TS3ATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. D.
lit mod* why it should be used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections:
lt.--£coaomy of Time. —A# only one-seventh
el tbo ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
‘iiU'Economy of Money, —As it costs but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feeling.— As it saves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nausoating doses of
aaediciDe, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; hut little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
*th. — Economy of Thought. —As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
3tli.— Economy of Health. —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
ruhjoct to be followed by chronic disease.
tlth, — Economy of Life. —As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might bo added, but these are doomed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and jatrsons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons ar ■ more particularly applicable to
Uie immediate treatment oti the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
Vi the nature of the case at the time it is ffrst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent rebel, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realise Unit they hat
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y
wer • not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—lt could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed oil’ witli
oni anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the euro of a common case
i-.s naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
‘ be individual has witnessed many cases that, lie can fully
.ualiao the truth; and oven then he may conclude them
all very tilfling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will ruses occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though sitceessiul in reducing the fever,
. it will again rise as tbo influence of the “Fluid” passes
olf, as the exciting cause muy still exist, it is to guard
against disappointment m sae.li cases that I have given
nnd frequently refer to what 1 have culled a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fever* lu General*
On this subject I wish to be fully undersbxid. lly the
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, nnd in quite dissimilar constitutions
uud habits, they of course differ considerably iri their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in tlio pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, X quote from tbu celebrated I’rof. T. M atson,
ol King’s College, Loudon, whose work on tho - 1 i’riuci
p|. -and Practice Os Physic” is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
(in pago 834, he says:—“Wo hear continually, both In
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. liy the public, Typhus Fever, ltrain Fever,
bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
sic. Ami systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (lustro-Kntone, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows Itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the eflect upon tho
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
eucourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its naine. There is no
lino of genuine distinction DetWoen continued fevors,
that can bo relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, ovuu the most dissimilar of them, und are often
traceable to the same cause.”
Tho above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of bunting
up or troubling yourself about u “ name;” if you have
lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
Mill be well insteud of any distinctcliaraoter being dcvul
■ -pod, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based pn closet specula
tiuns or visions of mind, but on experience at the bod
sido of tbo sick, in hundreds, ayo, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates, bear this in nitud,
and treat at once without regard to name., ami rest
assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the ** Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.
Utiles important to hr observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
,Ist. It should bo given In three or four times Us own
quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at
pleasure!.
Sid. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in the
sick rootti,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must he continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must,
bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to tlieir wan-tH or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till tlieir own natural ftdingt, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation bo allowed in tlieir hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
Mil. 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 patients desire.
bill. Should patients experience any oppression or
faiulnesa while iu the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast maybe bathed iu cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
*• over 1 and under 2 years, “ &to 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ l2 to 30
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60
“ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a tonspoonful is a commou dose. Old persons do net
require us much as young, or those iu the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much u.< males.
There la uo particular care necessary iu giviug it to
children —those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses; hut for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults iu proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medifftne will
bes mud agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object lu being thus particular is, that
the full bouellt of the medicine tnay bo obtained, and
not on account of nuy acttuil necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
Give a teasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple oases of
fqvor, with such observances as are sot forth in the
“ltules.” Hut should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attMidud to at once, uud while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If iu any ease the bowels are particularly constipated
or routined, pive a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with tho
fl rst portionthey must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and tho pntiout is not particularly susceptible
t.< tho iufiumiee of medicine —not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousful
may bo given at first with advantage, and even repeated
In two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Buthiug the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits nnd
water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief nnd aid
tho medicine much iu takiug effect.
Congestive Fever.
Ohre two taaspoousful and repeat every two hours till
tho pulse becomes more full and soft, thru only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as tile fever subsides. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it Is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in thlv disease,
uo t line should be lost to get them opeu, give some active
cathartic with tho “ Fluid” and repeat as may l>o neces
sary till it operates; euemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flantfel; also, bold
applications to the head. Quinitie may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. 800 Synopsis,
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever,
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
iimiuly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
•iiutll and wiry, with a general great depression there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far ns
my treatment is concerned, lu these low fevors, w hen
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, hs they frequently run weeks under
tlu, common treatment, while with this but a few days
will I*, necessary at longest to establish a permanent
cenvuleuoence.
Tho treatment should be commenced—whieh may
immediately follow any other without detriment with
a teaspoonftil of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volnme, then to be continued
nc* in stator eight hours till fever entirely subsides.
