NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, j
Prepared by N. YV. Seat, M■ U.
Reasons why it should bo used instead ol any other trent
tncWt lu all Febrile affection*:
Ul.-Ui'oiiumy of Time.—As'iyly onkrttcenth
4 llio ordinary time lx required to eflect a cure.
‘4d.—Uvoiiouiy of Money*—As it c-sts but one
’ iloiiar.
liril,—Economy of Feeling.—As it naves the
snlleriug of a long sickness and the conoequnnt treat
muut; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, tlioir disagreeable operation, and thu pain of
long confinement; but little of thu finid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its efforts.
4tit.—Economy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respootiiig febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
3th.—Eronoiny of Health. -As the system
is not reduced, ami consequently racked; nor in the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
flth.— Economy of Life.—As the euro is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger ol'a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but tliese are deemed
xuttloient to satisfy all classes ami persons in ell condi
tions of life.
Tbo above reasons ur’ more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to eases which have been auhjcct
<*d to or Inure become reduced, corresponding of course
♦,o the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perm a
limit relief, hi all ordinary canes, when used soon alter
the attack, persona can scarcely realize that they had
boon really nioch sick, and very naturally conclude they
wit i 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 wilh
out anything—that medicine had uoeffcct.” The general
impression on the subject of is slid), Unit thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally as jneli think at all; and it is not until
*'iu individual has witnessed many coses that he can fully
.ealize the truth; and even then he may conclude tließi
all very trilling cases, which would liavo readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
exp.S't that there will cases ocour wln-re there is some
organic or local cause so great as io require particular
attention, or though success,ill in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the •• fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause nmy still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment m snen cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fever* In General*
Ou tills subject I wish to be fully understood, lly Die
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including Hina 11 pox
and oilier eruptive fevers; but an 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 all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in tha circulatory and
nervous systems —inducing morn or less unnatural fre
quency in tlie pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tlye skin,
debility, Ac.
To snow that I am not. wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from tho celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King's College, Loudon, whose work on the “ I’rinci
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard author tty.
On page 834, lie says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By tlie public, Typhus Fever, Brain fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to tlie full as particular.
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adyuainic, Oastro-Kpitoric, nud
so forth. Now, admitting that fever simws itself under
various forms, I am per,-,uaded that the effect upon tlie
mind of all this sul>-division, is laid and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your miuds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once hn hereafter directed, arid you
will tie well instead of any dlstinCtcliaracter being devel
oped, so as to he properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or vlslous of mind, but ou experience at the bed
side of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in miud,
aud treat at once 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 tlie “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
us briefly as possible tlie proper course to bo pursued in
all of the most prominent levers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tlie sick.
Itnlee important to he observed in nil cases in using the
Negative Flectric Fluid.
Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may lie sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always lie free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its iu
fl nonce.
3d. It must he coutlnued whenever tho fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to he resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such tie thu case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the (fever begins to subside, patients must
lie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wands or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till tlieir earn natural feelings, independent of ail extra
neous influences, iruluce. them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation he allowed in tlioir hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, hut be left
quiet to nil intents and purposes'.
6lh. Fluids should he allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and ns 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 nuiy prefer or patients desire.
titli. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in thu lying posture, so ns to occasion a
restlessness utter the fever lias 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 in 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, “ 3to 15 “
“ “ 3 “ 5 “ “ Id to3o “
“ ” 5 “ 10 “ “ dO to 50 “

All persons over tilt ecu considered as lulults, tor whom
a teas poo ulill is a common dose. Old persons do not
require ns much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor (females, as a general rule, as much as ‘males.
There U no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with tlie remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing tlie above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, find mauy perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may bo obtained, and
not on account of any actant necessity of such strict ob
servances.
11l lions or KcmHtrnt Fever.
Dive a tvasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oil'; this
constitutes tlie whole treatment iu all simple ruses of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
“ Utiles.” But should there he prominent local syntp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should 1.,-
attended to at once, and while giving the ” Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
It’ in any case the bowels are particularly oousUpatcd
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must be opened or Die fever limy rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, aud the patient is uot particularly susceptible
to tho Influence of medicine—nut easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousful
may be giveu at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been S"J't> urd,
thus allowing tho medicine has taken effect.
Bathing tlie surface with water at au agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, iu those difficult cases, will afford relief aud aid
the medic!ue much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
• live two tcaspiMuisful and repeat every two hours till
tlm pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a too
spoonful, to lie discontinued as the fever subsides. As
Die bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no lime should la’ lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also l>e
list'd to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Muinine may lu- added to tlie
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis,
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Pntrtxl
or Spatted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
muinly iu degree, living all of a low grade, the pulse
small aud wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far us
my treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
tully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, ns tliey frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent
oanvalsscenoe.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment with
a lempooiiftj of ‘■ FluldT every two hours, till the pulse

nee in sin or eight houti till toe fever entirely subsides.

