JSfJSGA.TIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. D.
Reasons why it should bn used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affliction*:
Ist—Kcimomy of Time. —A* only one-seventh
of ilm ordinary time i* required to effect a cure.
‘id<..£eonnmy of Money.—As it c its but one
dollar.
3rd.—Ucominiy of Keeling.—As it saves tbo
suffering of a long sickness ami tbo consequent treat
ment ; tbo annoyance of taking nauseating (loses of
medicine, tbeir disagreeable operation, and the pain of
Tong confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its offsets.
4th.—Bconomy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
3lh. —Economy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to lie followed by chronic diseusu.
Oih.—Economy of Life.—As the cure iseffected
before and without reducing tile 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 and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The alsjve reasons are mere particularly applicable to
tbe immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
*.o the nature us the cose at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As til is remedy gives so prompt, cffoctuu! mid perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, end very naturally conclude they
whim not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of nensequsnee—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had intellect.” The general
jin ja'cssiou on the subject of fever is each, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
ns naturally as men think at nil; and it is not until
the individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully
realise the truth; ami even then he may conclude them
all very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they liavo
been thus successful in perhaps hundred* of cases, must
ex|M*et that there will coses occur where there is some
organic or local cause so. great as to require particular
attention. or though successful in reducing the fever,
it will again rise us tlio influence of the “ Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard
against disappointment m snrfi cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General*
Ou tlds subject I wish to be fully understood, lly tbe
term “fevers,” I comprehend nil febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, Including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—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 the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opiulon I
advance, 1 quote from the oelobrafod Prof. T. Wat son,
ol King's College, London, whose work on tlie “ Princi
ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority.
On pige 834, lie says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. lly the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, f 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 name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that ran he relied 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, ono worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of liuntiug
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you buve
fever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you
will be. well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by tho most scientific.
Tills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousand* 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, aud rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before tho ” Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or undur some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Jl tiles important In be observed in all cases in using the
Negative, Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should he given in throe or four times its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must lie free from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation in the
Hir.k room,) nor attempt to go about while umler its in
ti uance.
3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such he the ease under any
circumstances.
4th. When tho fever beginfl to subside, patients must
lie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not lie questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, rend or take any exercise whatever,
till their oam natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but bo left
quiet te all intents and purposes.
Mil. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and uo
longer; 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.
nth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness alter the fever lias 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 the face and
breast may bo bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OK DOSES.
For children of oue ycsir or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under - years, “ sto 10 “
“ “ 2 “ 6 “ VI to 30
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ 20 to 50 “
“ “ 8 “ 10 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspiKinful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much ns young, or tlioso in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those of ton .years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, I have given the
ulmve table, with the remark that, ns a general ruin,
children require more than adults iu proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable iu all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full beuetit of the medicine may bo obtained, and
not ou account of any actual massify of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
Give a tensponfiil of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) oueo iu
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in the
“ Roles.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, aud while giving the “Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
if in any ease tho bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
ii rst portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where tho fever is very high, pulse 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 teospoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been stiffened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Ilnthing the surface with water at mi agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in themcliificult cases, will afford relief aud aid
the medicine much in tuking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two toasp xmsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, tlieu only a tea
spoonful, to tie discontinued ns tho /ever subside!. As
the bowels are generally confined, aud it is frequently
\ory difficult to got medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with tho “Fluid” aud repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) witli the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of ono character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small aud wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my Uontmout is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tlse common treatment, while with this but a few days
will bo necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
I The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment with
a teaspoouful of “ Fluid'* every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger lu volume, then to be continued
knee in sU or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to live grains each us quinine
iiiiii capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or sftine tonic and stimu
lant (sue auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. The
bowels should lie kept geutly open, and small portions
us some hepatic should lie given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. Tbe patient
should be sustained by nourishing and muciiagcuous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—-
Whore the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, iu all eases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoouful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or
half the quuutity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
Tho boneset tea should be given warm til) tlie violent
symptoms are allayed, or tbe patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard piaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels geutly open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Searlet Fever.
As ull of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, tho treatment
differs bue little from that of common fevers. Kcmeinhef
never wait to learn tho “name,” whether it is one or tho
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will tie no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even iu small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will bo regarded witli ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion,'that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will be cut slutrl; utteuded with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is nu necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but ail that I hold most ileur;
besides, ou this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie suys, page 874:
“You may abate the force of tlie eruptive lover, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be done. I have not only proven it ‘nuty lie, hut has
been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See tlie account appended.
