.tKvLki'lVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared by N. W. Seal, 31. 11.
ea.Niis why it should l> used iaftaut of any other treat
ment in all Febrile affections :
I at.— Economy of Time. —Ah only one.-seuenth
..l the ordinary time is requirial to effect a cure.
‘ld.—blcoitomy of Moßfye-Aii it costs but one
dollar.
drd.-Kcuiiumy of Keeling. —As it saves the
suffering of a long sickness uud the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and tile palu of
mug courtooiuent; but little of the Hui l being uecessury,
and that pleasant ill its effects.
4 111.— Economy of Thought.— -As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
listing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friuiul is sick.
5 Ml.— Kconomy of Health.—As the system
in not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever
subject to l followed by chronic disease.
tit h.—Economy of hlfe.-A* the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
ii moving, in n corresponding degree, all danger of u fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be kdded, but these are deemed
Htilllotent to satisfy alt classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons are more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the ilrst attack, but will
apply wit ii equal force to cases which have been subject
i and to or Imvu become reduced, corresponding of course
‘n t lie nature of the case at the time ills Ii ret adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, eifoctiml and perma
nent nlii-r, in all ordinary casus, when used soon alter
ihe attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude they
wen not attacked with fever, uud if so, “it was trilling
-a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nol lung of consequence—it would have passed off with
out anything—that medicine had noeffect,” The general
impression on the subject of fetor is Mich, that thoughts
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
n- naturally as men think at all; and it is not until
The individual has witnessed inaay eases that lie can fully
.ealize the truth; and even then ho may conclude them
ail very trifling cnees, which would liuve readily yielded
to nny simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
bt en llius successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is siime
organic ur local cause so great as to require particular
attention, or though suceesatul in reducing the fever,
it will again rise as the intiueuce of the “ Fluid’’ passes
off, as tiie exciting cause may still exist. It is to guard
against disappointment in suen coses that 1 have given
and frequently refer to what I have called u “synopsis.”
Remarks ou Fevers In General*
On this suiiject I wish to be fully understood, By the
luriii “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 habit h, they of course differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or typos;
yet all are distinguished by the same general character
istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency ill tlm pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To snow that l am not wholly alone in the opinion I
advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
ul King s College, London, whose work on the “ I'rinci
oleii and Practice of l’hysic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, aud consequently standardautharily.
On page 834, hosays:—“Wo hear continually, both in
Slid out of tlie protession, different species of fever spo
ken of. liy the public, Typhus Fever, limit! Fever,
lliiious Fever, l’utrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever,
.Vc. And systematic writers are to the full us particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uustro-Kntorlc, aud
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shown itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of ull tills sub-division, is bud and hurtful, it
encourages a 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 ran he relied on. They rmi insensibly iuto each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, anil ure often
ti ai cable to the same cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
and 1 would impress ou your miuds the folly of hunting
up or troubling yourself about u “name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be well instead of any distiiietcliaracter being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions nr visions of miud, but 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
iiiinstances, seasons and climates. Dear this in miud,
uud tieat at once without regard to name., and rest
assured you will soon be freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers, ltut as cases may have be
come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either liy
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper courso to he pursued in
ull of the most promlneut fevers, though tho “ Rules”
and “ Synopsis” will oo amply suftleiont for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.
Kales important to be. observed in aU cates in using the
Negative. Electric Fluid.
Ist. it should be given in three or four tiuios its own
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at
pleasure.
3d. Patients must he free from ail currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go übout while under its iu
lluouco.
3d. It must bo continued whenever the fover subsides,
pr is evidently passing oft'; to be resumed when it
begins In rise again, should such be the cuse under any
circumstances.
4th. When tho fover begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not bo questioned as to their wants or feeliugs, nor
attempt to convorse, road or take any exercise whatever,
till their ywn natural feelings, independent of all extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation bo allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, hut bo left
qiiiel to all intents and purposes.
