rs ft NATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Pr|r((l by Si. VV. Seat, Si. U.
■ masons why it should Ih> used instead of any other treat
ment in nil Febrile affections:
1 4.— Economy of Time.— As only one-seventh
ot lie* ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
4(i.— Economy of Monty. —An it costs hut one
dollar.
3rd.— Economy of Feeling.— As it save* tha
suffering of a long Sickness anil the consequent treat
ment; the amioynnco of taking nauseating (loses of
medicine, tlieir disagreeable operation, and the pain, of
long confinement; hut little of the fluid being necessary,
a.ni that pleasant in its effects.
dth.—Economy of Thought. — As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
3th. — Economy of Health. —As the system
is uot reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
Bill.—Economy of Life.— As the cure is effected
before and without reducing tho patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might ho added, hut those are deemed
ii'Aeieut to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life,
Tha above reasons ur more particularly applicable to
the Immediate treatment on the tirst attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
*l to ur have become reduced, corresponding of cuurso
to the nature oi the case at tl|e time it is tirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and permit
o ut relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
Hv* attack, persons can scarcely realize that they luol
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
v r * not attacked with fever, and if so, “it win trifling
- t little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have jutsseil off witli
■ *ut anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general
impression on tin* subject of fever is such, that thoughts
no! unlike the above follow the oure of a common cake
. iturally as men think at all; and it is not until
• ‘a* Individual has witnessed many eases Unit lie can fully
i .'alizo tho truth; and even then he may conclude them
all tery hilling cases, which would have readily yielded
to arty simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
I it thus successful lu perhaps hundreds of cases, must
all peri that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cnuso so great as to require particular
attention, or though success ul in reducing tho fever,
It Wllf again rise as tho influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, as the. s- mi ting cause may still exist, it is to guard
against disappointment in suen cases that 1 havo given
and fn qitciitly refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fever* lu General*
On thl! subject 1 wish to he fullv understood. Hy tho
term “levers,” 1 comprehend nil febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut us they arise hy a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
mid habits, tin y of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet nil are distinguished hy the same general character
isti* s—Unit ol undue excitement in tho circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or loss unnatural fre
quency lu the pulse, souse of bent, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in Die opinion I
advance, I quote from tho eelubrafed f’rol’. T. Watson,
ol King s College, London, whoso work on the “ Friuci
pies and Praia ice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
our medical colloges, and consequently statu lardauthorily.
Mn page 834, Ini says : —** Wu hear continual! ~ both hi
and out of tlie piofoaaion, different species of fever spo
ken of. Hy tlie public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Dili *ms Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
>"■ . Am) systematic writers are to Die full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gustro-Enleric, and
n i forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various I onus, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
Juiiul of all this sub-division, is bod and hurtful. It
on .magus a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe fur a disease according to its uume. There is wo
lino of geuuino distinction between continued fevers,
tout can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, uveu the must dissimilar of them, and are often
t moi able to tiiesamu cause.”
I'hu above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
Hiitl I would impress on your minds the folly of limiting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead id'any distinct character being devel
oped, so hs to ho properly named by tlie most seieutilic.
‘l'll is assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at tlie bed
side of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(hy myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
mol treat ut once without regard to mime, and rest
assured you will soon lie freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut us cases may have be-
I'iiiiiii developed before tlie “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under sonio other treatment, 1 will describe
as brielly as possible the proper course to he pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though tlie” Rules”
and •• Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

