MANY a human being has passed away, for whose death there was uo other reason than the neglect of known and indisputably proven means of cure. Those near and dear to (amily and friends are sleeping the dreamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted DR. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE TREATMENT. and availed themselves of his wonderful effica cious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. Schenck has in his own case proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital ity, by his medicines and hts directions for their "use, is quickened into healthful vigor. In this statement there is nothing presump tuous. To the faith of the invalid is niado no representation that is not a thousand times substantiated by living and visible works. The theory of the cure by Dr. Schenck’s mctficiues is as "simple as it is ui failing. Its philosophy requires no argument. It is self-assuring, self convincing. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the first two weapons with which the citadel of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of tlie case* of consumption originate in dvspepsia and a functionally disordered livei. With this condition the bronchial tubes “sympathize” with the stomach. They respond to the morbific action of the liver. Here then comes the cu 1- mmating result, and the setting in, with all its distressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION. The Mandrake Pills are esmposed of one of Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podophillum Pelta tum. They possess all the blood-searching, alterative properties of 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 alimentary canal are ejected. The liver, like a clock. is wound up. It arouses from its torpidity. The stomach acts responsively, and the patient begins to feel that he is getting, at last, A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD. The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food. Chylincation is now progressing without its previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is seen lo be at hand. There is no more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach An appetite sets in. Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet given by an indulgent father to suffering man. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup comes in to perform its functions and to hasten and com plcte the cure. It enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot be cheated. It collects and ripens the impaired portions of the lungs. In the form of gatherings, it prepares them for expectoration, aud Jo ' in a very short time the 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 the manhood or th« womt.n hood that was GIVEN UP AS LOST. The second thing is, the patients must stay in a warm room until they get well ; it is almost impossible to prevent taking cold when the lungs are diseased, but it must be prevented or a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding out, especially in this section ofthe cenntrv in the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians who recommend that course lose 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 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—be determined to get well. This has a great deal to do with the appetite, and is the great point to gain. To despair of cure after such evidence of its possibility in the worst cases, and moral cer tainty in' all others, is sinful. Dr. Schenck’s personal statement to the Faculty of his own cure was in these modest words : Many years ago I was in the last stages of consumption ; confined to my bed, and at one time my physicians thought that I could not live a week;' then, like a drowning man catch ing at straws, I heard of and obtained the pre parations 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 mv whole system. They soou ripened the matter in my lungs, aud I would spit up more than a pint of offensive yellow matter every morning for a long time. As soon as that began to subside my cough, fevei, pain and night sweats all began to leave me, and mv appetite became so great that it was with difficulty that I could keep from eating too much, i soon gained my strength, and Lave grown in flesh ever since.” “I was weighed shortly after my recovery,” added the Doctor, “then looking like a mere skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and twentv-five pounds, and for years 1 have “ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.” Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional visit to New York and Boston. He or his son, Dr. J 11. 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 wish a thorough examination with the Respirometer will be charged five dollars. The Kespirometer declares the exact condition ofthe lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are curable or not. The directions for taking the medicine are adapted to the intelligence even of a child Follow r these dircctona, and kind nature will do the rest, excepting that in some cases the Mah-. drake Pills are to be taken in increased dose 6 ; the three medicines need no other accompani ments than the ample instructions that do accompany them. First create appetite. Os returning health hunger is the most welcome svnintom. When it comes, as it will come, let the despairing be of good cheer. Good blood at once follows, thecongh loosens, the night sweat is abated. In a short time both of these morbid symptoms are gone forever. ’ Dr. Schenck’s medicines are constantly kept iu tens of thousands of families. Asa laxative, or purgative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard preparation: while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a curer of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a prophvlacteric against consumption in any of it* forms. Priec of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, or $7.50 a half dozen. Man drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all drnrgifta and dealers.

