ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of :
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of

and that pleasant in ita effect*.
4th. — Economy of Thought. —As when
known, it will remove all dread uud anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
stH.—Economy of Health.—As the system
u uot reduoed, and consequently racked; nor is tho fever
subject to be followed liy chronic disease.
Oth. — Economy of Life. —As the cure is effected
before and without reducing tho patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might ho added, but these are deemed
suiflivient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The abovo 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 reduced, Corresponding of course
to the nature of the case at the time ills first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
tho attack, persons can scarcely reall/.e that they bad
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli y
wars not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have been
nothing of cansequcnce—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general
Impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common caso
s< naturally us men think at all; and It is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully
realise tlie truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would h ve readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, hough they have
been thus successful In perhaps hundreds of cases, must
x eet that there will cases i.coiir wh re there is Home
sr rattle or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success.ul in reducing (lie fever,
it will again rice as the influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, as tho exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in men cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have cnllod a “ synopsis.”
Remark* on Fevers In bi neral-
Ou this subject I wish to he fully understood, ily tins
term “ fevers,” l comprehend all febrile affections to
which tiie human frame is subject, including small pox
anil other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a groat
variety of cutises, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
uud habits, they of course differ considerably in tiieir
development and exhibit a variety id’ forms or types;
j ,d all are distinguished by the same general character
i - tics—that olundue excitement in the circulatory and
U'-rvous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in tho pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tho skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am uot wltolly alone in the opinion 1
advance, I quote from the celchrafed I'rof. T. Watson,
el King's College, isrudon, whose Work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book In many of
our medical colleges, anil consequently standard authority.
On pig 834, lie says :—“We It oar continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, llrain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to Ute full as particular;
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
iitt” of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can Ite relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, oven tho most dissimilar of them, and are often
tin oable to tiie same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds tiie folly of hunting
up or troubling youi self about a•• name; ’if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be. well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so as to he properly named by tiie most scientific.
Tills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tion* or visions of mind, but on experience ut the bed
side of the 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,
ami treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous levers. Hut as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though tiie “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.
Hub’s important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative. Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must l>o free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. J t must lie continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be tiie case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the lover begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
uot l*o questioned as to theh wants or feelings, nor
attempt tocouverse, road or take any oxerciso whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to riso or speak; nor
should any conversation he allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or loss interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
Stli. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, aud as long as tile 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 patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in tho lying posture, s'> 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, lemonade with a little
spirit, giugor, or some other stimulant; or the facound
breast may be bathed in 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 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ ”0 to 50
” 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered ns adults, lor whorn
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old tan-sons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, ns much as males.
there Is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide. J have given tho
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectat ions
of the most sanguine realised, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
uot ou account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent. Fever.
Give a teasponful of •• Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes tho whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such olwervances as are set forth in the
“ Rules.” But thoiild there ho prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie
attended to at once, aud while giving the “Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in any caso the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give n 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—net easily operated on by
uiedicino generally—a double dose, or two teaapoousful
may begiveu at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hour*—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened,
thus showing the medicine lias taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Oitp two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, ti. u only u tea
spoonful, to bo discontinued as the fever stibsldei. As
till’ bowels are generally confined, utul it is froo neatly
vorjr dli. i'Ult to get medicine to opt-rato in this disease,
no time should bo lost to get thorn opou, pi vo some active
cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; eueiuns (injections) may also be
u-ed to advantage; also, mustard to the exti, mities. or
filotion (rubbing) with tlio hands or f.annol; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may he added to the
” Fluid'’ if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever) Typhiu, Ship mul Putrid
or Spot ted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
davinly ia degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
auvtll and wiry, with 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
fnll.v developed, a little patience will be required; still
•ouiparatively little, as they frequently run woeks under
common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permauent
eonvalescense.
The treatment should be commenced— which may
immediately follow any other without detriment with
s teaspoonfnl of “Fluid” every two hour*, till the pulse
becomes falter or larger in volume, then to he continued
la its or sight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
In bad casus, from three to five grains cacti of quinine.
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some ionic and stimu
lant (hoc auxiliaries) should lie added to each dost. The
bowels should bo kept gently open, and small portions
of sonio hepatia should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. The patient
should bo sustained by uourisioug and mucilagenou*
drinks—such as are in common me id such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry,sponging tho suitace as di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, in uli cases
