enable them to treat these diseases with success.
At last, that remedy has been discovered bv
one of the most skilful physicians in the State of
Georgia. The remedy is
Bradfield’s Female Regulator.
It is purely vegetable, and is put up in Atlan

It will purify the blood and strengthen the
system, relieve irritation of the kidneys, and is
a perfect specific for all the above diseases; as
certain a cure as Quinine is in Chills and Fevers.

worderful cures, the reader is referred to the

Pair Kill It.
This is the celebrated medicine that run Perry
Davis’ rain Killer out of the market, wherever
it was sold. Davis made Prophitt change the
name from Pain Killer to PAIN KILL IT.
For Rheumatism, Neuralgia, or pain of any

best thing you can use as a dressing.
For Snake Bites or stings of Poisonous Insects,
it is a perfect ANTIDOTE.
It is good for Colic, Colds, Coughs, or Bowel

relieved me almost instantly. “ I therefore re

COiVWUMTTION,
It* Cure anil ft* Preventive
BY J. E. SGHENCK, 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 cure. Those near and dear to
family and friends are sleeping tbe, 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. Sehenck 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 tills 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 ui failing, its philosophy
requires no argument It is self-assuring, self
convincing.
The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills arc
the first two weapons with which the citadel
of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the
cases of consumption originate in dvspepda
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 esmposed of one of
Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podophillum Pclta
tum. They possess all the blood-searchii g,
alterative properties of calomel.
Rut 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 canal are ejected. The liver,
like a clock, is wound up. It arouses from its
torpidity. The stomach act* responsively, and
the patient begins to feel that ho is getting, at
last,
A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD.
The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the
Fills, permeates and assimilates with the food.
Ghylincation 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 conics the greatest Blood Purifier ever
yet given by an indulgent father to suffering
man. Schenck’s Pulmonic Svrup conies in ;o
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 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 patients must stay in
a warm room until they get well ; it is almost
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 iii
the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians
who recommend that course lose patients, if
their lungs are badly diseased, and vet 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 with the appetite,
and is the great 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 t was in the last stages of
consumption ; confined to mv bed, and at one
time my physicians thought that T could nos
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 * nolo
system. They soon ripened the matter in mv
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 ever since.”
“I was weighed shortly after mv recovery,”
added the Doctor, “then looking'like a mere
skeleton; my weight was onlv ninety-seven
pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and
twenty-five pounds, and for vears I have
M ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Sehenck 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.
Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. m., to 3
p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination
with the Respirometer will be charged five
dollars. The Itespirometer declares the exact
condition of the lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether they are curable or not.
Tho directions for taking the medicine are
adapted to the intelligence even of a child
Follow these directons, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some eases 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
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
symptoms are gone forever.
. Dr. Schenck’s medicines are constantly kept
m tens of thousands of families. Asa laxative,
or purgative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard
preparation; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a
curer of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a
prophylacteric against consumption in anv of
its forms.
Price of the Pulmonic, Svrup and Seaweed
Tonic, $1,50 a bottle, or $7.50 a half dozen. Man
drake Pills, 3ft- cents a box. For sale bv all
druggists and dealers.

