other reasons might he added, hut these are deemed
- itHident to satisfy uU classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons an l more particularly applicablo to
the 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 ease at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, {mrsous can scarcely realize that they had
!"-en really much sick, and very naturally conclude tli y
wor i not attacked with lover, and if so, “it ivas trilling
little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of onawqueucu—lt would have passed nil’ with
out anything-,—that medicine had noettect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike tiie above follow the cure of a common case
i.i naturally as men think at all; ami it is not until
fbv in iividual lias witnessed many eases that he can fully
i di/.e the truth; and even then he may conclude) them
.11 vary trifling oases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
l e. n thus successful in peyhaps hundreds of cuscs, must
, .-part that there will cases occur where there is some
nrganlo or iocal cause so great aa to require particular
aticntioii, or though success til in reducing tfie fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “ fluid’ passes
oil', as tlie exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard
against disappointment m such cases that 1 have given
aud irequantiy refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fovern in Ucnernh
On this subject I wish to he fully understood, lly the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which thu human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; bill as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and In quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
vet all arc distinguished by the same genera) character
istics—that of undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the cclebrafod I’rof. T. Watson,
id’ King's College, London, whose work on the “ I’rind
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
• air medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority.
On page 834, liesays:—“Wo hear continually, both in
t ml out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Uy the public, Typhus Fever, ISi'uiu Fever,
Utlious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever,
Jtc. Ami systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxle, Adynamic, Gastio-Enteric, and
co forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon thu
mind of all this sub-division, is bad aud hurtful. It
ulic'nurageg a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that ran he relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even ttio most dissimilar of them, aud ure often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of bunting
up or troubling your self about a “mom*;” if you have
ft ver, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you
will be writ instead of any distinctciiaracter being devel
■ pi-d, so as 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 the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself aud others) uudor a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates, lfeai this in mind,
and troat nt once without regard to mime, and rest
assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger
ing uud dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have bo
omin'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 bo pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those
uncustomed to attendance upon the sick.
JtuUt important to hr observed in all casts in using tlie
NeglUive, JBlectric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
ltd. Patients must he free from till currents of air,
(though there should always he free ventilation hi the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its iu
tt nonce.
3d. it must l>o continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
Ik gins to rise again, should such lie the ease under any
cipcuinstanros.
4lh. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
lie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not he questioned us to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their man natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should auy conversation bo allowed in their hearing, in
w hicli they may feel more or less interested, but lie left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
nth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer: tfiey may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
6th. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintaess while in the lying posture, so us to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little
- piril, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TAIILG OF DOtiES.
For children of oue year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
teasjionnftil is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much ns young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, us a general rule, as much as males.
Chore is no particular care necessary in giving it to
,'lnldreii —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide, I have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, tlie medicine will
t>o found agreeable in all of its effects, tlie expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in luting thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may he obtained, and
not oti account of tiny actual necessity of aucli strict ob
sc'cvanees.
ltilioiis or lie mit tent Fever.
(live a teasponfui of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
lover, with such observances as are set forth in the
“ Rules.” But should there he prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should he
attended to at once, aud while giving the “Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If m any ease the bowels are particularly conatlpated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) wilii the
tlrt jiortiou; thexmuat be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and tho pstlelit is not particularly susceptible
to the Influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousftil
may bo given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—tho pulse—lias not heeu softened,
thus showing tho medicine lias taken effort.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, tho saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will affinal relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(Jive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea*
■ Moonful, to bo discontinued as the fever aulisldei. As
tiie bowels are generally contlued. and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease,
no time should be lost to got them open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” uud repent as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (Injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may he added to the
•• Fluid” If thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typlins, Ship anti Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
usiinly In degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there Is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
nix treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tie* common treatment, while with Ibis but a few days
will he necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should he commenced—which limy
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger iu volume, then to he continued
k Nnce in *t* or eight hours UU fever entirely subsides.
In bait casus, from tlireo to fivo grains each of q uinme
uud oipswum (Cayenne pepper; or some ton.*: and stimu
lant (Noo auxiliaries; should be added to each dose. The
bowels should he kept gently open, aud smali portions
of some hejuUic ahouid be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and niucilagonuus
drinks—such as are in common use in sucli cases.—
Where tiie skill is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during couvaiesceiice, iu ail cases
which h*Ve become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(liven tcaepoouful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bonevet; or
half tiie quantity may he given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The Ixmaaot tea should he given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to bo applied over the seat of paiu; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola anil Scarla
tina) or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As nil of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, tiie treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they ail commence with fever, hut
treat it ut once; govern the fever and there will he no
trouble; there will ho Out little eruption even in small
pox. This, to must minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, thut small pox, if treutud as
1 direct, will he cut short; attended witli hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. (Jn this I will stake
not only my reputation, but ad that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, i have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“ Yon may abate the force of thu eruptive fever, aud
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules hy
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
lie done, i nave not only proven it may he, hut has
been done iu numorous cases thut occurred on hoard
ship. See the account appended.
Give u teaspoon lul or more, according to the urgency
oi the case, with a 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 sufficient;,
hut it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and tiie
surface bathed, us thought advisable.
In one case, on tho ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus wore so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured hy dropping tiie
Fluid on his tongue, drop hy drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so us to cuable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or (lliildbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and uianuiug
malady to which tiie mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with sucii readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful. almost invariably giving eulire and per
manent relief; no aluiui need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re
peated as long as the fever continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
1 n connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, w ill save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform t hem of the happy effect of tiie Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tiie labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
i’aiulul menstruation will be relieved at ouco by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if uot
tiie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tiie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will uot force sleep like opiates, hut it will sootii aud
quiet tiie system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; lienee its use ill so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, l give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tiie Negative Electric Fluid
will change tiie condition called lever, or subdue aud
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may ho or ought to lie called, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
he appropriate means, and these sohuld lie given while
giving tiie “ Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will tliuu more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate iu due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something knowu to ho 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 hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tho part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tiie feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at ail agreeable temperature;
“tho saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will bo no trou
blo; if the patient lias boon 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 lias become re
duced ; if thoro is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tho 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 the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
” Fluid” at the same time ns directed, aud success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it til! you
have seen, and then you will he astonished at tho ease
with 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 tho Fluid, and to he fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics. —Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, uutibilious, Ac.; anything
known to ho good ini’ such purposes.
Ilcputics.—Anything known to act on tiie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on hy the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the •• Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. Aud one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tiie third, podophyllln—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and he suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bour
se! or thorough wort is one of the host used in fevers.
Astringents.—Sucii as check tho action of the
bowels, l.nudunum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Ca|sicum (Cayenne popper) is ouo 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, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,*’ •• anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” tliuu knowu in thu materia medica.
I shall not tax the reader with a loug list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packet ship Duchess D’Orleaus.
which cannot bo classed among ordinary certificates;
We, the undersigned, certify to the* following, viz—
We took passage on the paeketship Duchess d'Orleum,
Capt Hutton, then lying In the port of Havre, France,
and hound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au’
gust, 1861, with over n hundred souls on hoard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
|s*x broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated Ly the physicist! In charge, Dr. N. W." Heat, with
anew remedy ofhls own, which ho calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with 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 worenbout eighty cnees of small pox, some fever,
Ac., uud not a aiwgle death. AU were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what w e saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
to much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever ou board, and tot a death! The
foot speaks for itself.

