‘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.
