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.

Cnrter*vHlf S Vnn Wert Rail* rand. The nnnunl meeting of the Stock holders of the Carlersviile «& Van Wert Railroad Company was held in the Court House, in this place on Monday the 13th inst., Col. Abda Johnson* President pro Inn., presiding. Various alterations and amendments of the By- Laws, for the better management of the Company’s affairs, were made and passed, and, among other things, the name of the Road changed so that it is in future to be known as “The Cher okee Railroad Cos.” Upon a motion to proceed to the election of Directors, the Hon. Mark A. Cooper, former Pres ident of the Road, made quite an earn' est speech, decliaging all office in the gift of the Stockholders, and gave an interesting account of the trials and difficult ies of the road, from ffs inccp. tion, up to the time of the transfer of a majority of its stock into the hands of Kimball & Cos ; in general terms ex pressing his connection with the road, and the manner of its management, and the reasons therefor, and his final paiting with all his interest in its stock; all of which was based up his earnest desire for the success of the enterprise in the completion of the road, and the assurances and guaran tees which he bad that this desired ob ect would be fully carried out by the present Company. That he had desir ed first the success of the road above 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. Cartersviile and Van Wert Rail road Convention. We attended yesterday the meoting of the stockholders of the Cartersviile and Van Wert Railroad, at Cartersviile.

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.
