For several days Cctbbert has teemed with sable divines, and de tinkle of “ tbe ebarch-going bell" has been -ennptod only by the stentorian tones of tbe iotaerges who bold forth in divers pieces. Two j -ndred and fifty delegates, representing nearly aj the colored centres of the State, have been [ relent. Among them were quite a sprinkling cl intelligent, floe looking men, while the vfceegdoodle and mV tele parsons of course pre- jeminsted. Kev. Wilkes Flagg, of Milledgo- nlle, was chosen Moderator, and presided with ijaity, firmness and aagmeity. Mr. Flagg ia me of tbe noblest specimens of his raoe, and they wonld do woll to give hoed to his example u.j admonitions. hidiuth exercises. According to usage, the moderator occupied the pnlpit of tbe Baptist Ghnrch (white) at 11 „ clock, which bad been kindly tendered by its paator, Ur. Campbell. From early dawn to the hour of worship, a stream of vehicles of every chancier, from tbo primitive go-eart drawn by a single bollock, to tbe mors pretentious ba- r >nche or buggy, and tbe ponderous plantation wagon crammed to overflowing with yonng and eld, poured into the groves and vaoant spaces of the town. At least 11000 were in attendance ; and gleaming ivory, happy smiles, and costumes siring with tbe rainbow in their hnoa, greeted tie vision on every aide. Soon every seat in the spacious building was occupied, and oven tbe ilairs were crowded with listeners, many of Item prone upon the floor. Some pews were irtiblr banked, the inmates sitting in each others Ups by tarn, "ride and tie” fashion. TDK SERMON iu based upon the simple passago of Soriptnre, "For tbe lore of Christ oonstraineth me.” It was a practical, fervent appeal to his hearers, de void of pretention, ana thongh wanting in ele gance and rhetorical finish, was deeply interest- ing at least to the writer. The speaker said he was no “politicianer," nor did he desire oiliee, or wish to degrade tbo pnlpit by in allusion to politics. Had ho received a good education, ud been born a genins, be might have been tempted to preach tbe gospel for fame-, bnt now the lore of Cbriat only oonatrained him to do ad. Is pawiing through SmtthviUe, be had met a lady friend who begged him to get tho Associa tion to alienee those ignorant ministers who are doing no much injury to the ohoreh and people. He felt bound to aay that they who ware not e'lelopreach were not called npon to do bo; ■ad like tbe blind leading the blind, both they ad their bearers most fall into the ditch. If ay of you wished to send your children to ksooI, wonld yon select a teacher who did not know A from B ? Bnt is it not equally absurd lo npeet to have the Bible expounded, and to be acknowledge that Germany is vastly indebted to tho master-intellect of Oevonr. It will, hence forth, be the aim of every French ruler, whether be be a President, King or Emperor, to destroy German unity. Woe, then, to the Italians, should France ever succeed in this task. To arrange a definitive treaty of alliance to which Italy is said to have already given her adheaion, the Emperor of Germany and Austria will have another meeting in Salzburg. There the Bom un ion question will also be discussed. The present difficulties with Romania originated in a great railway contract. Strousberg, a well known Berlin contractor, had made with the govern- meat of Prince Charles. Strousberg had the roads built partly with bands furnished by a committee of Berlin Bankesa, partly with the proceeds of obligations the interests of which were guaranteed by Ronmania. Almost this whole stock is owqed in Germany. The roads being now almost finished, the Chamber haa passed a resolution refusing to refund the cap ital borrowed in Berlin, as well as to pay the interest guaranteed, on the ground that the roads were badly built, that the rolling stock consisted of old worn-out Prussian ears, etc., etc. In vain did the Government, denying these allegations, protest and state that the work had been faithfully executed; the deputies did not wish to be convinced, and Prince Charles, though reluctantly, was compelled to add his signature to the bill. The Prussian Government, anxious to protect German inter ests valued at many million dollars, appealed to tbe Sultan, as tho Suzrain of Ronmania, and proposed to bring tbe question before a Con gress of the powers which signed the treaty of Paris. Tnrkey, however, having declined to do this, Prussia endeavors to gain one or two of the powers over to her views for the purpose of forcing tho Sultan to a European Congress. Perhaps the Emperors of Germany and Aus tria may also wish to come to an understanding in reference to the poliey towards the preten sions of Rome. The Prussian Government seems to be de termined to make a meat decided stand against the Papal Syllabus. Tbe Berlin “Provincial oorrespondanz," thus comments on the situation: "The Government," the paper says “are clearly justified, after they had vainly warned the council of tho dangerous results of its resolu tions in refusing to lend their assistance to the promulgation of such principles. Thongh the Prussian Government viewed them from the first with disapproval and regret, it had suffi cient confidence in its own stability and the good sense of its subjects to refrain from im posing any restrictions npon the fall religions liberty of the catholics. It haa not forbidden any bishop, clergyman, or teacher to propagate the dogmas of the council. It has only refosed to lend the assistance of tbe temporal arm to compel catholic teachers to inenloate, in oppo sition to the dictates of iheir conscience—prin ciples which, in the opinion of the Government, have not only introduced important changes into tbe creed of tbe church, bnt also modified in many very important respects her relations with the State. The question new at issue is not, whether tho Government will acknowledge a religious dogma as such; this it leaves to the conscience and religious liberty of every indi vidual catholic. What it is now called upon to decide is, whether it will lend its legal influence to support a dogma which it considers fatal to the existing relations between the chnrch and tho State.” On the authority of the Vienna Free Press it is reported that the Prussian Government ia determined to close all Catholio colleges, should tbe Bishops oontinue to persecute those teachers who decline to submit to the new dogma. The Bishop of Paderborn, Westphalia, on the occa sion of tbe Papal jabilee had issued a pastoral letter in which the flattering epithet of “Bob ber" wad bestowed ppon King Victor EmanneL His Eminenoe, after having been tried for this offence, was found guilty and ia said to have been oondneted to a Prussian fortress. The Frankfort Journal states that in Offen- baeh six families, consisting of thirty-five per sons, have seceded from the Roman Church, on account of the conflict arising from the procla mation of the infaUibility of tho Pope. Also in Southern Germany the old Catholic party ia gaining ground among the educated classes. In Bavaria they have began to perform the marriage ceremony after the Council of Trent, whenever a priest refuses to marry peo ple who are excommunicated. Brido and bride groom call on the priest, and, having stated that they will take each other, for better or worse, they join hands before him, which ceremony constitutes s legal marriage, no matter whether he sanations it or not. In Wenrzbnrg.Weurtenbarg, Professor Reiss- mann, who is decidedly opposed to Papal infalli bility, has been elected Rector of the University there. After a most violent debate the French As sembly was declared to be possessed of consti tuent powers. Thiers' term of offloe was also prolonged. Gambetta, who most fiercely op- untrue ted in theology by men who oonld not __ m mn road God’s Word? Bach men did more a^nmptira at^Utnrat'rawere, tana than good, and should not be allowed to preach at all. The prineipal object of Us dis course was lo advocate the claims of a colored Ihcologioal Seminary to be located at Atlanta, (or the express purpose of qualifying candidates for Ihe ministry.

Mr. Warron and others, in iheir efforts to instruct the colored ministers, and said he was a staunch friend of that glo rious seat of learning, Meroer University. Tbe sermon over, a collection was taken np, to which the whites preaent contributed liber- ally. RXV. GREEN MCARTHUR. Before concluding this sketch we feel that it is but just to relate an inoident which occurred at the close of the Moderator’s sermon. Rev. Green McArthur, a respected citizen of this place, read tbe last hymn and directed tho col lection. He was interrupted by • black brother on tho floor, however, who addressed the Meeting and claimed that thewUte people, hav ing been educated by negro labor, were bound now to giTe freely to the enterprise under oon- conaidc ration. In reply, McArthur stated from the pulpit, that he was compelled to differ, “re- hgioosly, however,” from the brother who had juat taken his seat. If the negroes in slavery tinea had helped to educate their masters, it *»s beesnss they were forced to do so, and it *** likewise their duty as faithful servants. They had no right then to elaim any merit in the premises, nor should they ask assistance of the whites in such a spirit. We challenge the records of the country to furnish • nobler in- ■tanee of true moral eonrage than was here af forded. GREAT HU IN DAWSON. Again has this flourishing village been visited J’T X most destructive conflagration, which has laid in ruins a Urge part of the business por tion of the town. On Monday night about 12 o clock the flames made their appearance be tween two buildings on the northwest side of t~« square, and defying all opposition, soon sweptawsy every edifice in their oonree. Seven ttorea/one large warehouse, two other shops »»d several dwellings