1 consider it a boon to suffering females, and
can but hope that every lady in our whole land,
who may be suffering in any way peculiar to

gious.
Prophilfc’s Liver Medicine, if taken properly,
will prevent and cure any disease resulting from
a deranged liver.
It will regulate its functions and tints cure all
diseases caused by the failure of its healthy ac

DR. O. S. PROPIIITT:
Sirz Mv wife has been an invalid for fifteen
years. Doctors all agreed she had “Liver Dis
ease.” In connection with their practice she
used various and noted remedies, none of which
seemed to do any good. Sometime ago I procu
red a bottle of your “Liver Medicine,” of your
agent here, C. A. Harvey, which being given ac
cording to directions, has affected a complete
cure. Respectfully, &e., GEO. L. THOM AS.
Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 24,1868.
T have used Dr. O. S. Prophitt’s Liver Medi
cine as a tonic, and found it to be powerful and
efficacious. It is excellent for functional de

bowels; in most cases superceding the necessity
of a regular course of medicine.

Marion County, Texas, Aug. 1, 1869.
DR. O. S. PROPIIITT:
Dear Sir: I write vou this to inform you that
F have been troubled a great deal with ‘indiges

Medicine, I find great relief. 1 cheerfully re
commend it as a good Family Medicine, and feel
confident that it is good for anything for which
it claims to be an antidote. Very respectfully,

DR. PROPHITT:
Having a severe attack of Dvsentery during
the past s.immer, I was induced to use your Dv

Pain Kill It.
Th is is the celebrated medicine that ran Perry
Davis’rain Killer out of the market, wherever
it was sold. Davis made Prophitt change the
name from Pain Killer to PAIN KILL IT.
For Rheumatism, Neuralgia, or pain of any
kind it has no equal.
For Cuts, Bruises, Burns, or old Sores, it is the
best thing you can use as a dressing.
For Snake Bites or Stings of Poisonous Insects,
it is a perfect ANTIDOTE.
It is good for Colic, Colds, Coughs, or Bowel
Complaints. Its name indicates its naturefullv.
It is truly DEATH to pain.

CONSUMPTION,
Its C l ure and Its Preventive
BY J. H. SCHENCK, M. D.
MANY a human being has passed away,
for whose death there was no other reason
than the neglect of known and indisputably
proven means of cure. Those near and dear to
family and friends are sleeping the dreamless
slumber into which, had they calmly adopted
DR. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE
TREATMENT.
and availed themselves of bis wonderful effica
cious medicines, they would not have fallen.
Dr. Sc.henck basin his own case proved that
wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital
ity, by his medicines and his directions for
tlioir use, is quickened into healthful vigor.
In this statement there is nothing presump
tuous. To the faith of the invalid is made no
representation that is not a thousand times
substantiated by living and visible works. The
theory of the cure by Dr. Schenck’s medicines
is as simple as it is ui failing. Its philosophy
requires no argument. It is self-assuring, sell
convincing.
The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
the first, two weapons with which the citadel
of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the
cases of consumption originate in dyspepsia
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 cul
minating result, and the setting in, with all its
distressing symptoms, of
CONSUMPTION.
The Mandrake Pills are composed of one of
Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podophillum I’elta
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.
Chylification 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 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, Svrup comes in to
perform its functions and to hasten and com
plete the cure. It enters at once upon its work.
Nature cannot he cheated. It collects and
ripens the impaired portions of the lungs. In
the form of gatherings, it prepares them for
expectoration, and lo ! in a very short time the
malady is vanquished, the rotten throne that
it occupied is renovated and made new, and the
patient, in ail the dignity of' regained vigor,
steps forth to enjoy the manhood or the woman
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 of the country in
the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians
who recommend that course lose patients, if
their lungs arc 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
food circulation of blood. The patients must
cep 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. Schcnck’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 my whole
system. They soon ripened the matter in mv
lungs, and 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 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, “theu looking like a mere
skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven
pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and
twenty-five pounds, and for years I have
“ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston. He or his son,
Dr. J If. 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 he charged five
dollars. The Respirometer declares the exact
condition of the 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 these directons, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man
drake Pills are to he taken in increased doses ;
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
symptom. When it comes, as it will come, let
the despairing be of good cheer. Good blood at
once follows, the cough loosens, the night sweat
is abated. In a short time both of tkese morbid
symptoms are gone forever.
Dr. Schenck’s medicines are constantly kept
in 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 he regarded as a
prophylacteric against consumption in anv of
its forms.
Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed
Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, 0r57,50 a half dozen. Man
drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all
druggists and dealers.

