fEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prpar*ii lif N. W. .Seat, JU. D.
ii canons why it should ho used instead of #ny other treat
ment in all Febrile affection*:
li.t.—Ecuuomy of Time.—Asouly one-seventh
.? the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
■id.--Economy of Money.—A* it coat* but one
dollar.
3rd. — Economy of Feeling,-- A* it save* the
suffering of a long siokness aud the consequent trout
uient; tlie annoyance of takiug nauseating doHea 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. — Economy 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.
ffth. — Economy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor Is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
6th. — Economy of Istfe. —As the cure is effected
Indore and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
otlifr reasons might be added, but those are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons In all condi
tions of life.
The alxive reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attuck, but will
apply witii equal force to cases which have been subject
si to or have become reduced, corresponding of courHo
*.o tiie nature of tlio case at the time it i* first adminis
tered.
As tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely reali/.e tiiat they had
Been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
wcr.i not, attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
— -a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would lioSb passed oil with
miL anything—that medicine hail noeffect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is sutli, that thoughts
not unlike the above tbilow the cure of a common case
a naturally as men tliiuk at all; and it is not until
‘ he individual lias witnessed many cases that lie can fully
. calise the truth; and even then he may conclude them,
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
10 any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
I .cell lints successful in peritaps hundreds of cases, must
that there will cases occur win-re there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though sucoesstul iu reducing tho fever,
it will again rise as tin* influence of the “Fluid’’ passes
off. as tint ut citing cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment iu sum ruses that 1 have given
and frequently refer to whut 1 have called a “ synopsis.’’
Remark* on Fevers In General*
On tiiis subject 1 wish to be fully understood, lly the
term “levers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which tho 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 habits, they of course differ considerably iu their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by tho same general character
istics—that ul undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency 111 till) pulse, sense of beat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that l am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the colebrafod Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s Oilloge, London, whose work on the “ Princi
oles and Practice of Physic.” is a text book in mauy of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthmity.
iin page 834, ho says:—“Wu hear continually, both in
and out of the profossiou, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
llilious Fever, Putrid Fever, bow Favor, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gnstro-Enteric, aud
so forth. New, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tiio
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful, ft
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its nanw. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevors,
that can be ndied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
Tim above is a great fact, ono worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name “ if you have
fever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you
will he well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so ua to lie 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 hod
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of eases
(by myself and others) 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 soon be freed from ull dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as eases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
ueglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
ns briefly as iiossiblo tile proper course to be pursued in
all of tlio most prominent fevers, though the “ Hulex”
and “ Synopsis” will tie amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.
Hides important to he observed in all cases in using the
Negative Klectric fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in tho
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its iu
-11 uence.
3d. It must he continued whenever tlio fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the cake under any
circumstances.
4th. When tlie fever begins to subside, patients must
he left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, road or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
uoous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
diould any conversation he allowed in their hearing, iu
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiol to all inteutsuud purposes.
utli. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, aud as 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.
dill. Should patients experience any oppression or
fiiutliens while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness ufler the lever has passed off, or enough to
oeeasion them to speak of it, they should Imvo a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witii 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 16 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30 “
“ “ A “ 10 “ “ 20 to f>o “
“ 8 “ 15 half to a teuspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a l caxpoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require ns much as young, or those iu the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much us males.
There is uo particular care necessary iu giving it to
children—those of teu years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guido, I have given tlio
above table, with tho remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing tlio abovo directions, the mediciue will
be fuuuil agreeable in all of its effects, tlio expectations
ol’ tlie most sanguine realised, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
tho full benefit of the medicine may ho obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
Give a teespouful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till tho fevor is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in till simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in the
Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, tliov should lie
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If iu any case the bowel* are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must be opened or tlie fever may rise
again.
Where the finer is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the pationl is not particularly susceptible
to tho influence of medicine —not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspooiisful
may bo given at first with advautage, and even repeated
iu two boon—if it —the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing tho medicine htia taken effect,
Batliiug tlie 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 medicine much iu tuking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Dive two teaspooiisful and repeat every two hours till
tho pulse bocomes more full and soft, thou only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued us the fever subside*. As
tho bowels are generally routined, aud it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in till* disease,
no lime should bo lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the •• Fluid” anil repeat as may bo neces
sary till It operates; enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to tile extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to tlie head. Quinine may lie added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
nminly In degree, being ull of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great dopreasion, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
mv treatment i* concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tlio common treatment, while with this but n flw days
will be neoMsary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaxpoonful of ’lFluid” every two hours, till the pulse
become* fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
not la lU n eight hoars Ull t#*o fever entirely snbnides.
