N UINATIVE EL.ECTBIC FLUID,
Prepared by SI. W . Seal, M. D.
: >ust>n why it should be use.l instead of any other treat
ment in ull Febrile affections:
(at.—Gvuuomy of Time.—As only one-seventh
■ ; tin. ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
I(l.—Feonomy of Money.—As it costs but ono
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Keeling.—As it saves the
suffering 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,
ami that pleasant in its effects.
ltli.—Economy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
•xlstiug. respecting febrile affections', particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
S!l.—Economy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to lie followed by chronic disease.
•>tli.— 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
‘irini nation.
Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed
sirlileient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions iif life.
Tin, above reasons nr more particularly applicable to
tlie immediate treatment on the first attack, Inn will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
'd to or have become reduced, corresponding id’ course
’ o tho nature of the case at tin; time it is first adminis
tered.
As iliis remedy gives so prompt, effectual and purma
n lit relief, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realise that they hod
in eii really much sick, anil very naturally conclude th y
wer • not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling
a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
inning of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
naturally ns men think at all; and it is not until
* ‘ic individual lias witnessed many cases that lie can fully
."tiltzc tile truth; and oven then he limy conclude them
alt very trifling eases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple moilieinn, yet persons, though tiiey have
I” eii thus successful iu perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur win-re there is some
organic or local cause so great us hi require particular
attention, or though success.ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the iufltieuco of the •• Fluid” passes
oir, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment ill SUCH cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks (in Fevers In General*
On tins subject L wish to be fully understood. Ily the
win “lovers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which tlie human frame is subject, including small [six
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, mid in quite dissimilar constitutions
.uni habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet ull are distinguished by tiie same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in tlie circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in tlie pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tlie skin,
debility, &c.
to show that l am not wholly alone in tho opinion I
advance, I quote from tho cclobrufed Prof. T. Watson,
and King's College, liomlon, whoso work on the •• I’rinci
pies and Practice of Physio” is a textbook in many of
• nr medical colleges, and consequently stundardaulhorily.
On p >ge 834, lie says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of tlie profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By tho public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever,
.iu. And systematic writers lire to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Unstro-Kiitcric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tho
mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
llmt can bo relied on. Tiiey run insensibly into each
oilier, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to tlie same cause.”
Tlie above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
nud t would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “Maine;” if you have
fever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you
mill be. well instead of any distincteharueter being devel
oped, so ns to ba properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of tlio sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of eases
(by myself ami others) under u great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons ami climates. Bear this m mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon tie freed from ull dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But us cases may have be
come developed before tlie ‘• Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, er under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as bristly as possible tlie proper course to lie pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Hides important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in throe or four times its own
quantity of water, ami limy lie sweetened or not at
pleasure.
‘.id. Patients must ho free from all currents of air,
(though there shouldulways lie free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
fid. It must lie continued whenever tho fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, Bhould such lie tlie case under any
circumstances.
4th. When tho fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not lie questioned ns to their wants or toolings, nor
attempt to converge, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own naturalfeelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, ituhtce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowedin their hearing, in
which tiiey may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet Mall Intents and purposes.
ot.li. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as tlie patient desires uml no
lunger; tiiey may consist of cold water, mucilagiuous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
coM or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
6th. .Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while In tlie lying posture, so us to occasion a
rest lessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to
nccagiou them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tlie faee and
breast may lie bathed in cold water; cither of which
will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for w hom
a leospooiiful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require us much as young, or those iu tlie prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary iu giving it to
children—those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
tliililreu require more thau adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine w ill
be found agreeable in all of its effects, tho expectations
of tlie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object In being thus particular is, that
tiie full benefit of tlie medicine may bo obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob

it'in any case the bowels are particularly constipated

Where the fever is very high, pulse running HO or

to the influence of medicine—not easily operated ou by

may be given at first witli advantage, and even repeated

tlie bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease,
no t ime should lie lost to got them open, give some active
ithurtic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to tlie extremities, or
frietion(rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to tlie head. Quinine may be added to tlie
‘• Fluid” if thought advisable. Fee Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
trwiinly in degree, being 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 us
my treatment is concerned, in those low fevers, when
fully devel'qawl. a little patience will lie required: still
comparatively little, us they frequently run weeks under
tlm common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be eoinmonced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment with
a teaspoonful of Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
nee in six or eight hours till t*o fover entirely subsides.
In baj cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
and cafutieuni (Cayenne popper) or some tonic und stimu
lant (see auxiliaries; should be added to each dose. The
bowels should ho kept gently open, aud small ]xirtious
of some hejKUic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should lie very loose. The patient
should be sustained by uuurisliiug aud mucilageuous
drinks—such us are iu common use in such cases.—
Where tlie skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected iu bilious fover, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should lie used during convalescence, iu ull cases
which have become reduced.

