N-toiGA-TIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. VV. Seat, M. D.
:.a-uii why It ahonld be used Instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections :
Ist.— Economy of Time* —As only one-tt.of.nUi
jl tlie ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
‘Ad.—Kconomy of Money. —As it costs bat one
dollar.
3rd. — Kconomy of Keeling.—Ah it eaves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment ; tlie annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4tit.—Kconomy of Thought.— As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
s th.—Kconomy of Health.—As the system
is not reduced, ami consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
Oth. — Kconomy of Life. —As the 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, hut these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons in all condi
tions of life.
Tlie alHive reasons are more particularly applicable to
tlie immediate treatment on tlie tirst attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
*.o tlie nature of the case at the time it is lirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives no prompt, effectual and perma
limit relief, in all ordinary eases, when used soon after
tlie attack, persons can scarcely realize that they iiad
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
*i-n not attacked with fever, and if ho, “it was trilling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have panned off with
out anything—that medicine had noeffect.” The general
Impression on tlie subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike tlio above follow the cure of a common nine
a- naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
*'io individual has wltnesnud many canes that he can fully
.utilize tha truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
boon 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 succeMiUl in reducing the fever,
it will aguiu rise as the influence of the “ Fluid” passe*
off, as tlie exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
aguinst disappointment in such coses that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers In General*
On this subject 1 wish to lie fully understood. Hy the
term “fevers,” 1 comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut us they arise by a great
variety of causes, anil 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 by the same general character
istics—that oi undue excitement iu the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of tlie skin,
debility, Ac.
To show that I am not wholly alone in tlie opinion I
advance, I quote from tlie eeiehrafed i’rof. T. Watson,
of King s College, Condon, whoso work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice of l’hysic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
On page 834, ho says:—“We hear continually, Isith ill
aud out of the profession, different species of lever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Ixiw Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uiuitro-Enteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon tlie
mind of all this sub-divndou, is hod aud hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
scribe for a disease according to its mime. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied ou. They run insensibly into each
oi lier, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
Tlie above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would imprest ou your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well iustead of any distinctcharactor being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific.
Tliis assertion is uo hypothesis based ou closet s;iecula
tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed
side of tlie sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this iu mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Blit as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
uegloct, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to he pursued iu
si I of the most prominent fovers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Halts important to be observed in all caste in using the
Negative. Klectric Fluid.
Ist. It should he given in throe or four times its own
quantity of water, and may lie sweetened or not at
pleas ii le.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always he free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about wlilie under its in
fluence.
3d. It must lie continued whenever tlie fever subsides,
or is evidently passing oft ; to bo resumed wheu it
begins to rise again, should such be the case under any
circumstances.
4tli. When tlie fever begins to subside, patients must
ho left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wants or feeliugs, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, iiiduce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but he left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
6th. 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 decoctious, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
reslhiHHiicHH 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 the face and
breast may be bathed iu cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OK DOSES.
r children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ &to 15 •*
“ “ 2 “ 5
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “
“ “ 9 “ 15 half to u teaspoouful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoouful is a common dose. Old persons do not
Inquire os 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 iu giviug it to
children —those often years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark tliut, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the slsive directions, the medicine will
be found agioealile iu all of its effects, tlie expectations
of tlie most sanguine realized, aud mauy perfectly
astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that
tlio full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
not on aocount of any actual necessity of surh strict ole
secs alli es.
lllltous or Remittent Fever.
(live a teasponful of “Fluid” (see rule Ist) otice in
two hours, till tlie fever is evidently passiug off; this
constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of
fever, with such observauees as are set forth iu the
“ Kulcs.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should he
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If iu any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give n cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion ; they must be opened or tlie fever may rise
again.
Wtiers the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upward*. anil the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated ou by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two tcaspoonuful
may be given at flrst with advantage, and even repeated
iu two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine lias taken effect.
Bathing tlie surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits aud
w ater, in these difficult cases, will afford relief anil aid
tlie medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Kever.
(live two tcaspoousful and repeat every two hours till
tlie pulse becomes more full aud soft, then only a tea
spoouful, to be discontinued as the fever subsides. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difllcult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should lie lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with tlie “ Fluid” anil repeat as may he neces
sary till it operates; enemas (iujectlnns) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
frietion (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may he added to tlie
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. Bee Synopsis.
Nervous Kever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Kever,
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being ail of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great deproeiion, there is
uo practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little pationce will be required; still
comparatively little, ns they frequently ran weeks under
tlie common treatment, while with this but a few days
will b* necessary at longest to establish a permanent
ceuvalescence.