torily to the interests of Medica! Science and the regular

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
tiie universal success which luis attended its use. For

AMERICAN COTTON PLANTER
FOR 1856.
rpHE Fourth Yolume of the American Cotton Planter,
X will commence with the January number.
In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for the
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragriqilis to
add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, in
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in the
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the plant
ing States, and especially Alabamians, the past history ~1
tho Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In the first place, we remark to our friends and readers
that tiie Editor, Dr. Cloud, lias again become the Publish
er anti Proprietor; and we hereby assure our readers,
emphatically, that in future the Cottou Plauter shall is
sue promptly by tiie first day of each month.
Flushed with victory iu the magnificent Exhibition el
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in the triumphant
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama Stale
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “willtake no
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 the members of the Society, that the Planters and
Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama,
will rally en masse to the support of Alabama's only (ex
clusively) Industrial Periodical, tho Organ of the Ala
bama State Agricultural Society, that its ellicieucy may
be unfettered iu tho great work of developing the im
measurable resources of the Keystone State of the South.
“ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Manufac
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” tiie object of the Ameri
can Cotton Planter is to
“ Improve tlie Soil and the Mind.’’
With a corps of correspondents, numbering many ot
the most practical as well as scientific minds of thetjouth,
we feel assured we shali be able to visit our patrons ou
the first of each month, to their entire satisfaction ami
profit.
Every family in the country, whataver may be their
avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper; be
cause there is no reading matter published to the world
so innocent, and at the same time so practically profita
ble in all the w alks of life as that obtained inagnod agri
cultural Periodical. The American Cotton Planter will
issue promptly hy the first day of the month. It will be
uniformly printed in magazine style, ou good white pi
per, with new and fair type, securely stitched and trim
med.
Our Horticultural Department will he sustained, t
heretofore, by a gentleman of practical experience, Mr.
E. A. Halt, of Montgomery.