In bod eases, from three to live grains each of quinine
and capsicum. (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
laut (see auxiliaries) should bo added to each close. The
bowels should ho kept gently open, and small portions
of some liepalw should bo given occasionally, oven
though the bowols should be very loose. Tbo patient
should bo sustained by nourishing and mucilageuous
drinks—such as are iu common use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging tile surface as di
rected iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typlioitl Pneumonia, Dung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wino-glasslul ofa stroug decoction of Loueoet; or
half tho quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should bo given warm till the 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, Rubeola and .Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
anil Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wuit to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the
oilier, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but
trout it at unco; govern the fever and there will l;e no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even iu small
pox. Tills, 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 be cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no idtting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, tint all that l hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, pago 874:
“ You may übate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, lliu number oj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be done. I nave not only proven it mug be, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. fice.tlie account appended.
Give a teaapoouful or more, according to the urgency
of tlie ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once hi two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides —though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tlio fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface batliod, as thought advisable.
In one ottse, on the ship Duchessd’OrleanS, the tongue
and sauces were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid oil his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every houri till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tho throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tho Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or CHililljetl Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous ami alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of r.
toaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a slioi t time, it should lie re
pealed ns long us the foyer continues, as in other cases.
Tho bowels of course should be attended to.
iu connection witli this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the Indies, will save them much pain and suffering, it
is to inform them of tlio happy effect of the Fluid in
many of tlieir trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must ho triad to ho appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will bo relieved tit once by a com
mon dose ami retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tho moat convenient and
offoctuai remedies for many of the ills of females, it not
the most so of any medicine known. Us uff'ect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritalillity of the nervous as well as the circulatory,
it will not force sleep like opiates, but it. will sooth and
quiet tlio system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; lienee its use iu 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 Llectric Fluid
Will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may Lai or ought to be called, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot ho ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when Biieli exist, must be removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given w hile
giviug the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing moro general effect, besides uo unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soou after, und should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local
pail! or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard phister, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, lo tho part; if
violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tho feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skiu
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or liathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tiie 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 ; it the pat font lias beeu reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonies and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlio patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomitiug, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose 1 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 the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, aud then you will bo astonished at the case
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
I'arties may feel at a less to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is iiHod. 1 have found ho such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to he fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat Hart Ics.— Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or Larks, and many pills, antlbilious, Ac.; anything
known to bo good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.— Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by tho different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
ti nonce. Ami cue may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, pottopliyllin— the fourth, mandrake
root, mid so on; each may take Ids choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that give tono or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
sot or I borough wort is one of the best used iu fevers.
A sti lngeiil s.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents
which have the effect.
Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of the host;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are ail more
or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry ill treating fevers, though many ethers are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid ts a better “ dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
” sedative” than known iu the materia medico.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Pnckrtshlp Duchess D’Orleans.
which cannot bo classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to tlio following, viz—
Wo took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orleaiis
Capt Hutton, then lviug in the port of Havre. France*
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1851, with over u hundred souls on beard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, Thev were all
treated by the physician iu charge, Dr. N. \V.‘ 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 sow hours, and curing
in h very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there w ere about eighty cases of small pox, sonic fever
Ac., nod not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fall v
conviticod that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtue's. We never before
beard or road of febrile affections being controlled w ith
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
smnll pox nnd fever on board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

Dear Sir —The public generally are fully aware of (he
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillas, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object iu writing this note

who are afflicted, to use oue that contains articles of
A 'cat Use. iu I‘ulmntmry Diseases. 1 ,-tm conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessionally, and deroga
turily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of M-diciue, I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used witli more success than any of tho usual prescrip

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
cough*, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
nnd its soothing power to all irritations of tho throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As au appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also bo found excellent, its natural and genial Warmth
