NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLU 133,
Prepared l*jr K. W. Seat, M. I>.
reasons why it should be used instead of any other treat* 1
luunt in all febrile affection*:
UtotEconamy of flute.—A* only ene-ssiw/U/i
“l (he ordinary time i* required to effect a cure.
:4d.—Economy of Money.—A* it coata but one
.foliar.
3rd. — Economy of Feeling.-- A* it saves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; tlio annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
modioiue, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
lung confinement; hut little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
Ith. — Economy of Thought. —As when
kuowu, it will remove all dread and auxloty at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
sth. — Economy of Health. —As the system
is not reducod, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
6 th.—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
suOtoient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
Tile above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, bnt will
apply with oqual force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
*.o the nature of tiie case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
uent relief, iu all ordinary cases, when used soon after
tiie attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—lt would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had noefl'oet.’’ The general
Impression on the subject of fever Is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above fill low the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; Slid it is not until
•he individual has witnessed many easestliat he cun fully
.ealize the truth; and even then lie may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will case* occur where there is some
organic or local cause so grout as to require particular
attention, or though success: ul iu reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passes
oil', as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in suen cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “sy nopals.”
Remarks on Fevers In General*
On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Ity the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by u groat
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet ull are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that oi undue excitement iu tho circulatory and
nervous systems-*-induciug more or less unnatural fre
quency iu the pulse, sense ol heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the cclebrufed l’rof. T. Watson,
of Icing's College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ules and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently stanilurdautharily.
On page 834, he says:—“Wo hear continually, both in
sud out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fevor,
Bilious Kever, Putrid Kever, law Kever, Nervous Fever,
AC. And systematic, writers are to tho full as particular:
Mucous Kever, Ataxic, Adynamic, (Jaslro-Knterie, aud
sp forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bail aud hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribo for a disease according to its name.. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They run iuseusibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, aud are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
aud I would impress on your minds the folly of buuting
up or troubling yourself about a “ name,” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, aud you
will be well instead of auy distiuctcharacter beiug devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is uo hypothesis hosed on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but ou experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this iu mind,
aud treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soou he freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come devebqied before the “ Fluid” is given, either hy
neglect, or under some other treatmeut, 1 will describe
ns briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued iu
ull of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Itules”
aud “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.
Hules important to lie observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should he given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may lie sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. l’atients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
Cil. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such lie the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
uot bu questioned us 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, iiutuce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all inteulsaud purposes.
6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, muciluginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
Uth. Should patients experience any oppression or
tiuutness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness utter the fever hue passed oIT, 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 and
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
tor children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 3 years, “ 6to 16 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ l2 to 30
“ “ i
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoouful.
All persons over Alteon considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoouful is a common dose. Old persons do uot
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
uor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There Is no part icular care necesaury in giving it to
children—those of ten years of ago frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
i hildreu require more than adults in pro|iortion.
lly observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
(he full bene At of the medicine may lie obtained, and
uot on account of any actual necessity of such strict oh
sorvances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
Uive a teasponful of “ Fluid - ’ (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with snch observances as are set forth iu the
llules.” But should there lie prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
If iu auy case the bowels are particularly constipated
or ooutined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
Arst portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever Is very high, pulso running HO or
upwards, and the patient Is not particularly susceptible
to the induence of inedieino—uot easily operated on by
medicine generally—a doable dose, or two teaspoouaful
may be given at Arst with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
■ bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the sulino wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these ditHcult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two teaspoousful aud repeat every two hours till
the puls* becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoouful, to be discontinued ns the fever subsides. As
the bowels are generally condned, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
iio time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with tho “ 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 Aannel; also, cold
applications to tho head. Quinine may he added to the
” Fluid” If thought advisable. Bee Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grails, the pulse
email and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
uo practical use iu separating them—at least so far as
tuy treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparativoly little, as they frequently ruu weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a ft>w days
will be necsssary at longeet to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
• tsaspoonfhl of •’ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be eon tinned
i eee lustier eight hours till tbe fever entirely subsides.
In had cases, t'rnui three to live grains ouch of quinine.
aud capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or uwo tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries; should lie added to eai.ii dose. The
bowels should be kept geutly open, and small portions
of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing aud mucilugenous
drinks—such as are iu common use iu such cases.—
Where the 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.
Given teaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoctiou of boneset; or
half the quantity may be 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 patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola aiul Scarla
tina; 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, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Hemuuibor
never Wait to learn the “name,’’ whether it is one or tlio
other, or neither, as they all commence with J'e.nr, but
treat it at once; govern the fever aud there will be no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even iu small
pox. This, to must minds, is anew idea, and doubliess
will bo regarded w ith ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will be cut short; attended with hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there Is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, but a;l that I hold most dear;
besides, ou this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie 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.” Here is tiie admission that it may
be done. 1 nave not only proven it nuig be, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
Give a teaspoonl'ul or more, according to tho urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours il necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is utfccted,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tonguo
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
wlieu il was given In teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tho throat frequently; it is doubtless the
best gargle iu all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever..
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to boos little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonl'ul, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re
peated as long as the fever continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded t.y
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. 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 the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must be tried to, be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at ouce 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 the most convenient aud
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tho whole system, removing all excitability
aud iritability of the nervous us well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will south and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use iu so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, aud condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue aud
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho
name it may be or ought to he called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannut bo 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 auy case, they should
bo appropriate means, and those soliuld be given while
giving the “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 be lost. As the *, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatmeut.
If the bowels are costive, give a catiiartic (see auxili
aries) witli tho first dose, or soon after, aud should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to ho good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“ Fluid” will soou relieve that condition ; if severe local
paiu or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; ii’
violent puin iu the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, aud bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at au agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar aud wuter or spirits and
water, either w ill afford great relief and aid tho medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if tiie patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iu 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 do any good; for 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 cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tiie
“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 no such necessity
when using the Fluid, ami to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics.—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 be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on tho liver
particularly, jiortal circulation aud secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools’
for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with tho “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllln—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, llune
sec or thorougliwort is one of the lp-st used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum aud other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astrituront*
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 iu treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “ dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“ sedative” than known in tho materia medico.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to oue instance of success, that on the
Packetship Ductless D'Orlcnns.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates •
We, the undersigned, certify to tho following viz—
We took passage on the packetship Duchess d'Orleuns
Capt llutton, then lying in tho port of Havre. France
sml lam nd for Now York. Bhe sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, ninstlv
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were ill
treated by the physician in charge. Dr. N. W. Seat with
anew remedy of his own, which Tio calls Negative ’ Klee
tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curlne
in a very short time. “
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine .lavs,
there were about eighty eases of small pox, some fever
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during sold passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Feat on tho oc
casion, possesses Inestimable virtues. Wo never before
heard or read of fobrile 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.

HAVE received the appointment from the proprietor

Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant,
the medicine that has created such an excitement at the
North among the Pliysieians, and lias been pronounced
by* all who have used it as being tar superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesnmiue,
tho pure decoction of Wild Cherry Dark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it fur better than any
other Cough Medicine in this country.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
N'tw Orleans. April ft, 1855.
Dear Sir —The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased bungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*. Pills, Plasters. Liniments, See., 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, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use ono that contains articles of
Heal Use iu Fuhuonary Diseases. I uni conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most unprofession ally’, and doroga
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 J 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 w i ll pleased with its ef
fects ; better than any other article I ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles hy the bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason, 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 complaints,
this mediciue, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of tlio throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public, As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, 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 medicai fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading
Pliyslciuus of New Y’ork city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to bo belter than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant
tfciyl’riee—One Dollar a Bottle.
