NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Freimred tty N. W. Meat, M. I>.
Reasons why it should l>e used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections :
Uteliconomy of Time.— As only one-seventh
of the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
;4(l.—Economy ofillontyi—As it costs but one
dollar.
3rd.—Kconomy of Peeling.— As it saves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; tho annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of tho fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4tU.— Kconomy 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.
sth.—Kconomy of Health.—As tho system
is not reduced, ami consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
ttth.—Kconomy of Life.— As the euro is effected
before and without reducing tho"patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Ollier reasons might bo added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and porsons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons ar- more particularly applicable to
Mia immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
So the nature of tho easo at the time it is tivst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, In all ordinary cases. when used soon after
tho attack, persons ran scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very uatur.illy conclude thy
wor t not attacked with fevor, and if so, “it was trilling
—a little cohl, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of cansoquence—it would have [Missed off with
out anything—that medicine hud noeffoct.” The general
impression on tho subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
* naturally as men think st all; and it i.’ not until
tiic individual lias witnessed many cases that he can fully
ruaiiso the truth; and oven then he may conclude them
ail very trifling canes, which would have readily yielded
t-i any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds rs cases, must
expect that there will casus occur wle re there is some
organic of local cause so irreat as to require particular
attention, or though auccessiul in reducing the fever,
It will again rise as the Influence of the “ Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause limy still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in sum cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Ftvers In General*
On this subject I wish to be fully understood, lly tho
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, mid in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
qltoncy in tho pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tho skin,
nubility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone In the opinion I
advance, I quote from tho celubrafod I’rof. T. Watson,
•f King's College, London, whoso work on the •• I’rinci
pies and Practice Os l’hysic” Is a textbook ill many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard autlioriiy.
On page 831, he says:—“Wo hear continuallv, both in
end out of tho profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
liilioiis Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ae. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
M ucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-Knleric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the efl'oot upon tho
mind of all this subdivision, is bod and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
scribe for a disease according to its iuime. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They run insousibly into each
other, even tho most dissimilar of thorn, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your minds tho folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
trill lie well instead of any ilistiiicteharactor being devel
oped, so as to bo properly named by the most scieutiiic.
This r.csertlon is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at tho bed
side of tho pick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(tiy myself and others) under a great vuriety of cir
•uinsiances, seasous and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
■uisurod you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing ami dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before the “Fluid” is giveu, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
ns briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though tho “ Kules”
and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Dales important to be observed in all eases in unitg the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should lie given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may lie sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(tiiough there should ul ways bo free ventilation ill tiie
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must lie continued whenever the fever subsides,
or Is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such bo tiie case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to tlieir wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till tlieir own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, imluce. them to rise or speak; nor
should any eon vernal ion be allowed in their hearing, in
w liich they may foci more or less interested, but lie left
quiot to all intents and purposes.
sth. F’luids should he allowed, wliilo giving it as
plentifully, nd as long as the patient desires and uo
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
sold or warm ns parties may prefer or patients desire.
Bill. Should patients experience any oppression or
Atiutnesa while in tho lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tho fever lias passeil off, or enough to
occasion thorn to speak of it, they should have a little
wiue, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tiie fuoo and
hreast maybe bathed iu cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For clillilren of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
” “ 2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 30 “
“ 5 *• 10
” “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered us adults, for whoa
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
aor females, as a general rule, as much as moles.
There is no particular core necessary in giving it to
children —those often years of ago frequently having
tiikeu full doses; hut for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with then-mark that, as a general rule,
childrou require more than adults iu proportion.
By observing the abovo directions, the medicine will
bo found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sauguino realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of auy actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Utltou* or Remittent. Fever.
Give a teaapouful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
•institutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
” Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in ‘my case the bowels nro particularly constipated
or conlined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with tho
first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever Is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and tho patient is not particularly susceptible
to tho luflueuce of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teuspoonsful
may bo given at first w ! th advantage, and even repeated
In two hour*—if it—tl ■ pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine- lias taken effect.
Uathiug the surface with water at an agreeable
Ismperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much iu taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
tiie pulse beeom s more full and soft, then only a tea
•poonful, *o be discontinued as the fever subside!. As
ths bowel* are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
aotime should he lost to get them open, give some active’
cs'hartlc with the “Fluid” and repeat as may be necea
*rr till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie
ned to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the heed. Quinine may be added to the
” field” if thought advisable. See Syuopsis.