were destroyed. XU tgtee that it was the palpable work of an inoen- ~*ty. The lose ia estimated at over $20,000. The amount of insurance we could not asoer- ttto. The people of this enterprising little city hare onr heartfelt sympathy in this the n too of their calamity. J, Foreign Notes. RXTASD roa TBE TELZGRATU AXD MXtSENOEB. A celebrated diplomatist ia reported to have ttoeotly said that Rossis, after tbo eapituUtion “f Sedan, found herself in tbe same position aa Branee after the battle of Sadowa. Daring the *tr the Russian press was very anti-German, bnt Alexander the Seoond adhered to a friendly neutrality which was of incalculable value to Germany. We think public opinion in Russia nght in dreading German unity. While the Czar since the times of the Holy Alliance, had slwsys played the part of a protector towards Prussia, the war of 1866 greatly diminished Russian inflnenoe. and after those brilliant vio- toriee in Franoe the Mosoow and St. Petersburg El®** barred against the establishment of a German Empire which would prove a chock to to Rnaaian lost of conquest. There will be a **r of revenge on the part of Franoe aa soon as the French have somewhat recovers d from their last political bankruptcy, and aa far-sighted a statesman aa Bismarck ia preparing for that eventuality in time. France alone has ceased to be a dread, bnt she will ardently covet an al liance with Russia. To meet sueh a powerful combination, the Germans most seek new allies, and Austria and Italy suggest themselves as their natural auxiliaries. We believe that Aus tria, in time, will dissolve her German provinces joining the kindred Empire; yet Germany’s wisest policy is to hold the monarchy of the Hapaborgt as long together as possible, bo- cause, in case of dissolution, the Urge slave Population will considerably strengthen the Power of Rossis. Hungary, numbering fifteen tuHRoca, and forming snch a vital nation- *hty in the Empire, has learned to look "Pon Russia as her deadliest enemy. There “ nothing to prevent s sincere friendship be- toaeo Italy on the one and Germany and Aus tria on the other hand. Prussia and Italy have ~to»oy fought aide by ride to mutual advantage, ““•toco Austria has given np Venetia, both ”]®triee have no interests at variance- It is ■toerwtaewith the relations between France •“Italy. Wo need only cast a glance at tho P*?«r»of tho Peninsula to learn that public PJtotoo U very hostile to Franoe. The debates tte National Assembly on tho Roman ques ts 1 have convinced the Italian people, that f“fce only refrains from meddling again with r*tiau affairs, because the charm of her power » Broken. “Italian unity was the mother of Jchnau unity,” said Monsieur Thiers, and wo s said to have withdrawn his proposition for a dissolution of the Assembly. The foeling between the inhabitants of Stras- bnrg and the Germans has not much improved. There occurred serious disturbances between the people and the German soldiers, in which several on both rides were seriously injured. The Duke of Uontpenrier, now sojourning in Paris, who is suspoctedof being distantly con- oernod in the assassination of Prim, has offered to testify before competent Spanish authorities in relation to that event, his daughter’s sickness preventing him from leaving the French capital. Tho Spanish government has issned a decree of amnesty, applying to all political offenses committed in Spain. This wise net has caused great satisfaction among all classes el the peo ple, and much increased the popularity of the new ministry. The Torin Gazette nflyorts that Garibaldi is improving, and requires only repose to recover his perfect health. The Holy Father told the Papal Guards who, in a body, paid him their homage, that he could not namo tho day of their deliverance bnt that the time was not remote, when they wonld issue together from their prison.” The Italian journal “Concordia” states that His Holiness is so embittered against the Prus sian government for its decided attitude against tbe Ultramontane party, that no one in his sur roundings dares to nttcr the name of Bismarck and Emperor William before him. He is also said to have recently expressed himself con oeroing the policy of Bismarck towards the Pa pal claims as follows: “I had expected that tho German Catholics wonld bo treated with greater justioe. I do not ooneeal from you that I hoped so able a diplo mat aa Prince Bismarck would not have pro voked discord in the new Empire. All measures that are undertaken against tho Chnrch are always converted to her ultimate gain. They have always reinforced her, hare made her mem bers more compact, have fortified them in their faith.” ^ Jarno. John Piowhandlcs. Near IJtron. Houton Gountt, Ga.,1 September 5,1871. > Editors Telegraph and Messenger: “John Plowhandles,” in the Septenqjier number of the Farm and Home, is down npon the way onr daddies did, and wishes somebody wonld muzzle “Plain Farmer,” from near Byron, Houston county. No doubt bnt he wishes my mouth was her metically sealed, as I will, in apite of him, occa sionally show np the absurdity of his preten tions. “Plowhandles" professes to be a firstrste scientific farmer, and so he is on paper. He. talks fanning and writes farming very well. I haven't the smallest idea, however, that he ever lost a drop of sweat in his life following the plowhandle, and donbt, capitally, his ever nailing on a plowhandle, or ever tying a hame- atripg. “Plowhandles" is all tho time writing about five or six bushels of corn per acre and two hundred pounds of seed cotton per acre. Now if he has ever attempted to farm at all, that is about the amount of corn and cotton he made on his plantation, and thepoorfellow thinks every crop in the whole country is like “ITowhandles” seems to have wretched mules on the brain. No doubt hia mules look as bnl and aa wretched as they well can. I guess he does not see them fed and watered often, as he spends so znuch time in reading tbe works of Toll, Von Thaer, London, Liebig and others of equal eminence. Planters that farm on paper in a comfortable room, with a pitcher of ice water by their side, generally baTe poor, wretch- ed looking mules, and everything else on their plantation looks very bad, uso. My friend F. talks very fluently shout Bou- staganlt, Buel, Sanford and others and general ly sprinkles in the usual amount about subsoil- ing and under drainage. This class of fanners generally make from three to five bushels of com per acre, and everything else on the plan- tation in proportion. “Plowhandles" knows too much about Bousinganlt and Liebig to make a successful fanner. He makes poor crops, and no donbt ha feels bad, and if an opportunity offers he bolts for some sgricuUnral convention 'and endeavors to obtain consolation by drafting highfalutin resolutions ssd delivering b uncomb speeches. “Plowhandles" seems to be very bitter in deed ; he says our instincts are as blnnt as onr scooters. That may be so. We do cot pretend to be as sharp, intellectually, as the gifted “Plowhandles.’’ Dull as I am i can assure him that if be continues to sit in his fine rooms and read Tull, Von Thaer, London, Liebig, Voelck- er and others too tedious to mention, and con tinues wasting his time talking about subsoil!rig and under drainage, he Will soon find his pockets as empty as his cribs, and ho himslf will be as bare of flesh as hia -old poverty strick en mules. It is common at this time for the so-called scientific to call snch men as Tarver and Everett fogies. Yea, men that made princely fortnoes farming, no now called by a few upstarts fo gies of the old Bip Van Winkle order. When Tarver and Everett died they were very rich, and they made their fortunes, if I am correctly in formed, by farming. Yes, they were rich, and strange to asy, they never heard of Bousinganlt or Voeicker. “Plowhandles" says much about galded spots and wretched moles. Aa to grided spots, I have none on my plaoe. Yea, wretched moles is his words, bnt I stand ready to bet that my mules are in as fine a condition as hia. I have plowed some of them twenty years. I have one on the farm that haa plowed on an average forty-five acres every year for the last twenty- four years. She is fat and sleek now at this time. ‘Plowfaandles" says my neighbors do not agree with me. This I deny. They utterly rt* padiate the abominable theories of “Plow-han dles,” and they say if snch expensive farming as he reoommends waa pnt into practice, that it would break every farmer in the country in a few years. Now, I am going to make a sweep ing assertion. I have plowed deeper and ma nured heavier than any man in Georgia. On my experimental plat of seven acres last year, I applied thirty loads of lot manure broadcast and plowed it in with a two-horse Brinly, send ing the plow in to the beam, and then run in the same farrow with Murphy's subsoiler. I then applied 540 pounds of guano in the drill, and on a quarter of an mere I applied at the rate of a thousand pounds of guano per acre, and forty bnahela of ootton seed. “Plowhandles” himself wonld call that heavy manuring, wonld he not ? Whore I manured so heavy I made a heavy bale per acre and yet it did not pay. A por tion of the patch I broke with a one-horse turn ing shovel. I made as much ootton there aa where the land was broke fifteen inches deep. “Plowhindlea" would have the people believe that “Plain Farmer” opposes manuring the lands. Not so, however. Last year I cultivated 320 acres. I used 2,000 bushels of ootton seed and 23 tons of guano. How is that for high, “Plowhandles ?’ ? “Plowhandles,” wonld create the impression, if he oonld, that I regard snch men as Hr. Dixon and Simpson aa upstarts. I do not say any snch thing. As evidenoe of sincerity I have adopted Mr. Dixon’s system of farming, because I believe it pays. I cultivated one hundred and forty acres in com this year, with eight furrows to six feet rows. Had my sweep been twenty-six inches wide, it would not have required but five. The entire crop will average fifteen bushels per acre. I never used anthing in my crop after it was planted bat the Dixon sweep. In 18G7,1 ran a two horse farm. That squad was under my control and worked as I directed them. I made on that little farm fifty bales of ootton, one hundred bushels of com, and two hundred bushels of potatoes. At that time I did not know that the distinguished gentlemen Tull, Yon Thaer, Loudon, Liebig, Bousinganlt, and others ever existed on the face of the earth. Neither did I have the enlightened “Plowhan- dlea” to instmot me. I did not use one pound of guano on that crop. Last year my crop suf fered severely with drouth, but notwithstanding all the draw backs, I made ninety bales of cot ton and 1464 bushels of com with fourteen hands and only workod them five and a half days in the week. I know a yonng man that rented a plantation this year, and is to give fifty bales rent for it, and I am reliably informed that he was offered, a month ago, $7,000 profit and he be at no more trouble about the business. I call that good farming. Now, I will make a lively bet that that young man never heard of Bonsingault or Liebig, and furthermore, I doubt his ever read ing ten pages in any agricultural magazine in hia life. I do not think he knows much about ,my friend “Plowhandles.” That young man was taught how to farm by his daddy, and taught in the fields. He was not taught in a fine room with the floor carpeted and a pitcher of ice water by his side. I have a son, 18 years of age, and one negro boy (and a very trifling negro he ia) that have made 400 bushels of com, and I think he will make twelve bales of cotton, and did not use any manure at all on his cotton. He had, how- ever, seme advantages that other young men did not possess. His path has been mado plain by the writings of the gifted “Plowhandles" ho has read Iris letters once a month. I am opposed to erecting a college for agri cultural purposes at the expense of the State. “Plowhandles” speaks of the State endowing the oollego liberally. I will oppose any such proceeding as long as I live. Farmers can never be made in colleges and in the little truck-patches connected with the institution. The plantation is the place to train them. There is one class that it will benefit. A lot of professors will have to be employed. They wonld have n fat time at the expense of tho State. And the very men that would get tho situations would not know as much about practical farming as a common negro. If you wish to make farmers of your sons, put them on the plantation under intelli gent, practical farmers, and there thoy will learn all that is necessary for them to know, to make them successful planters. Do not put thorn under a set of bigoted, fat, ignorant, lazy pro- fessors at some agricultural oo liege. If yon do, they will spoil your boys. When they return they will be too proud to work and probably not able to live without it. Now I am done with yon, “Plowhandles. I have written in a good spirit, and would not write otherwise. I would not under any con sideration wound the feelings of my friend P. If I have written anything that irritates or wounds the feelings of the gentleman, I here- by beg his pardon in advance. I will close by hoping that “Plowhandles" will always have good lack on his little track patches, as he seems to have a great fancy for pop-corn, grass nuts and luoerne, and such like. Now you may consider Plain Farmer muzzled on this subject. I suppose that will afford yon some consolation if your truck patches should fail to make a good yield. Plain Farmer.

M ANY a human being has passed away, for whose death there was no other reason than the neglect of known and indisputably proven means of care. Tho5e near and dear to family and friends are sleep* ing the dreamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted DIC. JOSEPH H. SCnEXCK’S SIMPLE TREATMENT. and availed themselves of his wonderful efficacious medicines, they would not hare fallen. Dr. bchenck has in his own ease proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains that vitality, by his medicines and his directions for their use. te quickened into health* * il viror. In this statement there is nothing presumptuous. To the faith of the invalid is made no representation that ia not a thousand times substantiated by living and visible works. The theory of the cure by Dr. Schcnck’s medicines is as simple as it is unfailing. Its philosophy requires no argument. It is self- assuring, self-convincing. The Beawood Tonie and Mendrake Pills are the first two weapons with which tha citadel of the ma'&dy is assailed. Two«thirds of the cases of consumption originate in dyspepsia and a functionally disordered liver. With this oondition the bronchial tabes ’ sym pathise” with the stomach. They respond