Oth.—Economy of Life.—As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all itangeror a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be lidded, but these iue doomed
(UtHcient to satisfy ali classes ami persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the lirst attack, hut will
ipply with equal force to cases which have Imen subject

Mi the nature nf tin) ease at the lime It is first adminis

As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual a oil perm a
ueut relief, in all ordinary eases, wlieu used soon after
h” attack, jienians can scarcely realise that they had
lieen really much sick, ami very naturally conclude th y
wr not attacked with lover, and if mo, “it ivas trilling
-a little cold, which gave alarm—it. could have lieon
n.uliing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out ii ny thing—that medicine h:ul no effect.” Tim general
impression on tho subject of fever is such, that llioughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at nil; and it in not until
de individual lias witnessed many eases that he cun fully
.euiizu tho truth) and even then ho may conclude them
alt very tritiing cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
I,rt'Mi thus siKvesaiui in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expert that there will cases occur win re there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though suceersiul in reducing tho fever,
it will again rise as the iniliioiice of the Fluid” passes
off, a toe exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in sum cases tluit 1 have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “ synopsis.”
lleutarks ou Fsvers In General’
Dll this subject T wish to be fully understood. Ily the
term “ fevers, n I comprehend all febrile affections to
winch tho human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut ns Ihey arise by a gr eat
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
mid habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development uud exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement In tho circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency In (he pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac. •
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
.dvauoo, I quote from tlie celebrated l’tut. T. Watson,
•■I King's College, Loudon, whose work on the •• i’riuci
,des and Pructice of Physic” Is a text imok in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority.
’ m page 834, tie says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever‘spo
ken of. ily tlie public, Typhus Fever, lirutn Fever,
bilious Fever, l’utrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac! Aud systematic writers ore to the full as particular;
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Knterlc, ami
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that tlie effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful, it
, nconrages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
crlbo for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers.
Unit can be relied on. They mu insensibly into each
ether, even tlie most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to tlie same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
ami i would impress oil your minds the folly of limiting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you hove
lever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you
mill lie well instead of any distinctclmracter being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
sole of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and ethers) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons mid climates. Hear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to mime, and rest
assured you will soon ho 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
as lirielly as possible tlie proper course to be pursued in
all of I lie most prominent fevers, though tlie “ Rules”
aud “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.
Kules important to be. observed in nil eases in using the
liegatire Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should he given in three or four times Its own
quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation in tlie
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
tluuaco.
Hd. It must Isj continued whenever the fover subsides,
or is evidently puwing off; to be resumed when it
be jins to rise again, should such ho tho case under any
circumstances.
Itl). When the fover begins to subside, patients must
ho left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not lie questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their oipn natural feelings, independent of all extra
m uni influences, induce them to rise ur speak; nor
Inmld any conversation ho allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but lie left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
fall. Fluids should bo 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 patieuts desire.
6th. Should patieuts experience any oppression or
lain tilers while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tho fever lias passed off, or euough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast may bo bathed in cold water; either of which
will give Immediate relief.

