NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Pirprd by N. W. Sfiil., M. U. Reasons why it should bn used instead of anyother treat ment In nil Febrile affection* ■ Ist.— Economy of Time. — A* only one-seventh. ; of the ordinary time Is required tboffbet a core. Econom yof Money.— Ah it costs but one dollar. 3rd.—Economy of Feeling— Ah it saves the suffering of n long sickness and tile consequent troat ■ueut; the annoyance oi talcing nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation- and the pain of long confinement; hot little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. ‘Mb. — Economy of Thought. —As when l.nowu, it will remove all dread anil anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly wli..a I a doar friend is sick. sth. — Economy of Health. —As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever • object to bo followed by chronic disease. tit h.—Economy of Life.— As the core is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, nil danger of a fatal [mini nation. Other reasons might be added, but those are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, bul will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed ‘o or have become reduced, corresponding of eourso to the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon idler the attack, persons can scarcely rcalj/. i that they nod been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli y wer 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 had noeflect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until I Ic individual lias witnessed many cases that lie can fully realize tlie truth; and even then he may conclude them all very tiitliug cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medieino, yet persons, though they have i'Oen Unis successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expert that there wil cases occur wli re there is some organic or iocal cause so great as to require particular attention, or Ihuugh success ill in reducing the fever, it wli! again rise us the influence of the “ Fluid'’ passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. Ii is to guard against desapiaiiutmeut lit such cases Hint I have given and frequently refer to what 1 have culled a “ synopsis.” , Hen.arks on Fevers In Uenerah On this subject I wish to tie fully understood. By the rerra “fevers,” I comprehend nil febrile affections to which the human frame Is subject, including siimll pox and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and ImbilH, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of terms or ty|ies; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that oi undue excitement in tlic circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or le. , unnatural fre quency in tlie pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility. Ac. Tr> show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I ■ Ivniico, 1 quote from the eolobrafed I’rof. T. Watson, of King’s College, hondou, whose work on the i'rirn i pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and conicquently stahdoi authority. <n page BR4, lie says:—“Wo hoar coriliniiall.v, both in and out of the profession, diil'eient species of fover spo ken of.

It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will south and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, l give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control ii under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to Is- culled, it should he given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, w lien such i—ist, must lie removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should lie appropriate means, and these sohuld lie given while giving tile “ Fluid,” and in connection witii it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, I).‘.sides no unnecessary time will then he lost. As tlie \ Fluid” alone will sub duo tile fever, i caff all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels aro costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended “ith diarrhu'u, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or iniliimmatiou, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or. perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tlie part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe (lie feet in hot water; if the lover is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie wdioie surface with water ut an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar ami water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief anil aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will lie no trou ble; it tlie patient lias been reduced or ic much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of lever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be 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 tuswer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat ail the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, nnd then you will lie astonished at tlie case with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know w hat is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians arc usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood bv all. i will name a tow of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— t'nt liui-t ic*.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, nntibiliuus, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatlrs.—Anything known to act on (lie 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 witii tlie “ Fluid” o'* while tlie system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—tho fourth, mandrake root, nnd so on; each may take his choice and lie suc cessful. Tussles.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots aud bitter horbs. Done set or thorougliwort is one of tho best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho bowels. Linda num Mid other preparations of opium arc used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. St tin iilain —Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; | ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more or less stimulating.

The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is tlie same,they will all equally yield ton remedy hat 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- I sition of animal aud vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in tlie atmosphere, causing disease tonll who breathe it. in accordance with those unalieruble laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tlie preparation before us, offered lo the public, The Natural Antlslotc to Malaria, which neutralizes tlie 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 health. Tlie remedy is believed to bo 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 iu persons who have euth red for any length of nine, Irom one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will bo effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless sobsequvn 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, and when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility anil Sight Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other inede cines. 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 bo Banished from every family and class in tlie community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may bo 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 lliu CUKE in every part of tho United States, its success has been so complete aud unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at llio date of its introduct on, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all ihe resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious di.,rase*; and wliat was. still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or i Hipirical. have -bein', limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine. Mercury, SaliCinc, &c. Flic effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, aud when sfirli remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, then- poisonous effects are superadded to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On tli in account ague sufferers should he 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 poteucy 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 Piiblic Confidence, Because of its Hiugtilar and Entire Harmlessness, The following certificate from om of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to ovei y Lott le : New York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Agile 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 any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tlie constitution. “JAMES It. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist,” It so a stubborn fact, there Tore, that this Remedy is destined not only to roiieve tho human family from malarious diseases, hut to and unequally good work liy preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. Tlie 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 the oue under consideration, if tlie medicine ho taken iu advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tlie timely use of this 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, aud so destroy the poison before it docs harm. Eli 11 directions and advice us lo diet and habits cf life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each buttle. It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to e'eansv the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it sicst re taken or tho operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one cr 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 tho air waiieil across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiec commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise ho resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho words, ‘•Rhodes’ F'kver and Aoib Gere” blown in tho glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of tho proprietor. Tin .sc precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its sveokss u entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will be considered sufficient. Prepared aud sold by tlie pro; a iTor, JAMES A. RIIODi S. Providence, 1!. TANARUS, F’or sale in Columbus by KlY'f.l N.

Since then 1 have disposed of a large quantity, mostly to residents ot this city, who have inva riably been cured by it, aud to whom J enu refer. 1 am, therefore, satisfied in recommending it to bo all that the proprietor represents.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but Worthy woman, who has not been fre e from Fever and Ague a mouth at a time for the last twelve years, I sup pled her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure. Bim took iu all four bottles which completely re stored her to health and strength, and as four months ha-e now elapsed, there i no reason to doubt the perma nency of the cure. C. A. P.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:— l have just sent an oiler to A.nes H ifolliday for another half gross of your Fever aud Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,” and I have only two liotties on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, i have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it. and they were all satisfied. 1 had one ease of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the mail came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied.

Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, 1 take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal i .'grew worse until 1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. — Since that time I have not liud a single chill, and am now in tlie enjoyment of good health. YYishing yjur malicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS U. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir —I cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergym m here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” lor some mouths without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and litis not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam sojne time without relief until he got a bot tle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Y'ours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Piasolicltetl Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1865. J. A.

Respectfully yours, W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. K. K., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Vour Ague Cure has 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. YY. A. HAYLES. 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 tho United States, Canadas, he. Tlie eminent chem ist. I)r. J. K.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It Is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague nr 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 ou commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all. nnd it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish ru h immense quantities nre always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove tlie fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. THc 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 man woman or child in tlie United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Y'ellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from ttie atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. it is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all w hose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious disease's, ulglit sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of Intemperance or dissipation.
