It is to guard against disappointment in sum cases tluit 1 have given and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.” lleutarks ou Fsvers In General’ Dll this subject T wish to be fully understood. Ily the term “ fevers, n I comprehend all febrile affections to winch tho human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; hut ns Ihey arise by a gr eat variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions mid habits, they of course differ considerably in their development uud exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that ol undue excitement In tho circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency In (he pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. • To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I .dvauoo, I quote from tlie celebrated l’tut. T. Watson, •■I King's College, Loudon, whose work on the •• i’riuci ,des and Pructice of Physic” Is a text imok in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority. ’ m page 834, tie says:—“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever‘spo ken of. ily tlie public, Typhus Fever, lirutn Fever, bilious Fever, l’utrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac! Aud systematic writers ore to the full as particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Knterlc, ami so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that tlie effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful, it , nconrages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre crlbo for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers. Unit can be relied on. They mu insensibly into each ether, even tlie most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to tlie same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami i would impress oil your minds the folly of limiting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you hove lever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you mill lie well instead of any distinctclmracter being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed sole of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and ethers) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons mid climates. Hear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to mime, and rest assured you will soon ho freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before tho ‘■ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe as lirielly as possible tlie proper course to be pursued in all of I lie most prominent fevers, though tlie “ Rules” aud “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.

Should patieuts experience any oppression or lain tilers while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after tho fever lias passed off, or euough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast may bo bathed in cold water; either of which will give Immediate relief.

By observing tlie above directions, tlie medicine will lie found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of (die most sanguine realised, aud many perfectly astonished. My object iu being thua particular is, that the full benefit of tlie medicine may be obtained, aud not ou acoount of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Utltonii or Remittent Fever.

Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, viuegar or spirits and water, in these dillieult eases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect.

Quinine may he added to the ” Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis, Sim ons Fever, Typhus, Ship anil Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, witli a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—at least so far as my treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will he required; still comparatively little, ns they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with this hot a few days be necessary at longest to establish a permuuent waivalescence. QH The treatment should bo commenced—which may mediately follow any other without detriment with teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomesJWler or larger in volume, then to he continued uca in six or eight hours till t*e fever entirely subsides.

Variola, Varioloid, llußenin mid .Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, MtasUs, and fic&rlet Fever. As all of these diseases arc attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, tho treatment differs lme little from that of common fevers, lteumniber never Wait loleiu u, tlie “ name.” whether it is one or tlie other, or neither, h* they all commence with Jiv.r, hut treat it at once; govern thu fever and there will lie no trouble, there will be but tittle ireftivn even iu small pox.

On tin, ( will stake not only my reputation, but ail Unit 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; licit of I’rof.

When tlie throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, aud tlie surface bathed, as thought advisable. iu one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orieans, tho tongue and sauces wore so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on ids tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in tcaspoonlul doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours iiy the Fluid alouo. — Used to wet the throat 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 tbe Negative Klectric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, 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 as long as tlm fever continues, as iu other cases. Tho bowels of course should lie attended to. 1 n connection with tills subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by thu ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of tho happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, ils relaxing and soot hing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at ouce by u com mon dose anil retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one of tlie most convenient aud effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not (be most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability aud iritubility of the nervous as well as tlie circulatory. It \yill not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth aud quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy ; hence its use iu so many eases. Synoptia. Tn avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition culled lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may boor ought to he called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected te control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. Wliou such indications occur in any case, they should lie appropriate means, and these sohuid be given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it. when occasion requires, as they will then mere readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then bo lost. As the'*, Fluid” aloue will sub due the fever, 1 call all elso auxiliary treatment. If the 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 the dosu; 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 imlammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; It violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet In hot water; if tlia fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the w hole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash.” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou ble; if the 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 has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do any goad; 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 Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, ami then you will bo astonished at ‘the ease with w hich you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may fool at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have leiuid no such necessity when using the Fluid, and in he tally understood by all, l will name a tow of the different articles of medi cine I have referred te, viz s C nt hart Irs,—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as caster oil. salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antihilious, Ac.; anything known to he good liir such purposes.