Alt persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a ti'asjSKinlul is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those ill the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
there is mi particular caro necessary in giving it to
.children —those often years of ago frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, I have given the
übovo table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing tlie above directions, tlie medicine will
lie found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of (die most sanguine realised, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object iu being thua particular is, that
the full benefit of tlie medicine may be obtained, aud
not ou acoount of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Utltonii or Remittent Fever.
Oive a teaspout'ul of “ Fluid” (see ruli> Ist) one* in
two hours, till tlio fever is evidently passing oil; this
ounetitntos the whole treuturout in till simple cues of
fever, with such observances us are set forth in the
“liiiles,” Hut should there he prominent locul symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to ut once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
if in auy case the bowels ere particularly constipated
or routined, give it cathartic (see auxiliaries) witli the
urst portion ; they must be opened or the fovor may rise
again.
Whore the fever is very high, pulse muuing 110 or
upwards, and the patient is uot particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
iiKHlieine generally—a double dose, or two touspoonsful
may be given ut llrst with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been tn/lriwd,
thus showing the modicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, viuegar or spirits and
water, in these dillieult eases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
dive two touspoonsful and repeat every two houre till
th” pulse becomes more full and so It, then only a tea
tire bowels Are generally confined, and it is frequently
very dflHcuUto get medicine to operate in tldl disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
ut hurtle with the “ Fluid” aud repeat as uuty be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubblngi with the bauds or llannel; also, gold
applications to the head. Quinine may he added to the
” Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis,
Sim ons Fever, Typhus, Ship anil Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, witli a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will he required; still
comparatively little, ns they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hot a few days
be necessary at longest to establish a permuuent
waivalescence.
QH The treatment should bo commenced—which may
mediately follow any other without detriment with
teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomesJWler or larger in volume, then to he continued
uca in six or eight hours till t*e fever entirely subsides.
In bad cams; from three to live grain* each of quinine
and c lysu um, (Cayeuue pepper) or some fouio and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should (w hdded to puch dose. The
bowuSe should he kept gently open, and small portions
of some IwpaHd should be glvftn occasionally, even
though the bowels should he very loose. The patient
should lie sustained by nourishing urcl mucilage nous
drink*—such as are iu common use iu such Closes.—
Where the skin i very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected iu bilious lever, will bo louud advantageous.
Tonics should be u.-;o<l during convalescence,‘iu all case's
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Put uiuonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(jive a loas|iooiiful ot tlie” Fluid” every two hours,
With a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boqcsot; or
hall the quantity may ho given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intel vals, say once in six or eight hours.
The bonenet tea should be given warm till thu violent
symptoms are allayed, or tlie patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentation*. ffiustaid plaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over tho seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, llußenin mid .Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, MtasUs,
and fic&rlet Fever.
As all of these diseases arc attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, tho treatment
differs lme little from that of common fevers, lteumniber
never Wait loleiu u, tlie “ name.” whether it is one or tlie
other, or neither, h* they all commence with Jiv.r, hut
treat it at once; govern thu fever and there will lie no
trouble, there will be but tittle ireftivn even iu small
pox. This, turnout minds, is anew idea, uud doubtless
wiH bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 novurlhoick
boldly make tile as- u tion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will lie cut short; attended with but little erttp
liou; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its iiinuiiig its ordinary course. On tin, ( will stake
not only my reputation, but ail Unit 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; licit of
I’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says,"page 874:
‘‘You may abate th# forcu of llio eruptive lever, and
keep down, Uis believed, the number of the, pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Herein thu admission teat it may
lie done. 1 navo not only pi oven it indy be, hut has
been done in numerous case* that occurred oil Issu'd
ship. Sou tlie account appended.
(liven toaspoouful or more, according to the urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid ouce in two hours if necessary, until tiro fever sub
sides—though uni) nr two doses is genera,ly sufficient;
but it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When tlie throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, aud tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
iu one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orieans, tho tongue
and sauces wore so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on ids tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in tcaspoonlul doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours iiy the Fluid alouo. —
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle, iu all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tbe
Negative Klectric Fluid witli such 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 in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as tlm fever continues, as iu other cases.
Tho bowels of course should lie attended to.
1 n connection with tills subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
thu ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of tho happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, ils relaxing and
soot hing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at ouce by u com
mon dose anil retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of tlie most convenient aud
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
(be most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
aud iritubility of the nervous as well as tlie circulatory.
It \yill not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth aud
quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use iu so many eases.
Synoptia.
Tn avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition culled lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may boor ought to he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected te control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
Wliou such indications occur in any case, they should
lie appropriate means, and these sohuid be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it. when
occasion requires, as they will then mere readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then bo lost. As the'*, Fluid” aloue will sub
due the fever, 1 call all elso auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dosu; if attended
with diarrhoea, 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 imlammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; It
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet In hot water; if tlia fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
w hole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash.” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will he no trou
ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in 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 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 Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, ami then you will bo astonished at ‘the ease
with w hich you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may fool at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have leiuid no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and in he tally understood by
all, l will name a tow of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred te, viz s
C nt hart Irs,—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as caster oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antihilious, Ac.; anything
known to he good liir such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended 011 by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with tlie “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—aunt her, blue
mass—tlie third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, ami so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.— Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone
net or thoroughwort is one of the liest used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bow els. laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, ‘many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlie effect.
SHmulnnts,.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all mere
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are genetiillv
used, hut the Negative Klectrlc Fluid is a better •• dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “dlurelic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in tlie materia mreliea.
1 shall uet 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 the

AMERICAN COTTON PLANTER
FOR 1556.
tT'HE Fourth Volume of the American Cotton Planter,
X will commence with the January number.
In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for the
Fourth Aulume, we have but a tew short paragraphs to
add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, in
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in the
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Plant
ing States, and especially Alabamians, tlie past history ol
the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In tlie first place, we remark to our friends and retains
that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become the Publish
er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our renders,
emphatically, that iu future the Cotton Planter shall is
sue promptly by the first day ofeach month.
Hushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibition 1 1
Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in the triumphant
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama Btan
Agricultural Society, tlie Cotton Planter “ will take ie
step backward” its progress is onward and upward to tin
highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and
tiy the members of tlie Society, that tlie Planters and
Farmers, tlie Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama,
will rally cu masse to the support of Alabama’s only (<.'•
clusively) Industrial Periodical, tlie Organ of tlie Ala
bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may
be unlettered in the great work of developing the im
measurable resources of the Keystone State of the Semi,
“Dovoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Miunffiw
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” tlie object of the 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 of the South,
we feel assured we shall be able to visit our patrons <*n
the lirst of each month, to their entire satisfaction and
profit.
Every family in tlie country, whatever msy be th* :r
avocation, should patronise sonic Agricultural paper; be
cause there is no reading mutter published to the world
so innocent, and at the same time so practically p” tiU1 ’
ble iuall tlie w alks of life as that obtained in agood V rl
cultural Periodical. Tlie American Cotton Planter *''i
issue promptly by the first day of the mouth, it will ‘*
uniformly printed in magazine style, on good white le
per, witli now and fair type, securely stitched anil trim
