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.

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.

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.
