NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. W. Sent, M. U.
treasons why it should be used instead of any other treat
ment In all Febrile Affections:
1 at.—Kconniny of Time.—As only one-ievenlh
of t lie ordinary time is required to offect a cure.
Rdeoßconomy of Money. —As it e sts but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feeling— As it euves tho
suffering of a long sickness and tlie consequent treat
moot; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
toodislha, their disagreeable operation, and the palu of
-long sonflnement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4th.—Economy of Thought. —As when
known, it will ruutove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
sth.—Economy of Health.— As the system
Is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor U the fever
sutijectto bo followed by chronic disease.
6 th.—Economy of Life.—-As the euro is effected
before anil without reducing tho patient, consequently
removing, In acorrosponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these are doomed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
Tlie above reasons are more particularly applicable to
llie immediate treatment on the lirst attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to tho nature of the case at the time it is tirHt adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon alter
tlie attack, persons cun scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
Were not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘’it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of censcquencc—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
dot unlike tho above follow the cure of a common caeo
as naturally as men think at all; nrnl it is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
oil Very ttitling cases, which would have readily yielded
• > any simple medicine, yet persons, though tiiey have
been I tills successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
*pe<U that there wilt cases occur where there is some
ergsnic or local cause so great us to require particular
attention, or though success:ul in reducing the fever,
ft will again rise as the influence of the “ fluid” passes
off, as tho exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in suen cases tiiat 1 have given
and frequently refer to what, 1 luive called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fewer* In General’
On this subject 1 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, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
Vet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that of undue excitement in ths circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fro
3uency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tlie skin,
ebllity, Ac.
To show that I ant not wholly alone In the opinion I
advance, I quote from tho celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
• f King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ple* anil Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
fin p.ige R 34, lie says:—“We hear continunlh, both in
and out of thoAirolessiou, different species of fever spo
ken of. By Tlie public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Enteric, and
SO forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tlie
mind of all this sub-division, is bad ami hurtful. It
encourages ft disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
lliat can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
•ther, evun tho most dissimilar of them, and are often
brooeable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would imprest on your ntlnds tlie folly of hunting
np or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
mill lx well instead of any distiuetcharacter being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by tlie most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
ttuns or visions of uiiud, but ou experience at the bed
side of tlie sick, In hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
fby myself stud others) under a great variety of cir
•umstauces, seasons aud climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, ami rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have lie
•outo developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to lie pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though tlie “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Mules important to be observed in all cases * uting the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
‘id. Patients must be 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.
3d. it must bo continued whenever the fever subsides,
• is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be tlie case under any
•ircumstanccs.
Ath. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
•ot 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 all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
Which they may fool more or loss interested, hut be loft
qniei to all intents and purposes.
Bth. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as
flentifully, and as long as the patieut desires and no
mgur; they tnuy consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any siuqdo decoctions, or teas, cither
•old or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
fith. Should patients experience any oppression or
fkiutness while in tho lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tlie fever has passed off, or enough to
•eoasion 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 fuoe and
breast may l>o bathed in cold wator; either of which
Will give immediate relief.

There is no particular care necessary in giving it to

taken full doses; but for n little guide, I have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
•hlldrrti require more than adults iu proportion.
lly observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable In all of its effects, tbe expectations

astonished. My object in being tbps particular is, that

Bilious or Remittent Fever.

* mstitutvs tho whole treatment in nil simple coses of
ff'vor, with each observances as are set forth in 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.”
tee Synopsis.
If iu any case the bowels are particularly constipated
sr eoutined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
irst portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
Ogaiu.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
•pwards. and the patient is not particularly susceptible
tii the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
aiedicißs generally—a douole dose, or two toaspoousful
siay be given at flrst with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours —if it—tho pulse—lias not been so/isned,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the aaliuc wash, vinegar or spirits and
wator, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in takiug effect.
Congestive Fever.
dive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the puls. becomes more full and soft, then only a tes
tpoOnful, to be discontinued as the fever mil is idee As
tha bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in thlv disease,
■o time should be lost to get them open, give some active
Mlharti. with the “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary Ull it operates; enemas (injections) may also be
•veil to advantage: also, mustard to the extremities, or
friotloa (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to tl\ head. Quinine may be added to the
* Fluid’ if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
lie rvows Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fbvers are all of one character, differing
•ai nly ia degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
•mall and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
■n pracfisal use in separating them—at least so far as
■iv treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
•dtapaeatlvsly little, ss they frequently run weeks under
tha aomman treatment, while with this but a few davs
wil! I* ntottsary at longest to establish a permanent
Wmvutessonee.

