jM-MujA-Ti VE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. W. beat, M. 1 1.
I.eawms why it should be lined instead of any other treat- ;
meat iu all Febrile affections:
I s(.— Kronnmy of Time.— As only one-seventh
.f the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
Ad.— Keonomy of Money. —As it, coats but one
dollar.
3rd. — Economy of Feeling.— As it saves the
sutler!ug of a long sickness anil the consequent treat
ment; tile annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and tho pain of
long coulinoment; but little of tho fluid beiug necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
Ith. — Keonomy 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.
9th. — Keonomy of Health. —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently rucked;, nor is the fever
.subject to be followed by chronic diseuso,
Oth.—Keonomy of Life. —As the cure is effected
before anil without reduciug the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might lie added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in ail condi
tions of life.
Tiie above reasons are more particularly applicable to
tile immediate treatment on tho first attack, hut will
upply witli equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
V> the nature of tho case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, olfoetuiil and perma
dent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
tiie attack, persons can scarcely realize that they fowl
been really mmiPatck, and Very naturally conclude tin y
weiM not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—H little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything —that medicine had no effect.” The general
impression on tho subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally us men think at all; and it is not until
!'io individual has witnessed many casestlmt he can fully
realize tiie truth; and oven then he may conclude them
ail very trifliug 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 cases occur win re there is some
organic or loeul cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success:ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rile us tiie influence of tho *• Fluid” passes
off, us the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in sunn cases that X have given
uml frequently refer to wliat I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks ou Fever* in General*
Ou tills subject I wish to he fully understood. By the
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human framo is subject, Including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
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 typos;
yet, all are distinguished by tiio same general character
istics—that ol .undue excitement in tiie circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or loss unnatural fre
quency in tiro pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tiie skin,
debility, &c.
To show tliatj am not wholly alone iu the opinion 1
iidvauoe, I quote from tiie celebrnfed Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
oles and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority,
Uti page 834, lie says : —“Wo hour continually, both in
and out of the 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, Ataxic, Adynamic, Guatro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, l am persuaded that the effect upon tiie
mind of all this sub-division, is laid 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 ou. They run insensibly into each
other, even tho most dissimilar of thorn, and are often
traceable to tho sumo cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
mid I would impress on your minds tiie fully of hunting
up or troubling youiself about a•• name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
mill be well instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is uo hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, hut ou experience at the bed
side of Uio sick, in hundreds, aye, thousauds ot cases
(by myself ami others) under a great variety of cir
ciiinstances, 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 liugor
iug and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before tiie ’■ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible tiie proper course to be pursued iu
all of tho most prominent fevers, though tho “ Buies”
and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tiie sick.
Hales important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given In three or fotir times its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure,
Xil. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,
(though there should always ho free ventilation iu the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its iu-
Uuence.
fid. 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
i ircumstances.
4th. When tho fever begins to subside, patients must
lie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not ho questioned us to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, road or take any exorcise 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, iu
which they may feel more or loss interested, but lie left
quiel to all intents and purposes.
6th. Fluids should he allowed, while giving i( as
plentifully, and as long as tho 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.
iith. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in tho lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tiie 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 mayßie bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TAUhE OF BOSKS.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 16 “

“ “ 6 “ 10 “ 20 to 50

All persons over flftoon considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoon fill is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those of ten years of ago frequently having
tuken lull doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, witli tile remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults iu proportion.
By observing tiie above directions, the medicine will
lit* found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of tiie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
uot tin account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or HeiAltteut. Fever.
(live ft tcasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
. twh noun, till tire fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the wiiolo treatment in all 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 lie
attended to at once, and while giving the •• Fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
if in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or couflncd, give a cat hurtle (sAe auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must be opened or tho fever may rise
again.
Where tho fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
Howards, ami the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the infiueueo of medicine—not easily operated ou by
■uediciue generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at first w'itli advantage, and oven repeated
in two hour*—if it—the poise—lms not been softened,
thus showing tiie medicine lias taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at au agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits aud
water, in these difficult eases, will a foul relief and aid
tiie medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two teaspoonsful aud repeat every two hours till
tho pulse becomes more full and soft, theh only a tea
spoonful, to bo discontinued as the fever suhsidci. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
uo time should bo lost to get them open, glvo some active
cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; euemns (injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (nibbing) with tho hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to tho 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 ore all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this But a few days
will lw accessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
Tlis treatment should be oommenerd—wliieh may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of “ Fluid’’ every two hours, till the pulse
bsoomss fulfer or larger in volume, then to tie eon tinned
• iu sia or eight hours till t>-e fever eutirely subsides.
In hail coses, from three to live grains each of quinine
and eapticuM (Cayonuo pepper) or some tbmo aud .stimu
lant (see auxiliaries; should be added to e tch dose, Ttiq
.buwels should bu kept gently open, aud small portions
of some hepatic should be given Occasionally, even
though tlm bowels should be very love The patient
should ho sustained by uourishing and n.ucilagenous
drinks—such as aro in common use in such cases.—
Where tiie skin is very dry, sponging t! a surface us di
rected in bilious fever, will bo lound advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu ail cates
which have become reduced,
Puenmonia, Typhoid Pneunionia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
tiivua luuspuuuful of tho “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of brfhewt; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or iiours.
The boneoet tea should ho given win m till tho violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard planter, or something of
tho kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep thy
bowels gently upon.
Variola, Varluloiii, ilabtola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases aro attended with fever, which
in fact i* the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differ* hue little from that of common fevers. „Romotnbdr
never wait to learn the “ name,” whether it is otio or tiie
other, or w Utter. as they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will ho no
trouble; there will li e but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to must minds, i anew idea, add doubt U-t 1
will ho regarded with ridicule by many, i ucvi-nhi.-f0...-;
boldly make the asiiortinu, that .-mall pox, if ire:-red as
1 direct, tt’tKbe cot fltrrrt ; attended with but littla erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that tin-to is no ,<•••dg of
its running its ordinary course. On this i will stake
not only my reputation, but a.I that 1 hold most dear;
besides, ou this subject, i have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874;
“You may abate tho force of tlm eruptive ievor, and
koop down, it is believed, tlm number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” llore is the admission liiat it may
be done. J nave not only proven it maybe, but lues
been done in numerous cases that occurred ou board
ship. See tho account appended.
(jive a teospoonful or morn, according to tho urgency
of tho ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tho level sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly tuttieient;
but it should ho given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tho fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of tiie ordinary gargles may lie u.-.eil, and the,
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In pne case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
anil faueus were so much swollen tiiat the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till tie could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoonful doses every lu/ur, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle iu ail sucli cases.
Puerperal or Ciiihlbul Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous anti affirming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teasjxionful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; nti alarm need be entertained, as tiie
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should lie re
peated ns long us tiie fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with tiiis subject, 1 cannot retrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tlm ladies, will save them much pain and suffering, it
is to inform them of tho happy effect of tiie Fluid in
many of their trials, iu child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
anil difficulties; it must be tried to lie appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at adelicato time, is easily relieved iiy
its use: in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most So of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing tiie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritahiiity of the nervous as well as tiie circulatory,
it will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally anil
healthy; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tiie Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without^regard to tho
name it may ho or ought to fie called, it should be git eu
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 in any care, they should
be appropriate means, and these solntld be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection witli 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
duo tire fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
if Uni bowels arq.costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to lie good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho
“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 colil water, to tiie part; if
violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tho 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 uii ugreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar anti water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if tho patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iu absence of lever or v, hen indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tho 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 goad; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tiie
stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all tiie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“Fluid” at tho same time as directed, and suece.--<°will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at tho case
witli which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss hi know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is its,si. l have found ho such nece -it\
when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by
all, 1 will name a tew of tho different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat It art ies.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bow els, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tin l roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything
known to lie good fortmeh purposes.
Hepatics.—Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of tho article* depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “Fluid” or while tiie system is under its in
liuence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tho third, podophyllln—tlia fourth, mandrake
root, and so on: each may take bis choice and be sue
oosst'ul.
Tonics. —Articles that give tone or strength; such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Hoiio
se: or thorouglnvorl is one of tile best u-od in fevers.
AutriiiKcnts. —Such as cheek tiie action of the
bowels. hmidunum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that lai.-c or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are ail more
■or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
usod, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bet'er” dia
phoretic,” -anodyne, liuretio.” “relaxant” and
“ sedative” than known in the materia mcdica.
1 shall not tnx the reader with a long list of proof*,
depending mainly on the results of s‘ trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Paeketihip Duchess D’Orleatss.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
We took passage on the paekotship Duchess d’Orleans,
Cant Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre. France
and bound for New York. She railed on the flth of in
gest. ISSI, with over a hundred souls on hoard. mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tiie small
lix broke out among the emigrants. They were all
treated by the physician In charge, llr. N. W. Seat, with
anew remedy of Ida own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted tiiirtv-nine davs
there were about eighty cases of small pox, sotuo fever
Ac., and not a single death. All Were cured with unu
sual promptness.
Fretu what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that tla> medicine used by Dr. Seat on rhe oc
casion, possesses inestimable Virtues. Wo never before
heard er read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness aud certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long paw-a ■
small pox and fever on board, and not a death.’ The
fact speaks for itself,

Dear Sir —The public generally are fully aware of- be

who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Heal Cur. in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
