NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared l>y K. W.'Seat, M. 1).
l-eason* why it should l>e used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affection*:
ish—lilconniuy of Time.—As only one-seventh
I !tie ordinary time is required to effect u cure.
£d.— Economy of Money. —As it cost* hut oue
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feeling.--As it saves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent troat
. moot; the aunoyuuce of taking nauseating dose* of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of thotluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
Ith.—Economy of Thought.—A* when
known, it will remove, all dread aud anxiety ut present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
sth.-Econiimy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, aud consequently racked; uor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
til ls.—Economy of Life.—As the cure isoffected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might bo added, hut these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons iu all condi
tions of life. *
Tito above reason* are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to case* which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to Ihe nature of the case ut the lime it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon ufter
the attack, person* can scarcely realize tiiat they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
wore not attacked with fever, audit so, “it was trifling
a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
urn.iiiug of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had uneffect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, thut thoughts
not unlike tint above follow the cure of a common case
naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
’ in individual inis witnessed many cases that lie can fully
.eulizu the truth; aud even then he may conclude them
ail very trilling cases, which would have reudily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
bet n thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expert that there wilt eases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or tlioi%h success ill 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 in such cases Unit 1 have given
and frequently refer to wluit I have called a “ synopsis.”
Ur marks on Fevers In General’
On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Hy the
lerni “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
vrhicli the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and iu quite dissimilar constitutions
and liabiis, tlu-y of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yni all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—thut ol undue excitement ill tlio circulatory and
nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of boat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone iu the opinion I
advance, I quote from the celebrafed I’rof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ides aud Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
.till- medical col legos, and consequently standardauthvrity.
On page Slit, lie 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, l’utrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. Ami systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Knteric, mid
no forth. Now, admitting that, lever allows itself under
various forms, I uni persuaded tlmt the effect upon the
mind nf all this sub-division, is bad und hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalont, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevors,
that can be relieil on. They rnu insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and ure often
traceable to thesame cause.”
The above is a great fact, ono worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “nano;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, aud you
will. be well instead of any distinctcharaoter being devel
oped, So as to lie properly named by the most scientific.
Tills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but. on experience at tho bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others; under a great variety of cir
eumstanoes, seasons and climates. Bear this iu mind,
and treat at once without regard to inline, 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 tho “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the proper courso to lie pursued in
ell of the most prominent levers, though the “ llules”
mil “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for nil those
aretisUimed to attendance upon the sick.
Hitles important lobe observed in all cases in using the
Negative Khxtric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given iu three or four times its own
qilantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure,
‘2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must bo continued whenever tho fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off’; to bo resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the cuse under any
i iii umstnncos.
4lli. When tho fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not be questioned as to their 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 be allowed iu their hearing, iu
which they may fool moro or loss interested, but bo left
quiet to all intouts and purposes.
Mil. Fluids should lie allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires anil 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 patieuts desire.
titli. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while iu the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tho lever 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 aud
breast may tie 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, “ 6to 16 “
“ “ 2 “ 5
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ 2O to 60 “
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a tcaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, tor whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or thoso in the prime of life;
urn- females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There Is 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 the remark that, us a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, tho medicine will
bo found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of tho most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object ill being thus particular is, that
tho full beuefft of the medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
ltillous or HemUtcnt Fever,
(live a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) onco in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing oft’; this
constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of
lover, with such observances as are set forth in tho
“ Bides.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
aUoutlod to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.”
800 Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not lieen sq/'tened,
thus showing the medicine Ims taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, iu those difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
tlive two teaspoouaful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full aud soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subsides. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease,
uo time should he lost to get them open, give seme active
cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may be 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. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. Bee Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Slxip and 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 aud wiry, with a geueral great depression, there is
no practical use In separating them—at least so far as
my 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 but a few days
will be uocossary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescalfce.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
•oe In alx or eight hours till tFe fever entirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to live grains each of quinine.
and (XLpsuMnt (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries; should be added to eacb doe. The
bowels should he kept gently open, and small (tortious
ol’ some hepmlic should le given occasionally, even
though the bowels should lie very loose. The patient
should lie sustained by nourishing aud muciiugeuous
drinks—sucli us are ill common use iu such cases.—
Where tho skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a tcaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bouesel; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, ut longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The boueset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or souietbing of
the kind, to bo applied over the seat of puiu; 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 lever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers, item ember
never wait to learn the “ /raise,” whether it is ono or tho
other, or neither, as they all commence with Jeter, but
treat it ut once; govern the fever und there will be no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even iu small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, aud doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many, i nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will be Cut short ; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and tiiat there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On tins f will stake
not only my reputation, but a.l that I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
i’rof. VVatsou, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“ You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Hero is the admission tlmt it may
be done. J nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous cuscs that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
(Jive u teuspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera,ly sufficient;
but it should bo given aud repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When tlie throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gurgles may bo used, and tho
surface bathed, us thought advisuble.
In one cuse, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
nut swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till liocould swallow,
when it was given iu tcaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tho Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gurgle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to tlie
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
tcaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire aud per
manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as tlie
Fluid will arrest it ill a short time. It should bo re
peated as long as tlie favor continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of courso should be attended to.
In connection witli this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tlie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of tho liappy effect of tlie Fluid ill
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved ut once by a com
mon dose and retiring, ltestlessuess, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is oue of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tlie most so ofauy medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
aud iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much us possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may boor ought to lie 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 iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When sucli indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection witli it, when
occasion requires, as they will then moro readily act,
producing more general effect, besides uo unnecessary
time will then lie lost. As the‘,Fluid” alono will sub
due tlie fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, aud should it
fail to operate in duo 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 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 tlie head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or souio cooling application, and bathe
tlie feet in hot water; if the lever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge “or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be uo trou
ble ; if the patient inis been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to doany goad; tor this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under auy other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be 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 uo sucli necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of tlie different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz;—
Cathartics.—Articles tiiat purge or operate on the
bowels, suuii as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibiliuus, Ac.; anything
known to l>e good for such purposes.
Hepatics.—Anything known to act on tho liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while tho system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and bo suc
cessful.
Tonics.— Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots aiul bitter herbs. Bone
sec or tliorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.— Buch as check the action of tlie
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raiso or excite tlie
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is ono of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all mole
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 “tliii
phoretic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“ sedative” than known in tho materia medica.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of u trial, and will
only refer to oue iustance of success, that on the
Packctslxip Duchess D’Orleaus.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following viz—
We took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orleans
Copt llutton. then lying in tho port of Havre, France’
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls ou board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tlie small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge. Dr. N. W.’ Beat, witli
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, 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 tlie voyage, which lasted thirty-nluo 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 Dr. Seat ou the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much easo, promptness and certainty, or co little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox und fever on board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itkelf.

HAVE received tlie appointment from the proprietor
for the sole agency of
Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant,
the medicine that has created such an excitement at the
North among tho I’hysieians, and has been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesamine,
tlie pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable ingredients that reuiler it far better than any
other Cough Medicine in this country.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Orleans. April !), 1855.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillas, l’ills, 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 the public, cr at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Ileal Use iu I‘ulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most unprofessionally,and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mediciue. 1 refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1855.
0. 0. Woodman —Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article l ever met with. I
would be 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 as a dissolvent
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 w ill
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medieine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved of, and recommended by (lie loading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
