the Mouth, the skin has a thick, rough feeling,
ams ia darker than usual, Costiveness, Melan
choly Feelings, Cramps, Cold Feet, Colic, Dys

will prevent and cure any disease resulting from
a deranged liver.
It will regulate its functions and thus cure all
diseases caused by the failure of its healthy ac
tion.

Sir: My wife las been an invalid for fifteen
years. Doctors all agreed she had “Liver Dis
ease.” Tn connection with their practice she
used various and noted remedies, none of which
seemed to do any good. Sometime ago I procu

agent here, C. A. Harvey, which being given ac
cording to directions, ’has affected a comulete
cure. Respectfully, Ac., GEO. L. THOMAS.
CHARLOTTE, N. C., Sent. 24,1868.
I have used Dr. O. S. l’rophitt’s Liver Medi

bowels; iu most cases superceding the necessity
of a regular course of medicine.

it claims to be an antidote. Verv respectfully,

PROPHITT’S
Pain Kill It.
This is the celebrated medicine that run Perry
Davis’Pain Killer out of the market, wherever
it was sold. Davis made Prophitt change tlio
name from Pain Killer to PAIN KILL TT.
For Rheumatism, Neuralgia, or pain of any
kind it has no equal.
For Cuts, Bruises, Burns, or old Sores, it is the
best thing you can use as a dressing.
For Snake Bites or Stings of Poisonous Insects,
it is a perfect ANTI DOTE.
It is good for Colie, Colds, Coughs, or Bowel
Complaints. Its name indicates its nature fully.
It is truly DEATH to pain.

relieved me almost instantly. ’ I therefore re
commend it in the highest degree to others snf»

one of the finest Family Medicines nowout, cer

CONSUMPTION,
Its Cure and Ks Preventive
BY J. H. SCHENCK, M. D.
MANY* a human being lia* passed awav,
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 ami friends are sleeping the dreamless
slumlier into which, had they calmly adopted
DR. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE
TREATMENT.
and availed themselves of his wonderful effica
cious medicine#, they would not have fallen.
Dr. Schenek lias in his own case proved that
wherever sufficient vitntirr remains, that vital
ity. by his medicine* 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. Schenek’* medicine*
is as simple as it is'in failing. Its philosophy
requires no argument. It is self-assuring, self
convincing.
The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
the first two weapons with which the citadel
oi the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the
eases of consumption originate in dvspepsia
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 Pelta
tum. They possess all the blood-scarching,
alterative properties of calomel.
But unlike calomel, they
“LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,”
The work of cure is now beginning. The
vitiated and mucous deposits in the bowels and
in tlie alimentary canal are ejected. The liver,
like a clock, is wound up. [t arouses from its
torpidity. The 'Stomach acts responsively, and
the patient begins to feel that he is getting, at
last, 0
A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD.
The Seavreed Tonic, in conjunction with the
Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food.
(Jhylideation 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.
Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever
yet given by an indulgent father to suffering
man. Schenck’s Pulmonic Sirup comes in to
perform its functions aud to hasten and com
nlete the cure. It enter* at once upon its work.
Nature cannot be cheated, rt 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 ami 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 he prevented or
a cure cannot he effected. Fresh air and riding
out, especially iu this section of the ceuntrv in
the winter season, are all wrong. Phvsicians
who recommend that course lose patients, if
their lungs are badly diseased, and vet because
they are m 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—he 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 after such e vidence of its
possibility in the worst eases, and moral cer
tainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Selienck’s
personal statement to the Faculty of his own
cure was iu 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
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 whole
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 mv cough,
fevei, pain and night sweats all began't© 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 ffesh ever since.”
“I was weighed shortlv after mv recovcrv,”
added the Doctor, “then looking like a mere
skeleton; my weight was only ninety—seven
pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and
twenty-five pounds, and for wars I have
“ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Schenek has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston. He or his son,
Dr. J H. Schenek. 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 Respiremoter will be charged five
dollars. The Respirometer declares the exact
condition of the lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether they are curable or not.
Th© direction* for taking the medicine are
adapted to the intelligence even of a child
Follow these direetons, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man
drake Pills are to he taken in increased doses ;
tins 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 Weleome
symptom. A\ hen it comes, as it will come, let
the despairing he 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 Pills are a standard
preparation; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a
curer of coughs and colds, may he regarded as a
prophylacteric against consumption in any of
its forms.
Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed
r omc, $1,50 a bottle, or $7,50 a half dozen. Man
drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale bv all

A Legend of I lie Zuyder Zee.
[Translated from the German.]
Among the commercial sea-towns of
Holland, six centuries ago, Stavoren
held the first place. The ships of its
merchants covered the seas, and im
ported the productions of all zones.—
Sucli au extensive commerce raised the
wealth of this town to a hitherto nu
kuown extent. It is true that there
were here, as elsewhere, many poor,
but the wealthy vastly outnumbered
them. High life, luxury and niagniffi
cence—the usual companions of great
riches—prevailed, for, iu foolish pride
aud ruinous zeal, each citizen tried to
outvie the other in pomp, splendor aud
extravagance of banquets. Tradition
relates that there were many houses
which equalled palaces in their grand
eur. They were constructed of marble,
the interiors ornamented with the most
artistic decorations, covered with the
richest tapestries, provided with the
rarest furniture, the doors bound with
the most precious metals inslead of
iron.
But of all the Stavoren merchants,
none could compare in riches withrthe
virgin Riehberta. The success with
which each of her speculations was re
warded — an d seldom with unexpected
profits—seemed to show her to what
degree fortune could lavish her gifts
on a m or [ a ] j an d how long allow her
favors to be enjoyed.
The commercial fleet of the virgin
mei(h an t visited the remotest seas,
and no t on i v returned each time with
the r i c l ies t profits, but hauled with the
m oy t expensive wares, with ornaments
of diamonds, pearls and precious
stones, which were employed in the
palace of their mistress and shone on
its walls.
Such unexampled good fortune Xvicli
berta could not support with indiffer
ence; and if the maxim that “great
misfortunes are easier to be born than
immoderate happiness’ be true, liich
berta was destined to be a glaring
proof of the truth of this assertion.
Her pride and vain glory kept step
w’itli the increase of her riches, and
she showed this both bj T contempt of
her fellow creatures and by preparing
the roost Inxurant and extravagant
feasts, less with the intention of amus
ing and gladdening the town than to
give her guests the opportunity to ad
mire the ever-changing splendor of her
apartments and to be astonished at
the foreign and costly food and wine,
and thus excite their envy. A-t one of
these senseless repasts, offering noth
ing to the mind and leaving the heart
void, a very strange guest was an
nounced. He came, he said, from for
eign countries; he had seen many roy
al kingdoms and the splendor of their
courts; and he had come to admire
Richberta’s riches, which fame report
ed to be miraculous.
The flattered mistrt ss begged the
stranger to take a seat at her side.—
He appeared to be still a robust old
man, in the picturesque costume of the
Orient. His conduct was both digni
fied and noble as he stepped to Rich
bertn, expecting the welcome from her
hand which, according to the usage of
his country, is given symbolically by
the offering cf bread and salt.
But there was no bread on the lux
urious table, w’hich groaned under its
burden of rare epicurean dishes, and
from which the simple nourishment
of poverty was banished.
Silently the stranger seated himself,
and, while taking refreshments, relat
ed, in a manner which bound all eyes
and ears upon him, his travels by land
and water, of foreign nations and their
customs.
Every guest was entranced W’th his
words, but not so the virgin Richber
ta. Her vanity could expect nothing
else than that the noble stranger
should be loud in bis praises of her
riches, the brilliancy of her feast, and
TTCV.Iu make comparisons giving fresh
nourishment to her pride. To these
subjects, however, he made no allusion;
till finally driven to desparation, she
demanded it of him herself, when he
confessed that only with kings had he
found such splendor and extravagance,
and what made it more singular to
him was, that be should miss here the
best and noblest thing the earth pro
duced.
In vain did she attempt to obtain a
fuller explanation of the strange guest;
and being questioned too pressingly,
he disappeared, and was not seen
again.
Richberta’s pride and curiosity,
equally excited, allowed her no quie
tude. She possessed in valuables all
that could be mentioned. However,
“the best and noblost thing was want
ing !” She consulted schollars and phi
losophers, sent for magicians and as
trologers; but none knew how to name
that thing which for years she had not
possessed.
In her restless desire she bad ships
equipped to cruise through all oceans
aud seas, to visit every land, with or
ders not to return till the required ar
ticle lmd been found. The com
mander of their fleet put to sea, unde
cided whither to direct his ships. One
part he sent to the East, and another
to the West, w hile he himself, with his
remaining vessels, relied on the favor
of the winds. It happened that, by a
leak, a part of the provisions got spoilt,
and although there w 7 as no want of
meat and wine and other luxuries, the
Hour and bread had become unfit for
food, aud the want of it was soon felt
most severely,
Iu this strait thp commander saw
quickly what he must consider the
best thing that the earth produced—
not the spices and perfuuus 01 India,
nor the pearls from the depth of the
sea, nor diamonds of most priceless
value; hut the universally thriving gift
of li .true, the indispensable and esti
mable nourishing bread. He recog
nized now the sense of the obscure
w in ds spoken by the stranger, and his
resolution was quickly made. He
steered to a Baltic harbor,' where he
took iu a cargo of the finest wheat,
with which he sailed to Stavoren. As
soou as he arrived he appeared before
Riehberta, who had not expected him
so soon, and anuouced to her that he
knew what was the best of all the
earth’s productions; had found it, and
in abundance, had brought it with him.
He then related to his astonish, and mis
tress how he had obtained this kuowl
edge, and that mysterious guest could
only have meant the failing bread
He, therefore, believed he had execu
ted her orders iu a satisfactory man
ner.
But Riehberta was not of the same
opinion. She cast reproachful looks
nt the confounded servant, and pain
fully suppressing her rage, demanded
to know on which side of the ships he
had taken in the cargo. She was an
swered, “Ou the right side.” “Well,
then,” said the haughty Riehberta, “I
command }’OU to cast the whole cargo
into the sea from the leit.”
In vain were appeals and expostula
tion made against the carrying out oj
this order. Uselessly did the saithsu 1
servant beg of her not to destroy tlie
rich gift of God, but at least to allevi
ate the wants of the needy poor with it.
Uselessly did be send to her crowds of
poverty stricken wretches to soften
her heart. All w’as in vain. Befora
her own eyes she had the rich wheat
cargo, which could have given bread to
so many, thrown into the sea, amid
the howlings and cursings of the mul
titude. the bottom of the sea had re
ceived the cargo, but the grains became
the seedlings of ruin. Germinating in
the mud, edntinualy covered with new
earth, of unnatural growth, always
springing higher and higher, which,
like sea fungus or huge spiders, cover
edt he surfac of the water. As the soft,
moveable mass of earth thereby found
a support, an immense sand-bank was
formed before the harbor of Stavoren,
which no human power was able to
break through. The numerous ships
of the town, and also thoso of the rich
Riehberta, being unable to find an en
trance to the port, were the sacrifices
of the raging waves. Commerce and
riches were destroyed, and continually
recurring strokes of misfortune precip
itated the proud virgin merchant from
the pinnacle of splendor and happiness
into want and misery.
But the sea, to whom an accustom
ed channel had been closed, raged
with ever new anger against the bank,
and during a most tempestuous storm,
it broke through the dykes, flooded
the town, and bore it hastily into the
sea as a loug-wished-for booty.
Where Stavoren once stood, now
rolls the troubled waves of the Zuyder
Zee. But when the clear waters allow
its bottom to be seen, the shippers
view with horror, through its depths,
the streets, proud towers, and high ga
bles of this now sunken, but once mag
nificent town.
Drowning tlie Rat.
The partiality of the darkey for the
sun is proverbial. At noonday, with
the fierce rays shining down upon his
bare head, the mosquitoes singing
j round him and the flies making amer
ous dalliance with his nose or lips, he
sleeps and dreams. One old darkly
in the fourth district, Few Orleans
has daily, for months r>ast, selected
the door step ui a prominent residence
for his noonday nap. Being driven
off one day, he comes the next. With
his head thrown back and his mouth
wide open he snores away, to the ex
ceeding discomfort of the inmates.—
Called to the door by this, disagreea
ble diapason a few days since, the la
dy of the house concluded she would
try an experiment. For this purpose
she procured a small piece of ice and
dropped it into the huge orifice that
served as Sambo’s mouth. It disap
peared like a shot, and with a cough
; and a snort, Sambo started to bis feet.
‘Ugh !’ he cried, ns the ice sent vio
[ lent thrills through his stomach.
‘What dis ?’ and his fingers clutched
nervously the afflicted parts.
Just then someone cried out in the
house that a big rat had run down
“Uncle Sam’s throat. This added ter
ror to his pain. He rolled on the ban
quette and cried lustly for help.
‘Fore God. Missus, he’s gnawing
cut’n me. I feels him. Oh, gollv, lie's
killin’ me,’ and the whites of the dar
key's eyes protruding like saucers, and
the convulsed and anguished face,
showed that real pain was strongly en
hanced bv his imaginary terror.
‘Oh, golly, how be do jump and kick
about,’ and Sambo again give himself
up to a paroxysm of lamentation.
Without a moment’s hesitation Sam
started for the water-plug. He turn
ed on the crank, and the water start
ed. Sam glued his lips to the nozzle
until his side was puffed out like an
inflated balloon.
‘How do you feel now, Uncle Sam ?’
the lady inquired, as Sam staggered
back to his seat.
‘I guess he’s drowned, missus; but
here’s what’s troubling dis chile, how's
dal rat girine to git out’n dare V !

