NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. I>.
Keatons why it be used Instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections •’
Ut—Kcoiioray of Time. —As only one-seventh
of the ordinary time Is required to alfecf a euro.
titl.— Kc.onomy of Money. —As it costs but one
dollar.
3rd. — Economy of it saves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment i the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; hut little of the fluid being necessary,
ami that pleasant in its effects.
AtU.— Economy of Thought. —As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
sth. — Economy of Health.—As the system’
is not reduced, atid 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 bo added, but these ate deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons iu all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons ar - mure particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to the nature of the caso at the time it is lirst adminis
tered.
Ah this remedy gives no prompt, effectual anil perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
Uie attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y
veTo not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
npMiiug of ueusoqitenco —it would have passed off with
oitt anything—that medicine bail noeflcct.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow Hie cure of a common case
us natiindly as men think at all; and it is not until
’V individual has witnessed many casostliat lie can fully
■ ealize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very tiifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been 111 us successful in perhaps hundreds of coses, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or iocal cause ho great as to require particular
attention, or though success id in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the •• Fluid” passes
off, as tnc oxciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment 111 such coses tliat 1 have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.”
lie-mark* 011 Fevers In General*
On this subject I wish to he fully understood, lly the
term “fevers,” i comprehend uli febrile affections to
which the human frame iH subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise hy a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
ami habile, tin y of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency In the pulse, sense of heat, dryneHS of the skin,
debility, &c.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance. 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King's College, Loudon, whose work 011 the “ Princi
ples and Practice Os Physic” is a textbook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
On page 834, lie says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, Itniiii Fever,
itilioos Fever, Putrid Fever, l,ow Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers lire to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastio-Eiitoric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the
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,
that can ho relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even tiio most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The ahove is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
tbver, treat it at once 11s hereafter directed, and you
will he. well instead of any distinutcharacter being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named hy the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula
tions or visions of mi ud, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(hy myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons anil climates. Hear tlds in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon ho freed from oil dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have bo
-001110 developed before tile “ Fluid” is given, cither by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ lluies”
and “ Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Kales important to he observed in all cases in tisiwj the
Negative Electric I'luul.
Ist. It should hegivon in throe or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must he free from all currents of air,
(though there should always ho free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
lid. It must he continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to he resumed when it
begins to rise agaiu, should such lie the ease under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
he left perfectly quiet; free from ull excitement; should
not he questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural/eatings, 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 fuel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
ulli. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, liny simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, ns parties may prefer or patients desire.
Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the 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 fucetind
breast maybe 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 “ “ 12 to 30 “
“ 6 lO “ “ 20 to 60
” “ 8 “ lo half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those of ten years of ago frequently having
takeu full doses; but for a little guide, I have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
Uy observing the above directions, the medicine will
lie found agreeable in all of its effects, tho expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
tho full benefit of tho medteiuo may he obtained, itml
lint on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Hilton* or Remittent Fewer.
Give a teosponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oil ; ttiis
constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of
fever, witll such observances ns are set forth ill the
“ Rules.” Hut should there lie prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie
attended to at once, and while giving the *• Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If jit any case tho bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) wit It the
first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, ami tho patient is not particularly susceptible
t.< tlie influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teuiqioonsful
may he given at first with nilvautage, and even repeated
in two hours —if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
tints showing the modicluo has taken effect.
nothing tho surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the meiltciue much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two teaspoimslul ami repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As
the bowel* aro generally confined, ami it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should lie lost to get them o|*'n, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat ns may be neces
sary till it operates: enemas (Injections) may also be
ucd to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
luninly iu 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 ns
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will he required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run wm*ksunder
die common treatment, while with this but a few days
will he necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should bo commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pnlse
becomos fuller or larger In volume, then to be continued
nos In six or eight hours till too fever entirely subsides.
