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.