How Noth Hawking Bon hi* Wife. S«th Hawkins was * fine specimen of manhood as can be seen—tall, broad shouldered, well proportioned, with eyes of the deper-t o:ue, light hair rnd ruddy countenance, which betokened a familiarity with outdoor occupation. Suffice it to say that he was a farmer, and well to do in this world’s goods, but afflicted with a disease called bash fulneas. He was deeply in love with a pretty sparkling, rogue-eyed lass whom we will call tsallie • Seth could talk politics, farming, and upon all the usual topics oi the day, when not in Sally scompany; but when he really became seated in her pres ence, his oour ige left him, and he left all the talking to be done L y Sallie, answering only in monosyllable. The latter guessed how matters stood with him, and, in a spirit of mis cbnf, increased his embarrassment by several little remark#, which almost drove him to destruction, and made Lrm think his case hopeless. He hud cum ted Sallie a long lime, but had never found sufficient cour age to know his fate. One pleasant Suijday evening he again sailed forth determined to know the worst, and to ask Sallie to be his. He found her sittiug by a bright bla zing tire, in the kitchen, and looking prettier than ever, with her rosy cheeks and laughing eyes. Her mother sift in an olu fashioned rocking-chair, reafll ifjg her Bible, while a .cuhclle, kitting ou a stand close by, served to light the apartment. She seated him iu a chair near the. hye, and after making a few remaiks, to wuich he gave mono syliabioal answers be look-d up, and caught Sallie s eye, and she immedi ately turned her head .with a smile. He felt ilie blood rush to his head and face, as he scanned Ins person over to see if he could discover the ob ject of Bailie’s mirth, when, lo! on turn ing his head half around he discovered some white cloth behiud him. Now the question was*—what could it be ? He awaited another opportunity, and when Sallie Mas not looking, put his hand behind him, and slipping his hand under the edge of his jacket, pro ceeded to push it down into the back of his pants. He felt a relief, -and on looking up, peiceived that Sallie was convulsed with suppressed lrughter. He looked around again, and to his utter astonishment, found that instead of the cloth disappearing, it seemed larger thau before. The perspiration started in every pore, and with a quick, nervous push, he made another effort to get it out of sight. Another opportunity presented itself when he made a finish of it, and with the perspiration standing in drops all over his forehead, he felt almost out of patience with Sallie for building such a hot fire. At the moment of its disappearance Sallie, who had been watching affairs on the sly, burst into a loan peal of laughter, and rushed into the room adjoining, giving the door a violent slaao, which caused the old lady to look up in astonishment, and Seth to seize his hat and rush from the house, to wards home, as fust as his legs could carry him, and in an}’ thing but a hap py frame of mind. Sallie soon made Ikt appearance again, and her mother remonstrated witli her upon her unchristian-like conduct on Sabbath evening. Sallie bore it with as much compos ure as possible, but saia nothing to her mother of the cause of her mirth. Pretty soon the old lady made prep arations for bed, and soon began to search for her night gown: but failing to find it, came out of the bed-room, saying: “Sallie, where is my night dress ? I left it somewhere, and I can’t tell, the life of me where.” ‘Why, Seth Hawkins wore it home!’ she replied. ‘What! wore it home !" Amid tears and laughter, Sadie ex plained the events of the evening to her mother. The next afternoon a boy rapped at the door, and presented a package for Miss Sally, which she soon opened, and found the unlucky night-dress, all nicely washed and ironed, with the following words written on a bit of paper with a pencil: "I am much obliged for thu use of it. Seth. The next time they met, he found his bashfulness had disappeared, and before leaving Sally, he had gained her consent to be his own little wife. Years have elapsvd since that event ful night, but he is never*weary of tell ing his children how he won their mother through the old lady’s night dress. A's Atlanta Robber Cmatured in Au gusta.—jlany of our readers will re collect that, some three or four veers Hgo, an adroit entered the Atlanta Na tional Bunk, in broad daylight picked up a package of several thousand dol lars and was about making his escape through the window when he was cap tured by Hon. James L. Dunning.