and the other, myself, who gloried in
the title of “old maid.” Very few sis
ters, I beiive, are perfectly satisfied
when iheir brother has found someone
dearer to him than those wtio have lov
ed him all his life. Butlthiuk we should
have been, if our choice had been his.
And why could it not have been so ?
Knowing Louise, our beautiful darling,
so tall, fair and queenly, how could
his heart have waudered elsewhere ?
In our hearts and minds we had fixed
upon her as our brother’s wife. Con
stantly, in our letters, we kept her
gooduess and beauty ever before him.
She was worthy of him; as gifted as
our Wilbur, she could appreciate
work with him, we thought. Louise
was with us when his letter came,
bidding us to welcome his bride. 1
saw the surprise and disappointed
look on her sweet face. ISot that she
had learned to love him—oh, no! But
she felt a deep inter*, st in the brother
of ber dearest friends, which might, if
nurtured, have grown into what we
had hoped.
Wilbur wrote:
“I shall bring her to you —my poor,
stricken, little girl! iu deep sorrow.—
Sue would be alone in the world now,
save for me. We weie married beside
her dying father’s couch. Sc<ncely a
wife before she w'as entirely an orphan,
with neither sister nor biotheiv i
have promised her so much love from
you that she will not feel the los3 of a
mother or sister, while I must till the
place of all the others—father, brother,
husband.
We feL certain then, after reading
the letter, how it was he came to mar
ry her—not for love, but pity Yes,
we fully decided upon that, which did
not make us feel any better about it.—
111 fact, we felt that our brother had
been taken in, sacrificed, and so on.
We went about our preparation for
iheir coming; furnished anew his
room; made it pretty and cheerful.—
But our hearts were not in our work
as they would have been if another
was to share it with him.
The night of their coming we had
no company to receive them, thinking
she would prefer it so. Only Louise
with us. Handsomer than ever was
Wilbur, lie sprang from the carriage
and came quickly up the steps where
we were standing on the porch, clasp
ed first one and then the other of us
to his heart, and then oack again to
the carriage, lifted out the “wee thing”
ana bore in his arms until he placed
her beside us saying:
“There little bird, go nestle away iu
the hearts waiting for you until I come
back. - ’
He went to attend to removing the
baggage. She turned, as if about to
run back after kun. Then, with a
quivering Lp, she raised her eyes to
us —a shy, frightened look, first at me,
then toward sister; then there came a
softer light into her wi.d-iookmg eyes,
and she crept into the arms extended
to welcome her. Anna was a mother;
her heart was not so hard as mine.—
A little child, a girl of her own, had
taught her to feel for every other
mother’s child, I think. I clasped her
hand and pressed aij lips to hers, and
tiled, for Wilbur’s sake, t_ seem lov
ing and kind; but fear she felt the
want of heart in my greeting, chad
though she was— scarce seventeen, he
told us. She was wise enougn to
know which of her husband’s sisters
would be her friend, when first she
saw us. We carried her to the parlor
and introduced Louise toiler. 1 saw
the chile’s dark face brighten up when
the beautiful gni greeteu her in such
a teuder, loving, manner. An instant
after she cried, with quivering lips:
“Pieusu cull me Edna, not Mrs. Ma
son; that seems so strange. And my
heart yearns so to have some oue cull
me Edna. 1 have not heard it since
he—papa—.” Here she stopped, and
turned her face away, She was weep
ing 1 knew. Wilbur come back just
Inen, and after greeting Louise, said:
“(Joine, little bird; sisters will show
you somewhere where you can trim
your feathers a little.”
He culled her pet names only. An
na went with them, but returned a
lew moments after, in lime to hear
my remark:
“Positively a little flight!”
And no reply.
“No, no: not so bad as thut. But
no beauty, surely.”
“What could nave made him marry
her hut pity ?” said X.
“We see her iu a most unfavorable
light. Her great sorrow will wear up
on her good looks sudiy. Besides,
she is tireu by her journey. She has
glorious eyes. I can see what it is
tUut won his love, she has the win
ning manner of a petted child. i
hope you will love hei,” said Louise.
W e were still talking of her when
they returned to the parlor.
1 took a malicious delight m com
puling the two, and thinking Wdoiu I
could not fail to note the diffeience
between kta wile and the one that
might have been; she nil beauty and
grace; the other—. Will, well, I’ve
said enough about her looks.
Later in the evening, when Louise
had drawn Edna apart from us, to
look over a portfolio of Wilbur's first
drawings—l have not told you he was
