The above reasons ar more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on tho first attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject

As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma

the attack, |*rsons can scarcely realise that they hail
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could havo been
nothing of censeqnence—lt would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had noeflbet.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
uot unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
ns naturally as men think at nil; and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully
realize the truth; and even then he muy conclude them
nil very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any slmplo medicine, yet persons, theugh they havo
lovh thus successful in perhups hundreds of cases, must

organic or local cause so groat as to require particular
attention, or though success.til in reducing the fever,
It will again rise us the Influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It Is to guard
against disappointment in such cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fever* In General*
On this subject 1 wish to be lolly understood, liy the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small imx
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
end IrubilH, they of course differ cnushlrrably in tiieir
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished tiy the same general character
istics —that ol undue excitement in thu circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To snow tliut I am not wholly alone in the opiniou I
advance, 1 quote from tho celehrufed l'rof. T. Watson,
of King's College, London, whose work on the “ I’liind
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text liook in many of
nur medical colleges, and consequently standard auUwrity.
tlu page 8.14, 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 F'ever, Putrid Kevor, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to thu full as particular;
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Ailynamlc, Castro-Enteric, ami
so forth. Now, admit ling that lever shows itself under
vicious forms, 1 aui persuaded tliut thu effect upon the
uilnd of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful, it
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, tu pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction betweeu continued fevers,
that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even tho must dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is u great fact, one worthy of remembrance
aud i would impress on your minds the fully of bunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so us to be properly named by tho must gciontillc.
This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but mi experience ut the bed
side of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of ruses
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this m mind,
and treat nt mice without regard to name, ami ret
assur'd you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers, lint as CMOS may have be
come ilevoloped before the “ F'luid” is given, either by
uogl. I. or under some other treatment, I will describe
as brii 11 y as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for ail those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

not bo questioned as to their wants or toolings, nor
attempt tocuuverse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of ail extra
neous influences, iiuluce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiei to all intents and purposes.
bill. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it us
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they muy consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
flth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in tho lying posture, so us to occasion a
restlessness after tho fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with u little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast may l>e 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, “ 6to 15 “
“ 5 “ “ 12 to 30 “
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ 2O to 60 “
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoouful.
All persons over lift ecu considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoouful is a common dose. Old persous do net
require as much ns young, or those in the prime of life;
uor f-males, as a general rule, os 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
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults iu proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in hoi tig thus particular is, thnf
the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
uot on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
ltlllous or Remittent Fever.
Give a teasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till tho fever is evidently passing off; this
constitute* tho whole treatment in all simple eases of
fu yor, with such observances as are set forth in the
” itule*.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or kuowu local existing causes, they should be
attcuded to at once, aud While giving tlie “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in any ease the bowels are particularly constipated
ur confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must be opcuod 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—uot easily qx'rated ou by
medicine generally—a double disc, or two tcaspoousful
may be d-eo at first with advantage, ami even repeated
iu two hour* —if it—the pulse—has nut been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing trie surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water. In these difficult cases, w ill afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two teaspoousful aud repeat everr two hours till
Hie pulse becomes more lull end H ,.rt. tlion only tea
spoon ful, to bo discontinued as tlie fever subsidei. As
the bowels are generally cun lined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should be lust to get them open, give some active
sathsrtlc with the “Fluid” aud repeat as may lie neces
sary til! it operates; cneuias (injections) may also be
use,l to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rabbin:-’ with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” If thought advisable. See Synopsis,
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Shift aud Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
A* these fevers are all of one character, differing
■Minly iu degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
•mall and wiry, witli a general groat depress!no, there is
ao practioal us* iu senirating them—at least so far as
■i.v treatment l cone,; ued. In three low fevers, when
frilly developed, a little patience will be required; still
•otnparalively little, s* they frequently run weeks under
• common treatment, while with this but a fhw days
willb* necessary ot. longest to establish a permanent
•onvslsswne*.
Tbs trsatnseat should bo commenced—which may
homed lately follow any other without detriment with
a tamspoosTut of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse j
huooinst telter ot larger iu volume, then n be continued
I A*** *■ M*r sight hours Mil th* fever entirely subsides.
In bad casos, from three to live grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (seo auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should lie kept gently open, and small portions
of some lu/Hilic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. Tho patient
should bo sustained by nourishing and inucilageuous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skin ts very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should bo used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid I'lituiuouia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful ol a strong decoction of boiieset; °r
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
Tho honeset 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 kind, to be applied over the seat ol pain; keep tlie
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, tlie treatment
differe hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or tlie
other, or nedher, as they ull commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern tlie fever and there will be no
trouble; there will be but tittle eruption even in small
pox. Thi-, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will be cut short ; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, aud that there is no nevessdy of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, hut u I that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“You may abate tlie force of tho eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tliut 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 the account appended.
Uive a teaspoouful or more, according to tlie urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of wilts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tlie fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient;
hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
auy of the ordinary gargles may be used, and tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In oue case, on the ship Duchess d'Urh-uns, the tongue
and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or spook, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it wns given in teaspoouful 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 ulsiut twelve hours by the Fluid alone. —
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best yaryle in ull sucli cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem
to be of littlo consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoouful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, us tlie
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long a tlie fever continues, as iu other cases.
Tlie bowels or course should be attended to.
In connection witli this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tlie Indies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effec t of tlie Fluid in
many of their trials. Jn child-birth, its relaxing aud
soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its (mins
and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold takeu at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient aud
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and irituhility of tho nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth mid
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; lienee its use in 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 aud
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may bu or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it eannot be ex
pected to control ull organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such judications occur iutuiy case, they should
be appropriate means, and those solmld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they w ill then more readily act,
producing more general c fleet, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) witli the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate ill duo time, repeat tlie doso; if attended
witli diarrhiea, give something known to bo good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“ Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plusler, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tlie feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar ami water or spirits and
water, cither will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias 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 1 generally give some
gentle emetic, to cleanse tho stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and u 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 be astouished at tlie ease
with which you cau control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel ut a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, aud to bo fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of tho different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cat Hart tea.—Articles that purge or operate on tlie
bow els, such os castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; auvthing
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on tlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Aliy of tlie articles ihqiended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “ F'luid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. Ami one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tlie third, podophyllin—tlie fourth, mandrake
root, and so ou; each may take liis choice and Is- suc
cess ftil.
Tonics.—Article* that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
•o-. or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. 1-audauum and other preparations of opium uro
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlie effect.
StintulfLiit*.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating levers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“ sedative” than kuowu in the materia medico.
1 shall nut tax tlie reader witli a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of u trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that oil the
Packet ship Dm-lies* D’Orlean*.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz
Wo took pa.-sago ou tlie paokotship Duchess d'Urlcan”
Capt Hutton, then lying in tlie port, of Havre. France,
and bound for New York. Fbc sailed oil tlie Dth of Au
gust, 1851, witli over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tlie email
pox broke out among tho emigrants. They were ail
treated by tlie physician in charge, Dr. N. IV. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative ’ Elec
tric Fluid, with which h* seemed to have entire control
over tlie 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 nuu
sun 1 promptness.
From what we saw duriug said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
easiou, possesses inestimable virtues. Wo never la-fore
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much case, promptness aud certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small |six and fever on board, and me ,r death.’ The
