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. “ over 1 uml under 3 years, “ sto 15 “ “ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30 “ “ “ ft “ 10 “ “ 30 to 60 “ “ 8 “ 16 half to a teaspoonful. 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. Signed, K. I*. Fadri, 81 I’enrl street. New York. K. 0. Fadri. “ “ “ “ .1. A.

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!

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.
