NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, l’rrpmeil by N> W. Scat, M. D. Reasons why it should bo used instead of any other treut iticut in all Febrile affections ■ Ist.— Economy *f Time. —As only one-seventh us the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. ‘A<l.—Kconomy of Money. —As it ousts but one dollar. 3rd.-Kconomy of Keeling.— Ah it saves the suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses us ui edict no, their disagreeable operation, uuil the pain of long <x ntinoiniMit; but little es the fluid being necessary, •lid that pleasant in Its efforts. 4th. — Kconomy of Thought. —As when known, it will remove all dread anil annuity at present existing. respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. Dlh.- siconomy of Health. —As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by ciirouic disease. Oth. — Kconomy of Life. —As the cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all duugurofa fatal termination Other reasons might be added, hut those lire deemed siilllcieut to satisfy all clusses null persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly upplicaldo to the immediate treatment on the lirst attack, but will apply with equal force to ;os which have been subject ed In or have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the case at tile time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in alt ordinary casus, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tic y wor • not attacked with fever, and If so, “it was trilling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of consequence—lt would have passed off with out auylliliig—that medicine hail noeffect.” The general impression on the subject,of fever is such, tbit thoughts o il unlike tile above follow the cure of it common case as naturally as men think at nil; and it is not until Llie individual lias witnessed imuiy cases that lie can fully realise tin- truth; ami even then he may conclude them nil.very tiitling casus, which would have readily yielded lo any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have in ‘ii thus successful iu perhaps hundreds us cases, must expect that there will cases occur ivin-re there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though suceess.ui in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment ill such cases that i have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers in General* On this subject T wish to be fully understood. Jly the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the liuiiiun frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevurs; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, mid in quite dissimilar constitutions ami liublls, they 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 ui uudne excitement In tlio 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 I am not wholly alone iu the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, ol K mg's College, London, whoso work on the •• Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is u text bisik iu many of our medical colleges, aud consequently staiutaniauthonty (ill page 834. he says“ We hear continually, both iu and out of the profession, different species offerer spo knn of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, U isti'o-Finteiic, and SO forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all tins sulMlivisiou, is bad and hurtful, it on courages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe fur a disease according to its name.. There is no liue of genuine dislinetiou between Continued fevers, that can lie relied on. They run iuseusibiy into each oilier, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds ttie folly of hunting up or troubling youiself about a “ name;” if you have lever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any disUnctoharacter being devel oped, so as to oe properly muuod by the most scientific. Tilts assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed side of the sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself aud others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Dear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing und dangerous fevers, but as cases may have be come developed beforo the “ Fluid” is given, either by uegloot. er under some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible the primer course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the •• Rules” aud “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for ull those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten yean us ago 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 iu proportion. by observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable iu all of its effects, the expectations of (lie most sanguine realized, and mauy perfectly astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that tho full benefit of the medicine limy lie obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or RemlUent Fever.

As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being nil of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, witli a general great depression, there is no praclieal use in separating them—at.least so far n s mv treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when hilly developed, a little patience will be required- still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this hut a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. Tbe treatment should be commeno.-d—which may immediately follow any other without detriment with a teaspoonful ~r Fluid” every two hoars, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger iu volume, then to la. continued >nce in six or eight hours till the ftver entirely subsides I In bad cases, from throe to five groins each ol guiuine j and capsicum (Cayeuue pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) sties UI be added to each dose.

Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, anil 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 ol common fevers. Remember uovur wuit to learn the “ name” whether it is one or tho •other, or neither, as they sll commence with /ever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will IwbullitMe crujetio/i even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as i direct, will be. cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is. no vettssUg us its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, lon a l that 1 bold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that ui l’rof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: “You may abate tlio force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number oj the, p/u, tubes by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tho admission that it may be done. 1 nave Hot only proven it mug be., but has been dune in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. .See the account appended. Given teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of tiie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub sides—-though one 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, any us the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and iitucus were so much swollen that tiie patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tiie Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses euerg hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat wits reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in Hlsmt twelve hours by tiie Fluid alone. — Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle, iu ull such eases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tiie mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of it teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tlio Fluid will arrest it iu u short time, itslmuid be re peated as long as tho fever continues, as in other eases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a lew general remarks, which, if regarded by tiie laiiies, will save them much pain ami suffering. It is to inform thezo of the happy effect of tiie Fluid in inuuy of thoir trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one of the mbst convenient and effectual remedies formally of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known, its effect is uniform, relaxing tiie whole system, removing all excitability and i(’liability oi tlio nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet tiie system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; lienee its use iu so many eases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlio treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head.general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tiie condition called fever, or subdue aud control it under all circumstances, without regard to tiie name, it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control ull organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When sucli indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soliuM be given while giving the *• Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general ettect, besides no unnecessary lime will then he lost. As tho *,Fluid” ulono will sub due the fever, X call all else auxiliary treatment. If tiie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tiie first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended witli diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; ii 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 tiie part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tho feet in hot wator; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great sutfering, sponge or bathe tiie whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature; “tiie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in Inking effect, after which thi re will be no trou ble; if the patient lilts 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 inis become re duced; if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine w ill remain on tiie 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 has settled, give tiie “ Fluid” ami a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “Fluid” at the same time hs directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will he 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., us physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found mi such necessity when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of tiie different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— 1 ntlinrlics.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, aud many pills, antibilious, Ac,; anything known to lie good for such purposes. Heputiet. —Anything known to act on 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 iu connection witli the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliylliu—the fourth, mandrake root, and so 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 set or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents. —Such as check the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have tiie effect. Stimulants.— Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tho best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or loss stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though mutiv others are generally used, hut the Negative Eleetrie Fluid is a bettor “dia phoretic,” •• anodyne,” “diuretic,” -relaxant” and -• sedative” than known in tho materia rnedica. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on tiie Packet siiip Duehess D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinal-v certificates’ We, tho undersigned, certify to the'following, viz— ">’ took passage on tiie porketsliip Duchess d’Oricane Cant Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre ) i nee’ and iKWind for New York.

The great variety lit symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in ago, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers j but as the I cause is tho same, they will ull equally yield to a remedy l lint is competent U) 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 iu 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 the same in character anil effoot; is a poi son floating ui tiie atmosphere, causing disease toall wiio breathe it. in accordance witli those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, ottered to tiie public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the iioison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even iu tiie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, aud thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctlyduims the following extraordinary results from its use: It will instantly chock tiie 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, a radical cure will be effected; tlio patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon Hit- poison in the system, it w ill 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 Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede eines. T lie patient ut once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in tho community; farmers, me chanic;.. and all laboring people may be using Ibis arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from a; or bilious attacks during tho sickly season, wbicll is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CUBE in every part of tlio United States, its success lias boon so complete sind unvarying as” to have fully proved these assertions in favor iff its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tho most candid minds, because ail ilie resources of science had been taxed in vain lo subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all I heir remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. Tiie effects of these are sometimes worse than tiie disease they Hubdue. and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their jiois. nous effects are superadded to tlio poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague suifer-. rs .-dioiild be particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding tiie makers of them uniformly assert they may bo taken with perfect safety, even when it iz 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 lo cure diseases, but tliat it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular ami Kill ire Hannlessncss, Tiie following certificate from on of the most celebrated chemists ui the United Stales has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evei y bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. ’•1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have test-’ I 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 the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” it is a stubborn fhet, there fore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, hut tu 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 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 the medicine be taken in advance. Tli is is owing to the diseases being produced by one an 1 the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait lor tiie 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 liana. Full directions and advice us lo diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident iu a bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often bo found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, tiie object of which is to cleanse tiie stomach and free the biliary passages. Remember tliat where tliis is necessary, or there is costivoness, it must retaken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified ease.--, pour tiie contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and place them iu sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tiie air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is ovaporated,- will counteract aud i.cstroy, to a ilegiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tiie apartment. This mode of exhibiting tiie Cure should likewise he resorted to when very yomrg infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tiie words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aouk Curs” blown in the glass, and on the outside w rapper is tiie name of tho medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tiie signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its sure, ss is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent an order to Ames & Holliday for another half gross of your Feverand Ague Cure. Icliassold like “ Hot Cakes,” and 1 have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when 1 have heard of a oaso of Ague or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and teld them lo try it, aud if it did not help them, they wore not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. 1 had one case of Chill Fever where it run lour days, but the man came to see me on tlio sixth day well satisfied.

Rhodes —Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I 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 - iilferent remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal i .-grew worse until I 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. Washing y jur m nlicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Win. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that ho sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, aud we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public.— Odd Fellow, lloonsboro, MU. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman, Plymouth, Richlaud Cos., Ohio, Sept. 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 months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got ahottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a 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 vours, ‘ W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your 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. W. A.IIAYLES. 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. 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 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 be noticed that the letter's of which 1 publish su h immense quantities are always new aud late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Ci nwntiig 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 iu 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 poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quirk and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strengtli to all whoso constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
