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 ex I tiiat there will cases is.cur whole thorn Is some 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. liuh's important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. Tt should be given in three or four time's its own quantity of water, aud may bo sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of uir, (though there should always be i’ruo ventilation in tlio sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. 3d. It must bo continued whenever tho fever subsides, or Is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such lie the ease under any circumstances. -till. When the fevor begins to suhsido,patiouts must be left perfectly quiot; free from all excitement; should not he questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to eon verse, read or take auy exercise whatever, till Muir own natural feelings, independent of all extra noons influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any couvorsatiou be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but he left quint to all intents and purposes. sth. Fluids should bo ullowcd, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as tho patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple detections, or teas, either cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. nlli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tlio lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness alter tho fever lias passed off, or enough to iiccnsiiiu them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the sane and In east maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TAlfliE OF DOSES. Korohildrou of ouo year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ l2 to 30 *< “ 5 “ 10 “ 2O to 50 “ “ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teuspoouful. 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.
