- ELECTRIC FLUID,
Hrpitd by N. VV. Meat, U. U.
Ilnuoui why it *honld lie und Instead of any other trout
men t in all Febrile affection* :
1 at— Economy of Time.— As only one-seventh
cl the ordinary timo is required to effect a cure.
4il.—Keonomy of Money. —A* it c *t but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feeling-— As it saves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
utodiciue, their disagreeable operation, and tho pain of
long confinement; but littlo of tliu liuid laiing necessary,
ami that pleasant in its effects.
4til.—Economy of TUougtit.— As when
kuown, it will remove ull droad and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
u dear friend is sick.
s Hi.—Economy of Hcaltli.— As the system
is not reduced, and consequently rucked; nor is the fever
subject to lie followed by chronic disease.
Kill. — Economy of Life- —As the cure Ueft'ccted
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all duugerof a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might bo added, but these aro deemed
sufficient to satisfy ull classes aud persons in ull condi
tions of life.
Tlte above reasons arc more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
V> the nature of the case at tiio time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after
th attack, persons can scarcely realism that tiiey had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude thy
wore not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could huvo been
iioihiug of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general
impression on tho subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of u common case
its uuturslly its men think lit all; umi it is not until
lh - individual lias witnessed many casosthat lie cun fully
realize the truth; aud even then he may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
boon thus successiul iu perhaps hundreds of cukch, must
expect that there will cases occur wh re there is some
erg tote or local cuusu so groat its to require particular
attention, or though success.ul iu reducing the lever,
it will again rise as tho influence of the •• Fluid” passes
off, us tho uxcitiwj cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment lit such coses that 1 have given
and frequently refer to wlnit 1 have culled a “ synopsis.”
Rcmorks on Fevers Iu Ucnerab
Oil this subject 1 wish to be fully understood, liy the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but os they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
aud habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by tho same general cliarie tur
istirs—that ol undue excitement iu tim circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that, lam not wholly alone iu tlie opinion I
ult mice, i quote from the celciirafed I‘rof. T. WutSon,
ei King's College, London, whose work on the “ I’riiici
plan and Practice of lTiysic” is a text book in ninny of
mir medical colleges, and consequently staiulwrdauthririty.
t >ii page 834, he says:—“We hear continuulD, both iu
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. liy the public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever,
iiilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
he. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
.Mucous F’ever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Euteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 uni persuaded that the effect ti|H>n tho
mind of all this sub-division, is bust and hurtful. It
encourages a disjsisition, already too prevalent, to pro
s'ri be for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that cau be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the sumo cause.”
The alsive is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of limiting
op or troubling yourself about u “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
• vtil be. well instead of atiy dlstinctcharacter being devel
oped, so as to be property named by the most scientific.
I’iiis assertion is no hypothesis bused oil closet specula
tions or visions of luiud, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, ayo, thousands of cases
(liy myself ami others) under it great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Dear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rust
assured you will soon be freed from ull dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before the “ FTuid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
a; brieily as possible the proper course to bo pursued in
all of the most prominent lovers, though the “ llules”
mid “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient fur all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.
Kales important to be, observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should bo given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, aud may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
■id. Patients must ho free from all current! of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in tho
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must be continued whenever tho fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
liegi ns 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 us to their wants or footings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exerciso whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce thorn to rise or speak; uor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less Interested, but be left
quiet to all intents aud purposes.
sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
1 dentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mueilagiuous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
mu. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in tho lying posture, so in to occasion a
restlessness after I lie fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have u little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
le east may he liutlied in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TAULK OF DOMES.
For children of oue year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 aud under 2 years, “ oto 15 “
“ “2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to 30 “
“ “ It “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60 “
“ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a leaspoonftil Is a common dose. Obi persons do not
require as much as youug, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much us males.
lTiuro l* no particular care necessary iu giving it to
children—those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, I have given the
above tattle, with the remark that, ns a general rule,
children require mere than adults in proportion.
Hy observing the above directions, the medicine w ill
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
as to n Uhed. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full beuefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servance*.
liilious or Remittent Fever.
(live a teasponftil of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till tlip fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in ull simple cases of
fever, with such observances as ure set forth iu tho
” llules.” But should there lie prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, llicy should lie
attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.”
Beo Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or coufiued, give a 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, aud the patient is not particularly susceptible
la the influence of medicine —not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double (tone, or two toospoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, aud oven repented
in two hours —If it—tho pulse—has not heeu softened,
Mins showing the medicine has taken effect.
Itathlug the surface with water nt au agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, iu these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
ilie medicine much iu taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
• live two teaspooiisflil and rejieat every two hours till
till’ puls* becomes more full snd sort, then only u tea
spoonful, to be discontinued a* the fever subsidei. As
tiir bowels are generally routined, and It is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time tlionld be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “Fluiu’uud repeat us may be neces
sary till it operate*; euvmas (injections) may also he
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extrotnltivs. or
friction (rubbing) with the Imnds or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” ir thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship nut! Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separatiug them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low ferera, when
fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tle common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
eunvulsaeeno*.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—witii
a teaspoonful of “Fluid 1 * every two hours, till the pulse
h*°omes (tiller or larger in volume, theu to be continued
t\ nc * In sin or eight hours till t/*e fever entirely subsides.