Mb. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and uo
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
void or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire.
lith. Should patients experience nny oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
ustlessiiess after the fover 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, giuger, or some other stimulant; or the face ami
breast may he bathed iu cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

All persons over fltteeu considered as adults, for whom
„ tc.Aspooufui is a common dose. Old persons do not
require us 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 in giving it to
children —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; hut for a little guide, 1 liuve given the
alsive table, with the remark tliut, aa a general rule,
■ hildreu require more than adults iu proportion.
liy observing the above directions, the medicine will
be fouud agreeable in all of its effects, tho expectations
of the most sanguine realized, aiul many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, aud
not on account of any netted necessity of such strict ob
servances.
lliiious or Remittent Fever.
(Jive a teusponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in ull simple cases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth ill the
“ Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should be
attended to at once, aud while giving the “Fluid,”
flee SyuO|HUS.
if in any case the bowels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a eat hurtle (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they muat 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 inlinenee of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teoapooiisful
may he given at first with advantage, and even repeated
in two liuurn —if it—the pulse—hits not lieeu softened,
thus shewing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at ail agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits aud
water, in those difficult cases, will afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Uivetwo teaspoonsful and repeat every two houre till
the pulse becomes more full aud soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As
tlie bowels are generally confined, and it Is frequently
vary difficult to get medicine to operate In tlili disease,
uo time should he lost to get tiieni open, give some active
cathartic with tlie “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie
used to advantage; also, mustard to tlie extremities, or
frietion(rubbing) with the bands or flannel; also, eold
applications to the head. Quinine may he added to tlie
“ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fevrr, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, being ull of a low grade, tho pulse
small and 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 be required; still
comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
wilt he necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced—which may
immediately follow suy other without detriment with
a teaspooeful of “ Fluid” every two houre, till the pules
become, tullur or larger in volume, then to be continued
ace Tn ill er eight houre till toe fever entirely subsides.
Iu bad yiuij from Uimoto five grains each of quinine
aud capsicum ,Cayenne pepper) or sonic tonic and stimu
lant (see auxiliaries; should be added to each dose. The
buWels should lie kept gently open, and small portions
of some hepatic should be given occasionally, otcu
though the boWols should bo very loose. The patient
should be sustained by nourishing uud mucilogeuous
drinks—sucli as are iu cumuioii use in such casus.—
Where tho skin is very dry, spougiug the surface us di
rected in bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should be used during convalescence, iu ail oases
which have become reduced.
Pueuiuoata, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(Jive a teaspoonful of the “Fluid” every two hours,
witli a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boticset; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, say ones in six or eight hours.
Tho boneset tea should be giveu warm till the violent
symptoms are allayed, or tho 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 open.
Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola uml Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles,
and Scarlet Fever.
As all of these diseases are attended with fever, which
iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from tliut of common fevers. Remember
never wait to luurn the “name.,” whether it is one or tlie
other, or neither, as tiiey ull commence with fever, but
treat it at once; govern the fever and there will be uo
trouble; there will bo but little eruption even iu sola)]
pox. This, to most minds, is n new idea, ami doubtless
will be regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make tbe assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will be, cut short; attended with but little erup
tion; little ur no pitting, and tliut there is no neceesity of
its running its ordinary course. Un this I will stake
not only my reputation, but a 1 that 1 hold most dear;
besides, on this subject, I havogood authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie says, page 874:
Vou may abate the loroe of tlie eruptive level, and
keep down, It is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlie admission that it may
be done, i nave not only proven it may be, but has
been done iu numerous cases that occurred on board
ship. .See the account appended.
(Jive a teaspoohl'ul or more, according to tlie urgency
of tlie case, with u dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid onco in two hours If necessary, until the feversub
sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient;
but it slwiuld be given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When tho throat is affected,
any of tlie ordinary gargles may be used, and tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on tlie ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue
aud fauciis were so much swollen that the patient could
nut swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop,till he could swallow,
when it was given iu tcuspoouful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
tho 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 yargle. iu all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed Fever.,
This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which tlie mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem
to be of littlo consequence. A single dose or two of a
teuspoouful, almost invariably giving entire aud per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as tbe
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peatigl ns long as the lover continues, as in other cases.
