Ji’ JbiGATI VE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by Hi. W. Seat, M- D.
i;itu-mi, why It should bo used instead of any other treat
ment in nil Febrile affections:
Ist.— Kcouoiuy of Time.— Aa only wswenatt
.! the ordinary time in required to effect a cure.
Id.—Kconomy of Money- As it cut* but out
dollar.
3rd.—Economy of Feeling.— As it oaves the
suffering of a loug sickness and the consequent treat
ment ; tho aunoyanco ol taking nauseating dose* of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
lung confinement; but little of tho fluid being necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4tii. — Economy of Thought. —As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
•misting, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
Dili. — Economy of Health. —As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to he followed by chronic disease.
Oth.— Economy of Life. —As thecure is effected
before and without reducing tike patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
Other reasons might bo added, but these are deemed
sullioiont to satisfy all classos and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
tho immediate treatment on the tirst attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to’ or have become reduced, corresponding of course
♦,o the nature ol'tlie case at tho time it is lirst adminis
tered.
.Vs this remedy gi /es so prompt, cffoctual and perma
nent relict', ill all ordinary cases, when used Siam after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
won not attacked with fever, nud if so, “it was trifling
a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had uoeffect.” The general
impression ou the subject of fever is such, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
as naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
*‘io individual has witnessed many eases that he can fully
.culize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
all very tiifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur win-re there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
utieiitiou, or though success.ul ill reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes
oil, itH tite exciting cause may still exist. It i* to guard
against disappointment in suen cases that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remark* ou Fever* tu General-
On this subject I wish to be fully understood. By the
term “ levers,” 1 comprehend ull febrile affections to
which tho human frame is subjuct, including small pox
and uther eruptive fevon; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, aud in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of course differ considerably in their
development aud exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in tho circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skill,
debility, Ac.
To show that 1 ain not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, 1 quote from the celebrafed Prof. T. Watson,
ul King’s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ples aud Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standard authority.
lju page KIU. he says:—“We hear continually, both in
aud 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,
Ac. Anil systematic writers are to the full as particular:
kliicous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Euteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 am persuaded tiiat the effect upon tho
mind of ail this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro
scribe for u disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, aud are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
aud I would impress on your minds tho folly of hunting
up or troubling youiself about a “name;” if you have
lever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, aud you
Mill be well instead of any distinctchuracter being devel
oped, so as to he properly named by the most scientific.
Tins assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, uye, thousands of cuses
(by 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 you will soon he freed from all dread of liuger
ing and dangerous fevers. But us cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under somo othor treatment, I will describe
us briefly as possible tho proper course to he pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules”
aud “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Kales important to be obserxed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric fluid.
Ist. It should be given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air,
(though there should always ho free ventilatiou in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
ad. It must ho continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such he the case under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
ho left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not ho questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of ail extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, hut ho left
quitH to all intents and purposes.
sth. 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 muy prefer or patients desire.
titb. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after tho 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
lueast may he bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
n teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not
require os much as young, or those in the prime of life;
nor females, as u general rule, aa much as males.
Thera Is no particular care necessary iu giving it to
children —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; but for a little guide, 1 have given tho
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
tie found agreeable iu all of its effects, the expectations
of tlie most sanguine realized, aud mauy perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicinu may be obtained, aud
not ou account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
Bilious or Remittent Fever,
(live a teaspouful 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
lever, with such observances as are sot forth iu the
•• Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms. or known local existing causes, they should lie
attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
If iu any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
tirst portion; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, aud the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—s double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at tirst witii advantage, and even repeated
in two hours—if it—tho pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surfuco with water at an agreeable
temperature, tlie saline wash, vinegar or spirit* nd
water, in those difficult case*, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Hive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse become* more full and *oft, then only a tea
apoonful, to be discontinued as tho fever subsides. A*
ttie bowels are generally routined, and It is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should he lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may he neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, raid
applications to the head. Quinine may he added to the
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. Bee 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 i*
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
uit treatment Is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still
emuparstively little, as they frequentlv run weeks under
thr common treatment, while with this but a few days
will he necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—whieh may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
teaepouaful of “ Fluid” every two honre, till the pulee
Ib Oome. taller or laiger in volume, then to be continued
aoe in sis or eight hours till tke fever entirely subsides.
j In bad cases, frotn three to five grains each of t/uininc.
and capsicum (Cayenne pepperj or some tonic aud stiiuu-
I laut (see auxiliaries ) should he added to each dose. Tlie
bowels should he kept gently open, aud small portions
of some hepatic should he given occasionally, even
though the bowels should lie very loose. The patient
should he sustained by nourishing and mucilage-nous
drinks—such us are in common use iu such cases.—
Where tlie skin is very dry, sponging the surface us di
rected iu bilious lever, will he found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, in all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(Jive a tcaspoouful of tho “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of houeset; or
half the quantity may he given every hour till relieved,
then, ut longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours.
The bonsset tea should bo given warm till tlie violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of
the kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently opeu.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tinal or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are uttended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common levers. Remember
never wait to learn the “ no me,” whether it is one or tlie
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hilt
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no
trouble; there will he but little eruption even in small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew ideu, and doubtless
will he regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 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 litis I will stake
not only my reputation, but ail that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that ol’
ITof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“You may abate the force of tlie eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tho admission that it muy
be done. I have not only proven it may be, hut has
been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. See the account appended.
(Jive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessury, until the feversuh
sides—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient;
hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
tlie fever under control. When tlie throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the
surface bathed, us thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess ((’Orleans, tlie tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping tlie
Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when ii was given in teaspoonful 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 tlie Fluid alone.—
llßed to wot tho throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie
best gargle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.,
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
mulaily to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to tlie
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two ol’ a
teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire aud per
manent relief; no alarm need tie entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should he re
peated as long as tlie fever continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
Iu connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remurks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, 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 and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
aud difficulties; it must he tried to he appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will he relieved at once by a com
mon dose aud 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 remedios for many of tlie ills of females; if not
the most so ofany medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
aud iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not forco sleep like opiates, but it will sootli and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally ami
healthy; hence its use iu so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat
ment as much as possible, I give under this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change tho condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may he or ought to ho called, it should he given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot he 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 sohuld he given while
giviug the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, wheu
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 the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the tirst 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 by irritability, tho
“ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu 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 iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saliue wash,” vinegar ami water or spirits ami
water, either will afford great relief aud 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, give tonics aud stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the putieut has become re
duced ; if there is nausea aud vomiting, that must he
allayed before any medicine will reumiu 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 answe.r every purpose; wheu tlie
stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as y ou would under any other cireumstances, giving tlie
“ Fluid” at the sume time as directed, and success will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, anil then you wilt he astonished at tlie ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartic*, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, I will name a tew of the 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, auy of tlie roots
or barks, and many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything
know n to he 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 this 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, podopliyllln—the fourth, tnandrako
root, ami so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Rone
se: or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers
Astringents.—Such as check the action of the
bowels. laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlie effect.
Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie best;
gingci, 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
“ iedativo” than known iu tho materia medico.
I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs
dapeuding mainly on tho results of a trial, anil will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packetshlp Duchess D'Orlean*.

We, the undersigned, certify to the following viz—
n e took passage ou the packetsliip Duchess d’Orleans
Capt Hutton, then lying in the port of Havre, Fiance’
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1801, with over a hundred souls on board niostlv
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants, They were all
treated by the physician in charge. Dr. N. W Seat with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative ’ Elec

During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine davs
there wereahout eighty cases of small pox, some fever’

Freni what we saw during said passage, we are fullv

Made by Prof. O. O. Woodman.
New Orleans, Louisiana.
J. S. PEMBERTON <fc CO.,
HAVE received the appointment from tlie proprietor
for tho sole agency of
Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant,
the medicine tiiat has created such an excitement at the
North among the Physieians, and lias been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to auy
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman's Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesamine,
the pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and many other
valuable ingredients that render it far better than any
other Cough Medicine in this country.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Orleans, April. 9, 1865.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of iho
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparilla*, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object iu writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afllicted, to use one that contains .articles of
Kent Use in Pulmonary Diseases. lam conscious tiiat in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessionally, and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science aud the regular
Practitioners of Mediciue. I refer to Woodman’s Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that I have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., Slay 1, 1855.
0. 0. Woodman— Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased witii 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 hearer. Respectfully,
IV. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, auy pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar'properties ns a dissolvent
and its soothing pow er to all irritations of tho throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also he found excellent, its natural and genial.warmth
keepiug the digestive powers in proper tone. ‘
Remember that this is tlie only Cough Medicine’ that
has stood the test of tlie medicai 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 he better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil, or anything else now extant
