will prevent and cure any disease resulting from
a deranged liver.
It will regulate its functions and thus cure all
diseases caused by-the failure of its healthy ac
tion.
It has been used for a great number of years,

CHARLOTTE, N. C., Sept. 24, 1868.
I have used Dr. O. S. Prophitt’s Liver Medi

I>r. SCISENCK Advices Consump
tives to gro to Florida in Winter.
Having for the last thirty-five vears devoted
my whole time and attention to tlie studv of
lung diseases and consumption, I feel that I un
derstand fully the course that ought to be pur
sued to restore a tolerably had case of diseased
lungs to healthy soundness. The first and niot t
important step is for the patient to avoid taking
cold; and the best of all [daces on this continei.'t
for tins purpose in winter, is Florida, well down
iu the State, where the temperature is regular,
and not subject to such variations as in more
Northern latitudes. Palatka is anoint I can re
commend. A good hotel is kept there by Petef
man. Last winter I saw several 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 preference to
Mellonville. It is two miles from river or lake,
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 sigr ,
as it indicates a return of appetite, and when
this is the case they generally increase iu llesli,
and then the lungs must heal*
Jacksonville, lliberuia, Green Cove, and mam
other places in various parts of Florida, can be
safely recommended to consumptives in winter.
My reasons for saying so are that patients arc
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 freouent colds he is certain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well down
into the State out of reach of the prevailing east
winds and fogs. .Jacksonville, or almost any
other of the localities I have named, will benef t
those who are troubled with a torpid liver, a dis -
ordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore tliros.t
or cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased
a more southern point is earnestly recommend
ed.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, T was profes
sionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where I saw and e> -
anuned on an average five hundred patients a
week. A practice so extensive, embracing ei
ery possible phase of lung disease, lias enabled
me to understand tlie disease fullv, and
lienee, my caution in regard to taking cold. Y
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. 0
In Florida, nearly every bodv is using
schenck’s Mandrake Pills, for the climate s
more likely to produce billions habits than more
northern latitudes. It is a well established fact
that natives of Florida rarely die of consump
tion, especially those of the southern part. On
the other hand, in New England, one third, ?t
least, of the population die of this terrible dis
ease. In the Middle States it does not prevail
so largely, still there are many thousands of ca
ses there. What, a vast percentage of life wou 1
be saved if consumptives were as easily alarm
ed in regard to taking fresh cold as thev are
about scarlet fever, small pox, Ac. 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. They pay no attention
to it, and hence it lays the foundation for anoth
er and another still, until tlie lungs are diseased
boxond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in a stock of Schenck’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 they are used in strict accord
ance with my directions they will do the work
that is required. This accomplished, nature will
do the rest. The physician who prescribes for
cold, cough ov night-sweats, and then advises
the patient to walk or ride out every dav, will
be sure to have a corpse on his hands before long.
Mv plan is to give my three medicines’ in ac
cordance with the printed directions, exeeot in
some cases where a freer use of ;lie Mandrak e
Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone t:o
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
tor food and the gratification of that relish comes
good blood, and with it more (lesli, which isclose
ly followed, by a healing of the lungs. Then the
cough loosens and abates, tlie creeping chills
and clammy night-sweats no longer prostrate
and anno}-, and the patient gets well, provided
je avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptive who have
net the means 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 seventy degrees,
which should be kept regularly at that point,
by means ol 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
tins sy stem, and can do so again. Consumption
is as easily cured as any other disease if it is ta
ken in time, anil the proper kind of treatment is
pursued. The fact stands undisputed on record
that Schenck s.Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake Pills, ‘
end Seaweed Tome have cured very many of
what seemed to be hopeless cases or consnnip
, 8 n - *2° Y'bere you will, you will be almost cer
tain to find some poor consumptive who has been
rescured from the very jaws of death by their
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
every keep a supply of them on hand.
1 hey act on the liver better than calomel, and
leave none of its hurtful effects behind. In fact
they are excellent in all cases where a purgative
medicine is required. If you have partaken too
freel v of fruit and diarrhoea ensues, a dose of the
Mandrakes will cure you. If you are subject to
sick headache, take a dose of the Mandrakes
and they w ill relieve you in two hours. If you
would obviate the effect of a change of water, or
the too ace indulgence in fruit, take one of the
Mandrakes every night or every other night, and
you may then drink water and eat watermc 1-

Our circle grows less and less. It is

Poulticing the Wrong Man.
