NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,

“Wims why it should bo used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections:
t 1.-Economj- of Tlute.—A ouly one-seventh
of flic ordinary time Is reifOirtHl to effect it cure.
Jil—Kcouoiny off Money- —Ah it u.>sts but ono

suilitring of u long sickness and the consequent treat
ittout; tile auuuyuuoo of taking nauseating doses of
oieilleiue, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long ooniiooineiit; but littio of the lluni being ueeensary,
and that plnnamit in its effects.
Ith.—Economy off Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affoctiouo; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
Jthr-Bconoiny of Health.—An the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
Ot.lt.—Economy of Life.—As thecuretoefliictcd
before aud without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all dangerol a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might bo added, but those are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes uu<i jiersous in all condi
tions ol life.
The ahovu reasons are more particularly applicable to
Ibe immediate treatment on the first at tack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
id In or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to tile nature of the case at the time it is lirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scurcely realize that they hail
bnm really much sick, and .very naturally conclude tiny
war; out attacked with foyer, and if so, ‘ it was trilling
-st little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of ewnsoquenoe—it would have passed oil witii
out anything—tl.at medicine had nucHcut.” The general
impression ou the Hiihjecl of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike lliu above follow the cure of a common case
a- naturally as men think at all; and il is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully
i < aline the truth; and even then he may eonoludo them
ail very tiifflug cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
„x;ii'.'t that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success.ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise us tho influence of the “Fluid” passes
oil, us Ills exciting cause may still exist. His to guard
against disappointment in suen cases that 1 have given
an,| frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
iicmai'ks on Kevers In Uenerab
On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Ily tbo
term “levers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small (six
arid other eruptive fevers; tint os they arise by a great
vsri'-ly Os causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
mil Imbits. they of course differ considerably in their
lcvtdopment aud exhibit a Variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istic*—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tile skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
.el vh no.*. I quote from the edehrafed I’rof. T. Watson,
o’ King’s College, London, wliose work on the “ I‘rinci
pb-s and Practice of I’hysic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently Umiikwlniithority.
(in pige 834, lie says:—“ We hear continually, Isifli in
mi l out Ilf the profession, different sjMioles of fever spo
ksn of. By Ibe public. Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, l.ow Fever, .Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Vl,irons Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (iastro-Kiiferir, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms. I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sill,-division, is hail and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its mime. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that run be rolled on. They run insensibly Into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
in ill lie. well instead of any distinrtcliaroeter being devel
oped, *o as to lie properly named by ttie most scientific.
‘• bis assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, loit ou experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thou.-and* of cases
(by myself and others) uuder a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons ami climates. Bear tiiis 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 fevers. Blit us coses may have he
roine developed before the “Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly us possible tile proper course to be pursued ill
all of tile most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
uni “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Rules important to be observed in all cases in using the
Aiegativ* Electric h'tuid.
Ist. It should he given in three or four times its owti
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at.
pleasure,
At. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should al ways be free ventilation ill the
sick room.) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
ill. It must lie continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the ease under any
iiiivnm,stance*.
Ilh. When tile fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not lie questioned us to tlielr wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise w hatever,
till their emu natural feedings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their bearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intent* ami purposes.
olli. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it ns
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
‘eager; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
bill. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintuess while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed oil', or enough to
or'easion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
|iu it. giugor, or somo other stimulant; or the face and
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TAULK OK DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and uuder 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ o “ fi “ l2 to 30 “
a .< 5
“ “ 8 “ 16 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for wliuiu
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
lea females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide. 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
Ily observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realised, ami many perfectly
astonished. My object Iu being thus piarticulur is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
uot uu account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
i.'ivanees.
ttiiioiis or Kemitliint Fever,
(live a teaspouful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once In
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oft'; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in the
“Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing cause*, they should be
attended to at once, aud while giving the “ Fluid.”
flee Synopsis,
11 in any ease the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
lirst portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
Itg.UU.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
t-, the Influence of medicine —uot easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teas|ioonsful
tuay bo given at lirst with advantage, mid even repeated
ul iwo hours—if It—tho pulse—lias not been softened,
tints showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water ill all agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, iu those difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much iu taking effect.
Congestive Paver.
(live two teaspoousful and repeat every (wo hours till
the pulse becomes more full ami suit, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the lever so bale lei. As
the bowels are generally ooufloed, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease,
no time should l< lost to get them open, give some active
ithartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may lie neces
■nry till it operate*; enemas (Injections) may also tic
use,l to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities. or
trie! ion (rubbing) with the bands or flannel: also, cold
ipnUaatioa* to the head. Quinine may lie added to the
“ Fluid’ if thought advisuble. flee fly nopal*.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship a ml Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As those’ fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly In degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general groat depression, there is
no practical uso in separating them—at least so far ns
my treatment II concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tls> common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to rstaldi.li a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—wlileh may
Immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger In volume, then to be eon tinned
Vice In (lx or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
Tn bad cases, froin three to five grains each of quinine
and oipsi>:m.he ilixy eiino pop]H*r) or eoiue tonic and stimu
lant (sec auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should lie kept gently open, and small portions
of some iuynUic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. The patient
should bo sustained by nourishing and mucilagcuous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry,sponging the surface us di
rected iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tunics should be used during convalescence, iu all eases
which have become reduced.
I'nciiiuuuia, Typhoid I'neiimniiln, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Uive a teaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bom-set; or
half llie quantity may bo given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The bonesot tea should bo given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Itnbeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Fox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these discuses are attended with fever, which
iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from tiiat of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the ••name,” whether it is one or the
otiier, or neither, as they nil commence with freer, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be ho
trouble; there wili I ,e but tittle, truption even iu small
pox. This, to must minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
i direct, will be cut stunt; attended with but littio erup
tion ; little or no pitting, aud that there is no necessity of
its running Its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
uot only my reputation, but ail that 1 hold most dear;
besides, ou this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
I’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, ami
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the an mission that it may
Im done. J nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous ease* that occurred on lx.aril
ship, flee the aoouunt appended.
Hive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversnb
sidos—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should lie 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.
in one case, on the slop Duchessd’Urleans, the tongue
aud faucus were so much swollen that the 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 teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.—
Used to wet thu throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous aud alarming
null ally to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspouuful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm ueeu lie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long us the fever continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
in connection witli this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much paiu aud suffering, it
is to inform them of the happy effect of tlie Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of Its pains
anil difficulties; it must he tried to lie appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ura cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is ono 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 the whole system, removing all excitability
aud iritnbility of the nervous us well as tlie circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and
quiet tlie system so that one call sleep naturally aud
healthy; lienee its use iu so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat
ment us much ns possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may boor ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in older to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur iuany case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then bo lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the lirst dose, or soon alter, and should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to he good lor
Hint 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 letter kerbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe
tlie feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
w hole 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 lias beeu 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 there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any go oil; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” und a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realise it till you
have seen, und then you will he astonished at the case
with which you can control all felirilo excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
übout what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, J will name a lew of tlie different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics. —Articles that purge or operate ou tlie
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antihilious, Ac.; anything
know n to lie good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to net ou 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 iu connection
with tho Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopkyllin—tho fourth, mandrake
rout, and so ou; each may take his choice mid be suc
cessful.
Ton it s.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs, Bour
se: or thoroughwort is one of tlie best used in fevers.
Astrii>K<’iita. —Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, uot properly astringents,
which have llie effect.
Stliu(Haiti*•—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or loss stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry iu treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better ’• dia
phoretic.*’ “anodyne.’’ “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in tho materia niedica.
1 shall not tax tho reader with a long list of proof*,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Pat-kctsliip Duclirtia D’Orlrnn*.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to tlie’ following, viz—
We took passage on the pucketship Duchess d’Orleans,
Capt Hutton, then lying iu the port of Havre. France,
and bound for New York, flho sailed on the Utli of An
gus!, 1861, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tlie small
pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all
treated by the physician in charge, l)r. X. IV. float, with
anew 11111011)’ of his own. which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it iti a few hours, and ruling
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were rtliout eighty eases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Hr. float on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never la-fore
heard or road of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, prompt ness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
snudl |iox and fever on board, and rot a death/ The
fact speaks for itself.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of llie
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under tlie titles
of Sarsaparlllas, l’ills. Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to tlieir notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisement*. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to iuduoe the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Ileal Use in IhUmonarg Diseases. lam conscious Hint in
so doing, I am acting most !ioprofossion*lly,and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to Woodman’s Cherry

This preparation has 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 ns a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred lo any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping tlie digestive powers 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 leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or tlie money refunded. We guaran
tee it to lie better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant.
