.JKGA.TIVE EXJ2CTRIO FLUID,
Prepared ty N. W. Seat, M. D.
Reason* why it should be used instead of any other treat
uiont in ail Febrile affections :
Ut.Eoonomy of Time. —As only oiuirstcttilh
t Hie ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
id.>-Kconomy of Money.— As It emits but uue
dollar.
3rd. — Economy of Keeling.— As it saves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and tho pain of
long contlnoiuerit; but little of the fluid being necessary,
a od that pleasant in its effects.
4th. — Economy of Thought. —As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, re-quieting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
.Ith.—Economy of Health.—As tho system
is not reduced, aud consequently racked; nor Js the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
Olh. — Economy of Life.— As the cure Is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, ail danger of a fatal
termination.’
Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the lirst attack, but will
apply witli equal furce to cases which have been subject
ion) or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to the nature of the casu at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual aud perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
Hie attack, persons cun scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y
wsc * not attacked with fever, and If so, “it was trilling
-a little cold, which gave alurm—it could have been
i.oitiing of consequence—lt would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
mit unlike tha übovg follow the cure of a common ease
as naturally us men think ut all; and it Is not until
•'••• individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully
. eel ize tile truth; and eveu then he may conclude them
all very trilling cases, which would hava readily yielded
In any simple medicine, yet persons, though they huve
lawn thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
c*|set that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local causo ho great us to require particular
attention, or though succossiul in reducing tho fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes
i.ll', as the exciting cause mu.y still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in sum cases that I have given
anil frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General*
Du this subject l wish to be fully understood. liy the
icriu “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptivu fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development aud exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in tliu circulatory aud
nervous systems—inducing inure or less unnatural fre
quency ill the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in (lie opinion 1
HdriLUue, 1 quote from the cilobrnfeii Prof. T. Watson,
oi King's College, London, whose work on the •• I'rinei
nles and Practice Os Physic” is a text book iu many of
~ur medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
‘in page 834, besays:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the professiou, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Drain Fever,
llilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Gastro-Eutoric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the cll'oct upon tho
mind of ull this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encourages a dis|Hisition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for 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, eveu tho most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to tho same cause.”
The above is n great fact, one worthy of remembrance
aud l would imprest on your minds the fully of hunting
up or troubling yoursoll about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
mill be. well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, boas to be proporly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but ou experience at the bed
side of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Dear this in mind,
end treat ut once without regard to mime, aud rest
assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers, lint as cases may have be
come developed before the Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to ho pursued iu
all of tlie most prominent fevers, though the “ llulos”
and “ Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upou the sick.
Hales important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Klr.ctric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given in throe or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must ho free from all currents of uir,
(though there should always l>e free ventilation iu the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
tlueuce.
3d. It must he coutiuuod whenever tlie fever subsides,
or is evidently pussing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be tlie case under any
circumstances.
4th. When tlie fever begins to subside, patients must
he left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not lie questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or tako any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce, them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation he allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or loss interested, but be left
quiet to all intents aud purposes.
sth. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires aud 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.
fitll. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while iu tlie lying posture, so us to occasion a
restlessness after tlie fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wino, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stiuiulaut; or the face and
breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OK DOSES.
For children of one year or uuder, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and uuder 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 6 “ “12 to 30
“ “ 5 lO “ 2O to 50 “
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do uot
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, ns much as males.
There is uo particular care necessary iu giving it to
children —thoso of tou years of age frequently having
takeu full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given Die
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
lly observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable iu all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, tliat
tlie full liuuellt of tlie medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Hiltons or Remittent Fever.
Uive a toasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) ouce In
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
“ Rules.” Dut should there be prominent local symp
toms. or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at ouce, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
Bee 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 uot particularly susceptible
to tho influence of medicine —not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may begiveu at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—tho pulse—lias not been softened,
thus showing the medicine lias taken efi'oet.
bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, tho saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, iu these difficult cases, will afford relief aud aid
the modiolus much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as tlie fever subsidei. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate iu tills disease,
uo time should lie lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with tho “ Fluid” aud repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also Ik
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with tlie hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to tlie
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. Bee Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship amt 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 geueral great depression, there is
no practical use iu separating them—at least so far as
my treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
hilly developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tlie common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
cesivalesccnce.
The treatment should be commenced—whieh may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
ateespoonrol of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
become* fuller or larger In volume, tbeu to be continued
no# in six or eight hours till P>e (fever entirely subsides.
Iu bad cases, from three to live gratae oath ol gainin''.
and capsicum I Oayen no pepper; or Home tome and st.um
laut (see auxiliaries)niiouid he adiiod to cacll dose. The
bowels should bo kept gcutly open, and i.mall portions
of some hepatic should be giveu occasionally, even
though tlie bowels should bo loose. ‘lbe patient
should lie sustained by nourishing aud iiuioilagenous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface ns di
rected in bilious fever, will bo found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during couvalesceuue, in all cases