At Long Branch, a few rights since,
a Mr. Smith was suddenly seized in
bed with an excruciating pain in the
stomach, which neither brandy, No. G,
nor any other remedy could remove. —
His wife, after trying a number of
things iu vain, and exhausted all her
stock of remedies, left her husband’s
be ; 6ide for the purpose of] getting a
warm application. Guided, on her re
turn, by a light w hich was shining in a
chamber, and which she supposed was
in her own and her husband’s room,
she was not a little surprised to find
her patient apparently in a deep slum
ber. However, thinking that he might
stiil be suffering, she gently raised the
bedclothes, etc., and laid the scalding
poultice on a stomach—but not her
husband’s—W’hich no sooner touched
the body of the person, than he, great
ly alarmed, w’rithing under the burn
ing application, shouted;
“Hallo! hallo! what in the name of
heaven and earth are you about out
there ?” Then with one spring from
his bed, he made for the door, and,
rushing down stairs, declared in a fren
zy of excitement that someone had
poured a shovel of hot coals on lnm.
The woman, overcome with excite
ment and alarm, gave a frantic scream
which brought her husband hurriedly
in from the next room to her rescue.—
Tlie husband was so much excited, and
also so much amused wdth the singular
mistake and the ridiculous position of
liis better half, that he forgot all his
pains; but early next morning he, Lis
wife and trunks left for parts unknown.
The poulticed man still carries his
stomach in a sling, and takes particu
lar pains to lock his door when he re
tires.
Physiological Filed* of Alcohol.
The effects of alcohol upon the
healthy human body has been recent
ly carefully observed by Drs. Parkes
and Wolloitz, of the British army.—
One or two fluid ounces of the stimu
lant *,er day increased the appetite;
while four or more ounces sensibly
diminished it, the effect being more
marked with brandy than with rectifi
ed spirits. Digestion, was, however,
not impeded, nor the temperature low
ered ; but there were strong feelings of
warmth in the stomach, face, Ac., is it
not clear that the temperature was
increased. No direct effect upon the
nervous system was shown by the elim
ination of phosphoric acid, caused by
the action of the brain; but the phys
ical state of the body changed with
the size of the dose, narcotism being
strongly developed when the first very
small amounts were exceeded. The
effect upon the heart was extraordina
ry. The experiments extended over a
period of twenty-six days; and during
eight of them, when water alone was
drank, the heart-beats averaged per
day 106,000: with alcohol, in Uie six
following, they were 127,000, and with
brandy they subsequently reached
131,000. r ihe daily work of Urn heart
is about one hundred and twenty-two
•tons lifted on foot (or 122 foot-tons*);
its extra woik was in the alcoholic pe
riod 15.8 footmens ] er day, and in the
brandy period 24 foot-tons. In clos
ing, the observeiegive it as their opin
ion that the loss ol appetite, the great
rapidity in the h< all’s beats, and . the
narcotism are “all owing to nervous
implications,”.and add 4 we were hard
ly prepared for the ease with which
the appetite may be destroyed and the
heart unduly excited.”
A Dreadful Punishment.— The age
of miracles evidently has not ceased.
.A man went into a revival meeting in
Lyonvitfe, 111., a short time since, and
was making fun of the penitents, when
he fell to the floor, and was carried
out in an insensible condition. A few
clays after he attempted to renew' his
spurt in the Sune place, when he was
stricken with pinaly.vis, and at last ac
c< unis, he had no use of tongue or
limbo. r - -
The Tiger, Brahmin and Pox.
A tiger, prowling in a Hindoo forest,
' was attracted by n bleating calf. It
proved to be a bait, and thfe tiger
found himself trapped in a springing©.
1 There he lay for two days, when a
Brahmin 'happened that way.
“Oh ! Brahmin !” piteously cried
the beast, “have mercy upon me and
let me ont of this cage.”
“Ah ! but you will eat me.”
1 “Eat you! devour my benefactor!
! never could I be guilty of such a deed,”
responded the tiger.
! The Brahmin being benevolently in
! dined, was moved by these entreaties,
I and opened the door of the cage. The
I tiger walked up to him, waived his tail,
and said, “Brahmin, prepare to die; I
shall now eat you.”
