NEGATIVE ELECTRIC IfLUID,
Prepared by N. W. Seat, 11. D.
Keaaous why It should bn used instead of any other treat
ment in all febrile affection* :
tat—Economy of Time. —A# only one-seventh
of the ordinary time is required to offset a cute.
A tl.—Economy of Money.— A# it costs but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feellngi—Ati it suves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consoquont treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, tlieir disagreeable onoratiou, and tbo pain of
long continual, at; but little of the fluid being necessary,
aud that pleasant in its effects.
4th. — Economy of Thought. —As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety a. present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
s dear friend is nick,
sth. Economy of Health. —As the system
Is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chrome disease.
6th. — Economy of lulfe.—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 la> added, hut these arc deemed
auttlcient to satisfy nil elusses aud persons in all condi
tions of life.
Tho above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on tho tlrst attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed lo or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to the nature of the case lit the time it is first adminis
tered.
As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual aud perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon af.cr
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they bail
been . rally much siek, and very naturally conclude th y
wer • not attacked with fever, aud 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 anything—that medicine had no effect.” 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 un il
the Individual has witnessed many casestlmt lie can fuhy
realize the truth; ami even then he may conclude them
hII very t illing cases, which would have readily yielded
lo any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cas s, must
expect that there will cnees occur wil l'd there is seme
organic cr local causa so great rs to require particular
attention ni though sue ■•■*# ui in reducing the fever,
it will again ri<n as the influence of the “Fluid” pusses
oft', as the exciting cruise limy sclll exist. It is te guard
ngainst disappointment in stun ruses that 1 have given
and frequent ly refer to what I have railed a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers lu General-
On this subject 1 wish to he fully understood, iiy the
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend uli febrile affections to
which the human fl ame is subject, including smnli pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, aud in quite dissimilar constitutions
aud hubiiu, tin y of course differ considerably In tlieir
development and exhibit a variety of form# or types;
yet all are distinguished by the saino general character
istic* —that ol undue excitement in the circulatory aud
nervous systems—inducing more or len unnatural fre
quency ill the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am hoc wholly alone in the opinion I
ml vanes, X quote from tho celebrated I’rof. T. Watson,
of King s College, London, whose work on tho “ I‘rinol
pies and practice of I’hysio” is a text book in many of
our medical college#, aud consequently slamlanlaui horii y.
‘•n page 834, he says:—“We hear con tiuuall v, both in
and out of the profession, different species < f fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Favor, how Fever, Nervous Fever,
ho. And systematic w rit. are to the full as particular:
Vlucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gautro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now. mhoitliug that fever- shows itself under
various forms, l am persuaded that the effect u|kjh tiie
Wind of all tiiis sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe lor a disease according to its name. There is no
lino of genuine distinction between Continued fevers,
that can he relad au. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
lire above is a great tact, one worthy of remembrance
and X would impress on your miud# the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, und you
will tie well instead of any distiuctcharucter being devel
oped, so as to he pro|>erly named by the most scientific.
This assertiou is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience ut. the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands ut cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climate... Bear tiiis in mind,
and treat at onco without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all drwu.il of linger
ing aud dangerous fevers. liot as eases may havebe
oome developed before the “ Fluid” Is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly os possible the proper course lo U> pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ llules”
and “ Synopsis” will he amply autHrieut tor all those
accustomed to attendance upon the siek.

As all of these diseases are atteuded with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs line little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn tho “name,” whether ills one or tho
other, or neither, us they all commence Until fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will bo no
trouble; there will be hut UUle eruption even in small
pox. Tills, to most luin.ls, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be legardea with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated us
I direct, will be sal mart; attended with but littl erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course, un this 1 will stake
■lot only my reputation, but a.l that J hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that oi
I’rof. VVatsou, previously quoted, 110 says, page ts 74:
“ Vou may abate the force of tbe eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of Jie pustules by
spline purges, he.” Here is the admission that it may
be done. I navo not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous eases that occurred m board
ship. Bee tho account appended.
(Jive a teaapoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the ease, with a dose of salts or Castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the teversub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should be given anil repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles limy be used, and tiie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
1 u one case, on the ship Duchess d’Oi h-aus, the tongue
ami fattens were so much swollen that Uie patient could
not swallow or speak. and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given iu teaspooulul doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tho Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the
bed, gurgle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretoiore pain till, dangerous mid alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tho
Ncga.jve Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
tcospooiiful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated us long on the fever continues, os in other cases.
The bowels of course should bo attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 caunot refrain from
making ft few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of tlieir trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
aud difficulties; it must be tried to b ■ appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved ut once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is oue of the most convenient and
effect uni remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tho most so of any 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, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that ono can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in so many eases.
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 t lie Negative electric Fluid
will clinugo tho condition called lever, or subdue aud
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name, it may boor ought tq be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
W hen kucli indication!* occur in any case, they should
he appropriate means, and thoso soliuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
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 the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat tho 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
(lain or intiuminution, 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 bend, apply cold water, ice water,
convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tho f-t in hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saliuo wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
Wilier, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, alter which there will be no trou
ble; It the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics aud stimulants, particularly in Low
levers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he
allayed before any medicine will remain on tiie stomach
to do any goad; lor this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose? when the
stomach has settled, give tho •• Fluid’ and a euthurtic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at tho same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till vou
have seen, and then you will he astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
1 ai ties may feel at a hiss to know wli.-it is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found no such necessity
When using tho Fluid, and to l>e fully understood by
all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to. viz.:—
Cut hui’tics.—Articles that purge or operate on tiie
liowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, an v of the roots
or harks, and many pills, untibilieus. Ac.; anything
known to he good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver
IMrticulaiTy, (Hirtal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for ~i i“ purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while tbe system is under its In
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another. Iff no
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take Ins choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quiuine, various harks, voots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thorough wort is on# of tho best used in fevers.
Astringent.*.— Such as check the action of tho
bowels. Lauduuum ami other preparation# of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
Stiinnlants.— -Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac,, the emences nro ail more
or loss stimulating. These are the only classes neceasa
ly ill treating fevers, though iiuiuv ethers are s-ei’etnllv
used, lint the Negative Electric Fluid |, „ laq-er “dia
phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
sedative than known in tho materia medica.