to the morbific action of the liver. Here then comes the culminating result, and the setting in. with all its dis tressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION. The Mandrake Pills are composed ol one of Nature’s oblest gifts—the Podophlllum Felt * ■ess all the blood-searching, alterat calomel, but unlike calomel, they “LEAVE NO STING BEHIND.” The work of cure is now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposits in the bowels and in the ali mentary canal are ejected. -The liver, like a clock, is wonnd np. It arouses from its torpidity. The stom ach acts responsively, and the pationt begins to feel that he is getting, at last. A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD. The Seaweed Tonie, in conjunction with tbe Pills permeates and arslmilatej with tho food. Chylifica- tiou is now progressing without its previous tortures* Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is seen to be at hand. There is no more flatulence, no exeexbation of the stomach. An appetite sets in. - Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet iven by an indulgent father to suffering man. -Bhonek’s Pulmonic Syrup comes in to perform its functions and to hasten aud com pi* to the cure. It enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot be cheated. It collects and ripens the impaired and dis eased portions of the lungs. In the form of gather ings, it prepares them for exreetoration, and lo 1 in a very short time tho malady is vanquished, the rotten throne that it occupied is renovated and made new, and the patient, in all the dignity of regained vigor, steps forth to enjoy tho manhood or tho womanhood that was GIVEN UP AS LOST. The second thing is, tho patients must stay in a warm room until they get well: it is almost impossi ble to prevent taking cold when tho lungs are dis« eased, but it must bo prevented or a euro cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding out, especially in this section of the country in the fall and winter season, aro all wrong. Physicians who recommend that course lose their patients, if their lungs are badly diseased, and yet, because they are in the house they must not sit down quiet; they must walk about tho 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—be determ : ned to get well. This has a great deal to do with tho appetite, and is the great point to fwn. To despair of cure after such evidence of its possibility in tho worst cases, and moral certainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Schenck’s personal statement to tho Faculty of his own cure wat in these modest words: “Many years ago I was in the last, stages of con sumption, confined to my bed. and at onetimomy physicians thought that I could not live a week; then like a drowning man catching at straws, I heard of and obtained the preparations which I now offer to the public, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate my whole eystem. They soon ripened the matter in my lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of offen sive yellow matter every morning for a long time. .Is soon ms that began to subside, my cough, fever, pain and night sweats all began to leave me, and my appetite became so great that it was with difficulty that I could keep from eating too much. I soon gained my strength and have grown in flesh ever since.** •*I was weighed shortly after my recovery.** added the Doctor. *’then looking liko a mero skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven pounds; roy present weight is two hundred and twenty-five (225) pounds, and lor years 1 have enjoyed uninterrupted health.* 1 Dr. Sehenck has discontinued his Professional visits to New York and Boston. Ho or nis son. Dr. J. H. Schenek, 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. Thoso who wish a thorough examination with the Respirometer will be charged $5. Tho Eespirometer declares the exact cofidit on of the lungs, and patients con readily learn whether they are curable or not. The directions fortakingthe medicinesareadapted to the intelligence even of a child. Follow these di rections. and kind Nature will do the rest, excepting that in some eases the Mandrake Pills are to be taken in increased doses: the three medicines need no other accompaniments than the ample instructions that ao- company them: Pint create appetite. Of returning health hunger is tho most welcome symptom. When it c jmes, as it will come, let the despairing at onco be of good cheer. Good blocd at oneo follows, the cough loosens, the night sweat is abated. In a short time both of these morbid symptoms are gone forever. Dr. Schenck's medicines sre constantly kept intern cf thousands of families. As a laxative or purgative the Mandrake Pills are a standard preparation ; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a curerof coughs and colds, may be regarded as a prophyloctcric against con sumption in any of its forms.
