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 druggists and dealers. „ JOHN F.

THE SHAKE]* CITY. 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 ! S. 11. Smith (f Cos., Proprietors. 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 -Lawuence, m Harper a Magazine for June. Ambrose li.