Ttic man in (lie Iron Mask.
Ou the of September (1GU8),
about three o’clock, the guarded litter
passed the draw-bridge of the Bastile,
and the prisoner was place and iu one of
the rooms of the tower of La 1* rUu
diere. Here, for five years, the Man
in the Mask is lost to sight Yet tra
dition has thrown a faint and doubtful
light upon the singular story. It is
said that the prisoner was always treat
ed with unusual defereuce; that his
jailer uever sat down in Ins preseuce.
that he was supplied with every luxu
ry; that he was clothed iu tine linen
and the costliest laces, for which ho
showed an extravagant fondness; that
his table was abundant; that he amus
ed his leisure by playing ou the guitar.
But from all intercourse with the world
around him he was sternly cut off.—
His mask was never raised even when
he took his food, and orders were giv
en to kill him should he attempt to re
move it.
Au aged physician of the Bastile,
who had olten attended him, stated
that he never saw his face, although ho
had examined his tongue. He was
fiuidy formed, said tbudv>ctor; his com
plexion was dark, his voice low and
soft. Yet he never complained of his
condition, nor gave the least indication
of whom he was. A perpetual terror
had probably broken down within him
every thought of resistance to his roy
al persecutor. A doubtful story is
told that at St. Marguerite the prison
er wrote with a knife ou a silver plate
which he had used at dinner, and
threw it out of the window towards a
boat that lay ou the shore near the
f jot of the tower. A fisherman, the
owner of the boat, found the plate and
brought it to the governor. Ho ask and
the fisherman, in astonishment and
alarm, “Have you read what is written
on this plate? Has auy one seen it iu
your possession?” The man replied
that he could not read, and that he had
shown it to no one. The governor de
tained him until ho had made sure
that he spoke the truth, aud theu dis
missed lam, saying, “It is happy for
you that you cannot read.” Auother
legend relates that the prime-minister
of France, Louvois, visited the masked
prisoner in his coll at Marguerite, aud
(.luring the interview refused to sit
down iu his preseuce. He evidently
treated the miserable captive as il ho
were his superior.
For five years the Man of the Iron
Mask survived his removal to the B is
t;le. Winter and summer his narrow
cell iu the lonely lower «©ho«<-l to th<j
no.e of his mournful guitar, almost tho
only sound that awoke its utter silence.
His youth and manhood had passed
away, and ho iiad never heard tho
sweet voices of sympathy, of friend
ship, of compassion, or © 4 love. The
susp cioas tones of the cautious Saint
Mais, and the stealthy tread of Ins
spies, were the only sounds with which
he was familiar. Around him he might
hear the murmur of busy Paris; at St.
Margurite he may have caught the
roar of the tempest-tossed waves. But
he must have forgotten, in his endless
captivity, the cheerful bounds of his
childhood, or perhaps fancied them re
vived in the gentle music of his guitar.
His mind, no doubt, sank iuto imbecil
ity in his solitary bondage. It hap
pened to most of the captives of thw
magnificent Louis to fall into prema
ture dotage, and to die surrounded by
mental illusions. Nor could the Man
in tho Musk have escaped the common
fate of Fouquet and Lmzun, of Ave
dick aud the Huguenot ministers.—
Old ago came upon him without rever
ence and without regard. No friendly
eye had looked upon his veiled counte
nance; no ehildreu nor grandchildren
cheered his weary hours as they drop
ped slowly away. The fai m \ , m pose Os
LoviU a.IV was perfectly fulfilled, and
the mysterious captive was shut forev
er from all intercourse with his fellow
men.
At last the inevitable deliverance
came. In November, 1703, while the
great kiug was wrapped in his scheme
of universal rule, ay reveling in his gor -
ge jus palaces and gay parterres, the
diaw-bndge of the Bastiie was lower
ed, and a seamy fuueral train passed
slowly out to the cemetery of thi
Church of St. Paul. The night was
falling, the shadows of evening hid the
Hist luneral rites of the Man of the
Mask. He had been taken ill a few
days before, had sunk rapidly, and
died in his solitary cell. Around him
were only the cold and pitiless jailers,
and no kid words nor gentle faces
cheered his last hours on earth. He
was buried with little ceremony, and
no show of regret. Two of the officers
of the prison alone followed to the
grave him whom credible historians
nave thought the rightful King of
I'lance, and who is shown by all the
circumstances of his imp? i sou merit to
have been at least a person of impor
tance. No relatives, no friend, was
tqkl of his fate; the king would suffer
no one to know of his death. — Eugene
