rJGrA.TIVB 3LBGTRIC FLUID,
PrepurtiU by N. W. Sent, M. 1).
, l.easnu* why it should lie used instead of any other treat
ment in itll Febrile affections :
I at.—Bronumy of Tinier—As only one-seventh
i the or-Unary time is required to otfect a cure.
tili—EtttUoiny of Money.—As it c U but one
l"llar.
3rl.—Ecuuomy of Keeling—Ah it save* tlio
■'iiU'nriug of a long sickness and the consequent treats
uienl; tiro annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
Ith. —Kconemy of Thought. —As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile all'octious; particularly while
dear friend is sick.
5 1 D.—Ucunomy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
tlth.—Kconomy of Life.—As tliecure is effected
hetoro and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of u fatal
termination.
Other reasons might he added, hut these arc deemed
’Oitßclsnt to satisfy all classes and persons lu all condi
lions of life.
The alwive reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attuek, hut will
apply with equal force to canes which have been subject
'd to or have become reduced,.corresponding of course
‘o tbe uuturo of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
iln attack, persons can scarcely realise that they hail
bean really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
u i ‘ not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling
-a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
uotbing of consequence—it would have passed off witli
oil anything—that medicine had intellect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow tliecure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
l ie individual has witnessed many cases that he cun fully
■ •'alise the truth; and even then he may conclude them
til lory trilling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
finis successful lu perhaps hundreds of cases, must
• xjiei't that there will cases occur where there is some
ei tunic or local cause so great as to require particular
indention, or though successful In reducing the fever,
it wrfjl again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” pusses
oil', as tlio exciting cause may still exist, Ills to guard
against disappointment in suen cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks Fevers lu General*
On this subject I wish to he fully understood. Uy the
term “lovers,” 1 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 liabils, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or typos;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istic*—that el undue excitement in the circulatory ami
nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fru
queuoy in the pulse, sense of hunt, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ate.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I
chance, f quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
■ I King’s College, Loudon, whose work on the •• Priiici
ides and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of
“in medical colleges, anucousequeiitly dau/iarda tUhm-it g
in page 834, he says :—“We hear cnutiuuull >, both m
.ml out of the profession, different eperics of fever spo
ken of. ily the public, Ty; bus Fever, lirniu Fever,
bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, now Fever, .Nervous Fever,
.o'. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
dtuouH Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Eutcrio, and
,o forth. .Now, admitting that lover slows itself under
various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon Iho
mind of all Ibis sub-division, is bud and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
tin ‘ of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They run insensibly iutu each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
tiaceuble to the same cause,”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I wonld impress ou your miuds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yomself about a “ name;” if you have
t’ vr, treat il lit once as hereafter directed, and you
m'll. be well instead of any distinctchuracter being devel
oped, so its to lie properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
• mnstancM, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
anil treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon ho freed from ult dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as eases may have be
come developed before tlio “Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as nrictly as possible tlio proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Itules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
neeustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Ilnlej important to be observed in all cases in using the.
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should ho given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or nut at
pleasure.
3d. Patients must ho free from all currents of air,
(though there should always ho free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
tiiionce.
fid. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides,
a- is evidently passing off; to lie resumed when it
begins to rise again, should sucli lie tlio case under any
iivumstnnccs.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
l ill their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous iiitluoncos, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may fool more or less interested, hut he left
quiet to all intents uiid purposes.
."•til. Fluids should ho allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they limy consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
“d<i or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
lith. Should patients experience any oppression or
fuiutnom while in the lying (mature, so as to occasion a
r est lessuoss after the fever has passed off, or enough to
o'-easiim them to speak of it, they should have a littlo
vine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
pirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tlio face and
heeast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from fi to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 3 years, “ ft to 16 “
“ “ 3 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 80
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60 “
“ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered us adults, for whom
i cuspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
mu’ females, as a general rule, as much us males.
there in no part ieular care necessary in giving it to
children —those of ten years of ago frequently having
taken full doses; hut for a little guide, I have given Iho
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than intuits in proportion.
tty observing the above directions, t|„. medicine will
ho found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of tlio most sanguine rcali/aal, ainl many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full beuefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
notoil account of any actual necessity of such strict ole
-civanoes.
Hilton* or Remittent Fever.
tiive a teasponfiil of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till tlio fever is evidently passing off’; this
constitutes the whole treatment in till simple eases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in the
‘■ Kiiles.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie
:dlended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.”
Sen Synopsis.
I fin any case the bowels are particularly constipated
er routined, 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
.pwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the iultuonro of medicine —not easily operated en by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teoapoousful
may lie given ut first with advantage, ami even repeated
m two hours—if it —the pulse—has not been softened,
tints showing the medicine has taken effect.
ilathing tlio surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, lit these dillieult eases, will afford relief mid aid
tlio medicine much iu taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
tiive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse become* more full and suit, then only a tea
’ p<i.infill, to bo discontinued as the fever subside!. As
the bowels are generally routined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to o|ierntc In thW disease,
no time should lie lost to get them open, give some active
e It hurtle with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neees
■iiry till it operates; enemas (injections) may hlso lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
application* to tlio head. Quinine limy lie added to the
“ Fluid” If thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervosa* Fever, Typltu*, Ship mwl Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
Ah 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
n I practical use In separating them—at least so far as
my treatment Is concerned. In these lew fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will he required: still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
Pie common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will b necessary st longest to establish a permanent
• un vmlsoor nee.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment with
a looepoonful of “ Fluid” every two liours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to he continued
ynee in st* or eight hour* till tFe fever entirely subsides.
In b.ol cases, from three (u five grains each of guinine.
and <>ipsu:um (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to ouch dose. The
bowels sliould be kept gently open, and small portions
of homo Ue.paJ.tc should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo very loose. The patient
sliould ho sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
drink*—such us are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skill is very dry, sponging the surface as ili
rented in bilious fever, will lie found advantageous.
Tonic* should lie used during convalescence, iu all eases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(live a teaspoon!ul of the “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wiue-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or
half the quantity may bo given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The boueset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to he applied over the seat ot pain; keep tlio
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with lover, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers, lteiiieiuher
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or ths
other, or neither, n* they all commence with J'eve.r, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will bubutliUle eruption even iu small
(six. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will he regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make tile assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and ttiat there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
nut only my reputation, lint a 1 that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Fret Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“ You may abate the force of tlio eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pusluleat by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it muy
ho done. I nave not only proven it mug be, hut has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. Hoe the account appended.
(live a teaspoouful or more, according to the urgency
of tlio case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlio
Fluid once in two liours if necessary, until the feversuh
sides—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient;
but it Hhould bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
I u one ease, on the ship Duchess d’Orleuus, the touguo
and faucus were so much swollcu that the patient could
not swallow or speak, anil lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when ii was given iu teaspoouful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so os to enable him to take nour
ishment iu about 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 such readiness, as to seem
to boos little consequence. A single doso or two of a
teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tlio
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re
peated as long its tlio f“Vur continues, us in other cases.
Tlio bowels of course should bo 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 Muttering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect ol’ the Fluid in
many of tlicir trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlio labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to ho appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will ho relieved at oiico by a com
mon doso and retiring, itestlessuess, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tlio most convenient and
effectual remedies for 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
uud iritability of tlio nervous as well us tlio circulatory.
It will nut force sleep like ophites, hut it will south 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 tlio treat
ment us much as possible, I give under this bead general
directions tor all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tlio condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may bo or ought to lie called, it should bo given
wherever or whenever it exists; yot it cannot bo 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 iuany case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld ho given while
giving tlio “Fluid,” uud in 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 the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
due tlio fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) With the first doso, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though If caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of I fitter, herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the foot in iiot water; if tlio fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an 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 the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tuuics and stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, iu absence of lover 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 will remain on the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; iu short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time us directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will bo astonished at the ease
witli which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by
all, 1 w ill name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cat liurtics. —Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, sueli as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many (fills, antibilious, ,Vc.; anything
known to be good forsuch purposes.
Hepatic*.— Anything known to act on tlio 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, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, ami so on; each may take his choice and ho suc
cessful.
Tout©*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
asquluine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thoroughwort is one of the best used ill fevers.
A*< rlngcut*.— Such us check the action of the
bowels. Isuidunum ami other preparations of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulant*. —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. These arc the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bot'er “dia
phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia median.
1 shall not tax the reader with u long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of u trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packet ship One lie** D’Orleans.
which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
We tisik passage on the packetsliip Duchess d'drleans,
Capt Hutton, tin'll lying in the port of Havre, France,
mid bound tor New York. She sailed on the Util of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician iu charge,Dr. N. W. Seat, w ith
anew remedy of Ids own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it iti a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, yyhicli lasted thirty-nine days,
there wereabout eighty cases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From wluit we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced tlmt the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
beard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness mid certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, anil not it deaths The
foot speaks for itself.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the title*
of Har-aparillas, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are

who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
A ’cal llsc in l'ulmunary lUsmscs. I atu conscious that in
so doing, l tun actiugmost unprofessionaUy.anil deropi
torily to tlio interests of Medical .Science and t lie regular
