DR. O. S. PROPIIITT:
Sir: My 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 whicli
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, Ac., GEO. L. THOMAS.
CHABLOTTB, N. C., Sant. 94, IK6B.
I have used Dr. O. S. Prophitt’s Liver Medi
cine as a tonic, aud found it to be powerful and
efficacious. It is excellent for functional de
rangement of the Liver or constipation of the
bowels; in most cases superceding the necessity
of a regular course of medicine.

CONSUMPT’IOIN,
Its Cure 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 eure. Those near ami 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 his wonderful effica
cious medicines, they would not have fallen.
Dr. Schenek has in 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 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. Schenek’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 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 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 cul
minating result, and the setting in, with all its
distressing symptoms, of
CONSUMPTION.
The Mandrake Pills are ism posed of one of
Nature’s noblest gills—the Podophillum Pelta
tum. They possess all the blood-scaiching,
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 eaual are ejected. 'Die 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
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, 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 star in
a warm room until they get well ; it is nlmost
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 are badly diseased, and yet because
they are in the house they must not sit down
quiet; they must walk about the room ns 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 w ith tho appetite,
and is the great point to gain.
To despair of cure after such evidence of its
possibility in the worst cases, aud 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 my whole
system. They soon ripened the matter in my
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 mv 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, “then looking like a in*ere
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.”
T>r. Schenek has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston. He or his son,
Dr._ J H. Schenek, Jr., still continue to see
patients at their office. No. 15 North Sixth street,
Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. m., to 3
p. ni. Those who wish a thorough examination
with the Resuirometer will be charged five
dollars. The Rospirometer 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 dircctons, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man
drake Pills are to be 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
symiitoiu. W hen it comes, as it will come, let
the despairing be of good cheer. Good blood at
once follows, the c«|ugli loosens, the night sweat
is abated. 111 a short time both of these morbid
symptoms are gone forever.
* Dr. Schenck’s medicines are constantlv kept
in tens of thousands of families. Asa laxative,
or purgative, the Mandrake Pills an? a standard
preparation; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a
curer of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a
jirephylacteric against consumption in any of
its forms.
Price of the Pulmonic Svrup and Seaweed
Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, or $7.50 a half dozen. Man
drake Pills. 25 cents a box. For sale by all

every other object, and incidently any
profit which it might fairly and justly
bring along in its engagement iu its
conduct, and now declaring that he
surrendered all his interest in, togeth
er with his connection with the road,
with the confident expectation of see
ing it iu successful operation in a short
time.
Upon his motion the Stockholders
proceeded to the election of officers for
the ensuing year; when, on counting
out the vote, the following gentlemen
were elected: ,
H. I Kimball, President.
O. A. Lochiuxe, )
Georoe Cook, 7a .
John Harris, | B,r ' oto ™-
Abda Johnson. J
Col. Abda Johnson then ealled the
newty elected President to the
who, upon taking it, addressed the
convention npon the interest before
them. “He urged the active, hearty co
operation of all the Stockholders and
of all the people on the contemplated
line of the road, and warmly pressed
the necessity which lay upon them all
to come up and help in ili9 building of
the road. He assured them that un
less this was done, the road could aud
would go no further, but would come
this way—that he had done all that
he could do, and that without such
aid and such co-operation, the road
must for a while stay as it was, if it
did not cease to exist at all. He
manifested great anxiety iu the carry
ing out of the project, but stated plain
ly,so far as he said might be understood
that the people who were interested
mainly iu the construction of the road
must come up to its aid, if they would
see it succeed, otherwise it must prove
a failure. That he had gone his full
length, and having laid out already
380,000 dollars, he could go no fur
ther. That the Stockholders had paid
iu only the small sum cf 1800 dollars,
that he himself owned no laud, nor
mines, no property along the road,
while others did; that they were the
parties most largely interested; that
State aid could not build tlie road, aud
that they, the people interested, were
the only parties who could, by a pres
ent active co-operatiou in the whole
matter. That if they did not have
money, they had land, and that he
would see to it that cash should be
paid for it at fair prices, to such
amounts as they might be willing to
invest in the stock of the road, and
that thus the road could and would
be buiit, and assuredly bo carried suc
cessfully, and iu a short time, to the
State line. They were now starting
under anew name, and anew admin
istration, and he called for the instant
outlay of new vigor,” While wo do
not propose to give his language, the
above is, sor far as we recollect, a pret
ty fair synopsis of what ho 3uid. Col-
Johnson their concluded the meeting
by a few well-timed remarks as to his
temporary administration, when, on
motion, the meeting adjourned.
This road is now constructed and the
trains are daily running from (Jarters
ville to Taylorsville, within six or sev
en miles of Van Wert, and we under
stand is paying handsomely already.—
The country w hich it is to penetrate is
beyond all question the finest farming
and planting ami nt the same
time is the best mineral region, and
affords the very best lumber iu the
largest quantities, by all odds, of any
other in the State of Georgia. It is
no mere, vaugo statement., but is an in
disputable fact, verified the examina
tion of many competent gentlemen
that, Polk county to day, the rich
est county in the State. Its treasures
yet undeveloped, are a very marvel,
not only in their excellent character
aud quality, but in their boundless ex
tent, and we have the declared judg
ment and opinion of a gentleman who
but lately went to Pennsylvania and
the North on a tour of examination
and inspection, remaining there two
mouths, with a view to inform himself
end get the facts, that no region that
he saw or heard of, but falls far short
of this, and that it is his deliberate
judgement that Polk County is the
richest county, not only in the State,
but in the United States.
No other region has such excellent
iron ores of the very finest description
and inexhaustible in quantity—copper,
marble, slate, gold, silver, and many
others, many of which are of incom
parable value. South-western and
Southern Georgia boasts, and properly
too, of their magnificent forests of
pine, but right here stands a whole
realm of pine, w hich, by the unpreju
dice verdict of railroad coutractors,
aud dealers iu lumber, is altogether
superior to anything of the kind, for
all purposes of construction, which can
be found in those far-famed regions.—
Develop this country, and iu five years
from the day that a railroad shall
open it up to the world, it would pre
sent such a scene ot laborious activity,
wealth, progress and increased aud in
creasing population; such an advance
iu ull values of all property, in that
county, such a building of towns, and
substantial advance and growth in all
the true ekmeuts of real prosperities,
as w ould make it the most desirable
region of the whole Sooth. Extend
the road but a little, and the vast Ala
bama coals fields are at once in her
grasp, and not only that region, but
ull tho points East and South of it,
Cartersviile, Marietta, Atlanta, as far
as to Augusta iu one direction, and
Griffin, Macon, and others, in another,
shall be the instant beneficiaries of
this road. But we have, perhaps,
written, for the present, more than
enough. This road must be comple
ted and extended. It is now the most
important road, in many respects, iu
the State, and the interests at stake
are too valuable to let it languish for
a moment. Let the new administra
tion, uuder anew name, go forward
with anew vigor, and we shall soon
have anew era, not in politics, but in
the just dvelopmeut of those wonder
ful resources with which God has
ble&sed this favored land.
We are unable to explain tho appa
rent discrepancies between the state
ments of Major Cooper aud Mr. Kim
ball, as to the completion of the road,
as will be seen by the tenor of tiieir
statements in the Convention, but we
shall confidently await the day, and
hail it with delight, when all our an
ticipations shall be realized iu the Con
surnation of this railroad scheme, than
which there is no other of greater im
portance to the whole body of the State.

