.TjbiiiATlVE -bJLjECTHIG FLUID,
Prr|iarcd by SI. W . Seat, SI. D.
l.uuKuiit hy it should bo used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections :
I st— -Economy of Time. — As only tmtesevenlh
.1 the ordinary time is renam'd to effort a cure.
4i1. --Economy- of Monty. —As it costs but one
dollar.
3rd. — Ecimomy of Feeling— -An it saves tbe
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, tbeir disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; tint little of the fluid being necessary,
ami that pleasant in its effects.
4th, — Economy of Thought. —As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting fohrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
3 th.— Economy of Ilcaiili.— As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
Bill. — Economy of Life. —As tint 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
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
Tho above reasons arc more particularly applicable to
the iutmmliute treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to eases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
••i ;)io nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, When used soon aider
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th"y
were not attacked with fever, and if so, ‘ it was trilling
-a 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 the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the alxive follow tho cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it Is not until
•he individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully
.oaii/.e the truth; and even then he may cepclnde them
all very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
boon thus successful In perhaps hundreds of coses, must
expect that.there will cases occur win re there is some
organic or lucal cause so great ns to require particular
attention, or though suceesgitll in reducing tho lever,
it Will again rise as tho intlucuco of tire “fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in sum cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General*
Ou tliis subject I wisli to bo fully understood, liy the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which tlie liumitu frame is subject, including small pox
auilother eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, aud in quite dissimilar constitutions
and liabits, they of course differ considerably in their
development uud exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that oi undue excitement ill the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of boat, dryness of the skiu,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, I quote from tile etdebrufed Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, whose work on the •• Piiuci
ides aud Pructioe of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently stanilardcudhmUy.
on page 834, he says:—“ We hear continually, both in
aud out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Hy the public, Typhus fever, lSrain fever,
bilious fever, Putrid fever, Low fever, Nervous fever,
Ac. Aud systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-Euteric, aud
so forth. Now, admitting that fever hliows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that tho effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad aud hurtful. It
encourages a ikspusition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its name. There is ho
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied ou. Tlioy run insensibly into each
oi lier, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
Tho above Is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and l would impress ou your minds the folly of limiting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will, be well instead of auy distinct character being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
Tliis assertion Is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of tile sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons aud climates, bear this in uiind,
and treat at once without regard to name., aud rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing mid dangerous fevers, but as eases may havo he
roine developed before the “ fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
us briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued iu
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Iliiles 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
quantity of wator, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
•2d. Patients must bo 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
tiueuce.
Ud. It must bo continued whenever tho lever subsides,
or is evidoutly pussing off'; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such bo the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subshle, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
unt lie questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their man natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation he allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents aud purposes.
sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and uo
lunger; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or tons, either
cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
tlth. Should patients experience any oppression or
I'aiuluess while in tho lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, caiupuor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little
spirit, ginger, or soino other stimulant; or the fare aud
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES,
r children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over l aud under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ 2O to 50 “
“ “ S “ 15 half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, its a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care uecessary in giving it to
children—those of ten years of , ago frequently liaviug
taken lull doses ; but for a little guide, I have given tho
above tatde, with tlie remark that, as a general rule,
children require more titan adults in proportion.
liy observing tho above directions, tho medicine will
lie found agreeable in all of its effects, tlie expectations
of the most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
tlie full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
Hive a teasponful of “fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the (ever is evidoutly passing oil'; this
constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of
(ever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
“ Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie
attended to at once, aud w hile giving the “ fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
<i t court lied, give a oath art lo (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must he opened or tlie fever may rise
again.
Where tho fever Is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and tlie patieut is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—net easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two toaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—tlie pulse—has not been softened ,
tints showing the medicine lias taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water lit an agreeable
temperature, the stilino wash, vinegar or spirits aud
water, in these ditfieult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(Jive two teospoousl'ul and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to bo discontinued as the fever subside!. As
the bowels aro generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate ill tills disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “fluid” and repeat as may lie neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to tho head. Quinine may lie 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
inaiuly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depressing there Is
uo practical use in separating them—at least so far as
tny treatment U concerned. In these low fevers, when
hilly developed, a little patience will he required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
tlie common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
sanvalescence.
