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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con tains tlie active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesamine, tho pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other valuable ingredients that render it far better than any other Cough Medicine in this country. RECOMMENDATIONS. New Or.I.BAX*. April 0, 1865. 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 Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have used with more success than any of the usual prescrip tions used by Physiciuus. J. M. Maitland, M. D. Gallatin. Miss., May 1. 1855. O. 0. Woodman—Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry Expectorant a fair trial and am vi ell pleased with its ef fects: better than any other article I ever met with. I would he pleased to have yon send mo half a dozen bot tles by the bearer. Respectfully, \Y. M. Mason, M. D. 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.
