A “Colored Senator” from Georgia Ice
lures In New York—'The Ka-ltlnx—How
Bullock Turned ‘ n Greenish White.”
We find tho following in the New York Herald
of Tuesday:
A large concourse of our colored citizens as
sembled last evening at Zion Church, corner of
Bleecker and West Tenth streets, to hear Tunis
G. Campbell, State Senator from Georgia, lec
ture on affairs as at present existing in that
State. He gave a vivid description of the trials
ho and his fellow colored representatives were
subjected to by the Democrats of the State.
He was somewhat self-laudatory in his descrip
tion of the part ho took in the organization of
the first Legislative Assembly after the war,
and especially in the House of 1869, when he
was threatened with instant assassination if he
read protests against the admission of certain
white members. He said that ho was told that
eight members of the Ku-klux, fonr of them in
each gallery, were waiting to hear him rcadthe
protest when they would riddle him with bul
lets. But, said the Senator, “I felt that the
time had come when I should stand forth for my
race and the principle of impartial freedom,
and with strong and steady voice and determin
ed will I read those resolutions—seven of them
—till I was called out by the Governor of the
State, and he begged me to read no more. His
face was of a greenish white cast, and terror
sat depicted on his countenance, bat I was not
afraid. ’ I went back amid the uproar and con
fusion and stood fiftn.”
Mr. Campbell continued in this strain for
some time, and denounced tho Ku-ldux with
considerable" vehemence, but failed to make
mention of any positive facts except the mur
der of Senator Atkins.
This old scamp is “wanted” down here on
two or three criminal charges, and. we suspect
his presence in New York, now, means dodging
the law. But, what about Bollock’s turning “a
greenish white ?” Will tho Foroible Feeble of
frig Atlanta organ enlighten us on that point ?
The South Carolina Tax-Payers Con
vention.
The World’s Columbia correspondent Las the
following with reference to tho propositions for
relief likely to be discussed by this body, when
it assembles next month—we believe this week:
As to the propositions likely to come before
the convention, four are definite enough to be
mentioned. First is the view taken by Mr.
Hemminger, formerly secretary of the Confed
erate treasury, this being that tho present Con
stitution should be so amended as to give prop
erty a special representation, as nnder the old
State constitution, but the negroes are hardly
likely to vote away their power, and this pro
position is on that account rather chimerical.
Next is a suggestion that minority representa
tion be incorporated in the present Constitution
so as to give the white minority some more ac
curate representation than they now have, the
Conservative strength in the Legislature being
but 20 to 100, though tho vote is 6 to 9. This
meets great favor in tho State pre3S, but the in
superable objection to reform the tremendous
negro vote is here again in full force. The third
proposition, and tho one likely to be adopted
in some form, is to cut off supplies by giving
public notice to the whole financial world that
the property-holders of South Carolina in no
wise recognize any pecuniary obligations as
sumed by a so-called government in which they
have no voice, and that they will, in no case,
pay either interest or principal of such puta
tive obligations when any escape from absolute
force appears. Coupled with tbi3 will, in all
likelihood, bo some concert of action by which
the entire tax-paying part of the population
will refuse to pay tho outrageous exactions im
posed upon them. Finally it is proposed that
if any such refusal sales occur, tho owner shall
bid up his property, so that if a high price is
offered by any other person, he can sell if so
disposed, and if not, that he can bid in for him
self. Time must elapse before further proceed
ings, and when the property is again, on refusal
to pay, put up, the owner s friends or grown
members of his family may repeat the bidding
in process once more, and so on ad infinitum.
Result of the First Ku-klux Case.—The
first case under tho Ku-klux bill was tried at
Montgomery, one day last week. Of the result,
the Montgomery Advertiser, of Thursday, speaks
as follows:
U. S. Commissioner Patrick, in tho alleged
Ku-klux case from Macon county, after a
thorough and impartial investigation, in which
white and colored witnesses wero introduced
for the defense, discharged the defendants on
tho ground that there wa3 no case made out
against them. The testimony was mainly mado
out by the testimony of colored witnesses. If
this case had not been thus disposed of by judi
cial investigation, before a Federal official, it
would, in all probability, have formed another
chapter in Mr. District Attorney Minnis’ bill of
indictment against his neighbors, and would
also have flourished in the volumo of Ku-klux
outrages to be published by the Congressional
Ku-klux Committee at Washington.
Death oft' a Distinguished Virginian.
