Other reasons might he added, but those are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all dosses unit jiersons in all condi
tions of life.
Tho above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to chsiih which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to the nature of thu case at the time ills first adminis
tered.
As lliis remedy gives no prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, In ail ordinary oases, when used noon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realise that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
wer ■ not attacked with fever, aud if so, “It was trilling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
iiotliing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out any tiling—that niodidtie hail no effect.” The general
impression on tho subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike tho above follow the euro of a common case
as iiafiiraily as men think all; and it is not until
i lie Individual lias witnessed many cases that lie gun fully
realise the truth; and even then he may coneludu them
all very trilling ruses, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they liuve
boon thus siiceossfui ill perhaps hundreds of cases, must

organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success,ill in reducing the fever,
It will again rise as the influence of tlio “Fluid” passes
off, as tiie exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in such cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Jtnnarks on Fevers In (.eueral*
On lliis subject I wish to he fully understood, by tho
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affoctious to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut ns they arise by a great
variety of causes, and ill quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, tin y of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or tyjies;
y tall are distinguished by tho same general character
istics -that, oi undue excitement In tlio 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 opinion I
advance, i quote from tlio celebrated Pruf. T. Watson,
ul King's College, London, whose work oil the “Princi
ples nnil Practice Os Physic” Is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthoiity.
<)u pi go 834, lie says:—“Wo hear continually, both in
and ‘lilt of the profession, different species of fever spo
il on of. by the public, Typhus Fever, brain Fever,
It,lions Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
& . And systematic writers are to the full us particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gnstro-Eiiloric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itspif under
various forms, I am persuaded that tile effect upon tlio
mind of all lliis sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
si rib,• for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that cun he relied on. They rim Insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and L would impress on your iniiuls the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, aud you
mill, Iw, well instead of any distinctchoraeter being devel
oped. so iis to lie properly named by the 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, thousands of cases
(hy myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this >u mind,
and treat lit once without regard to mime., ami rest
assured you will soon he freed from nil dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases limy have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as iHissiblo the proper course to bo pursued In
all of the most prominent fevers, though tlie “ ltules”
and “ .Synopsis” will bo umply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.

Negative Electric Fluid.

2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of uir,
(though there should always be i’ruo ventilation in tlio

should any couvorsatiou be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but he left

cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.