THE POPE.
file Is n VoluhShtj Prlsonwr-A
Singular Tradition.
Mrs. Laura Curtis Bullard, writing
from Rome to the Golden Age, gives
the following interesting sketch of the
present condition of the Papr.cj :
The Pope has constituted himself a
voluntary prisoner in th© Vatican. He
has ordered the omiss on of all tho
customary ceremonies of th© church.
He allows no one to visit th© galleries
and museums of the Vatican without
a permit; and in fact lie is taking
great pains to make himself generally
and thoroughly disagreeable. For an
infallible man, lie exhibits a degree of
ill-temper at the loss of his temporal
power that is rather surprising. Ho
has not u good word for any one. The
journal which is his organ, L’Unita
Catolliea, calls Napoleon 111 a rascal --
a poor compliment to the man who,
more than any other monarch of this
century, has tried to sustain the
temporal power. But Popes, it seems,
are not free from the general weakness,
of humanity, which is to kick a mui*
when he is, or is supposed to be,
down.
There is a tradition in Rome that
if a Pope occupies the chair of St.
Peter for 25 years he will be th© last
of the long line of the Apostolic
Princes—and if Pius IX lives till next
June the tradition will have a chance
to be tested. He Las been a most
unfortunate monarch, and his ill luck
is not confined to himself. It is a
singular fact that every royal house
which has received his blessing has
been remarkably unfortunate. ll©
blessed Maximilian and poor Carlotta
just before tho ill-starred Mexican
expedition. He blessed Francis Jo
seph, Emperor of Austria, just before
his conflict with Prussia and his defeat
at Sadowa He blessed Isablla, Quceu
of Spain, aud sent to her the golden
rose, and sh© lost her tbone almost '
immediately after. He blessed Louis
Napoleon and Eugenie, and they are
exiles and wanderers on the face of
the earth. He cursed Victor Emanuel,
excommunicated him, and he is King
of Italy, beloved by his people,
victorious over his natiou’s em my.
His son Amadeus is the newly elected
King of Spain; one of his daughters
the Queen of Portugal.
fQr Dr. Hall relates the case of a
man who was cured of biliousness by
going without his supper aud drinking
freely of lemonado. Every morning,
says the Doctor, this patient rose with
a wonderful sense of rest, refreshment,
and a feeling as the blood had been
literally washed, cleaned, and cooled
by the lemonade and the fast His
theory is that food will be used as u
remedy for many diseases successfully.
For example, he instances cures of
spitting blood by use of salt; epi
lepsy and yellow fever, watermelons;
kiduej’ affections, celery; poison, olive
or sweet oil; erysipelas, pound- and ernu:
berries applied to the part affected;
hydrophobia, oniuiis, etc. So the t ling,
to do to keep iu good health, is really
to know what to eat, and not what
medicine to take.
