Pictinrcd by N, W. Seal, M. 1).
■ tnoas why it aliouU)be used instead of any other treat
iui nt in all Febrile affections :
1 M-Eamoiuy of Time.--Asonly onc-stcutlh
i* tire ordinary thuo is required to effect a cure.
diiiCcoiioiny of Money.—As it c ‘its but oue
Mlai.
3rd.—Economy of Feeliug.-As it saves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
mmticiuo, their disagreeable operation, and tho paiu of
long confinement; bat little of tile fluid boing necessary,
‘.jii that plea-ant in its clients.
Itii.—Economy of Thought.—As when
known, it wifi remove all dread and anxiety at present
listing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend Is sick.
Sth.-Economy of Health.—As the system
Is not p lucud, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
8 th.—Economy of Life.—As the cure is effected
be fori and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, ill a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed
- efficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condl
ious of life.
Th* above reasons ar ■ more particularly applicable to
‘lie immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
i t o or have become reduced, corresponding of course
‘ i the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and pertnu
” hi relief, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after
’ be atSir’t, persons can scarcely roaltz, that they had
(icon really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y
vet, not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
i “hlng of consequence—it would have passed off with
■: .nything—that medicine had nocfloct.” The general
iJliPi 1 -V’ h oil the subject of lever Is siu h, (liat thoughts
not unlike the above follow the euro of a common ease
naturally as men think at all: and it is not until
• individual lias witnessed many cases that lie can fuliy
feat. i/e the truth; and even then he may conclude them
ul! very ti ijfiug c,i*es, which would have readily yielded
to any simple Medicine, yet persons, though they have
I— n thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expert that tie'ro wil eases occur wln re there is some
sigunlc or local cause so great as to require particular
utteiitlou. or though success ul In rislucing the fever,
It will again vl-o as tlieinfftunico of the “Flub!” passes
otf, us the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in suen cases that I have given
and frequently refer to wliat i have callod a “synopsis.”
Ilomarltsojx Ftvers In General*
On this subject I wish to bo fully uudcrJtbod. By the
■ ovui “levers,” 1 comprelieud all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive lasers; hut as they arise liy a great
variety of causes, and m quits* dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably In their
bel,.placet and exhibit a variety of form* or types;
yvt all are distinguished by the same general character
i;>Ugs—that o; undue excitement iu the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To libw Unit I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
>.nice, 1 quote from the relebrufcd l’rof. X. Mat on,
; King/: College, Loudon, whose work on the ■* Triuci
pi is and Practice of Physio” is a text book in many of
mr medical colleges, anil consequently sUuuhirJautlairity.
>n p ige Kill, he. says:—"We. hear continually, lioth in
and out of (lie profession, different species ~f fever spa
k. li of. lly tile public, ‘typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
•. And systematic writers are lu the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, UastroKnteric, and
r forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the
,iiiud of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
encourageri a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
►eritai for a disease according to its name. There is no
tin ■ of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
thill can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
oilier, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
tra ‘oable to tile same cause.”
The übive is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 wliuld imprest on your minds the folly of liuutiug
.p or troubling yoinself about a “ name;” il you have
l v r, treat it at ogee as hereafter directed,’ and you
iv.V ae mjcJl :nsteiul rtf any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific,
t'libf assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed
side of the sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and Other.) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons mid climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you wilt soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut ils cases may have bo
eoine developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
udglect, or under sumo other treatment, I will describe
; briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
.ill of the most prominent fevers, though the “ ltules”
and ••,synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Rules important to be observed in all eases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2.1. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free veutilatiou ill the
lick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
Bd. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off'; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such he the case under any
e ire u in stances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned ns 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
■ lioiilit any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may fed more or loss interested, lint lie left
quiet to all intents and purposed.
6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, audits long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
litli. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness w hile in tile lying posture, so as to occasion a
vest le.ssnc.ss after tho fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them 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
Preset may l>e 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 1 and under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “
“ *• 2 “ 6 “ 12t030 “
“ “ 6 “ 111 “ “0 to f>o “
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
ati iispoonful is a common dose. Old ihtsous do not
quire hs much as young, or those in the prime of life;
ii- females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
lot.lren—those often years of ago frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide. 1 have given the
,if . o table, with the remark that, as u general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing tlui above directions, the medicine will
he found agreeable iu ail of its effects, tho expectations
• j the most sanguine realized, and mauy perfectly
astonished. My object iu boing thus particular is, that
tlio full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
nut on account of any actual necessitg of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
tlive a tcasponful of “Fluid - ’ (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the lever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes tho whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as arc set forth in the
Rules.” But should there lie prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they tdiould bo
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
Beo Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (sec auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must hs opened or the lever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
io the influence of medicine —not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two toaspoousful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been s<{ftene<t.
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirit* and
w it, r, iu those difficult cases, will afford relief autl aid
tlie medicine much iu taking effect.
Congeattve Fever.
Give two toaspoousful and repeat every two hours till
tho pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tcu
sp, ,out'ui, to tie discontinued as the fever subsides. “As
tbo bowels are generally confined, and It is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in thlv disease,
l, time should bo lost to got them open, give some active
cathartic with tlu* “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enema* (injections) may also lie
us, and to advantage; nlso, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the bead. Quinine may be added to tlie
‘• Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
nr Sjtotted Fever.
As those fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, living all of a low grade, tlie pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
ho practical use 111 separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned, lu these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will hq required: still
comparatively little, as they frequently rim weeks under
tlie common treatment, while with this but a few days
will In, necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should bo coiumcuced—which luav
immediately follow any other without detriment with
a toaspoonfiil of •* Fluid” every two hours, till tlie pulse
tmeomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
knee In ala or eight hours till the fever cutirely subsides.
