NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. YV. Seat, M. 1).
Reasons why it should he used instead of any other treat
■ mcut in ail Febrile affections :
Koimomy of Time.—As ouly oneetevessth
of the ordinary tittle is required to effect a cure.
jil.—Ecoiiomy of Money. —As it costs but ouo
dollar.
3rd. — Kconouiy of Feeling— As it saves the
suffering of a long sickuess aud the consequent treat
ment ; the unuoyatice of taking nauseating doses of
tnodicine, tlieir disagreeablo operation, and the pain of
long oonflncracnt; hut little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4th. — Economy of Thought. —As when
known, it will remove all droad and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
sth. — Economy of Health. —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
tith. — Economy of Life.— As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger ox a fatal
torml nation.
Other reasons might lie added, but these are deemed
suiflcient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons ar ■ more.particularly applicable to
the Immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cades which have boon subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to the nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual anil perma
nent relief, ia all ordinary cases, when used Soon after
Coe attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
wcri not attacked with fever, and if so, “ft Was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general
impression on 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 ho can fully
.eaiizo 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 havo
been thus successful ill perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur wlicvo there is some
organic or local cause so great as hi require particular
attention, or though successful in reducing the fever,
U will again rise os the influence of the •• Uuld” passes
off, us the exciting cause may still exist. It Is to guard
against disappointment in sum cases that 1 Imvo given
and frequently refer to what i have railed a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General*
Oil this subject 1 wish to be fully understood, 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, and ill quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development uud exhibit a variety of forms or typos;
yet all aro distinguished by the same general character
istics—that oi undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am uot wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, I quote from the colobrafed J’rof. ‘J'. Watson,
of Kiug’s College, London, whoso work on the “ i'rinci
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently sbindurdauthority.
Uu page 834, he says: —“Wo hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of Cover s|o
ken of. iiy the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (iastro-Kntcric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 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
scribe lor a disease according to its name.. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can bo relied on. They run insensibly Into each
other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a groat fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress ou your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ nano;” If you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be. well instead of any distlnctcharactor being devel
oped, so as to he properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based ou closet specula
tious or visions of mind, but ou experience at the bed
side of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a groat variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But 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 courso to he pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Hides important to be observed in all. cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It Should be given in three or tour times its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or uot at
pleasure.
lid. Patients must lie free from all currents of air,
(though there should always lie free ventilation in the
sick room,) fior attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must be contiuued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed wlieu it
begins to rise again, should such he the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to tlieir wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, 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 iuteutsaud purposes.
sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as tho patient desires and no
longer; they may cousist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
tilh. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while iu tho lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after 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, giugcr. or some other stimulant; or tile face and
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to S drops.
“ over 1 uud under 2 years, “ 6to 15
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30 “
“ “ 5 lO “ “ 20 to 60 “
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a tsaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered ns adults, tor whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
no 1 ’ females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children —those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require mure thau adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine w ill
lie found agreeable iu all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sauguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that
the full benelit of the medicine may be obtained, and
lint on aceouut of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or KemiUcnt Fever.
(live a teasponful of “ F'luid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in the
“Rules.” But should there bo prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and 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 portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running U 0 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to tho influence of medicine—not easily operated oil by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousful
ufiiy be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—tho pulso—has not been softened,
thus showing tho medicine has taken effect.
Bathing tiio surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
w ater, .in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much iu taking effect.
Congestivc Fever.
Clive two teaspoousful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to bo discontinued as the fever subside*. As
the bowels are generally routined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease l ,
no i imo should be lust to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may he neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel: also, cold
applications to the head. Quiuiue may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship nnd 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, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
niy treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will be. necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of “F'luid” every two hours, till the pulso
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
noe in sltt or eight hours till fover entirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to five grains each Vis quinine
uud capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic uiul stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should bo added to each dose. The
bowels should lie kept gently open, and small portions
of some hcpnUic should bo given occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo very loose. Thu patient
should he huntamed by nourishing and mucllagenous
drinks—such as aro in common use iu such cases. —
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected iu bilious fever, wili be found advantageous.
