NHGA.TIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared l*y N, VV, Seat, M. I>.
i.husoo* why it should bo uhoil igstoad of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections :
1 t.™ Economy of Time. —Asuuly one-seventh
of tli.i ordinary time in required to effect a euro.
4tl.~£conomv of Money.—As it cost* but one
loilar.
lird>i-Economy of Fetllng-—An it saves tho
HiUlariiijl of a long sickness and tho consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking naueeating doses of
■uodiciue, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
loug couflnoincnt; but little of tho fluid being necessary,
mid that pleasant in its effects.
4th.—Economy of Thouglit.—As when
known, It will remove all dread and anxiety at present
sxisting. respecting febrile affections-, particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
ftth.—tlcimomy of Health.—As tho system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to bo followed by chronic disease.
ath.—Economy of Life.—As theeureisetfected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might bo added, but these are deemed
sitUlrieut to satisfy all classes anil persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons arc more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the rt rut at tuck, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
•u the nature of the cane at the time ft Is Hist adiuinis
tered.
As tills remedy gives so prompt, effect mi and penna-
Hunt iellel, iu all ordinary cases, alien used soon after
attack, persons ran scarcely realize that they hud
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
wars not attacked with fever, and If so, “it was trifling
—a little'mid, Which gave alarm —it could have been
uqAuiig pf consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had no effect. 11 Tho general
ilifjiresjion on ttie subject of fever is such, that thoughts
Uol unlike the above follow the cure of a common ease
a naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
’ e individual lias witnessed many cases that be can fully
.ejlize the truth; and even then In* may conclude them
all very ti ifilng cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful In perhaps hundreds of eases, must
ex.ax't that there will eases occur win re there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, Or though success til in reducing the fever,
it will ttgaili rise as tho influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist, it is to guard
against disappointment tn such eases that. I have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers iu General*
On this subject I wish to be fully understood. By tin*
uitin “lovers,” l comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame in subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
Variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet ail art distinguished by tho same general character
istics—that oi undue excitement in tho circulatory and
norvous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency iu tiio pulse, sense of lieat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
‘to show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
i.dvaiicu, I quote from tho oclehrnfcd I’rof T. Watson,
ut King's College, London, whose work ou tho “ I'rinci
phis and Practice of Physic” is a text book In many of
oqr medical colleges, and consequently staeuiunlauthco'ity.
do page 834, he says :—‘We lieqr conti mi all*, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. liy tlie public, Typhus Fever, Itrain Fever,
Itiiions Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever. Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (iaslro-Kntcric, and
no forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 am persuaded that tho effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bud and hurtful. It
encourages a dispusitiun, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
Urut cun lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
Thu above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your minds tiie folly of limiting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have
fever, tru.it it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to bo property named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bod-
Mil of the sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Dear tills in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured yon will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases mav have be
come developed before tile “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
an briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of tho most prominent fevers, though tho” Rules”
ami “ Synopsis” will Im* amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

not lie questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor

should any conversation be allowed iu thoir hearing, in
which they may fool more or less interested, but ho left

Util. 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.
tith. Should patients experience aliy oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a