attempt to converse, reml or take any exercise whatever,
till tlieir own natural feelings, independent of all extra,
m ells influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may fuel more or less interested, lint he loft
quiet to all intents and purposes.
nth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it ils
plentifully, and as long as tlie patient desires and no
longer; they limy consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, nr teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
btli. Should patients experience any oppression or
f.iiulnnsM while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
n ■ulessuess alter the fever has passed oil*, or enough to
occasion them to sneak of it, they should have a little
wine, teddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little
spirit, ginger, or sumo other stimulant; or the face and
hieust may lie bathed in cold water; either of which
w ill give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of ouo year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 12 “ 6 “ “ 13 to 30
“ “ ft “ 10 “ 30 to 50
“ “ 8 “ Ift halt’ to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
toiispoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
• mire as much ns young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, its a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
cliildteu —these often years of age frequently having
taken full dosus; hut for a little guide, I have given Dm
above tabic, with the remark thut, as a general rule,
children require more than adults In proportion.
Ily observing tho above directions, the medicine will
he found agreeable in all of itseflhcts, tlie expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in lielug thus particular is, that
tin* lull benefit of the medicine may ho obtained, and
iwit on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
liiltou* or Remittent Fever.
(live a teasiHiiilul of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till tlie fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes tlie whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with sueli observances as are set forth in tlie
‘•Rules.'’ Hut should there lie prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should he
alt on.id to at once, aud while giving the ’•Fluid.”
■See tjynopais.
If iu any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; tiiey must bo opened or tiie fever may rise
it gain.
Where the lever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, aud tho patient is uot particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated ou by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two toaipoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, ami even repeated
in Luo hour*—ifU —the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing tie* medicine Inis takou effect.
llatliing (tie surface with water ut an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, w ill afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Cotißs-utive Fewer.
Dive two teaspooustul aud repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tva
spoonful, to he discontinued ns the fever subsides. As
ilie bowels are generally confined, anil it is frequently
wry difficult to get medicine to operate iu til's disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the •• Fluid” and repeat us umy be neces
ury till it operates: enemas (Injections) may also he
u-'.l to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
frieti ni (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
apulkeiitioua to the head. Quinine may he milled lo the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typliua, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
nsiiuly In degree, being all of a low* grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general greet depression, there is
n ■ practloal no* in separating them—at least so far us
my treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will he required 1 still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tie* eolnmon treatment, while with this hut u few days
will he necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should l*e commenced—which may
Immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful (if “ Fluid'’ every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to Is* continued
V'co in six or eight hours till tho fever entirely subsides.
In bad ciues, from Ihrco to live grains each of quinine
aud capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should he luldouj to each dose. The
bowels should ho kept gently open, aud small portions
of some hejHihc should lie given occasionally, even
though tlie bowels should he very loose. The patient
should be sustained hy nourishing aud mucilagenous
drinks—such as are iu common use iu such cases.—
Whore the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous.
Tonics should he used duriug convalescence, iu all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(live a teaspoonful of tho “Fluid” every two hours,
with u wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or
half the quantity may he given every hour till relieved,
then, ut longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
Tho boneset tea should he giveu warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to ho applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina.; or Ninall Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases arc attended witli fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, tiie treatment
diffcis hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn tho “mime,” whether it Is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut
treat it ut once; govern the fever and there Will ho no
trouble; there will he hut little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will he regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, lliat small pqx, if treated as
I direct, will Indent short; attended witli hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this l will stake
not only my reputation, but ail that 1 hold most dear;
besides, ou this subject, I have good authority; that of
l’rof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“You may abate tlie force of the eruptive fever, aud
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be done, i iiavo not only proven it mag he, hut has
been done in numerous cases that occurred ou board
ship. See the account appended.
(live a teuspoonful or more, acconiing to Die urgency
of the ease, with a dost* of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tlie fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
hut it should he given und repeated sufficiently to keep
tlie fever under control. When tlie throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may he used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess 4’Orleans, tlie tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or speak, aud lie was cured hy dropping tlie
Fluid on ids tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonl'ul doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tin* throat wus reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in ulsiut twelve hours hy tlie Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless tho
best gurgle, in ail such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
Tliiii heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tlie
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
tewqioopful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need ho entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time, it should be re
peated as long as the fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels o! course should lie attended to.
lu connection witli this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a lew general remurks, which, if regarded by
tlie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them ol’ the happy effect of tlie Fluid ill
many of their trials, in child hirtli, its relaxing, and
soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.—
t’ainful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com
mon dose aud retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate lime, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if uot
the most so of any medicine known, its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritahility ot the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturuliy and
healthy ; hence its use iu so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tiie Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or suhduu and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to he called, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When sueli indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these solnild ho given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection witli it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then he lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 call all elso auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) witli the tirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to ho good for
that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon reliovo that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wot 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
tho feet iu hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
wliolo surface witli water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saliuo wash,” vinegar and water or spirits aud
water, either w ill afford great relief and aid tho medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou
ble ; it the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of lever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tho patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he
allayed before any medicine will remain ou the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid” anil a cathartic if
necessary; iu short, treat all tin* prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at tlie same time ns directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have Been, and then you will ho astonished at the ease
witli which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant hy
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity
when using tlie Fluid, ami to la* fully understood hy
all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz.:—
fat liartica. —Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything
known to ho good for such purposes.
llepalics.—Anything known to ai t on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on hy the different schools
for this purpose, w ill answer when used in connection
with tlie •• Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. Aud ono may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophylliu—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take liis choice aud he suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or,strength, such
nxquinine, various barks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone
sot or thorougliwort is one of tho best used in fevers,
Astringent*.—Sueli as check the action of the
bowels. Luintanum and other preparations of opium m e
used; 111 q, many mixtures, uot properly astringents,
which have tho effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are ail more
or less stimulating. These are Die only classes uecoasa
ly in treating levers, though many others are generally
used, hut tho Negative Electric Fluid is a Letter “ dia
phoretic.’’ “anodyne.” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” tliau known in tho materia nuiiica.
I shall not tax the reader with u long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
ouly refer to one instance of success, that ou tho
ParketsHlp Duchess D'Orlcans.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
Wo, the undersigned, certify to tin* following, viz—
We took passage on the paeketship Ducln ss (['Orleans,
Capt Hatton, then lying iu the port of Havre. France
and bound for New York. Site sailed ou the 9th of Au
gust. 1861, with over a hundred souls on hoard mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the email
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated hy the physician in charge, l)r. N. W. Seat with
anew remedy of his own. which he calls Negative’ Elec
trio 1* luid, with which he S( Clilei to havo entire control
over Die disease, arresting it iu a few hours, and 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., and uot a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used l.y Dr. Sent on Die oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being 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 ou board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

Dear Fir—The public generally are fully aware of Die
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Rarsaparilliui, Pills, Plaster;. Liniments. Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through tin* newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing thin note
for publication, is to induce tlie public, or at least those
who lire afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
heal Use iu Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most uitprofcsßiunally,aml doroga
torily to tlie interest* of Medical Science und the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. 1 refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used with more success than any of tho usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

This preparation has attained u wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For

FOR 1556.
rrUIE Fourth Volume of the American Cotton Planter,
X will commence with the January number.
1 u thus formally announcing the Prospectus fur tlie
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs t
add, sanguine in tlie belief that, with the intelligent, in
dustrious patrons of progressive imp ovemem iu t! ■
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of tiie Plani
ing States, and especially Alabamians, tlie pa. t history ul
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
in tlie tirst place, we remark to our friends and reailvi -
that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become tlie Publish
er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our readers,
emphatically, that iu future the Cotton Planter shall i.-
sue promptly by the first day of each month.
Flushed with victory in tlie magnificent Exhibition ol
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in tlie triumphant
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama ‘isau
Agricultural Society, the Catton Planter “will take m
step backward” its progress is onward and upward to th,
highest niche of improvement.
it is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and
by the members of tiie Society, that the Planters and
Farmers, the Mechanics aud Manufactures of Alabama.
will rally eu masse to tlie support of Alabama’s only o .v
clusively) Industrial Periodical, tlie Organ of the
bawa State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency way
be unfettered in the great work of developing the uu
measurable resources of the Keystone State of the Soul.
“ Devoted to improved Plantation Economy, Maum;
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” the object of tlie Am*’.i
can Cotton Planter is to
“Improve the Soil nnd the Mind.”
With a corps of correspondents, numbering uiiuiy *,t

we feel assured we sluili lie aide to visit our patrons on
the first ol’ each mouth, to tlieir entire satisfaction e.tnJ

Every family in the country, whataver insy he tinit

cause there is no reading matter published to the woild
so innocent, aud at the same time so practically profita