The treatment should bo commenceil—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment with
teaspoonfnl of “Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
tiseouMe fuller or larger in volume, then to be continued
,uee In si* or eight hours till tKe fever entirely subsides.
Iu had 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 lie kept gently open, and hinall portions
of some hepalic should bo given occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. The patient
should be sustaiued by nourishiug aud mucilagenous
drinks—such as are m common use in such cases.—
Where tlie skin is very dry. sponging the surface as di
rected in biiious fever, will lie found advantageous.
Tonics should bo used during convalescence, in all cases
which havo bocuuio reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter fever.
Give a teaspoonful of the “fluid” every two hours,
with a wiue-glassiul of a strong decoction of boueset; or
half tlie quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once 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
tho kind, tube applied over the seat of pain; keep tlie
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, llubcola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are all ended with fever, which
in fact is tin; most prominent symptom, the treatmeut
differs line little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with J'cver, hut
treatU at ouee; govern the lever and there will he no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, ami doubtless
will In; regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct,, mil lie cut short; attended with but little erup
tion: little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On tliis I will stake
not only my reputation, but u.l that 4 hold most dear;
besides, ou this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
l'rof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
“ You may abate tlie force of tlie eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be done. I iiave not only proven it mag be, but has
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
Bilip. Seo the account appended.
Givoa teaspeonful or more, according to the urgency
oi’ tlie ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, aud tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tlie ship liuchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that tlie patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
w hen it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie 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 tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gurgle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.,
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to tlie
Negative Electric fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as the
fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as tho fever continues, as iu other cases.
The bow els of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tlie ladies, will save them much pain uml suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of tlie fluid iu
many of their trials. Ju child-birth, its relaxing aud
soothing effect deprives tlie labor of much of its pains
ami difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold takeu at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tho 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 tlie whole system, removing ail excitability
and iiitability of the nervous ns well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use iu so many cuses.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and 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 lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
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 he removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
bo appropriate means, and these 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 no unnecessary
timo will then bo lost. As tho ‘,fluid” alone will sub
due tlie fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with tliarrhiea, give something known to lie 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 bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tho part; if
violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some tooling application, and bathe
tlie feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tho saline wash,” vinegar and 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 the patient has 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 tliis purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tho stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tho
stomach lias settled, give tho “ fluid” anil a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
us you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“ Fluid” at tho some 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 easo
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 wliat is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics. —Articles that purge or operate on the
bow els, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, uud many pills, autibiliuus, Ac.; anything
known to bo good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on tlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended oil by the different schools
for tliis 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—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, uud so ou; each may take Ids choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Done
set or thorough wort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringent*.—Such ns check tho action of tho
bow els. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulant*.— 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 loss stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry ill 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 medica.
1 shall not tax the render with u long list of proofs,
d.qieuding mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packetshtp Duchess D'Orlcans.
which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to tho following, viz—
We took passage on tho packotship Duchess d’Orleans
Capt llutton, then lying iu the pert of Havre, France’,
and bound for New York. She sailed on tlie 9th 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 the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, with
a uew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative’ Elec
tric fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
iu a very short time.
During tlie 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.
from wliat we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Sent on the oc
casion, possesses Inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled wilb
so much case, 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.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully awiue of ilio
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillas, 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 in I‘ulmonary Diseases. [am conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessionally, and deroga
torily to tlie interests of Medical Science and tlie regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of tlie usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

This preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and infuct, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
wHI probably be preferred to auy other offered to the
public. As au appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also lie found excellent, its natural aud genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers iu proper tone.
Remember ttmt tliis is the only Cough Medicine that
lias stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tiohed hy. approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New Y'ork city. Every hot tin is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
