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.