— He was tried and convicted and receiv ed thirty-nine lashes, besides a sen tence to the penitentiary for five years. On his way to Milledgeville he escaped, and nothing has been heard of him since. He was arrested last Tuesday for robbing the money drawer of George T. .Jackson k jo. — Era. ALABIN A Tin GEORGIA. Which Slate lm* tJbe prettiest (hrln! An Alabama Editor Ex preart Hl* View* on the Sub ject. Whenever “country editors” get out of soap, and can't find anything to write about, they fall back on the pret ty girls of their neighborhood, and try to get up a dispute with somebody else about beautiful young ladies.— Wb> ther this is right or not, we do not pretend to say, but so far as the polit ical right of these editors is concerned, they have that. Georgia country ed itors chi beat the world bragging on their girls, and they even go so far «s to mention names of those of the pret tiest girls. Now', whether these names are ficticious or not, we are unable to say. Such ns Evalina, Josephine, Ida Lee, aud iVJurie Antoinette may be real nhriiQS, and may not be, just as other things in this world are, aud are not. We have not thought it nece&sa rj to “puff” the young ladies of Mont gomer , for they are able to speak for themselves, but when it comes to that the editor of a country newspaper, in a one-horse Georgia town, makes the assertion that the girls iw his precinct are fare more beautiful thau any oth ers in the South, we feel called upon to hurl the falsehood back in his teeth, and say to him, “Lord Angfus thbu hits -d. If we thought it necesftary, we could mention the names of sonic young ladies of our city whose beauty would eclipse the fairest dream of the poet or hi list, arid whose accomplish ments rank thehi foremost in the great list of female champions. Lvery stran ger who has visited Montgomery has been struck with the surpassing boßU ty of our young ladies, their sweet manners, and good , tempers, and it is a fohl slander for a one-horse town to compare its girls with ours. The fact is that the assertion is so contemptible that ave cannot find words to express our indignation. Not only are the young ladies of our city commended for their beauty and accomplishments, but they deserve the highest praise for their treatment of strangers, who come here, and being carried away with the beauty of our young ladies, they try to palm themselves off as richjyoung men, and make proposals of marriage.— Some of the young ladies of this city have sent no less than a dozen of young swains from Georgia howling back to their homes, kicked as high as a kite. This Georgia editof is one of ihem, for he plainly shows that a young lady refused to be fooled into the nice trap that he had set All honor to'the young ladies of Mont gomery, and may they never have the misfortune to be tied to a country quilidriver hailing from the “goober” State. We extend our condolence to the poor fellow, and wish him a spee dy recovery. This being accomplish ed, we send, in the name of the young ladies of Montgomery a card with P. P. C. on it.— Exchange: “A lien Wliat is a Hen.” Greenville, Ala., March 23,1871. Columbus Enquirer: —You have pro voked our humor by your bragging about your smart hens in the papers; but I’ll be ding if you don’t have ta git up and git and diskiver another Amer ikee before you shall have the Jiat. — But to use a camp phrase, “were go ing for you.” So lay off’ your hat, pull off' your coat, uutie your cravat, kick off your shoes, light your cigars, and get up there and let me tell you abuiu a Lincoln county hen what is a hen. Mozart and Giuderilla were charac t rs in their day, but as for soft rnelif fluous music and sweet inspiring melo dies, volume, intonations and cadtnse of voice, your hens aiu’t no where to our Betsy. The lute and violin ain’t no where either, and old Homer with his evleen harp ain’t no where, and Madam Anna Bishop no where, and Jenny Lind no where, Madam Paiti no where, and old Simon Cone and Billy Woodly no where, and old Joe Sweeny with bis magic touch and inspiration on the cat gut ain’t no where*, and John Seals and Sweep Billups on their ban jo no where—that is to say, to onr Betsy, what we are telling you about, from the county of Lincoln, and State aforesaid, as she ean beat all of them, strings easy and hot half try. We do not know whether She is larger or smaller than other hens, but she has quite a martial and majestic walk among the poultry, although she has, never been tor Alabama, Paris or Greece to cultivate her manners. She walks entirely without either Parisian or Grecian bend, and like our common barn yard hens, only a little more so, has a great fondness for company and music, and comes into the house and hums the notes v hen the girls play on the piabd and sings for the family, and fol lows mbtber and daughters to the kitchen, wood pile, smoke house and over the yard, making every one mer ry with her sweet warbling melodies; and accompanies the children in their ramblee, and takes them over the stream and back again, and sings them to bed and asleep; and to hear her soft chant ing melodies fulling softly about elev en or twelve o’clock upon the air, and you are just as good to find an egg as to Bay “now I lay me down to sleep, and pray the Lord this ken to keep.” That is, if you are scuce of Yggs, and she is not