NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, I’rcpiircd hy N. VV. Seat, M. 1). Reasons why it should lin used Insteod of anyothor treat ini ut in all Ki brik) affections: lit.—Kcononiy of Time, —An only one-seventh l >! tlie ordinary time in required to effort a cure. -Ll.-.Kcouomy of Money.—An it cost* but one dollar. 3ri.—Kcoiiomy of Keeling.—An it aaven the Hollering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating donna of ttto'licliie, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long conlineinent; but little of the fluid being uecenaury, Hun that plenaanf in itn effects. 4tlb —Economy of Thought.—As when kmnvn, it will remove all dread and anxiety ut present •si* in : re-.meting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. ft i ll.—Economy of Health.—As the system is n it reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. Bth.—Eciiniiniy 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 bo added, but these are deemed sn'Kojknt to Satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. I'lie above reasons nr more particularly applirablo to lln immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply wiili equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course *.o tile nature of the case at the time it is lirst adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual ami perma nent relief. In all ordinary cases, when used soon after Hi” attack, persons ean scarcely realize that they had been really much sick, mid very naturally conclude they Wel l 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 with out anything—that medicine hud no effect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the euro of a common cose a* naturally as men think ut all; and it is not until ’ in individual Ims witnessed many cases that lie can fully calize tile truth; and even then he may conclude them all veky trifling cases, which would iiave readily yielded tunny simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expect that there will cnaos occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success.nl in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the iiiltueiice of tiio “ Kluiil” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in sum casea that 1 liave given and frequently refer to what 1 liave called a “ synopsis.” llcmarks on Kevers In General* On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Hy the term “ fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to wliiuli tlio human frame is subject, including small pox anil other eruptive fevers; but ns they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and hubils, tin y of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished liy the same general character istics—that nl undue excitement in tho circulutory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tlio skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1 advance, I quote from the celobrafed Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, whose work on tho •• Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of mir medical colleges, and consequently standard aut.hoi'ity. On pigti 834, besays:—“We hear continually, lioth in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. liy the public, Typhus Kever, Bruin Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Kever, Low Kever, Nervous Kever, ,v.c. And systematic writers are to the full as particular; Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Knteric, and tin forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon tlio mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro si rihu for a disease according to its mime. There is ne lino ol genuine distinction botween continued fevers, that can lie relied on. They ran insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and aro often traceable to the sumo cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling your soil about a “nainef’ if you liave fever, treat it at once hh hereafter directed, and you Mill he well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel oped, so as to he properly named by tlio most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis glased on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the 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, and I rout at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may liave be come developed before the ’* Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in all of tlie most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules” ami “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Kales important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. it should be given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of air, (though there should always be free ventilation in tho sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fluence. Bd. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing eft’; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such lie tlio ease under any circumstances. •Ith. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, rood or take any exercise whatever, till lhv\r own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce them to rise or speak: nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel inure or less interested, but be left quiet to ail intents and purposes. oth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, ami as long as the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, ally simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. dth. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tlie lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after tlie fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should iiave a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little Spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast may he bathed ill cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OK BOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. ‘■ over 1 and under 2 years, “ 6to 16 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ l2 to 30 “ “ 6 lO “ 2O to 60 “ “ ” 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoouful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not r"quire as much us young, or those in the prime of life; n o females, us a general rule, as much as males. There is uo particular care necessary in giving it to children —those of ten years of age frequently hating taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By 1 serving tlie above directions, tlie medicine will be found agreeable in all ol its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of tlie medicine may lie obtained, and not mi account of any actual necessity of such strict ole ser vances. Hilioii* or llrmiUrnt Kever, (iivo a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till tlio fever is evidently passing oil'; tiffs constitutes tlie whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the *• Rules.” But should there ho prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should be attended to at once, and while giving tho •• Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any ease tho bowels are particularly constipated or coufiuod, give n cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Wlioro the fever is very high, pulse miming 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to tho influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousful may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened, thus showing the medicine lias taken effect. milling the stirfueu with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid tlio medicine much in taking effect. Congeitlrt Fever. dive two ten* peon still and repeat every two hours till the pulse become* more full and soft, then only a tea spisiaftll, to bo discontinued as the fever subside!. As the bowels are generally confined, and It is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no time should bo lost to get them open, give some active cathartic with tlie “ Fluid” and repeat as may bo neces sary till it operates; enemas (injection*) may also he ned to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or frictlou (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold application* to tlio head. Quinine may be added to the ” Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Kever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Kever. As those fevers are nil of one character, differing mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general great depression, there ia no practical use in separating them—at least so far as idy treatmentU ooucernod. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will be required: still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under the common treatment, while with tiff's but a few day* will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent convalescence. The treatment should bo commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment with a teaspoouful of *‘ Fluid'’ every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued nee in via or eight hour* till tF>e fever cutirely subside*. 11l bad cases, from three to live grains each of quinine and capsicum (Cay emu: pepper) or nomu tonic and stimu lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The Imjwols should he kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even though tlie bowels should bo very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagcnous drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging tho surface as di rected in bilious fever, will lie found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases which have beoomo reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Give a teaspoouful of the “ Fluid” every two hours, witii a wine-glassful of a strong decoctiou of boneset; or half the quantity may bo given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say ouco iu six or eight hours. The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or tlie patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of tlio kind, to he applied over the scat of pain; keep tlio bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or .Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases ure attended with fever, whicli in fact is the most prominent symptom, tlie treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn tlio “nume,” whether it is one or tlio other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will lie bul lilllc eruption even in small pox. Tills, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly Tuako the assertion, that siuull pox, il treated as 1 direct, will he cut short; attended with tint little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is uo necessdg of its running its ordinary course. on tiffs 1 will stake not only my reputation, lint a.l that 1 hold most dear; besides, on tiffs subject, I liave good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874: “You may abate tlio force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, the uumber of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tuat it may be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has been done iu numerous cusus that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. Give a teaspoouful or more, according to the urgency of the ease, witii a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub side*—though one or two doses 1* generally sufficient; but it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When tlie throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may lie used, and tlie surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on tlio slop Duchess d’Orleuns, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured hy dropping tlie Fluid on hi* tongue, drop liy drop, till ho could swallow, when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tiio throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by tho Fluid alone.— Used to wet tlm throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all sucli cases. Puerperal or Childbed Kever. Tiffs heretofore painful, ibingcrous and alarming malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to tlie 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 tlio Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should bo re peated ns long ns the fver continues, as in other cases. The bow els of course should be attended to. in connection with tiffs subject, X cannot refrain from making a few general remark*, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It i* to inform them of the happy effect of tlie Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains ami difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at onco 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 effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any nicdicino known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlie whole system, removing ail excitability and iritability of tho nervous us well as tlie circulatory. It will not forco sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet tiio system so that oue can sleep naturally and healthy ; lienee its use 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 culled lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may beer ought to ho culled, it should be gi\en wherever or whenever’ it exists; yet it caunot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed iu order to effect a permanent cure. When sucli indications occur in any case, thuy should he appropriate means, and tiiese sohuld he given while giving tlio “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, an they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides uo unnecessary time will then be lost. As tlio ‘,Fluid” alone will sub due tlio fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If tlio bowels are costive, givu a cathartic (see auxili aries) with the lirst dose, op soou after, anil should it fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended witii diarrheea, give something known to ho good for that complaint, though if caused hy 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 iu cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tlio head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or sumo cooling application, aud bathe tlio feet iu hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tne whole surface with water ut uu agreeable temperature; “tlie 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 ho no trou ble ; if tlio patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tunics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, ill absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tho patient lias become re duced ; if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must lie allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, w ill answer every purpose; when tlie stomach has settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under uny other circumstances, giving tlie “Fluid” at the same time ns directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, aud then you will lie astonished at tho ease with 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 sucli necessity when using tlio Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, I will name a tew of (he different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cat hartlcs.—Articles that purge or operate on tho bowels, sucli as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on tho liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for till* purpose, will answer when used in connection with tho “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. Ami ouo may choose calomel—another, blue mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and lie suc cessful. Tonic*,—Article* that give tono or strength, sucli as quinine, various barks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone set or tliorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers. Aal t-ingciils.—Such as check tlio action of the bowel*. Laudanum uml other preparations of opium aro used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, whicli have the effect. Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite tlie system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These aro tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, luit tile Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in the materia medial. I shall not tux tlie reader with a long list of proofs, de|H‘iiding mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Pnckctsltlp Duclic** D’Orlcan*. which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates: We, tlie undersigned, certify to tlie following, viz— We took passage on tho packetsliip Duchess d'Orleiuis Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France and bound for New York. She sailed on tlie 9th of Au gust. 1831, w ith over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days lifter leaving Havre, tlie small pox broke out among tho emigrants, They were all treated by the physician in charge. Dr. N. W. Scat, with anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with w hicli he seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and euriug in a very short time. During the voyage, which lasted thlrty-uiue days, ther> were about eighty case* of small pox, some fever 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 oe easlon, possesses inestimable virtues. AVe never before hoard or read of febrile affections living controlled with so much case, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to tho nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage, small |ix aud fever on bonrd, and not a death! The fact speaks for itself. Signed, K. I*. Kauri, 84 Pearl street, New York. E. 0. Fadhi. “ “ “ “ .1, A.

Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant con tains the active medical qualities of tlio Yellow Jesamine, tlie pure decoction of M ild Cherry Bark, and many other valuable ingredients that render it far better than any other Cough Medicine in this country. RECOMMENDATIONS. New Orleans, April 9, 1855. Dear Sir—Tlie public generally are fully aware of the thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plaster*, Liniments. Ac., that are daily brought to their notice through tlie newspapers by way of advertisements. My object in writing this note for publication, is to induce tlie public, or at least those who are alllieted, to use one that contains articles of Heal t'se in Fuhnnnary Discas. l am conscious that iu so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessionally, and deroga torily to tlie interests of Medical Science and the regular Practitioners of Mediciue. 1 refer to M’oodiuan’s Cherry Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 liave used with more success tliu.ii any of (lie usual prescrip tions used by Physicians. J. M. Maitland, M. D. Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1855. (). 0. Woodman—Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry Expectorant a fair triul and am w ell pleased with its ef fects; better than any other article I ever met with. 1 would he pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot tles by the bearer. Respectfully, VV. M. Mason, M. D. This preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from tlie universal success which has attended its use. For coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints, till* mediciue, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent 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 also ho found excellent, its natural and genial warmth keeping tlie digestive (lower* in proper tone.
