I have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers iu General* On this subject I wish to be fully understood. By tin* uitin “lovers,” l comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame in subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great Variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet ail art distinguished by tho same general character istics—that oi undue excitement in tho circulatory and norvous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency iu tiio pulse, sense of lieat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. ‘to show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion 1 i.dvaiicu, I quote from tho oclehrnfcd I’rof T. Watson, ut King's College, London, whose work ou tho “ I'rinci phis and Practice of Physic” is a text book In many of oqr medical colleges, and consequently staeuiunlauthco'ity. do page 834, he says :—‘We lieqr conti mi all*, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. liy tlie public, Typhus Fever, Itrain Fever, Itiiions Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever. Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (iaslro-Kntcric, and no forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded that tho effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bud and hurtful. It encourages a dispusitiun, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, Urut cun lie relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Thu above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds tiie folly of limiting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, tru.it it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to bo property named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bod- Mil of the sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Dear tills in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured yon will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases mav have be come developed before tile “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe an briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of tho most prominent fevers, though tho” Rules” ami “ Synopsis” will Im* amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

As tiles** fevers are all of one character, differing mainly In degree, buiug all of a low grade, tin* pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as m.v treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, s little patience will be required; still comparatively little. they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this but a few days will b necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. Thu treatment should be commenced—which nrav immediately follow any other without detriment with Uteospoonful of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger iu volume, then to be continued I nee iu six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. | Iu bud cases, from three to tivo grains each of (fiunirte aud capsicum (.Cayenne popper) or some tome aud slimu laut (see auxiliaries) should he milled to each dose. The bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even though the bowels should bo vory loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and muctlagebons drinks—such as are in common uso iu such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surlace as di rected iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever.

Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: ••You may übate the force of llio eruptive lover, and keep down, it is belie; ed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tho admission that it may lie done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred ou board ship, rioo Hie account appended. (live a teaspoonful or more, according to tiro urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, uulil tiro fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should bu given and repeated sufficiently to keep tho fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. I u one case, on the ship liuehess d’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tiro Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when ii was given in teaspounfui doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment iu ulwut twelve hours by tho Fluid alone.— Used to Wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases.

This heretofore painful, dangerous and churning malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem to l*e ol” littlo consequence.

It should bo re peated as long as tho fever continues, as iu other cases. The bowels of coursn should bo attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a 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 tiie 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 he tried to be appreciated.— l’ainful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com mon dose undroUring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one id’ the must convenientuud effectual remedies lor many of the ills of females, if not tiie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tiie whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility of the nervous as well as tiie circulatory. It Will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use in so mauy cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tiie treat ment ns much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for ail cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tho condition called fever, or subduo and control It under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be Or ought to he culled, it should l*e 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 iu order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, aud these soliuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection witii it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then ho lost. As the *, Fluid” alone will sub due the lever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) witii tho first dose, or soon after, ami should it fail to operate in duo time, repeat tho dose; if attended with diarrluca, givo something known to bo good for that complaint, though if caused hy 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, iKu haps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet in hot water; If the fever is very high, skin dry au*+-"Jiot, with grout suffering, sponge or bathe tiie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “tho saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either wj 11 afford great relief aud aid the medi cine in taking effect, after which there will lie no trou ble; if tiie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absenco of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the •• Flflid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, g’iviug tiro “Fluid” at tin* same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and thon you will be astonished at tiie ease w ith which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant liy 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 lew of tho different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tho roots or barks, and many pills, antihilious, Ac.; anything known to bo good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act ou thF 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 with the “Fluid” or while the 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 be suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone er strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Hone set or thoroughwort is one of the best used iu fevers. Astringents.—Such as chock the action of the bowels. I,auilanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, w hich have the effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tho best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences lire all more or less stimulating. These are tin* only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others ore generally used, tail tiie Negative Electric Fluid is a l*ct'cr “dia phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” ami “sedative” than known in the materia medico. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs* depending mainly on tho results ot‘ a trial, ami will only refer to one instance of success, that on tho Pncketslilp Duchess D’Orlrnns, which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz— We took passage ou the paoketship Liuehess d'urloans Capt Ilutton. then lying in the port of Havre, France ami bound for New York.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ;hc thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under tile titles of bursapurillas, Pills, Plasters- Liniments, Ac., that are daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by way of advertisements.