(jive a teaspoonl'ul or more, according to the urgency
of the caso, witli a dose of sails or castor oil; repeat tho
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
hut it should be given aud repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When tho throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tbe ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
aud faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teuspoouful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tho swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in aiiout twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best gargle, in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie 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
teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as tho
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as Jong as tlie fever continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of course should bo attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering, it
is to inform them of tlie happy effect of the Fluid in
many of tlic.ir trials, lu child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
aud difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or u cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is oue 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 tlie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but It will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally aud
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and coudeuso the treat
ment us much us possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will clmngo tlie condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such 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 tho “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then mure readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
if the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tho first dose, or soon alter, and should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat tho dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain iu tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tlie feet iu hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature;
“tho saline wash,” vinegar ami water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will bo no trou
ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics ami stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absenco of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlie patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he
allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary ; iu short, treat all tho prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“Fluid” at tlie same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will bo 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 usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no sncli necessity
when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cal liartics.—Articles that purge or operate on tho
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tho roots
or barks, and many pills, antibiliuus, Ac.; anything
known to he good for such purposes.
lii'pattcs.—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 in connection
with tho “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in
fluence. Aud oue may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrako
root, and so ou; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bono
sec or tliorougliwort is oue of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium m e
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which liavo tho effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, liortshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a hotter “dia
plioretic.*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “rehixant” and
“sedative” than known in tlie materia vtedica.
I shall not tax the reader with u long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to oue Instance of success, that on tlie
Pncketshlp Duchess D'Orleans.
which cannot lie classed amoug ordinary certificates;
We, tho undersigned, certify to tho following, viz—
We took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orleans,
Capt llutton, then lying iu tlie port of Havre, France
and bound for New York. Site sailed on tlie 9th of Am
gust, 1801, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out amoug tho emigrants, Thov were all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative’ Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-niuo days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
subl promptness.
From what we aavr duriug said passage, wo are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat ou the oo
cuainu, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness Hnd certainty, or so little
trouble to tlie nnrse. A crowded ship, a long passage
small pox and fever on board, and not a death/ The
fact speaks for itself.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
Nxw Ohxkans. April 9, 1555.
Dear Sir —The public generally are fully aware of (lie
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapershy
way of advertisements. My object iu writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least these
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Neal Use iu Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessionally, and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical .Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicfue, I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of tlie usual proscrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, 51. D.
Gallatin. Miss., May 1, 1855.
O. O. Woodman —Dear Fir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects; bettor than any other article | ever met with. 1
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by the hearer. Respectfully,
YV. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
ths universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and lu 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 nu appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also lie found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers In proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
lias atood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved of, and recommended by the leading

AMERICAN COTTON PLANTER
FOR 1856.
rpilE Fourth Volume of the American Cotton Pliuitw
X will commence with tlio January number.
In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for tli-
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs a
add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, ite
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in tl.
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of tlio Waul
ing States, and especially Alabamians, the past history i
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In the first place, we remark to our friends and readro
that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, lias again become the Publi-j
er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our readm.
emphatically, that iu future the Cotton Planter shall a

Flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibition i-!
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in tho trinmphaut
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama cm -
Agricultural Society, tlie Cotton Planter “ will take n
step backward” its progress is onward and upward lo the
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor aud proprietor, an!
by the members of the Society, that the Planters ami
Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabana.
will rally on masse to the support of Alabama's only in
clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the .Ala
bama State Agricultural Society, that it* efficiency may
be unfettered in tlie great work of developing iw im
measurable resources of the Keystone State of the Son'll
“Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Manufac
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” the object of the Ameri
can Cotton Planter is to
“ Improve the Soil and the Mind.”
With a corps of correspondents, numbering many ot
the most practical as well as scientific minds of tlieSoutli.
we feel assured we shidi ho able to visit our patrons on
the first of each mouth, to their entire satirfiictiuii hi
profit.
Every family in tho country, whataver may be fii
avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper: I
causo there is no reading matter published to the ww ! -
so innocent, and at tho same time so practically proli’
ble in all the walks of life as that obtained inagood ;i [