quarrelsome with the head of the family, and not inclined to pro voke the old man Chanticleer if he should happen to crow before her morning hour to arise; and always snows due deference to him whenever S. If. Smith S fb.; Proprietors . there is any of her. own sex about, and sings him to sleep as quick as any of | hie comes about, and always sings to him her most plain!ive ditties. But to illustrate her good temper, behavior and manners, the children when com pany comes in will pat her on her bqck and say, “Sing Betsy,*’ -and she com mences immediately “How firm a foundation” or some other tune; and pat her on the back again and sav “Sing loud Betsy,” and she pitches her octaves at once to 0, the highest note; and pat her softly and say “Sing low, Betsy,” and she immediately drops from her O note down to a solo. But her most redeeming trait is in the last riffle of, the science. Pat again and say, “Betsy, gi t up in this chair and sing loud nnd lay me an egg ’’and she wilt us quickly ascend the chair as Napoleon the throne, singing aloud “Hail, Columbia,” or some other favor ite song, then spread herself out and lay yon an egg. I only wish I had time to tell you in time for the about Betsy, a hen what is a hen* It is not my hen, but Maj. Barksdaiejs*. Jk Poet’s Adventure- tn tJcorgla. A correspondent of fhc New York Ffowie Journal says; * Down at Allntoona Pass, in the State of Georgia, I was told a good other day, which confirms the truth of the old line, “Music hath churmt to soothe the savage breast/’ etc. L6rtg time ago, the country about Allatoona was the happy rallying ground of the Cheiokee Indians, who were wont to hold the annual festival of the Green Corn Dauce ut that place. About the year IB3G, the poet John Howard Payne, author of the well known song of “Home, Hweet Home/' being engaged on a piece of literary work illustrative of peculiar national customs, desired to attend the GreVn Corn Dance of the Cherokee Nation, for the purpose of writing it up from personal observation. With this iu teut he applied to his friend, Rev. 0. W. Howard, of MilledgeViile, who warn ed the poet of the danger of his pur posed undertaking, on account of the great, disturbances among the Chero kecs, from horse thievs aud other out laws, by which the presence of while men had been iorbicfden. This exclu sion was enforced by a vigilance force -of the Georgia State Guard, which had resulted in the famous persecution and imprisonment of the missionaries, Messrs. Worster and Butler, of which very much was published at the time-. This danger did not deter the poet from carrying out his desperate project of witnessing the Green Corn Dunce. Accordingly, he proceeded to Allatoo nu, and fell into the hands of the State Guard, by whom he was placed under guard as a dangerous character. As the weary night wore on, the poet lay dozing by the camp fire, and the rough sentinel, to keep liimseif from falling asleep, would alternate between curs ing, drinking, chewing and singing.— At length he struck up the song of “Home, Sweet Home.” The poet list ened to the words of his own song, and when the soldier had finished, said to him: “Friend, lam the author of that f-ong 1” There was so much of apparent sincerity m the poet's man ner that the rough keeper believed him true, and in his uncouth humani ty replied; “‘Well, by —, if you are the author of that song, you have no busi ness to be kept here; Do you see that boss ? Just you mount that beast aud make yourself scarce.” Bayne did not stand oh the order of his going; but went at once, feeling that if his eu.ios lty had got him into a tight place, the power of song had let him out of it. The Atlanta says the foregoing is not true; and furnishes the follow ing version of the iucident in the life of Mr. Payne. He was traveling thro’ the Cherokee Nation, at the time tne notorious Bishop commanded the Geor gia Guard —collecting leminisencea of Italian history for publication in anew 4uiencan jsutnal of science, to be es tublished in London, but for want of funds it failed. Whilst ut m Tennessee, Bishop sent a file of men, in the night, and arrested him- — forced him, with vulgar threats,, to mount a horse, and ride, without bri dle or saddle, to Spring Place, in Geor gia. There he was confined tr. a rude stockade for some time, in daily ap prehension es assassination, when by bribery he procured a soldier to take a letter td the Governor of Tennessee, who forthwith demanded the discharge of the prisoner, accompanied with threats ol armed intervention. The Governor if Georgia promptly des patched an officer to the place aud lib eiated Payne. Then came a scene which would melt the heart of iiiut.. He was seated on his pony, with his cloak and blanket .buckled on his saddle, and left for Tennessee; but before he passed the limits of the town his ciroiuglo broke, and he fell to the ground. Never hav ing saddled a horse, he gave up in des pair, and wept like a child. Two wo men, washing near by, seeing his dis tress, came forward and fixed his trap pings, helped him up, and encouraged him with kind words, and directed him on his way, where he safely arriv ed, and then way to Knox ville, and thence to Washington. It wae tho singing of “Home, Sweot Home,” that touched the rude lieuten ant’s h»uft and saved tli* poet’ life. Mrs. A..” \I.
