NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, ! Pi tpui'eil l>y 91. W. Seat, 91. D. I.i aon why it should be used instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affection*: i t,— Kcunoiuy of Time.—A* only oncrttoe.nth .1 tile ordinary time is required to effect a cure. 4d.Kconomy or Money.—A* it cost* but one dollar. 3rd.— Kconomy of Feeling.— As it nave* the suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. 4th. —Kconomy of Thought.—A* when kuown, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while a dear friend is sick. sth.—Kconomy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. Oth.—Kconomy of Life.—As the euro iseffectod before and without reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fetal termination. Other reasons might he added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. The aliove reasons arc more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the iirst attack, but will apply with equal force to cases winch have been subject ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course to the nature of the case at the time it is flrst adminis tered. As this roinedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, In all ordinary eases, when used smn after the attack, persons van scarcely realize that they bad been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they 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 off with out 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 ease as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until “to individual has witnessed many cases that h e-can fully .eallze the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trifling caees, which would havo readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must . sped that there will cHses occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require,particular attention, or though successful in reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment lit snen cases that X have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” fleinarks on Fevers In General* On Ibis subject I wish to bo fully understood. By the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame is subject, including small pox ami 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 and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istic* —that ol undue excitement in the circulatory ami nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the Skill, debility, 4c. To show that I um not wholly alone ill the opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, Igiudon, whoso work on the ‘•Princi ples and Practice ol’ Physic” is a text book in many of our medical colleges, and consequently slumlordaulhority. Mu page 834, he says : —“We hear continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, l,ow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to thu full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Enterie, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever sliowh itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of ail this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no libe of genuine distinction between continued fevers, Unit can bo relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of Uiem, and are often traceable to the same cause.” Tlio above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance ami I would impress ou your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will lie. well instead of any distinctcharaeter being devel oped, so as to bo properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of tlio sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear tills in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have lie come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under soma other treatment, 1 will describe as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ iiules” and “ Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Halts important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should bo given in throe or four times its own quantity of water, and may he swoetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, (though there should always bo freo ventilation in the sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in ti notice. 3d. It must be coutiuuod wlienovor the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off'; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such bo the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fevor begins to subside, patients must bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exerciso whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, iiuluce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or loss interested, but be left quiet tu nil intents and purposes. sth. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and us 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. dlh. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tho lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed oft', or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a littlo spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast may ho bathed in cold water; cither of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DOSES. For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over X and under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “ “ “2 “ 5 “ l2 to 30 “ “ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 60 “ “ 8 “ 16 half to a teaspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much ns young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, ns much as males. there is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having takeu full doses; but for a little guide, I have giveu the above table, with the remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults iu proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicino will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realised, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that tlie full benefit of tlio medicine may be obtained, and not on account of auy actual necessity of such st rict ob servances. lit lions or Remit lent Fever. Give a teasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two lioors, till Hie fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes tho whole treatment iu all simple cases of (over, with such observances as are set forth iu the “ Utiles.” But should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” 800 Synopsis. If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated o confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first |iortiou ; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, aud the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on liy medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoousful may be given st first with advantage, aud even repeated tu two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been soften'd, thus showing tlio medicine lias takeu effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the aaline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult eases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fevor. Give two tcaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till tho pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea spoouful, to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease, no time should bo 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 lie used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) witli the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to tlio heud. Quinine may he added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these feverß 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, tliero is no practical use in separating them—at loast so far ns liiv treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will lie 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 establish a permanent convalescence. Tbe treatment should bo commenced—which mav immediately fellow any other without detriment—with •toaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be con tinned wosiaaU •r sight honrs till the fever entirely subsides. In bod cases, from three to five grains each of quinine and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu lant (sen auxiliaries; should he added to each dose. l’he bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even though tin* bowels should ho Very loose. Tho patient should ho sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous drinks —such us aro iu common use in such cases. Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected ill bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should lie used during convalescence, in all cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Luug or Winter Fever. Give a teaspuouful of tho “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bone set; or ball’ tlie quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. Tlie 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, tube applied over thu seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola Ad Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, tlie treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Ucineniber uuvor wait to learn the ‘'name,’’ whether it is one or tlie other, or neither, as they ail commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern tlie fever ami there will be no trouble; there will be but little, eruption even iu small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idou, and doubtless will be regarded witli 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 pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, hnta.l that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. M atson, previously quoted, 110 says, page 87-1: “ You may abate tlio force of tlio eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, tlie number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission thut it may be done. X nave not only proven it mag be., but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. Soo the account appended. (live a teaspoouful or more, according to tlie urgency of tlie case, witli a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tho fever sitb aides—though one or two doses is genera;ly sufficient; but it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of tho ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on tlio ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue and fitucus were go much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping the Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till ali alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlio throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishmeut iu about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.— Used to wet tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless tho best gargle, in all such Cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever.; This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming mulndy to which the mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to soeni to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tbe Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should bo re peated as long as the fever continues, as iu other cases. Tlie bowels of course should be attended to. In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tbe ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It it; to inform them of the happy effect of tho Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing aud soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring, licstlessuoss, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use ; in short, it is one of the most convenient ami effectual remedies for many of tho ills of females, if not tho most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tho whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of tho nervous as woll as tho circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will south and quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its uso in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tho treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition called fevor, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may be or ought to be called, it should be giveu wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all orgauic 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, and these sohuld be given while giving tlie “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the ’, Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, I cull all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels aro costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlio first dose, or soon after, aud should it fail to operate in 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 coudition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wot in cold water, to tho part; if violent pain in the 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, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, spongo or batho the whole surface 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 the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, givo tonics aud stimulauts, particularly iu low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient has become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally givo somo gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tho stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” aud 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 as directed, aud success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have scon, and then you will bo astonished at the 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. 1 have found no such necessity when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, I will name a lew of tho different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz:— Cal hartica. —Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autlbilious, 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 tho articles depended on by die different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tlio “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tho third, podopnyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice ami be suc cessful. Toutca.—Articles that givo tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bono set or thorotigliwort js one of the best used in fevers. Ass rlngent s.—Such as check tho action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. Sttinlilouts.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlio best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the 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 iu tho materia medico. 1 shall not tux the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Pncketship Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot bo classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz We took passage on the packetsliip Duchess d'Orlcans, Oapt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au gust. 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among tlie emigrants, They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W* Seat, with anew remedy ofliis own, which he calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have eutire control over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing in a very short time. Duriug the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days, there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever, Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by l)r. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before hoard or lead of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness aud certainty, or so littlo troulilu to the nurse.

Dear Sir—Tiro public generally are fully aware of ilio 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.

I refer to Woodman's Cherry Kxpectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have used with more success than any of the usual prescrip tions used by Physicians. J. M. Maitland, M. D.

I would he pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot tles by the bearer. Respectfully, W. M. Mason, M. D. This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from the universal success which has attended its use. For coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints, this medicine, from its-peculiar properties us a dissolve ut and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat, will probably be preferred to any other offered to’ the public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