• liven teaspoon) ul of tlie “Fluid” every two hours,
wilb a wine-glupsful of u strong decoction of buneset; or

then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should bo given warm till tlie violent
symptoms are allayed, or tlie patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, er something of
the kind, to lie applied over the scat of pain ; keep liio
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola ami Scarla
tina; or Small Fox, Varioloid, Measles,
anti Scarlet Fever.
As all of these discuses are attended wiUi i'ovir, which
in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, tho treatment
differs line little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn tlie “ namef’ whether it is one or tho
other, or neither , as tiiey all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be ho
trouble; there w ill lie Out little eruption even iu small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, aud 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 slu/rt; attended w itli hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will sink..-
not only my reputation, but u.l that 1 bold most dear;
besides, Oil this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
l’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 371:
“You may abate tlie force „f tlio eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie number oj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tho admission that it may
be done, i nave not only proven it may be., but has
been done in numerous coses tii.it occurred on board
ship. Bee tlio account appended.
(live a tcaspooiiful or more, according to tlie urgency
of tho case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once in two hours il necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should be giveu and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of Ike ordinary gargles may he used, and tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tlio ship Duchess d’Urleuns, the tongue
and tuucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping tlio
Fluid on bis tongue, drop by drop, till he could sw allow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
nil alarming symptoms disappeared. Tho swelling of
tho throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment ill nliout twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wot tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best yuryte in all such euses.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and uluruiing
malady to which tlio mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Klcctric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
tcaspooiiful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, ns the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should bo re
peated as long as tho fvor continues, as iu other cases.
Tho bowels id course should lie attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tlie ladies, will save them much pain uml suffering. It
is to inform them of tlio happy effect of tlio Fluid in
many 111 their trials. In chihl-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlio labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to bo appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will bo 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 tlio most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of tlio 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 tlio nervous as well as tlio circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet Hie system so that ouo can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence 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 nil euses. As the Negative Idee trie Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to lie called, it should bo giveu
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex
pected to control nil organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed iu ordi i to effect a
permanent cure.
When such iudicatious occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and tlieso soliuld be giveu while
giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they w ill then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
timo will then bo lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due tho fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels mo costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or booh alter, aud should it
fail to operate iu duo time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“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 the head, apply cold water, iee water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tho feet in hot water; if the fover is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface w ith water at mi agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, cither will afford great relief mid aid tlie medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient iias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics aud 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 uml vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine w ill remain on tlio stomach
to do any good: for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach hits settled, give the •• Fluid - ’ and a cathartic if
necessary.; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the same time us directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you canuot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will he astonished at tho ease
with w hich 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, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cat bailies.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything
known to bo good for such purposes.
Deputies.—Anything known to act on tlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by tile different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
witli tho “Fluid” or while tlio 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 liis choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles flint give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bono
set or tliorongliwort is one of tlie best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Buck as cheek tlie action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium me
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlie effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlm essences are all more
or less stimulating, riie.se are tlio only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though ninny others are generally
used, hut tlio Negative Electric Fluid is better •• dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “ relaxant ” and
“sedative” than known in the materia mntica.
1 shall not tax tho reader w ith a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
ouly refer to one instance of success, that on the
Pnckrtslilji Ductless D’Orleans.
which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to tlio* following, viz—
We took passage on tlie packetsliip Duchess d’Orleans,
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. Franco
and bound for Now York. She sailed on the 9th 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 tlio emigrants, They wore all
treated by the physician in charge,Dr. X. W. Beat, with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Klee
trie Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a 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 n 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. Beat on the oc
casion, |K>ssesses Inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled witli
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 not a deathl The
faet speaks for itself.

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
(his medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent

AMERICAN COTTON PLANTER
POK 1856.
FIMIFI Fourth Volume of the American Cotton Planter,
A will commence with the January number.
in thus formally aunoupcing the’ Prospectus for the
Fourth Volume, we have hut a few short paragraphs u>
add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, in
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in the
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Plan!
ing states, and especially Alabamians, the past history si
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
in the ttrst place, we remark to our friends and reader!
that the Editor, Ur. Cloud, has again become the Publish
er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our reader.-,
emphatically, that in future the Cotton Planter shall i
sue promptly by the first duy ot each month.
Flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibition el
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in the triumphant
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama Man
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will take n<
step backward” its progress is onward and upward to tin
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and
by the members of the Society, that the Planter.- and
Farmers, the Mechanics aud Manufactures m Aliibnmti,
will rally eo masse to the support of Alabama's only (ex
clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the .llu
boma State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may
he unlettered in the great work of developing the im
measurable resources of the Keystone State of the South.
“Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Manutav
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” the object of the Ameri
can Cotton Planter is to
“ Improve the Soil aud <Ue Mind.”
With a corps of correspondents, numbering many of
the most practical as well as scientific minds ui the South,
wo feel assured we shall be able to visit our patrons on
the first of each month, to their entire satisfaction ami
profit.
Every family in the country, whatuver uisy be their
avocation, should patronise some Agricultural piper: be
cause there is no reading matter published to the world
so innocent, and at the same time so practically profita
ble in all the walks of life as that obtained in a good agri
cultural Periodical. The American Cotton Planter will
issue promptly by the first, day of the month. It will be
uniformly printed ill magazine style, on good white pa
per, with new and fair type, securely stitched and trim
nieil.
Our Horticultural Department will lie sustained,
heretofore, by a gentleman of practical experience, >