Iu laid cases, from three to iivo grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (See auxiliaries) should be added to each done. Tne
bowels should bo kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should ho given occasionally, even
though the bowels should ho \ cry loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagcnous
drinks—such as ara in common use iu such cases.—
Where tlie skin is very dry. .sponging the surface its di
rected in bilious fever, will bo found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu ail owes
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, bung
or Winter Fever.
Given teaspoonful of the “Fluid” efery two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strdng decoction of bone*<t; or
half the quantity may bo given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
Tho bone.sot tea should bo given warm till tne violent
symptoms are allayed, or tbo patient is relieved; then
Cold; fomentation.;, mustard planter, or sou:'-thing of
the kind, to be applied over tho seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola arul Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioioid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases ure attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Jtomember
never w ait to learn the whether it is one or tho
other, or neither, as they all commence with Jtvcr, but
treat'it at once; govern the fever and -there will bo no
trouble; there will b v but little eruption even in small
pox. Tills, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
I>oldly make tlie assertion, that small pox, if treated as
i direct, wM be cut slv/rl; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. Un this I will stake
not only my reputation, but a.l that I hold most dear;
besides, un this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He say-, page 874:
“You may abate tho force of tlie eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number oj the pmstulei by
sphue purges, Ac.” Here i* die admission that it may
be dune, i nave not only proven it may be, but bus
been done m numerous esses that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
Give a teaspoonful or more, according to tiie urgency
of tire case, witli a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours it necessary, until the feversuh
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may be used, and tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
J none case, on tlie ship Duchess and urlearm, the tongue
and faurus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he wits cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so its to enable hint to take nour
ishment in about twelve horns by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best yargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tile 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 a
teaspoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should be re
pented as long as the fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tiie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of tiie happy effect of tiio Fiuid in
many of their trial.-, iu child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tins labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will bo relieved at oueo by a com
mon dose and retiring. Bestlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tlie must convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, il not
tho most so of any medicine known, its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing ail excitability
and iritability of 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 naturally and
healthy ; hence its uso iu so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under tills head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
w ill change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may be or ought to he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
I*’ appropriate means, and these sohuid be given while
giving the “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 the', Fluid” alone will sub
due tlie fever, I c all all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tiie first dose, or soon after, and should it
tail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known 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 in cold water, to tho part; if
violent paiu iu the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tlie feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry'ami hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar- and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulant*, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; nlso,
during convalescence, when tlie patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine w ill remain on tho stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
givuu plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as y ou would under any other circumstances, 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 be astonished at tiie ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at 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 the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all* I will name a tew of the different art ides of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
(at it art ica.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tiie roots
or barks, and many pills, autibiliuus, Ac.; anything
known to bo good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the iiver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of tho article* depended on by the “Afferent schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while tlie system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and 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 or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite tlie
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the l*est;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry iu 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 iu the materia in-dica,
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of n trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packetslilii Duclicss D’Orlean*.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificate*:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz—
Wo took passage on the pneketship Duchess d’Orloan*
Capt Hutton, then lying iu the port of Havre, France’
ami bound for New York. She sailed on the s*th of Au
gust, 1551, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days utter leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician iu charge, Dr. N. IV. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own. which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to lmvo entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During tho voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured w ith unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
conviuceil that tho medicine used by In, s,.at ou the oc
casion, ;kwso*hoß inestimable virtues. Wo never before
heard or read of febrile affections being eon ted fid with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and Hot a dealh! The
fart Speaks for itself.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Ouleaxs. April 9, 1855.
Dear cir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object iu writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Real t’sc in Pulmonary Diseases. Tam conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most unprofessionally, and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expeotomnt, which is a scientific remedy that l have
used with more success tliau any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. SLulaxd, M. D.
Gallatin-, Miss., May J, 1565.

AMERICAN” COTTON PLANTEE
FOR isr>G.
THE Fourth Volume of tlie American Cotton Plant, i
will commence with the January number.
In thus formally announcing the’ Prospectus for M„
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs i
add, sanguine in tlie belief that, with the intelligent, i:
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in tin
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Pius
ing States, and especially Alabamians, the past history „
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In the first place, we remark to our friends and reaure
that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, lias again become the Publib,
er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our reader,
emphatically, that in future the Cotton Planter shah
sue promptly by the first day of each month.
Flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibition
Alabama's Industry, as demonstrated in the triumphant
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama s',
Agricifftural Society, the Cotton Planter “will take 1,
step backward” its progress is onward and upward t, tin
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and
by the members of the Society, that the Planter* a'.
Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of
will rally eu masse to the support of Alabama's ouiv o.v
ciusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of tiie A
- State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency ;-'-0
be unfettered in the great work of deveiopii.g [lie im
measurable resources of the Keystone .state ul im-nA.
“ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Mainline
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” tho object of tin- Ans-ri
can Cotton Planter is to
“ Improve tile Soil and the Miiid.”
With a corps of correspondents, numbering many
the most practical as well as scientific minds of the Souse
we feel assured we shali lie able to visit our patron# ‘
the first of each mouth, to their entire satisfaction
profit.
Every family in tlie country, whatever msy be ti
avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper:
cause there is no reading mutter published to the woiti
so innocent, and at the same time to practically pu li’:,
hie in all the walks of life as that obtained in a good r,
cultural Periodical. The American Cotton Plnutcr uri:
issue promptly by the first day of the month. It. will I#
uniformly printed in magazine style, on good white pi
per, with new and lair type, securely stitched and tr:r
med.
