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.

MANY' a human being has passed away, for whose death there was no other reason than the neglect of know* 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 SEMPLE TREATMENT. and availed themselves of his wonderful effica cious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. Schenck has m his own case proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital ity, by his medicines and his directions for their use, is quickened into healthful vigor. In this statement there is noth tuons. 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, self convincing. The Seaweed Tonic and 31andrake 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 CONSU3IPTION. The 3landrake Tills 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 iu tho bowels and in the alimentary canal ai - e 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 1 as t, A SUBTLY OF GOOD BLOOD. The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food. 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 iu. 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 plete the cure. * It enters at once upon its work. Nafure cannot be 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 all 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, hut it must he prevented OV 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 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 aud as fast as the strength will hear, to get up a good circulation of blood. The patients must keep in good spirits—he 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 feci them penetrate my whole system. They soon ripened the matter in my lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of offensive yellow mutter every morning for a longtime. 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 fiesh 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 twenty-live pounds, and for vears I have “ ENJOYED GOOD* HEALTH.” Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional visit to New York and Boston. He or his son, Dr. J H. Schenck, Jr., still continue to see patients at their office. No. 15 North Sixth street, Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. in., to 8 p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination with the Respirometer will he charged five dollars. The llespirometer declares the exact condition of the lungs, aud 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 directors, and kind nature will do the rest, excepting that in some case's the Man drake Pills are to he taken in in< reused, 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 these morbid symptoms are gone forever. ’Dr. Schenck’s medicines arc 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 be regarded as {> pronhylacteric against consumption in any of its forms. Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, or $7,50 a half dozen. M an drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all druggists and dealers. .JOHN F.

Pla;i for liabiii&r WfUer-Xclons* 1 As lam very successful in raising water-melons, I thought I would send |my plan. The spot of ground you ex pect to plant, prepare well early iu the spring, by plowing the first of | April lay off vour hills eight feet apart < each way, Jig out holes 2 feet deep, 2 feet square; in each hole put half peck of rotted cotton seed; half peck of hog pen manure, and a table-spoon full of salt; mix we.i with a hoe, adding soil : until you get the hole full up so three inches of the surface, then draw on light loose dirt until you get it level; uo not elevate it, fur by so doing, you cause them to die out, when summer comes; draw your hoe around to make a furrow; plant a half dozen seeds in a hill—soon as up, thin out to four, sec ond hoeing, thin to two. Continue to hoe them every four or five days, and just before the vine starts to run, side | with a plow, first one way, then the other—l mean cross-plowing. In a about ten days, give them another plowing and hoeing. Continue to keep the ground loose just as long as you ' can do so without injuring the vines, for in no case should they be moved. Drive little sticks across the vines, thus: X, to keep the wind from blowing them about. By the above plan, I have gathered over 1000 melons from a half acre of ground, some weighing over 40 IDs. Dishing up the War Sffiorrors, Herr Von V ickede, the pleasant Teuton chronicler of the doings of his countrymen, narrates horrors piled up on ghastly horrors on the road from Belfort to Pontarlier, and among them seeing a “bevy of famished women throw themselves upon a dead horse like a pack of wolves, and, tearing it with all sorts of instruments, swaliow morsels quite raw.” He also mentions canibalism, but not vouch for that. But ho concludes as follow; “This is the eighth campaign I Lave been through, but neither in Algeria, nor in Italy, nor in Bohemia, nor even Schles wig, have I seen sights so horrible.”— The war correspondents of the London papers have all come homo, and they are ail hard at work preparing books in which they mean to recoup them selves for the long reticence which was forced upon them by their late Prus sian hosts. One of them, an officer iu her majesty’s service, says that the hor rors he saw and wrote of had all dis appeared from his letters when pub lished in the paper sent to. He vouch es for haviug seen thirty-live Franc-ti reurs stripped naked by their Prussian captors and laid upon their faces in the snow. Sentries were placed over them, with orders to shoot them if they stirred. This went on for a whole night, and in the morning they w T ero all turned over, when threo were found to show signs of life. This terrible drama was then finished by the Prus sian sentinels deliberately passing their bayonets through the bodies. Ben and tlic Bug;gi»t§. The rage of Wade is fearful to be hold. He has turned himself into a volcano of profanity. He asserts that Grant has sent him down here with a pack of damned fools, who, now that their work is done, want to sport around the West India Islands, and scoop up all the snakes and hazards. He swears and sweats, and sweats and swears in the hot sun until one could almost im agine that his great sole was just rea dy to jump out of his body. The fact is, Ben wants to go home. His work is done, and he don’t want to loaf around any longer. He objects to be ing the figure-head of a gang of crazy buggists, who are incessantly talking about scarabeei, umbelliferous and le guminous orders, aracuidse, copropha gi, anthropomorphic, phytelephasiha crocarpa, lucertina, thorictes, and oth er “damned nonsense,” as Ben calls it. The other day one of the buggists came on board with a fat spider strung to a stick. ‘What in the name of heaven is that?’ asked Ben, as the kicking spider was passing him. ‘That, Mr. Wade,’ said the happy buggist, holding up the spider, ‘is a beautiful specimen of the tarantulated lycosa tarantulae. It’s the finest speci men I ever saw.’ The Old War Horse gazed at it one moment, and then growled out, ‘The hell it is. Take it away.’ Soon afterward another buggist came on board with a three-tailed fish, and told Ben that it was the most complete specimen of the homocersal and hete rocersal platessa fleuses that he had ever found. A more disgusted man than Mr. Wade was when he received his information has rarely been seen. I am told that Ben has said that he ex pects next to meet a buggist with a six-toed negro, or a Carib with a doub le row of ears all round Lis head, strung to a pole.— N. Y.

The case "Was that of a negro,'who had been prompted by white Radicals, to test whether the Civil Rights Bill gives to. persons of African descent, the right which white people do not enjoy, of takihg seats in public halls not intend ed fur them. McAlister, the Michigan, was the defendant in the case.

Fiilecnili Aiueiiriuicnt—Court of Common I‘lcas — Ludlow. Upon the venire of jurors for service in this court are several quite respect ablo colored men, and the business usu ally goes on as it did before the war. This morning, when a case was about to be put on trial, a tall, slender Cau casian rose and said: “Judge—l won’t serve as a juror.” Judgo Ludlow— “What. did you say?” Caucasian—“l won’t serve on the jury.” Judge Ludlow*—“Sir, I fine you S2OO, aud order you into custody until the fine is paid.” Caucasian—“Very good:' get your money if you can." Judge Ludlow'—“l direct an officer to take this man.” Caucasian—“ All right; let me rot in jTrison.” Judge Ludlow—“ See here, sir; what does this moan ? You appear to be a respectable man, and I am loth to pun ish a juror, but you must collect your senses, behave yourself like a man, aud know that you are in a court of justice, where such indignity cannot be toler ated. Explain your conduct.” Caucasian —“Well, the truth of the matter, Judge, is that I will not sit upon a jury with a negro.” Judge Ludlow —“That will not do, sir. No matter what men’s piivate opinions upon the subject may be, it is now a part of the law of the land that colored citizens shall also serve as ju rors, and as a magistrate of the law I am determined to enforce it, without consulting my own or any other per son’s individual sentiment respecting it. The presence of colored jurors is no legal ground for your exemption, and I shall have to require you to serve.” Caucasian—“l won’t do it.” Judge Ludlow—“i hen, sir, you must pay the fine of $200; and remain in custody until it is paid; ; and every time you refuse to serve on such a ground us this one I will impose a like fine of $200.” The Caucasian remained resolute, and was escorted off by an officer. “Is civilization a failure ? or has the Caucasian played ©ut T—Philadelphia Telegraph. If there are white men enough in Philadelphia to save it from relapsing into African barbarism, they should raise a subscription to pay the fine in flicted upon this out-spoken Caucasian. This was originally a white man’s gov ernment. Had mixed juries been pro posed at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, the proposition would have been spurned by nine-tenths, ii not nineteen-twentieths of the Conven tion which framed that instrument, and the attempt now by a corrupt fac tion, for their own selfish purposes, to revolutionize our political aud social system, and degrade and demoralize American freemen, is a base usurpation and outrage which ought not to be submitted to by tl*' people.— Sacaumh News. Democratic Rooster.— The New York UeraH's Concord, N. H. corres pondent, giving an account of the Dem ocratic rejoiciug in that city says: A live rooster was one of the comical features on the platform, and just as the President of the meeting commen ced his address, the hugo bird advanced to the front, flapped his wings and gave a crow which echoed again and again through the hall, The incident had the effect to produce round after round of applause, and the speakers all took occasion to allude to it as a favor able omen to the cause of Democracy.

Dr. Boynton says: “If we bury a thermometer fifty fi>et below the surface of the earth, the mer ' cury will remain at the same point the 1 year round, in winter and in summer, showing that the influence of the fair, does not reach below that and» pth. It we carry t he thermometer fifty feet low er I lie mercury will rise one degree, and will rise in the same ratio for eve ry fifty feet we go down. It can be ea sily calculated at what depth all known substances will molt. This would not exceed fifty miles. It will thus be seen that the crust—or solid part —of the earth is exceedingly thin, in propor- tion to the diameter; not so thick ns an egg-shell, in proportion to the size of the egg. With a crust, so thin, con et antly cooling, and producing a pres sure upon the internal masses, it,is pot strange that the bed of oceans should be elevated in a single day, and whole cities have been sunk iu the same space of time. The sides of a volcanic moun tain once broke away, and the livid masses flowed out, forming a rWcr twelve miles wide, which, in its course, melted do.wo six hills GOO feet deep, aud spreading over a siufaco of 1,100 square miles.” WJlut They Arc botfly.

The following prophecy of St. Car ario, Bishop of Artes. in the year 512, predicting liie past aud present mis fortunes of Paris and France, has been singularly verified. It is contained in his book entitled “Liber Mira biles, - ” printed in Gothic characters, and de posited in the ltoyul Library, Paris: The administration, of the kingdom of France vnll be so blinded that they ■shall leave it without defenders. The hand of God shall extend itself over them and over all the rich; all the no bles shall be deprived of their estates aud dignity; a division shall spring up in the Church of God, and there shall be two husbands, the one true and the other adulterous. The legiti mate husband shall be put to flight; there shall be a great carnage, and as great a profusion of blood as in the days of the Gentiles. The Universal Church aud the whole world shall de plore the ruin aud destruction of a most celebrated city--the Capitol anil mistress of France. The altars of the temple shall be destroyed, the holy virgins outraged shall liy from their seats, and the whole Church shall be stripped of her temporal god; but ut length the black eagle and the lion shall appear hovering from far coun tries.
