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. “ ovur 1 ami under 2 years, “ ft to Ift “ u “ ” ft “ l2 to 30 “ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to ftO “ ” “ 8 “ Ift half to a teaspoonful. 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.

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.

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.
