NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,. Prepared by N. W. Seat, 91. D. Reasons why it should t>e lined instead of aiiyotlier treat ment iu all Febrile affection*; I at.—Economy of Time.—An only otMcgmU nf (lie ordinary time in required to effect a cure. ‘fil.-'Kcenoiny of Money. —An it c *ts but one dollar. 3rd.—Kconomy of Keeling.— An it nave* tbe suffering of a limit sicltnenn and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance f taking naunaatiiift dimes of medicine, tlieir disagreeable o|ieration, and the pain of long confinement: but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. 4-tli.— Economy of Thought.—As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. sth. —Kconomy of Health.— As the system in not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is thefover subject to lie followed liy chronic disease. Oth. — Kconomy of Life.—As the cure is effected before and without reducing tho patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might he added, but these are deemed sutttcient to satisfy alt classes am) persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons are 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 to th nature of the case at tbu time it is iirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual ami perma uent relief, In all ordinary oases, alien used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they luid been really ranch sick, and Very nutur.iliy conclude th y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling -a littl- cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of eensoqneiMe—it fgpuld have passed off with out anything—that medicine bid noeflect.” The general impression on the subject us fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above loilow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until Hie individual has witnessed uiMiy cases that lie can fully realise the truth; and even then lie may conclude them all icry ti illing case.-, wliii h would have readily yielded to any simple uietliciiia, yet persons.

To show that I am not wholly alone in llie opinion I alliance, I quote from the celebrnfcd I’rof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, whose work on the “ I’rlnei pies mi l Pracfii H of Physic” Is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently sluiidardauthiirUj).

Now, admitting that fever allows itself under various forms, I urn persuaded that ttie effect upon the mind of all this a. . -division, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pic scribu for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that ran he relied on. They run insensibly into each ether, even the most dissimilar of them, arid are often tiaceahlo to the same cause.” The above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the fully ‘if hunt'ug up or troubling yourself out a •'name;”'if you lnive fever, treat it at once as herenfter directed, awl you rill lie toell instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.

There is no particular Care necessary iu giving it to children—those of tou years of age frequently having taken 1 i doses: but for a little guide, 1 have given tho above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, i hlldreu require more than adults iu proportion. by observing the übovo directions, the medicine will be found agreeable iu all of Us effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realised, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full bonetlt of the medicine may lie obtained, and uot ou account of any actual netrstily of such strict ob servances.

Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upward, an l the patient is unt particularly susceptible to tho influe nee of medicine —not easily ojiorated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two toaspoousful may be given at lirst with advantage, and even repeated in two hour* —if it—the pulse—has not. been so/tened, thus showing tins medicine lias taken effect. llatking tiie surface with water at au agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect.

As the bowels r e generally routined, and i, is frequently very and ‘ioult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no tim could he lost to get them open, give some active’ cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may he neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also l>o used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities or friction (rubbing) with the hands or Haiinel; also, cold applications to the head.

As those fevers are u: of one chara ter, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse email and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no , .uetieal uso in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned, in these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patieuoe will lie requires!; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while w ith this hut a few days will be neeessa. , at longest to establish a permanent convalescence.

The | bowels should Is) kept gently open, nn) small portions ■ of somo hepatic should ho given occasionally, even ’ though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and inucilageuous drinks—ouch as are iu common use in such cases.— Where tho skin is v<uy dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will be ioiind advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever.

Variolu, Varioloid, Itnbeola and Scarla tina; or Sinali Pox, Varioloid, itlcaaleu, and .Scarlet Fever. As all ol these diseases me attended with lever, which iu fact is lire most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as Urey all commence vidh /ever, but treat it ut once; govern the O ver ami tliero will be no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in smull pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will he regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, tiiat small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will l/e cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there in no necessity of its running its ordinary course. ini this 1 will stake not only my reputation, bnl a 1 that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; tiiat ol Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “ You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, tt is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, .be.” Here is ttic admission that it may be dom .