which have boot mo reduced.
Pueuiuoida, Typhoid Pm umouia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Uivoa teaspoonful of tho “Fluid” every two ho..is,
witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction Os bofieaet; or
half the quantity may bo given every lionr till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, fay once in six or eight hours
The boncset tea should bo given warm till the violent
symptoms aro allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard piaster, or something of
Hie kind, to be applied over the seat of pain ; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, “Varioloid, Rubeola ami Scarla
tina; or small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these discuses are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or tho
other, or neither, us they nil commence with fever, but
trout it at once; govern the lever and there will he no
trouble; there will bo but little, eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, uud doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small ;>ox, if treated as
1 direct, will be. cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, uud that there is no necessity of
Its running its ordinary course. On thin 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but a i that 1 hold most dear;
besides, ou this subject, i have good authority; Unit ol
i’rof. Watson, previously quoted. He nays, page 874:
“You may übato tho force of tho eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the. pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
bo done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous cases that, occurred on board
ship. See tiie account appended.
tiive it teasjKioutui or more, according to tho urgency
of tiie case, with a dose of salts cr 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 bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tho fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may lie used, and tho
surface bathed, os thought advi.-able.’
In one case, on tiie ship Duchess d'Orleans, the tongue
and fuucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it Was given in tcuapoonful iluses tviry hi Air, till
ail alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment ill about twelve hours by tiie Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it i.. doubtless the
to st gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tiie mother is liable, w ill yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with 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 bo entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re
peated as long as the fever continues, as in 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
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
ia to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
s.Kittling effect deprives tiie labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will bo 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 abort, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of tiie ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability ol tin: nervous as well as tiie 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 repetition, aud condense tiie treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tiie condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name, it muy be or ought to be called, it should lie given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local cuuses, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
bo appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while
giving tiie “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, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, and should it
•ail to operate in due time, repeat tiie dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tiie
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, u blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in eold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or seine cooling application, aud bathe
tiie feet in hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe (lie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
tiie saline wash,” vinegar aud fritter or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief aud aid tiie medi
cine in taking effect, ul'ter which there will be no trou
ble ; if tho patient tins been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tollies and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in uhsenco of lover or whan indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tho patient has become re
duoed; if there is nausea anil vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tiie stomach
to do any good; 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 lias settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tiie
“Fluid” at tiie same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at the case
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Forties may feel ut a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 havo found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by
all. 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
t at hurtles. Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, untibiliou*, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools’
lor tins purpose, will answer when used in connection
witli the - Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tho Hurd, podopliylliu—tho fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonies.—Articles that give tone or stron.-n. -.. .i.
ns quinine, various bul k.-', roots and hitter herbs. Hune
sei or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringent*.—Such ns check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tho
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tho best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tho essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are tho only cl.i-ses necessa
ry In treating fevers, thougli many others are gene rally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is bettor •• dia
phoretic.’’ “anodyne.” “diuretic,” “relaxant ” and
* uciltttivo than known in tho i materia medico
1 shall not tax tho 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

which cannot be classed among ordinary certifle ites-
We. the undersigned, certify to tiie’following viz—
YYe timk passage on the pneketship Duchess d'Urleans,
Capt Uuttou, then lying in tiie port of Havre Franco
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gii't, 1851, with over a hundred souls on bomd nuwtlv
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge. Dr. X. IV. Seat with
anew remedy of hi* own, which lie calls Negative ’ Flee
trie Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over tins disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time. “
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine dav*
there were about eighty coses of small pox, some fever’
&c„ and not u single death. Ail wero cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during sold passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used l>y Dr. Seat on tiie oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtue’s. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much esse, promptness and certainty, or s.> little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, ’a long passage
small pox and fever on board, and not a death.’ Tho’
fact speaks for itself.

This preparation ban attained u wide celebrity from
the universal success which has u!tended its use. Fur
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a disselv lit
and its soothing power to nli irritations of the throat
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As un appetizer, or dy.'i ■ p.tic remedv, it will
also lie found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping tiie digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only nigh Medicine that
has stood tiie test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of. anil recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York eitv. Uvi i v bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or tho money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than any i in cl . Pectoral, Cod Liter
Oil, or anything else now extant.