In laid cases, front three to fivo grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper; or Some toaic and stiniu
laut (see auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions
of some lupatic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should he very loose. The patient
should ho sustained hy nourishing and mucilagenons
drink* Hitch as are iu common uso iu such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry. sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, in ail cuses
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, hung
or Winter Fever.
(jivea teaspoonful of the “Fluid” ovory two hours,
with a wine-glassful ofa strong decoction of bout-set; or
half the quantity may ho given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should ho given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gontly open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola ami Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact h* tlie flldst prominent symptofll, the treaUucut
differs hue little from that of common til\ CVS, Kctuembut
never wait lo learn the “ name,” whether it is one or tho
other, or w.iltter, as they ail commence vitlh fixer, hut
treat it at once; govern lly.’ lever ami there will be no
trouble; there will ho hill little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, IS a nor. idea, and doubtless
will ho regarded with ridicule by-many. 1 nevertheless
boldly unik,c the assertion, that small pox,.if i|. ..Led its
1 direct, will In - cut short ; attended with hut littlo erup
tion; little or no pitting, and tliat there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, hut a I tliat i hold moot dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; tliat of
I’rof. Wat*m, previously quoted, llu .cays, logo 874:
“You may abate tho force of tlie emptiVe tevflr, and
keep down, it M belie, od, Ibo number ts the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here i: the admission Unit it may
be done. 1 nave not only proven it may he, but has
hirn done iu numerous cases that occurred on board
ship, bee the account appended.
(live a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; ropent tho
Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sidcs—though one or two doses is genurady sufficient;
but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. VS lieu tho throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may bo used, and tlie
surface bullied, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tho slop Duchessd’Orlaaus, the tonguo
and faucus wore so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till hecould swallow,
when 11. was given in teaspoonful doses every iumr, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours hy the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best yunjle, m all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tiio mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid wiili such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single doso or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tiio
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should lie re
pealed as long as the fever continues, as ia other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the lashes, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to Inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. Ju child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives lho labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
I’ainful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a coin
-111011 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 soofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritubility of tlie nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so tliat one 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 fur all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tho 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 bo 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
ho appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving the “F'luid,” and iu connection witli it, when
occasion requires, as they w ill then more readily net,
producing more general efleet, besides no unnecessary
lime will then lie lusl As tho ‘,Fluid” alone will suli
duo the fever, l call all else auxiliary treatment.
if the bowels aro costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to lie good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“Fluid” will soon 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,
ts convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
thu feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and Lot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
w hole hiuTiico with water at an agreeable temperature;
“ tile saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford groat relief and aid the medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will lie no trou
ble; if tho putiuut has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stiiuulunls, particularly in low
fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach
to do any goad; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm wutor, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give tlie “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary : iu short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indued,you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you w ill be astonished at tlie ouuo
with which you con 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 w hat is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cut lini l ics.—Articles that purge or operate eu the
bow els, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tho roots
or barks, and many pills, niitibilious, Ac.; anything
known to lie good fersiieli purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on tlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer w hen used in connection
with the Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopliytliu—tlie fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.— Articles that give tone or strength, such
ii quiniue, Various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Hone
set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Asl rilipcilt *.-—Such ns check the action of the
bowels, laudanum and other preparat ions of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, net properly astringents,
which have the dice*.
Stimulants.—Articles tliat raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the host;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, &c., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though tunny others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better •< dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedativa” titan known iu the materia ntrdim.

which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificate*:
We, tho undersigned, certify to tlie following, viz—
Wo took passage on the pneketship Duchess d'Oileuiit,
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the oth of Au
gust. 1861, with over n hundred soul* on beard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tlie small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge,Dr. N. (V. Seat, with
n new remedy efliis own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which lie set mod to have entire control
over th disease, urrmiug it iu a few hours, amt curing
iu a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thlrtv-uine duy,
there were about eighty eases of small pox,'some lever
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From wlmt we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat eti 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 ship, a leug pasta -e.
small pox and fever ou board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.