whicli have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid l'licuiueuiu, Luag
or Winter Fever.
(iive a teaspoonful of tlie “Fluid” every two hums,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bum-set; or
half tho quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
tlieu, at longer intervals, say onto iu six or eight hours.
Thu bouesot tea should bo giveu warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or tlie patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mu,-.turd plaster, or something of
tho kind, to be applied over the scat 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 must prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common levers. Remember
never wait to learn tho “name,” whether it is one or tfce
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no
trouble; there will be but little erupturn even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make tlie assertion, that small pox, il treated us
1 direct, will be cut short; attended witii hut little erup
tion; littlo or no pitting, and that there is mi necessity of
its running its urdiuary course. Du this 1 will stake
nut only my reputation, imt ad that 1 hold most dear;
besides, ou ibis subject, 1 have good authority; that ol
l’rof. Watson, previously quoted. Ho says, page hit;
“ Von may abate tho force of the eruptive lover, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie number oj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tliat it may
be dono. 1 nave not only proven it maybe, but has
been dono iu numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. Bee tlie account appended. -
(live a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of suits or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever Sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should bo giveu and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When tho throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may bo used, and the
surface bathed, ns t bought advisable.
in one case, on the ship Duchessd’Orleans, tlie tongue
uiid faucus were so much swollen tliat tlie patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when ii was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till
ull alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tile Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or CDiiillicd Fever.
Tiiis heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to tho
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need ho entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long us tlie l'-ver continues, ns in oilier eases.
The bowels ol course should be attended to.
iu connection with this subject, J cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, whicli, if regarded by
tlie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of tho happy effect of the Fluid iu
many of tlieir trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
toothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to bo appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at .once 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 and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
tlie most so of any metUClne known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing ail excitability
aud iritability of tlie nervous as well a-s the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tlie system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie 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 fever, or subdue and
control it under ull circumstances, without regard to tho
nunui it may bo or ought to be 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 cure.
When such indications occur iuany case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld be giveu 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 tho fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) witli the lirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fuil to operate in due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
witli diarrhoea, give something known to he 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 hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if
violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ico water,
if convenient, or somo cooling application, and batlio
tho feet iu hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry uml hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline wash,” viuegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics aud stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever er when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlie patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea uml vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach
to doauy good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give tlie “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“Fluid” at tlie same time ns directed, and success will
crowu your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at tho case
witli whicli you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
I’artios may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, 4c., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found uo such necessity
when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of tho different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz :
Cal hart tea.—Articles tliat purge or operate on the
bowels, sueli us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, nntibilious, 4c.; anything
knowu to be good for such purposes.
Hrpattcs.— Anything known to act on tlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools’
for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And ouo may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—tlio fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each limy take liis choice and Ik suc
cessful.
Toulcs.— Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. ‘ Done
set or thorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers
Astringents.— Buch as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum aud other preparations of opium arc
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tho effect.
Stimulants. —Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more
or loss stimulating. These are the Only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but tlie Negative Electric Fluid is a het'er “ dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia medica.
I shall not tax thq 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
Pnckctahip Duchess D’Orleans.
which canuot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, tlie undersigned, certify to the following viz—
Wo took passage on the paeketship Duchess d’Orleans,
Capt lluttou, then lying in the port of Havre France
and hound for New York. She sailed on the Uth of Am
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician In charge,Dr. N. W. Seat with
anew remedy ofliis own. whicli he culls Negative’ Flcc
tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over tlie disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thlrtv-nlue days,
there were about eighty cases or small pox, some fever
Ac., and uot a single death. All were cured w itli unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, wo are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on tlie oo
cation, |missesses inestimable virtues. We never before
beard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much case, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crow ded ship, a long passage,
smallpox and fever on board, aud not a death! The’
fact speaks for itself.

Dear Fir —Tho public generally are fully aware of tlio
thousands of remedies fur Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Snreaparillas, Pills, Plasters. Liniments, 4c., tliat are
daily brought to tlieir notice through tlie 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 usfe one that contains articles of
Heal Use in Fulmonary Disease.'. Imu conscious that in
so doing, i am acting most unprofi s.-ii molly, and deroga
torily to tlie interests of Medical Science aud the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I reler to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, whicli is a scientific remedy that I have
used with more success tliau any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

O. 0. Woodman— Dear Bit ; 1 have giveu your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article I over met with. I
would lie pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by tlie bearer. Respectfully,

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, Holds, and iu fact, any pulmonary complaints,
tiiis medicine, from its peculiar properties us a dissolvent
and Its soothing power to ull irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As au appetizer, or dy-peptic remedy, it will
also lie fonud excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping tlie digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember thut this is the oulj’ l ough Medicine tliat
has stood tlie test of the modiohi fraternity. It is sanc