In bad dues, from three to five groin* each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne jiepper; or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. The
bowels should he kept gently open, aud small portions
of some he.pahc should be given occasionally, even
though tlie bowels should bo very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilageuoiio
drinks —such us are iu 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 shotaki be used (luring convalescence, iu all eases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(live ft teuspoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or
half the quantity may Id) given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the pstient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ul’
the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, llulieola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As ull of these diseases are attended w itii fever, which
in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, tlie treatment
differs hue little mini that iff common fevers, Kcmeuiber
never Wait to learn the “ name whether it is one or tlie
other, or neither, as they all commence viil/i fewer, bui .
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, aud doubtless
will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make tlie assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will be cut short; attended with hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, unil that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course, un this f will stako
not only my reputation, Un ad that 1 hold most deer;
besides, on this subject, i have good authority; that of
l’rof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874:
“ You may abate tlie force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Ilere is tlio admission that it may
be done, i nave not only proven it muy be, but has
been done; in numerous cases that occurred eu board
ship. See tlio accouut appended.
(live a teaspoon!)if or more, according to the urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub
sidos—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should he given mid repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. \\ lien the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may bo used, and tlio
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In ono cose, on tho ship Duchess il’Orleans, tho tongue
and fauciis wore so much swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till hocfiuld swallow,
when it was given in teaspoouful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so os to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tiie throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle, in all such cases.
Puerperal or CHUdbed 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
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, us the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as tlie fever continues, as in other cases.
The 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
tlie ladies, will save them iniicli pain uud buffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tlio labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com
mon dose audretiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient aud
effectual remedies lor many of tlie ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of tlie nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet til© 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 ns possible, I give under this head general
directions for ull cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will che age tho condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to be called, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he 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 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 uo unnecessary
time will then he lost. As tho ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the'fever, I call alt else auxiliary treatment.
If tlie bowels lire costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate iu due time, repeut tho 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 tlio head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or sumo cooling application, and bathe
tho feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface witii water at an agreeable temperature;
“tho 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 tho patient ima been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give touics aud stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient Ims become re
duced; if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach
to do any good; lor this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cuth:#tic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
us you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“Fluid” at tlio sumo time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; iudeed. you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at tlio ease
witii which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a lobh to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., 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, I will name a lew of tlie different articled of medi
cine 1 liuve referred to, viz:—
Cat hartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of tlio roots
or barks, aud iuauy pills, autibilious, Ao.; anything
known to be good forsuch purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on tlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of tho articles depended on by tho different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “ Fluid” or while tiie system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tlio third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bono
set or thoroughwort is one of tlie best used in fevers.
A astringent*.—Such as check the action of tlio
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite tho
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best:
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are (lie only classes necessa
ry ill treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dji*
pliorctic,’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “rclaxiuit” and
“sedative” than known in the materia medico.
1 shall not tux the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
ouly refer to one instance of success, that on tlie
Packetellip Out lies* D’Orlenns.
which ennuot be classed among ordiunry rortidentes:
We, tiie undersigned, certify to the following, viz—
We took passage on the packetship Duchess d'Orlcan*
.Capt Hutton, then lying iu tlio port of Havre. France’,
and bound for New York. She sailed ou the fftli of Am
gust, 1851, with over a hundred sou!* on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tho small
pox broke out among tlie emigrants, They were all
treated by tlio physician iu charge,Dr. N. W. g,. a t w ; t |,
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative ’ Elec
tric Fluid, with which ho seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, ami curing
in a very short time.
During Hie voyage, which lasted thirty-nine dais
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., ami not a single death. All were cured with uuu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, wo are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Iff. Scat on the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or road of febrile affections being controlled with
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 death.’ The
fact speaks for itself.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
NeW Orleans. April 9, 1855.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of SarsaparillftS, Pills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
lor publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
wtio are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
It ml Use in Pulmonary Diseases, ram conscious that in
so doing, 1 mu acting most unprofessionally, and deroga
torily to tlie interests of Medical .Science and tlie regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I ruler to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used with more success than any of tlie usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased witii its ef
fects: bettor than any other article I ever met witii. I
would lie pleased to have yon send me half a dozen bot
tles by tlie bearer. Respectfully,
W. 31. 3lason, M. D.
This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complain!-,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and Its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably bo preferred to any other offered to the
public. As ail appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also 110 foundexceilont, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, ami recommended by tho leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than tiny Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant
