Dr. SCIIEACK Advices Consump
tives to goto Florida in Winter.
Having for the last thirty-five rears devoted
my whole time and attention to* the study of
lung diseases and consumption, I feel that I un
derstand fully the course that ought to he pur
sued to restore a tolerably bad case of diseased
lungs to healthy soundness. The tin t and most
important step is for the patient to avoid taking
cold, and the best of all places on this continent
for this purpose in winter, is Florida, well down
in the state, where the temperature is regular,
and not subject to such variations ;is in more
Northern latitudes. Palatka is a [mint I can re
commend. good hotel is kept there by Petef
mau. Last winter I saw several persons there
whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who.
under the healing influence of the climate and
my medicines, were getting well.
One hundred miles further down the river is a
point which I would prefer to Palatka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are loca
ted there. I should give a decided preferem eto
Mellonville. It is two miles from river or Take,
and it seems almost impossible to take cold there.
The tables in Florida might be better, and pa
tients complain at times but that is a good sign,
as it indicates a return of appetite, and wlien
this is the case they generally increase in flesh,
and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and many
other places in various parts of Florida, can be
safely recommended to consumptives in winter.
My reasons for saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there is
a less even temperature, and it is not necessary
to say that where a consumptive person exposes
himself to freunent colds he is certain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well down
into the State out of reach ot the prevailing east
winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almost anv
other of the localities I have named, will benefit
those who are troubled with a torpid liver, a dis
ordered stomach, deranged bowel*, sore throat
or cough, hut for those whose lungs are diseased
a move southern point is earnestly recommend
ed.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, I was profes
sionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where I saw and ex
amined ou an average five hundred patients a
week. A practice so extensive, embracing ev
ery possible phase of lung disease, has enabled
me to understand the disease fnllv, and
hence, my caution in regard to taking cold. A
person may take vast quantities of “Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills,” and yet die if he does not avoid taking
cold.
In Florida, nearly every body is using
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, for the climate is
more likely to produce billions habits than more
northern latitudes. It is a well established fact
that natives of Florida rarefy die of consump
tion, especially those of the southern part. On
the other hand, in New England, one third, at
least, of the population die of this terrible dis
ease. In the Middle States it docs not prevail
so largely, still there are many thousands of ea
ses there. What a vast percentage of life woud
be saved if consumptives were as easily alarm
ed in regard to taking fresh cold as they are
about scarlet fever, small pox, &e. But" they
are not. They take what they term a little cold,
which they are credulous enough to believe will
wear off in a few days. Thev pay no attention
to it, and lienee it lays the foundation for anoth
er and another still, until the lungs are diseased
beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in a stock of Scfienck’s
Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic, and
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. I
recommend these particular medicines becaue I
am thoroughly acquainted with their action. I
know that where thev are used in strict accord
ance with ray directions they will do the work
that is required. This accomplished, nature will
do the rest. The physician who prescribes for
cold, cough or night-sweats, and then advises
the patient to walk or ride out every day, will
be sure to have a corpse on his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines’ in ac
cordance with the printed directions, exceut in
some cases where a freer use of ;he Mandrake
Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone to
the stomach—to get up a good appetite. It is al
ways a good sign when a patient begins to grow
hungry. I have hopes of such. With a relish
(or tood and the gratification of that relish comes
good blood, and with it more flesh, which isclose
l.v followed by a healing of the lungs. Then the
cough loosens and abates, the creeping chills
and clammy night-sweats no longer prostrate
and annoy, and the patient gets well, provided
ie avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptive who have
net the mean's to go to Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope for such? Cer
tainly there is. My advice to such is, and ever
has been, to stay in a warm room during winter,
with a temperature of about seventv degrees,
which should be kept regularlv at that point,
by means of a thermometer. Let such a patient
take his exercise within the limits of the room
by walking up and down as much as his strength
will permit, in order to keep up a healthy circu
lation of the blood. I have cured thousands by
this system, and can do so again. Consumption
is as easily cured as any other disease if it is ta
ken in time, and the proper kind of treatment is
pursued. The fact stands undisputed on record
that Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake Pills,
und Seaweed Tonic ha ve cured verv many of
what seemed to be hopeless cases of consump
tion. Go where yon will, vou will be almost cer
tain to find some poor cons'umpti ve who has been
rcscured from the very jaws of death by their
use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everyboky should keen a supply of them on hand.
