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.
TABLE OF UOBEB.
For children of onu year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over l and under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “
“ 2 “ a “ “ 12 to 30 “
“ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
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. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not u death! The
fai t speaks for itself.

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.

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.

AMERICAN COTTON PLANTED
FOR 1856.
ffMIK Fourth Volume of the American Cotton Planter,
X will commence with the January number.
in thus formally announcing the Prospectus for tlie
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs tu
add, sanguine iu tlie belief that, w ith the intelligent, in
dustrioua patrons of progressive improvement in the
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the I’lant
ing States, and especially Alabamians, the past history ul
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In the first place, we remark to our friends ami readei*
that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become the Publish
er and Proprietor; and we hereby fissure our leaders,
emphatically, that in future the Cotton Planter shall is
sue promptly by tlie first day of each month.
Flushed w ith victory in the magnificent Exhibition ul
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in tlie triumphant
success of tlie first Annual Fair of the Alabama Ftau
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will lake m,
step backward” its progress is onward and upward to tla
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor aud proprietor, anil
by the members of tlie Society, tiiat the Planters and
Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama,
will rally eu masse to the support of Alabama’s ouly (tr
clusively) Industrial Periodical, tho Organ of the Ala
baina State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may
he unfettered in the great work of developing the im
measurable resources of tlie Keystone State of tlie Scud
“ Devoteii to Improved Plantation Economy, Mauuto
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” the object of tlie Ameri
can Cotton Planter is to
“ Improve llie Soil and the Mind.”
With 11 corps of correspondents, numbering many ut
tlie most practical as well as scientific minds of ilieSoutb.
we feel assured we shali be able to visit oar patrons ou
the first of each month, to their entire satisfaction ami
profit.
Every family in the country’, whataver msy he their
avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper; he- |
cause there is no reading matter published to the world
so innocent, and at tho same time so practically pruliia
hie in all the walks of life as tiiat obtained in agood agri
cultural Periodical. The American Cotton Planter will
issue promptly by the first day of the month. It will I*
uniformly printed in magazine style, on good w hite pi
per, witli new and fair type, securely stitched and trim j
rued.
Our Horticultural Department will be sustained, [
heretofore, by a gentleman of practical exi>erience. V