Wfco is this? A little careless mid
shipman, itllin" about in a great city,
with his pockets full of money. He is
waiting for the coach; it comes up
presently. Aud he goes on the top of
it, and begins to look about him.
’hey soon leave the chimney tops
behind them; his eye wanders with
delight over the bnrvesis fields. He
smells the honey-suckle in the hedge
row and wishes he was down among
the hazel bushes that he might strip
them of the milky nuts; then he sees a
gie it wained piled up with barley, and
he wishes he was on the top of it;
then the checkered shadows of the
trees tying across the white road, and
then a squirrel runs up a bough, and
he c nnot forbear to whoop and hal
loo, though he cannot chase it to its
nest.
The, other passengers were delighted
with his simplicity and child-like glee;
and they encouraged him to talk
about the sea and the ships, especial
ly Her IVlajesty’s, wherein he has the
honor to sail. In the jargon of the
seas, he describes her many perfec
tions, upon -her peculiar advantages;
he then confides to them how a cer
tain middy, having been ordered to
the mast-head as a punishment* had
seen, while sitting on the top-mast
cross trees, something uncommonly
like the sea-serpent—but finding this
Lent received with incredulous smiles
he begins to tell them how he hopes
that some day he shall be promoted
to have charge of the poop. The pas
sengers hope he will have that honor;
they have no doubt that he deserves
it. His cheeks flush with pleasure to
hear them say so, and little thinks that
they have no notion in what ‘‘that
honor” may happen to consist.
The coach stops; the midshipman,
with hands in his pockets, sits rattling
his money aud singing. There is a
poor woman standing by the door of
the village inn; she looks care-worn,
and well she may, for in the spring
her husband went up- to London to
seek for work. He goes for work, and
she was expecting soon to join him
there, when, alas! a fellow workman
wrote her word how he had met with
an accident, how he was very bad, and
wanted his wife to come and nurse
him. But as she has two children
and destitute, she must walk all the
way, and she is sick at heart when she
thinks that perhaps si.e may die
among strangers before she can reach
him.
She does not think of begging, but
seeing the boy’s eyes attracted to her,
she makes a courtesy, and he with
draws his hand and throws down a
sovereign. She looks at it with in
credulous joy, and then at him.
“It’s all right,” he says, and the
coach starts again, while full of grati
tude, she lures a cart to take her
across the country to the railway, that
the next night she might sit beside her
sick husband.
'J he midshipman knows nothing
about that—and he never will know.
The passengers go on talking—the
little midshipman has told them who
he is and where he is going. But
there is one who has never joined in
the conversation; he is a dark-looking
and restless man—he sits apart, he
sees the glitter of the falling coin, and
now he watches the boy more closely
than he did before.
He is a strong,man, resolute and
di tennined; the buy • with his pockets
full cf money will be no match for him.
lie has told the others that his fath
er’s house is the parsonage at X ,
the coach goes within five miles of it,
and he means to get out at the near
est point and walk or rather run, over
to his home through the great wood.
The man ecided to get down, too,
and go through the wood; he will rob
the little midshipman; perhaps, if he
cries out and struggles, he will do
worse. The boy, he thinks, will have
no chance against him; it is quite im
possible that he can escape; the way
is lonely, and the sun will be down.
>o. There seemed indeed little
chance for his escape; the half-fledged
bird just fluttering down from his
nest has no more chance against the
keen-eyed hawk, than the ligh hearted
sailor boy will have against him.
And now they reach the village
m here the boy is to alight. He wishes
the other passengers “Good evening !”
and runs lightly down between the
scattered houses. The man has also
got down and is following.
The path lies through the village
church-yard; there is evening service,
and the door is wide open, for it is
warm. The little midshipman steals
up the porch looks in and listens.—
Hie clergyman has just risen from his
knees, in the pulpit, and is giving out
the text. Thirteen months have pass
ed since the boy was in a house of
prayer; aud a feeling of pleasure in
duced him to stand still and listen.
He bears the opening sentences of
the sermon; and then he remembers
his home and comes soMv out of the
porch, full of a calm and serious pleas
ure. The clergyman has reminded
him of his father, and his careless
heart is filled with the echoea yf his
voice and of his praters.
He thinksof what the clergy man said of
the care of onr Heavenly fathor for us;
he remembers how, when he left home,
his father prayed that he might be
preserved through every danger; he
does not remember any particular
danger that be has been exposed to,
excepting in the great storm; but h$
is grateful he has e' me home in safely,
ami he hopes whenever he shall be in
danger, which he supposes ho shall be
some day, he hopes that then the
providence of God will watch over him
aud protect hiru. And so pressed on
ward to the entrance of the wood.
“Are not two sparrows,” he hears,
“sold for a farthing ? and one shall not
fall to the ground without your fath
er’s notice. But the hairs of your
head are numbered. Fear not, thre
fore, ye are of more value than many
sparrows.”
The man is there before him. He
has pushed himself into the thicket,
and out, with a heavy slake; ho suf
fers the boy to go on before, and then
ho comes out, falls into the path, and
follows him. It is too light at pres
ent for his deed of darkness, and too
near the entrance of the wood, but he
knows that shortly the path will
brauch cff in two, and the right one
for the Loy will be dark and lonely.
But what prompts the little mid
shipman, when not fifty rods from
the branching of the path, to break
into a sudden run ? It is not fear—he
never dreamed of danger. Some sud
den impulse, or wild wish for home
makes him dash off suddenly after his
saunter with a w hoop and bound.—
Ou he goes as if running a race; the
path bends and the man looses sight
of him. “But I shall have him yet,”
he thinks; he cannot keep up the
pace long. The boy has nearly reach
ed the place where the path divides,
when he starts up a white owl, that can
scarcely fly as he goes whirling along
close to the ground before him. He
gains upon it; another moment and it
will be his. Now he gets the start
again; they come to the branching of
the paths, and the bird goes down the
wrong one. The temptation to follow
is too strong to be resisted; “he knows
that somewhere deep in the wood
there is a cross track by which he can
get into the track he has left; it is on
ly to run a little faster, and ho shall
be home nearly as soon.
On he rushes, the path takes a
bend, and he is out of sight w hen his
pursuer comes where the palh divides.
The boy has turned to the right—the
man takes the left, aud the faster they
both run the further they are asunder.
The white owl still leads him on;
the path gets darker aud narrower;
at last he finds that he’s missed it alto
gether, and his feet are on the soft
ground. He flounders about among
the trees and stumps, vexed with him
self and panting after his race. At
last he hits upon another track and
pushes on as fast as he cm. The
ground begins sensibly to descend; he
has lost his way but he keeps bearing
on to the left; and though it is n >w
dark, he thinks he must reach the
main path sooner or later.
He does not know this part of the
wood but runs on. Oh, little midship
man ! why did you chase that owl ?
If you had kept the path with the
dark man behind you, there was a
chance that you might outrun him, or,
if he had overtaken you some passing
wayfarer might have heard your cries,
and come lo save you. Now you are
running straight on to your death for
the forest water is deep and black, at
the bottom of this bill. Oh, that the
moon would come out and show it to
you!
The moon is under a thick canopy
of heavy black clouds, and there is not
a star to glitter on the water and
mako it visible. The fern is soft un
der his feet as he runs and slips down
the sloping hill. At last he strikes
against a stone, stumbles and falls.—
Two minutes more and he will fall in
to the black water.
“Heyday!” cried the boy, “what’s
this? O.b, how it tears my bands!--
Oh ! this thorn-bush ? Oh ! my arm !
I can’t free!” He struggles and pnnts.
“All this comes of leaving the path,”
he says; “I shouldn’t have cared for
rolling down if it hadn’t been for this
bush. The fern was soft enough. 111
never stray away in a wood at night
again. There, free at last! And my
jacket nearly torn oft' my back !”
With a good deal of patience, and u'
great many scratches, he gets free of
the thorn which has arrested his pro
gress when his feet' were within a
yard ol the water, manages to scram
ble to the bank, and makes the best
of hip way through the wood.
And now, as the clouds move slow
ly onward, the moon shows her face
od the black surface of the water and
the little owl comes and hoots, and
flutters over it like a wandering snow
drift. But the boy is in the wood
again, and knows nothing of the dan
ger from which he lias escaped. All
this time the dark passenger follows
the main track, and believes that the
boy is before him. At last he hears a
crashing of dead boughs, and pres
ently the little midshipman’s voice fif
ty yards before him. Yes, it will pass
the cottage in the wood directly, and
after that his pursuer will come upon
him.
The boy bounds into the path; but
as he sees the cottage, he is thirsty
and so hot, that he thinks he must ask
the inhabitants if they can sell him a
glass of ale.
He enters without ceremony.—
“Ale ” says the woodman, who is sit
ting at his supper. “No, we have no
ale; but perhaps my wife can give thee
a driuk of milk. Come in.” So he
comes in, shuts the door, and while he
sits waiting for the milk, footsteps
- pass.
They are the footsteps, of the pursu
er; who goes on with the stake in his

| hand, angiy and impatient Ihat lio
has not yet come up with him.
The woman goes to the dairy for
| milk and the l>oy thinks she has gone
a long time. He drinks it, thanks her,
| and takes his leave.
It is very dark; but there is a yellow
I streak in the sky, where the inoqu is
plowing up a furrowed mass of gray
clouds, and one or two stars are blink
ing throngh the branches of the trees.
Fast the boy follows, and fast the
man runs on, with his weapon in Lis
hand. Suddenly he hears the joyous
whoop—not before but behind him.
He stops and listens noiselessly. Yes,
it is so. He pushes himself into toe
thicket, and raises his stake, whea the
boy shall pass.
On ho comes, running lightly, with
his hands in his pockets. • A. sound
strikes at the same instant tbs ears of
both, and the boy turns back from the
very jaws of doatl) to listen. It is the
sound of wheels and it draws rapidly
nearer. A man comes up, driving a
gig. “ liilloa !” he says, in a loud,
cheerful voice. “ What, benighted
youngster ?”
“ Oh, is it you, Mr. D.?” says
the boy; “ no, I am not benighted; or,
at any rate, I know my way out of the
woods.” The man drew further back
among the shrubs “ Why, bless tbo
boy,” lie hears the farmer say. “ To>
think of our meeting in this way! The
parson told me that ne was iu hopes
of seeing thee some day this week..
I’ll give thee a lift. This is a lone
place to be in this time of night.”
“ Lone,” says the boy, laughing. I
don’t mind that ; and if you know the
way, it’s as safe as a quarter-deck.”
So he gets into the farmer’s gig, and
is once more out of reach of the pur
suer. But the man knows that the
farmer’s house is a quarter of a mile
nearer than the parsonage, and in that
quarter of a mile there is still a chance
of committing robbery. He determin
ed still to make the attempt, and cuts
across the wood with such rapid strides*
that he reached the farmers gate just
as the gig drives up to it.
“Well, thank you, farmer,” says the
little midshipman, as he prepares to*
get down.
“I wish you good night gentlemen,”
says the man when he passes.
“Good night, friend,” the farmer re
plies. “I say, my boy, it’s dark night
enough; but I have a mind to drive
you on the to parsonage and hear the
rest of this long tale of yours about the
sea-serpent.
The little wheels go on agin. They
pass the man; and ho stands still in the
road to listen till the sound dies away.
Tlieu he flings his stake iuto tho hedge,,
and goes back again. His evil purpo- -
ses have all been frustrated—the
thoughtless boy has baffled him at ev
ery step.
And now the little midshipman is at
home; the joyful meeting lias takeu
place; and when they have all admired
his growth; and decided whom he is
like, and measured his height on the
window-frame and seen him eat his
supper, they begin to question him,
about his adventures, more for tho
pleasure of hearing him talk than a.
curiosity.
,‘Adventures !” says tho boy, seated
between father aid mother on the sofa.
Why, ma, I did write you on ac
count of the voyage, and there’s noth
ing else to tell. Nothing happened to
day— or at least nothin particular.
‘Yon come by the coach we told you
of?’ asked the father. •
“O, yes, papa, when wc got about
twenty miles, there came up a beggar,
while we were changing horses, and I
threw down (as I thought) a shilling;
but as it fell I saw it was a sovereing.
She was veiy* honest and showed mo
what it was, but I didn’t take it back,
for you know, mamma, it is a long
time since I gave anything to anybody.
“Very true, my boy,” his mother an
swers; “but you should never be care
less with your money, and few beggars
are worthy objects of charity.”
“I suppose you got down at the
cross-roads ?” said his elder brother.
“Yes, and went through the woods.
’I should have been here sooner, if I
hadn’t lost my way hero.”
“Lost your way !” said his motLer,
alarmed; “my dear boy, you should
not have left the path at dusk.”
“Oh, ma” said the little midshipman,
with a smile, “your e always thinking
we are iu dauger. If you could see W
sometimes sitting at the jib-boom end,
or across the main-top-mast-cross-tree,
you would be frighteued. But what
danger can there be in a wood?”
“Well, my boy,” she answers. “I
don't wish to be over anxious, and
make my children uncomfortable by
my fears. What did you stray from
the path for?”
“Only to catch a little owl, mamma;
but I didn’t catch her, after all. I got
a roll down a bank, and caught my
jacket against a thornbush, which was
rather unlucky. Ah ! three large holes
I see in my sleeve, and so I scrambled
up agaiu, and got into the right path,
and asked at the cottage for some
beer. What a long time the woman
kept me, to be siv»e, I thought shn
would never come. But very soon af
ter, Mr. IX drove up in his gig and
brought me on to the gale.”
“And so this account of your adven
tures being brought toJ, close,” his
father says, “we discovy there are no.
adventures to telL”
“No, papa, nothing happened-nolh
itig particular I mean.”
Nothing particular. If they could,
have known, they wonjd have thought
lightly in comparison of the d:;ng<