an artist, of whose pictures the world
was loud in praise—he lowered his
voice, and said, looking toward his
wife:
“She is not herself now. Natural
ly she is bright, happy, and very
charming. You must help ine chase
away her sadness, and win back her
smiles. You will scarce think that
she can bo very pretty.”
I am sure I could not After a
moment’s pause lie said:
“Louise is more beautiful, if possi
ble, than ever.”
Ah, I thought he could not help
comparing them.
It was not long before she was ‘more
like herself,’ as Wilbur said. Her
grief had been so wild and passionate,
that naturally it must soon wear itself
out. The color came hack to her
dark cheeks, an additional brightness
to her e\ es, and often I could he u
her voice caroling snatches of bird
like songs. Yes, she was growing
merry enough— his love was so per
fect; filling the place of father, brother
and husband, as he had said it should.
Anna was growing very fond of her,
and declared her very, very pretty. —
Although I had to admit she was no
longer a fright. I would not see her
beauty, or try to love her. My devo
tion to LouLe precluded anything of
thut kiud.
She grew to be very popular with
Wilbur’s friends; the young men de
claring her charming, white the old
ones were quite foolish, I thought, iu
their praises of her. Wilbur’s partic
ular friend, a young physician of rap
idly growing favor, who had long been
an admirer of Louise, came often with
her to. our home.
Before Wilbur’s marriage, Doctor
Wilton had made but little progress
iu his wooing; but since, Louise had
seemed more favorably inclined to
ward him. He was passionately fond
of music, and had a very fine voice.—
Louise, although a brilliant perform
er, could not sing at all; but she
would play the accompaniment, while
Edna’s and the Doctor’s voices blend
ed so beautifully together. Thus
hours were spent —every one, 1
thought, that he could possibly spare
from has practice. Wilbur enjoyed
their music so much, seeming never
io tire of it.
I was very wicked, I know r . I really
believed ber artful and designing.—
Tbo chiid-hke, artless manner I
thought assumed. I saw how happy
she was, those hours spout iu the
Doctor’s society; and it made me dis
like her the more for her to find pleas
ure anywhere but with her husband.—
I coaxea myself into believing she was
trying to bewitch Louise’s lover as she
had VViibur. Many times I’ve heard
her say:
“I wish Louise and the Doctor
would come. I miss them so much.—
Isn’t he a splendid man, Wilbur?”
I do not think a doubt ever en iaredi
his mind until I put it there. I began
with a look, or a little word oppor
tunely dropped. Once I remember
the expression of pniu that came over
his features when I said:
“Dr. Wilton admires Edna very
much. How well, their voices are
suited! I think Wilbur, if he had
known her before her marriage, you
would have found a very formidable
rival.
Another time I ventured a little too
fur. He was in his studio painting. 1
heard her singing, and thinking it a
good chance, 1 went iu. After admir
ing his work a few moments, I said.
“Hus Edna not a wonderfully power
ful voice for such a little body?” .
He stooped, listened a little while,
and said:
“That is a beautiful piece she is sing
ing now.”
‘Yes, - I replied; ‘it is her favorite, or
rather the Doctor’s, which is about the
same.’
He looked at me sternly a moment-,
and then said:
“You have never loved Edna, Julia.
But be careful that you are not trying
to plant thorns that may prick you
more severely than any one else.”
Aye, his words were prophetic.—
llow deeply I repeated my wickedness,
no one but Mo who knoweth every
heart can ever imagine. Yet, at that
time, I hated her the more for being
liio cause of the first rebuke that ever
came to mo from my biother’s lips;
notwithstanding which I continued my
course, more cautiously though. In
Louise’s ear I put a word—not often,
but vezy effective—uutii I managed to
build up a w all of ice between her and
my brother’s wife.
>\ libur’s heart was troubled. Edua
lelt it, and was hurt that ho did not
tell her why. She grow reserved,
crushing back the loving impulses ol
her nature. Tne Doctor s visits ceas
ed with Louise’s, and Wilbur feaieu
Edna was soirowing that he came not.
Wilbur woiked n ghl as well as day
then—woiked to keep from tliins.ii g.
He was looking miserably. At lengui
Edna declared him really' ill, and beg
ged him to cease ins woik. Her unxi
•tty dialed away the reserve she had
tried to mam tain, and she insisted ihui
he shottm consult a physician. He
would not. She begged then that slie
might send for ins friend Doctor Wil
ton, and lye should talk with him.—
W hen she said that, I looked at Wil
bur— a look which spoke volumes She
wanted uu ext.use ,o have him again

