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.

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.

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.
