t tlm ordinary time is required to effect a cure.

loilar.
til'd.— Kconoiuy of lfellng.-As it saves tlie

and tiiat pleasaut iu its oil acts.
Atli.— Economy of TUoughti —As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety ut present
listing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
.lib.—Economy of Health.— As the system
is not reduced, and consequently rucked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
Gib. — Economy of Life. —As the cure iseffoctod
defuse and without reducing the pulieut, 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 iu all condi
tions of life*
Tlie above reasons arc more particularly applicable to
tlie immediate treatment on the hint attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of coin se
‘o the nature of tiie case at tlie time it in first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, etfcctual aud permit
aunt relief, iu ail ordinary cases, when used soon after
tlie attack, persons can scarcely realhse that they had
lienti really much sick, and very naturally conclude th'-y
wen not attacked with fever, audit’ se, “it was trilling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
uulliiug oi ceusequeiice—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine hail no effect.’’ Tlie gcueral
nop! ussioii eu the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
s naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
*1” individual lias witnessed many cases that ho cun fully
•oalizu tlie truth; aud even llieu he may conclude them
all very trifling coses, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, tbougli they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success ul in reducing tlie fever,
it will again rise as the intluenco of tiie “ Fluid” passes
off', as tlio exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment iu such cases that X Imvo given
and frequently refer to what 1 have ealled a “ synopsis.”
Remarks oil Fevers in General*
On tills subject I wish to be fully understood. Ily tlie
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
ami other eruptive fevers; but us they arise by a great
Variety of causes, and iu quito dissimilar constitutions
and habits, tin y of course differ considerably in their
development ami exhibit variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that o! undue excitement in tlie circulatory ami
nervous systems—inducing more or loss unnatural fre
quency in tlie pulse, sense of heat, dryneHS of tlie skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in tiie opinion I
advance, I quote from the celebrated I’rof. T. Watson,
of King's College, London, whose work on tlie Princi
oles ami Practice Os Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority.
im page 8114, ho says:—“ We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, lirain Fever,
tiilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to tlie full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Finterie, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that tlie effect upon the
mind of all this suli-division, is bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
scribe for a disease according to its name.. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
tluit can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
ether; even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to tlie same cuuso.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would impress oil your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you: self about a “ name if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, aud you
will he well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by tlie most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based mi closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bod
side of the sick, In hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself aud others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons aud climates. Bear this in mind,
aud treat at once without regard to name, aud rest
Assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger
ing uud dangerous fevers. But us cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, X will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent t’evors, though tlie “ Rules”
ami “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Hates important to bt observed in all oases in using Hie
JVugiitive Electric Fluid.
Ist. it should lie given iu throe or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must bo free from nil currents of air,
(tbougli tliero should always bo free ventilation in tlie
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under Us in
llue nee.
ad. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off'; to bo resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such he the ease under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to tliuir wunts or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read nr take any exercise whatever,
till tlieir own natural feelings, independent of all extra
uoous influences, induce them to riso or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may fool more or less interested, but be left
quiet to nil intents and purposes.
utli. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it ns
plentifully, and as long as tlie patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
ilrinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in tlie lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness alter the fever Ims 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 fare and
breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
u teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of lifo;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary iu giving it to
children —those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide, 1 have given tlie
above table, with tlie remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
Ily observing the above directions, the medicine w ill
be found agreeable in all of its effects, tile expectations
of tlie most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, tiiat
tlie full lieuetit of tlie medicine may Ini’ obtained, aud
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever.
Give a toasponful 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 ns are set forth in tlie
“ Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the •• Fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
if in any ease the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) witli tlie
first jiortlon; they must be opened or tlie fever may rise
tlgaiu.
Where'the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to tho influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened ,
Hi us showing the medicine lias taken effect.
Rattling 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
the uicdiciuo much In taking effect.
Congestlvs Fever.
Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as tlie fever subside). As
the bowels are geuerally coufined, ami 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 tho “ Fluid’’ and repeat us may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (Rejections) may also ho
used to advantage; also, mustard to tiie extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or Annuel; also, cold
applications to tins head. Quinine may he added to tlie
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of otie character, differing
umiulj in degree, being all of a low griulo, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use In separating them—at least so far as
uiv treatment is concerned. In those low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will lie required; still
comparatively tittle, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will lie necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced— which may
immediately follow any other without detriment witii
a tnnspoimfnl „f Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
b-ooine* fuller or larger In volume, then to be continued
ace In six or eight hours till t he fever entirely eubsidee.
In bad case?, from three to live grains each of gainin’
and capsicum ;Cayeiino pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each dose. Tlie
bowels should he kept gently open, and small portions
of somo hrpjJic should l/e given occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and niucilageuous
drinks—such us are in common use in such eases.—
Whore tlie skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases
which iiave become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a toaspoonful of tho “Fluid” every two hours,
witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bonesot; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, sny once in six or eight hours.
Tho boneset tea should be given warm till tlie violent
symptoms are allayed, or tlie patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
tlie kind, to bo applied over tho seat of pain; keep tho
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these discuses are attended witli fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from tiiat of commou fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the ‘ijuime,” whether it is one or tlx:
other, or neither, as they ult commence with Jeter, but
treat it at once; govern tho fever and there will bo no
trouble; there will lie bul little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is a now idea, and doubtless
will be regarded witli ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make tlie assertion, lliut small puv, if treated as
1 direct, will he cut short i attended with blit liltlo erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake
not only my reputation, loit ail that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 Imvo good authority; tiiat of
I’rof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, It is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is llie admission that it may
be done. 1 nave not only proven it maybe,, imt has
been done in numerous eases that occurred on board
ship. See tlie account appended.
Give a tuaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of tlie ease, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
F’luid once in two hours if necessary, until tho fever sub
aides—though one or two closes is generally sufficient;
but it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tliefever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordiuary gargles may be used, and tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
la one case, on tlie ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that tiie patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid on ilia tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaapoonful doses every Iwur, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tho swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hums by tlie Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tlie throut frequently, it is doubtless tlie
bestyaryb’. in all such cuses.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, w ill yield to tlie
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, us to seem
to lie of little consequence. A siugle dose or two of a
toaspoonful, almost invariably giving eutiro aud per
manent relief; no ahum need bo entertained, os tlie
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should bo re
peated us long as the fever continues, us iu otlier cases.
Tho bowels of course sliould be attended to.
In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tiie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of tiie Fluid in
many of their trials. Jn child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it muHt lie tried to he appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken 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 the whole system, removing ail excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as tho circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, liut it will sooth aud
quiet til® system bo that one call 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, I give under this head general
directions for all eases. As tiie Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho
name it may bo or ought to lie called, it should bo given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohtild be given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then morn readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then lie lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic fsee auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat tho dose; if attended
witli diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for
tiiat complaint, though if caused by irritability, tiie
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
liain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain iu tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if tho lever is very high, skin
dry anil hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
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 the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will bo no trou
ble ; if the patient Inis been reduced or is much prostra
ted. giro tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlie patient has become re
duced; if there is hausen and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; tor 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; in short, treat all tiie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tho
“Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you ciinnol realize it till you
have seen, nud then you will bo ustouished ut tlie ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
l’artios may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about wliat is used, f have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of tlie different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat hurt ics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, antiliilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Hepattcs.— Anything known to act on tho liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of tho articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used in connection
with the “F’luid” or while tho system is under its in
fluence. Aud one may choose calomel—another, blue
moss—the third, podopliylliu—tho fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonies.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thorougliwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the aclion of tlie
bowels. Laudanum aud other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlie effect.
Stimulants.— 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 less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa
ry in 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 the materia medica.
I shall uot tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of tt trial, aud will
only refer to one instance of success, that outlie
Pncketshtp Duchess D'Orleans.
which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
Wo took passage on the packetsliip Duchess d'Orleans,
Copt Ilutton, tlion lying iu the port of Havre, France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 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 the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Seut. with
anew remedy ofliia own, which lie calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over tho disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lusted thirty-nine days,
there w ere about eighty eases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., and not a siugle death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced tiiat the medicine used by Dr. Beat ou tlie oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We 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 crow ded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a deatht The
fact speaks for itself.

the medicine that has created such an excitement at the
North among the Physicians, aud lias been pronounced
by all who have used it ns being far superior to any

RECOMMENDATIONS.
Nrw Orleans. April 9, 1855.
Dear Sir —Tiie public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under tlie titles
of Sarsaparilla*. Pills, Plasters, Liniments, &c., tiiat 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 ut least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Real Use In Dulimmary Diseases. Imu conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most unprofcssionally, and deroga
torily to tho interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mediciuo. I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1555.
O. O. Woodman —Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial ami am w ell pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article 1 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 lias 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 as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably bo 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 iu 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 leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottlo is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to bo better than any Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver
