NEGATIVE, ELECTRIC FLUID,
Ftepareii by N. VV. Seat, M. D.
i.ruuuH why it should bo used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections:
Ist.— Economy of Time. —As only oiu-Kvenllt
of the ordinary time la required to effect a cure.
dit. --Economy of Money. —As It Ooata but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feeling— As it oaves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of the fluid being necoasary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
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 lick.
sth.—Economy of Health. —As the system
is out reduced, and consequently racked; nor is tbe fever
subject to ba followed by chronic disease.
6th.—Economy of Life. —As the cure is effected
before aud without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might he added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons in all condi
tions of life.
Tiie above rnasous are more particularly applicable to
tlie immediate treatment 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
*,o the nature of the caso at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As lids remedy gives so prompt, effectual aud perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realise tiiat they hud
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling
—a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine hud uoeffoct.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the alsivu fellow the cqre of a common case
as naturally as men think at utl; and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that he enu fully
realise the truth; aud even then he may conclude them
ull very tiifiing casus, which would Imvo readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they liuvo
been thus successful in purhups hundreds of cuses, must
expect that there will cases occur wln-re there is some
organic or local cause so grout us to require particular
attention, or though successiul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise us the influence of the “ Fluid” passes
olt, as tlie exciting causo may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment In sue.n cases that I have given
aud frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In iicneral-
On tills subject 1 wish to he fuily understood. By the
term “ levers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and ether eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, aud in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development anil exliil.it a variety Os forms or types;
yet all aro distinguished by the sums general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more nr less unnatural fre
quency in tbo pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To snow that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King's College, Loudon, whoso work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physio” is a text book in many of
our medical Colleges, and consequently etaniturdauthority.
tin page 834, he says:—“We near continually, both iu
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Bruin Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. Anil systematic writers are to the full as particular:
M ucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uostro-Enterio, aud
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effuct upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is hod aud hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already ton prevalent, to pre
seribo for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
oilier, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
Tire above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would imprus on your minds the folly of hunting
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 distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so ns to bo properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at tlie bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and othors) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, 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 be
come developed before the “Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attcudunce upon the sick.
Kulet important to be ohterved in all caeee in using the
Negative Electric fluid.
Ist. It should be given in throe or four times Its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be froo from all currentt of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation iu the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
2d. It must bo continued whenever tlie fover subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such l>o tho case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
uot bo questioned as to their wonts 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, iu
which they may feel more or less interested, but bo left
quiet to all intents uud purposes.
6th. Fluids should bo allowod, wliilo giving it as
plentifully, and us long ns tlie patient desires anil no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
titli. Should patients experience any oppression or
Aiintuess while in the lying posturo, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tlie fover lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hurtsliora, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tlie face and
breast may bo bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For cliildrou of ono your or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over l nd under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ 2 “ 5
•< 5 “ 10
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a toaspoouful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a touapoonful is a common dose. Old la-rsons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, a* much as males.
There Is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children —those of ten years of ago frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have givou the
shove table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
Ity observing the above directions, the medicine w ill
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and mauy perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, thn't
the full benefit of the medicine may bo obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
(live a toasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing otf; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observances os are set forth in the
“ Itulea.” Hut should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local oxisting causes, they should 1*
attended to at ouce, and witilo giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If iu any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or routined, giro a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must boopeuedor the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and tho patient is not particularly susceptible
to the Intluenre of medicine—uot easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has uot been softened,
thus showing tho medicine lias taken effect.
bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the aatiuo wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much iu taking effect.
Congestive Fever,
Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subsides. As
the bowels are generally confined, and It is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate iu tbit disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give none active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; eneniaa (injections) may also be
us,ml to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may he milled to the
* Fluid” if thought advlaable. Bec Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mninly in degree, lieing all of a low grade, the pulse
■mall and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use iu separating them—at h*ast so fur as
ni\ treatment Is concerned, in these low fevers, w hen
hilly developed, a little patience will lie required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tl*> common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which mav
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a tsaspoonnil of •• Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger In volume, then to lie continued
In stm or sight hour* till the fsvsr entirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) orsuino tunic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should bo added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently Open, and small portions
