NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, | Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. D. lihmous why it should be used instead of any other treat- 1 ment in all Febrile affections : I *t.--Economy of Time. — As only ona-seventh or the ordinary time Is required to effect a cure. t(le-Keouomy of Money. —As it c.sts but one •ollar. L 3rd. — Eeonody of Keeling.— As it saves the i suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; tlie annoyance of taking nauseating doses of ; medieiue, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; but little of the tluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. ithi — Economy of Thought. —as when kuowu, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present exist! ug, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. 3th. — Economy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. Oth.— Ecouomy of Life. —As the cure is effected before and without reducing tho putient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed sufiicieut to satisfy all classes aud iiersone in ail condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to tire immediate treatmout 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 tlie case at the time it is lirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual anil perma nent rcliof, in all ordinary casus, when used soon after tho attack, fiersons ran scarcely realize that they hud been really much sick, and vury naturally conclude they wer j not attacked with fever, ami if so, “it was trilling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing of cattaequence —it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had uoeffect.” The general Impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not 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 iiiiuiy cases that he can fully realize ibe truth; and even then lie may conclude them all very ti filing cusos, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful iu perhaps hundreds of cases, must •Xpert that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great us to require particular attention, or though success,ul in reducing the fever, it will again rl- e as the influence of tho “ Fluid ’ passes eff, as the excit iag cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappoiflbient in sum cases that I have given aud frequently refer to wliut l have enllod a “ synopsis.” Reinarlis on Fevers In General* On tills subject 1 wi-h to he fully understood. By the term “fevers,” I comprehend nil 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, anil in quite dissimilnr constitutions an I liablls, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all aro distinguished by the satne general character istics—that ot undue excitement in the circulatory and lorvous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency In tho pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tho skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrafed i’rof. T. Watson, si King’s College, bunion, whose work on the “ Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text liook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. tin page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in and ont of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Lew Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oaitro-Knteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, T am persuaded Unit the effect upon tho 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 lino of genuine distinction between continued fevers, Unit can be relied on. They rnn insensibly into each •tiler, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the satno cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at ours as hereafter directed, and you will lie. well instead of any distlnetchariicter being devel oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is nu hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut uii experience at tiie bed lido of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases fby myself aud others) under a great variety of cir suuistauces, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name., and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But. as cases may have lie some developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or uuiler some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to ho pursued in all of die most prominent fevers, though tho “ ltules” and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Nulet important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Jitectric Fluid. Ist. It should bo given iu three or four times Us own quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always bo free ventilation iu the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides, •r is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it tiegius to rise again, should such bo tho case under any sircumstauces. 4th. When tho fuver begins to subside, patients must he left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; .should >ot bo questioned us to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra ■eous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation lie allowed iu their hearing, iu which they may fool more or loss interested, but bo left quiet to all intents aud purposes. 3th. Fluids should be allowed, whilo giving it as plentifully, aud as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may cousist of cold water, mueilagiuous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoct ion*, or teas, either •old or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. Btli. Should patients experience any oppression or •untness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a Costlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to •ccasiou them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast maybe bathed In cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

The bowels should lie kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even though the bowels should bo very loose. Tho patient should bo sustained by nourishing and mucilageuous drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should boused during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. (jive a teuspoouful of tho “ Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bouoset; or half tho quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours. Tho boneset tea should bo given warm till tho 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 of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, aud Scarlet Fever. As ail of these diseases 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 tlio “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most winds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly uiako the assertion, that small pox, if treated os I direct, will be, cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and tlmt there is no ne.cessitg id’ its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake not only my reputation, but a.l tlmt 1 bold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, tho number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. 1 nave not only proven it mag be, but has been done in numerous cases tlmt occurred ou board ship. See the account appended. Clive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of the cusc, with u dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly suflicieut; hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep tho fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. in one cose, on the ship liuchessd’Orleans, the tongue and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or spouk. and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till heooald swallow, when it was given in teuspoouful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tiie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by tho Fluid alone.— Used to wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. Tli in heretofore painful, dangerous aud alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as tho Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should ho re peated as long as the f-ver continues, as ill other cases. The bowels of course should ho attended to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making n few general remarks, which, if regarded by lire ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering, it is to inform them of the happy eifoct of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, Us relaxing and soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains und difficulties, it must lie tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose ami retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies lor many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility of tiie nervous hh 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 repetition, and condense the treat mout as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to be called, it should be 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 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 iu connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then bo lost As tho ‘,Fluid” alone will sub due tho fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate iu due time, repeat tho dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho “ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain 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 violeut pain in tho bead, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe the feet iu hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “ tiie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief ami aid the medi cine iu takiug 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 has become re duced ; if thero is nausea and vomiting, that 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 tho stomach has settled, give tho “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “ Fluid” at tho same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and thou you will bo astonished at the easo with w hich you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, kc., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to bo fully understood by all, 1 will name a tow of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz : Cut liar tics. —Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senua, any of the roots or harks, and many pills, nntlbllkras, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. llepatics.—Anything known to act on tho liver particularly, portal circulation nmi secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different sclioo'lsk for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with the “ Fluid” or whilo the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tho third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so ou; each may take his choice and be suc cessful. Tonics. —Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitk r herbs. Roue sot or thorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents. —Such as check the action of the bowels. Laudanum 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 tho best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These 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” und “ sedative” than known in the materia medial. 1 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, tlmt on the Packetship Duchess D’OrUaus, which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates: Wo, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz— We took passage on the packetship Duchess d'Orleaus, Capt Hutton, then lying in tiie port of Havre. France r.ud bound for New Yolk. She sailed on the 9th of Au gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out amoug the emigrants, They were all treated by the physician iu charge,Dr. X. W. Seat, with anew remedy of bin own, which lie calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control over tho disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing iu a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there were about eighty cases of small pox. some 1.-vir, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully . convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the etuilon, possesses inestimable virtues. Wo never befiHlP heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so littlu trouble to the nurse.
