NEGATIVE electric fluid,
Prepared liy N. W. Seat, 31. U.
Reason* why it should bo used instead of any other trout
ment In all Febrile affections:
I*l.--Economy of Time.—A* only one-seventh
of the ordinary time ia required to effect a cure.
Ad.—Economy of Money.—A* it costa but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feeling.—As it saves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; tho annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeuble operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of the fluid being nocessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
Uh.—Bconomy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
5 tlx. —Economy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
ftlh.—Economy of Life.—As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons in all condi
tions of lifo.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to tho nature of tho case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, ill all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they hail
Imon really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
wars not attacked with fover, and if so, “it was trilling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of cousequeuco—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had nocffect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
’ ‘ni individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully
.calfso the truth; and even then he muy conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been *lbus successful in perhaps Hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will eases occur where, there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success.ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes
off, as tne exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in sncii cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have called a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General*
On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood, liy the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
aud other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, ami iu quite dissimilar constitutions
aild 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
istics—that ot undue excitement in tliu circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing inure or less unnatural fre
quency in tho pulse, sense ol’ heat, dryness id’ the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alouo in the opinion X
advance, I quote from tho colebrafed Prof. T. Watson,
us King's College, London, whose work on the “ i’riuci
utes aud Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
•mr medical colleges, and consequently standardauthorily.
Ou page 831, lie says:—'“We hear continually, both in
uml out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fover, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Kiiteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I uut persuaded tlmt the effect upon the
utiuil of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction betwoon continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
Tho above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up ur troubling yoursolf about a “ name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you
mill be well instead of any distiuctcharacter being devel
oped, so us 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 tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands us cases
(by myself and othors) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
aud treat at once without regard to name., and rest
assured you will goon be freed from ull dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before tbo “ Fluid” is given, either by
uogloet, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the propor course to be pursued in
all of tlio most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and Y Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
liules important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given iu three or four timos its own
quantity of wutor, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though tlioro should always be free ventilation in tiie
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must bo continued whenover tho fever subsides,
or is ovidontly passing off'; to bo resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such bo the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
uut be questioned as to tlieir wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or tako any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of ull oxtra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; uor
should auy conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or loss interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
3th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it os
plentifully, and as lung as the pationt desires and uo
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or pationts desire.
fith. Should putieuts experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion
restlessness afler tho fever has 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 tho face and
breast maybe 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, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ 12 to 30 “
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ 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 not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
uor females, us a general rule, as much as males.
There is uo particular care necessary iu giving it to
children —those of ton years of ago frequently having
taken full doses ; hut for a little guide, 1 have given tho
above table, with the remark that, ns a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing tho above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of tho most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Unions or Remittent Fever.
(live a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till tlio fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in nil simple cases of
fever, with such observances os are set forth in the
“ Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known loesl existing onuses, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving tho “Fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
If in any ease the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give n 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 iB 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 eveu repeated
tu two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing tho medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the mediriue much iu taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teaspoousful aud repeat every two hours till
the puls* becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to bo discontinued as tlio fever subside*. As
tiie bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate iu till* disease,
uo time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operate*; enemas (injection*) may also lio
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the bands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quiniue may be milled to the
“ Fluid” If thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship ami 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 general 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 roinmou treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
oimvalescenee.
The treatment should lie commenced—which may
t A mediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” avery two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger In volume, then to be continued
no* In dx or eight hour* till fever entirely subsidee.
In bud cases, from three to five grains each of >/at nine.
ami capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some touie anil stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. ] lie
bowels should be kept gently u]kjii, aud small portions
of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should he very loose. Ihe patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
drinks—such as are iu common use in suen cases.
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious lever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, hung
or Winter Fever.
Given teaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glussful of a strong decoction of boneset; or
half the quantity may bo given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
Tho boneset tea should he given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayod, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
tho kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently.open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tinn; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, tlio treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,'’ whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but
treat, it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will lie but little, eruption even iu small
p,ix. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that smalt pox, if treated as
1 direct, will be cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; littlo or no pitting, and that there is no necessity ol
Its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but a 1 tlmt I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of
l’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“ You may abate tbo force of tbe eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.’’ Here is the admission tlmt it may
be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has
been dune in numerous cases that occurred ou board
ship. Bee the account appended.
(live a teaspoonful or more, according to tho urgency
of tho case, witli u dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the lever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of tho ordinary gargles may bo used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tho ship lfuchessd’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or siieak. and he was cured by dropping tho
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
till alarming symptoms disappeared. Tbe swelling of
tlio throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in uhout twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such coses.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem
to be of little consequence. A single doso or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time, kt should be re
peated us long as the fover continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making u few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering, it
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. Jn 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 at once by a com
mon doso aud retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is oue of the most convenient and
effectuui remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the must so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritubility of tho nervous as well as tire circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one cun sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the 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 the
name it may bo or ought to be 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 iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while
giving tho “ Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, us they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost As tho Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tho first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“ F'luid” will soou 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 iu cold water, to the 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 tho fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits aDd
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 and stimulants, 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 the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I'geuere.lly 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” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat ull tho prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstance*, giving the
“ Fluid” at the sumo 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 case
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 such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat kart let*.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything
known to bo goodforsuch purposes.
Ilepattcs.—Anything known to act on the 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 harks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.— Such ns check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opiufn are
used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the 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
list'd, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bettor “ dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia medico.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly ou tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to oue instance of success, that on the
PackctsUip Duchess D'Orleans.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz—
We took passage on the packet ship Duchess d’Orleaus,
Capt llutton. then lying in the port of Havre, France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9tli of Au
gust, 1851, w ith over a hundred souls ou board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tho small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge. Dr. X. W. Beat, with
anew remedy of his own, which lie 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 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 Dr. Seat on the oc
casion. posses Les inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile aft'i>ctioiis being controlled w ith
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a deathl The
fact speaks for itself.