of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo very loose. The patient
should bo sustained by nourishing and mucilageuuus
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu all panes
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or ‘Winter Fever.
Give a teaspooul'ul of tlie “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoctiofi of bone set; or
half tho quantity may bo given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The honeset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard pluster, or something of
tho kiud, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently upon.
Variola, Varioloid, ltubeola 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, tile treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn tlie “name,” whether it is one or tlie
other, or neither, us they all commence with /ever, hut
treat it at once; govern the lever aud there will be no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
f direct, will be rut thort ; attended with but litlio erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its runniug its ordinary course. On tills I will stake
not only my reputation, but ad that I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that ol
J’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 574:
“You may abate tlie fores of tlie eruptivo lever, and
keep down, it is believed, tbe number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Hero is tiic admission tnnt it may
be done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has
bem done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship, bee tlie account appended.
(live u teaspoonful or more, according to tho urgency
of the case, with a dose of suits or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the fevorsub
sides—‘.hough one or two doses is genera,ly sufficient;
but it should ho given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When tlie throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may bo used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
11l one case, on tho ship Duchess d’Orlcuiis, tlie tongue
aud faucus wore so much swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour,. till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tile 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 witli such readiness, us to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
toaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as tlie
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should be re
peated as long as tlie favor continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of Course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering, ft
is to inform them of tho happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains
ami difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation w ill be relieved at once by a com
mon dose andretiring. 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 for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Jts effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie Whole system, remiWng all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as tlie 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 Us 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 tho condition called lover, or subdue aud
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho
name it may boor ought to lie 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 iu older to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any casts they should
he appropriate menus, aud those soliuld be given while
giving tho “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 be lost. As tho ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
duo the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (sec auxili
aries) witli tho first dose, or soon alter, and should it
fail to operato in duo time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something know n to tio 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 hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tlie part; if
violent puiu in the lieud, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tlie feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skill
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline wash,” vinegar anil water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient Inis been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iu absence of fever er when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed lieforo 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 tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you caunot realize it till you
have seen, aud then you will lie astonished at tho ease
witli which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may fool at 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 tlie Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, I will name a lew of the different articles or medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Catliartics.—Articles tliatpurgo or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, aud many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.— Anything known to act on tlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by tlie different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with tho “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may chooM'calomel—another, blue
mass—tlie third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, sueli
as quinine, various roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thorough wort 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 the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles Hint raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes nercss.v
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 kutiwu iu the materia mnlica.
I 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, that on tlie
Packet ship Duclutss D’Orleaus.
which cannot bo classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the’ follow ing, viz
We took passage on the packetshlp Duchess d’Orlcauß,
Capt llutton, then lying in tho port of Havre. Frame,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the kith of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaviug Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge. Dr. X. \\. Heat, with
u now remedy of hit own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, ami curing
in a very short time.
During tho 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 wo saw during said passage, wo tire fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Heat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtue.-.. We never before
heard or road 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,
smallpox and fever on board, and net n ttenth! The
fact speaks for itself.

In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for the
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs!’
add. sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, in
dustrious pat runs of progressive improvement in the
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Flint
ing States, and especially Alabamians, the past history it
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.

Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will take in
step backward” its progress is onward and upward to the
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and
by tile members of tho Society, that the Planters aud
Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama,
will rally on masse to the support of Alabama's only (ex
clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the Ala
bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may
be unfettered in the great work of developing the im
measurable resources of the Keystone State of the tcuti..
“ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Minima •
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” the object of the Amiri
can Cotton Planter is to
“ Improve tlie Soil and tlie Mind.”
With a cor;ik of correspondents, numbering many 1
the most practical as well as scientific minds of tlieSoutli.
wo feel assured wo shali be able to visit our patrons in
the first of eacli mouth, to their entire satisfaction and

Every family in the country, whatever msy he their

cause there is no reading matter published to the world
so innocent, aud at the sometime so practically profita
ble iu all the w alks of life us that obtained in a good agri
cultural Periodical. The American Cotton Plnuter will