Immediately billow any other without detriment with
a teaspooaful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes toiler or larger In volume, theu to be continued
|we bn rti m sight hours Ull t>*e fever entirely subsides.
In bad casus, from three to five grains ouch of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (.aoe auxiliaries) should be added to each done. The
bowels should ho kept gently open, and small portions
of some lutp*die should bo given occasionally, even
though the liowols should be very loose. The patient
should he sustained by nourishing and luucilugenous
drink* —-such as are iu common use iu such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the suriace us di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu all cases
which luive become reduced.
l J iicumou!a, Tyjihwld Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or
half tlie quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
Tho boneset tea should be given warm till tbe violent
symptoms are allayed, or tbe patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to bo applied over the 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 aro attended with fever, which
in lact is tlie most prominent symptom, tlie treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is ouo or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever nml there will be lio
trouble; there will be but little eruption even iu small
pox. This, 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 stun t ; attended with hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will slake
not only my reputation, blit u.l tiiat 1 bold most dear;
besides, ou this subject, 1 lmve good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“You may abate tlie force of tlie eruptive fever, aud
keep down, it is believed, the number of the. pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tiic admission tiiat it may
be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred ou board
ship. See the account appended.
Givo a teaspoouful or more, according to the urgency
or tho case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tlie fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may tie used, and tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
Ju oue case, on tho ship Duchess d’Orleans, tlie tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or speuk. and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarmiug symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.—
Used to wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to tlie
Negutive Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
tcaspoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no ulurm need be entertained, as tbo
Fluid will urrest it iu a short time. It should be re
peated as long as tho f-ver continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refruiu 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 tlie happy effect of the F'luid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.—
I’aiuful menstruation will be relieved at once by u com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, norvotis irritability,
ora cold taken 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 ths ills of females, if not
the most HO ofauy medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tho whole system, removing all excitability
aud iritability of tho nervous us well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth aud
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in bo many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and 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 tho condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may bo or ought to he called, it should ho given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effoct a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
he appropriate rneaua, and these sohuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will tlieu more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides uo 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) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to oporato in duo time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, givo something known to he 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 linimont,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter 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 soiuo cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, spongo or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits aud
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will bo no trou
ble; if the patient has been reduced ur is much prostra
ted, give tonics and 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, 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 tho stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“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 he astonished at tlie ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a lues to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians aro usually particular
about what is used, l have found uo such necessity’
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood liy
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat iiart tea.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, uuy of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything
known to bo 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
for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
muss—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root., and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonic#.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Hone
set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho
bow els. Laudanum aud other 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 the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. Those are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “ dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the matm'a ninfini.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, ami will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packetalitp Duclicss D'Orlean*.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
We took passage on the packetslilp Duchess d'Orleans
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France
and bound for New York. Mie sailed on the oth 0 f Au
gust, 11*51, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostlv
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. N. W. Scat, with
anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Klec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it iu 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 unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we arc fully
convinced that the inediciuo 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 wot a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of tho
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sar-aparillas, Pills, Plasters. Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce Hie public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Heal Vie in I‘u.lmonary Diteane. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprol'essionally.and ileroga
tot'ily to tiie interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mediciuo. 1 refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success tlum any of flic usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

This preparation hiu> attained a wide celebrity front
tlie universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints
this medicine, from its peculiar properties us a dissoivi nt

In thus formally announcing the Prospectus fur tic
Fourth Volume, we have hut a few short paragraphs (•
add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, in
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in li
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the li:-:.:
ing States, aud especially Alabamians, the past history
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In tho flrst place, we remark to our friends and reailm
that tlie Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become the Tubbi

emphatically, that in future the Cotton Planter sh::!I i

Alabama's Industry, as demonstrated in the triunii-k.'-i
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will take re
step backward” its progress is onward and upward to tit
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly bv the Editor and proprietor,at.
by the members of the Society, that the Plautt-fr ul--
