NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, | Prepared tty N. W. Seat, M. D. Reasons why It slltytiM be used instead of any other treat- 1 moot iu all Febrile atfsctions: I st.--Economy of Time.—As only one-seventh of the Ordinary time is required to effect a cure. Vid.—Koonomy of Money.—As it c sits but one dollar. 3rd. Economy of Feeling.—As it saves the suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; but little of the tluid being necessary, and that pleasant iu its effects. Jlh.—Kconomy of Thought.—As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile alfections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. sth.—Kconomy of Health. —As the system Is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by ebroute disease. 6 th.—Kconomy of Life.—As tlie cure is effected before aud without reducing the patient, consequently removing, iu a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might he added, hut these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The abovo reasons arc 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 reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the case at tho time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, iu all ordinary cases, when used soon alter the attack, persons ran scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they wers not attacked with lever, aud if so, “it was trifling —a Little cold, which gave alarm—it could liuvo been nothing of evusequence—it would have passed off with out anything—Hint medicine had uocffcct.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts ii.it unlike tho above follow the euro of u common case ns naturally as men think nt all; and it is not until tho individual has witnessed many cases that lie call fully realise the truth; aud even then ho may conclude them all very ti Wing cases, which would have readily yielded *o any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have hucii thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cases occur where lliere is Home organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success.ul in reducing the fever, it will agaiu rise as the influence of the “ fluid” passes oil, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in sunn cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what I hare called a “ synopsis.” Htmarkson Fevers In General* On this subject I wish to he fully understood. By the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small ;iox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise liy a great variety of causes, and iu quite dissimilar constitutions and liabtls, they of course differ considerably ill their development and exhibit u variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by Hie same general character istics—that oi undue cxcit'-mcnt in the circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre quency ill tho pulse, souse of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, l quote from tho celebrated Prof. T. Watson, sf King’s College, London, vv lioso work on the “ Princi ples anil Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. On page 834, he says:—“We 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 as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Eut'-i ic, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, l am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad ami hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalout, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can he relied oil. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Tho above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would tnlpriHlou your minds the folly of liuuting up or troubling yourself about a “-name;” if you have fever, treat it at once os hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to be 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 side of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at onco without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But us cases may have bo come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under souio other treatment, I will describe us briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in nil of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Jtules important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric fluid. Ist. It should bo given ill three or four times Us own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pletum o. 2d. Patients must lie free from nil currents of air, (though there should always bo free ventilation in tho sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. ad. It must bo continued wh never the fover subsides, or is evidently passing off’; to be resumed when it begins to rise agaiu, should such be the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of nil 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 loss interested, but be left quiel to nil intents aud purposes. 6th. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as plentifully, mid as long as the 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. fllh. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tho lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after tho fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, giuger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast may be bathed iu cold water; 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, “ sto 16 “ •• 2 “ 5 “ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60 “ “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teAspooiiful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a toaspoouful is a common dose. Old persons do nut require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; uor females, as a general rule, ns much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the ebovo table, with the remark that, ns a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will tie found agreeable iu all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may bo obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent Fever. Hive a tcMponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in till simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the Rules.” But should there tie prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they shout'd ho attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If iii any case tho bowels are particularly constipated or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine —not easily ojioratcd on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may be giveu at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at tin agreeable temperature, the saliue wash, vinegar or spirits ami water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid *he medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Uir two teaspooust'ul and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more hill and soft, then only a tea enoonful, to be discontinued as the Cover subside*. As sue bowels aro generally confined, and it is frequently eery difficult to get medielue to operate in this disease, no rime should be lost to pet them open, give some active’ nathartlc with the •• Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary hint operates; enemas (injections) may also be used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may bo added to the * Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing •aiuly ia degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse siunll and wiry, with a general great depression, there is ao praelisal use in separating them—at least so far as ■>y treatment is concerned. | n these low fevers, when hilly developed, a little patience will be required; still euaipsrattvely little, as they frequently run weeks under • common treatment, while with this but a few da vs will be aeeeseary at longest to establish „ permanent aoawaieseeaee. The treatment should be commfheed—which laav fmintdiately follow any other without detriment—with a teaapoonftd of •• Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse fuller or larger in volume, theu to be continued w** ■ su • eight hours till the fover entirely subsides. In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic aud stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. Tho bowels should bo kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even ( though the bowels bliould be very loose. Iho 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 as di rected iu 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 toaspoouful of tho “ Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or ball’ tho quantity may be giveu every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, ray onco in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should bo given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; tlreh cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to he applied over the seat of puiu; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs bue little from ttiat of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn tlie “name,” whether it iH one or the other, or neither , us they all commence with fever, but treat it ut once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small pox. Tills, to most minds, is anew idea, anil doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated us 1 direct, will be. cut short; attended with hut little erup tion; little or no pitting, aud that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake uotouly my reputation, hut a 1 that 1 hold most dour; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “You may abate tlie force of tlie eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is Hie admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. (Jive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of tho case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; hut it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. Y\ hen the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and tlie surface bathed, ns thought advisable. 11l one case, on tho ship Duchess d’Orleaus, tlie tongue and fuucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, anil he was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could -wallow, when il was given iu tcaspoonfnl doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve lionrs by tlie Fluid alone.— Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best 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 the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoon ful. almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu u short time. It should lie re peated ns long as tlie fver continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attcuded to. Iu connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing aud soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.— Painful 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; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not tho most soofany medicine known, its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability aud iritabilit.y of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant re|ietition, aud 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 called lever, or subdue aud control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it existH; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all orgnuic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while giving tho “Fluid,” and in 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 the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If Hie bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first doeo, or soon after, and should it fail to operate iu due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho “ Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of Hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet iu hot water; if tho fover is very high, skin dry uud hot, with great suffering, sponge or batiio the whole surface with water at au agreeable temperature; “tlie saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits aud water, either will afford great relief ami aid tho medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if tlie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu absouco 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 tho stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally givo some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie stomach has settled, give tho •• Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other cireumstanccs, giving tlie ” Fluid” at tlie same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, aud then you will bo 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 cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to bo fully understood by all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— t'nt liar) tea.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such ns castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, untibilious, &c.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hi'patlcs.—Anything known to act outlie liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tlie articles depended ou by the different schools for this purpose, will auswer when used in connection with the Fluid” or while tho system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tho third, pudophyllin—tlie fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and bo suc cessful. Tunics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone o; or thorougliwert is one of tho best used in fevers. Astringents.—Such as check the action of the bowels. Ijiudunum and other preparations of opium aro used; also, many mixtures, uot properly astringents, which have tho effect. Nll illu 1 itnts.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tho best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all moro or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are geuorallv used, but tho Negative Electric Fluid is a bet'er •• dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” aud “sedative” than known in the materia medica. I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Pncketslilp Duclicss D'Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following viz We took passage on the packetship Duchess d'Giieans Capt Hutton, then lying in tlie port of Havre, France and bound for New York.
