Reinarks on Fevers In (ienerab
On thin subject 1 wish to be fully understood, iiy the
Ann “fever*,” l comprehend all febrile affections to
which tho human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in ipilto tli-.-imliur constitutions
■uni habits, they of course differ considerably iu their
development ami exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all arc distinguish and hy tho same c dteTal character
istics—that ol mnlun excitement In the circulatory and
nervous systems—lnducing more or less unnatural fre
quency In tho pulse, sense of beat, dryhc .sos the skin,
debility, Ac.
To snow that I aid not wholly alone in tile opinion I
i Ivance, I iplOtc from the celebrated Prof. T. U'atnun,
f ding's College, I.,union, whose Work oil the •• Princi
pie,i and Practice of Physic” Uft textbook in many of
our medical Colleges, and consequently xlandurdaulhtirity.

Mtjcons Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uadtid-Kiii. i ic, and
in forth. Nov.*, admitting that fever shows it oil under
vanoii 1 . forms, J am perMiaded that the effect upon tlio
mini} of all this subdivision, is b;ul and hurtful. It
ciicidiragcs a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
rrlbo for a disease according to its name,. There is mo
lin” of gunuluo distinction between continued fevers,
rliat Can ho relied on. They run insuiislhly into each
other, oven tho most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same ‘cause.”
fho above is a great fact, into v.-oi rliy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of limiting
up or troubling youi self about a “ name;” if you liave
hirer, treat it at once no hereafter directed, and you
viHtue Well instead of any distinctciiaracter being devel
oped, so as to ho properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion Is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or vision* of mind, but oil experience at the bed
sida of tlie *ick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself aud uthere) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and ctlniates. Bear tliis 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 levers, but as casus may have Iks
come developed before the ‘■ Fluid” is given, eitiicr by
neglect, or under some other treatment, X will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued iu
all of tho most prominent fevers, though the “ ilulcs”
and “Synopsis* will be amply sufficient for nil those

If in any case tlio bowels ni*o partlcelarly constipated

Where the fever is very high, pulse running MO or

no lime should lav lost to get them open, e score active
i .ithnrtic with the “Fluid” aud repeat a* may be n.ces

