‘NisitiATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared bp N. W. Seat, M. U<
Reason* why it Bhould bo used instead of any other treat
ment in all febrile affection*:
lt.Economy of Time.— A* only on+teventh
es the ordinary time in required to effect a cure.
tdi— Economy or Money.—A* it cota but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feeling.—As it aavea the
suffering of a long sickness and the* consequent treat
ment ; the annoyance of taking nauseating dose* 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.
th.—Economy of Health.— As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fover
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
6th.—Economy of Life.— As the cure iseffected
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
suffloient to satisfy ail classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which baro been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to the nature of the cose at the time it is 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 realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th'-y
wora not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of ceniequeuce—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
uot unlike tlie above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally ns men think at all; and it is not until
the individual hus witnessed many cases that he can fully
realize 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
boon thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
•rganlc or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though successiul in reducing the fever,
It will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in suen cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remark* on Fever* In General*
On this subject I wish to be fully understood. By the
term “fevers,” I compreheud all febrilo affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a groat
variety es causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or typos;
yet all are distinguished by the satno general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systeins-Mnducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of boat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in tlio opinion I
advance, I quote from the celebrafed Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, whose work on tlio “ l’rinci
oles and Tractice of I’hysio” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, und consequently standardaulhorily.
On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of tho profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Atuxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Euterie, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effoct upon the
mind 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 between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to thesamo cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
ami I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “ namt;” if you have
l'ovor, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any distinctcharacter boing devel
oped, so as to be 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 tli© sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to •name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ ltules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for ail those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Rule* important to be observed in all case* in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should bo given iu throe os four times its owu
quantity of water, aud may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always be free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must he continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such he the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fover begins to subside, patients must
bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quioi to all intents and purposes.
sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and os long us the patient desires and no ‘
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm os parties may prefer or patients desire.
6th. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the 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 the face and
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give Immediate relief.
TABLE OF SOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ aver I aud under 2 yoars, “ 6to 15 “
“ 2 “ 6 “ l2 to 30
“ 5 “ 10 “ 2O to 50
“ * “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons ovor fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is g, common dose. Old porsons do not
require as much as youug, or those in the primo of life;
uor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving It to
children —those of ten yoars of ago frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, I have given the
abovo table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
l>e found agrceablo in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astouislied. My object iu being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
not on accouutof any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Illllous or Remittent Fever.
Clive a teaspouful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in ail simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in the
“ Buies.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
Seo Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
•r confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must bo opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever Is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeablo
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief aud aid
the medlciuu much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Uive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pills* becomes more full aud soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued aa the fever subside*. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operato iu thl* disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat as may be neces
sary Mil It operates; enemas (injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quiniue may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
A* these fevers are ail of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
amall and wjry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
ray treatment is conoerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a 1 ittle patience will be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few davs
will be accessary at longest to establish a permanent
•eovaleecence.
The treatment Bhould be commenced—which may
Immediately fellow any other without detriment—with
a teaapoeafel of “ Fluid’’ every two hours, till the pulse
D * Bo "** roller or larger In volume, then to be continued
In (U er eight hours till t*>e fever entirely subside*.
In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
aud capsicum. (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (sec auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept guutly open, aud small portions
of gome hepatic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should he very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilageuous
drinks—such os are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoon fill of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say unco in 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 be applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tinal or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended witii fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the 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, us they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will lie no
trouble; there will ho but little eruption even iu small
pox. This, to most minds, is a now idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will be cut short ; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary courso. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, but all that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
i’rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, aud
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlio admission that it may
he done. I havo not only proven it may be, hut has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See tho account appended.
Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until thefeversub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should he given aud repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, aud the
Burfoce bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
aud faucus were so much swollen that tlio patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoouful (loses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlio throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tli© throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in 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 be of little consequcnco. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, 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 aa the fever continues, us iu other cases.
The bowels of course should lie attended to.
In connection with tliis subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the iiappy effect of the Fluid iu
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 once by a com
mon dose aud 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 mauy of the ills of females, if uot
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well us the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that ono cun sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid coustant repetition, aud condense the treat
ment as much us possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho
name, it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur iu any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” aud 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 the fover, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tlio first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something kuown to be 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 in cold water, to tho part; if
violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if th© fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, Bpohge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
. cine in taking etfoct, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the 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 patieut has become re
duced; if thore is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; far this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic ta cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give tho “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prouiinout symptoms
as y ou would under auy other ciroumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, und success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will bo astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrilo excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know wliat is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians me usually particular
about what is used. I have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to bo fully understood by
all, I will name a lew of tlio different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cat liartics.—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 ou the liver
particularly, portal circulation ami secretions generally.
Any of tli© articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, bluo
mass—the third, podophyllin—tho fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonic*.— Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots aud bitter herbs. Rone
set or thorough wort is ono of the best used in fevers
Astringents.— Such as check the action of tlie
bowels. Laudanum aud other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which havo the effect.
Stimulants. —Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie 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
nsed, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” thun known in the materia medica.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to oue instance of success, that on tlie
Packetslilp Dmchess D’Orleans.
which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates:
We, tho undursignod, certify to tlie following viz—
We took passage on tlie packetohip Duchess d’Orleans •
Capt Button, then lying in tlie port of Havre, France
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9tli of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tlie smail
pox broke out amoug the emigrants, They wore all
treated by the physician in charge,Dr. N. W. Seat with
a uew remedy of his own, which he culls 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. 8
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine davs
there were about eighty cases of small pox. some fever
Ac., and not a tingle death. All were cured with unu’
anal promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that tho medicine used by Dr. Soat ou the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness aud certainty, or so littlo
trouble to the nurse. A crowded eliip, “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
for the sole agency of
Woodman’s Clierry Expectorant,
the medicine that has created such an excitement at the
North among the Physieians, and has been pronounced
by all who have used it as being fur superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jcsnmine,
tlie pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than any
other Cough Medicine in this country.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Orleans, April 9, 1855.
Dear Sir —The public generally are fully aware of ilio
thousands of remediesfor Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sursaparillas, Pills, Plasters. Liniments, Ac., 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 one that contains articles of
Real Use iu I‘idmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing. 1 am acting most unprofessionally.and dcroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and tlie regular
Practitioners of Mediciue. I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used witii more success than any of tlie usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article 1 ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you semi me half a dozen bot
tles by the bearer. Respectfully,
IV. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
tliis medicine, from its peculiar properties ns a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of tho 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 tlie 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, and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or tlie money ref unded. We guaran