The Hon. James M. Mason died Friday night,
near Alexandria, Ya., where ho has constantly
resided since Ms return from Ms exile in Eu
rope. He was a favored son of the “Old Do
minion,” and deserved all the honors she ever
bestowed upon him, no less for his talents and
publio virtues than for ttio rare fidelity he always
showed to her interests.
In tho better days of the Republic, when the
United States Senate was an assemblage of
patriots and gentlemen, he was one of its most
distinguished ornaments, serving for many
years as the Chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs. When Virginia seceded Mr.
Mason, like her truo son, ss he always was, left
the Senate and soon entered tho eervico of tho
Confederate States a3 Commissioner to Great
Britain. His seizure, in company with Mr.
Slidell on board the British steamer “Trent,”
by Admiral Wilkes, of the Federal navy, and
their subsequent release by the Lincoln Govern
ment—wMeh, by the by, eat a very largo slice of
humble pie on this occasion-—aro events still
fresh in the public memory. Mr. M. remained in
London during, and for some time after tho
war closed, and was indefatigable in his efforts
to secure a recognition of tho Confederacy by
the English Government. Ho served Ms coun
try abroad with the same zeal and singleness of
purpose he had always shown in. her service at
home. On his return from England he chose a
residence near Alexandria, hi3 old home at
Winchester having been literally reduced to
dust and ashes by the Yankees during their first
occupation of that place.
Mr. Mason belonged to ono of the oldest and
most prominent families in Virginia, and has
been gathered to his fathers at a ripe old ago.
His name will bo remembered, and Ms memory
cherished at the South so long as honor, cour
age, fidelity and purity of life are qualities that
command the respect and veneration of her
true sons and daughters. Peace to his ashes!
Grant and tbe Catholics.
Being a Northern Methodist—theoretically,
at least, as that denomination is very loil, and
also very strong at the polls—Grant hates a re
ligious organization so conservative in its polit
ical learnings as tho Catholio Church, with all
the sectarian venom of his mustard seed soul.
When the Deficiency bill wa3 before him for
approval the day Congress adjourned, he re
marked to one of his toadies:
“If it were not for losing the whole bill I
would veto the appropriation in it for rebuild
ing the Catholic orphan asylum in Charleston,
South Carolina.”
This asylum, it will be remembered, was
burned or otherwise destroyed by Federal troops
during the war, notwithstanding it was from
those in charge of it that Yankee prisoners in
that city received tho kindest and most gener
ous treatment. Tho “Sister of Mercy”—as they
ever are—were instant in season and out of sea
son in their ministrations to the siek, wounded
and distressed among the prisoners, and did
great service in tho cause of humanity.
And yet, because tho Catholics as a general
thing, and especially the Irish Catholics, won’t
train with the hypocrites, and haters, andsnper-
finely loil howlers of tho Northern Methodist
Church under the piebald banner of Jocobinism,
Grant is distressed because he oan’t refuse to
do an aot of simple justice to a Catholic charit
able institution! Really the man seems to grow
smaller in soul and muddier in intellect every
day he lives.
Who Wero They?
The New York Sun, of Wednesday, says:
Wo are informed that five different patriots
of the Democratic persuasion waited upon Boss
Tweed yesterday to get funds to establish five
Democratic journals in the South and West, to
advocate the nomination of John T. Hoffman
as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency.
One of these patriots came from Mobile, and
wanted to set up his paper there in opposition
to John Forsyth. The great Boss declined
their proposals. He told them he didn’t care a
picayune whether there was ever another Demo
cratic candidate or not. For a rich man Boss
Tweed has a funny repugnance to strikers.
They might as well leave Mm alone.
We are sorry the Sun didn’t call names, so
that onr suspicions might be verified or dis
proved as to the identity of these bummers.
Was Georgia represented, Mr. Sun ?
Bnt the “Boss” was eminently correct in re
fusing to be “struck” by these dead beats—
that is, if he is the friend of Gov. Jloffman.
Newspapers controlled by men who go to New
York on such errands as this, aro positively
hurtful to Ms or any other man’s chances for
anything—except popular odium. If the “Boss”
should fall out with Hoffman, however, and
wish to kill him outright do wn here, let him send
for these and a few more “patriots” of their sort
from the Sonth and give them money to start
Hoffman papers. In that event, well guarantee
that Hoffman won’t get a solitary vote from tho
South in the nominating convention. His
friends should look into thi3 matter, if they
have any intention of entering him for the
‘White House” stakes next year.
Indicted Tor Malfeasance in Office.
