NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
l'rr|iaki:il by N< VV. beat, JI. U
in-asons why it should bo lined instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile alfectioua:
lat.~-Ucon.omy of Time. —An only tme-sevenih
of the ordinary time in required U> effect a euro.
4d.— Kcouomy of Money.— As it Costa but one
dollar. •
3rd.—Kcouomy of Feeling— Ah it saves tlie
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.
4th. — Kcouomy 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.
stU.— Kcouomy of Health. —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fevor
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
Oth.— Kcouomy of Life. —As the cure Isetfectod
before and without roducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, alt danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
Tile above reasons are more particularly applicable to
Uni immediate treatment oil 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.
AS tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when ued soon after
ihe attack, persons cuu scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
were 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—ttiat medicine had noeffect.” The general
IffijiresHion oil tlio subject of fever Is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
’ ‘ individual lias witnessed many cases that he can fully
.nili/.c the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any Simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been I bus 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
at Coition, or though success ill in reducing (lie fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard
against disappointment m such ruses that l have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers in General*
On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. By the
term “fevers,” X comprehend all febrile affections to
which tlie human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but os they arise by a great
variety of causes, and ill quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or typos;
yet ail are distinguished by tho 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 Os beat, dryness of tlie skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, 1 quote from tho celebrated I’rof. T. Watson,
of King's College, Loudon, whose work on tlie “ I’rinci
plus and Practice of l’hysie” Is a text book in many of
or medical colleges, and consequently standardaiillwrily.
‘hi pigo Sill, lie says : —“We bear continually, botli in
inid nut of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, l!ruin Fever,
bilious Fevor, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
,vc. And systematic writers are to tlie full as pal ticular:
Mucous Fevor, Ataxic, Adynamic, Guatro-Enturic, and
so forth. N'ow, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect, upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful, it
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
rlbo for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that cuu be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and aro often
traceable to tlie same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and l would impress mi your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
fuver, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
i o til l>f well instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to bo properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at tlie bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates, bear this in mind,
and treat at onco 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 have be
come developed before tho ‘• Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
ns briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of tlie most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tlie sick.
Rules important to he. observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
L-t. It should bo given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pieasuro.
Til. Patients must lie free from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
ltd. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing elf; to be resumed when it
begins to rise nguiu, should such bo the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
lie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
in bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to con verse, read or take atiy exerciso whatever,
till their mutt natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, indues, them to rise or speak; nor
-hi'ii 1.1 any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, hilt be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
6th. 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, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
Gtli. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in tho lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tlie fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, teddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or seme other stimulant; or the face and
brea<l may be bathed in cidd water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TAIILK OF DUSKS.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.

