,fJs;GA.iTVE ELECTRIC FLUID* Prepared by N. W. Seat, M. D- I. moons why it should be used instead of any other tret t mcnt iu all Febrile affections: Ist .~Kcoiioiii y of Time.—As only one-tea* nth .1 the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. td.Kconomy of Money.—As it costs but one dollar. Krd.—Ucunoiuy of Feliug.--A it saver , the s tillering of a long sickness and tlio consequent treat ment ; the annoyance of* taking nauseating do ,es of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the p ain of long coulinouiont; but little of tho fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in its effects. 4th.—Kconomy of Thought.—As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present misting, respecting febrile affections; particularly while .t dear friend is sick. .41 ll* —Kconomy of Health.—As the system is not reduced, anil consequently racked; nor is tlio fever subject to be followed by chronic disease. Ath.—Economy of Life.—As tho cure is effected before and without reducing the patient, consequently requiring, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. • Other reasons might bo added, but tlicso are deemed sulUeieut to satisfy all classes utid persons in all condi tions of life. The above reasons ar • more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed U> or have become reduced, corresponding of cuurso •o the nature of the case at tho time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, In all ordinary cases, when used soon after llic attack, |mrai>ri* can scarcely realize that they hud i,eon really much sick, and very naturally conclude they wjtrj not attacked with fever, ami if so, “it was trifling a tittle cold, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing ol cmisequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that modicino had noellect.” 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 all; and it is not until * *ie individual has witnessed many cases that lie can fully .ealize flu* truth; and even then he limy conclude them all very ti itiing cases, which would have readily yielded to Hiiy simple medicine, yet persons, though they huve been thus successful iu perhaps hundreds of cases, must •spent that there will cases uccur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success.ul iu reducing the fever, it will again rise as the influence of the ‘‘Fluid” passes off, as the exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that I have given and frequently refer to what I have called a “ synopsis.” Hninnrka on Fevers In General* Uu this subject ( wish to be fully understood. Ily the term “ fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which tho human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quitir dissimilar constitutions ami habits, they of course differ considerably in their ■i velopuient and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by tho same general character istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency In the pulse, sense of boat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, 1 quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, ul King’s College, Condon, whose work on the “ l'rinci nles and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of • air medical colleges, and consequently standard authority. on page 834, be says:—“We hear continually, both iu aud out of tlin profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Uy tile public, Typhus Fever, brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Cow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to tlio full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gaatro-Enteiic, and *o forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad anil hurtful. It encourages u disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be railed on. They rnu insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often liuceable to the same cause.” the above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance uud I would imprest on your minds the folly of bunting aip or troubling yourself about u “ name,;” if you have lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, aud you Mill be well instead ofauy distinctcharacter being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed sole of the sick, iu hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great varioty of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this iu mind, uutl treat at once without regard to name , and rest assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger ing uud dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the “Fluid” is given, either by ueglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe us briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the moat prominent fevers, though the “ Kules” aud “ Synopsis” will be amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon the sick. Uutes important to be observed in all cases in using the Negative Klectric Fluid. Ist. It should be given iu three or four times its own quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at pleasure, 2d. Patients must be free from all currents of air, t though there should always bo free ventilation in the su-k room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in fiuence. 3d. It must bo eon tin ued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begins to rise again, should such lie the ease under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should uot bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of ull extra neous influences, ituluce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their bearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, but be left qtiiei to all intents amt purposes. 6th. Fluids should he allowed, while giving it as pleutifully, and as long as the patient desires 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. tlth. Should patients experience any oppression or tsiutuess while in th* lying posture, so as to occasion u icstlossucss after the fever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should huve a little wiue, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or tho face and breast maybe bathed iu cold water; either of which will give immediate relief.