“Oh ! how ungrateful! how wicked !
Am I not your saviour V” protested the
| trembling priest
“True,” said the tiger; "very true;
but it is the custom of my race to eat
men when we get c chance, and I can
j not afford to let you go.”
“Let us submit the case to an arbi
trator,” replied the Brahmin, “here
comes a fox; the fox is wise; let us
abide by his judgment.”
“Very well,” agreed the tiger.”
The fox assumed a judicial aspect,
sat on his haunches with all the digni
ty he could master, and looking at the
disputants, said, “Good friends, I am
somewhat confused by the different
accounts which you gi\e of this mat
ter; my miud is not clear enough to
render an equitable jndgmo nt, but if
you will be good enough to act the
whole transaction out before my eyes,
I shall attain unto a more definite con
ception of the case. Do you, Mr. Ti
ger, show me just how you approach
ed and entered the cage; and tiion do
you, Mr. Brahmin, show me precisely
how' you liberated him, and I shall be
üble to render a proper decision.”
They assented, for the fox was sol
emn and oracular. Tne tiger walked
iuto the cage. The spring- door fell
and shut him in. He was a prisoner
inside. The judicial expression faded
from the fox’ countenance, and, turn
ing to tlie Brahmin, he said, “Now you
are %ll right, silly Brahmin; I advise
you to go home as fast as you can,
and to abstain in future from doing fa
vors to rascally tigers. Goid morn
ing, Brahmin, good morning tiger.”
Daniel Webster—An Incident
Many years ago, when Daniel Webster
stood at the summit of his command
ing influence* upon a certam Sabbath
he entered a small Methodu t church
iu the vicinity of Washington. The
number of persona in attendance was
few', and the house and furniture waa
of a very inferior description. The
preacher was a plain, unlettered man,
who had never enjoyed any advanta
ges of ed cation, but who did possess
a heart warmed by the glow and ex
cellence of the Gospel. At the close
of the service, as Mr. Webster was
leaving the house, a clerk of one of
the Departments who had been pres
ent, accosted Mr. Webster and ex
pressed regret that a man of his emi
nence and extensive information
should have been compelled to listen
to so plain a discourse. “You mis
take." replied Mr. Webster, “I have
been deeply interested and moved by
the sermon. As you say, the preacher
has no learning from the books, but
he has evidently been instructed by
the highest of preachers—the Spirit of
God. We go to church, sir, not mere
ly to have our minds enlightened, but
to have the emotions of the heart aw a
keued and excited towards divine
things. This ignorant man, us we call
him, has attained a reach of knowl
edge which no more learning can give.
He has taught us our duty to God.—
May we perform it 1”
Ilow to Make Soap.
The ashes should be put in the 'hop
per’ or leach, a week or two before,
slightly dampened, and about a peck
of slacked lime added alternately with
a barrel of ashes. When you begin
to “run down” your lye do not put on
water (soft water is best) only just
sufficient to cause it to trickle slowly.
Pill an iron kettle that will hold ten
gallons about one-third full of the lyo,
bring to a boil, and if it causes the
beard of tee feat he r to separate readily
from the stem it is strong enough; if
not, boil till it will. Now add the grease
(which should be nice and clean) till
it begins to thicken; boil it one hour,
and then taste by merely touching it
to the tongue. If it causes the tongue
to smart, it is too strong; add more
grease. If if is too weak, add more
lye, boil briskly, and stir all the time
after the grease is put in.
After boiling three or four hours,
drop from the girddle a few drops in
a pan of cold water. If it falls to the
bottom in drops, and leaves *grease
floating on the water, add mere lye
and boil longer, until ty this test u
grease floats. It is then done, and
yon have soft soap.
To make l ard soap of this, put
about a pint of salt to three gallons of
soft soap aud boil ti\l the salt is de
solved. Then take two quaits of lye
“that will bear an egg,” and one quart
of soft water. Pour all in a kettle
while boiliDg, stirring it well at the
time. Let it stand until cold; cutoff
tbe top, throw' the lye which remains
in the bottom out, clean the kettle; put
a pint of strong !ye in the kettle with
your soap, boil till all igynelted; add
about the same quantity of salt, lye
and wafer as at the first boiling; sir
well, let it cool thoroughly, thin cut

A Humas Skull Fousd.— Yesterday
while Loved Gray and Fletcher John
son were out hunting ducks they
found on the river hank, a few feet be
low high water mark, partly imbedded
iu the sand, the skull, aim and leg
bones of a human being. The skr.lt
was picked up and brought to the city.
