negative electric fluid,
Pi't'imreci by N, W. Seat, M. U.
Reason* why it should bo used instead of any other treat
ment in all i*V-brile affection*:
i i.-- Kcoaoiny of Time. —As .inly one-seventh
•f tlm ordinary tirno is required to effect a cure.
-4U.— Economy of Money.— As it costs but one
dollar.
iii-il.— Economy of Feeling.— As it saves tlio
suffering of a long sickness and tlie consequent treat
ment; tlie annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
lung confinement; but 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
-Hating, 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 be 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 fatal
termination.
Other reasons might he added, hut these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes ami persons in all condi
tions of life.
The alnvo reasous are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been snbject
. •! to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
V) the naturp of tlio case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As ibis remedy gives so prompt, effectual anil permit
neqt relief, in all ordinary cases, when used sisin after
Uie attack, persons cun scarcely realize that they had
been really much siek, and very naturally conclude they
wur i not attacked with fever, and if so, “It was trifling
-a little cold, which gave alarm —it could have been
noth tug of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine hid nocffoct.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
a- naturally as men think at all; and it iH not until
*. je individual lias witnessed many cases that lie can fully
.oali/.e the truth; and even then he may conclude them
ail very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though successful in reducing tlio fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” pauses
off, as the exciting cause limy still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in such canes that I have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.”
He marks on Fevers io General*
On this subject I wish to he fully understood. Ily the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frume is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
vaiiety of causes, mid in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, tiny of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or typos;
yet ull are distinguished by the same general eburaoter
(sties—that ol undue excitement in 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 show that 1 am not wholly alone iu the opinion l
advance, 1 quote front tho celebrafod I’rof. T. Watson,
ol King’s College, lam doll, whose work on the “ 1 ’ll uci
pies amt Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our modi cal is dirges, and consequently standardautkorit y.
fin pigo 834, lie any*; —“We hear coutinualh, both iu
and out of the profession, dilfereut species of fever spo
ken of. liy tint public, Typhus Fever, ih'uin Fever,
bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, how Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (iostro-Kuturic, mid
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms. I am persuaded tlutt the client upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bail and hurtful. I t
uucoitrages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
Unit can bo relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even tlie most dissimilar of them, and uro often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your minds the lolly of limiting
up or troubling yourself about a ‘• name;’ if you have
fever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any distinctcharactcr being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
’I bis assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at tlie bed
side of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of eases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear tins in mind,
and treat Ht once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing uud dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued iu
all of the most prominent fevers, though the” Rules”
and •• Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.

(Hit. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the lever 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
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

“ Fluid” if thought advisable. Fee Synopsis,
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship nml Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
\s these fevers are all of ono character, differing
muiuly in degree. Vicing all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use In separating them—at least so far as
m v treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still
comparatively little, a* they frequently run weeks tinder
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will Ist necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
Tlie treatment should be commenced—which may
Immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pnlso
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
nc* in sii or eight hours till t**o fever eutlrely subsides.
Iu had cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne popper) or souio tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should bo added to ouch dose. The
bowels should bo kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should he given occasionally, even
though the bowols should lie very louse. The patient
should ho sustained by nourishing and mucilagenuus
drinks—such as are iu common use in such coses.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lang
or Winter Fever.
(five a teaspoonful of tho “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glasslul of u strong decoction of bnneset; or
half the quantity may ho given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
Tlio houeset tea should be given warm till tlio violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to bo applied over tho seat of pain; keep Uio
bowels gently open. , t(
Variola, Varioloid, Rulieola and Scarla
tina; or Mmail Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
ami Scarlet Fever.
As ull of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, tlie treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or tlio
other, or neither, us they nil commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern tho fever and there will be no
trouble; there will he but little, eruption oven iu smuil
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will be cut short; at tended with hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessilg of
its running its ordinary course. Un this X will stake
not only my reputation, but all that I hold most dear ;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; t lint of
I’rof. Watson, previously quoted, 110 says, page 574:
“You may abate the force of tlie eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Hero is the admission that it may
be dene. I nave not only proven it maybe, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. Feu the account appended.
(live a teaspoonful or nioro, according to the urgency
of the ease, witli a dose of solLs or castor oil; repeat tlio
Fluid unco in two hours if necessary, until the lever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fevor under control. When tlie throat is allotted,
any of the ordinary gargles may ho used, and the
surface hathetl, as thought advisable.
In one ease, on the ship Duchess d’Orleuns, the tongue
and fattens were so much swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or speak, aud lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow,
when it was given iu teaspoouful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so us 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 gargle, iu ull such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the ‘mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it ill a short time. It should lie re
peated as long us tho foyer continues, ns iu other cases.
The bowels ol course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, whiHi, if regarded liy
tlie ladles, will save them much pain and suffering, ft
is to inform them of tho liappy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must bo tried to bo appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon doso and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is ono of the most convenient and
oilectuai 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 tlie nervous as well as tho circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that ono can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use in so mauy cases.
Synopsis,
To avoid constant repetition, and condcnsu the treat
ment as much as possible, X give under this head general
directions fur all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tho condition called fever, or subduo and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to be called, it should l>e given
wherevor or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such oxist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing moro general effect, besides no unnecessary
tinio will then be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, l call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, givo a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the lirst 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, the
“ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bi tter 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 hatlie
tho feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, spongo or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saliao wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits aud
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will bo no trou
ble ; if tho paticut has boon reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; lor this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach Ims settled, give tho “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
ns you 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 tho ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may fool at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians arc usually particular
uhout what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using tlie Fluid, ami to be fully understood by
all, I will name a tew of the different.articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz.:—
Cathartic*. —Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, aatibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good forauoli purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on tho liver
particularly, portul circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopliyllilt—tho fourth, mandrake
root, aud so on; each nitty take his choice and ho suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that givo tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bono
set or thoroughwort is olio of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of tho
bowels. Euudanuntand other preparation* of opium are
used; also, mauy mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulant*.—Articles that raise nr excite the
system. Capsicum (Cuyeuue pepper) is one of tho best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry iu treating fevers, though mnny others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “ dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
” sedative” than known in tho materia medico.
1 shall not tux tho reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one Instance of success, Unit on the
Racket ship Duclicss D’Orleans.

We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz.
We took passage on tho packetship Duchess d'Orleana,
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, Franco,
and bound for New York. She s illed on the flth of Au
gust, 1561, with over n hundred souls on hoard, mostly
emigrant*- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They wore all
treated by the physician iu charge,Dr. N. W. Scut, with
anew remedy of hi* own, which ho call* Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in u few hours, and curing
iu 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 prompt uess.
From wlmt we aaw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Scat 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
trouble to the nurse. A crowded aliip, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, ami a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant,
the medicine that has created such an excitement at the

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

New Orleans, April 9, 1855.
Dear Fir—The public generally are fully aware of the
tliousauds of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparlllas. Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Ileal Vse, in Pulmonary Diseases'. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unproi'cssionally.and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Fcicuee and the regular
Praotitiomu sos Medicine, i refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

This preparation has attained, a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
roughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvi nt
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat
will probably bo preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
