Remarks on Fevcra In General-
On this suliject f wish to be fully understood. By lhe
term ‘-fevers,” 1 comprehend ail febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
ml ol Iht eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great
Variety of causes, and iu 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 tlie same general cliaructer
istics I hut ol undue excitement in the circulatory and
iii i votn systems—inducing more or less unnatural li'c
• pieney in the pulse, sense of heut, dryness of the skin,
debility, Ac.
To sliow that l mu not wholly alone in the o|rini"ii I
■elv.'.nce, I quote from tlio celebrated I’rof. T. Watson,
l King’s College, l.ondon, whoso work on tin; Princi
ides end Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
“i ’• medical colleges, and consequently stafldard authority.
‘ti p ig” 8.(4, hesayss— 1 “ We hear continually,loth iu

iVe. And systematic writers are to tin) full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Uastro-flnteric, and
“o forth. Now, admitting Unit fever shows itself under
virioioi forms, lam persuaded that.the effect upon the
mind of all this snb-divisiou, is had and hurtful. It
.•nroiiiugeß a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe fur a disease according to its name. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
ih it can be relied on. They run insensibly into each
• a her, even the most dissimilar of thorn, and are often
traceable to tlissaiue cause.”
The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance
ami 1 would imprest on your minds tlie folly of hunting
op or troubling yourself about a ntmu if you have
lever, treat it at once ns hereafter directed, and you
■ “ill he well, instead of any distinct character being devel
oped, mo as to be properly named by tlie most seieutific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mi ad, but on experience at tlie bed
ids of the sick, iu hundreds, aye. thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured ymi will soon be freed from all dread of linger

Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should be given iu three or four times its ewn
quantity of water, and may he sweetened or not at

2d. Patients must bo free from all currents of air,

Hli. When tlio fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should

which they may feel more or less interested, but be left

dll. Fluids should be allewod, while giving it as
plentifully, and us long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either

Nervous fever, Typhus. Ship mid Putrid
or Spotted fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly iu degree, lieing all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general great depression, there is
no practical use In separating them—ut least so far as
mv treatment is concerned. Tn these low levers, when
I'ulty developed, a little patience will be required; still
r.oiipamtiveiy little, s* they frequently run weeks under
tlio common treatment, while with this but a few days
will Is. noemuutry at longest to ostsLdi h a permanent

though the bowels should bo very louee. The patient
I should be sustained by nourishing and Inucilageiious
drinks—such as aro iu common use iu such cos"..—
j Where tho skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected iu bilious fever, will be found advantageous.
Tonics should hollaed during convalescence, in all ra.. .
which have become i educed.

I Variola, Varioloid, Kuhcoln anil Scarlu

und .Scarlet fever.
As all of these diseases are ait ended with fever, which
in fact Is tlie most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs hue little from that ol common fevers. Remember
never wait to learn the “name,” whether it is one or the
other, or neillu.r, ns they all commence witii freer, but
trust it at once; govern tho lover und thorn will !m no
trouble; there will ho bat lit He. eruptum oven in smalt
pox. This, to most minds, is u new idea, and doubtless
.vill bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 qevol'l ho less
boldly make liie assertion, that small pox, if tieuted as
I direct, anti be cut stun t; attended with bat little erup
tivu; little or no pitting, and that there u mi necessity of
its miming Us ordinary course. On tiiis 1 will stake
not only ray reputation, but a 1 that 1 bold oust dear;
besides, on thf*subject, I have good authority; that of
I’lof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, pugu 674:
“You may abate tbe force of the eruptive lever, and
keep down, it is believed, tile number oj the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” Here is tlio admission that it may
bo done. 1 nave not only proven it maybe, but bus
been dune iu numerous cases that urumj ori board
ship. See the account appended.
Uivo it tensponntiil or more, according to the urgency
o'i tho case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the
Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub
sides—though Oils or two doses Is generally sufficient;
but it should he given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever undor control. When tlie throat is affected,
any of tne ordinary gargles may he used, and tlie
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one ruse, on ill • slop Duchess d’Orleaus, tbe tongue
mid fatten* were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the
Fluid on liia tbngno, drop by drop, till lie could swallow,
when it was given in teaspoouful doses every hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of
tlie throat was reduced so as to citable him to take nour
ishment in about Uvelvu hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to Wet tlip throat frequently, it is doubtless the
lest gurgle in all such cases.
Puerperal or Childbed fever..
This heretofore painful, dangerous mid alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
NegatVe Electric fit .1 with such readiness, as to seem
to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonlul, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, us the
Fluid will arrest it ill it short time. It should be re
peated ns long ns tliti fever continues, us iu other cases.
Tlio bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
ilie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. • it
is to infoi'm them of tho happy effect of tlio Fluid in
runny of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to lie appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will he relieved ut ouco by a com
mon dose ami retiring. Restlessness. in nous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, i easily relieved by
itsvse; in short, it is one of tlie mo t convenient and
effectual remedies for iminj of the ills of females, if not
tlio most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
anil iritahility of tlie nervous ns well as the circulatory.
It will nut force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet tho system* so that ono can sleep naturally and
healthy ; honro its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give-iimler this head general
directions for all cases. As the Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under al! circumstances, without regard to the
name, it may be or ought to lie 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 be removed in order to effect a
permanent euro.
M lieu such indications occur in any case, tliey should
he appropriate means, und these soliuid bo given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
o. asioii requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
timo will tiled bo lost. Ah tlie % Fluid” alone will sub
due tiie fever, l rail all else auxiliary treatment.
If tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) witli tlie iii st dose, or soon utter, and Altould it
fail to operate in duo time, repeat tiie dose; if attended
with diurrluea, give something known to bo good for
I but complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply sumo stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of letter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain iu tho lmad, aj>ply cold writer, 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, with great suffering, spoil jo or bathe the
whole surface witli water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar aud water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the modi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trot,
ble; if tlio patient has been reduced or is much prost.
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in lov.
levers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; at- ,
during convalescence, wheu tlie patient has become ‘re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must lie
allayed before auy medicine will remain on tlie stomach
to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse tlio stomach ; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settlod, give the “ Fluid” ami a cathartic if
necessary ; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as you would uuiler any other circumstances, giving tiie
“Fluid” at the same time us directed, and success^will
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will be astonished ut the e-ose
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Purties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about what is used. J have found no sueh necessity
When using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cathartics.—Articles tliatpurgc or operate on the
bowels, such us castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, ami many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything
known to lie good for such purposes.
Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on tlio liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, will answer when used iu connection
with the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—tlie third, podopliylliu—tin fourth, mauilrake
root, and so on; each may take his olioieo and lie suc
cessful.
Touici.—Articles that give tono or strength, such
ns quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Roue
set or thoronghwort is one of tiie best used in fevers.
Astrlnganta.—Sucli as check tlie action of tlie
bow els. Widanumniid oilier preparations of opium are
used; also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tho effect.
Stimulant*.—Articles Unit raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tlie beet;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are uii more
or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa
ry in treating fevers, though many other* aro generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” anil
“ sedative” than known in tlio materia medico.
I shall not tax the reader witli a long list or proofs,
depending mainly on the results or a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on tlie

fects; better than any other article I ever met witli. I
would be pleased to have you send me half a dozen bot
tles by tlie bearer. Respectfully,
M . M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation lias attained a wide celebrity from
the universal success which lias attended its use. For
coughs, colds, ami in fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvent
aud its soothing power to all irritations of tho throat,
will probably bo preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural und genial warmth
keeping tlie digestive powers in proper tone.
Remomber that this is the only Cough Medicine that
lias stood the test of tbe medical fraternity. It is sanc
tioned by, approved of. and recommended by the leading
Physician* of Now York city. Every bottle is warranted
to give satisfaction or the money refunded. M e gimrnn
teeit tn be better than any Cherry Pectoral. Cod Liver
Oil. or anything else now extant
