NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by AT. W. Seat, M. !>•
.oumiiin why it should be need instead of any other treat
ment iu all Febrile affections;
Ist.— Economy of Time. —As only one-seventh
(lie ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
td.— Er,oiioiny of Money.—As it costs but one
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feeling.—As it saves the
•uttering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and tbo pain of
loug couilnemeut; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant iu its effects.
4th.—Economy of Thought.—As when
known, it will removo all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
sth.—Economy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
Oth.—Economy of Life.—As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, iu u corresponding degree, all danger of a futul
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
Tile above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply wiili equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
to the nature ol the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perm a
uent relief, iu all ordinary ca-es, when used soon after
the attack, persons ran scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, ami very naturally conclude tin y
wer > not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling
—a little cold, which gate alarm—it could have been
nut drug pi consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had no effect. The general
impression ou the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
aH naturally as men think at all; and ir is hot until
•he individual lias witnessed many cases that lie can fully
.uttlizo the truth; utid even then he may conclude them
all very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though tiiey have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cuses occur where there is some
organic or local cause so groat ns to require particular
attention, or though success.ul ill reducing the fever,
it will again tisc as the influence of liio fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment ill sucii cases that l have given
and frequently refer to what l have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks ou Fevers in General*
On this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. Hy the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile uttections to
which tiie human frame is subject, including small [six
ami other eruptive fevers; hut as they nriso by ii great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habile, they of course differ considerably in tiieir
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that oi undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency iu the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that X am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance. I quote from tho celebrated i'rof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, whoso work on the •• i'rinci
ides ami Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical collegos, and consequently standard authority.
On page Sat, he says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, l<ow Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. Aud systematic writers are to tho full us particular:
liucous Fever, Ataxic, Adyuamic, Gastro-Euterle, aud
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 am persuaded that tho effect upon the
mind of alt this sub-division, is had and hurtful, it
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for a disease according to its mime. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. Tiiey run insensibly into each
other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
aud 1 would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once us hereafter directed, and you
wilt. be well instead of any distiuetcliaracter being devel
oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, lint ou experience at the bed
side of the sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself aud others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons aud climates. Bear this iu mind,
uud treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But us cases may have be
come developed liefuro the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in
all of tho most prominent levers, though the ■* liules”
and “ .Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
liules imporhmt to be observed in all costs in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. it should be given iu throe or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be fVoo from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under ils in
fluence.
dd. It must lie continued whenever tho fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such lie tho ease under any
circumstances.
4tli. When tho fever begins to subside, patients must
bo left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not be 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, ituiuce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu
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 uud no
longer; they may consist of cold-water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold oi- warm, us parties may prefer or patients desire.
lilli. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, tiiey should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast may be bathed iu 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 and under 3 years, “ sto 16 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ 20 to 60
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teaspoonfui.
All persons over fifteen considered as udults, for whom
n teaspoonfui is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children —those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide, I have given the
above table, with tho remark that, as a general rulo,
children require more than adults iu proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
bo found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
not on accouut of any aetuai necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Hiltons or Remittent Fver<
Tlive ii toasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observance* as are set forth in the
“ Kules.” But ehould there he prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie
attended to at once, and while giving the “Fluid.'’
Bee Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or eoullued, givo a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
tlrst portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever Is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on liy
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 sof'tnirj,
thus showing tho medicine has 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
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two teiMpoonsful ami repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside*. As
the bowels are generally confined, aud It is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate iu this disease,
no time should be lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with tho “Fluid” and repeat as mav be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (nibbing) with the bands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. Bee Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of ono character, differing
mninly iu degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use iu separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In these low* fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
comparatively little, ss they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this lmt a few davs
will lie nerassary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should he commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful „r •‘Fluid” every two hours, till the pulss
b-oomes tailor or larger in volume, then to be continued
eo In sis or eight hour* till fever entirely 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 bo added to each dose. The
bowels should lie kept geutly open, and small portions
of some hepatic should be givcu occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing aud niucilagenous
drinks—such :is ure in common use iu such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface us di
rected in bilious fever, will lie found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
dive a teaspoonfui of the “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction Os boneset; or
half tho quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at louger intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent
symptoms ure allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
tiie kind, to be applied over thu seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet .Fever.
As nil of these diseases arc attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Ueiuember
never w ait to learn the “ratin?,” whether it is one or tiie
other, or neither, as tiiey all commence with Jeeer, blit
treat it at once; govern the fever ami therewill be no
trouble; there will be but tittle, eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is a now idea, uud doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, null be cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and that tlicie Is ho necessity of
its running iu ordinary course. Un this 1 will stake
mil only my reputation, but ad that I hold most dear;
besides, on thin subject, 1 have good authority; that of
I’rof. 4 S’a twin, previously quoted. Ho says, page 874:
“ You may abate the force of tho eruptive lever, and
kieji down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Hero is tlio admission that it may
be done. I nave not only proven it mug be, but has
bes n done iu numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. Sec tiie account appended.
(live, a teaspoonfui or more, nccordiug to tiie urgency
of the ease, with a dose of sails or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid unco in two hours if necessary, until tho fuversnb
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, and tile
mu lace bullied, as thought advisable.
In nnc case, on tiie ship Duchess d'Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on ids tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given iu teaspoonfui doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tiie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.,
Tliis heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonfui. almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need lie entertained, as tlm
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should be re
peated ns long as the fever continues, us iu other eases.
The bowels 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 the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.—
I’aiuful menstruation will be 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, tt is one of tho most convenient and
etfectuai 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 all excitability
and Iritability of the nervous us well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sontli and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; ln-nco its use in so tuauy cases.
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 tiie Negative Electric F’luid
will change the condition culled 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 be removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and theso sohubl be given while
giving tho “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As tho‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, l call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tho first dose, or soon after, aud should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, the
“ Fluid” will soou relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inffammatiou, 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, aud bathe
the feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry uud hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe tiie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the 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 patiout has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become in
duced; if there is nausea amt vomiting, that 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 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 the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“Fluid” at tho same time as directed, ami success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will he astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant hy
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood hy
all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat Hart ics.—Articles that purge or operate on tho
bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, uud many pills, antiblliuus, Ac.; anything
known to be good forsuch purposes.
Hepatics.—Anything known to net on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and 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—the third, podophyllin—tiie fourth, mandrake
root, mid so on; each may take his choice and he suc
cessful.
Tonics. —Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Bono
set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Atringviits.—Such os check the action of the
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., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. Theso are the only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but tiie Negative Electric F'luid is a better “ dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than kuowu in the materia medico.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to oue instance of success, that on the v
Packet ship Dnrliess D'Orleans.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to tho following, viz,—
We took passage on the packetship Duchess d’Orleans,
Capt Hutton, then lying in tho port of Havre, France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among tho emigrants, They were all
treated hy the physician iu charge,Dr. N. W. Seat, with
anew remedy of his own, which lie calls Negative Klec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted 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 what we saw duriug said passage, we aro fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Sent on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or rend 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,
small pox and fever on board, aud not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

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

RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Orleans, April 9, 1555.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ilie
thousands of remedies for Diseased Dungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilias, 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 thst contains articles of
Heal Use iu Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, I am acting most uupiofcssionaliy,and deroga?
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 I have
used with more snccesa than any of tiie usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., May X, 1855.
O. 0. Woodman—Dour Sir; X htivo given your Cherry
Expectorant u fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article I over 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
roughs, 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 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 w armth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Hough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity, it is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended liy the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottla is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to lie hotter than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant
