NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, | Prepared by N. W. beat, M. D. Kcmiona why it should be used instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affection* : Ul.-F.roiioiuy of Time. —A* only one-seventh of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. Bd.—Economy of Money,—As it Cost* but one dollar. ;ird.-Economy of Feeling.--Ah It naves the suffering of a l"ng inclines* cud the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and tho pain of long confinement; but little ot the fluid being n-cessary, and that pleasant in its effects. 4-tb.—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. ftth.— Economy of Health. —As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to lie followed by chronic disease. Oth.—Economy of fsife. —As the cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in acorres|iondlng degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. Tho above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on tiie first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the case at the time it is lirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, In all ordinary oases, when used Siam after the attack, persons i-au scarcely realize that they had been really much sl ‘k, anil very naturally conclude th y wore not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of censequence—ft would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that though.* c i unlike tho shove follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until tile hi lividiml has witnessed many sates that be tan fully realize tliotiuih; and even then lie may conclude them ill ‘.ury tiltling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple mediciue, yet persons, though they have been thus st. cos-:ul in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local rauee so great os to require particular attention, or though success ul in reducing the fever, it trill again rio- us the Influence of tiie “Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard Against disappointment in much canoe that 1 have given and frequently refer to what I have culled a ‘■synopsis.” Remark.* on Fevers In General* Ou tliis subject 1 wish to be fully understood, ily the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile Affections to which the human fri me is subject.

To snow that I am not wholly alone in tiie opinion I advance, I quote from tiie celebrated Prof. T. Watson, ot King s College, London, whose work on the “ I'rinci ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our niodical colleges, and consequently standurd authority. lin Inge Slit, he says“ Wo hear continually, both iu and out of the profession, fferent species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. Aud systematic writers urc to the full as particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tiie mind of till this sub-division, is bail anil hurtful, it encourages a dm, osltlou, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no linu of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They run Insensibly into each oilier, even the most dissimilar of them, and me often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great, fact, oue worthy of remembrance and I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling youisolf ulaiut a “name.;” if you have lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, aud you Mill be well instead of any distiuetchiiracter being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by tiie most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula tions or visions of miml, but on experience at tho bed side of tiie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself anil others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seusons mid climates. Bear tiiis in mind, and treat at ouce without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers, liut as coses limy have bo come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in nil of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Uules” end “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for ail those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

It must lie continued whenever tiie fever subsides, or is evideutly passing off’; to be resumed when it begin* to rise again, should aucli be tiie ease under any circumstances. 4th. When tho fever begins to subside, patients must be lefi perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should uot be questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, road or take any exercise whatever, till tiieir own natural Jetting*, independent of all oxti..- neous influences, iniiuce them to rise or speak ; nor should ally conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu which they may feel more or less interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. Oth. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desiro. Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so its to occasion a restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should hat e a little wine, toddy, Camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tiie face and breast may be lathed in cold water; cither of which will give immediate relief.

If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated or continod, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Whore the fever is very high, prtlse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the inti mure es medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoouaful cany be given at first with advantage,and even repeated in t-vo hours—ls It—the pulse—has not been iafttnrd, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. 11.,thing ,( ie surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and nid the medicine much In taking effect.

As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to gel moliriue to operate in this disease, no time should be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeal as may be neces sary till It operates; enemas (Injections'! may also lie used to advenlage; also, mustard to the extremities, or fiction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head.

A* those fevers are all of one character, differing uiaiuly In degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse mall and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In those low fevers, when fully developed, a l ittl- patience will lie icquirtxl; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, wb :, a with this but a few days will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence.

Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surlace as di- I rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced.

Give n teaspoouful of tiie “ Fluid” every two hours, with a wino-glmisftil of a strong decection of bonevet; or half the quantity may bo given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The bonsset tea should begi.en warm till tiie Tin at symptoms are allayed, or the ;siliciit is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard piaster, or something ol the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open.

