aNTEGATIVE ELECTJRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. D.
■reasons why it should be used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile uiTections:
Ut.nEconomy of Tline< —As only one-sevent’
and the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
ltd.— Economy of .Honey. —As it costs but one
dollar.
3rd. — Economy of Keeling.— As it saves the
suffering of long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and tho pain of
long conlluouiont; 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 friond is sick.
litll. — Economy of Health. —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is tho fever
rulyefft to be followed by chronic disease.
6th. — Economy of Life. —As the cure is effected
before and without reducing tho patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, nil 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.
The above reasons ar ■ 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 liavu become reduced, corresponding of course
‘si the nature of the ease at tho time it is lirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, iu all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons cun scarcely realize that they had
been really much Bick, and very naturally conclude th y
wers not attacked with fever, and if so, “It was trifling
-—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 sueh, that thoughts
not unlike tho above follow the cure of a common ease
as naturally as men think nt all; mid it is not until
; he imp viiliml has witnessed many eases that he can fully
.ealiae the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to uuy simpio medicine, yet persons, th'ough they lmvo
been til its successful in perhaps hundreds of eases, must
expect that there wili eases occur where there Is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though successiul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise us tho influence of the “ Fluid” passes
off, os the exciting causo may still exist. It is to guarif
against disappointment in suen cases that X have given
and frequently refer to what 1 have culled a “synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General*
On this sulijoct I wisli to he fully Understood. Jly the
term “levers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and iu 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 liy I lie same general character
istics—that ol online excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in tile pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skill,
debility, Ac.
To show Unit I am not wholly alone iu the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from tile celehrafed Prof. ‘l'. Watson,
ol King's College, Loudon, whose work on the “ Princi
ples anil Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
Uu page 834, he says : —“We hear Continually, both in
and out of tlie profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ily tlio public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic w riters are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Austro-Knteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever sliows itself under
various forms, l am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of ull 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, oven the most dissimilar of them, ami are often
traceable to the same cause.”
Tho above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
mid I would imprest on your minds the tolly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, anil you
unit be well instead of any distinctcliaraoter being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis bused on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of tlie sick, iu hundreds, uye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a greut variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and Irent at onco without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing ami dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as bristly as possible tlie proper course to be pursued iu
all of tlie most prominent fevers, though tlie “ Kules”
and “ Synopsis” will l>o amply sufficient for nil those
accustomed to nttouduuce upon tho sick.
Rales important to be observed in all cases in using the.
Negative Klectric Fluid.
Ist. It should ho given ia throe or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
‘_’d. Patients must bo free from ull currents of air,
(Though there should always be free ventilation iu the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
ti lienee.
3d. It must bo continued whenever tlie fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such lie the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When tlie fever begins to snbsidu, patients must
lie left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not lie 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 he allowed iu their hearing, iu
which they may feel more or less interested, but bo left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the 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.
titli. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness wliilo in tlie 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
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tlie face and
bivast maybe 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 1 and under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “
n “ 3 “ 5 “ “ iff to 30 “
“ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonl'ul.
All persons over lifteen considered as adults, for whom
a tsaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in tlie prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care nocessary iu giving it to
children —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; hut for a little guide, 1 have given tlie
above table, witli tlie remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
Ily observing the above directions, the medicftie will
be round agreeable in all of itseffecte, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, mid many perfectly
astonished. My object hi being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Uilious or Remittent Fever.
(live a teaspouful of “ Fluid'’ (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till tlie 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
“ Kules.” Hut should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If iu auy ease the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with tlie
first iiortion ; they must be opened or tlie fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to tlie influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at lirst with advantage, and even repeated
In two hours —if it—the pulse—lias not been softened,
ttine showing tlie medicine lias taken effect.
nothing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief atid aid
tlie medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
• live two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spooufui, to be discontinued ns tlie fever subsides. As
the bowels are generally confined, ami it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in tills disease,
no time should bo 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 tlie head. Quinine may lie add off to tlie
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship anil Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
siuAll and wiry, With a general great depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far us
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
tlie common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necesaary nt longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—whieh may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
s teaapoonfhl of “ Fluid” every two hours, till tlie pulse
becomes hiller or larger in volnme, then to be continued
, gee In sin or eight hours till tfe fever eutirely subsides.
In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. Th .
bowels should be kept gently open, and small |s>rtione
of some hepatic should be given occasionally, oven
