Reasons why it should bo Used Instead of any other treat
ment in oil Febrile affections :

lil.-Ki uuomy ol' Money.— As it costa but one

3rd. — Economy of Feeling.— Ah it Haves tlio
suffering ul a long sickness anil tbo consequent trout*
uutul; tho annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
modioiuu, tlmir uisagroeable operation, and tho jiuin of
Jong confinement; but little of the fluid being noenssary,
and tli.u pleasant in its effects.
-1111. Economy of Thought. — As when
know'll, it will remove all dread am) anxiety at iiresent
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
u duarfriend is sick.
Jills.— Economy of Health.—As tho system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is tho fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
tttll.— Economy of Life. —As the cure la effected
before and without reducing tho patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all ilangerol a fatal
termination.
‘•tiier reasons might be added, but these lire deemed
■Hill ‘lent to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
‘"lie above reasons an umre particularly upplicablo to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply willi equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to Hie nature ol the case at the time it is lirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and permit
a. nt relief, iu/ill ordinary cases, when used soon after
llpi at Luck, persons can scarcely realize that they Inal
I.’ mi really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
wen not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nuluiiig of coiisnqueuce—it Would have passed oil with
anything —that medicine had uoetlect.” Thu general
impression ea the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike Sue above follow the cure of a eonimnii case
s lurturully as men think at all; and it is not until
Hie individual lias witnessed many eases that ho cun fully
i dive the truth; and even then ho may conclude them
all very t. Illiiig ca ios, which would have readily yielded
tinny simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
Is eo i It us successful In perhaps hundreds of cases, must
■ Xpert that tli ’ii/wilt cases occur wli. re there is some
<o anlc or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though suceoss ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the Fluid” passes
off, as the e..citing cause may still exist. It is to guard
against diHuppoiiitmeut In such coses that I have givon
and frequently refer to what I have culled a “ synopsis.”
lltmarks uu Fevers In iJcneral’
tin this subject I wish to he fully understood, lly the
term “levers,” 1 comprehend all febrilo affections to
vilie ii the human frame is subject, including small pox
oid other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of cause.), and ill quite dissimilar constitutions
and litilhis, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of tormn or types;
yet all are distinguished by the samo general cbaruelor
isties—that ol undue excitement ill the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense ol’ heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
to show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, I quote from the ociebrnfud ITof. T. Watson,
m King s College, Loudon, whose work on the “ I’rinci
pies and Trainee of Thyme” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, amt consequently slatulunL authority.
On page hill, lie says ■ —“We hear continually, belli in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. T,y Hie public, Typhus Fever, Bruin Fever,
Hdiuiih Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to Llie lull as particular;
.Unrolls Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, O&slro-hiiterio, and
mu forth. Now, admitting that foyer shews itself under
various forms, I ani persuaded that the effect upon the
miuil of all this sub-division, is bud and hurtful. It
euuourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that euu lie relied on. They run iusonaibly into each
oi.iior, oven ibu most dissimilar of them, and are often
trace.tide to Ihosiuue cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
Mod l would imprest on your minds tho folly of limiting
•ip or troubling youiself about a “ name;” if you have
lovor, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you
null Im wed instead of any distinctcliuraufer being devel
oped, so as to lie properly mimed by the most scientific.
I'lns assertion is no hypothesis based on closet speeiila
timiH or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thutisumlH of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Dear this in mind,
and treat nt once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger
ing and ilaugeroiis fevers. Bill, as cases may have he
roine developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under seme ether treatment, I will describe
.ii bristly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
uni “ .Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those
uuoustonled to attendance upon the sick.

