fled.—Economy ol’ Keeling.— As it Haves the
suffering of a long HicltueHH und the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
ami tiiat pleasant in its effects.
Uli.— Economy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread anil anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrileaffeations; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
stb. Economy of Health.— As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
Otb.—Economy of Life. —As the care is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a futal
termination.
Other reasons might lie added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
Tin) above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases wlihdi have been subject
ed to or liat'e become reduced, Corresponding of course
•o the uatpre of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma-
relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
tiie attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very nuturdly conclude tli y
wer, not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
■a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
n n.idng of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine hud noeffect.” The general
impress,on on 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
the in lividual lias witnessed many cases that be can fully
realize the truth; mid even then tie may conclude them
.■•II very t itiing cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
n ilnis successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that tluve wil cases occur wli fn there is some
organic or oral cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success til in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” [stsses
off, as the exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard
against disappointment m alien cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.'’
ncutarks mi Fevers in llcmral*
On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. By the
term “ lovers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
width the huuiau frame is subject, including small j„ x
audether eruptive feversj but as they ajtse by a giest
variety of causes, and iu quite dissimilar constitutions
and babi s, tb y of course differ considerably in tfieir
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by tile same general character
istic*—tiiat o undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency iu the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of ttie skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone iu the opinion 1
advance, I quote from the celehrufed I’rof. T. Watson,
o kings College, London, whose work on the •• iTiiici
pics anil I’ractieoof Physic” ia a text book in many of
iolr medical colleges, and consequently tlundard authority
i>n pige (fill, he says:—‘‘We hear continual!,, both iu
end otlt of I he prolessioit, different species of fever spo
ken of. I!y the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, I’utrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever,
,vc. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
.Mucous Fever, Alaxic. Adynamic, Gustro-Euteric, and
o forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind ol all this sub-division, is bad und hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
liuof genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that ran be relied on. They run insensibly into each
will,-r. even the in ,st dissimilar of them, and are often
t raceable 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 you soil’ alaml a “mom;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
•dill be well .nstead of any distiuetcharacter being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by tile most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
lions or visions of miuil, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, ill hundreds, uye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon ho freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous levers. Blit as cases may have be
come developed before the ” Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
is briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the” Buies’
aud “ Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Hides important to be observed in all canes in using the
Negative Electric fluid.
Ist. It should be given iu three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must ho tree from all currents of air,
(though there should alwuys be free ventilation in the
sick room,; nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
lid. It must bo continued whenover the fever subsides,
or is evidently pussing off; to be resumed when il
begins to rise again, should.such lie the case under any
circumstances.
till. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not be questioned as to their wants nr feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or tukc any exercise whatevei
t'll their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, iiuluce them to rise or speak; uoi
should any couversatiou be allowed in thedr hearing, in
which they may fed more or less interested, but be left
quie to all intents and purposes.
~th. Fluids should he allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long us the patient do-ires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoction*, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patieuts desire.
illli. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so us to occasion a
costlessness after the fever luus passed oil', or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
rpirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face aud
breast may he bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OK DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from II to S drops.

“ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 80 “
“ “5 “ 10 “ 20 to 60 “

