N JSQ'A.Ti Vl3 ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by S. W. Seat, M. D.
Henson* why it should be used instead of any other treat- i
rnuut in all Febrile affections:
let.— Economy of Time.—As only one-seventh
•f the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
‘id.—Economy of Money. —As it c ,sts but one I
dollar.
3rd. Economy of Peeling.— 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, nnd the pain of
long confinement; lint little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effect*.
4th. — Economy 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.
5 th. — Economy of Health.— As the system
is not reduced, and consequently rucked; nor is tiie fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
Oth. — Economy of Life.—As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other roasons might he added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy ull classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the tirst attack, hut will
apply witli 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 it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
(lie attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli y
War < not attacked with fever, and if so, “it wav trifling
—a little cold, which gave ularm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine hud noeffoct.” The general
Impression on the subject us fever is such, that thoughts
net unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many canes that ho can fully
realise the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very hiding caws, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect tiiat there will coses occur wln re there is seme
srganlo or iocul cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success.ui in reducing tho fever,
It will again rise as the influence of the ■’ fluid” pusses
ed, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment lit ton'll cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what 1 huve called a “ synopsis.”
RemarUs on Fevers In benerah
On this subject I wish to he fully understood. By tho
term “fevers,” I comprehend till febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by u great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
snd habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
y< t all are distinguished by the same general character
istlcs—that ot undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems —inducing more or less uiiuaiiiral fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
uebility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the celelirufed i’rof. T. Watson,
es King's College, London, whose work on tho “ Princi
ples and Practice of I’hysic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
tin page 534, he says:—“ We hear continual!’ , both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain fever,
Hillous Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic, writers are to the full u.s particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Qastro-Knteric, 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 bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied ou. They run insensibly into each
ether, oven the most dissimilar of thorn, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, ono worthy of remembrance
and I would imprest on your minds the folly of bunting
up or troubling youiself about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any dlstinctcharacter 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 > f the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands ot 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 be freed from ull dread of linger
ing ami dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies”
and “ Synopsis’’ will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Jiules important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given ill three or four times its own
quaulity of water, uud may lie sweetened or not at
pleasure.
Jd. l’atieuts must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
fid. U must Ito continued whenever tho fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to lie resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such bo 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 tako any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation bo allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but lie left
quiet to all iutonts and purposes.
Mb. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long ns the patient desires nnd no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
sold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
iith. Should patients exiierienco any oppression or
faintness while in the 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, ginger, or some othor stimulant; or the face and
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give iuimodiate 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 “ “ 12 to 30
. “5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to n teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a toaspuouful is n common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
shildren —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,
eb.ldreu require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
bo found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, nnd many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, tlmit
the full heuetlt of tho medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any admit necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent. Fever.
Give a toasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) ones in
two hours, till tho fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes tho whole treatmeut iu till simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
* Buies.” But should there bo prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Syuopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
nr confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must lie 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 tin* influence of medicine —not easily operated on liy
medicine generally—n double dose, or two teuapoousful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours —if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits ami
water, in those difficult cases, will afford relief nnd aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teaspoousful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then oulv a ten
sn,muful, to be discontinued as the fiver subsidei. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to got medicine to operate in tills disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
setfiortio with tho “Fluid” and repeat ns may fie neces
•ary till it operates; enemas (injections) niay also be
e-oil o advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
application* to the head. Quinine may be added to the
* Fluid” if thought advisable. Bee Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship nnd Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of ono character, differing
■B'n'y i degreo, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small anil wiry, with a general great depression, there is
” practical use in separating them—at least so far as
aiy *.immt is concerned In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
enmparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
commoß treatment, while with this but a few days
will b* ucsessary st longest to establish a permanent
aonvwlssssns*.
The treatment should be commenced—which tnav
hnmsdiatvly follow any other without detriment—with
a t<wwpT inM of “Fluid*’ every two hour*, till the puls*
feller or larger in volume, then to be continued
Whs to daar sight hour* till t** fever entirely subside*.
in bad cases, from three to live grains each of quinine
and capsicum {Cayenne pepper} or some tonic and .in;ll
lau t (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should ire kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo very loose. The patient
should be sustuiued by nourishing and mucilagenous
drinks —such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where the akin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
reeled ill bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should boused during convalescence, in all cases
which liavo become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Glvo u teaspoouful of the “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bonccct; or
half the quantity uiny lie given every hour till relieved,
then, at lunger intervals, say once in six or oight hours.
The boucset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms aru allayed, or tho patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard piaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over tile seat of pain; 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 witli fever, which
iu fact is Hie most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common levers. Remember
never wait to learn tho “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, os they all commence with fever, but
treat it lit once; govern the lever Bud there will fie no
trouble; there will be lad little ernpliim even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. J nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that ftnall pox, if treated us
1 direct, will be cut short; attended with tut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
Its ran Bing Its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, imt u 1 that I hold most dear;
besides, ou this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
I’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“ You muy abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number oj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission Unit it may
lie done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous caees that occurred on hoard
ship, bee the account appended.
Give a teaspoouful or more, according to the urgency
of tiie cose, with a dose of salts or cantor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours it necessary, until the fever sub
sides —though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should be given nnd repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of tiie ordinary gargles may bo used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the (oitient could
not swallow or speak, und lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow,
when it whs given in teaspoouful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelliug of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless tiie
best gargle, in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous uud alarming
malady to which tho mother Is liable, will yield to the
Negative hlectric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoouful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time, it should be re
;s'uted ss long as the fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should ite attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will sure them much paiu and suffering, it
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, 1U relaxing anil
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
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 taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies formally of the ills of females, if not
the most so ofnuy medicine known. I ts effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth anil
quiet the system so that or.e can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence 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 Hlectric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ouglitto he called, it should bo giien
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it . an not be ex
pected to control nil organic 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 the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then nioro readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lust As the Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatmeut.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the tirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate iu duo time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrluea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
paiu or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain iu tiie head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the lever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with grout suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at au agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tho 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 ami stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there ts nausea and vomiting, tiiat must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the 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 Inis settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any othor circumstances, giving ifie
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and tlieu you will be astonished at tiie ease
with which you cun 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 lnivo found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, nnd to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to. viz:—
Cut liart ics.—Articles tlmt purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, autibillous, Ac.; anything
known to lie good for such purposes.
Ilr put ics.—Anything known to act outlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the 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 limy choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each muy take his tie ace mid be suc
cessful.
Tonics.— Articles tliatgive tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. B.me
ser or thoroughwort is ono of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels, Imudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tho effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the ouly classes necessa
ry iu treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, hut the Negative Kleetrle Fluid is a hotter “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia medico.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, uuil will
only refer to oue instance of success, tlmt on the
Pnckrtshtp Duchess D’Orlesni.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
Wo, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
Wo took passage on the packctship Duchess d’Orieatis
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre France
mid bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1851, with over u hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among tho emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge. Dr. N. W. Sent with
anew remedy ofhisown, which he calls Negative’ Klee
trie 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 davs
there were about eighty case* of small pox. some fever’
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From whnt we saw during said passage, wears fully
convinced that tho medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtue’s. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to tho nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage
small pox and fever on board, and not a death! Th
fact speaks for itself.
