CON HU 31 P I ION ,
ll* Uiircttnd Its Preventive
BY J. H. SOHMCK, M. D.
MANY a human l*eing 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
-lumber into which, had they calmly adopted
I»It. JOSEPH H. HCHKNCU. fi SIMPLE
TREATMENT.
and availed themselves of his wonderful effica
cious medicines, they would not; have fallen.
Dr. Sdsenek 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. Schenck’s medicines
is as simple as it is in failing. Its philosophv
requires no argument. It is self-assuring, self
convincing.
The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
the first itwo weapons with which the citadel
of the malady Is assailed. Two-thirds of the
eases of consumption originate in dvsimpsia
and a functionally disdrdefed livei. XVith this
condition the bronchial tubes “sympathize”
with the stomach. Thcv respond to the morbific
actiou of the liver, ifere then comes the cul
minating result, and the settiug in, with all its
distressing symptoms, of
CONSUMPTION.
The Mandrake Pills are csiiroosed of one of
Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podoiihillnm Pelta
tnm. They possess all the blood-sen reiving,
alterative properties of calomel.
But unlike calomel, they
“LKAVK 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 responsivelv, and
the patient begins to feel that lie is getting, at
last,
A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD.
The seaweed Tonic, In conjunction with the
Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food.
<'hylitlcation is now progressing without its
previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless,
and the cure is seen to he at hand. There is no
more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach
An appetite sets in.
Novy 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.
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 tli** manhood or th« woman
hood that was
GIVEN UP AS LOST.
Tlic second tiling is. the patients must stay in
a warm room until they get well; it is almost
impossible to prevent taking cold when the
lungs arc diseased, hut it must he prevented or
a'cure cannot he effected. Fresh air and riding
out, especially in this section of the ceuntry in
the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians
who recommend that course lose patients, if
their lnngs 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 w ith the appetite,
and is the freat point to gain.
To despair of cure alter 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
oarations which I now offer to the public, and
mo that I could feel them penetrate iny' VvTiofe
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 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 fle-li ever since.”"
”1 was weighed shortly after my recovery,”
added the Doctor, “then looking !ike a mere
skeleton; mV weight was only ninety-seven
pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and
twentv-flve pounds, and for rears I have
“ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Schenek has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston. He or his son,
Dr. .J 11. Sehenck. Jr., still continue to see
patients at their office. No. 15 North Sixth street,
l’hiludelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. m., to 3
p. ni. 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.
Ths* directions for taking the medicine are
adapted to the intelligence even of a child
Follow these dirccfcnns, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man
drake l’ilis 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.. XX’hen it comes, as it will come, let
the despair ing 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 are constantly kept
in tens of thousands of families. Asa laxative,
or purgative, the Mandrake Fills are a standard
preparation; while the Fulmonic Syrup, as a
eurer of roughs and colds, may be regarded as a
praphyliicteric against consumption in any of
Its forms.
Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed

It whb a misty, yet sweet, Keptem-
Ix r nigh*. I can see the sky as it
i hung over onr cottage home, starry
bine with hejte and there a patch of
white, tloatiiig gossamer; and the har
vest-moon coming np and fl«>oding all
the world with golden splendor. I re
member how the triirson roses hung
apove the door-way, heavy with their
own sweetness; and what suggestive
odors floated from the flower beds in
the dim, old garden. I can even re
member the dr-ws I wore—pure white,
■because that was the dress in which
my husband loved me Ixist. Del he
love me at all ? Or was it my yellow
gold that won him ?
Immediately after our marriage we
went to Europe, where we rambled
about for a year or two, wintering in
Rome and spending our summers
among the Alps. Then wo returned
home. But the nomadic spirit was
upon us, and we took wbat our own
country afforded in the way of gipsy
life. In the midst of this wandering,
in a little country town amid the lakes,
my first trouble came. On the second
day of our sojourn at this place, to
which we had come in accordance with
mv husbands wish, I missed him. He
was fishing for trout, one of onr party
suggested, and in the afternoon we
strolled down towards the stream. —
Passing a small cottage we heard voi
ces, and something familiar made me
glance that way. There they stood,
side by side, mv husband and a wo
man—a young lady, with glossy raven
hair! I passed on in silence; but that
nierht, when my husband returned
and sought, me, T was reserved end
cold. I refused to dance, and would
not ring for him. He followed me
from place to place, his eyes full of
grave solicitude. The instant we were
in our own room be caught my hand
in his.
‘My darling,’ he said, ‘what troubles
you ?’
‘For my life I cannot tell him. I
was afraid to let him know that I
doubted his integrity.
‘Horace,’ I questioned, timidly, ‘do
you love me ?’
His fine eyes opened wide with as
tonishment. But be answered passion
ately.
‘Love you?’ Ay, better than you
will ever know, Violet.’
‘Did you—have you ever loved any
one else ?’ I faltered.
‘Never. Violet, on my honor.’
I was happy, yet not entirely satis
fied. I was a woman. Eve ate the for
fruit, with Paradise all around
her.
‘Then who was it;’ I faltered, ‘that
woman I saw you with this afternoon ?’
He started, and flushed very red for
a moment, then he laughed.
‘Oh!’ he said, ‘jealous, are you ?
Then lam sure you love me. But, se
riously, dear, I ought to have appolo
gized for my long abscence. That wo
man was a friendj* and old friend of
mine—she’s in distress, and I had to
help her. Are you satisfied ?’
I nodded ray head in assent, yet my
heart was not quite at rest. After
that we went down to our little sea
home, and set; led into sober, married
life; and for months our bliss was per
fect; and then that dreadful night
came!
Horace had been gone all day. He
did not come home to dinner, as was
his custom; so, after having ordered
tea, I dressed myself, and sat down on
the rose-shaded porch to await him.—
Sunset, dusk, evening; the moon soar
ing up above the sen. Still he did not
come. Dinner and supper had both
spoiled; the flowers in my hair were
fading, and I was sick and weary with
waiting and susj>ense. Horace had
never remained away so long since onr
marriage. What could detain him so?
Very slowly the night went by. Twelve
o’clock came, the moon dropped out
of sight, leaving me in darkness. An
owl hooted from the top of the old wil
low, surf beat with a weary,
sobbing sound.
I worked myself up into a perfect
tremor of alarm and nervous excite
ment, and, by degrees, the old doubt, or
fear, or whatever it was, stole back to
my mind. My husband was cruel to
keep me in such suspense. He did
love me! It never occurred to me
that he might be detained against his
will. When, at last, the clock was on
the stroke of three, I caught the quick
tramp of his herse’sdeeL But it did not
greatly relieve me. I felt angry, and
instead of running down to meet him,
as a woman's n. til re prompted me, I
yielded to my petted, wayward will, and
kept my seat. He did not stop to
take down the bars, but cleared them
with a leap. When he reached the
porch, he sprung down, flushed and
eager.
‘Violet,’ he cried, the moment he
caught sight of me, ‘are you up yet ?
I am sorry.’
He approached, both bands exten
ded. But I turned from him, and
walked to the other end of tire porch.
He stood for a moment in silent as
tonishment, then followed, and took
my hand, though I kept my face per
sistently averted.
‘Violet,’ he said, what is it ? Are
you ill, tired ? I wiis so sorry to
keep you waiting, but circumstancs—'
‘Never mind the circumstances now !’
I exclaimed, pettishly. ‘I am very
tired, and now that I know T that you
are safe, I will go to bed.’
He loosened his hold on my hand,
but looked after me, as I left him.
with a glance I shall never forget. I
can see him now, ns he stood in the
moonlight, so handsome and noble;
i and I loved him so well! I wonder
| whv I turned from him that night.—
! G«*l knows how it pa ; ned me. But
! Hie spoiled, wilful tenijar that bus

