Economy of Time. —As only oneeseve.ntli
of the ordinary timo is required to effect a cure.
till.— Kumomy of Money.— As it Coni* but oue
dollar.
iirtl.— Economy of Feeling.—As it saves tbo
fullering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
Itli. —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.
sth.—Economy of Health.— As the system
Is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
Oth.—Economy of Life,—As the cure Is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a futal
termination.
Other reasons might he added, but these are deemed
ruiflcient to satisfy all classes and persons in all Condi
-I,ions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
ipply with equal force to cases which have been subject

been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
war not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off wilh

impression on the subject of fever le such, that thoughts
not unlike thu above follow the cure of a common case
naturally as men think at all; and It is not until

organic or local cause so great us to require particular
attention, or though sucooss ul in reducing tho fever,

off, as the exalting cause may still exist. It is to guard
agaitist disappointment in such casus that 1 have given
and frequently refer to whittl have called a “ synopsis.”
Kemarks on ii’evers In General*
Un this subject i wish to liu fully understood, lly the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
winch tlio human frame is subject, Including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and liabiis, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
y. t all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that oi uuduo excitement in thu circulatory anil
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To snow that 1 am not wholly alone in tho opinion I
advance, 1 quotu from tho celebrated Prof. T. W atson,
of icing's College, London, whose work on the •• Princi
ple and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
mil’ medical colleges, and consequently staiuiwnl author Uy.
On page Si.ll, hesays:—“Wo bear cuulluuailt, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
lieu of. By the public, Typhus fever, llruln Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Xervou.i Fever,
. And systematic writers are to llie lull as particular:
Mur.ms Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (lastro-Kiitoric, and
u. i'ni'lh. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I urn persuaded that the effect upon tho
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
('iicourag, s a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
ntribo lor a disease according to its name. There is no
Ini.-! of gonline distinction between continued fevers,
that Clin ho relied oil. They run insensibly into each
etiflir, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often
t raceubJo to tho same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will le'. well instead of any dlatinctcliarnctcr being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific,
“’his assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visious of mind, but ou experience at the bed
side id’ the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured yen will soon he freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have bo
-I,uue developed before tho “Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under soma other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent levers, though the “ ltules”
andSynopsis” will ho amply sutllcieut for all thoso
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Hales important to be. observed in all cases in using the
Negative Hlectric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must l>o freo from all current* of air,
(though there should always he freo ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in

Itli. When the fever begins to subside, patients must

not ho questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation he allowed in their hearing, in
w.e ‘ll they may feel more or less interested, lmt he left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
bill. I'Tuids should bo allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
c.i1.1 or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
bill. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to ‘occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed elf, er enough to
• ‘.ecasiou t horn to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over l and under 3 years, “ sto 15 “
“ 2 “ 5 “ VI to 30 “
“ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “
“ “ 8 “ 16 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
i.as|HKinful is a common dose. Old persons do not
n quire as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
.‘or females, us a general rule, as much us males.
Tin re is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those of ten years of ago frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, l have given the
•it-v ■ table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require mere than adults in proportion.
Uy observing tho above directions, the medicine will
be fouud agreeable in all of Its effects, the expeotatlens
of the most sanguine realised, and many perfectly
astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may bo obtained, and
not ou uecouut of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
(live a toaspouful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once In
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes tho whole treatment in all simple cases of
f-ver, with such observances as are set forth In the
“ Buies.” But should there he prominent local symp
tom''. or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, anil while giving the “Fluid.”
300 Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (seo auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must bo opened or tbo fever may rise
again.
Whore the fever Is very high, pulse rnutiing 110 or
upwards, ami the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence es medicine —not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage,and even repeated
in two hour*—if it—the pulse—has not been softened ,
thus showing the medicare lias taken effect.
ILittiiug the surface with water at an agreeable
tv t ape rat ure, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
w ater, iu these difficult eases, will afford relief aud aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two toasp ionsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
.qiooul'ul, to be discontinued us the fever subside,. As
Ibo bowels aro generally confined, and It Is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
■ itli,trtic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat as may be neces
sary till It operates: enemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to tire extremities, or
frietloti (ruhblng) with the bauds or flannel; also, cold
applications to the bead. Quinine may be added to the
” Fluid” If thought advisable. Seo Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are ull of ono character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, tho pulse
small amt wiry, with general great depression, there Is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. Iu these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will l> required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tlve common treatment, while with this but a few days
will bo necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
Tbo treatment should Ist commenced—which may
immediately fellow any other without detriment with
a tcaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
become* fuller or larger iu volume, then to be continued
tnce in six or eight hours till tRe fever entirely subsides.
In bad casos, from three to five grains each ol’ quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should bo added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic shoulU be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucitagcuous
drinks—such as are iu common uso in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will bn found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(live a toaspoonful of tho “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, suy unco iu six or eight hours.
Tho boneset tea should be given warm till tho violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to lie applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers, liemeiuher
never wait to learn the “ name,” whether it is oue or Hie
other, or neither, as they ull commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small
pox. This, tomosl minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many, i noverthclei.-
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will be cut short; attended w ith but little erup
tion ; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity ol
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but ail that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that oi
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. l!o says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Hero is the admission tnut it may
be dune. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done iu numerous eases that occurred ou board
ship. Seo the account appended.
(live a teaspoonful or mere, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two lioura if necessary, untii the fever sub
sides—though ono or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should he given aud repeated sufficiently to keep
tho lover under control. When the tliroat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tho chip Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, aud he was cured by dropping the
Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
wlieu it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie tliroat was reduced no as to enable him to take nour
ishment in, about twelve hours by tho Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gurgle in all such cases.
Puerperal ur Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of u
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as lire
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as the f-ver continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
in connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering. It
is to inform them of tire happy effect of tlie Fluid in
many of tlreir trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose aud retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is oue of tlie most convenient and
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, removing all excitability
and iritability of tbe nervous as well as tho circulatory.
It will not forco sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tbo system so that ono can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its uso in 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 the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or sulntuo and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to he called, it should bo given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it canuot be ex
pected to control ail organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and those sohnld he given while
giving tho “ Fluid,” uuil in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
timo will then be lost. As tlie ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tlie bowels al e costive, give a cathartic (seo auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon alter, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho
“Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply somo 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 the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, spougo or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,’* vinegar and water or spirits aud
water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will bo no trou
ble ; if tlie patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie
allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cl ause the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other eireumstauces, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will he astonished at the ease
willi which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, <U\, as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, I will name a lew of tho different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on tho
(towels, such as castor oil, suits, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many lulls, antibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good forsuch purposes.
llepatics.—Anything known to act on tho liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of tlie articles depended on by fhu different schools
tor this purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with tho “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
rout, aud so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set WT tlioroughwort U oue of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such ns cheek the action of the
bowels. Isiiidiuium and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stlmiilants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (CayeiAo pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences aro all more
or less stimulating. These are tho 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 materia metlica.
1 shall not tax tho reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
ouly refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packrtstilp Duchess D'Orleans.
which cannot bo classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the’ following, viz
We took passage on the packetshlp Duchess d'Orleans,
Cupt Hutton, then lying in tlie port of Havre. France,
and hound for New York. File sailed on the Oth of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all
treated by tho physician in charge, Dr. X. W. Seat, with
anew remedy es his own, which lie culls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During tlie voyage, which lasted thirty-nine .lavs,
there were about eighty eases of small pox, some fiver,
Ac., and not 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 by Dr. Seat on the 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
tronldo to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a deatht The’
fact speaks for itself.

who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Real Use iu Pulmonary Diseases, lam conscious that iu
so doing, 1 am acting most uiiprofi ssiotially.und derogu
