N ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N, W. Seat, M. D.
I. ramus why it should be used instead of any other treat* I
mont in all Febrile affections:
| t,—Ecunomy of Time. —As only one-seventh
.3 the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
•4<t •■Ueoilomy of Money.— As it c ats but one
lollar.
3rd. — Ucottomy of Peeling.— As it saves the
sintering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
inedioino, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long oonttncuient; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4th. — Kconomy of Thought. —As when
knuwn, it will remove all dread and auxlety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear mend is sick.
9 th.—Kconomy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, 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 dcgTce, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Utlier reasons might be added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and | Mintons 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 have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to the nature of the case at the time it is lirst adminis
tered.
As tiiis remedy gives so prompt, effectual and pornm
uent relief, In all ordinary cases, when used soon after
tile attack, psrson! can scurcely realize that they hud
been realty much sick, and very naturally conclude they
weiM not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, whicli gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of caneequence—it would have |ui*sud off with
out anything—that moiliclne had noeffect.’’ The general
impression on the 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
*'i individual li&s witnessed many cases tliut lie can fully
.ealize the truth; aud even then he may conclude them
all very trifling casos, which would hare readily yielded
to auy simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will coses occur where there is some
•rgauic or local cnUNe so great as to require particular
attention, or though success; ul in reducing the fever,
It will again rise os the influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, as tlie exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disiippoiutmeut m suen cases that I have given
anil frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Itemarlu on Feveri In General*
On this subject T wish to be fully understood. Ily tlie
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the humau frame is subject, including small pox
aud other eruptive fevors; but as they arise by a great
variety of causox, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency In the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the celebrated I’rof. T. Watson,
us King’s College, London, whose work on the “ I’rinci
olss aud l’ractice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standant authority.
On page 831, he says:—“We hear continually, liotli in
and out of tlie profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. Aud systematic writers are tu the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Knterie, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forma, f am persuaded that tlie effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
euoourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. Tliero is
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 the same cause.”
The above Is it great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and l would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling youiself about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
wiU be. well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so ns 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 tlie bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself uud others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, season! and climates. Bear this in mind,
uud treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured yon will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing aud 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 descrilw
as briefly as possible the proper courso to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
ami “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
llules important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. it should be given in three or four times its own
quautity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
id. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in tlie
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must be continued whenevor 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
bo left jierfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not be questioned as to their wants or foelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, itiduce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or loss interested, but be loft
quiet to all intouts und purposes.
6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, und as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilnginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
flth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tlie fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of It, they should have a little
wiuo, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face aud
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 uud under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ ..go 5 .< l2 to 30 “
“ “5 “ 10 “ 2O to 60 “
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All pursous over flfteou considered as adults, for whom
a leuspoonful is a conimou dose. Old persons do not
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 particular care nocessary in giving it to
children—those of ten years of age frequently having
taken frill doses; bat for a little guide, I have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more thau adults in proportion.
By observing tlie above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of tlie most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
tlie full beueflt of the medicine may be obtained, uud
not on accouutof any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
(Jive a tcasponful 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 such observances as are set forth in tlie
“ Rules.” But should there he prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must be o|>enrd er tlie fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse ruuning 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medlciue—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repented
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine lias taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
tlie medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teaspoonsful aud repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to bo discontinued us the fever subside). As
tlie bowels are generally confined, and It is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate In this disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “ 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 flannel; also, cold
applications to tho head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever. Typhus. Ship end Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are ail 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 nse in separating them—at least so far ns
my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required: still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will ba accessary at longest to *Matdii>h a permanent
canvalescencs.
The treatment should be commenced—whish may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
s tsespoesful of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
beeoaee falter or larger in volume, then to be continued
•te in sixer eight hours till the fever eutlrely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
aud capsicum ;Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions
of Some hepatic should Ik- given occasionally, even
though tlie bowels should be very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging tho surface us di
rected iu 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.
Give a teaspoonful of the “ Fluid” evory two hours,
with a wine-giasslul of a strong decoction of boneset; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hoars.
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 tlie
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Hcarla
tina; or fima.ll Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As nil of these discloses are attended witli fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn tlie “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever uud there will be no
trouble; there will b v but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I 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 tiiat there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputution, but ad that I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874:
“You may abate 100 force of tlie eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie number oj the pustules by
spline purg"S, Ac.” Here is tho admission that it may
be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. Moo tlie account appended.
(live a teaspoonfiil or more, acconling to the urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversub
sidos—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
Imt It should he given and repented sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When tlie throat is alfocted,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may lie used, and the
surfticc bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tlie ship Duchess d’Orlcans, the tongue
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,
when it was given iu teaspoouful doses every hour, till
nil alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tbe
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 littlo consequence. A single doso or two of a
tcaspooiilul. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tbe
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re
peated as long as the fever continues, as iu other cases.
The Ihiwcls of course should tie attended to.
In connection with this subject, I caunot refrain front
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the tallies, will save them much pain and suffering, it
is to inform them of the happy effect of tlie Fluid in
many of their trials, in child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the lalsir of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to bo appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will bo relieved at once by a com
mon dose andretiriug. 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 many of tlie ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritahility of the nervous us well as the circulatory,
it will not force sloop like opiates, but it will sooth aud
quiet tlie system so that one cun sleep naturally and
healthy; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie 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 nil circumstances, without regard to the
name it may he or ought to bo called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cunnot 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 whilo
giving the “ Fluid,” aud in connection with it, when
occasion requires, ns they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the ‘,Fluid” alone will sub
duo the fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
if the bowels are costive, give a cathar tic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due tirno, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tbe
“ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
u mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tlie part; if
violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling upplicAtion, und bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry aud hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable teuiporature;
“the saline wash,”, vinegar aud 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 lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low
fuvers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea uud vomiting, tliut must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach
to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie
stomach lias Bottled, give tlie “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at the same time as directed, aud success will
orown 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. I have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, I will name a tow of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cathartic*.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, sucli as castor oil, salts, senna, auy of the roots
or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.— Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation aud secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by tho 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, blue
mass—tlie third, podophyllin—tlie fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice aud be suc
cessful.
Toulca. —Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thoroughwert is one of tbe best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudunum aud other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite tlie
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartßhoru, Ac., tlie essences are ail 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” thau known in the materia medica.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, aud will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packetshlp Duchess D'Orle&ns.
which cannot be class-"d among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to tlie following, viz
We took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orleans,
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the flth of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among tho emigrants, They were all
treated by tlie physician in charge. Dr. N. W. Seat, with
a new remedy of his own, which Tie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to liavo entire control
over tlie disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During tits voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
Krem what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. Wo never la-fore
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled witli
so much ease, promptness and csrtainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a death! Tlie
fart speaks for Itself.

HAVE received the appointment from the proprietor
for the sole agency of
Woodman’s Cherry 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 s being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesaniine,
the 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 tho
tliousauds of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillaa, 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 uso one that contains articles of
Real Use in l'ulmnnary Uiseascs. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most uuprofcssionally.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 I have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1855.
0. 0. Woodman —Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well 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 by the bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties us a dissolvent
atn’ its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will ~ M,ably 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 medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leadiug
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
