NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by ST. W. Seat, M. D.
l.mMNi* why it should bo used Instead of any other treat -
ment in all Febrile affection*:
1 at.— Economy of Time, — As only vne-seoenth
.1 the ordinary time Is required to effect a cure.
til—Kconomy of Moneye-Ai it cut* but one
dollar.
llrd.—Kconomy of Feeling —As It saves the
suffering of a long sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long conti neincut; hut little of the fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
Ith. Kconomy of Thought.— As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
listing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
sth.— Kconomy of Health. —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to lie followed by chronic disease.
Oth. — Kconomy of Life. —As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, ill n corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed
.ulhcsent to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the lirst attack, hilt will
apply with equal force to cases wliirli have been sutiject
.l to or have become reduced, corresponding ol course
•o the nature of tbs case at the time it is lirst adminis
tered.
tills remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tin y
wen not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, whicli gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed oft with
out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general
impression on the subject of fever is such, tliat thoughts
not unlike tile above follow tile cure of a common case
as naturally as meu think at all; and it is not until
‘he individual has witnessed many cuscstliat lie can fully
.ealise the truth; mid even then he may conclude them
all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to liny simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
lie> ii 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, ill in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes
off, us the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in suen cases tliat I have given
and frequently referto whnt I have called a ‘‘synopsis.”
Htmsrki on Fever* In General*
Uu this subject 1 wish to be fully understood. Ity the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which tlio human frame is subject, including smalt pox
and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and liubits, limy 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— tliat o! 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, Ac.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
ul King's College, London, whose work on the “ Prlncl
idea and Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
■ iur medical colleges, and consequently ilandanlauthority.
On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both in
and out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. lly the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious F'ever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Mucmn Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gastro-Knteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded tliat the effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe for n disease according to its 7ianu. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can be relied on. They rnn insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress on your minds tiie folly of hunting
up or troubling you. self about a “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at ouce as hereafter directed, and you
willbe well instead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
lious or visions of mind, but on experience nt the bed
side of the sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
thy myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
iug and dangerous fevers, lint as cases may have be
. ome developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly ns possible the proper course to be pursued iu
ail of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Itules important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric f'luul.
Ist. It should bo given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be freo from all currents of air,
(though there should always ho free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while umler its in
ffueuco.
ltd. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
bugins to rise again, should such be the case under uny
circumstances.
4th. Wlien tile fever begins to subside, patients must
ho 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,
dll their own natural feelings, independent of nil extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation bo allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but be left
quiet to all intents and purposes.
sth. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long us the patient desires anil no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
6th. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in tlis lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little
spirit, ginger, or gome other stimulant; or the face and
breast may he bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES,
r children of one your or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 2 years, “ sto 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30 “
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “
“ “ 8 “ 15 half to a teuspoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
h teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require as much as young, or those in the prime of life;
uor females, as a general rule, as mud) as males.
There is no particular care necessary iu giving it to
diildrou —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide, I have given the
above table, with the remark that, as a general rule,
children require morn than adults iu proportion.
lly observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable iu nil of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly
astonished. My object iu being thus particular is, that
I lie full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, aud
not oil account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Kemlttent Fever.
(Jive a teaaponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off'; this
constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth in the
” Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, aud while giving the “ Fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
If in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
nr coufined, glvo a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever Is very high, pulse runuiug 110 or
upwards, and the patient is uot particularly susceptible
1.1 the influence of medicine—uot easily operated on by
medicine geuerall.v—a double dose, or two teospoonsful
may be given at first witli advantage, aud uveu repeated
m two bours—if it—the pulse—lias not been softened,
thus showing the medicine lias taken effect.
Bathiug the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, iu these difficult cases, will afford relief aud aid
tiie medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
(live two teospoonsful and repeat every two hours till
tiie pulso becomes more full and soft, then ouly a tea
spoonful, to he discontinued ns the fever subsidei. As
the bowels are generally confined, aud it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
uo 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 be
used to advantage: also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to the head. Quinine may he added to the
“ Field” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship and 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 great depression, there is
no practical use In separating them—at least so far as
toy 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
the common treatment, while with this hut a few days
will be aecsssary at longest to establish a permanent
convalesce tics.
The treatmeit should be commenced—whieh may
Immediately follow any other without detriment—with
ateoepounful of “ Fluid’’ every two hours, till the pnls*
b.soias. fuller or lai ger tu volume, then to be continued
a*e to sis er sight hours till o>e fever entirely subsides.
In bad casts*, from three to five grains each of quinine
and capsicum (Cayenne peppery or some tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries; should be added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gcutly open, aud small ]H>rtiou
of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even
though the bowels should lie vory loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous
drinks—suclt as are iu common use iu such cases.—
Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected iu bilious fever, will be found udvuntaguous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoouful of the Fluid” every two liourß,
with a wine-glassful ol a strong decoction of boneset; or
half the quantity may he given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say ouce in six or eight hours.
The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent
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 the
bowel* gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, ilubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of tlieso diseases are attended with fever, which
iu fact is tlio most prominent symptom, the trentment
differs hue little from tliat of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it Is one or tiie
other, or neither, as they all commence with /ever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will lie uo
trouble; there will be but UUle eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew bleu, and doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make tiie assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will bn cut short; attended with hut little erup
tion; little or no pitting, aud tliat there is nu necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will slake
not only my reputation, lint a.I tliat 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number nj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tiie admission that it may
be done. 1 nave uot only proven it may be, but has
been dotio iu uumerous eases tliat occurred on board
ship, See tlio account appended.
(live a teaspoouful or more, according to tiie urgency
of tiie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tiie
Fluid ouce in two hours if necessary, until the leversub
sUloh—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient;
but it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When tiie throat is affected,
any of tiie ordinary gargles may he used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
I u one case, on tiie ship Duchess d’Orleans, tiie tongue
aud faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoouful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment iu about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless tiie
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.,
This heretofore painful, daugerous ami alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with sucli readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single close or two of a
teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entile aud per
manent relief; no ularm need lie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re
peated us long as tile f*<ver continues, as in 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
the ladies, will save them much pain aud suffering. It
is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will bo relieved at ouce by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of tlio most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of tiie ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxiug tiie whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous ax well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy; hence its use iu so many 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 the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called tever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may he or ought to lie called, it should he giveu
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 iu any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuld be giveu while
giviug the “Fluid,” and iu couuection with it, when
occasion requires, us they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then he lost. As the *, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costivo, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon 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, tiie
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
(iaiu or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the 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 the
whole surface with water at au agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar ami 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 patient has been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fovorß, 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 be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach lias settled, give the “Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, 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 thon you will be astonished ut tlio ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to ho fully understood by
all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or harks, and many pills, antlbilious, Ac.; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Ilepattcs.—Anything known to act on tho liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer wheu usod in connection
with the “Fluid” or while tiie system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice aud be suc
cessful.
Tunica.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Roue,
set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringent a.—Such as check the action of the
laiwels. Laudanum aud other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is ouo of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are tiie 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” tliau known in tho materia medial.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on tiie
Packet ship Durliess D’Orleans.
which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz—
We took passage on tho packetship Duchess d'Orleuns,
Capt Hutton, then lying in 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, tiie small
pox broke out among tlio emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician iu charge, Dr. N. W. Seat, with
anew remedy ofhis own, which he 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 tiie voyage, which lasted thirty-nine davs,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fev'er
Ac., and net a single death. All wore cured with uuu
sual promptness.
From what we shw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat ou the oc
casion. possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
•o nineh ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a death! The’
faet speaks for itself.

Dear Sir—The public gcnerall* are fully aware of ilio
thousands of remediesfor Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsapariilas, Pills, Plasters, Liuhnents, 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, lo use one that, contains articles of
Heal Use in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessionully, and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mediciuo. I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientilic remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by the bearer. Respectfully, •

This preparation has 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 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 jKiwers in 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 bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. M e guaran

Oil. or anything else now extant