All persona over fifteen cousidered as adults, for whom n teaspoouful Is a common dose. Old persous do not icq(lire as much as young, or those iu the prime of life” in i’ females, as a general rule, as much as males. There la no particular caro necessary iu giving it to children —those often years of age frequently haviug taken full doses; hut for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with the remark that, as a general rubs tiildren require more than adults iu proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will tie found agreeable in all of ito effects, the expectations us the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of the medicine may be obtained, aud i.ot on account ofauy actual necessity of auch strict ob servances. Bilious or Kcuilttent Fever. Give a teaapoiiful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever ia evideutly passing off; this . oustitutes tlie whole treatment iu all simple rases us lever, 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 givlug the “ Fluid.” Bcw Synopsis. If in any case tho bowels are par ticularly constipated et confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion; they must beepoued or the fever may rise again. Where tho fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is uot particularly susceptible tu tho influence of medicine—uot easily operated ou by medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful may be given at first with advantage, and even nqieatcd iu two hours—if it —the pulse—has not been softened, (bus showing the medicine has taken effect, Itiilhiug the surface with wuter st an agreeable temperature, tlie saliue wash, vinegar or spirits aud water, in these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much in taking effect. Congestive Fever. Give two Icaspoonsful and repeet every Iwo hours till the pulse becomes more full aud soft, then ouly a tea • imkiuDil, to he discontinued as the fever subsidei. As tbs bowels are generally confined, and It is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, uu time should be lost to get them open, give some active atlmrtic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be ueces *nry till it operates; enemas (injections) may also be u-ed to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or Iriction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to the head. Quinine may be added to the ‘* fluid” if thought advisable, Bee Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship ami Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly iu degree, being all of a low grade, the pulse •mall and wiry, with a general great depression, there is uo practical use iu separating them—at least so far as my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when tally developed, a little patience will lie required: still ■ ■omparatlvely little, as they frequently run weeks under the common traatment, while with this but a few (lays will necessary at longest to establish a permanent ti>a?a)ii>omct. The treatment should be commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a tenspooafnt of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse te-oouies fuller er larger to volume, then to be continued see lu tia er eight hours till the fever entirely lulwidea In bad cases, from three to five grains each of quinine ail 1 capsicum ;Cayenne pepper; or some tonic aud stimu lant (see auxiliaries; should be added to each dose. Tho bowels should be kept gently open, and small portions of some hepatic should be given occasionally, even though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and mucilageuous drinks—such as are in common use in such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous. Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu ull cases which have become reduced. Pneumonia, Typlioiti Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever- Give a teaspoouful of the “ Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueaet; or half the quantity may lie given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, say once in six or eight hours. The lioneset 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 bowels gently open. _ Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and ticarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment diffets hue little from that of common levers, liemumher never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, ns they all commence with fever, but treat it at once; govern tlio lever and there will be no trouble; there will be but tulle eruption even in smull pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless wilt bo regarded with ridicule by many, i nevertheless boldly make the assertion, tliat small pox, if treated us I direct, will be cut short; uttended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, aud that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this 1 will stake not only my reputation, buta.l that 1 bold most dear; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874: “You may abate the force of the eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, tile number oj the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. I nave not only proven it maybe, but has been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. Give a teaspoouful or more, according to tile urgency oi tlie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until tho foversub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but It should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. W hen the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface balked, os thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d'Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, aud lie was cured by dropping the Fluid on bis tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of tlio throat was reduced so 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 tlie Negative Klectric Fluid with such readiness, as 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 be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as iu other cases. Tlie bowels of course should be attended to. In 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 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 tlio labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— l’aiuful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Kestlessness, nervous irritability, or a cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and ellectuui remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so ofauy medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of tho nervous as well as tho circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sootli and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tho treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change tlie condition called lever, or subduo and control it under all circumstances, without regard to the name it may boor ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot Im ex pected to control ull 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, aud these eohuld bo given while giving tlie “Fluid,” uud in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides uo unnecessary time will then be lost. As the Fluid” alone will sub due tlie fever, 1 call all elsft auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give u cathartic (see auxili aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, aud should it fail to operate iu due time, repeat tlie dose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something kuown to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the ” Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulatiug liniment, u mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if violent pain in tlio head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tho feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, witli great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water At an agreeable temperature; “tlio saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits aud 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 lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, iu 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 ou 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 stonnu-h has settled, give tlie “ Fluid” aud a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms us you would under any other cireunmtances, giving tlio ” Fluid” at the same time as directed, aud success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, aud then you will bo astonished at the ease witli which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. I’artics may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using tho Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, 1 will mime u lew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have reforrod to, viz:— Cat Hart tcs.— Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, aud many pills, antibilious, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. Hepntica.—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 witli tlio “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And ouo may choose calomel—another, blue muss—the third, podopliylliti—the fourth, mandrako root, and so on; each may take liis choice and be suc cessful. Tonic*.— Articles that give tone or strength, such ns quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or tlioroughwort is one of the best used iu fevers. Aatrtngenta.—Such as check the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, uot properly astringents, w hich have the effect. Stimulants. —Articles tiiat ruise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more or less stimulating. These ure tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a bet'or “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” ” relaxant” and “sedative” than known in tho materia medica. I shall uot tux the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on tlie Pnckctshtp Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz— We took passage ou the pocketship Duchess d’Orleaus Capt llutton, then lying iu tlio port of Havre, Franco and bound for New York. She sailed ou the 9th of Au gust, 1861, w ith over a hundred souls on board, mostly emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among tlie emigrants, Ijicy were all treated by tlio physician in charge, Dr. N. W. Best, with anew remedy oftiis own, which he calls Negative Klec tric Fluid, with which lu- seemed to have entire control over the disease, arresting It in a few hours, and curing iu a very short time. During tlie voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days • here were about eighty cases of smull pox, some fever Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu sual promptness. Frnt what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that tlie medicine used by Dr. Scat on the oc ession, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so littlo trouble to tho nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage, small pox and fever ou board, and not a death! The’ fact speaks for itself. Signed, K. I’. Fshki, 84 I’earl street, New York. K. 0. Kauri, •• “ “ “ J. A.