Medical men who examined it think
it once belonged either to a negro or
an Indian, aged about forty years or
more. All of the upper teeth are in
place and in excellent preservation, ex
cept three front teeth, which were
probably knocked out or fell out by
decay. How it came there—whether
by the washing away of a grave there
or higher up, or whether the person
owning it was murdered or drowned,
of comse is a mystery. Be fliat ns it
may, it is a sad reminder of mortality,
and the inevitable destiny of all ties'll.

Tire Heusou.
We have been frequently asked if
we knew why the liev. R. A. Holland
left our church, and joined the Episco
palians. We did not know, but could
only surmise that he had grown quite
too refined for so humble a people as
the Methodist, and was no longer con
tent to “take an appointment’ from a
.Methodist Bishop—unless he conld
first select one for lnmself, which we
supposed he could not do. We are
confirmed in our surmise by a letter
written some time since to Dr. Cross,
published in the tanner of the Church.
“I have settled the controversy. I
have formed the final decision. I must
go hence. I cannot furry. It costs a
fortune of friendships. Still I must
leave. My views, my tastes, my whole
character, have so changed, that I can-
not work in harmony with the govern
ment of the Methodist Church. My
soul wants red., the rest of congenial
activity. I see in your church, antiq
uity, to excite reverence; authority, to
quell the turbulence of doubt; dignity,
to awe the mind that must have either
the quietude of deference or the noise
of wranglings; and a liturgy that
helps devotion, that trains the wings
of the soul to fly, that plants against
the wail of Heaven a ladder on whoso
rounds of prayi r and praise aspiration
can climb step by step to a vision of
the city all glorious with the light of
God.”— Southern Christian Advocate
Carrier Pigeons.— Although the sys
tem of carrier pigeon postage came in
to more marked prominence during
the siege of Paris, 1 hese birds have a
definite field of usefulness in various
parts of Europe. For many centuries
—as far back as the days of the Cru
sades—the carrier pigeon has been
nsed as a means of rapid communica
tion throughout Europe. These pig
eons are of a special kind. They are
larger than the common house pig
eons, and resemble greatly the wild
pigeon in appearance. The love of
home and tbe sharpness of the eye are
the principle traits whereby the earn
er pigeons may be trusted to make
their long journeys through the air
with safety. It is a noticeable fact in
connection with these birds that when
a well trained pigeon is once dispatch
ed on its travels it knows no pause
until it has finally reached its native
c .e. It does not stop to dally, and
hi st ances are on record wherein a pig
eon, separated from its mate, after a
brief interval of indecision, turned its
back upon its cherished companion
and sped towards home. Some varie
ties of the carrier pigeon are better
than others. Muck of their usefulness,
also, depends upon their training. In
Belgium the highest pitch of perfection
is reached in the matter of the train
ing of these birds. Pigeon-fancying is
also a great feature of Holland, the
Lower Rhine, and the northeast of
France. An idea may be formed of
the immense value of these birds du
ring the investment of Pans when it is
know n that it was an uncommon thing
that a single pigeon should carry into
the city twenty or thirty thousand dis
patches flop friends outsits —tfie mes
sages having been first reduced, by
photography,' to microscopic dimen
sions.
Property of Confederates to ee Re
stored.—Tbe Supieme Court of the
United States lately rendered a. decis
ion, in which the Court declared to bo
null and void, certain legal proceedings
taken before a court in Memphis in.
1803, while that city was in possession*
of the U. S. troops, against one Thom
as A. Nelson, a citizen of that piacp,
but then a resident within the lines of
the Confederate army.
It was pronounced by Mr. Justice
Bradley, ail the Judges concurring,
except Chief Justice Chase, who was
abst nt.
It will be observed that by this de
cision no sale of property, mortgaged
or not mortgaged, belonging to absent
Confederates made by virtue of a d< -
cree of any court of tbe United States,
conveyed any title to the purchaser
thereof. All such sales and proceed
ings are n\ul and void, provided he
was a resident of the Confederacy amt
adhered to the Confederate Stales
Government, and thus unable to ap
pear at his own defense. This, in
principles of international 1 w and in