Iu bad totsee, from three to five grains each of quinine
aud capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stim 11-
ill til (see auxiliaries; should lie added to each dose. 1 lie
bowels should be kepi gently open, and sniull portions
ol’ some hepatii should be given occasionally, even
though llie bowels should be very loose. Tiio patient
should l>o sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
i drinks- —sucii as are in common use iu such coses.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
i rected iu bilious lover, will be ibuud advantageous.
Tunics shuuid lie used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Live it teaxpouuiul of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strung decoction of buiieset; or
hall tho quantity may be given cveiy hour till relieved,
then, ut longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or (lie patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
tho kind, to be applied over tho seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Vuriololri, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended witli fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs bue little from Unit of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “ name,,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as tiiey all commence with fever, hut
treat it at ouce; govern tho lover and there will lie no
trouble; there will I tv trut little, eruption oven in 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, il’ treated us
I direct, will be cut short; attended with but littlo erup
tion; littlo or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will slake
not only uiy reputation, but nil that L hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“You may abate tho force of tiio eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
lie done. 1 nave not only proven it maybe, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred ou board
ship. See the account appended.
(iive u teaspoonlul or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with u dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—’.hough one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
hut it should be given and repeated sufiicieutly to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
uny of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
in one case, ou the ship Duchess d’Urleans, tlie tongue
ami faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, aud lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid ou his tongue, di-op by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teuspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie tliroat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour
ishment in uliout twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with sucii readiness, as to seem
te boos little consequence. A single dose or two of a
toaspuonful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time, it should he re-
P'-ated as long us the fver continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be 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 aud suffering. It
is to inform them of the 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 be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at ouce by a com
mon ilose and 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 aud
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing ail excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as tho circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; lienee its use iu so many eases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for ull cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cauuot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when sucii exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When sucii indications occur iuauy cast, they should
be appropriate means, and those sohuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection witli it, when
occasion requires, as tiiey will thou more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then bo lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 cull all else auxiliary treatment.
if tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) witli tlie first dose, or soou after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
witli diarrhoea, 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 plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho part; if
violent pain iu tlie head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe
the feet iu hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry mid hot, with great suiferiug, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saliuo wash,” viuegar aud water or spirits aud
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if tlie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, w hen tlie patient Ims become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tiio stomach
to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomuch ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tho
stomach has settled, give tlie “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all tiio 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 reulizo it till you
have seen, uud then you will lie astonished at tlie ease
w ith which you can control nil febrile excitemeut.
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 have found ho sucii necessity
when using the Fluid, aud to bo fully understood by
all, 1 will inline a low of tlie different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat liar tics. —Articles that purge or operate on, the
bowels, sucii as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tlie roots
or barks, aud many pills, autibiliuus, ho.; anything
known to bo good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.— Anything known to act ou the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended ou by tho different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with tlie “ Fluid” or while tiio system is under its in
fluence. And otto may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—tlie fourth, mandrake
root, and so ou; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
us quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bono
set or thoronghwort is one of tho best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such ns chock tlie action of the
bowels. lAudauum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlie effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tiio 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 tlie Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic.” “auodyno,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia medico.
I shall not tax tlie reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of u trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that ou the
Fnckrtship Duchess D’Orleang.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates;
We, the undersigned, certify to tlie’ follow ing, viz—
We took passage on tlie packetship Duchess dOHeaus,
Copt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France,
aud houml for New York. She suited on tlie 9tli of Au
gust, 1851, witli over u hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A sow days after leaving Havre, tlie smail
|s>x broke out among tlie emigrants. They were all
treated hy tiio physician in charge. Dr. N. W. Seat, with
anew remedy ofhis owu, which lie calls Negative Klec-
II ie Fluid, witli 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 days,
there wereabont 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 are fully
convinced that tlie medicine need by l)r. Feat on the oc
casion, possesses Inestimable virtue’s. We never before
beard or read of felirile affections being controlled with
mo 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 not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

New uitWASs, April 9, 1865.
Dear Fir—The public generally are fully aware of ihe
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Farsapurilhis, l’ills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. IJy object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce tin- public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
JfiXll Use iu I‘uhmiutry IHseores. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprol'cssionally.nnd dernga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the reguhir
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used witii more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which luts al tended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
ami its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive jaiwers iu pi >pr tuna.
Remember that tlu is tike only Cough Medicine that
lias stood tho test of tile medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of. and recommended by the leading
Physicians of Now York city. Uvi ry bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or tho money refunded. AVu guaran
tee it to lsi better than any Chen \ Pectoral. Cod Liver