“ “ ft “ 10 “ “ 30 to 60

All persons over fifteen considered us adults, for whom
a tcaspoouful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in tho 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 ton years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given tlie
above table, with tlie remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
ily observing tlie above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in qll of 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 on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
(live a teasponftil of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
eniistilutes tlie whole treatment in all simple eases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in the
“Rules.” Rut should there bo prominent haul symp
toms, or kuown local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving tlie “Fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
If In any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must lie opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where tho fever is very high, pulse running 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 tcaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in iwo hours —if It—tho pulso—has not boon softened,
thus shewing tlie medicine has taken effect.
bathing tlie 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 inedlciue much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two tcaspooiisful anil repeat every two hours till
the pulso becomes more full and soft, then only a tou
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subsldei. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease,
P” t ime should I'W lost to get them opou, give seme active
cathartic with the “Fluid” mid repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) witli tho hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the hmd. Quinine may be added to the
” Fluid” if thought advisable. Bee Byuopsls.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are ail of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, tlie pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use iu separating them—at least so faros
tuy treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, us they frequently run weeks under
the contmon treatment, while with this Imtu few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which uiav
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 bo continued
nc* la six or eight hour* till t/-e fever entirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
and capsicum. (Cayenne pepper) or sumo tonic and timu
luut (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. Tlie
bowels should lie kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should be giveu occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo very loose. Tho patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mueilagenous
drinks—such us are iu common use iu sucli cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should bo used daring convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoonful of tho “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
Tho 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 gently open.
Variolu, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases aro attended with lever, which
in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, tho treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut
treat it at once; govern the lever and there will be uu
trouble; there will he hut little eruption even iu small
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 he cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, ami tiiat there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but ail tliul 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“You may abate tho force of the eruptive fever, anil
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
he done. I nave not only proven it may he, hut has
been done iu numerous cases that occurred uu board
ship. See the account appended.
(live a teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency
of tho case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until tho foversub
sides—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient;
hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tho fever under control. When tlie throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tlie ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping tlio
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone. —
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.,
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Llectric Fluid with sucli 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 iu a short time. It should he re
peated as long as tlio fover continues, us in other cases.
The bowels of course should lie attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, w4l save them much pain and buffering. It
is to inform them of tlie happy effect of the F'luid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of lunch of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to bo appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon (lose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlio whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory,
it will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tho system so that one 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 eases. As the Negative Fileetric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue und
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name, it may he or ought to ho called, it should be 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
lie appropriate means, and these soliuld he given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in 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 the‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due tlio fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tho lirst doso, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat tlie doso; if attended
with dian hiea, give something known to be 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 bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, eloths wet iu cold water, to tlie part; if
violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
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 lie no trou
ble ; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced ; if thero is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to ilo any good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie
stomach has settled, give tho “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“ Fluid” at the same time ns directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed,you cannot realize it till you
have soon, and then you will be astonished at the case
witli which 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 wliut is used. I have found no such necessity
when using the 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 liar tie a.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, uutibiliuus, Ac.; anything
known to lie good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on tho liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depeuded on by tlie different schools
for this purpose, will answer when 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, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and bo suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
us quinine, various harks, roots anil hitter herbs, lfouo
ser or thoroughwort is one of the best used iu fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check tlie action of (ho
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlie effect.
Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences aro all more
or less stimulating. Those are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “ dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“ sedative” than knowu in the materia medica.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on tlie
Packet.ship Ditches* D’Orlcnns.
which cannot bo classed among ordinary certificates:
We, tlie undersigned, certify to tlio’ following, viz—
We took passage on the packetsliip Duchess d'Orleans,
Capt Hutton, then lying in tlie port of Havre, France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the Oth of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants. They were nil
treated by tlie physician in charge,Dr. N. W.‘ Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During tlie voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
then’ were about eighty eases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. AH 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, poetesses 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 long passage,
small pox und fever on beard, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

HAVE received the appointment from the proprietor
for the sole agency of
Woodman’s Cherry- Expectorant,
the medicine that lias created such an excitement at the
North among the Physicians, and has been pronounced
by all who have used it ns being far superior to any

tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesamine,
tho pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than any
other Cough Medicine iu this country.

Dear Fir—The public generally are fully aware of (he
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters. Liniments, &c., that arc
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this noto
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Real Use in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most uuprofessionally.and dcroga.
torily to tlio interests of Medica! Science and the regular
Practitioner* of Mediciue. 1 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.

Gallatin. Miss.. May 1, 1855.
O. 0. Woodman —Dear Fir: 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am w ell pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article I ever met with. I
w ould be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by the bearer. Respectfully.

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
tho universal success which lms attended its use. For
coughs, cold*, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this mediciue. from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and Its soothing power to all irritations of tho throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
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
ha* stood the test of tho medical fraternity. It is sanc

AMERICAN COTTON PLANTEP.
FOIt 1850.
rpilE Fourth Volume of the American Cotton Planter,
will commence with the January number.
In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for tin
Fourth Volume, wc have but a few short paragraph- u,
add, sanguine in the belief that, with tho intelligent, in
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in tb>
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Plan!
ingStates, and especially Alabamians, the past historj
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
11l the first place, we remark to our friends and reader*
that tlie Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become tlie Publiili
er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our readen.
emphatically, that in future the Cotton Planter sludli

Flushed with victory In the magnificent Exhibition ol
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in tlie triumphant
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama Stan
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will take in
step backward” its progress is onward and upward lu tin
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and
by the members of the Society, that the Planters and
Farmers, the 31eclianics and Manufactures of Alabama,
will rally en masse to the support of Alabama's only (ex
clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the Ala
bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may
be unfettered in the great work of developing dm im
measurable resources of the Keystone State of tins South.
“ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Manufac
tures and the Mechanic Art*,” the object of tlie Ameri
can Cotton Planter is to
“ Improve tlie Soli and the Mind.”
With a corps of correspondents, numbering many > !
tlie most practical as well as scientific minds ol’ the South,
wc feel assured we shali be able to visit our patrons or
the first of each month, to their entire satisfaction anil
profit.
Every family in the country, wliataver nisy be their
avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper: l*
cause there is no reading matter published to tlie world
so innocent, and at tlie same time so practically prolm
ble iu all the walks of life as that obtained in agood agri
cultural Periodical. The American Cotton Planter will
issue promptly by the first day of the mouth. It willl*
