.’icJGAA’iVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prtpured by N, W. Seat, M. D.
.mu> why it should bu used instead of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections:
I st.--Economy of Time,—As only one-seventh
i the ordinary time is required to effect a cure.
iil.-Urunomy of fflouey, —As it costs but one
dollar.
drift,—Gimniimy of Feeling.--As it saves the
• ullering of a long sickness mid the consequent treat
ment ; the annoyance of taking uauseatiug doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of
long confinement; but little of the Quid being necessary,
>od that pleasant iu its effects.
Ith, — Jficonomy of Thought, —As when
kunwu, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
ftth.— Gcouomy of HealtH.—As the system
i not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to be followed by chronic disease.
Glia,—Economy of Life.—As the cure isefl'ected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal
termination.
i fther reasons might be added, but these are deemed
luffic-ient to satisfy all classes anil persons in ail condi
tions of life.
The above reasons ai\ mole particularly applicable to
the iimiiediute treatment on tbe first attack, but will
apply with equal force to cases wbicli have been subject
ed to or have become reduced, corresponding of course
o tbe nature of the case at the time it is first adminis
tered.
As tins remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relicl. in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they bad
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
wnr i not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing in consequence—it would have passed off witli
,,ui anything—that medicine had uoeffect.” The general
impression on 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 sll; and it is not until
• le individual has w itnessed many cases tout be can fully
.ealize tile truth; and even then he may conclude them
ail very 11 isling cases, which would bare readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there wiii cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though success,ul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the Influence of the “ Fluid” passes
off, us tile exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment lit such cases that I have given
and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.”
Remarks on Fevers in General*
On this subject I wish to be fully understood, liy the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of causes, and in 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 in ths circulatory and
uervous 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 celebrafed Fros. T. Watson,
of King s College, London, whose work on the “ Princi
ples and Practice Os I’hystc” is a text hook in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently standardauthority.
On page 834, he says:—“We hear continually, both iu
and out of the profession, diffeient species of fever spo
ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fevor, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular:
Uucou* Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-F.nteric, and
so forth. Now, admitting that fevor shows itself under
vurious forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of ail this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre-
M'ribo for a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, oven the most dissimilar of them, anil are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
auil I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling youiself about a “ name;” if you have
lover, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
mill be well iustead of any distinctcharacter being devel
oped, so ns to he properly named by the most scientific.
This 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, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
und treat at once without regard to name, and rest
ussured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be
come 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 bo pursued iu
all of the most promiuent fevers, though the “ Rules”
aud “ Synopsis” will he amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
hub’s important to be observed in all cases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be givou in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
2d. Patients must he free from all currents of air,
(though there should always ho free Teutilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while uuder its in
fluence.
lid. 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 uuder any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
he left perfectly quiet; free from ail 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 all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, iu
which they may feel more or loss interested, hut he left
quiet to till intents and purposes.
Mb. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it us
plentifully, and as long us the patient dosircs and 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
fuintness while in tha lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever lias passed off, or enough to
cceaaiou 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 he bathed iu cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES,
i children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 anil under 2 years, “ 6to 15 “
“ “ 2 “ 5 “ “ 12 to 30
“ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 “
“ * “ 15 half to a teaspoouful.
411 persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
k teaspoouful is a cominou dose. Old persons do not
lequire 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 giving it to
children—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 more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
he found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
of the most sanguine realized, and mauy perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may ho obtained, and
aot on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
ltlllous or Remittent Fever.
Give a teasponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
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 set forth iu the
•• Rules.” But should there he 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 a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
Brst portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a doable dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, aud even repeated
in two hours—if it—the pulse—has uot been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surfaco with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
eater, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Give two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse become, more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside*. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
.ery difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should ho lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the “Fluid” and repeat as may he necee
•ary 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 be added to the
” Fluid” If thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Narvons Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these lever* are all of one character, differing
uialnly in degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse
small aDd wiry, with a general great 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 he required; still
comparatively little, me they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will le necessary at longest to establish a permanent
cenvalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of •‘Fluid” every two hours, till tbe pulse
bosoms, fuller or leiger in volume, then to be oontinued
i see in nix er eight hoars till tAe fever entirely subsides.
Iu bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine
aud capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic aud stimu
lant (see auxiliaries) should he added to each dose. The
bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should he given occasionally, even
though the bowels should ho very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing and mucilageuous
drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.—
Where the akin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should he used during convalescence, iu all cases
which huve become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
Give a teaspoonful of the “ Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or
half the quantity may he given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say once iu six or eight iiours.
The boneset tea should he given warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then
cold; fomentations, mustard piaster, or something of
the kind, to he applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tinal or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “■name,’’ whether it is one or the
other, or neither, as they all commence with fever, hut
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no
trouble; there will he but little eruption even iu small
pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless
will he regarded witli ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
I direct, will be cat short; attended with but little erup
tion ; little or no pitting, aud that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On this i will stake
not only my repututiou, hut a.l that I hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874:
“ You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, aud
keep down, it is believed, the number if the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may
be done. 1 nave uot only proven it may be, hut has
been done iu numerous cases that occurred on hoard
ship. See the account appended.
Give a teaspoouful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the feversuh
sides—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient;
hut it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may he used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue
and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could
uot 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 bo as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle in all 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, us to seem
to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as the lever continues, as iu other cases.
The bowels of course should he attended to.
Iu connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and sutferiug. It
is to inform them of the huppy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing aud
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficultiest it must he tried to he appreciated.—
l’aiuful menstruation will he relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for mauy of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritahility of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sooth aud
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally aud
healthy; lienee its use in 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 fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may ho or ought to he 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 he removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
he appropriate means, and these soliuid be given while
giving the “ Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion roquires, 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, X call all else auxiliary treatment.
If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, aud should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to he good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“ Fluid” will soou relieve that coudition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard piaster, 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 iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with wator at au agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits und
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 tias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give 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 he
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 has settled, give the “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving 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 by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. I have found ho such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to he fully understood by
all, I will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine I have referred to, viz:—
A at liarttcs.—Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and mauy pills, autihilious, Ac.; anything
known 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 uuder 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 and he suc
cessful.
Tonic*.— Articles that give tone or strength, such
as quinine, various harks, roots and hitter herbs. Bone
sci or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers.
Astringent*. —Such as check the action of the
bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are
used; also, mauy mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have the effect.
Stimulant*. —Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hurtsliorn. Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are the ouly classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known in the materia medica.
1 ahull not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly ou the results of a trial, and will
ouly refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packetshlp Duchei* D'Orlean*.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz
We took passage ou the pucketship Duchess d'Orleans,
Capt Hutton, then lying in th* port of Havre, France,
and hound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust, 1851, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the smal'l
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
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty coses of small pox. some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
Frem 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 with
so much euse, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, aud not a death! The
fact speaks for itself.

by all who have used it us being far superior to auy

the pure decoction of Wild Cherry Bark, and mauy other
valuable Ingredients that render it far better than any
other Cough Medicine in this country.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
New Orleans, April 9, 1855.
Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of ihe
thousands of remediesfor Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillas, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their uotice through the newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of
heal b'se in Pulmonary Diseases. I aiu conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most uuprofessionally, and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mediciue. I refer to Woodmau's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used with more success than any of the usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitland, M. D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1855.
O. O. Woodman —Dear Sir; I have given your Cherry
Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased witli 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 has attained a wide celebrity from
the uuiversal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties ns 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 he found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that
lias stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of. and recommended by the loading
Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant