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
~ teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
net females, as u 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 lull 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.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
tie found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectation.-
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfect!)
astonished. My object In lieing thus particular is, thin
the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
not ou account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
ItiliouH or Remittent Fever.
Give a teosuoiiful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, t il tho fovor is evidently passitig off; this
- (institutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases ol
fever, wiilt such observances as are set forth in tin
•• Rules.” Hut should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should b,
attended to at once, aud while giving the “ Fluid.’
See Synopsis.
If in any cac the b-nvol* are particularly constipated
or conflued. give a enthartia (see auxiliaries) with tin
tlr*t portion ; they must he opened or the fever may risi
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 oi
upwards, aud the patient ia uot particularly suseeptibl,
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on b)
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousfu)
may lie given at first with advantage, and even tepeated
ut two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been
tint* showing tli” medicine bus taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits atm
water, in thesedllfieult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teasp ionsful ami repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft then only a tea
sno.iufUl, to be discontinued us the fever subside). A*
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequentl)
eery difficult to get me,licitte to operate in this disease
no time should be lost to get them Open, give some actlvi
cathartic witli the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be m-ees
eary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also b,
used tu advantage: also, mustard to the extremities, ot
friction (rubbing) with the bands or flannel; also, cold
oppllc itiotis to the head. Quinine may he added to tin
“ Fluid” if thought mlvisablo. See Synopsis.
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 grade, the puls,
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical u*e in separating them—at least so far as
m,v treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will he required: still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hat a few day)
will be necessary ut longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should he commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a U)*s|>->unful of •* Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
bjcotne. fuller or lager in volume, then to be continued
\ucs in sis or sight hours till tfu fever entirely su!-aides.
In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
und capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic aud stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should ho added tu each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should he given ,s:casiotially, even
though the bowels should be very loose The patient
should he sustained by nourishing aud mueilageuous
drinks—such as arc in common use iu such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will tie found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu all casts
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Given teaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of honeset; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The honeset tea should he given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ol
the 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 these discuses are attended with fever, which
in fuct is the must prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from tiiat of common levers. Kemember
never wait to learn the “ tuime ,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they nil commence with Jem-, hut
treat it at once; govern the fever aud there will bo no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even iu small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make tiie assertion, that smuli pox, if treated iu>
1 direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity ol
its running its ordinary course. On this I will slake
not only my reputation, but a 1 that 1 hold most dear,
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; tiiat ol
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 674;
“ Vou may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number oj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission lout it nut)
be done, i nave not only proven it may be, but hat
been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
Uive a teaspoouful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of sails or castor oil; repeat tin
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
out it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the lever under control. W lieu the throat is affected,
auy of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, ou the ship Duchess d’Orlcans, the tongue
and faucu* were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
w to-n n was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
ail alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling ol
the throat was reduced so as 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
i+st gurgle in all such coses.
Puerperal or ChiltUicd Fever.
This heretofore painful, daugerous and alarming
malady tu which the mot Iter is liable, will yield to tin
Negative tdectriC Fluid with sucli readmes-., as to seen,
to oe of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire aud per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, us the
Fluid will arrest it in u short time. It should he re
pented ns long us the f-ver continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels ol course should he attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tiie todies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid iu
initny of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing atm
southing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
aud difficulties; it must be tried to he appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will he relieved at once by a com
mon dose aud retiring. Itestlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at u 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 nui
tiie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous us well as the circulatory
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth aim
quiet tiie system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tin
name it may be or ought to lie called, it should he giv en
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when sucli exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving the “ 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 he lost As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the lever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tiie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the tirst dose, or soon alter, and should it
liiil to operate in duo time, repeat tiie dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to he good foi
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“ Fluid” will soon relieve tiiat condition ; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard piaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; il
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
die feet in hut water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water ut an agreeable temperature;
•‘tiie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits ami
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will ho no trou
ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics aud stimulants, particularly in low
levers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced ; if there is unu* a und vomiting, tiiat must be
allayed before any medicine will remuiu on the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleans* the stomach ; warm water, il
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic il
necessary; in short, treat uli the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
Fluid” at tiie 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 the 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 usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be tully understood by
all, 1 will name ft tew of t lie different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred 10, viz :
Cat liartlcs.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such ms castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, ami many pills, untihiliuus, Ac.: anything
known to be good for sucli purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on 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 the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podoph) Bin—tile fourth, mandrake
root, and so ou; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
os quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Hone
ie. or thoroughwurt is one of the best used in fever*.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum und 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 pepper) is one of the beat;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac,, the essences are all more
<r less stimu atiug These are the only classes necessa
ry iu treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bet’er “dia
phoretic.’’ ’■ anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” aud
‘ sedative” than known in the materia medica.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
lopendiug mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packctship Duchess D’Orlenns.
which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to Hie following, viz
We took passage on the packetship Duchess - d'Dl'leans,
Copt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France
iml bound fur New York. She sailed on the tub of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred soul* on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out itutoug the emigrants. They were all
treated by tile physician in charge. Dr. N. W. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
,n a very short time.
During Hie voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
here were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever,
vc.. and not a single death. All were cured w ith unu
mat promptness.
From VI bat we saw during said passage, we are fully
•otivinevd that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We m-ver before
heard or read of febrile affections lieing controlled with
*o much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A Crowded ship, a long passage,
*ntall pox and fever on board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

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,

THE Fourth Volume of tlie American Cotton I’lantei.
will commence w ith the January number,
iu thus formally announcing the ITospectus for the
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short parugi a)bs:
add, sanguine in the belief that, w ith the imelligeiit, in
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in tlie
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures ol the Flint
ing States, and especially Alabamians, tlie pa.-l history ol
the Cotton Hauler is its highest cuiunnnuatioii.
In the first place, we remark to our friends und reader*
that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become the FubibL
er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our leaden
emphatically, that iu future the Cotton I'luuter shall e
sue promptly by the first day of each month.
Flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibition ol
Alabama's Industry, as demonstrated in the triuniphHUl
success of the first Annual Eair of the Alabama Stab
Agricultural Society, the Cotton l’lauter “ will take is
step) backward” its progress is onward and upward to the
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and
by the members of the Society, that the Pluuters arid
Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufacture* of Alabama,
will rally en masse to the support of Alabama's ouly (ex
clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ ofthe Ala
bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency i-d
be unfettered in the great work of developing the no

With a corps of correspondents, numbering; many el
the most practical as well as scientific minds oi die South,
we feel assured we sfiali be able to visit out patrons ot
the first of each month, to their entire satisfaction am
profit.
Every family in the country, whataver may be then

cause there is no reading matter published to the wort
so innocent, and at the same time so practically prohu

issue promptly by tliefirst day of the month. It will l