Hsrvans Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
At those fever* arc all of one character, differing
ia degree, being ail of a low grade, the pulse
smell and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
* practical us* in separating them—at least so far as
eiv treatment is concern* ! In these low fevers, when
bdly developed, e little patience will be required; still
little, as they frequently run weeks under
•i*eommoa Feetment, while with this lmt a few days
Will bn **eeary at longest to establish a permanent
*nlaae*,M.
Th* Wwateatat should be commenced—which may
immediately fellow any other without detriment—with
of ‘• Fluid** every two hoi s, till tho pulse
fccooma* biller or larger in volume, then to be continued
m “*ht hour* till ths fver entirely subside*.
In bad cases, from three to live grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic aud stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently open, aud small portions
of some hepatic should be giveu occasionally, even
though the bowels should ho very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface us di
rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, in ull casts
which have become reduced.
I’neumouta, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoonful of tho “ Fluid'’ every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should bo given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kiud, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, lltihcola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As ail of Ihoao diseases are attended witli fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from tiiat of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or tho
other, or neither, us they ull commence with J ever, hut
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will b chut little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is n new idea, and doubtless
will he regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will lie cut short; attended with hut iitllo erup
tion ; little or uo pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only niy reputation, hut a 1 that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on tins subject, 1 have good authority; tiiat oi
l'rof. Watson, jireviously quoted. He says, page 574:
“ )fou may abate the force of the eruptive fever, aud
keep down, it is believed, the number of Lite pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” * Here is the admission that it may
be done. 1 nave not only proven it may he, but has
been doue in numerous rases that occurred on board
ship. Beo tiie account appended.
Give a teuepoonful or more, according to tho urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tho fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera 1 y sufficient;
but it should he given and repeated ■■ ufficicntly to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may bo used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the bhip lluchess d’Orleaus, the tongue
and faucus were ho much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, aud ho was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaspooiiful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tin; throat was reduced so as to enable liim to take nour
ishment in alHiut twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone. —
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless tho
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous aud alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Klee trie Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie 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 iu rest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as the f-ver continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be 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 the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
aud difficulties; it must lie tried to he appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will he relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate lime, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is* one of tho most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect id uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all oxcitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory,
it will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and
quiet, the system so tiiat one can sleep naturally aud
healthy; lienee its use iu so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under alt circumstances, without regard to the
name it may he or ought to he 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 sucli exist, must be r.mioveil in order to effect u
permanent cure.
When such indications occur iuany case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and 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 tho Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 cull all else auxiliary treatment.
if the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
Hint complaint, though if caused by 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 hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wot iu cold water, to tho part; if
violent pain in the 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 and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be uo trou
ble; if tiie patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics aud stimulants, particularly iu 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 the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose 1 general iv give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, il’
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cation tic if
necessary : in short, treat all (ho prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the samo time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will he astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know wlmt is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about wlmt is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood liy
all, I will name a tow of tiie different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
C'nl liart ics.—Articles that purge or operate on tiie
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything
known to bo good for such purposes.
Hepntics.—Anything known to act on tho liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of tiie 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 in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tunic s.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, resits and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Sucli as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and oilier preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tiie best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tho essences are all inure
or less Stimulating. These are tiie only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though mini v others are generally
used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a bet'er “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“ sedative” than known in the materia medial.

which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates.*
We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz—
We took passage on the packetship Duchess and Urleans
Capi lluttou, then lying in the port of Havre, France’
and bound for New York. Fhe sailed on the mb of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrant*, They were all
treated liy the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Scat, with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative ’ Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entile control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During tho 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 are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

Dear Bir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Discos, and bungs, under tiie titles
of Sar-uparillas, Pills, Plasters. Liniments. Ac., that ore
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object iu writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one tiiat contains articles of
Heal Use in Fulinoriary Diseases. I .mi conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unpr. fessiiinully.aud doroga
torily to tin* interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine, i refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scieutiiic remedy that l have
used witii more success than any of die usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