As all of these discas'-s are attended wilh lever, which
in fact is thfe most prominent symptom, the treatment

never wait to learn the “/raws,,” whether it is one or the
Other, of neither, as they all commence with Ji cur, but

(five a 1 ohsp<"infill or more, according to file urgency
or tiie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until llioleversub
sides—though one or two doses ia generally sufficient;
hut it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tin’ fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may bo used, and tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
J ii one case, oil thu ship Duchess d'Urleaha, llio tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that tho patient could
not swallow or apeak, and he was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, tillliocould swallow,
when ii was given in teaxpoonful doses every knar, till
all alarniilyi symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment ill aliiiut twelve hours by the Fluid ulmie.—
Used to wet the Diroat frequently, it is doubtless (lie
best gargle in ail such eases.
Puerperal or Cliildbetl Fever.,
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to w hich the mother is liable, will yield to Dm
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaxpoonful, almost invariably giving entire aud per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tlie
Fluid w ill arrest it in a sliolt time. Lt should be re
peated as long as the fever continues, as iu other cases.
The Isiwels of course should be attended to.
in connection with this subject, l cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much foiin and suffering, it
is to inform them of tlie happy effect ol tlie Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing ami
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must Ih> tried to bo appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tlie most oonvonientvuid
effectual remedies lor many of thu ills of females, if not
tlie most so of any medicine known, its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of tho nerVous its well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli ami
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, am I condense tlie treat
ment as much its possible, i give under this lieud general
directions for all cases. As tlie Negative Klectric Fluid
will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tiie
name it may lie or ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must lie removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
lie appropriate means, aud these soliuid be given wiiiio
giving tho “Fluid,” and in connection with it. when
Occasion requires, as they will thou mow readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the Fluid” ulono w ill sub
due the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tlie first dose, or suou alter, anil should it.
fail to operate in duo time, repeat tiie dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho
“Fluid’ will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomeutatioiis oi bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
Die feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry aud hot, with great suffering, sponge \ir bathe the
whole surface with waft-rat tut agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water nr spirits and
water, cither will allord great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking eflect, after w hich there will bo no trou
ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much proetra
ted, give tonics and stitnulauts, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever nr when indicated; al-o,
during convalescence, when tin- patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will'remain on the stomach
to do any go ld; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; vvariu water, if
given plentifully, will answer ett-ry purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all.the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
•• Fluid” at the same time ns directed, and success will
crown your efforts; iudeed. you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you w ill lie astonished at tho ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
thirties nmy feel at a loss to know w hat is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 shave found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to bo fully understood by
oil, I w ill name a tew of tlie different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz :
Cist linrtlc*.—Articles tlmt purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oli, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antihilious, Ac.; anything
known to tie good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.— Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Aliy of the articles depended ou hy tlie different srliouis
for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is uuder its in
fluonco. And one may choose cajouiel—another, blue
mass—tho third, podopliy Dili—Die fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and he suc
cessful.
Tonies.—Articles that giro toiie or strength, such
asquinine, various barks, roots aud bitter lurbs. Bone
set or tlioroughviort is one of the 1.-st used in fevers.
Ast rliigculs.—Jiucli as check tha action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, net properly astringents,
which have tlie effect.
Stimulants,—Articles tlmt raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne popper) is one of tile best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Ac., tho essences are all more
or less stimulating. Them’ are tho only classes necessa
ry in treating levers, though many others are generally
used, but tho Negative Electric Fluid is a better “ dia
phoretic,*’ ‘'anodyne,” “diuretic.” •• relaxant “ ami
“sedative” than Wuown in the materia mnlica.

depending mainly on tlie results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the

Tills preparation Inis attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which hits attended its use. Fpr
coughs, colds, and iu fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties a* a dissolvent
and Its soothing power to *ll irritations of tlie throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also lie ftmud excellent, its natural and gonial warmth
koeping the digestive powers ill proper time.
Remember that this is tlie only t ough Medicine that
ha* at'Hjd tlis test of tho medical fraternity. It ie sanc
tioned by, approved of, aud recommended liy the leading
Pliyaicinus of New York city. Every bottl* )s win-ranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant.