Hoe tiie account appended. tiivo a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat t lie Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the fever sub siiios—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; hut it should he given and repealed sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of thu ordinary gargles may lie used, uud the surface bullied, as thought advisable. In one carte, on the ship Duchess d''Orleans, the tongue and faun is were so much swollen that the patient could nut HwnlliiWor speak, and ho was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, alien it was given In teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms di appeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in alaiiit twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wot tle< throat frequently, it iH 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 thu Negative hdectrle Fluid with such readiness, os to seem to lie of little eonsequcnce. A single dose or two of a toa-q>oi,nl ti I, almost invariably giving entire and pei moneiit relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as tho Fluid will arrest if in a rhort time. It should he re prated as long ns the f.'ver continues, ns iu other casus. The hii-.ve!s of course should |.o attended to. In coiniis’tion with this subject, I cannot refrain from Hoiking a lew general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save thorn much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect ol’ the Fluid in many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it, must tie tried to he 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 Ihe most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the Ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well us the circulatory, it will not lone sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally anil healthy; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis, 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 tint condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the numc it may beer ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot l ex pected to control ail organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should lie appropriate means, and these soliuld bo given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, wlion occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub due tho fever, i call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) witli the lirst doso, or soon after, and 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 relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ico water, if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe tlio feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great sulferiug, sponge or butlie the wlm|e surface with water at au agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tile medi cine in takiug effect, after which there will be no trou ble; if tho patient has 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 become 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 somo 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 tho “Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeod, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and thou 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 wlmt is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— t at tin i t tea,—Articles that purge or operate oil the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilions, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, jau tal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the ortides depended on by tho different schools for this purpose, w ill answer when used in connection with tho “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and lie suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such asquluiue, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Routt sec or tlmroughwnrt is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such as check the action of the bow els. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have 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 more or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are genet ally used, but the Negative Klectrie Fluid is t.ct'cr “dia phoretic,” •• anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” aud “sedative” than known in the materia in edict. I shall not tax tho reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Pncketshlp Ductless IVOrlcana. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz We took passage on tho paeketsliip Duchess d’Orlonns Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France’ and bound for New York. Stic sailed oil the 9th of Au gust, 1861. with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among tho emigrants, They wore all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. X. \V. Scat, with anew remedy ofl-.is own, which lie calls Negative Klec trie Fluid, witli which ho seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there were about eighty eases of small pox. some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced Hint tho medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of febrile affoctions being controlled with so much ease, promptness nml certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage, small pox and fever on board, and not a death! The fact speaks for itself. Signed, lh I'. Kauri, 84 Pearl street. Now York. 11. 0. Faoki. “ “ “ “ .1. A.

The great variety ot symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to ditiereuce in age, sex, couHtitution anti habits of the sufferers; but, as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove Uiat cause. liy the laws of Nature, every principle has its op|>oftite, and for every disease, or cause of iliseuse, there is a re agent, or br other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition ol animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is the same in character and effect; is a jM>i son boating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting betweefi op posites, there is iu the preparation before us, offered to the public, Tire Naturul 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 thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be 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 in persons who have Buffered 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 ; the patieut contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria slum hi mak 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 tin? disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Xight Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mede cines. The patient ut once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. Jiy its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in tbe community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pui sne their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, w hich is often to them tho most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CIIKE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its ext inordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse lor ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, Saliciuc, &e. The effects of these arc, sometime* worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, tlieir poi.s nous effects .ire superadded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret fr'ever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be takeu with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that tlieir potency depends solely U|)on destructive poisons. Now, as a proof tha ihoKetnedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Wortiiy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular anil Entire Iliii-mlessness, The following certificate from on of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to cveiy bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, anil have tested it for Arsenic, .Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have Ifound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to tho constitution. “JAMES R. ( ’ll 11,TUN, M. D., Chemist.” It i-s a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to tie unequally good work by preventing tiie taking of oilier medicines which do harm. Tho entire absence of tiny baneful ingredient makes this ltemo'iy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed ns the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. Tliis is owing to the diseases being produced by one and tiie 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 tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of lifo prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious cl:mate now accompany each bottie. It will often bo found necessary to precede this medi cine by a milil cathartic or antibilions purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor OH, the object of which is to cleans:: the stomach and free the biliary passages. Rcmcmlicr that wliero this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. —ln certain specified cases, pour tiie contents of one or more bottles of tho Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from tho medicine, and also tho air waited across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degree commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up liave the words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside w rapper is the name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and 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 ho considered sufiici nt.

Truly yours, LATIIROP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. 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 tho Isthmn if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th • different remedies and treatment 1 adopted, my heal i .'grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. — Since thnt 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, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady iu the family of a clergyman here lias been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for somo months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottie of the Cure and has not liad a chill siui-e. A young man also used tiie same Balsam some time without relief until he got abottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Y’onrs 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 threo 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, 1808. Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, anil given satisfaction. A gentleman just culled who lrns been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it lo everybody. 1 shall do all I can in its sale. ‘ W. 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 the United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. it. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tlie Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers arc those who a year ago wore reluctant even to take tho Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all, aud it will bo noticed that tho letters of which 1 publish su h immense quantities aro always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fillany newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess aud sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The 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 nml sickly sea sops, not a tuun woman or child ill the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Uilious or Yollow Fever, or any form of disease arising ftoui tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tho v are is a iierj'ect untidate. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whoso constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind ot intemperance or dissipation.