AII persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom

require us much ns young, or those 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 often years of age frequently having
token full doses; hut lor a little guide. 1 have given tho
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
lly observing the above directions, tile medicine will
lie found agreeable In nil of its effects, the expectations
of tlio most sanguine reali/.ed, and many perfectly
a ibmtshed. My object in being thus particular is, that
the lull benefit id’tlio medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity ot such strict ob
servances.
ILUtons or Remittent. Fever.
Hive a teusponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till tho fever is evidently passing off; this
■ .ii.-litutes the wliolo treatment in all simple eases of
fovnr, With suoli observances as uro set forth in the
” Union.” Hut should there be prominent local symp
toms. or known local existing muses, they should bo
.itiended lo at once, mill wlitlo giving the “Fluid.”
Roe Synopsis.
If in any cave tlio laiwels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; tiiey must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patieut is uot particularly susceptible
to Hie in llHence of medicine—not easily operated on by
inedicin* generally—a double dose, or two teuspoonsful
mav Im> given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—ls it—the pulse—has net been snfteneit,
thus showing tli” medieiue has taken effect.
lialhlng the surface with water ill an agreeable
h-mp-m Hire, tho saline wnsh, vinegar or spirits and
tvab-r, in those difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Hive two tuaspoonsfiil and repeat every two hours till
tho pulso becomes more lull and soft, then only a tea*
spoonful, to be discontinued us the fever subside*. As
Iho bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
l ory difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may 1,0 neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injection*) may also be
mo l to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
inotion (rubbing) with tho hands or lUiniiel: also, cold
aiqdteattoiis to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. Fee Syllepsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship ami Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As those levers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being ll of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far us
mv treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will he required; still
comparatively little, ns they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this lint a few days
Will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent
I'Oiiviilescenoe.
The treatment should bo Commenced—which may
limned lately follow any other without detriment—with
a tnspoonfid of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
\" re In *i* or eight hours till tho fever entirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne, jieppor) or some tonic and stimu
lant (hoo auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept guutly open, and small portions
of Homo hepatic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo very loose. The putient
should bo sustained by nourishing and mucilagi nous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cased. —
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should boused during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Tneuinonlu, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoonful of tho “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a Strong decoction of lioneset; or
half tho quantity may be giveu every iiour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say onco iu six or eight hours.
The lioneset tea should bo giveu warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, te he applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Kulieolu and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
anti Scarlet. Fever.
As all of these diseases are attouded with i'fver, which
in fact is the must prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Kumember
never wait to iuarii tho “name.,” whether it is one or tlio
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the lever and there will lie no
trouble; there will he Out little, i rajitina even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, anil doubtless
will be regarded witli ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will he cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; linlu or im pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running Us ordinary course. On this I will stake
net only my reputation, but a.l thin 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Truf. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page b 74:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Jlore is the admission that it may
be dono. 1 nave not only proven it may he, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on boaid
ship. Bee tlio account appended.
Give a teuspoeiiful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, witii a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub
sidcs—though one or two doses is generady sufficient;
but it Hliould lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may ho used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In oue case, on the ship lfuchessd’Urleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping tbo
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it, was given in teaspoonful doses every tatter, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle, iu all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Klee trie Fluid with sucii readiness, as to seem
to boos little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no ularm need lio entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should bo re
peated as long as tlio fever continues, as iu other eases.
Tiio bow els of course should lie attended te.
Ju connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tlio ladies, will save them much pain and suffering, it
is to inform them of tile happy effect of tlio Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlio labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.
Painful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Kestlessuess, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate timo, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is oue of the most convenientaud
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, lenioviug all excitability
aud iritability of tlio nervous as well as tho circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tho system so that oue can sleep naturally aud
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tho treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Klectric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue aud
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may be or ought to lie culled, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when sucii exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When Biich indications occur in any case, they should
ho appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while
giving tlio “Fluid,” and 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 tho Fluid” alone will sub
due file fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
if the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, aud should it
fail to operate iu duo time, repeat tlio dose; if attended
with diarrliu'U, give something know n to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local
pain or inllummutiou, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in 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 iu hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe the
w hole surface with water at uu agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits aud
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if tiie patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, iu absence of lever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed liefore any medicine will remain on tlio stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I generally give Homo
gentle emetic to cleanse tbo stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tbo
stomach lues settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlio
“Fluid” at the flume time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parlies may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., tv* pliysioians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cat Hurt lea.— Articles that purge or operate on the
bow els, such as castor oil, salts, Senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Ilcpatiea. —Anything known to net 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 the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopliyllin—iiio fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each limy take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics. —Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Hone
set or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels, laiuduuum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tiie best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, 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 better “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
*• sedative” than known in the muliria Medial.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to ouelnstanco of success, that on the
Packet ship Uuclirts D’Orletna,
which cannot ho classed among ordinary certilicates:
We, the undersigned, certify to tin*’ following, via
We took passage on the paclcetship Duchess d'Orleans
Capt llutton, then lying iu the port of Havre, France’
and bound for New York, She suilod on the nth of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge, l)r. N. W. Scut, with
anew remedy of Ills own, which he calls Negative’Klec
tric Fluid, witlv which lio 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 thlrty-nlue days,
there were nbout eighty cases of small pox, some fever
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From w hat wo saw during said passage, we are-fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of Mirilo affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small |mx and fever on board, and nU a d&UJit The
fact speaks for Itself.

Tills preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
tin,* universal success w hich lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, uud in 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 an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, It will
also tie found excellent, its natural and gonial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is tlie only Cough Medlelno that
baa stood the test of tlie medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of. and recommended by the lending
Physicians of New Y’ork city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. Wo guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or nnything else now extant,
tte'l’rice —One Dollar a Bottle.