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 tlie skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumunia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(live a tcuspoonful of tho “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boneset; or
half the quantity may he given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
Tho boneset lea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms ore allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As ull of these diseases are attended with lever, which
in fact is tlie most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from tint of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever und there will he no
trouble; there will be but little eruption oven in small
pox. This, to most minds, is u new idea, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make tlie assertion, that small pox, if treated as
] direct, will be, cut short; attended with hut little erujs
lion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, lint ail that I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
I’rof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“ Von may abate tlie force of tlie eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustuks by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be done, i nave not only proven it maybe, but has
been done in numerous cases tlmt occurred on board
ship. See tlie account appended.
Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once iu two hours il necessary, until the feversub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tlie lever under control. When tlie throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, ns thought advisable.
I u one case, on tlie ship Duchess d'Orleaus, tlie tongue
and Caucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid nu his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
tlie tliroatwas reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
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 ouch readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonl'ul, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need bo entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re
peated as long as tlie fever continues, as in other cases.
Tins 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
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of tlie happy effect of tlie Fluid in
many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its paius
hjul difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at ouce by a com
mon dose ami retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tlie most convenient and
effectual remedies lor 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
ami iritability of tlie nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet t-lie system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for ail eases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tlie condition called fever, 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 ho ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
lie appropriate means, and these soliuld be given wliilo
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection witli it, when
occasion requires, us they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lust. As the Fluid” alone will sub
due tlie fever, 1 call ull clso auxiliary treatment.
If tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tlie lirst dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
witli diarrhoea, give something known 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 latter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tho part; if
violent pain iu tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tlie feet in hot water; if the fever is very High, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tho
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“tlie saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if tlie 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 tlie patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach
to do any good ; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; iu short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at the samo time as directed, ami success will
crown your efforts; iudeod, 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. 1 have found ho sueh necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cat liarttca. —Articles tlmt purge or operate on the
bowels, smell as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, untibilious, Ac.; anything
known to lie good for such purposes.
Hepatic*. —Anything known to net on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “ Fluid” or wliilo tho system is under its in
fluence. And oue may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyiiin—tlie fourth, mandrake
root, anil so on; each may take liis choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics. —Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Rone
sot or thoroughwort is one of the liest used in lovers.
Astringent*.— Such us check the action of tlie
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are tlie only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though ninny others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic.” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” und
“sedative” than known in the materia medica.
I shall not tax tlie reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on tlie
Packetahlp Duchess D'Orleaus.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, tlie undersigned, certify to the following, viz—
We took passage on the packetsliip Duchess d’Orleaus,
Capt Hutton, then lying iu tlie port of Havre, France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1851, witii over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, tlie small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the pliysicianjn charge,Dr. N. W. Scut with
anew remedy of his owrffwhich he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which lie seemed to lmvo entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, und curing
in a very short time. **
During the voyage, which lasted tliirty-nine days
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever
Ac., aud not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what wo saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. M'e never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
email pox and fever on board, and not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

HAVE received tlie appointment from the proprietor
for tlie sole agency of

tlie medicine that has created such an excitement at the
North among the Physicians, and has been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to any
Clierry Pectoral. Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of tlie Yellow Jesamine,
tlie pure decoction of Wild Cherry liark, aud many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than auy
other Cough Medicine iu this country.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Orleans, April 9, 1855.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of tlie
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 tlie public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Real Use iu Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that iu
so doing, I am acting most tin professionally, and derogo
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Medicine. I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used witli more success than any of tlie usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1855.
0. O. 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 tlie bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
tlie universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
tliis medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As mi appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also lie found excellent, its natural aud genial warmth
keeping tlie digestive powers iu proper tone.
Remember that this is tlie only Cough Medicine that
lias stood tlie test of tlie medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by. approved of, and recommended by tlie leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or tlie money refunded. We guaran

Oil. or anything else now extant
