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 ■if Him ordinary thne is required to effort a cure. :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. liules important to he observed in all ours in using the Negative Electric Eluul. Ist. It should be given in tliroo or four times its own quantity of Water, and may bo sweetened or not at pleasure. dd. Patients must bo free from ail currents of air, (though there should always bo free ventilation in tlie sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its ia llnoucu. :!d. If must bo continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing olf; to lie resumed when it begins to rise again, should such be tlie case under any circumstances. llli. When tlio fever begins to subside, patients must he left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned ns to tlreir wants or footings, nor attempt to converse, rend or take any exercise whatever, Sill their own tudu/rul fedings, independent of all extra uomn influences, induce, them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation he allowed in their hearing, in which they may Teel more or less interested, hut bo left quiet to all iuteuts ami purposes. ilb. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as plentifully, und as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, cither i .

Should patients experience any oppression or fiiutiiess while iu the lying posture, sous to occasion a fr<t lessness after the fever has passed off, or euougii to evasion them to Speak of it, they should have a little wmo, toddy, camphor, liurtshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and lueast may la, bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

There is no particular care necessary in giving it to elilidivn —those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, I have given the ali. ivo table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more tlmn adults ill proportion. By observing the ulkivo ilii eqtious, the medicine will he lon ml agreeable in all of its effects, the expectation* ..f tlie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My otijoet in being thus particular is, that the full hen util of tlie medic ino may lie obtained, and 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.” See Synopsis.

Bathing tlie surface with water at an agreeable temperature, tlio saline wash, vinegar or spirits aud a ilcr, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and sid tlio medicim’ much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. (live two teaapoonsful and repent every two hours till 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. Signed, K. I*. Fabri, 84 Pearl street. New York. K.O.Fabri, “ “ “ “ .1.
