    ,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.
TABLE OF DOSES,

“ “ 5 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50

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.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under tlie titles
of Sursapurillas, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are

who are afflicted, to use one tliat contains articles of
Heal Use ill Ihilmonary Diseases. lam conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most uiiprofessionally.nnd deroga
torily to tlie interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of Mcdiciue. I refer to Woodman’s Cherry

This preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success w hich bus attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolv nt
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 lie found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive powers in proper tone.
Kememher 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 bolt Iu is warranted