They act on the liver better than calomel, and
leave none of its hurtful effects behind. Infant
they are excellent in all cases where a purgative
medicine is required. If you have partaken too
freely of fruit and diarrhoea ensues, a dose of the
Mandrakes will cure you. If you are sublect to
sick headache, take a dose of the Mandrakes
and they will relieve you in two hours. If you
would obviate the effect of a change of water, or
the too free indulgence in fruit, take one of the
Mandrakes every night or every other night, and
you may then drink water and eat watermel
lons, pears, apples, plums, peeclies or corn, with
out the risk of being made sick by them. They
will protect those who live in damp situation's
against chills ami fevers. Try them. They arc
perfectly harmless. They can do you good on Iv.
I have abandoned my professional visits to
Boston and New York, but continue to see pa
tients at my office, No. 15 N. SIXTH street. Phil
adelphia. everv Saturday, from 9 a. m. to 2 p. m.
Those who wish a thavough examination with
the Respirometer will be charged five dollars.—
The Respiromcter declares the exact condition
of the lungs, and patients can readilv learn
whether they are curable or not. But I desire it
distinctly understood that the medicines de
pends upon their being taken strictly according
to directions.
In conclusion. I will say that when persons
take my medicines and their systems are
brought into a healthy condition thereby, they
are not so liable to take cold, yet no one with
diseased lunars <au boar a sudden ch ange of at
mosphere without the liability of greater or less
irritation of the bronchial tubes.
Full directions in all languages accompany
my medicines, so explicit and clear that anyone
can use them without consulting me, and can
be bought from auv druggist.

county, in which one of them was se
verely but not dangerously wounded
by a pistol shot from the hands of the
other part}’. The dfficulty was be
tween George W. Bowling and It. B.
Dowell, both of Clinton, in which
Bowling was wounded by Dowell.
The facts leading to and concerning
the difficulty, as near as we could ob
tain them, are briefly as follows;
It. B. Dowell, a young lawyer of
Clinton, formerly Attorney General of
that Circuit, married Miss Ida Bowling,
on the evening of the 22d insfc. The
marriage was bitterly opposed by the
young lady’s father, George W. Bow
ling, an old and prominent citizen of
that town. They were married with
out the knowledge of the young lady’s
father. A few moments after the wed
ding, which took place at a neighbor
ing house, the father appeared and
succeeded in getting his daughter to
return home with him, not however
until he had had a fisticuff difficulty
with young Dowell. The young bride
remained with her father. and the
| next morning Dowell endeavored to
| see his wife, but was prevented by
Bowling, who forbade him entering
his premises. So the matter stood un
i til yesterday, when all the parties, Mr.
Bowling and his daughter and Dowell,
met in this city. About 12 o’clock as
Bowling and his daughter were pas
sing down Gay street near Cumber
land and ju-t in front of Jack Lowe’s
saloon, Dowell caught up with them
and, in an effort to get possession of his
wife, or have an interview with her,
the difficulty took place between Bow
ling and Dowell. Two shots were fir
ed by Dowell, the first taking effect
upon the person of Bowling, hitting
him in the thigh near the hip joint,
causing a painful flesh wound. The
second fire missed Bowling and pass
ing through the front door of Lowe’s
saloon, lodged in the wall on the oppo
side of the room. Bowling endeavor
ed to shoot, but his pistol, which ap
peared to be a small Smith & Wesson,
failed to fire. After the second shot
by Dowell, he passeu into the store of
MeEwen into which his wife had re
treated. Bowling walked up the
street a few doors to the rooms over
Major O’Conner’s store where medical
aid was summoned and his wound
dressed.
The excitement can be better imag
ined than described. In a few mo
ments the street was crowded with
people, anxious to learn the particu
lars.
On yesterday a writ of habeas corpus
was sued out in the criminal Court of
Knox county, by l/owell, alleging that
his wife was restrained of her liberty
by her father, and asking her release.
The case was heard by Judge M. L.
Hall, at twelve o’clock, in the rooms of
Maj. O’Conner, from which’Mr. Bow
ling had not been removed. From
the evidence introduced, the Judge
was of opinion no unlawful means of
restraint had been resorted to by Mr.
Bow ing—that the young lacy had
been free to act for herself, and conse
quently declined to grant the petition,
bur gave to all parties some most ex
cellent advice, urging them to refrain
from violence, and to let the young la
dy make up her mind uninfluenced by
either party.
