Scat, M. 1. ■ asons why it should be used instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affection* : i]|>F<conemy of Time.—As only one-seventh * the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. ‘LI. Kciinoni yof Money.— As it costs but one dollar. IJrtl. — Economy of Feeiiig.--As it saves the suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; the arinoyanco of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; hut little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. Itli. — Economy of Thought. —As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting fubrilu affections; particularly while n dear friend is sick. sth.— Economy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to bo followed by chronic disease. Allt.— Economy of Life. —As tile cure is effected before ami without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might be added, hut these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes nud persons in all comii tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the iirst attack, but will apply with equal force to eases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the cuxe 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 tiin attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had lie -u really much sick, and very naturally conclude they won not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which guv* alarm—it could have been nothing of cuusequeuco—it would have passed off with in! anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general liapresiiou on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common cose ii naturally us men think at all; and it is not until tbe individual has witnessed many cases Unit lie can fully rili/.e the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very tiiiling cases, which would liuve readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have la in t litis successful in porhups hundreds of cases, must expert that there will eases occur win re there is some oceanic or local cause so great as to require particular alleution. or though success ill in reducing the fever, it will again l i e as the Influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment In such cases that l have given and frequent iy refer to what J have culled u “ synopsis.” licinnrUm on Fevers In General* On this subject I wi.-di to be fully understood, lly tho term •‘fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which tho human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but us 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 typos; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics —that ol undue excitement in tho circulatory and hervons 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 X advance, I quote from the eelebrafed Prof. T. Watson, ol King’s College, London, whose Work on tho I’rlnci pies and Practice of Physic” is a textbook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently stnmlard authority . (n page Kill, liesays:—“We bear contiuuulh, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever rpo i;.-n of. Hy the public, Typhus Fever, Itrnin Fever, llilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, and m forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I uin persuaded that tin’ effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bud and hurtful. It encourages it 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 can he rolled on. They run insensibly into each otiier, oven the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to thesamo cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling youi self about a “nawte;” if you liuve fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you mill he well instead of any distinctcliavaeter being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is 110 hypothesis basoil on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at tho bed side of tile sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and otliors) under a great variety of cir rumstancos, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers, lint as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, cither by neglect , or under some other treatment, 1 will describe a-* briefly as possible tile proper course to be pursued in all of tho most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will lie amply Sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Hides important to he. observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should be given in tlireo or lour times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. lid. Patient* must bo free from all currents of air, (though there should always be true ventilation in tho sick room.) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. Sd. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be the case under any circumstances. 41b. When the fever begins to subside, patients must bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not lie questioned us to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, (ill their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; tior should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, hut lie left qijhit to all intents and purposes. sth. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as the patient desires ami no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, uuy simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire. litli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while m ttio lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to i v.ision them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade wiih a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; orthcfaceand breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TAIiLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to at) “ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful. Ail persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom ato i-.pim>utill is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, us a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to i.liildreu —those often years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the shove table, witli the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. Uy observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, tho expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that tlie full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and aot on account of any acitud necessity of such strict ole s.u vunces. Ulllous or Remittent Fever. (live a tensponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple eases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iti the •• Mules.” Hut should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existfUfr causes, they should l> attended to at jonco, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. | fin any ease the bowels are particularly constipated or eon tilled, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the tirst portiou; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. When the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine —not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two toasi>oonsful may be given at first witli advantage, and even repeated hi two hours—if It—the pulse—has not been softened , tints showing the medicine lm taken effect. Itutliing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, vvill afford relief ami aid tile medicine iimcli in taking effect. Cengcstlvr Fever. litre two teaspoonsful and nqieat every two hours till tho pulse becomes more full and soft, then only ft lea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subsides. As the bowels are generally confined, ami it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease, no time should be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “ Fluid” ami repeat as may lie neces sary till It operates; enemas (injections) may also bo used to advantage; also, mustard to the extrefiaities, or Irlelton (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may he added to the Fluid** if tlionght advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing ueilitly 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 feast so far us la v treatment is concerned, lu these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required; still comparatively little, as they frequently rttn weeks under the common treatment, while with this lint a few days will he necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should be commotio .!—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—witli a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to lie continued ynce in six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. In had eases, from throe to live grains each of quinine and capsicum (Vnydntie ja-ppef) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The bowels should Ire kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic shoutd he given occasionally, oven though tlie bowels should he very loose. Jbe patient should he sustained by nourishing and mncilagenous drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry. sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous. Tunica should he used during convalescence, ju all coses which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, hung or Winter Fever. Give a teaspouuful of tho “ Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a btroug decoction of boneset; or half the quantity may ho given every hour till relieved, then, al longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should bo given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of tho kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and .Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of those diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, tlie treatment differs hue little from that of common levers. Remember never wait to learn tlie “name,” whether it in one or tiie otiier, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern tlie lever and there will be no trouble; there will b o hut 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 us 1 direct, will he cut short; attended witli but little c.rup tjon; iittle or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stako not only my reputation, out ail that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 liuve good authority; that of I’rof. Wutson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “You may abate tho force of the eruptive fever, and keep down, it is believed, tho number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission that it may he done. 1 nave not only proven it may he. , hut has been done in numerous cases that occurred on hoard ship. Fee tlie account appended. Uive a teaspoonful or moro, according to tlie urgency Ot tlie case, witii a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tho fever sub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but It should ho given and repeated sufficiently to keep tlie fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tho orilinftry gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchessd’Orlcanß, tlie tongue and faucus wore so much swollen that tlie patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoobful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced so us to enable him to take nour ishment in 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 tile mother is liable, will yield to tlie Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonlul. almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should bo re peated us long os tlie fever continues, as in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. in connection witli this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It 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 the labor of much of its pains uud difficulties; it must lie tried to he appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once 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 not tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and iritubility of tho nervous as well as tlie circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sout.li and quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; lienco its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for nil cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo 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 be appropriate means, aud these solxuld be given while giving tho “Fluid,” and 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 tho‘,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) witli tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to bo 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 lierbH, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tho feet in hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin dry and hot, witii great suffering, spongo or bathe the whole surface with water at uu agreeable temperature; “ tlie saline wash,” vinegar and 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 lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tlie patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vouiitiug, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some geutle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach has settled, give the “Fluid** aud 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 us directed, and success will crown your efforts; imleed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will bo 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 aro usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using tho Fluid, and to bo fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of tlie different articles of medi cine l have referred to, viz : tat liart Ics.— Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and maqy pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to be goodfersuch purposes. lit-patlce.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation uud secretions generally. Ally of tho articles depended oil by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tho “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliyilin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice ami he suc cessful. Tvnirs.-Articles that give time or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Rone sec or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringents.— Such as check the action of thu bowels. Lnudunum 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. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hurtshoru, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, hat. the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,’’ “anodyne.” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sodativo” than kuowu in the materia medial. 1 shall not tax tho reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that outlie Pncketsliip Duchess D’Orlcane. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, tlie undersigned, certify to tlie’ following, viz We took passage on the packetslilp Duchess d'Urleane, Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France, and hound for New York. She sailed on tho 9th of Am gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among tlie emigrants, They were nil treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. YV. Seat, with anew remedy of his own, which he rails Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which he si owed 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 duvs, there were about eighty eases of small pox,some fever, Ac., and not u single death. AH were eared w itli unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, |iosaesses Inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of febrile affection* being controlled w itli so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

RECOMMENDATIONS. New Oklea.ns. April 9, 1855. Dear Sir—The publie generally are fully aware of the thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles of Sarsaparillas, Pills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that are daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by way of advertisements. My object ill writing this note for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those who are afflicted, to use oue that contains articles of Real Use in Pulmonary Diseases. Imu conscious that iu so doing, I am acting most unprofcssionolly,and deroga torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular Practitioners of Medicine. 1 refer to Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have used with more success than any of the usual prescrip tions used hy Physicians. J. M. Maitland, M. D. Gallatin. Miss., May 1, 1855. O. O. Woodman —Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef fects; better than any other article I ever met with. 1 would be pleased to have you semi me liulf a dozen bot tles by the bearer. Respectfully, YV. M. Mason, M. D. This preparation lia* attained a wide celebrity from the universal success which has attended its use. For coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints, this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent and its soothing power to all irritations of tile throat, will probably he preferred to any other offered to the public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth keeping the digestive (lowers in proper tone. Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc tioned by. approved of. and recommended by the lending Physicians of New Y ork city. Every bottle is warranted to give satisfaction or the money refunded.
