It* C ure an<l It* 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 indis'mtably
proven means of cure. Those near and near to
family and ‘'riends are -deeping the dreamless
slumber into which, hail they calmly adopted
DR. JOSEPH H. SCHEXCK’S SIMPLE
TREATMENT.
and availed themselves of bis wonderful effica
cious medicines, they would not have fallen.
Dr. Schenck lias in 11 is own case proved thrt
wherevei suilicieiit vituliiy remains, that vital
ity. by bis medicines and his directions for
their use, is quickened inio healthful vi ;oi.
In this statement then* »s nothing presump
tuous. To the /ail hos the invalid’s made no
renrcseut.-.tion Ilia. i‘ not a thousand times
substantiated bv living and visible works. The
theory o. the cmi e by Dr. Schenck’* medicines
is as simple as it is m .'ailing. Its philosophy
requires no argument. It is self-assuring, self
eonvincing.
The ■seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
the lirst two weapons with which the citadel
ot the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the
eases of consumption originate n dyspepsia
nnda '1 net ion ally , isor.lered livei. With this
eon,.i,ion the bronchial tubes “sympathize”
witn the stomach. They ’esjKind o the morbific
action of the *'vei. Here then eomes the crl
minaiing resu',, end the setting In, with all its
distress in ; symptoms, of
CONSUMPTION.
The Mandrake Pills are esmposed of one of
Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podonhllluin Pelta
tmn. They |M»sse>s all the, hlopd -searching,
alterative properties of calomel.
But unlike calomel, they
“LEAVE XO 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.
_Tlic Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the
Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food.
Uhylincation is now progressing without its
previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless,
and the cure is seen to be at liaml. There is no
more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach
An appetite sets in.
Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever
vet 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 verv 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 patient* must stay in
a warm room until they get well ; it is a 1 most
impossible to prevent taking cold when the
lungs are diseased, hut it must lie prevented or
a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding
out, especially in this section of the ceuntrv in
the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians
who recommend that course lose patients, if
their lungs are badly diseased, and yet liecause
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 lias 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, anil 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 1 was in the last stages of
consumption; confined to niv 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
narations which I now offer to the public, and
they lioulo porfert I Iti eof me. It set-moil to
me that 1 could feel them penetrate my whole
system. They soon ripened the matter in niv
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 over since.”
“I was weighed shortly after niv recovery,”
added the Doctor, “then looking !ike a mere
skeleton; my weight was onlv ninety-seven
IKiunils ; my present weight is two hundred anil
twenty-five pounds, and for years I have
“ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston, lie or his son,
l)r. J 11. Schenck. Jr., still continue to see
patients at their office, Xo. 15 North Sixth si.ee,
Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. m., to 3
P. m, Those who wish a thorough examination
with the Respiromctcr will be charged five
dollars. The Respiromcter declares tue exact
condition of the lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether they are curable or not.
Tim directions for taking the medicine aie
adapted to the intelligence even of a child
Follow these directons, and kind nature will do
the rest. exeepting 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 amide 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
symptom* 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 roughs and colds, may be regarded as a
propliylacteric against consumption in anvof
its forms.
Price of the Pulmonic Svrup and Seaweed
Tome, $1.50 a bottle, or $7,50 a half dozen. Man
drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all
druggists and dealers.

THE GUARDED TREASURE.
A Thrilling Narrative.
Iu the second year of the late civil
war, I was married, aud went to live
with my husband iu a small village on
the Hudson, some fifty or sixty miles
from New York. The house we
occupied was a large, rambling mansion
of considerable antiquity for this
country, and stood a little apart from
the rest of the village, surrounded by
broad fir Ids, aud commanding a pretty
view of the river, aud the hills of the
Highlands. It had been built before
the Revolution, by my husband’s great
grandfather, and though destitute of
“ modern improvements,” was still a
comfortable and pleasant rrsideuce.
My husband was a lawyer, and a
large real estate owner iu the district,
and at the period of which I write,was
greatly perplexed, like a great many
other persons in the horth, by the
perilous state of the times, and espe
cially about the safe investment of Lis
funds, as the suspension of specie
payments, the great rise in gold, and
military disasters in Virginia, made it
almost impossible to tell where it
would be safe to deposit, or to use
one’s money iu any large amount.