All persons over Ilf teen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoouftil 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 mail's.
Tliere Is no particular caro necessary in giving it to
children—those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; hut for a little guide. 1 have given tin*
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults ill proportion.
tty observing tho above directions, the medicine will
lie found agreeable iu all of its effects, the* expectations
of the most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object tn being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may lu* obtained, ami
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.’
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
Olve a teaaponful of “ Fluid” (sou rule Ist) once in
two hours, till tho fever is evidently passing off'; this
constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple rases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
” Rule*.” llut should there be prominent local syiup
t -iu.*, or know u local existing causes, they should la*
attended to at once, aud while giving the “Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in any case tho bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
lirst per tie u; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever Is very high, pnlse running 110 or
upwards, and tin* patient is not particularly susceptible
to the iutUicuco of medicine —not easily operated ou by
uiedlein# generally—a double dose, or two toaspoonnftll
may Is* given at lirst with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if It—the pulse—has not been softened.
t liu showing tho medicine ban taken effect.
Ikithiug the surface with water at an ngreeable
tm|>ertur, the saline wush, vinegar or spirits and
water, iu these difficult cases, will afford relief ami aid
the invdioiue much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(Five two teaspooiisful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a toa
-poonltil, to be discontinued as the fov.-v subside*. At
tho bowels are generally eonflued, and it is fnquently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in tldi disease,
uo time should be lust to got them open, give some active
cathartic witii the ‘‘Fluid” amt repeat as may lie neces
sary till it operates; euomas (injections) may also l>e
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (robbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the heart. Quinine may be added to the
” Fluid” if thought advisable, geo Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As tiles** fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly In degree, buiug all of a low grade, tin* pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
m.v treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, s little patience will be required; still
comparatively little. they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will b necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
Thu treatment should be commenced—which nrav
immediately follow any other without detriment with
Uteospoonful of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger iu volume, then to be continued I
nee iu six or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides. |
Iu bud cases, from three to tivo grains each of (fiunirte
aud capsicum (.Cayenne popper) or some tome aud slimu
laut (see auxiliaries) should he milled to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo vory loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and muctlagebons
drinks—such as are in common uso iu such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surlace as di
rected iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a toaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
witii a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boncsct; or
half tho quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, ut longer iutwrialg, say pneo iu six or eight hours.
The boneset tou should be given warm till tho violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Kuheoln anil Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
ami Scarlet Fever.
A oil of lhew: disease* uie attend* and with fever, which
in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs bun little from that of common fevers, it* member
never wuit to loam tho “ name ,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they nil commence wills fever, but
trout, it at once; govern the fever and tliere will bo no
trouble; there will I* a Out little eruption even iu small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, aud doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, thui small pox, if treated as
I direct, will he eulshort; attended with bttt little ernp-
Qun; littlo or no pilling, aud that there is iut necessity of
its running its ordinary course, on this 1 will slake
not only my reputation, but a.l that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that ol
Fros. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
••You may übate the force of llio eruptive lover, and
keep down, it is belie; ed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tho admission that it may
lie done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred ou board
ship, rioo Hie account appended.
(live a teaspoonful or more, according to tiro urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, uulil tiro fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should bu given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tho fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
I u one case, on the ship liuehess d’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tiro
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when ii was given in teaspounfui doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment iu ulwut twelve hours by tho 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 churning
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem
to l*e ol” littlo consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need Ik* entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should bo re
peated as long as tho fever continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of coursn should bo attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering, it
is to inform them of the happy effect of tiie Fluid in
many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.—
l’ainful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com
mon dose undroUring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one id’ the must convenientuud
effectual remedies lor many of the ills of females, if not
tiie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tiie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritubility of the nervous as well as tiie circulatory.
It Will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth and
quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use in so mauy cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tiie treat
ment ns much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for ail cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tho condition called fever, or subduo and
control It under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be Or ought to he culled, it should l*e 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 iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, aud these soliuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection witii it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then ho lost. As the *, Fluid” alone will sub
due the lever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) witii tho first dose, or soon after, ami should it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat tho dose; if attended
with diarrluca, givo something known to bo good for
that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, iKu haps, cloths wet in cold water, to the 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 au*+-"Jiot, with grout suffering, sponge or bathe tiie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tho saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either wj 11 afford great relief aud aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will lie no trou
ble; if tiie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absenco of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie
allayed before any medicine will remain on tho 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 has settled, give the •• Flflid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, g’iviug tiro
“Fluid” at tin* same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and thon you will be astonished at tiie ease
w ith which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant liy
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to bo fully understood by
all, I will name a lew of tho different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tho roots
or barks, and many pills, antihilious, Ac.; anything
known to bo good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act ou thF liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used iu 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 be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone er strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Hone
set or thoroughwort is one of the best used iu fevers.
Astringents.—Such as chock the action of the
bowels. I,auilanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
w hich have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tho best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences lire all more
or less stimulating. These are tin* only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others ore generally
used, tail tiie Negative Electric Fluid is a l*ct'cr “dia
phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” ami
“sedative” than known in the materia medico.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs*
depending mainly on tho results ot‘ a trial, ami will
only refer to one instance of success, that on tho
Pncketslilp Duchess D’Orlrnns,
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz—
We took passage ou the paoketship Liuehess d'urloans
Capt Ilutton. then lying in the port of Havre, France
ami bound for New York. She sailed on tiie 9th of Au
gust, 1831, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostly
emigrants- A few days alter leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician iu charge, l)r. N. IV. Seat, with
anew remedy othis own. which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with wbioh he seemed to have entire control
over tiie disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in i* very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty.nine days,
there ware about eighty ruses f small pox, some fever
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From wlint we saw during said passage, we arc fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion, iKissc-sses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so mnrh ease, promptness und certainty, or so little
trouble to tho nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever ou board, and not a death! The’
foot speaks for itself.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ;hc
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under tile titles
of bursapurillas, Pills, Plasters- Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Kent Use in Fuimoiiary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, l am acting most uuprofessioually,and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Helen re ami the regular
Practitioner* of Medicine. I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
useil with more success than any of the usual proscrip
tions used by Physicians.

This preparation ha* attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
tills medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolv* nt
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to tiie
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, it* natural and genial warmth
keeping tiie digestive power* in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood tho telt of the lneilicyl fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved of, and recommended by the lending
Physicians of New Yprk city. Every bottle is warranted
to give setiifaftion or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to lx- better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else imw extant.

TIMIE Fourth Volume of the American Cotton Planter,
I will commence with the January number,
in tiius formally announcing the’ Prospectus for tin
Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs to
add, sanguine in Die belief that, with the intelligent, in
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in tin
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of tiie Piani

the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In tire first place, we remark to our friends and rt-iuit-i ■
that tho Editor, Dr. Cloud, lias again liecome the Publish

Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in the
success of the first Annual Fair of tho Alabama rial*
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will take m
step backward” its progress is onward and upward w th’
highest nicho of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor aud proprietor, uni
by the members of the Society, that the Planters si' l
Farmers, the Mechanics uud Manufactures of Alabau ■
will rally en masse to tiie support of Alabama’s only (<*•
clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the Ala

he unfettered in the great work of developing the im
measurable resources of the Keystone State of the Soldi
“ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy. Moliufo
tures and the .Mechanic Arts,” the object of the Amiri
can Cotton Planter is to
“ Improve tile Soil and tbe Mind.”
With a corps of correspondents, numbering many , !
the most practical as well ua scientific minds of thi-S- obi