* Fluid” If thought advisable. See Synopsis.
iVervouo Fever, Tj-jilttts, Sltip and Put.-til
or Sx>ottet Fever.
As these Cevars aro all of one character, differing
mainly iu degree, being all of a low grade. the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there i*
no practical u*o iu aeparntiug tluna —at least so (liras
my treatment is concerned. In theso low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run week* under
•Iw common treatment. while witli this hut a few days
will bo noMMfJF at longest to ctr.hll.di a permanent
isivwlescenco.
Tho treatmmt should he commenced—which may
immediately follow any other w ithout detriment—with
a teaspoonful of •• Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger In volume, theu to be continued
ynes tn six or sight hour* till tFe fever entirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to five grains each of r/uinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or Sum* tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) Should bo udder, to ouch dose. Tne
bowels sliould liu kept gently open, aud small portions
of Home iirjjuiut should bo given occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo very loose. The patient
siiuuid be sustained by liuarisluug aud luucilaguuuu*
drinks—such as are iu common uhc in such cases.—
Whore the litis is very dry, sponging tile siirfftce as di
rectcl iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Toluca should be used during convalescence, in nil cases
which have become reduced.
i'neumonla, Typiiuld Fnvuinuulii, Luug
or Winter Fever.
Uive a tenspoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hum*,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of Umeset; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms aro allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, tube applied over the scat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Kubcola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these dis.aaon are attended with fever, which
in tin tis the, most prominent symptom, the treatment
dlttors hue little from that of cumniuii fevers. Item ember
never wait to learn the “norms,” whether it is one or tlio
other, or neither, us they nil commence until Jivcr, but
treat it at once;-govern the fever and there will be no
trouble: there will bo but little, eruption oven in small
IH,x. This, turnout minds, is anew Idea, and doubtless
will bo regarded with ridicule by many, 1 nevertheless
iioldiy make the assertion, that email pox, if treated as
1 dire ct, will be cut thrrh ; attended with nut little erup
tion; little or no jutting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. (In this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but a.l that I hold most dear;
besides, on thissubject, 1 have good authority; fliut of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 374:
“ Vou may abate the force of the eruptive lever, anil
keep down, it i* believed, the number ojthe pustuhs by
spline purges, Ac.” Ilerulf the admission luat it may
he dene. I nave not only proveu it may Ik, but hus
treeu i lone in numerous cases that occurred ou board
ship. Sen the account appended.
• live a tfuiupoonffil or inure, according to the urgency
of tho ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until thefi)vcrsub
sides—though one or two dose* is genera ly sufficient;
hut it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. W hen the throat i* affected,
auy of tlio ordinary gargles may bo used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess ivOrleans, the tongue
and lliucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or sp")ik. and lie was cured by dropping tiie
Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given iu teuspoonfui doses every herur, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlio throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment ill about twelve hours by tlio Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is ilonbtless the
h< ! gurgle iu all such cases.
Puerjicral or Childlicd Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, w ill yield to tire
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. ‘ A single dose or two of a
teaspoon I ul. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; uu alarm need bo entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should igi re
peutud as long as the fver continues, as iu other cases,
flic* howels oi course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a low general remarks, which, if regarded by
the lames, will save them much pain and suffering, it
is to inform them of the lumpy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
sootiiiiig effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
nml difficulties; it must ho tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at ouce by a com
mon done ami retiring, ltestlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its uso; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tlio most so of auy medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing ail excitability
and lritability of the nervous as well as tlio 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 uso in so many cases,
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlio treat
ment as much as possible, l give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the Condition called foyer, or subdue aud
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho
name it may be or ought to lie called, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bu ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must bo removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
bo appropriate means, and these sohuld bo given while
giving the “Fluid,” aud in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they w ill then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
due tlio fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeut the dose; if attended
witli diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or iullaiumatioii, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, u blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, iierhaps, cloths wet In cold water, to tho part; if
violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, spoago or bathe the
whole sui face with water at uu agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if tho patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics uud stimulants, particularly in low
fever*, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine w ill remain on the stomach
to do any good: for this purpose I generally givo somo
gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach Ims settled, give the •• Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as y oil would under any other circumstances, giving the
•■Fluid” at the same time ns directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realise It till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at tiie ease
wi*li which you can control nil febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know wlmt is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using tlio Fluid, anil to he fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz :
Fat Unrtics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many pills, antibiliuus, Ac.; anything
known to be good fur such purposes.
Ilf |>ntic*.—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 in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. Ami one may choose calomel —another, blue
muss—the third, podophyltin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so ou; each may take his choice aud he suc
cessful.
Toufca.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots aud bitter herbs. Bone,
set or thoroughwurt is one of the host used iu fevers.
Aatrtngentii.—Such as check the action of the
bowels, laudanum nml 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 oue of the 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, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic.’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
” sedative” tli.,ii lctiowu in tho materia medico,

We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz—
We took passage on the nucketshlp Duchess and ifficult*,

over the disease, arresting it In a few hours, and caring

During the Voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there wore about eighty oases ot small pox, some fever!

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ilio
thousand* of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the news paper* by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce tho public, or at least those
who aro afflicted, to use one that contain* articles of
lir iI Cse. in Fulmatutry IXseasi •. i nUI conscious that in
so doing, I am acting moat unprofeasionalljqund deroga
totily to the interests of Medical bounce and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine, I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of tho usual prescrip
tions used hy Physician*.

O. O. Woodman—-Dear Fir; Ihi 10 given vour Cherry
Expectorant n fair trial aud am i\ ell pleased with its ef
fects; better thah ftny other article I ever met with. I
w ould be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tle* hy the heurcr. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation has attained u wide celebrity from
the universal traces** which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, aud in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar pi “pertiesa* a dissolvi at
and its soothing pow er to till in Rations of the throat,
will probably bo preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, It w ill
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive power* lit proper tone.
Remember Hint this is the only cough Medicine that
ha* stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is muc
tionoil by. approved of. and recommended hy the leading
Physician* of New York city. Every bottle 1* warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