WHICH iIAVB A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MALARIA 014 MIASMA.
riMIESS diseases tire common to many localities of the
JL L'uited States; but wherever they prevail, North,
south, E-istor West, they all equally spring from the
same miasuial cause. 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 ilie
causa is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the law# of Nature, every principle has 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
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or eve:, newly
cleared lauds, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son Boating in tho 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
the public,
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes t!io poison whenever it conies in con
tact with it, even iu the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purifies ihe system affected by it of its
baneful inliuence, and thus restores and preserves
heal til.
The remedy i believed to he entirely new, anti un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly cheek the ague iu persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, tupi by’ continuing it use, according to the dircc
lions, a radical cure w ill tie effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure I . malaria should inuk its use again necessary.
iu its operation niton the poison iu the system, it will
immediately relieve all tbe distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, aud when tbe disease Is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility uml Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mode
dues. 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 the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti
cle as u
Preventive,
And pursue fin ir 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
your.
Since the introduction of tho CUKE iu 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 extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
tiie most candid mitidk, because all she resources of
science had been taxed in Vain lo subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what Was still worse for ague sufferers,
all tlieir remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
dings, Midi as Ars’ nlc,'Quinine, Mercury, Sulicinc, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and wfieti sueli remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their puis nous effects are superadded
to the pour sufferer’s first complaint.
Oil this 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‘potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the iiemedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, hut that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because ol its
Singular anil Entire Ilormlessuess,
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 eveiy bottle:
•New Yoke, June 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
und Ague Cure, or Antidote to .Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine, and Strychnine, but
have nut found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found
any substance in Its composition (hat would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMBS R. CHILTON, M. I)., Chemist.”
It i( a stubborn lacs, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only’ to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, hut to do an eqnully good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
tiiis Remedy not more valuable as aCure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and
the same cause, and therefore aft, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely uso
of this preventive, and not w ait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop icselt in a violent
attack. Take tho Cure as a preventive, and so uestroy
the ]>oisoii 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 he found necessary so precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. Tho
very best thing for general m.is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must r.E takcn
or the operation of the antidote will be seriou.-ly ob
structed.
Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour
tbe contents of one or more bottles of tiie Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,, and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air watted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate witli its expo
sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the (Jure should likewise bo
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the
words, “Rhodes’ Finer and Aauc. Cure” blown iu the
glass, aud cn the outside w rapper is the name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tho
rignature of the proprietor. ‘These precautions me
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance tor its secures is entirely upon its
actual MERITS, wherever introduced aud used. These
will be considered sufficient.

who are afflicted, to use one that con tains articles oi
Real Use in J'tdmauory Diseases. !am conscious that in
so doing, lam ailing most uuprofcssfomdly.and deroga
torily to tiie interests of .Medical Science uml the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. 1 refer to Woodman’s Cherry

of New Fork ciev. in saver of iiliudss’ Fever and Aguo
Cure, that it contained neither Quinine, Ajsenlc, Mer
cury nor Strychnine, and having receiv'd numerous ap
plications for it, 1 was induced to bend to Dr. Rhodes
for the medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, w ho have inva

therefore, satisfied in recommending it to bv all that

James A. Rhodes, i;sq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent
au order to Ames A llallitlay lor another half gross of
your Fever auu Ague Cure. It lias sold like” Ilutt'akcs,”
and I have only two bottles on baud. One reason it
has sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and tc-Id them to try
it, and H it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, aud they were all satisfied. 1 liad one ease
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on tbe sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN I’. GLADDING.

We remain respectfully’ yours,

Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure iu 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 tli • aift'erent remedies
and treatment T adopted, my heal i.'grevv worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever uud Ague Cure.—
Since that time I have not had a single chill, and sun

In another column of to-day’s paper will he found an

We are not in the habit of puffing 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 cure. This proves the medi
cine to be good, and wo take pleasure in bringing it

Evidence from a Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Nept. 25,1555.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
tho 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 Curo aud has not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until lie got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Y'ours truly,
Kev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Pliysician.
MONTIPELLO, Did., Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes—Dear Fir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here for about throe years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and proscribed it in a number of instances with
perflict success. Respectfully yours.
W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. K. R., (la., Jan. 1, 1850.
Your Ague Cure has overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just culled
who lias 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. 11AYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as rspidlv as possible in', o every town and village
in the United states, Canadas, Ac. The eminent chem
ist., Dr. J. it. Chilton, of New Y’ork, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and A-m-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 ils great
claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will be noticed that the letters
of which 1 publish mi h immense quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any uewjiapor, and prove the tact of a greater suc
cess and sale than everattended any other Ague Remedy.
Tiie 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 the United Stateß
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 quick and permanent effects
us a Restorative, giving new life and streugtli to all
Whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