The 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 iu
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must ho tried to be appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is ouo of the most conveuieut aud
effectual remedies lor many of the ills of females, if not
tlie most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
aud iritability of the nervous as well as tlie circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sodth 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 tile treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general
directions for all cases. As tho Negative Klectrie Fluid
will change tlie condition called fever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may be or ought to be called, it should bo given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed iu order to effect a
permanent cure.
When sucli judications occur iuany case, they should
he appropriate means, and those soliuhl bo given while
giving tlie “Fluid,” and in connection with it, wiien
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost As tho ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tlie bowels are costive, give u cathartic (see auxili
aries) witli the first dose, or soon after, aud should it
fail to operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
witli 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
paiii.or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to the part; if
violent pain in tho head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or seine cooling application, and batlio
tlie feet in hot water; if tlie fever is very high, skin
dry aud hot, witli great suffering, sponge or batlio tlie
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief ami aid tlie medi
cine iu taking effect, after which there will be uo trou
ble ; if tho patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics ami stimulants, particularly iu low
fevers, iii absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when tlie patient has become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must bo
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tile stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give tlie •• Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; iu short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving the
“ Fluid” at tho same time as directed, and success w ill
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, aud then you will bo astouislied at the ease
witli 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. 1 have found no sucli necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all. I will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat l>n rtics. —Articles that purge or operate ou the
bowels, sucli as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, ami many pills, uutibiUuus, Ac.; anything
kuowu to be good fur sucli purposes.
Hepatics.—Anything known to act outlie 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 tlie “Fluid” or while tlie system is under its iu
ttuonce. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, pudophyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cessful.
Tonics.—Articles thatgive tone or strength, such
as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Roue
set or thorough wort 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 astringeuts,
which have the effect.
Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is oue of the best;
ginger, 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 Klectrie Fluid is a bettor •• dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known iu the materia medico.
I shall not tux the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly on the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Pncketahlp Duchess D’Orlenns.
which cannot he classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the following, viz—
We took passage on the paeketship Duchess d’Orleaus,
Cupt Mutton, then lying in the port of Havre, France,
and bound for New York. She sailed on the 9th of Au
gust. 18.il, with over a hundred souls ou board, mostly
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
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-ulue days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured with unu
sual prompt uess.
Frsm wliat we saw during said passage, we are fully
convinced that the medicine lined by Dr. Seat ou tho oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never befora
heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a death! Tho
fact speaks for itself.

HAVE received the appointment from the proprietor
lor the sole agency of
Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant,
tiie medicine that has created such an excitement at the
North among the Physicians, and lias been pronounced
by all who have used it as being far superior to any
Cherry Pectoral. Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant con
tains the active medical qualities of the Yellow Jesamine,
tlie 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 Oulkans. April 9, 1855.
Dear Sir —Tlio public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under tlie titles
of Sarsaparillas, Pills, Plasters, Liniments, Ac., that are
daily brought to their notice through tlie newspapers by
way of advertisements. My object in writing this note
for publication, is to induce the public, or at least those
who are artlietod, to use one that contains articles of
Ileal Use. in Pulmonary Diseases. 1 an. conscious that in
so doing, 1 am acting most unprofessii.nally,and deroga
torily to the interests of Medical Science and the regular
Practitioners of sledioiuo, I refer to Woodman's Cherry
Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have
used witli more success than any of tlie usual prescrip
tions used by Physicians.

Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef
fects; better than any other article I ever met with. I
would be pleased to have you send mo half a dozen bot
tles by tlie bearer. Respectfully,

This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
and its soothing power to all irritations of tlie throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping tlie digestive powers in proper tone.
Remember that this is the only Cough .Medicino that
has stood the test of tlie medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of, and recommended by the leading
Physicians of New York city. Every buttle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We guaran
tee it to be hotter tliau any Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver
