-tftSGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. I*.
i.ea-mus liy it should be used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections :
let.—Bconomy of Timer—Aa only one-seventh
>(’ the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
-i<l.--Kconomy of Money<—Aa it c.iiU but oue
dollar.
3rd.—Kconomy of Keeling.—As it save* the
nutteriug of a tout; sickness and the consequent treat
incut; tile annoyance of taking nauseating donee of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of tlio fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4lll.—Kconomy of Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
ixistiug, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
sth.—Kconomy of Health.—As the system
is nut reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the lever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
Gth.—Kconomy of Klfe.—As the euro is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all dangerof a fatal
termination.
Ollier reasons might lie added, bnt these are deemed
“iidb'senf to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions id’ lile.
i'i.e above reasons are more particularly applicable to
Uie immediate treatment on the first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which liuve been subject
<vl to or have become reduced, corresponding of couise
\o the nature ot the case at the time it is iirst adminis
tered.
As this ruiuudy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, In *ll ordinary cases, when used soou after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and vory naturally conclude they
Wen not attacked with fever, audit’ so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nulhing of consequence—it would have [sissed off with
out my thing—that medicine had no effect.” The general
Impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike tliu above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally us men think at all; and it is not until
*'te individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully
.eallze the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all vory trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
t<> any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that th ro wil. casus occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success.til in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the Influence of the “ fluid” passes
off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment to sticn cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I liuve called a “ synopsis.”
Krmarks on Fever* In General’
Du tins subject 1 wish to be fully understood, liy the
term “ fevers,” i comprehend all febrile affections to
which Hie human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
unit hubils, 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 ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Jtc.
To allow that I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, 1 quotu from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King’s College, London, whose work on the •• Priuci
Dies and Practice of Physic” is a text Imok in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
On page 834, ho 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, Low Fever, Nervous fever,
A-:. And systematic writers arc to the lull as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-F.nteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of ail tills sub-division, is bud 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,
tii.it can bo relied on. They rtui insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of thorn, and are often
t raceable to the same causo.”
Tho above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress oa your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling youi self about a “ name;” if you have
fever, treat it at ouee as hereafter directed, ami you
mill be well instead of any distinct character 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, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(bv myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured yon will soon bo freed from all dread of liuger
iug and dangerous fevers. But as cases may liuve he
i nine developed before the “ fluid” is given, cither by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible th* proper courso to lie pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the t‘ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Halts important In be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should bo given in throe or four times its own
quantity of wutor, and may bo sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
Ad. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such be the ease under any
circumstances.
4tli. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo 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 extru
ueous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation bo allowed in their bearing, in
which they may fool more or less interested, lint lie left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
uth. fluids sliouhl be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long us the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
dunks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, cither
cold or warm aa parties may prefer or patients desire.
Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in tha lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or somo other stimulant; or the face and
breast may lie 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 18 “
“ “ 2 “ 6 “ l2 to 30 “
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 80 “
“ “ 8 “ IS half to a teaspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a teaspoonful is a cotumou 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 of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; but for a little guide, 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
bo found agreeable in ull of itseffoota, tlie expectations
of ihe most sanguine realized, and many perfectly
nstimishod. My object in being thus particular is, that
ihe full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any artual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Ulllaua or Remittent Fever.
tiive a teasponful of “ fluid” (see rule Ist) utice in
two hours, till the fever Is evidently passing off'; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in the
‘• Rules.” Bnt should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, and while giving the “fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If iu any case tho bowels are particularly constipated
or coufined, give n cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse ruuuing 110 or
upwards, and tlie patient is not particularly susceptible
to tlie influence of medicine —not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two tcaspoousful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two hour*—lf it—tlie pulse—lias not been softeneil,
thus showing tho medicine lias taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeablo
tomparaturo, the saline wash, viuegar or spirit* and
water, in theso difficult cases, will afford relief anil aid
the medicine much iu taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(liv two teaspoousful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to bo discontinued as the fever tnbaldei. As
the bowels are generally confined, and 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 the “ fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with tlie hands or flan .el; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. Bee 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
small and wiry, with a general grant depression, there is
no practical use in 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, as they frequently run weeks under
tli common treatment, while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be com sis need—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment-—with
h t-a-pooaful of “ Fluid” every two honrs, till the pulse
heeopws MU*r or larger in volume, then to be continued
**• tu six or eight hour* till fever entirely subside*.
In bad rasas, from three tq five grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should be added to each done. The
bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should bo giveh occasionally, even
though the bowels should be very loose. Tho patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagenuus
drinks—such us are in common use iu sucli cases.—
Where tlie skill is very dry, sponging tho surlace as di
rected in bilious fever, wilt be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in ail cases
which have bec-ume reduced.
Pneumonia, TypUoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoonl'ul of tlie “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful ol a strong decoction of boueset; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
tiien, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
Tho boueset tea should be given wurm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard pluster, or something of
the kiud, to be applied over the scat 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 witli fever, which
in fact is tho most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common levers. Remember
never wait to learn tlie “ /tome,” whether it is olio or tlie
other, or neither, as they ull commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will be but little eruption even iu small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will lie regarded w ith ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make tlie assertion, that small pox, if treated as
t direct, will be. cut short ; attended with but little erup
tion ; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On tins f will stake
not only my reputation, hut ml that I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page b 74:
“Vou may abuto tlie force of tlie eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, tlie number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tliut it may
bo dono. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done iu numerous eases tliut occurred on board
ship, flee the account appended.
Give a teaspoonful or more, according to tlie urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tlie
Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until theieversub
sfdes—though one or two doses is genera-ly sufficient;
hut it should ho given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under eontrol. When the throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may be used, ami tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
Iu one case, on tlie ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and faur.ua were so much swollen that the patient could
uot swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
fluid on Ills tongue, drop by drop, till be could swallow,
when it was given iu teaspoonful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to euable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet tlie throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best gargle in ail 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 such readiness, as to seem
to be of little Consequence. A single dose or two of a
teuspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as the fever continues, as iu other cases.
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
(lie 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 he tried to be appreciated.—
Painful 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, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies fornmuy of the ills of females, if not
the most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will uot force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sloep naturally and
healthy; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment ns much as possible, I give under this head general
directions fur all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tlie condition called lever, or subdue ami
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may bo or ought to be 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 in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these soiiuld be given while
giviug tlio “fluid,” and iu connection witli it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due tho fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soou after, and 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 by irritability, the
“ Fluid” will soon relievo 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 in cold water, to tlie part; if
violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” viuegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble ; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, %ive tonics and stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tlie stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tlie
stomach has settled, give tlie “ Fluid” uud a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tiie
“Fluid” at the same time us directed, and success will
crown your elforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished at tlie ease
witli which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, 4c., as physicians are usually particular
about wit at is used. 1 have found ho such necessity
when using tlie Fluid, ami to be fully understood by
all, 1 will name a lew of tlie different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cathartic*.—Articles that purge or operate on tlie
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of tlie roots
or barks, and many pills, autibilious, 4c.; anything
kuown to be good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything kuown to act 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 while the system is under its in
fluence. And oue may choose calomel—another blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, uud so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonic*.— Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bouo
set or thoroughwort is one of tlie la-st used in fevers
Astringent*. —Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringent*

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ■ lie
thousands of remediesfor Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that art
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce ihe public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use oue that contains articles of
Heal L'se in Duhnonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessionally,and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and tlie regular
Practitioners of Mcdiciue. 1 refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is u scientific remedy that I have
used with more success titan any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

O. 0. 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 the bearer. Respectfully,
W. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation hits 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 tho throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it w ill
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is thu only Cough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, ami recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