The occurrence was deely regretted,
and it is hoped yesterday’s work
which came so near ending in a terri
ble tragedy, may be toe hist of it.
Mr. Bowling with his daughter re
turned to Clinton on the afternoon
train. *
Mr. Dowell was put under arrest by
the Police to answer the charge of dis
turbing the pence and violating a city
ordinance of shooting within the cor
poration, but no other action was ta
ken against him.
The Irish Farmer’s Gazette pub
lishes the following from Prof. Dick,
of the Edinburgh Veterinary College,
on the manner of milking:
The operation ‘of milking is perform
ed differently in various parts of the
country. In some .the dairymaid dips
her hand in»o a little milk, and suc
cessively stripping the teat between
her fingers and thumb unloads the un
der. This plan, “however, is attended
wish the disadvantage of irritating
more or less the teat, and rendering it
liable to cracks and chops, which are
followed by inflammation extending
to the rest ol the quarter. This ac
counts for the diseases occurring mole
frequently among the cows under the
charge of one milker than it dots in
those under the charge ol another;
and as this practice is moie common
in some parts of the country than in
Others it also ace unto lor the disease
being mu re common in these parts.—
inis plan of rniikii g, where the irrita
tion is i ofc euflieani to t xciU the ex

Those effects, may be, and are, al
most entirely avoided, by tno most
scientific plan of milking adopted in
other parts of the conutry, where, in
stead of drawing down or stripping
the teat between the thumb and sin
g rs as I have stated, the dairy-maid
follows more closely the principles
which instinct has taught the calf.—
She first takes a slight hold of the teat
with her hand, by which she merely
encircles it, then lifts her hand up so
as to press the body of the udder up
ward, by which the milk escapes into
the teat; or ii‘ (as is generally the case
when some hours have elapsed before
the mi.king times) the teat is full, she
grasps the teat close to its origin with
her thumb and fore-finger, so as to
prevent the milk which is in the teat
from escaping upward; then making
the rest of to close from
above down ward in succession, forces
out what milk may be contained in the
teat through the opening of it. The
hand is again pressed up and closed
as before, and thus, by repeating this
action, the udder is completely emptied
w ithout the coarse tugging and tearing
of the teat which is so apt to produce
disease.
The Angers Book.
One night I was playing
With Josie and Phil,
Till darkness had gathered
All over the hill.
We parted repeating—
“ Good-night for a year;
Before our next meeting,
Auothor is here.”
And late, just as slumber
Was elusiug my eyes,
I thought a bright angel
Came down from the skies,
And in his arms folded
I clearly could see
A volume for Josie,
For Phil and for me.
Three beautiful volumes
All seeming alike;
And calmly he waited
Till midnight should strike.
I asked him, ‘‘Kind angel,
Allow me to look,
Though but for a moment,
Within my own book.”
“Ah, child !” he made answer,
“No oue in this dime
Can see to decipher
A volume of time.
All closed are its pages,
Their number unknown,
Save to Him who appointed
The books as thine own.
*
“’Tis page by page only,
You ever wid see
What in it is written,
Though written for thee.
The hour now is striking,
Here take it with care;
And, child, never open
One page without prayer.”
He gave me the volume,
And hasted away;
I found, wheu I took it,
Each page was a day.
The hist page this morning
I opened with prayer,
And I could discover
God’s blessing was there !
How Old Are You i
There is a good deal of amusement
in the following magic table of figures.
It will enable you to tell how old the
young ladies are. Ju»t hand tiiis ta
ble to a young lady and request her
to tell you in which column or col
umns her age is contained, add togeth
er the figuses at the top oi the columns
m which her age is fouud, and you
have the great secret. Thus suppose
her age to be seventeen, yuu will hnd
that number in the first and hftn col
umns, and the first figures of these
two columns udued make seventeen.—

The Pans Droit tells a funnv
story about a man who drove a fat
horse and n lean dog to ma:k--t one

would take fur the horse, and on this
query the man made reply that he

want your dog, there is hardly a pound
of meat ou his bones,’ said the butch
er. But the man would only sell the
two beasts together, and said, “I will
sell the dog for nine hundred and nine
ty-five francs.” ‘Are you mad? quoth
the butcher. “But,” continued the
men, “I will throw in the horse for five
francs more. Finally, the butcher,
who was sadly in need of meat, bought
the two at the price asked, and de
par ed. But a policetnau had seen
the barter, and thought it suspicious;
so he arrested the man. who explained
mattem by §ay?hg that Be was a ser
vant, whose master had died, and com
missioned him to sell the, herse for the
benefit of the heirs, while he had be
queathed to him his dog. This was
the reason of his ref.is and to sell the
beasts separately. The hair*, howev
er, have sued him, for he gave them
the five francs received for the horse,
keeping the nine hundred and ninety
five francs for his own use.
