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. Signed, K. P. Fabri, 84 Pearl street, New York. K. G.Fabri, “ “ “ “ J. A.

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.
