NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. D.
ItefMolM why It should bo used inn toad of any other troat
uient in nil Febrile affections:
I st.— Srouomy of Time.—Asoply on*-seventh

:til.—Kr,ouauiy of Money. —A it o*ts but ouo
Lliur.
•trd.—Economy of Feellis jg.--As it saves tti
enduring of a long Hickuo** and lliu consequent treat
ment; tilt) annoyance of taking uauntiatiiig tea of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of the Quid being necessary,
and that pieanaut in in effects.
4th.—Economy of Thought.—At when
kuowu, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
exiting, respecting febrile affection*; particularly while
a dear friend ia sick.
51 It*—Economy of Health.—As the syeteui
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
flllt.— Economy of Life.—As the cure iaeffected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reason i might be added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy ull classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
Tile above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on tin, tirst uttiu-k, but will
apply with equal force to esses which have been subject
'd to or have tiecome reduced, Corresponding of course
*n the nature of the case ut the time ills first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, clTectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon alter
the attack, persons can scarcely reali/.o that they liad
I sea really much sick, und very naturally conclude they
wer . not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling
—a little cold, which gave alarm —it could huve been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine hul no effect.” The general
iinpre s.oti 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 ull; and it is not until
llio individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully
iv.dike the truth; niol even then he may conclude them
all very trifling oases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
l>. ii thus successful in perhaps hundreds of caeca, must
expect that there will esses occur where there is some
organic or 10. ill cause so great as to require particular
uti.l,l ion, or though success.ul in reducing ttio fever,
it will again rlso as the influence of the “fluid” passes
oir, a-s the exciting cause niuy still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in sum cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General*
On this subject l wish to be fully understood. Uy the
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend ull febrile nll'eetions to
wlii ‘h the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety us causes, and iu quits, dissimilar constitutions
mid habits, they of course differ considerably in their
d'-velopiiicnt and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
y. t ull are distinguished by the haiiiu general character
istics—Unit ul undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or loss unnatural fre
quency iu the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that X am not wholly alone in the opinion I
mlvit, too, 1 quote from tile celebrated Trot. T. W atson,
el Kings College, Louden, whose work on the “ I’rlnot
phis und I'raclice of Physic” is a text hook in many ul‘
our medical colleges, und consequently standard avtlieirity.
liu pi.tge *34, lie says:—“We liuur continual! \, both ill
and out us the profession, different species of fever s|s>-
li-ii of. 15y tlie public, Typhus fever, Brain fever,
Bilious fever, Putrid fever, Low fever. Nervous fever,
Ac. And systematic writers arc to the full as particular;
.Uncoils fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Enterk 1 , and
so forth. Now, admitting that lever shows itself under
various forms, i am persuaded that the effort upon the
mind us all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
eiie.oiintgus n disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe lor a disease according to its n owe. There is no
ii iiuf genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that cau ho relied on. They run insensibly into ouch
other, oven the most dissimilar of them, and are often
li aceul.lu to tile same cause.”
Tlie above is a great fact, ouo worthy of remembrance
ami 1 would impress on your minds the felly of limiting
up or troubling yourself about a ‘•mum;'’ if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
mill iv i vett instead of any distinutcharacter being devel
oped, do as to lie properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of rniud, hut on experience at tlio bed
ride of Ilio sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself aud others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this iu mind,
and treat itt once without regard to name., aud rest
assured you will soon bo freed from ail dread of linger
ing and dangerous lovers. But as casus may huve be
come developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either by
to gleet, or under some other treatment, I will describe
a- briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
nil of tlie must prominent fevers, though the “ Buies”
and “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all tliosa
arcus turned to attendance upon the sick.

fiiutiiess while iu the lying posture, sous to occasion a

will give immediate relief.

not ou account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
sel'V.l Ill'CS.
Bilious ox* Remittent Fever.
Give a loasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till tlie fever is evidently passing off; tills
constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu tile
■hutrs.” Bill should there bo prominent local synqw
toms, or known local existing causes, they should ho
alti'inled to at once, and while giving tlio “Fluid.”

Bathing tlie surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, tlio saline wash, vinegar or spirits aud

the pulao become* more still and soft, tlmn only u ton
spin,aful, to bo discontinued as the fever aulwidoi. As
I li. Isiwels are generally routined, and it is frequently
very difficult to got to operate in tills disease,
no time should bo lost to get tlieiu open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” anil repeat ns may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) nmy also be
usd to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with tho bauds or flannel; also, cold
applications to Uio head. Quinine may he added to tlio
“ Fluid” If thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship aail Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of ono character, differing
nsiinly iu degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a geueral great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned, lu these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently rttn weeks under
tie l common treatment, while with this Imta few days
will let necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which iiiay
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonfnl of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
become* fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
yiee in six or eight hours till tA*e fever entirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to live grains each of quinine
aud mipsicum (Cayenne |w-p[>ei') or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should ho added to each dose. Tlie
bowels should hie kept gently open, and small portions
of some Impaste should he given occasionally, even
though the hinvtd* should he very loose. The patient
should bo sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
drinks—such as are in common uso in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilions lever, will is- found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Dung
or Winter Fever.
Given teaspooufui of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wiue-ghtsaful of a strong decoction of Is,n. set; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The boueset tea should lie given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or tlie patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep tho
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tinal or Small Pox, V arloloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of tliesc diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, tlie Treatment
differs lme little from that of common fevers. Kewember
never wait to learn tho “nance,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as tliey all commence with J'ever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will ins but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
Ik,ldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, mill he cat short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, und that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. Gn this 1 will stake
uot only my reputation, hat ail that I hoid most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“You may abate tlio force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, tho number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tho admission that it may
he done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, hut has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on hoard
ship, bee tlio account appended.
Give a teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the'fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
hut it should ho given aud repeated sufficiently to keep
tlie fever under control. When tho throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may ho used, and tlie
surface hatlu'd, us thought advisable.
In one case, on tho ship Duchess d’Urhmis, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swulluw or speak, and he was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow,
when it wits given in teaspooufui doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
the throat was reduced su as to enable him to take nour
ishment in alsmt twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
beet gargle iu ail such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
Tliis heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlio mother is liuble, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to boos little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teas]Ksiiiful, almost invariably giving entire aud per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re
peated us lung us the fever continues, as ill other cases.
Tlie bowels of course should he attended to.
lu connection with tliis subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making u few geueral remarks, which, if regarded by
tile 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-birtli, its relaxing and
southing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains,
aud difficulties; it must lie tried to he appreciated.—
l’ainful menstruation will he relieved ut once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is ouo of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of tlie ills of females, if not
the most su of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tho whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as wc-11 ns tlie circulatory,
it will uot force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally aud
healthy; hence its use iu so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tlio Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may bo or ought to he called, it should he giten
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur iuany case, they should
bo appropriate means, and thoso sohuld he given while
giving tho “Fluid,” auil in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels ale costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soou after, aud should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the doso; if attended
with diarrhea, give something kuowu to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“ 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 iu cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, oithor will afford great relief und aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after whicli there will be no trou
ble ; if tlio patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tunics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomitiug, that must ho
allayed before any medicine will remain ou tlie stomach
to do any goad; for tliis purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” ami a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“ Fluid” at tho same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then yon will bo astonished at tho ease
with which you can control ail febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel ut a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
<ui hart ic s.—Articles that purge or operate on tho
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, aud many pills, antiblliutts, Ac.; anything
known to lie good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by tlio different schools
for tliis purpose, will answer when used in connection
with tlie “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tlie third, podophyllin—tho fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone
set or thoroughwort is ouo of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check tlie action of tho
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
whicli have tlie effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of tlio best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Ac., the essences ate all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, hut tlie Negative Electric Fluid is n better “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“ sedative” than known ill the materia medica,
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
dapending mainly on tlio results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on tlie
Packet ship Duchess D’Orlcan*.
whichcauuot l>e classed among ordinary certlileates:
We, tlie undersigned, certify to tlie following, viz—
Wo took passage on the packotship Duchess d'OrtuMM,
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the Pth of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred sonls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tho small
pox broke rut among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge,Dr. N. W. Peat, with
anew remedy of hie own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over tlie disease, arresting it in a few hours, aud curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., §nd not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
couviucoi t hat tho medicine used by l)r. Seat oil the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard er read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much eiu>e, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on hoard, aud not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
tlie Universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of tile throat,
will probably be preferred to any ether offered to tlie
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmt h
keeping tho digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that tliis is the only Gough Medicine that
has stood til* test of tlie medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved of. and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better tlmn any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else uow extant.

AMERICAN COTTON PLANTER
FOR 185 G.
’l’ll E Fourth Volume of the American Cotton Plante:,
J. will commence with the January number.
in thus formally announcing the Prospectus for tlie
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs to
add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, in
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in the
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of tlie Plant
ing States, and especially Alabamians, the past history ~i
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In the tirst place, we remark to our friends and readers
that tlie Editor, Dr. Cioud, has again become the Publish
er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our readei...
emphatically, that, in future the Cotton Planter shall i.-
suo promptly by the first day of each month.
Flushed with victory iu tlie magnificent Exhibition ..I
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated iu the triumphal,i
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama Blah
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “will take in
step backward” its progress is onward aud upward to the
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor aud proprietor, uiai
by the members of the Society, that the Planter* ami
Farmers, the Mechanics und Manufactures of Ahdiauiii,
will rally en masse to the support of Alabama's only in
clusively) industrial Periodical, the Organ of tla .!-.-
huma State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may
lie unfettered in the great work of developing i ‘-
measurable resources of the Keystone State <3 t he s.u.h,
“Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Main.'..,--
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” the object of the Am.ri
can Cotton Planter is to
“Improve tlie Soil and the Mind.”
With a corps of correspondents, numbering many “I
tlie most practical as well as scientific minds of the South,
we feel assured we shali be able to visit our patrons on
the first of each month, to tlieir entire satislactiuii xnd
profit.
Every family in the country, wbataver liisy he flair
avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper; Ij~
cause there is uo reading matter published to tlie worl.i
so innocent, and at the sometime so practically pniiilu
hie in all tlie walks of life as that obtained iu a g""d agri
cultural Periodical. The American Cotton Plauh-r will
issue promptly by tliefirst day of the month. It will l”
