course should be attended to. Iu connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and Buttering, it is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid iu many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to bo appreciated.— l’ainful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring, Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, tt is one of the most cunvenientand effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most soofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory, it will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet the system so tiiat one can sleep naturally anil healthy ; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, anil 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 the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may he or ought to he called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, wiien such exist, must he removed iu order to effect a permanent cure. When such iudicutious occur iu auy case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving tlio “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when occasion req -ires, 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 due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the tirst dose, or soon ufter, anil should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relievo that condition ; ,f severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the pint; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, Ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tile feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry aud hot, with greut Buttering, sponge or bathe 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 cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fover or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, tiiat must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any goad; 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 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 “Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; in leed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. I have found so such necessity when using tlio Fluid, and to bo fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cat hartics. —Articles tiiat purge or operate ou the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, auy of the roots or barks, and many pills, untibilious, Ac.; anything known to lie good for such purposes. Hepatlca.—Anything known to act on the 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 the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, |mdopliyllln—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take ltis choice and be sue ctetsful. Tonics.—Articles that giro tone or strength, such os quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or thorough wort is oue of the best used in fevers Aat .'lug, ut a.—Such ns check the action of tho bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which hare the effect. Stimulants. —Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all moro or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is bet'er “dia phoretic,” “anodyne.” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in tho materia medico. I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly oh tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one Instance of success, that on the Packetslitp Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: Me, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz— M e took passage ou the packotsliip Duchess d’Orleaus Uapt Hutton, then lying In the port of Havre.

T t MlKrfK diseases are common to many localities of tho X United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, Fast or M eat, they all equally spring from tile same luiasmal cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, Bex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy tiiat is competent to overcome or remove tiiat 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 speeilic remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal aud vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to tlie public, Tire Natural Antidote to Malaria. which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con tact with 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 houl til. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraoi dinary results from its use : It will instantly chock tho ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from oue day to twenty years, aud by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected; tho patie-'t contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should lake its use again necessary. In its operation upon she poison iu the system, it v.iil immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Alight Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other uiede- cines. The patient at once begins to reevor 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, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of tlie United States, its success inis been so complete aud unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at tlie date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tlie most candid minds, because all ihe resources cf 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, Mercury, Suliciuo, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than tlie disease they subdue, aud when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their puis, nous effects are superadded to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On tiiis account ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert they may lie 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 aud Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from one of tlie most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, aud a copy of it is attached to evei y boti lu; N i.w York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of lthodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, aud have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine aud Strychnine, but have uot found a particle of either in it, nor have lfound ary substance in its composition tiiat would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CIULTON, M. D., Chemist.” it is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human famiiy from malarious diseases, but to do un equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. Tlie entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remeily not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if tlie medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tlie diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tho Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. 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 antibilieus purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember tiiat where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must he taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of oue 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 wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud uestroy, to a deg.ee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles iu which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cube” blown in the glass, and ou the outside wrajqier is the name of tlie medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) aud the signature of the 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 bo considered sufficient.

Some who have been troubled with the distress ing disease have been entirely cured by using only one bottle of the Cure. Please send ns immediately four dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure iu assuring you of the eenefit it lias been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Istbmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th < different remedies and treatment 1 adopted, my heal i jgrew worse until T commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur midicine the success that it merits, 1 remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will he found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of putting medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a enre. This proves the medi linetohe good, and we take pleasure iu bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, Jloonshoro, Md. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Slept. 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 “ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Curo and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Curo. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from n Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 18 55. 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 lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. ‘ \y. A. lIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible in'o every town and village in the United States, Canadas. &c. The eminent chem ist. Dr. J. K.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on- commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all. and it will he noticed that the letters of which I publish su li immense quantities arc always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the tact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended liny other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glory of the Cure is ils HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its tree use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly’ sea sons. not a titan woman or child in the United i-tates would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antid tie. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all w hose constitutions have beeu shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility orany kind of intemperance or dissipation.