The treatment should he commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teiwpounhil of “ Fluid’’ every two hours, till the pulse
h'-eom., full#, or larger in volume, then to be continued
see in in ei eight hour* till u-e fever entirely subsides.
In bud cases, from three to five grains each of ijuinine
aud capsicum (Cayenne pepper; or some tonic and stiinu
lu.ii t (see auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. The
bowols should be kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should bo very loose. The patient
should bo sustained by nourishing and mucilageuous
drinks—such os arc in common use in such eases.—
Whore the skin is very dry, sponging the surtace as di
rected in bilious fever, will lie found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in uil cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, hung
or Winter Kever.
(Jive a teaspoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of Ixmeset; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours.
The houeset tea should bo given warm till the violeut
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep tlie
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rulieoln and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Kever.
As all of these diseases are attended \\ itli fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, tin. treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name.,” whether it is one or tlie
other, or neither, as they sll commence with Jerer, 101 l
treat it at once; govern tlie fever and there will he no
trouble; there will be but little eruption oven in siimil
pox. This, to most mimhq_ixa iuiw ides, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will be cut short ; attended with Inti, little erup
tion; little or no pitting, and tiiut there i.i no necessity ot
its running its ordinary course. On this I will stake
not only my reputation, but all that I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 374:
“ Von may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Herein the admission tlmt it may
he dune. 1 nave not only proven it maybe, hut Inis
been done in numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
Give a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once in two bouts il necessary, until tlie feversub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
hut it should be given and repeated stifliciently to koop
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may he used, and the
siirfaco bathed, as thought advisable.
Iu one case, on tlie ship Duchess (l’Urlcans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid on iiis tongue, drop by drop, till hecould swallow,
when it was given in teaspoouful doses carry hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by tlie Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best gargle, in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Kever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of u
teuapoonful, almost invariably giviug entire anil per
manent relief; uo alarm need he entertained, as tlie
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as lung as the fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
in connection with tliis subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
tlie ladles, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of tlie happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing unit
Soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difliculties; it must he tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken ata delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use ; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for mauy of the ills of females, if not
the most soofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing alt excitability
and iritability of the nervous us well as the circulatory.
It will not forco sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; lienee its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, aud condense the treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue anil
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo 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 ix-cur in any cuse, they should
he appropriate means, aud these sohuld be given while
giving tlie “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, us they will then more readily uct,
producing more general effect, besides uo unnecessary
time will then he lost. As the *,Fluid” aloue will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give u cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the lirst dose, or soon after, ami should it
fail to operate iu due timo, repeat the dose; if attended
witli liiarrhtea, give something known to be good for
that complaiut, 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 the part; if
violent pain iu tlie 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 bntho the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief ami aid the medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if tlie patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in Hbsenco of fever or when indicated; nlso,
during convalescence, when the patient Ims 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 this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stowuch has settled, give the “ Fluid” uml a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other cireumstances, giviug the
“Fluid” at the same 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 ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant V.y
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to he tully understood by
all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
C'atliartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many pills, antibiliuus, Ac.; anything
known to lie good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.— Anything known to act on the liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on 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. Aud one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, anil so on; each may take his choice and he suc
cessful.
Tonics.— Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone
set or thoronghwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. Ixtmlanuni aud 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. These are the only classes necessa
ry in treatiug 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 medico.
I shall uot tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on tho results of a trial, ami will
only rofer to one instance of success, that on the
Packetslilp Duchess D'Orleans.
which cannot Ixi classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
We took passage ou the packotship Duchess d’Orleaus,
Oapt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France,
and bound fur 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 tlie physician in charge, Dr. N. W Seat, w ith
anew remedy of Ids own, which lie calls Negative Elec
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 tlie voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there wore about eighty cases of small pox, some fever
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured w ith unu
sual promptness.
Fretu what we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion, possesses Inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled w ith
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the uunte. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on Wrd, aud not a death! The*
fact speaks for itself.

HAVE received the appointment from the proprietor
for the sole agency of
Woodman's Cherry Expectorant,
the medicine that has created such an excitement at the
North among the Physieians, and has been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to any

tnins the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesumine,
the pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it tar better than any
other Cough Medicine iu this country.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
New OtiLKANs. April 9, 1855.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware 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 tliis note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
Heal Use iu Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most nuprofcssionally,nnd 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 1 have
used with more success than any Os the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., Slay 1, 1855.
0. O. Woodman —Dear Sir; l have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article I ever met w ith. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles bv the bearer. Respectfully,
W. SI. Mason, SI. D.
This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias 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 be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of tlie medical fraternity, it is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or tlie money refunded. We guaran
tee it to bo better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant
