NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, I'repurcci by N. VV. Seat, M. U. l. .won* w hy it should be used instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affections: Ikl—Economy of Time. —As only one-seventh i>f the ordinary lime is required to effect a cure. or Alouey.— As it c >*u but one dollur. ilrd. — Economy of Keeling.-- Aa it saves the mitering of a long sickness and the consequent treat meut ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, anil the pain of long couflnoment; but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. 4lli.—Economy of Thought.— As when kuown, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present axistiug. respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. 9th. — Economy of Health. —As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor Is the fever subject to bo tblloweil by chronic disease. iith. — Ecouoiuyof Life. —As the cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasous are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment ou the first attack, but will apply with oqual force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course Vi the nature of tiio case at the time it is first adminis tered. As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in all ordinary coses, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, aud very naturally conclude tin y wei r not attacked with fever, and if so, ”it was trilling —a little cold, which gave alarm—it could liavo been iiothiug of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general impresslou ou the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until tlie individual has witnessed many eases that lie can fully realise the truth; mid oven then lie may conclude them all very ti illing casus, which would have readily yielded 1) any simple mediciue, yet persons, though they have tiesn thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect 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 as the Influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment hi sum cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.” Remarks ou Fevers lu General- On tiffs subject I wish to be fully understood, liy the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, Including small pox and other eruptive fever*; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ couslderably in tiieir development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that in undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre qnoncy in the pulse, senso of beat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that 1 aiu not wholly alone ill the opinion 1 advance, 1 quote from the celebrated l’ruf. T. Matson, King's College, London, whose work ou the “ Prinri plea and Practice of Thysic” Is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently staivbirdauthonty. lin pige 884, lie says:—“We hear continuall., both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. lly the public, Typhus Fever, Urain Fever, lltlious Fever, Putrid Fever, low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. Aud systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Giiatro-Knterie, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its muni'. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued Covers, Unit cun ho relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Tiio above is a great find, one worthy of remembrance and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of limiting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, aud you mill he well instead of any lUetinctcliaracter being devel oped, so as to Ire properly named by the most scicntitic. fills assertion is no hypothesis based oil closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of the sick, iu hundreds, uye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear tills in mind, and treat ut once without regard to nurne, and rest assured you will soon ho freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers, lint as cases may have be come developed before tiio “Fluid” is given, cither by neglect, or under some other treatment, l will describe in brielly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” and •• Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Rules important lo be observed in all cases in using the Negative Flectria Fluid. Ist. It should be given iu three or four times its own quantity of water, aud may be sweetened or not at pleasure. id. Patients must bo free from all currents of air, Ithough thero should ul ways bo free ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in ti nonce. lid. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed wheu it begins to rise again, should such lie the cumi under any circumstance*. 4th. When tlie fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not be questioned as to their wants or foelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till thoir own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, intluce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation ho ullowed in their hearing, iu which they may foul more or less interested, but be left quiet tu all intents and purposes. f>th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as tlie patient desires aud no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm os parties may prefer or patients desire. tltli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tlie lying posture, so ns to occasion a restlessness alter tlie fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tlie face and breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

All persons over ttfteou considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persous do not require us much us young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as mules. There la no particular euro necessary iu giving it to children —those often years of age frequently liaving taken full doses ; hut for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, witli the remark that, as a general rule, children require more tliuu adults iu proportion. Uy observing the above directions, the medicine will Ui found agreeable lu all of its effects, llie expectations of tlie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My e!\ject ill being thus particular is, that the full benefit oWlie medicine may lie obtained, and uot ou account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. lltlious or Remittent Fever. (.live a tea*poufill of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tiio fever is evidently passiug off; this constitute* tlie whole treatment iu all simple oases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the “Kules.” Hut should there he prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should he attended to at once, amt while giving the “ Fluid.” Beo Synopsis, If ill any case tlie bowels are particularly constipated or coutiued, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with tlie llrst portion; they must be opened or tlie fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, poise 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 toaspooiisful may be given at lirst witli advantage, mid even icpeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened, thus showing the medicine lias taken effect. ll,ithing the surface witli water at an agreeable temperature, tlie saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. CoitK*tlve Fever. tlivetwo teosp'xmsful and repeat every two hours till tli pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoon ful, to be discontinued us the fever subuldei. As tiio bowels are generally routined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate iu tlili ni lease, no time should be lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) tuny also lie n-,’ ito advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the “ Field” If thought advisable. Beo 8v mips Is. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low gr ide, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is n i practical use In separating them—at least so far us mv treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when lully developed, a little patience will ( H - required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under tin- common treatment, while with this Imta few days will he necessary at longest to establish a perniauont convalescence. The treatment should lie commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriu with a teaspoonful of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger In volume, then to lie rontinued V'< e in six or eight hours till t**e fever entirely subsides. In had cases, from t|iriu to live grains each of yuinine and capsicum (Cayenne pep;-t-r ) or some tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The bowels should be kept gently open, aud small portions of some hepuJw should be given occasionally, even though the bowel* should he very loose. The patient should bo sustained by nourishing and miicilagenous drinks—sn. bas are lu common use iu uch cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonic* should be used during convalescence, iu all cases which have become reducod. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Hive a teaapioouful of tiio “ Fluid” every two hours, witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or tlie patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to he applied over tlie seat ot pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, llubeola and Scarla tinas or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. A* ail of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, tiio treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn tlie “name,” whether it is one or tlie other, or wither, aa they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern the lever aud there will be no trouble; there will bo but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded witli ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make tlie assertion, that small pox, if treated as I direct, will be cut short ; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, hut a.l that 1 hold most dear; besides, ou this subject, 1 have good authority; that ot Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “ You may abate tlie force of tlie eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Hero is the admission that it may be done, i have not only proven it may be, but has been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. Uivo u teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency or tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until theleversub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sulticieut; but it should be given aud repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may bo used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue ami faucus were so much swollen that tlie patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when ii was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptom* 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 wot tiio throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargb; in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to wdiicli tile mother is liable, will yield to tlie Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teasiMsiiiful, almost invariably giving entire aud per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as tlie f-ver continues, us in other cases, i'lio bowels of corn so should be attended to. in connection with this subject, 1 can uot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will sure them much pain aud suffering. It is to inform them of tlie happy effect of the Fluid iu many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains aud difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose aud retiring, llestiessuess, 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 id’ the ills of females, if nut the most so of any mediciue kuown. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability anil iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli and quiet the system so tiiat one cun sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under tiiis bend general directions for nil cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called fever, or subdue aud eontrul it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may boor ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or focal causes, which, when such exist, must, lie removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should bo appropriate menus, and these soliuld be given while giving the “Fluid,” und iu connection with it, wheu 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 tlie fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, aud should it fail to operate iu due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to he good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve thut condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of letter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if violent pain iu tiio head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlie feet ill hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water o* 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 patieut has 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 tiio patient lias become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting. Unit must be allayed before any medicine will remain ou tlie 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 lias settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at tlie 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 usuully particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, and to bo fully understood by all, 1 will name a tew of tlie different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz : Cat Hartics. —Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibiliuus, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of tlie articles depended on by tlie different schools for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection with tlie “ Fluid” or while tlie system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice aud be suc cessful. Tonic*. —Article* that give tone or strength, sneli as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs, lfone se; or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringent*.—Such as check the action of the bowels, laiudanuin and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. Stimulant*;— Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are nil more or less stimulating. These arc tlie only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though uintiy others are generally used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a bet'er “ dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “ sedative” than known in the materia maiica. 1 shall not tax tiio reader witli a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, tiiat on tlie Pneketslilp Ductless D'Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, tlie undersigned, certify to the following, viz We took passage on tlie paeketship Duchess d'Urteaus, Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France, and bound for New York. She sailed on tile Pth of Au gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls oil board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leuving Havre, tlie small pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. \\. beat, w ith anew remedy ofhis own, which he calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it iu a few hours, aud curing iu u very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thirty-niue days, there were about eighty cases of small pox. some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All wore cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said pannage, wo are fully convinced that the medicine used by l>r. Boat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with to turn’ll ease, promptness sud certainty, or so lit tie trouble to till-nurse.

RECOMMEND ATIONS. Nkw Ori.ka.ns, April 9, 1865. Dear Sir—Tho public generally are fully aware of the thousands of remediesfur Diseased Lungs, under the titles of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., tiiat ure daily brought to thoir notice through tlie newspapers by way of advertisements. My object iu writing this note for publication, is to induce the public, or nt least those who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of Neal Use. in I‘uimeunary Diseases. Imu conscious that in so doing, 1 am acting most uu professionally, and deroga toiily to tlie interests of Medical Science and the regular Practitioners of Mediciue. 1 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 Physicians. J. M. Maitland, M. D. Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1865. 0. O. Woodman —Dear Sir; 1 hove given your Clierry Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef fects; better than any other article I ever met with. I would be pleased to have you seud me half a dozen bot tles by the bearer. Respectfully, \V. M. Mason, M. D. This preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from the universal success which has attended its use. For coughs, colds, and iu fact, any pulmonary complaints, this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat, will probably be 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 powers in proper tone. Remember that this Is the only Cough Medicine tiiat has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc tioned by. approved of, and recommended bv the leading Physicians of New York city. Every botlle Is warranted to give satisfaction or tbe money refunded. We guaran tee it to bo better than any Cherry Pectoral, Coil Liver Oil, or anything else now extant. Price—line Dollar a Bottle.