Keninmber never wait to learn the •‘name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with Jeter, but treat it at once; govern tho fever mid there will be no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, uud doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless Ixildly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated os I direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, anu that there is no nspsssUy of Its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, but a.i that 1 bold most dear; ts'.si.h-H. ou this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page bis: “Von may abuiu tiie force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number nj the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tout it may be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has been done iu numerous eases that occurred ou board ship, bee tiie account appended. (live a teaspoouful or more, according to tiie urgency oi’ the case, with a dose of cults or casto: oil; rejient tiie Fluid mire in two hours il necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is geiieru ly sufficient; but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep tiie fever unu< r control. When the throat is affected, any of tiie ordinary gargles may bo used, uud tiie surface bathed, us thought advisable. In one case, on tiie slop Duchess d’Urltans, I lie tongue and faueiin weie so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, und lie was cured by dropping the Fluid ou ilia tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, wlicu it was given iu teaspoouful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tiie swelling of the throat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wei the tliront frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle iu all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tho Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a tt-Hspooiiful, almost invariably giving entire aud per manent relief; no alarm need be euterluiued, as tile Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re pouted as long as the fever continues, as in other eases. The bowels of course should be attended to. in connection witli tins subject, I cannot refrain from making a few generul remarks, which, if regarded by tiie ladies, will save them much pain und suffering. It is to inform them of tho happy effect e s the Fluid in many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and liiffi'ulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved ai ouee by a com mon dose ami retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or u cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one of the 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 tiie nervous as well ns tho circulatory, it will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth uud quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases. Hynopsls. To avoid constant repetition, aud condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As tiie Negutivo Electric Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the r.ame it may Nor ought to lie 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 be removed in order to effoct a permanent cure. When sueli indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while giving 'lie “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when occasion requires, a* they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will t hen be lost As the % Fluid” alone w ill sub due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended “■ilb diarrluea, give something known to be good for that, complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local paid or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, pi.haps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, icu water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hut water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great Buffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at au agreeable temperature; “tiie saline wash,” vinegar nud water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi cine in taking effect, liter which there will be no trou ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give touics 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 ou the stomach to do any good; for 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 the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as yon would under any other circumstances, giving the “Fluid” at the same time as directed, aud success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you Imve Been, and then you will bo astonished at tho ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries, Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant bv cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to bo fully understood by all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz;— Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such a. castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, aud many pills, untibiLous, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Ilepattcs.—Anything known to act ou the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the - Fluid” or while the system is under its iu ttuence. And one may choose calomel— auotlior, blue mass—the third, podophylliu—tho fourth, mandrake root, ami 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 so: or thoroilghwort is one of the best used iu fevers. Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, mauy mixtures, not properly aetriugent* which havb the effect. Siimu lmt *.-Articles that raise or exci'o the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less Stimulating.

United States; but wherever they prevail, North, South, Lust or West, they all equally spring from tho same miasmai cause. The great variety of symptoms and terms of disease is owing principally to difference iu age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but u* tiie cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove tluit cause. By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. Ail Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, (stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lauds, is the same iu character and effect: is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to II who breathe It. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is In Die preparation before us, offered to tbe pub'ic, Tiie Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralizes the poison whenever it conies in con tact wiili it, even in the open air, and when taken Inter nally completely purifies the system affected bj it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to bo entirely new, and un known to any but tiie proprietor, who distinctly claims tiie followingcxtraordi:i..i , y results from Its use : It will instantly chock the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of lime, from one day to twenty years, amt by continuing its use, according to Hie direc tions, a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. ) n its operation upon llie poison iu the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and when tbe disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility und Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cities. The patient at ouce begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Finer and Ague may he banished from every family and class In tho community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pur sue their respective avocations iu perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete und unvarying as to have fully proved tin su assertions iu favor of its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were mado, attire date of its iiitroduet on, they seemed incredible to muuy, even of the most candid minds, because all llie resources of science had been taxed iu vain to subdue ague or bill* .s diseases; and alia! \as still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsen.c. Quinine, Mercury, Eaiicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when sueli remedies fail, or give only temporary relief,,their pels nous effects .ire superadded to the poor sufferer’s fiist complaint. Ou this account ague sufferers should be 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 Remedy is uot only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Wortlxy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular ami Entire Harmlessness, The .ollowiiig certificate from oil. of the most celebrated chemists m tue United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to eveny bottle: New York, June 11, 1856. “1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, .Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of i iilier in it, nor have J found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CIIILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It i- a stubborn foot, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the liumau family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any btiliolul ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, tliun it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed us 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 all, both residents ami travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wail for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itselt in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so itastroy the poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished r hysiciun long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany ouch bottle. it will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or anti bilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate doso of Castor Oil, the object of which is to c.cause the stomach and free tho biliary p-stages. Remember iliat where this is necessary, or there is custivoness, it most retaken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates, and placo them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor vising from the medicine, and also the air waited across, or circulated over tho dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy,to a degieo commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tbe Cure should likewise be resorted to when vary young Infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Aoi e Core” blown in tho glues, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tho medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of tho proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced aud used. These will bo considered sufficient.

Plymouth, Richland Cos., uhio, Sept. 26, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the iamily of a elergym iu here has been taking an “AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and 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. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.

If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every Dottle of tho CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible in'.o every town and village in the United Slates, Canadas, Ac. The cinineut 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 I hat 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 claim! and pretensions could not be realised.’ Now they endorse them all. and it will be noticed that tho letters of which ] publish su h immense quantities are always now and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, ami prove tho fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. Tlie CrownlngGlory of the Cime is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use os a preventive.