j near her, I thought, and my eyes told
that, and more. There came nn erv
| pression in Wilburs eyes then I could
I not read. I knew if it was defiance
J toward me, or resignation to her wish
or will. And he said:
for Wilton, if it will re
lieve vour mind.”
The Doctor came. They had a long
talk. Edna was not present, nor ci
ther of us. When he came out of the
studio, she met him in the hall. In re
ply to her inquiries, I had heard him
Bay:
*He rrmsl stop work, and rest. Ho
complains of a pricking sensation in his
right side and shoulder. Ido not liko
that It is unfavorable. Still, wiMi
rest aud care, I think we can bring
him aronud all right. ”
But he would work on. We are not
rich, lie said; it was necessary for [pin
to work.
For many weeks indeed, sinco the
reserve in the manner to each other,
Edua would spend the hours that were
formerly passed in Wilbur’s studio,
locked in her own room—doing what,
I knew not., but believed her sulking.
At length tho terrible blow eamo.—
I felt how much I had helped to
cause it; perhaps was the fiery jfistrri- .
meut that dealt it. Hid I not made
him unhappy, would ho have toiled so „
hard—striving to banish thought?
She fouud him lying, apparently
lifeless, beside his work. For weeks
he lingered, hovering us it were be
tween us and eternity.
She rested not, nor would leave him
for au hour. If she slept, it was a mo-'
meat, now and then, wnh her bend on
his pillow', whero his slightest move
ment would arouse her. At last tho
Doctor told us lie would live, but nov
el - more to wofk. His right arm was
paralyzed.
I had been, growing stnwwhat leaa,
bitter in my feelings toward her dur
mg his illness, She had seemed so de
voted, so anxious. But when Doctor
Wilton said, ‘but never more to work,’ •
a look of unmistakable pleasure was
iu her eyes. Not a grateful expres
sion, but oue more of exultation, pow
ei. Y\ hat could it mean ? Hud those
long weary hours of anxious watching
been only fine acling? The old doubts
and suspicions came back again, grow
iug daily greater aud darker. She
meet ths Doctor oftcu at the door, and
stand for many minutes in earnest/
whispered conversation. Ouce, out on
the porch, hidden behind the cluster
ing vines, I saw her place h r hand on
his arm, and looking up into his eyes
—her own filled with tears—she said:
“How much longer? Oil, these last
two weeks have been more than years
to me. And if—ob, if you have not
been deceiving me, I may hope—.”
“Everything,” he answered, inter
rupting her. Aud taking her hand in
his, ho continued: “You will not have
many more days to wait, aud thon I
am sure we shall be very happy.” And
shaking the hand he held, ho burr
off. *
Now I dare not think back to the
terrible thoughts which filled my mind.
Wilbur was still very weak. I must,
not, even by a look, warn him of what
I feared, lie was very teuder and lov
ing to her. But the old doubt still
lingered in his heart, aud an expres
sion of the deepest sadness came over
his face. When oue day she hoard tne
well-known step in the hall, and dart
ed out to meet the Doctor, I heard
\\ lUiur murmur, uucjucious of my
presence:
“Poor child! she is so young. I
hoped to muko her liappy: but lam
so grave and quiet, and nearly twice
her age. God give mo strength to
bear it.”
I told my thought* to Anna. SUo
would scarce listen She would not
think her so false 'She was a thought
less child, aud nothing more,’ she said.
Wilber seemed so very slow in get
ting better. Ab, I knew why he cured
not to live.
Edua was in a state of feverish ez
citement, which every hourgfew worse.
One day I felt the crisis was near—
Her cheeks were burning; her eves
glowing with a wilder look than ever;
while I knew her ear was strained to’
catch every sound of coming footsteps.
At lust she heard the welcome bound,
and sprang down the steps to rnwet
him. I heard him exclaim, “Joy at
last! and she, “Blessed you ! 0, God
will bless you for your goodness to
md ! A little talk that I could not
hear, and then he walked into the par
lor, and she came bounding up stairs
again iuto her husband’s room. If she
saw me she did not cure, she was wild
with delight. Wilbur was sitting in
au arm-chair. She th*ew herself on a
stool at his feet, caught his hand,
pressing it close to her boboui, aud jov
fuily cried out:
“At last, at lust I can tell,you. lT>u
will douot us no longer. Aud forgive
i.me for having a secret from you. I
dared not tel!, I was so fearful of u
failure. See ! See ! There is no lon -

And she held before him a paper,
pointing with her tiuy finger to burner
tuing on it. He looked at it, then at
her, as if Uy had just aw kind from a
strange, wil'd dream. Before he could
speak, sue threw from lu-r pocket a 10 i
of notes, and thrust them into his
hand, saying:
“Thoie is yours, nil yours. lam ail,