Did yoii ever k a harsh word to

er? Then you understand how it. was
that I left ray husband standing there,
wenrv and snpperles 8 -
‘Violet, dear,’ he softly, «« I
paused iuvolnntnrly ft t the head of the
stairs, ‘comeback an'! Irt me explain;!
yon know I have not kept you waiting
willingly.’
But I went ou wi'bont a word, not
to our chandler, but to a little dress
ing room exclusively my own. and clos- j
ed and locked the door. I !im Bm *e 1
the evil one must have had control of j
me that night. In a little "’bile lit
came up stairs and tried the °f
my door; then he called my na llle soft
ly; but I did not answer, aud he went
away.
A dozen times that night I lifted my
throbbing head from my tear-wet pil
low to go to him and implore his for
giveness, but. pride kept me back.—
Thus I lay sleepless till morning- It
was a wild morning, too, with drifting
rain and sobbing winds, and the **«*
thundered on the strand.
My husband was in the breakfast
room when I went dowu. He turned,
and said kindlv:
“Good morning, dear. Are you
quite well ?”
“Quite well, thank you,” I respond
ed, crossing to a window on the oppo
site side of the room. He arose, and
I then hoped he was coming to my
side, but he only looked at his watch,
and said:
“Be kind enough to let m° have my
breakfast at once, Violet, if you can.
I am in a burry for I have important
matters to look after.”
I rang the bell at once, and placed
myself at the head of the table.
When the cheerless repast was over,
and my husband rose to go, I felt hot
tears blinding me. I could not let him
leave me in anger. I made a step to
ward him, when he spoke, and his
words roused all my old anger and dis
content.
“Viole t,” said he, ‘*l may not be here
to dinner. Don’t wait forme; it is im
possible ”
“Make no excuses, sir,” I replied,
“none nre needed.”
Ah! those sad, reproachful eyes!—
But his lips uttered no retort He on
ly said. “Good-bye, dear,” and then
went out.
I watched him from the window,
hidden behind a curtain, as he rode
away through the driving rain.
The memory of that day comes back
to me like a terrible dream! To
ward even id g mv ng°ny became unen
durable; and as the raiu poured in tor
rents, I determined to drive over to
mv husband’s office in the neighboring
village. About half way, we met a
covered carriage, c6ntaining a lady
and gentleman.
“Why, that’s Mr. Reade !” said my
driver ns the vehicle passed by us.
One glance confirmed his words.
It was mv husband, and by his side
was the same woman that I had seen
with him, once before. My resolution
was taken on the instant. I ordered
mv servant to drive back to Swan s
Nest. I would not wait mv husbands
return, I said to myself. I could not
even charge him with infidelity. 1
would go away at once, and never let
him see my face again.
In a short time I was ready for my
departure. I wrote a note to Horace,
telling him that, our marriage was an
nnwise one, and that I should be hap
pier with my own friends. I begged
him not to hunt me down as a fugu
tive. but to leave me to the bent of my
inclination. I put the note upon his
table, and then went out from the
'home where my life had been so hap
py. In less than a week, nay father
and I were on onr way to Europe.
At the expiration of t.wo wretched
years we returned; and I learned from
onr lawyer that my hnsband had sail
ed for China, first making ovox to me.
in fee simple, alt’his real estate. He

Everything was unchanged The
rooias were jnst ns I had left them. —
My husband would not let them be
touched, the housekeeper said. “Had
she ever heard from him?” I asked.—
“On!v once,” she replied, “and then the
letter contained another; it was in my
dressing fcr.ble.”' I went for it myself,
and rend it, sitting there in our old
room.
“Violet,” it began, "yo« matt par