faintness while in tlio lying posture, so as to occasion a

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a leuspoonful is u common dose. Old persons do not
require as much os young, or those in tlio prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
rticre is no particular care necessary iu giving it to
children —those of ten years of ago frequently having
taken full doses ; but for u little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with tiro remark that, us a general rule,
children require more tllltn adults iu proportion.
tty observing the above directions, tho medicine will
lie found agreeable in all of Its effects, the expectations
ul the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being tlius particular is, that
I lie full tieueflt at'the medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Itiltons or Remittent Fever.
llivo a toasponfiil of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
cmisUlutes tho whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in tlio
“ltules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, nr knowu local existing causes, they should lie
attci’dod to at once, aud while giving the “Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
It in any ease tlio bowel* are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with Die
first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to Die influence of inediciue —not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may bu given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in twit hour*—ifit—the pulse—has not been softened,
tints showing the medicine lias taken effect.
Bathing the surface witli water at an agreeable
toiiiporature, tlio saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, iu these difficult cases, w ill afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two teaspoonsful anil repeat every two hours till
the pulse Itocomes more full und soft, then only a toa
xpoonful, to bo discontinued as tho fever subside,. A*
l lie bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
wry difficult to get medicine to operate in till* disease,
no t ime should bo lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “Fluid'’ and repeat as may lie neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may alto be
used to advantage: also, mustard to tho extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with tho bonds or flannel; also, cold
applications t,o the head. Quinine may he added to tlio
” Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nmnm Fever, Typhus, Slitp sail Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers am all of ono character, differing
mainly in degree, lioing all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, witli a general great depression, thoro is
no practical Use in separating them—at least so fur as
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patinnee will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tip l common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will Ik. necessary lit longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaxpoonfnl of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger Iu volume, then to b continued
yie* In six or eight hour* till the fever entirely subsides.
In had case*, from three to five grains each of quinine
aud cajisicuin (Dayenue pepper) or seme tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should bo added to each dose. Tho
bowels should be knpt gently open, and small portions
of some ItepaJu: should be given occasionally, even
though tlio bowels should be very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing und mucilaginous
drinks—sucli as are iu common use iu such cases.—
Where the skill is very dry, sponging the surface us di
rected iu bilious fever, will he found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during couvalescouce, iu all coses
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoouful of tho “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of t amove t; or
half tho quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should he given warm till the violent
symptoms are nllayod, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard piaster, or something of
the kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina? or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
aud .Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is tho most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they ail commence with Jever, hut
treat it at once; govern the fever und there will be no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even iu small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, ami doubtless
will l/e regarded witli ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will be cut short; attended with hut little erup
tion ; little or no pitting, and thut there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will staku
not only luy reputation, lint ail that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“ You may abate the force of tho eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission that it may
bu done. 1 have not only proven it may be, hut has
been done iu numerous eases that occurred un board
ship. See tlie accouut appended.
Give a teaspouulul or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts Or castor oil; repeat tho
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tho feversub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should bo given aud repeated sufficiently to keep
tho fever under control. When the throat is affected,
auy of tho ordinary gargles may bo used, and the
eurfucc bathed, as thought advisable.
In ono case, on Die ship Duchess d’Orloans, tho tongue
and faucus wero so much swoilen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was eured by dropping the
Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till bo could swallow,
when ii was given in teaspoouful doses every hour, till
uil ularuiiug symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throatwas reduced so as to cuublu him to take nour
ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tlio throat frequently, it is doubtless the
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 Klectric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or txvo of a
teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need bu entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in u short time. It should be re
peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases.
Tho bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing aud
soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains
anil difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by acom
uion dose antlretiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken ul a 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 not
the most so ofuny medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritubility of tho nervous as well as tlie circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth aud
quiet the system so thut one can sleep naturally aud
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlio treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tlie Negative .Electric Fluid
w ill change the condition called fever, or Bubdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may be or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exiHt, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
he appropriate means, aud these soliuld be given whilo
giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, ns they will then more readily act,
producing moro general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As tlie‘,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 tirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to lie good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho
“ Fluid” will soon relievo 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 tho part; if
violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, Bkiu
dry und hot, with great suffering, sponge or battle the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tho salino wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief ami aid tlio medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will bo no trou
ble ; if tlie patient bus been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlio patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must lie
allayed before any medicine will remain ou tho stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
givon plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, ami success will
crown your efforts; Indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at tho case
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know wlmt is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
•about what is used. I have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to he fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the differentarticles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat liartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tho roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Uvpatica.—Anything known to act on tho liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of tlie articles depended on by tho different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with tho “Fluid” or while tlie system is under Us in
fltiouce. And one limy choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, iiodophyllin— the fourth, mandrake
root, aud so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tunics.—Articles that givo tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and hitter herbs. Hone
set or thorough wort is one of the host used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, net properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tho best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry iu treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic.” **anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia meiiica.
1 shall not lax the reader with a lung list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, anil will
only refer to one instance of success, that on tho
Packetslilp Duchess D’Oi-lcana.
which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the” following, viz—
We took passage ou the packetship Duchess and Urleans,
Capt Ilutton, thou lying iu the port of Havre. France
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1851, witli over a hundred souls ou board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broko out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge. Dr. N. W. Seat, with
a vow remedy ol liis 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
In a very short time.
During tho voyage, which lasted thirty-nine davs,
then’ were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever
Ac., amj not a single death. All wero cured w ith unu
sual promptings.
From what we saw during said passage, wearo fully
convinced that the medicine used by I)r. .Seat on the oc
casion. i hiss esses inestimable virtues. MV never before
heard or read of febrile affections lining controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a death! The’
fact speaks for itself.

This preparation inis attained a wido celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fuel, any pulmonary complaints,
