existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.

Its murks on Fevers In (fcncrah
On lliirf subject 1 wish to ho fully understood, lty tlie
. .‘riii ’* fevers.” I eoinpri'Uctid all febrile aflefitions to
wtin.U tlie liufnau frame is subject, hieluding small pox
..in) other eruptive fevers; but os they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they el course differ considerably in their
del lupine it t and exhibit a variety of ■forms err types;
yjit all are distinguished by the same general cliuruetqr
.sties—l.lipt ol uudne cxcitaufpnt iu tlie eireuliitury and
n.irv.ins systems- inducing more or less unnuturulfre
quency in the pulse, sense of bout, dryneps of tlie skin,
debility, Ac..
To show that I am not wholly alone iu the opinion 1
wlv.iuco, 1 quote from th 6 celebvafeil Prof. T. Matson,
... King's College, hondou, w liose work on the” I’l inci
p. anil I’raotice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
n- ni'idi. aleolleges, and consequently standardautlu/ritu.
■n p.gu S:U, ho says;—“We hear con linimlh, both iu
uid irtil of Lhe profession, different species of fever spo

Bilious Foyer, Putrid Fever, Isiw Fever, Nervous Fever,
And systematic writers are to tlie full us narticirUr:
Min-uus iVvcr, Ataxic, Adynumic, Gustro-Eiileric, and
:o liirlh. Now, admitting that fever snows itself under
, si"us forms, ,1 am persuudeil Unit tlie effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful, ft
~c ntra..es a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro-
I'Tbe lor a disease according to its no.-c. There is no
tin,.of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
b:U i ;n lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
ij.hu;. even tlie UMBt dissimilar of them, and are often
..cable to the same cause.”
Pile above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
i. i I would impress eii your niiinls tlie folly of iiunting
up nr troubling you.seif about a “ nttoii'-;” if you have
p.ver, U’.-at it at once ns hereafter directed, and you

And treat at once without regard to name, and rest
MKsmud you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
in“ and dangerous levers. lint as cases may have bc
. mio devotoped before tho ‘•fluid” is given, cither by
nogleot, or under some other treatment, I will describe
ict briefly as possible tho proper course to be pursued in

Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Pntril
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all rif one character, differing
oaiinly In degre,'. all of a low grille, the pulse
email and wtry. witli a general great depression, there is
no practical use iu separating them—at least so far as
mv treatment IS concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed. a little pptienca will be required: still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to eduhlt-'h a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should 1) commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment witli
• teaspoonful of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to he continued
so* in six or eight hours till fever entirely subsides.
In bud eases, from three to tivo grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic aud stiinu
lidit (see auxiliaries) should bo added to each dose, lire
bowels should bo kept gently open, and small portions
of some liejiatic should bo given occasionally, even
though tiie bowels should bo very loose. Ibs patient
should bo sustained by nourishing and mucilagi nous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Whore the skin is very dry, sponging tho surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should boused during convalescence, iu all cases
which have becorno reduced.
Pueumoulu, Typhoid Pntumoul,Xiiuig
or Winter Fever.
(jive II leaspoouful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction ot b. unmet; or
half the quantity may bo given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The houeset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms aro allayed, or tlie patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
tlie kind, to be applied over tho seat of pain; keep tho
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Kubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of tiiese discasoo are attended with fever, which
in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from Unit of common fevers. Komijnihcr
never wait to learn the “ name,'’ whether it is one or, the
other, or nr,Uher, as they all commence with /ever, hut
treat it at once; goVeru tlie fever ami there wijl bo no
trouble; there will Is. hut little rnytiuu even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will he regarded w ith ridicule by many, i nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, Hint small pox, if treated os
i direct, mill he cut slant; attended with but little erup
tion; little or iro pitting, and that there is nh necessity ol
its running its ordinary course. (In this i wilt stake
not only my reputation, but ai that 1 lb rid most dear;
besides, on this suiijcct, I have good authority; tblit ul
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
” You may abate tlie force of tlie eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie nundnr of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission that it may
be done. 1 nave not’ only proven it may he, but has
been done iii numerous eases that occurred on board
ship, bee the account appended.
(live a tcaapoOnful or more, according to tho urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; retreat tlie
Fluid once ill two 11011111 il necessary, 11141.il the fever sub
side.-,—though one or two doses is genera.iy suflicient;
but it should lie given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tlie fever under control. W hen tlie throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, ns thought advisable.
ill one ease, 011 the ship Duchess d'Orleans, tlie tongue
and taunts were So much swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till hecould swallow,
when it was given in teuspoonful doses every hour, til!
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 tlie Fluid alone.—
Used tu wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle iu all such cases.
Puerperal or CHildibcil Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alurming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to scent
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
leaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent. relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrpst it in a short time. It should be re
peated us long ns the Inver continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
In connection with tiiis subject, I cannot refrain from
making a tow general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and sulibring. It
rs to inform them of tho happy effect of tlie Fluid in
many of their trials. In cliild-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at onee 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 the most convenient aud
elfectnai remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tho most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tho whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous us well as tho circulatory,
it will not forco sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; lienee its use in so nmuy cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may he or ought to he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should,
be appropriate means, und those sohuld bo given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, wiien
occasion requires, ns they will then moro readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As tho Fluid” alone will sub
due tile fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tlie
“ Fluid” will soon relievo that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or. perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tho part; if
violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tlie feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tho saline wash,” vinegar ami water or spirits mid
water, either will ail'ord great relief and aid tlie medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will he uo trou
ble ; if tlie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in Tow
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlie patient inis become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, 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 tho stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when llie
stomach has settled, give tho “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all tho prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
•• Fluid” at tlie same time as directed, sml success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at tho ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I Have found no giic.li necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 w ill name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
A'a< lia < ics.—Articles that purge or operate oil the
bow els, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many (.ills, antibilums, Ac.; anythin”
know n to be good for such purposes.
Ihqialics,—Anything known to net mi the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by tho ditfcreiit schools
for this purpose, will answer w hen used in connection
witli the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. Amt one may choose calomel —another, blue
mass—tlie third, podophylltn—tho fourth, mandrake
root, and so ou; each may take his choice and bestir
cess fill.
Tunic*.—Articles thatgive tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone
sei or thorougliwort is one of the liest used iu fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels, laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlie effect.
Sttmnlants.—Articles that raise or excite tlie
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one-of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are ail more
or less stimulating. Those arc the only classes necessa
ry tu treating lovers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic, *’ “anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” and
“ sedative” than kuowu in the materia medica.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of prooft,
dapending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
i’nokrtshlp Hiiclics* IVOi-leuns.
which cannot bo classed among ordinary certificates:
Wo, tlie undersigned, certify to tlie following, viz—
Wo took passage on the puckutship Duchess d’Orleans
Ciipt llutton, then lying ui the port of Havre. France’
aud hound for New York. 8110 sailed on the llih of Am
gust, 1861, with over a hundred sotiis „ n beard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tho small
pox broke out among the emigrants. They were nil
treated by the physician iu charge,l)r. N. W.' Be.it. with
n new remedy of Ilia own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which ho seemed to have entire control
over tlie disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curin ’
imi very short time.
During tlie voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty cases of small pot. some fever,
Ac., and not n single death. All were cured with uuu”
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully

Dear 8ir —Tlie public generally are fully aware of .lie
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 in writing this note
for publication, is to induce tlie public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that coutaius articles of
Had Use in I'ulnionury IHscascs. I urn conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most unpiofi'ssinuttlly.aud dcroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and tlie regular
Practitioners of MoUiciue. 1 refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 lmvc
used With more success than any Os the usual prescrip
tions used l.y Physician*.

O. 0. Woodman —Dour Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial und am well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article 1 ever met with. 1
would lie pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot

This pnqKU'iition bus attained a wide celebrity from
the nnlVei'Hul success which has attended its use. F'or
coughs, colds, aud in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
tiiis medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolv. nt
and its soothing power to nil irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other ottered to tile
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural iintl genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this 1* the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of tho medicul fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved of. and recommended by the lending
Physicians of New York city. Every Kittle is warranted
