amative ELECTRIC FLUID, I
Prepared by N. W. heal, M. D.
i.i aeons why it Shofflil be used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections:
i i.-"Econiny of Time.—As only ‘me-sivenlh
>f the ordinary time is required toetfoct a cure.
dd.— Economy of Money.—As it costs but one
• lolhir.
3rd.—Kfiunmy of Feeliiig.~AH it eaves the
utllerlug of a lout? sickness and the consequent treat
ment; Die annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; hut little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4th. —Economy of Thought.— As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
misting, 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
nibjoct to lio followed by chronic disease.
Oth.—Economy of Life.—As the cure is effected
‘adore and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degrwo, all danger of a fetal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these ur* deemed
,uUicivet to satisfy all classes and persona in all condi
tions of life.
‘i.‘ii above raasous are mure particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
i to or liavo become reduced, corresponding of course
*.-> tire nature of tile euse at the lime it is first udminis
fered.
As this remedy giver no prompt, effectual ami perma
nent relief. In all ordinary cases, when used soon after
. rie attack, persons cun scarcely realise that they hud
neen l-eully nun h sick, and very naturally conclude they
■ver i.nut attacked with fever, end if so, “it was trifling
—a little robl, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing oi esusequenco—it would have passed off with
out any tiling—that medicine had no effect.” Tito general
impression on ttio subject of fever is such, that thoughts
no. unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
naturally as men thin!; at all; and if is not until
.be individual has witnessed many rases that he can fully
realise the truth; and even than ho may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
hi any silupio modicum, yet persons, though they have
lioiii thus sucooislitl in perhu|,s hundreds of raises, must
•■xpc.it (hat there will cases occur white there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
0 tent ion. or though success.ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise ns the influence of tho •• Fluid” passes
off, os the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
tgainst disappointment in such cases that I have given
and treqiirilly refer to wliatl liavo called a “synopsis.”
Keiaarhsnu Keven In General*
till tills subject l wish to he fully understood. By the
ir.m “ Icvets,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
vln. ii the human frame is subject, including small pox
yard other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
Variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
ami habits; th"y of eourss differ considerably in their
dc “l.ipujont utid exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet i.II art) distinguished by the mine general character
i tii i—that oi undue excitement In the circulatory and
nervous systems —inducing Wore or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skin,
debility; Ac.
To show that T am not wholly ulono in the opinion I
affiance, 1 quote from the celebrnfeil Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, whose work on tlio •• I’rinci
i I, ■ and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
o; :■ medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
on pig?) 88 i, lie says :—’“We tiear continually, both in
i.i.d out of the profession, different species of fever s]ki
... u of, lly tile public, Typhus Fever, Bruin Fever,
Poising Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
A ml-systematic writers are to the full as particular:
’ I deoils Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, biasti o-liiiterle, and
forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad ami hurtful. It
eoi images a disposition, already ton prevalent, to pre
, ribe for a disease according to its name, There is no
iii of g< nnirie distinction between continued fevers,
l iuil can bo relied cm. They run insensibly into each
. i.'i\ even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often
, - ,■i cable to the same cause.”
The above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would imprest on your minds tho lolly of hunting
up m‘troubling yourself about a “name; ’ if you have
fever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, anil yon
mill he i oi’ll. instead of any dlstluetcharucter being devel
oped, so us to he properly named by tho most scientific.
This assertion is do hypothesis bused on closet specula
.oiis or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of tho sick, in hundreds, uye, thousands of cases
(by myself uud others) under u great variety of cir
cjiustiuicua, seasous and climates. Bear this in mind,
uud treat at once without regard to name, aud rest
assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as oases may have be
come developed before the ‘• Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
vs briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued iu
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
/iiAi important to be observed in all cases in mine; the
negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. Jt should be given In tliroo or four times Us own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
id. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation in the
nek room,) nor attempt to go about while under Us in
fluenco.
id. it must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evideutly passing off'; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such bo the case under any
ciivuuiatauecH.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not ho questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any oxerciso whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rlso or speak; nor
-Itimld any conversation bo allowed In their hearing, in
vv hick they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
.>tk. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long ns (lie patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
iriuks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
(’.lit. Should patients experience any oppression or
i.iiiittiess while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness alter tho fever has passed oil', or enough to
occasion them to apeak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tho face ami
cut maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
Hill give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from .1 to 8 drops.
•• over 1 and under ‘1 years, “ 6to 15 “
*• “ 2 “ 6 “ “ 12 to BO “
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ ”0 to 50 “
•• “ 8 *• Ift half to a teaspoon fill.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
cquire as much ns young, or those iu (lie prime of life;
i- r females, as a general rule, as much as males.
there is lie particular care necessary in giving it to
hildren —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; tint for a little guide, X have given the
above table, with the remurk that, as a gcm#al rule,
, hilvU'eu require more than adults iu proportion.
lly observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, tho expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object ill being thus particular is, that
ihe full benefit of (lie medicine may be obtained, aud
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob-
Horvauees.
Ulltous ur Itculttcnt Fever.
Give a tuasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till tlio fever is evideutly (Hissing off; this
constitutes tlio whole treatment in all simple cases of
lever, with such observances a are set forth ill tlie
■'Rules.'’ But should there lie prominent local symp
loms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
Seo Sytuqisis.
ts m any euse the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (See auxiliaries) with tlie
first isirtion; they must be opened iq tlie fever may rise
again.
Whore the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and tlie patient is not particularly susceptible
to tlie influence of medicine —not easily operated ou by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may bo given at first with advantage, and even repeated
n two hours—ls It—the pulse—lias not been sojlenmt,
thus showing tlie medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface witii water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
v-ater, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
tlie medicine much iu takiug effect.
Cong-estiva Fever.
‘live two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
ibe pulse becomes more full and soft, thou only a tea
t-poonftll, to bo discontinued us the fever subside!, As
the bowels arti generally confined, and it is frequently
very'difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no ilrne should be lost to get them o]s>n. give some active
,tlmrtic with the “ Fluid” amt repeat as may tie neces
•ury till it operates; enemas (injections) may also bo
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with tlie hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to tho head. Quiuine may be added to the
” Fluid” if thought advisable. See Symqisis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
Vs these fevers are all of one character, differing
nxviiily iu degree, being all of a low grade, tlie pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
ay treatment Is concerned. Iu those low fevers, w hen
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tie-common treatment, while with this but a few days
wilt be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment Arnold be commenced—which may
immediately follow cjiv other without detriment witii
, a leaspuonl'ul of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be coctiuued
hue# in tia or tight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
In bad case*, from three to five grains u-vh of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or Some lonic anil stimu
lant (iee auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. Tho
bovvuls should be kepi gently open, and small portions
of some /ispafie should be given uccasioiSally, even
though the bowels sliuuhl be Very loose, The patient
should he sustained by nourishing and miioilageuous
drinks—such as tiro in common use iu such casus.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected ih bilious fever, will be lu.uud advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all Canes
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneuinonlu, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoonful of tho “Fluid” every two liourf,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bone-set; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms arc allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard pluster, or something of
the kind, to be 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 dis’ .iseß are attended w ith fever, which
in tact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs bue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or tlio
other, or neither, its they all commence with fever, hut
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even iu small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will lie regarded with ridieule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small (iojc, if treated as
1 direct. wiU lee, cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little ur no pitting, uud that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, but a I that 1 hold moat dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“ You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed; the number oj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tout it may
be done. I nave not only proven it muy be, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
Giro u teaspoon fill or more, according to the urgency
of tlio case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should lie given ami repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may bo used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the amp Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not sw allow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping tlio
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till be could swallow,
when it was given iu” teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tho swelling of
tlio throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone. —
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best yurgle, in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore paiulol, dangerous aud alurming
malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid witii 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 be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated ns long as tlio fever continues, as in oilier cases.
Tlie bowels of course should be atteuded 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 uniLsuilering. It
is to inform them of the'happy effect of the Fluid iu
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor ot much of its yaffis
and difficulties; it nrhst be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at 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 one of the most convenient and
elfectuai remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tlio most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as tlio circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally aud
healthy; lienee its use iu so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, ami condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head generul
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tho condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho
name it may bo or ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must he removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
bo appropriate menus, and these aohuld be given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and iu 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 the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“ Fluid” will Siam relievo 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, aud bathe
the feet in hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin
dr y anil 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, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou
ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevors, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
duriug convalescence, wiien the patient has become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, tliat must be
allayed before auy medicine will remain on tlio stomach
to do any good : tor this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tlio stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
uocossary; in short, treat nil the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, anil success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till yon
have seen, and then you will bo astonished at the ease
witii which you can control nil 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 tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz,:—
Cat Hurt lea. —Articles tliat purge or operate on tho
bowels, such os cantor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to art on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any or the articles defended on by tho different schools
tor this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with tho “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tlie third, podophyllin—tlio fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice aud be suc
cessful.
Tonics. —Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs. Uone
sot or tlioroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.— Pucli us check the action of tho
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which liavo the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the host;
ginger, spirits, lmrtsliorn, Ac., ttie essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are tlio only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Khwtrie Fluid is a bet'er “ dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“ sedative” than known in the materia medial.
I shall not tax the reader with u long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of u trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packetslilp Duchess D’Orlcans.
which caunot be elussod among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigued, certify to tlie following, viz—
Wo took passage on tlie packetsliip Duchess d’Oileans,
Capt Hutton, then lying in tlie port of Havre, Franco,
and bound for New York. Bhe sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1861, 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,Dr. N. W. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which lie 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 thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what 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 febrile affections being controlled with
so much euse, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to tho nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a (feat):! The
fact speaks for itself.

the medicine that has created such an excitement at the

by all who have used it as being far superior to any

Bear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ilie
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsupurillns, Bills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by

for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Jieiil f>r in I’ntmnnary Diteaws. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most uuprofe.ssionally,and deroga
torily to the interests rtf Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners nt’ Medicine. 1 refer to Woodman’s Cherry

0. 0. AVoodwax—Dear Fir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article 1 ever met with. 1
would be pleased to have yon send me half a dozen bot
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
\V. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has alt ended its use. For
coughs, colds, and 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 w ill
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant,
di)'Price —One Dollar a Bottle.

In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for tie
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs to

Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in the triumphant
success of tlie first Annual Fair of the Alabama Btat
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will take in
step backward” its progress is onward and upward to tin
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, ami
by the members of tlie Society, that the Planters and

bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may
be unfettered in the great work of developing the im