In the course of his transaction in
real estate, it happened, one day, that
he received, what was for us then a
large sum, about ten thousand dollars,
which he brought home and left in my
charge, te ling me at the same time
that he should have to be absent du
ring tbe eveniug, attending to some
business on the other side of the river,
and should not be sit home until mid
night.
‘•You can place the mom y in the
safe, dear,” he said, as he g -Ye it to
me, “and to-mom.w I will try aid find
some way to invest it securely.”
So saying, he stepped into the bug
gy, which was standing at the door
way, taking with him our hired mau
ISilas, and leaving me with no one in
the bouse but Dinah, an old colored
woman, who fulfilled in our modest
household the functions of cook and
maid of all-work, as she had long done
in the fnmily of my own parents, who,
on my marriage, had yielded her up
to me as a valuable part of my dower.
Dinah was indeed a character. She
was tall and very stout., weighing, sbe
never would tell bow much, more than
two hundred pounds. She was very
black, and as lazy as she was black.—
I do not think that any one could
move more deliberately than Dinah
did, that is to move at all. Aud, by a
woi devful dispensation, sbe seemed to
feel that whatever other faults might
be, she w r as strong on the point of lo
comotion. For, when she had been
moving with a ponderous slowness, al
most maddening to a person of ordi
nary quickness, one of her favorite
expressions was, “well, Miss Lillie,
what shall I fly into next?” How she
accomplished all sbe did, tbe brownies
only knew. We used sometimes al
most to tremble when there was any
special hurry about our domestic ar
rangements, and ye- Dinah always
managed to bring aflidrs to a consum
mation, just when a minute more
would have ruined everything, and
with undisturbed front, would slowly
enunciate, “Wed, Miss, what shall i
fly at nekt ?”
It was nearly dark when my hus
band departed, and after giving m3'
orders to Dumb, or rather my sugges
tions, I left her, and made the tour of
the house, to see all was safe and
properly locked up. This duly at
tended to, I went to mv bed-room, iu
tending to pass the t?me in reading
till my husband should return.
It was a large room on the ground
tioor, with two French windows open
ing on a broad veranda. The v indows
were draped in long yel'ow silk cur
tains, between wbicu the moonlight
faintly euteved, dimmed by the shad
ows of tbe i oof of the piazza, and
partly intercepted by the fringe of
woodbine which hung from it. My
bed stood with its loot toward the
windows, and with its head about
half a yard from the wall. It was an
old-fashioned structure, hung with yel
low silk like the windows, but I slept
with the hangings drawn back and
fastened to the head-boaid. The bed
was so large that no one ever thought
of moving it, except in those seasons
of household panic, called house-clean
ings, when the coinbiued strength of
three or four nun were required to
draw it into the middle of the room.—
So elaborately carved was it that it
went by the name cf Westminister
Abbey, in the family. At one end of
the loom, at no great distance from
tile bed, was a huge safe built into
the huge chimney of the mansion,
with a door high enough for if pet son
to enter, standing upright. Here I
was accustomed to place every even
ing, our silver plate, on shelves which
extended around the sides, on which,
also, were placed boxes containing pa
pers and other valuables. UpjKisite to ;
the foot of the bed stead, between tbe
windows, was a mirror running from
tbe lioo r linost to ihe ceiling. Like
tbe oih er furniture in tbe room, it was
old au<j handsome- How many happy
scenes it had reflected in the hundred
years jt bad stood there !
The night was exceedingly hot, and
I therefore left *the windows open,
though I drew the curtains together be
fore I seated myself at tbe centre of the
loom, lighted the candles, and began
to read, in order to pass tbe heavy
time before the return l f my husband.
After a while, I heaid the clock
strike nine, at which hour Dinah al
wl3 s went to bed. Her chamber was
iu "the attic, the third story of the
house. Remembering some house
hold matter about w hich I wisl ed to
speak to her, 1 started hurriedly up,
and went to the entry to intercept her
before she got tip stair-. I had to
wait about a minute before sbe came,
aud our colloquy continued tbiee or
four minutes more.
When I retired to my bed-room,
feeling somewhat tired, I resolved to
go to bed, as, at that late hour iu the
country, it was quite certain that no
visitors would coll, : nd my husband
could let himself in wuh the latch-key’,
which he always earr ed. I thought,
however, I would try and keep awake
by reading, and accordingly placed a
light-stand and the candles at the
head of my bed. I then closed aud
fastened the windows, undressed my
self, and got in the bed, the key of the
safe I placed, as usual, under my pil
low 7 .
After reading perhaps half an hour,
I grew weary of the book, and quietly
lay ing it down, remained some min
utes meditating with my eyes fixed on
the mirror opposite the foot of tbe bed,
iu w hich I could see myself reflected,
together with the yellow silk curtains
behind my head. I was thinking not,
unnaturally, bow pretty I looked, and
bow happy I was, w iib such a loving
husbaud and such a large sum of mon
ey secure in one’s safe, when suddenly
I saw in the mirror a sight that made
my heart stand still. A hand appear
ed between the Curtains, drawing them
slowly apart, and grasping cautiously
the headboard. L was a man’s baud,
large, course, and dark, as if belonging
to a mulatto, or to one greatly tanned
by exposure to the weather.
My first impulse was to start from
the bed aud scream for help. I re
pressed it by a strong effort of will,
! and lay pelfectly motionless, except
that I partially closed my eyes, keep
ing them only sufficiently open to
watch the mirror. As quick as light
ning my mind took iu the situation.—
Iu the few minutes of my absence
from the room, while talking to Di
nah in the entry, a thief, a robber, a
possible murderer, had hidden himself
either under tbe bid or behind its
draped bead. He was doubtless arm
ed, and if I cried out, or attempted to
escape from tbe room, be could easily
reach tbe door before I could, and for
bis own security would probably put
me to death. Dinah was too distant,
aud too feeble and clumsy to afford
me any assistance, and besides was by 7
this time asleep iu tbe third story.—
Tbe man doubtless knew that my hus
band bad received a large sum of
money, and gone off across the river,
leaving me alone, or ncarb’ so, in the
house. He had entered, caring only
for money, and anxious above all
things, to escape undetected and un
recognized. If I let him know that I
was aware of his presence, I should
expose myself to murder. My obvi
ous policy was to keep quiet aud feign
sleep. I thought also of the money,
and was not altogether willing to re
sign that without an effort to save it,
aud to have some clue to the identity
of the thief. I confess, however, that
this last consideratio 1 was not a very
strong one, and I am afraid that, if I
could have seen my way clear to an
escape from the room, 1 should have
tied mcontiuently without stopping to
see more than that teirible baud.
A moment, which seemed an hour,
passed while these thoughts rushed
through my mind. I lay perfectly
still, with my half-closed eyes watch
ing the mirror. Slowly and noiseless
ly the frightful hand pulled up the
owner, until I could see the head and
face reflected in the glass. The man
was a mulatto, very dark, w'ilh evil
passions written in every lineament.—
I could scarcely refrain from shudder
ing at the sight of hie hateful visage,
and closed my eyes to shut it out.
1 was not quite ready for tbe ordeal
through which I knew I must soon
pass. I wanted to move my light
stand a little out of the way, and so
arrange the bed clothes that I could
spring from the bed without impedi
ment. I therefore gave a little sigh,
and moved, ns if about to wake, slight
ly opening my eyes at the same time.
The head and hand instantly disap
peared. I then composedly made the
desired changes iu the position of the
stand, and the arrangement of the
clothes, put my watch with the safe
key under my pillow—so near the
edge that they could be redily taken
out, as I knew they would be—extin
guished one of my caudles, said my
prayers and resigned myself to my
fate, with no very sanguine or definite
hope of extraction from my perilous
position.