for, in all human probability, the dis
ease that now consumes me will soon

S. If. Smith S' Co s., Proprietor ,v.
For wvo years I lited nlone nf Swan’s
Nest—two years of inexpressible ago
ny; then the news cm me ! A steamer,
homeward bound from Calcutta, was
lost, and Horace Reade was one of
the passengers. That was the death
of hope!
Another year dragged by. One
sweet May evening I strolled down to
the seashore. The sun was setting in
waves of gold and purple, and q full
moon came up, flooding the great se*',
and the long stretch of glittering sand
with misty splendor. The tide rolled
in with a low, musical murmur. I sat
down on a rock.
1 ar qnt upon (he bar, a stately ves
sel swung at anchor, and a little boat
from it was coining in. I watched the
tiny craft, with a kind of fascination.
Presently it grated ou the sand, aud a
man sprang ashore.
A wild, nameless hope took shape in
my heart. I arose and tottered for
ward, blind and half-unconscious. The
instant after a strong arm clasped me.
I looked np into the face above m°.
It was wan and worn, and changed by
suffering, but I knew it on the instant.
“Oh, Horace !my husband ! For
give me.” I crir-d.
Then I felt his tears npon my cheek,
and his kisses on mv lips. The happy
world, drowned in the splendor ol the
spring sunset, faded out, and I sunk
into his arms insensible.
It is all over—the remorse the lone
liness, the aching pain! Wo live at
Swan’s Nest—mv dear, forgiving hus
band and myself.

The Influence of Pretty Women.
Life becomes more harmonious, it
beats with a keener pulse of enjoyment,
in the presence of pretty women. Af
ter all, a chivrming little figure, a piq
uet little face, is the best remedy for
half the ills in existence, its worries,
its vexations, its dullness, its disap
pointments. And even in the larger
and more placid types of beauty, in
the beauty of a Lucy Dumbello, it
there is a tinge of stupidity, there is,
at any rate, an atmosphere of repose,
a genial influence moulding our social
converse and habits into gentler
shapes.
It is aronsing to see how the pretti
ness of wom-'n tells on her dress, bow
the order and propriety of her dress
tells od the home. The pursuit of
beauty, the habit of prettiness, give an
ideal dignity to the very arrangement
of her bonnet strings. In every move
ment, in thevery sweep of her
ample folds, in the pose of her languor,
in the gay start of her excitement, on a
feels the softening, harmonizing influ
ence of her last look in the glass. Slie
may be gay or sorrowful, quiet or en
ergetic, but she must be pretty.—
Beauty exercises an imperceptible
compulsion over her, which moulds
her whole life into graceful and har
monious forms. Her dress rises out
of the mere clothing of man into the
regions of science, of poetry, of art
A thousand considerations of taste,
harmonies to color, contrasts, corres
pondencies, delicate adjustments of
light and shade, dictate the choice of
a shawl or the tint of a glove.
And as prettiness tells on dress, it
tells on the home., Flowerg, pictures,,
the gay notes of n sonata, the cosiest
ccmehes. gorgeous hues of Indian tap
estry, glass-work of Murano, ft hun
dred exquisite somethings and noth
ings, are the natural setting of pretty
women. The art of the baudoir tells
on all but the chaos of the husband’s
s*udy. Around tbajfc last refuge of
batbaiism floats an atmosphere of
taste and refinement in which the
pretty wife lives and moves and has
her being. And from this tone of the
home grows the tone of society, the
social laws of good humor, or proprie
ty, of self-restraint, of consideration
for others, of vivacity.—
The very hush of the rough tones that
have thundered over Peloponeso as
Pericles bends over Aspasia, the littls
turns an delicacies of phrase, the joyous
serfdoms and idleness of the manliest
and most energetic of men, tells of the
triumph of pretty women.
Narrow Guage.
The American Railway Times syys
A civil engineer in Texas advocates
the construction of narrow-gunge rail
ways with as adapted to
thinly populated districts in Toxas,
where traffic is light and it is utterly
impossible to get money to construct
ordinary roads. Charters have been
obtained for two such roads, and they
are likely to be built soon. A railroad
thirty inches wide and eleven miles
long, is to be built in Green county,
Tenn., at a cost of $20,000. The rails
are of wood, and nre to be shipped
with iron. This is getting the cost of
railways down to a pretty low figure.
As the construction of these narrow
gunge lines has got to be accepted as
a “ fixed fact” in all the States, it
would be well for the different Leg is
in hires to pass laws desigi ajng the
width, so that the narrow-gunge svs
em shall be identical throughout.. The
Railway Committee of the Massachu
setts Legislature has recommended a
guage of three feet, and .doubt this
will receive the legislative sanction. It
is to bo hojied that other States
conform with this movement, ihe
best engineering authorities in this
country and in Europe are in fa%or of
three feet for the narrow guage rail
way system.