Tw« Whoppers.
The old Radical Tycoon, Ben Wade,
who has been sent by Grant, to look
after his land speculations iu St. Do
mingo, made a speech the other day
to a little knot of B iez’s adherents,
who gave Ben and his fellow- commis
sioners a characteristic Domingo ser
nade, in which he Stated to the semi
savages of tho God-forsiken island
that ‘nobody under our flag campjUsius
“of the Government, becau e it harms
“nobody. Onr flag is the guardian
angel “of the citizen.”
It is very certain that the eommis
soner is mistaken or that his party in
Congress are great liars. He says no
body complains of the Government.—
They declare that the whole white
population of the South not only com
plain of the Government, but are now
actually iu a state of quad war against
it. A bill has just passed one Houae
of Congress known as the Ku-Klux
bill, which provides for the inaugura
tion of actual war against the South
ern States; because, it is alleged, the
people of the South do compluiu of
the Govern meat—its illegal exactions,
its usurpations and its umestrained
tyranny.
The statement that the present Gov
ernment of the United States “harm
nobody,” sounds strangely to us of the
South, when, for the last five years of
pretended peace, untold and hitherto
uheard of, wrongs and injuries, both
to person and property, have been
ruthlessly inflicted upon our people.—
The Government ‘harms nobody’ when,
through its agents and petty military
despots, it introduces ‘the sweat-box,’
and consignee innocent citizens to its
horrible punishment! Nobody is
“harmed” wheu peaceable citizens are
arrested without legal warrant and
kept confined during tho heat of an
intense summer iu loathsome cells aud
military dungeons ! Nobody
ed” when the people of the South are
arrested in tbeir beds in the dead of
nigllt, hurried off for more than two
hundred miles, confined iu the damp,
unhealthy casemates of a Southern
fort, pinioned to a bench, and placed
before a loaded cannon’s mouth, with
the fuse lit ready to discharge the
contents upon, tue heart of the victim,
in order to exact a lie to enable the
Government to take the lives of other
citizens against whom no testimony
could be found ! Is no one “Larmed”
when citizens are arrested, hand-cuff
ed, loaded with chains, and compelled
to march to Atlanta because they re
fused to permit the bpies of the Feder
al Government to pass over a toll
bridge without first paying the usual
charge ? Is no “harm” doue wheu lead
ing citizens are arrested, taken to Ma
con, and tried before oue of the lowest
aud dirtiest villians that ever disgrac
ed any country, because that citizen
had merely attempted to hive vindi
cated and enforced the laws of tho
State? Is nobody ‘harmed” when the
property and lives and character of
the mass of the people is consigned to
the tender mercies of ignorant, brutal
negroes, jail-birds, scalawags and car
pet-baggers—when the State Govern
ments are turned over to such crea
tures as Bullock, and Holden, and
Clayton, and Smith, and Warmouth V
Surely the “head-devil” of Radicalism
knew that he was giossly misrepre
senting the condition of a flairs in the
United States vcben he gave utterance
to the above sentiments.
But the Tycoon didimt stop 5 here
iu his misrepresentation of the mer
man situation. He added, “freedom is
complete every mail stands on the
same platfoim and has the same
lights.” The old reprobrate that said
this was one of the leading spirits in
the faction which placed the experi
ence, the intelligence and the patriot
ism of the Southern States beneath the
heel of the ignorant, African. The dir
tiest, and most debauched, and igno
rant negroes are made competent to
hold office in the South; have been
made Lieutenant-Governors, Sena
tors, Representatives in Congress, and
members «of the State Legislatures,
and of the Judiciary, where such men
as St phens, and Johnson, and Jen
kins, and Bit ekt nridge; Mason and
Hunter, and Stuart; Hampton and
Buth r, and Kershaw; Wa ts and Shor
ter, and Foisjth, have been dtnied the
privilege of exercising the of
a Justice of the Peace or County Con
stable. And this is the country in