I nude my breathing regular, and a
little louder thau when I was awake,
and lay with my cheek on mv hand,
counterfeiting sleep. At last the still
ness became more terrible than even
my first agony of fear. Several times
l fancied I heard a soft step approach
ing from the place of concealment—
As often was I deceived. Then again
'hat dreadful stillness, in which 1
counted tbe ticking of the watch thro’
the pillow. It was a positive relief
when be came out from behind the
curtain, stopped at the table, aud
stood looking at me, as I was well
aware, though my eyes were closed.—
I forced myself to breathe regularly
and audibly. He came closer; he
bent over me. He passed the lighted
candle slowly before my face two or
three times. I felt the heat and saw

, the light through my closed lids,
j which must have quivered, though he
I did not. seem to observe their notion,
i Leaven gave me strength not to move
or cry out. Satisfied, up; nrently, lie
put back the candlestick on the stand,
and his hand crept softly and slowly
under the pillow, and one by one, he
removed my watch and the key of the
safe. He stood so long looking at ine
that I felt impelled to open my eyes
suddenly upon him.
As he walked toward tiki safe, I did
partly open them, and cautiously
watched h m through my eye’adus.—
I heard him fumbling with the lock,
and once he looked over toward the
bed. My eyes were wide open, but I
elosed them in time not to i** detected.
Watching him stealthily I saw him
o eu the door of the safe, which he
entered without drawing the key from
the kck.
Here was the opportunity for which
I had waited and watched. I sprang
lightly fioiu the bed, with one bound
reached the safe, dashed the door too,
turned the key, and with one long
and loud shriek, fell prostrate and
sens* less on the floor of the dark
room.
How long I lay upon the floor I do
uot know—probably for a few minutes
ouly—but as I was unconscious, it
seemed when I came to myself, us if
the interval bad been a long one. I
was aroused by his blows upon the
iron door, and found myself week al
ter the long nervous tension, but still
calm. I remember the satisfaction
with which I thought, while I lay there
before rising, that lie could not es
cape, mingled with a vague and fool
ish dread that he might in his rage
buru the valuable contents of tbe safe.
He pounded desperately on the door,
aud swore fearfully at finding himself
entrapped. But as I took no no
tice of his outcries he soon grew qui
et.
Presently I rose, lighted a caudle,
dressed myself with all possible haste,
and with trembling fingers, turned of
ten to look at the safe, from under tlio
elosed door of which I more tbau half
expected to see blood trickling—why,
I cannot tell, except that my mind was
full of images of horror. I was soon
iu readiness. I had no means of as
certaining the time as he had my watch
in his pocket, and there was no clock
iu the room. Taking the caudle, I
hastened to arouse Diuah, who, as I
shook her slowly, opened her eyes, and
with, scarcely more than her usual
slowness pronounced her formula.—
“Well, Miss Lillie, what shall I fly—
Lord-a-mnssa! what’s de matter wid
do child ? You ain’t seen a ghost have
von, honey?”
“No, Dinah, but I’ve seen something
worse than a ghost. I’ve caught a
robber and he’s iu the safe. Whs t
time is it ?” and looking at the clock
that ticked slowly and deliberately—
as—as bow could Dinah's clock help
doing ?—I saw to my great relief that
it was near midnight
We had scarcely got down stairs
when I heard the sound of wheels.—
A moment more and my husband was
in my arms, listening with amazement
to a rapid narrative of my singular ad
venture. I wouldn't suffer him to
open the safe untii Silas had summon
ed assistance from the neighboring
houses. I feared th tmy disparate
prisoner might yet escape. When the
safe was opened, there sat my burglar
on the trunk, half stupefied for want of
air, a knife in one Laud, the package
of money in the other, and the burned
our caudle at his feet. He was recog
nized as an old offender, who had not
been out of State Prison, to which in
due course of law, he was soon sent
back for a term of years, which I de
voutly hope, may last as long as ho
lives; for I confess I shoulJ not feel ea
sy to hear that he was at large. The
iook of rage he gave me on coming out
of the safe, will not soon be obliterated
from my memory.
My husband, I need hardly say, was
great y pleased with my safe invest
ment, and complimented me highly on
the courage aud coolness which had
doubtless saved my life as well as our
money. The love aud pride with
which Le regarded me, and with which
be always to this day rehearses my ex
ploit, were of themselves a sufficient
compensation for the honor and ago
ny of that long summer night.
