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. JOHN F.

CARTERSVILLE, GA. feb. 7, 1871.w1y 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 8. 11. Smith Cos., Proprietors. , 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.