Touics should Is) used during convalescence, iu all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, TypUold Puciimonla, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(Jive u teaspoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boucset; or
buir ttie quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The honeset tea should be given warm till tho violent
symptoms aro 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,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treulmeut
differs line little from that of colnnnm fevers. Remember
never wait to loam the “ name,'’ whether it is one or the
other, or m ilker, as they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever ami there will lie no
trouble ; there will be but little eruption even in small
poX. This, to most mijjd.s, is anew idea, and doubtless
will lie regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevcrthele. .
boldly make t lie assertion, that small pox, it treated ns
1 direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its miming its ordinary course, tin this I will stake
not only my reputation, hnt a.I ibui 1 hold most (tear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have gdod authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 374:
“You may abate tho force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the numbtr of the pustules by
Mpline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission mat it may
bo done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. . Seo the account appended.
(live a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
F'luid once in two hours If uecensary, until the fover sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera,ly sufficient;
hut it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles inay he used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, oil the ship DuchessdOrleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie wits cured by dropping the
F'luid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given iu teaspoonfttl doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The 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 tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Cliililbcd Fever.,
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric F'luid with such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single doso or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm neral be entertained, as tho
Fluid will arrest It in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as the fever continues, as iu otherxiases.
The bowels of course should be 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 and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of tlieir trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soolliing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once liy a com
mon doso and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or o cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convcuiontaml
effectual remedies formany of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of tho nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one call sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence iis use iu so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment tut much us possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name, it may beer ought to he 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 euro.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, us they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then bo lost. As tho ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (See auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should jt
fail to operate iu due time, repeat the dose; 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 inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho 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, skiu
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surlace 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 bo no Trou
ble ; if tho patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, ill absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea uud vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain oil 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 lias settled, give the “ F’luid” 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 sueoess will
crown your efforts; indeed,you cannot realize it tili you
have seen, and then you will bo astonished at tho ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may fool at a loso to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians aro usually particular
about what is used. 1 have touud uo such necessity
when using the F'luid, and lo he fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of the different, articles of tuedi
ciuo 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate ou the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, ant Rollons, Ac.; anything
known to he good for such purposes.
Deputies.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of tho articles depended on by the different schools
for this purjHisp, will answer when used in connection
with the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its iu
flueiice. And one may choose calomel —another, blue
mass—the third, podupliylliu—thu fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tunica.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
asquininc, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Ast l ing. nts. —Such as check the action of the
bowels, liiiuduuum and other preparations of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, uot properly Astringents,
whieh have tho effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is olio of the best:
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are tho 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 known In the materia medico.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of .proofs,
depending mainly on the results of u trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on tho
Packetsllip Duchess D'Orleans.
which cannot bo classed among ordinary eertlllcatos:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz—
.We took passage on the paeketship Duchess d'Orlcaus
Otipt Hutton, then lying in tho port of Havre, France’
and bound for New York, (she sailed on the Oth of Am
gust, 1851, with over n hundred souls ou board, mostly
emigrants- A few days alter leaving Havre, the .mail
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician iu charges Dr. N. W. Scat, with
anew remedy of hi* own, w hich he calls Negative Elec
tric F’luid, 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 the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there w ere about eighty eases of small pox. some fever,
Ac., nnd uot a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From wlmt we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness nnd certainty, or so little
trouble to tho nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a death.’ The
faet speaks fbr itself.

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has a’tended its use. For
roughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
Gils medicine, from its peculiar properties ns a dissolve nt

Fourth Volume, we have but u few short paragraphs i
add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, n.
dustrious patrons of progressive improvement iu li"’
Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Tom

thu Cotton Planter is its highest commendation.
In the first place, we remark to our friends and nwfc-r*

Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated iu the tiiunqi -
success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama M ‘
Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “ will tula ■

highest niche of improvement.
It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, •
by tho members of tlio Society, that, the Planter# m
Farmers, the Mechanics und Manufactures of A lata •
will rally cn masso to the support of Alabama’s only >
clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the ‘■
