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. JOHN F.

And how could he ever have loved such a pale, strange looking lit tle witch ?—for witch she surely must have been, I thought, to get iny broth er so bewildered as to fall in love with and marrry her—he, our only boy; so noble, so handsome, and the idol of his sisters; two of us; one widowed, 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 S. if. Smith <f Cos., Projoiefois. 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 - ger need of your woikiug. I shall woik for you—for us all.

He looked at it, then at her, as if Uy had just aw kind from a strange, wil'd dream.
