NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by X. W. beat, M. D.
Reasons wbjr it ishouhi be Weed instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affection*:
Ut.-Kcouomy of Time.—A* only -ienlA
ot the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
tii.—Kconnmy ofMoney.—A* it c ats but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Fetllif.~Ai it saves the
suffering of a lent sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoy .nice of taking nauseating doses of
medlcino, their disagreeable operation, anil the pain of
long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
bad that pleasant in it* effects.
4th. —Kconomy of Thought.—A* when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is Rick.
sth.—Kconomy of Health.—A* the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
6th.—Kconomy of Life.—As ihecureiseffected
before and without reducing the (patient, consequently
removing, hi a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other T -ason* might be added, hut those are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and 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 reduro.), corresponding of course
to the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when us*sl soon after
the attack, person, can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
wers not attacked with fever, and If so, “it was trifling
—a Utile cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of censequsnce—lt would have passed off with
out anything—thut medicine had no effect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is sneb, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of u common case
a. naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
ths individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
srgauic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success ul in reducing the fever,
It will again rl“ as the influence of the ‘‘Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappoint men t in such cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General-
On tills subject I wish tu he fully understood. By the
term “ fevers,” 1 comprehoud all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
ana other eruptive levers; hut as arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quito dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit u variety of forms or types;
yet all arc distinguished by the same general character
istics—that o! undue excitement in thu circulatory and
nervous systems —inducing inure or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness us the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the celebrated l'rof. T. Watson,
of ICidfc’s College, London, whose work on the “ Priori
pies and Practice of Physic” Is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently shmdardauthurity
Ou pige 834, he says;—“Wo hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full us particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uustro-Eutcric, anil
eo forth. Now, admitting thut fever shows itself uudor
various forms, I am persnaded that the effect upon tiio
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
s< ribe for a disease according to Its nan is. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can he relied on. They rnn insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress ou your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yom self about u “name;” if you have
fever, treat It at once os hereafter directed, and you
i aill be. well instead of any (listinctcliuracter being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
Tills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands us casus
(by myself ami othors) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons mid climates. Hear tills in mind,
and treat at once witiiout regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have l>e
conio developed before the “ Fluid” is given, cithor by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
os bristly as possible tliu proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tiro sick.
Uniti important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative. Electric Fluid.
Ist. 11 should lie given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
•2d. Patients must be froo from all currents of air,
(though there should always lie free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its iu-
Itueiice.
3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing oft ; to bo resumed when it,
begins to rise again, should such he the ruse under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fevor begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not he questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation he allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to ali intents and purposes.
6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as loug as thu 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 desire.
nth. Should patient- experience any oppression or
faintness while iu the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemouade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other -tiuiulunt; or the face and
breast may bo bathed in cold wator; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 30 “
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “
“ 3 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teuspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those iu the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, os much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those often years of age frequently having
token full doses ; but for a little guide, I have given the
above table, with the remark that, us a general rule,
• hildreu require more than adults iu proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
lie fouud agreeable iii all of its effects, the expectations
of tlie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object i . being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the in, Heine may bo obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
ltllious or Remittent Fever.
Uive a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all -iinple cases of
fever, with such observations as are sot forth in the
“Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must be opened or the fever uay rise
again.
Where tho fever Is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, aud the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoon sful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
In two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus allowing tho medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface witli water at an agreeable
temperature, tho saline wash, vim gar or spirits and
wator, in these difficult rasee, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two teasp-umsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes mere full am 1 soft, then only a tea.
spoonful, to be diectmtinu and as the fever subside). As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with tho “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also bo
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
application* to the head Quinine may bo added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typlrue, Ship anil Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly In degree. loiing all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a ge* -ral great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
ray treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed. a little patience will bo required; still
comparatively little, is they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but n ‘ w dais
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
eonvaltscenoe.
Th* tosatment should be commenced—whieh msv
immediately (bllow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoon fill of “ Fluid” every two houis. till the pulse
aeoomes fuller or larger In volume, then to be continued
was la tlx or eight hours till th* fiver entirely subside*.
In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should he very loose. The patient
should be sustained by uourishiug aud mucilageuous j
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface its di- i
reeled in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(live a toaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two horns,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bonoeet; or
half tho quantity may be given every hour till relieved, 1
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The boueset tea should bo given warm till the violent 1
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of ;
the kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep the !
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Sleaalea,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all us these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the moat 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 they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will bt regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will be cut short; attended with hut little ei up
turn ; little or no jotting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only nty reputation, but a:l that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject. I bare good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. Hu says, page 874:
“ Ton may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, tbe number oj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be doue. 1 nave not only proven it may be,, but has
been done iu numerous cases tiiat occurred on board
ship, flee the account appended.
liivo a toaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the cascq with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should Is, given and repeated sufficiently tu keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the oi dinary gargles may bo used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tbe ship Duchess d'Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to unable hint to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is duiibtfess the
but 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 Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as tile
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re
peated as loug as the fever continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tlie ladies, will save thorn much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of tiie Fluid in
many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing aud
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its paius
and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.—
I‘aiuful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient ami
effectual remedies tor 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
aud Iritability of tho nervous as well as the circulatory,
it will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth aud
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally aud
healthy; hence its use in so many coses.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, aud eondenso the treats
meut as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tho Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may ho or ought to lie called, it should bo given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, aud those sohuld bo given while
giving the •• Fluid,” aud iu 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 tho fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, aud should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something kuown to he good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or niiluuunation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in tho bead, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tho feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tho salino wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief aud aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tho patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tho 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 tho
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; Indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will lie 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
cuthartics. Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, I will name a lew of (he different articles of ntedi
ciuo 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat lini't tea.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything
known to bo good for such purposes.
Hepatic k. —Anything known to act on tho liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of tho articles depended On by tho different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with tlie “ Fluid” or while the system is under Its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tho third, podophyllin—tho fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tunics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—g U cli as check the action of tho
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
whieh have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tho
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tiie best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. T hese are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid so a liet'or “ dia
phoretic, *’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia medica.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to ouo instance of success, that on the
Packetshtp Duchess D’Orleans.
which cannot bo classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz—
We took passage on tlie packetship Duchess d’Orleans
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, Franco
and bound for New York, She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tlie small
pox broke out among tlie emigrants. They were all
treated by the physician in charge. Dr. N. W. Seat, with
anew remedy ofliis own, which ho calls Negative ’Elec
tric Fluid, with which he 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 cases 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 arc fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on tlie oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and ocitainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a kmg passage
smnll pox and fever ou board, and not a death.’ Tlie i
fact speaks for itself.

Dear Sir—Tlie public generally are fully aware of he
thousands of remedies fur Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, &c., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afllioted. to use one tiiat contains articles of
Real Use. in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessinnaliy.and deroga
torily to the Interests of Medical; a nee and the regular
Practitioners of Mi diciue. I refer to Woodman s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used with more -access than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

O. 0. Woodman—Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with it -ef
fects; better than any other article I over met with. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot

Thi* preparation Ims attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, aud in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvi nt
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and gonial warmth
keeping tiie digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember tiiat this is the only Cough Medicine* that