Cincinnati, April 25.—Rev. M. P. Gaddis
has beon again indicted by the United States
Grand Jury, for neglect of duty while Assessor
of Internal Revenue, Second District, for re
ceiving presents and bribes, and for offering a
bribe to his assistant assessor, to induce him to
allow Gaddis to commit frauds in office.
TMs Gaddis is one of the brightest lights and
most stately pillars in that organization calling
itself the Methodist Episcopal Church at the
North, and i3 likewise a trooly loilist of the
purest water and most unimpeachable lustre.
A holier man, from a “death to traitors” stand
point, and according to tho canons of the church
in question, is not to be found anywhere. What
a howl will go up from tho Stiggins’ and Chad-
bands of the “moral ideas” crowd, when Bro.
Gaddis’ “misfortune” is noised abroad! But
we’U lay a livoly wager that Gaddis is not con
victed, that his brethren will wMtewasb
him, and that he’ll be stumping OMo for Grant
next year, with the promise of another fat of
fice.
Madam P., a grand-daughter of Gen. Oudi-
not, remained in a comer of her chateau while
the Prussians occupied it, and, on an officer
alluding to her distinguished ancestry, replied:
“I still keep a letter written by Germans to
my grandfather, in testimony of Ms probity,
and thanking him for Ms honorable conduct.
He was, at the time, Governor of Berlin. In
those days conquerors did not carry off clocks.”
The Joint High Commission.—The Journal
of Commerce publishes the following special
from Washington dated last Monday:
The Joint High Commission has (it is under
stood) agreed upon the principles wMch shall
govern the settlement of all the questions before
them. They are now working on the details of
the treaties wMch are expected to bo ready to
present to tho President Saturday or Monday.
Both parties are eminently satisfied with the
results.
The comparison of General Butler to the
Sphinx is resented by the Detroit Free Press,
wMch thinks “that somewhat superfluous piece
of statuary has borne a pretty fair reputation
for several thousand years.”
In Pecin Bayou, Texas, lately, George Lee
and another man had or misunderstanding,
wMch neither survived. Three others discuss
ed tho affair with their revolvers, and all were
laid where the daises blow.

Under tlxo Bod.
I heard the pastor preaching: G od ti love;
My heart was bier ding and uprose in doubt;
nor could I work tho dark enigma out
Of grief below the etars and grace above;
Wherefore at night along a neighboring grove’
I walked, and kneeling on tho fragrant sod,
Lifted my heart"and eyes and voice to God
Can it be tree,” I cried, “that Thou art love?”
And lo, a sound of wings—I loved in fear:
Then some one lifted up iny fainting head,
And in a low, melodious music said,
‘O.thou of doubtful heart, what brings thee here?”
And I made answer—“Can be hold me dear
Whose bitter rod yet goods me to despair?”
God chastened thee In love,” he said—‘look
there!"
And all the wood was luminous far and near.
With that he raised the golden mace he bore,
And smote a flower that blossomed at my feet;
Its gushing fragraco filled tho whole retreat, •
And roso to heaven from every rifted pore;
So God smites thee,” h9 said, “that moro and
more -
Thy biuised heart may rise in prayer and praise:
under His chastening thou hast sought Ms face.
Look up, O heart of little faith, adore 1”
Thereat he vanished; but tho. wood was bright
With splendor, and strange sweetness in the air;
And as I prayed, the syllables of prayer
Trembled to praise and accents of delight;
For still I hoard along his upward flight, -
“Hislsmiting here but driveth theo above.”
‘ So let Him smite,” I answered, “Ho is love 1”
And lo, the cast was all aflame with fight.
I For the Telegraph and Messenger.
A Trip to Eastman.
On the evening of tho 14th nit., I took pass
age on the train at Chaunoy, on the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad, at 1:25 p. m., destined for
Eastman, the capitol of the new county of
Dodge. In a few minutes run I found myself
in tho village, and I embarked from the train. My
first inquiry was for tho place of holding the
Superior Court, as it was then in session. I soon
learned that they were holding court in a new
store house, belonging to General Foster, bnt,
that court had adjourned for dinner.
I then set out to find somebody or somebody
else, wMch very soon I found myself ushered in
a large crowd, who was standing around dis
cussing the news of the day. I made myself
as familiar as I could for a short time. I saw
many depressed looking countenances which I
soon learned the cause, was that all the bar
rooms had been closed by tho municipal au
thorities of the place, who are said to be a very
vigilant corps of men, whose ambition is to
keep good order on such occasions.
Next—I visited the guard house, wMch I
found to be a little log cabin, once a bar-room,
but now a guard-house. A man could be put
in it, and fastened up as tight as a horse in a
stable with the door fastened by a fence rail with
a big end to it. After taking all tho observa
tion at that point I wanted, I then reported to
the place of holding court, where the energetic
Sheriff who was calling out, court opened, and
jurymen coining in in every direction in double-
quick time—some of them looking as though
they had been sentenced for some offense them
selves. I made ray way among the crowd and
soon found myself standing among quite a res
pectable number of counsellors at law, who had
collected to administer law and justice. I was
told that there was many more expected from
Hawkinsville on tho train that was then due,
but had been detained by a wash up in the
road; court soon adjourned, and tho petit jur
ors wero dismissed.
Tho Judge and lawyers all walked out, in
company with Mr. Eastman, Gen. Foster and
others, for the purpose of locating some point
for the building of a court house, which Mr.
Eastman proposes to build at Ms own expense.
Many points wero spoken of as appropriate
places by different ones, but not enough agree
ing on any one for permanent location, so tho
question was laid over for farther discussion
tho next morniDg, as bad cases are generally
said over.
A word for Eastman. It is becoming quite a
flourisMng place. By nature it is ono of the
prettiest places in the wiregrass region of Geor
gia, and ero long destined to monopolize any
point on tho M. & B. It. R. Persons wishing
to cast their lot in one of the healthiest places
on tho continent, and a place that is rapidly
building up, would do well to come to Eastman
—at least take a look before locating elsewhere.
I am told that a factory and machine shops of
different kinds aro expected to be built and in
operation soon. When wilt some of tho other
stations follow tho example?
At 5:20 p. ar. the down train made its appear
ance laden with lawyers and law books, all a
day after tho feast; and, Sir. Editor, how do
you imagine they felt?—badly, you bet, itava
the fact court had adjourned, and their cases
laid over for a long six months. At 5:10 I took
passage again back for Chauncy with bright
hopes of reaching my sunny home in old Tel
fair. Subscriber to Weekly.
' Letter from Marion Comity.
Beuna Vista, April .24th, 1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I arrived
at this place on Tuesday evening and found a
number of tho good citizens of the county
assembled in town attending court. His Honor
Judgo Johnson was on tho Bench despatching
business with much rapidity and ease. Judge
J. is very popular with the bar and citizens
generally of his circuit, who pronounce him the
most able Judge now upon tho bench in tho
State. Solicitor-General C. J. Thornton repre
sented the State with Ms usual ability. Among
the visiting members of the bar in attendance
at court I noticed Hon. E. H. Worrill, Judge J.
M. Mathews and Gen. Bethune, of Talbotton;
Col. M. H. Blandford, J. L. Peabody, E. O.
Thornton and R. J. Moses, jr., of Columbus;
Messrs. Hudson and Crisp, of Ellaville, and Mr.
Pickett, of Preston.
In tho case of tho State vs. Noel Wattle,
charged with tho murder of Walker, the jury
found the prisoner guilty of voluntary man
slaughter, and ho was sentenced to four years
hard labor in the penitentiary. Sim Boynton
(negro) wa3 convicted of stealing a mule and
sent to tho penitentiary for five years.
Before closing court Judge Johnson took oc
casion to compliment the very worthy and effi
cient Clerk, Mr. Sam’l B. Lumpkin, for the very
excellent manner in wMch he had discharged
the duties of his office. The compliment was
well deserved.

A Pair of Burglars Brought to Grief.—
Deposit, N. Y.,April27.—Monday night, about
dusk, two well-dressed young men arrived -in
.this place by the train from Binghamton. Their
manner excited the suspicion of Die ticket agent,
and when he sold them tickets took duplicates
of tlieir numbers. At night they robbed the
store of one of onr largest merchants, seenring
$20,000 cash, and left on the train for Kew
York. A few moments after the robbery, hear
ing of the burglary, tho ticket agent telegrarbed
the numbers of the tickets to the conductor of
the train, and when the train arrived at Port
Jervis the young men were taken in charge by
officer Courtright of that tdty. The money was
recovered, and will be restored to its rightful
owner. |t|
To jse Sentenced the 29th of May.—San
Francisco, April 29.—Mrs. Fair will be sen
tenced May 20. Her counsel desiring a month
to prepare for an appeal for a new trial, have re
served about forty exceptions, genesally unim
portant points to the ruling of the Court. Gam
blers, who were friends of the prisoner, were
ready to bet, np to yesterday morning, that two
jurors would not agree on a verdict of guilty,
oreating the impression in the community that
they had some ground for the belief.
The Celebration Grounds.—We were yes
terday shown over the grounds where the vari
ous Sabbath-school3 of tho city are to have
their celebration on next Tuesday, and were
pleased to find everything in readiness for the
occasion. A commodious and substantial stand
for the speakers has been erected in the centre
of a (beautiful and umbrageous grove, and
comfortable seats have been constructed of suffi
cient capacity to accommodate twenty-five
hundred people. Through the indefatigable
exertions of Alderman Olay, Chairman of the
Street Committee, the grounds have been lev
elled off and sanded, and the whole work com
pleted in a manner that must prove satisfactory
to all interested. If we were a little girl we’d
kissd the dashing Alderman for. his devotion
to our interests, but as it is we rather think he
would prefer dispensing with the kiss. In fact,
we know ho would.
Gone to Savannah.—It is with unfeigned re
gret that wo announce the departure for Savan
nah of onr special friend, Major L. M. Whar-
field, who, for the last two years, has been en
gaged in the cotton business of this city. He
is a most genial, polished and companionable
young gentleman, whom wo shall sadly miss at
the chess board, in the social circle and around
tho various cotton boards where he was wont to
turn daily an honest penny. In casting his lot
in Savannah, we fear he did not take into con
sideration all tho hearing sof his position there.
Wo greatly fear that he will fall in with red
head Harris, of the Savannah News. Steer
clear of that man, oh, Wharfield 1 Let his scar
let caput be unto you as the beacon planted
upon the rocks of ocean, to warn the storm-
tossed vessel of the danger of its position.
Dodge him, evade him, snnb him, or all the pa
rental and wholesome influences Walker and
“we” have thrown around yon will go for
n night.
Col. Reid’s Resignation.—In this issue will
bo found Col. Reid’s valedictory. In severing
his connection with the Telegraph and Mes
senger, with which he has been so long identi
fied as one of its proprietors, he sunders an inti
mate business relationship with the attaches of
the office, which every one of them, from the
“devil” to the foreman, most sincerely regret.
To the writer he has ever been peculiarly kind,
courteous and accommodating, and “ye local”
would be recroant to feelings, both of grattt”* 1 ®
and friendship, were he not thus pabVfV to of
fer the Colonel his profound fi-raks, and ex
press the wish that health success may at
tend Mm, whithersoe*'* he ms y cast ^ Iot > or
in whatever ca»mg he may engage.
ipjjj, aiEMrms Drawing.—Elsewhere in the
Advertisement of Messrs. Passmore & Ruffin’s
real estate distribution, of Memphis, Tenn., it
will be seen that the managers refuse to hold a
single share in it, and propose to destroy all
unsold shares on the day of drawing. This ob
viates a very serious objection which the pub
lic has justly held against most distributions
heretofore, in which the managers generally
held from 25,000 to 30,000 tickets for them
selves, and, by such amount, drew some of the
most valuahle property put up, creating dissat
isfaction and distrust. Call on Brown & Co.,
46 Second street, and learn particulars of the
Memphis distribution.
Iowa promises an overwhelming fruit crop
this season.' ..
I beg leave to call the attention of the reader to
testimonials in favor of the Schnapps:
I feel bound to say that I regard your Schnapps
as being in every respect pre-eminently pore, and
deserving of medical patronage. At all events itis
the purest possible article of Holland gin, hereto
fore unobtainable, and as such may bo safely pro
scribed by physicians.

“Schnapps” is a remedy In chronic catarrhal com
plaints, etc.: .
I take great pleasure in bearing highly creditable
testimony to its efficacy as a remedial agent in the
diseases for which you recommend it. Having a
natural tendency to the mucons surfaces, with a
slight degree of stimulation, I regard it as one of
tho most important remedies in chronic catarrhal
affections, particularly those of the genito-urinary
apparatus. With much respect, your obedient ser
vant, CHAS. A. LEAS, M. D., Now York.

The examination has resulted in the conclusion
that the sample contained no poiBonons or harmful
admixture. I have been unable to discover any
trace of the deleterious substances which are some
times employed in the adulteration of liquors. I

Its Cure and Its Preventive.
By J. H. SOHENCK, M. D.
VTANY a human beiag has passed away, for whoso
J.TX death there was no other reason than the neglect
of known and indisputably proven means of euro.
Those near and dear to family and friends are sleep-
ins the dreamios3 slumber into which, had they calmly
adopted
DB. JOSEPH sotonok’S SIMPLE
TREATMENT,
and availed themselves of his wonderful efficacious
medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. Schonck
has in his own case proved that wherever sufficient
vitality remains, that vitality, by his medicines and
his directions for their use, is quickened into health-
ful vi«or; .1 ...
In this statement there is nothing presumptuous.
To tho faith of tho invalid is made no representation
that is not a thousand times substantiated by living
and visible works. Tho theory of tho cure by Dr.
Schenok’s medicines is a3 simple as it i3 unfailing.
Its philosophy requires no argument. It ti self-
assuring, self convincing.
The Seawood Tonio and MandrakePills aro the first
two weapons with which tho citadel of tho ma’ady is
assailed. Two-thirds of the caro3 of consumption
originate in dyspepsia and a functionally disordered
liver. With this condition tho bronchial tubes “sym
pathize” with tho stomach, They respond to the
morbifio action of the liver. Here then comes the
culminating result, and the setting in, with all its dis
tressing symptoms, of
CONSUMPTION.
Tho Mandrake Pills are composod of one of Naturo’s
noblest gifts—tho Podophillum 1'eltatum. They pos
sess all the blood-searching, alterative properties of
calomel, bnt unlike calomel, they
“LEAVE NO STING BEDIND.”
Tho work of cure is now beginning. Tho vitiated
and mucous deposits in the bowels and in the ali
mentary canal are eiected. Tho livor, like a clock, is
wound up. It arouses from its torpidity. The stom
ach acts responsively, and the patient begins to feel
that he ti getting, at last,
A SUPPLY OP GOOD BLOOD.
Tho Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the Pills,
permeates and assimilates with the food. Chylifica-
tion is now progressing without its previous tortures.
Digestion becomes painless, and the cure ti seen to be
at hand. There is no more flatulence, no excorbation
of tho stomach. An appetite setsin.
Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet
given by an indulgent lather to suffering man.
Scbenck's Pulmonic Syrup comes in to perform its
functions and to hasten and complete the enre. It
enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot he
cheated. It collects and ripens the impaired and dis
eased portions of tho lnng3. In the form of gather
ings, it prepares them for expectoration, and lo 1 in a
very short time the malady is vanquished, the rotton
throne that it occupied is renovated and made new,
and tho patient, in all tho dignity of regained vigor,
steps forth to enjoy the manhood or the womanhood
that was
GIVEN UP AS LOST.
The second thing ti, the patients must stay in a
warm room until they get well; it is almost impossi
ble to prevent taking cold when tho lungs aro dis
eased, but it must bo prevented or a curs •»nnot be
effected. Fresh air and riding out. .-specially in this
section of tho country in the JH* and winter season,
are all wrong. Physio!***? who, reoemmend that
conrse lose their r«tlents, if their .lungs are badly
diseased, and yet, because they are in the house they
must sot sit down quiet; they must walk about the
room as much and as fast as the strength will bear, to
get up a good circulation of blood. The patients
must keep in good spirits—ho determined to get well.
This has a great deal to do with the appetite, and is
tho gTeat point to gain. To despair of enre after such
evidence of its possibility in the worst cases, and
moral certainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Bchenck’s
personal statement to the Faculty of his own cure
waa in these modest words:
“Many years ago I was in the last stages of con
sumption, confined to my bed, and at one time my
physicians thought that I could not live a week; then
like a drowning man catching at straws, I hear-* J>i
and obtained tho preparations which I row ' uer ;?
the public, and they made a perfect on**>
seemed to me that I could feel them ■*
whole system. They soon npenod “« ? ; ®v® f “V“ y
lungs, and I would spit up mor*rt fl “; J ° t 5“ -

that l coul C ' 1 ^ e8I > from eating too much. I soon

was weighed shortly after my recovery,” added
the Doctor, “then looking like a mere skeleton; my
weight was only ninety-seven pounds i mw present
weight is two hundred and twenty-five (225) pounds,
and lor years 1 have enjoyed uninterrupted health.”
Dr. Schenck has diacontinuelhis professional visits,
to New York and Boston. Ho or his son, Dr.J.H.
Schenck, Jr, still continue to see patients .at their
office, No. 15 North Sixth street, Philadelphia, every
Saturday from 9 a, m. to 3 p.m. Those who vmh a
thorough examination with the Respirometer will be

condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn
