CONSUMPTION,
Its €-tirc and Its S*s*cvciitive
BY J. E. SOHENOK, 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 the dieamless
slumber into which, had they calmly adopted
DR. JOSEPH If. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE
TREATMENT.
and availed themselves of his wonderful effica
cious medicines, they would not have fallen.
Dr. Schenck 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 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. Schenck’s medicines
is as simple as it is ui failing. Its philosophy
requires no argument. It is self-assuring, sell
convincing.
The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
the first two weapons with which the citadel
of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the
cases of consumption originate in dyspepsia
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 tolls are composed of one of
Nature’s noblest gifts—the PodophilUun Pelta
tum. They possess all the blood-searching,
alterative properties of- domel.
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 the alimentary canal are ejected. The liver,
like a clocK. is wound up. It arouses from its
torpidity. The stomach acts responsivelv, and
the patient begins to feel that he is getting, at
last,
A SUPrLY OF GOOD BLOOD.
The Seaweed Tonic in conjunction with the
Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food.
Chyliflcation 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 Svrup comes in to
perform its functions and to hasten and com
jfiete 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 gathering"., it prepares them for
expectoration, and lo ! in a very short time the
malady is vanquished, the lotfceu 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 LG ST.
The second thing is, the path nts must stav in
a warm room until they get well ; it is almost
impossible to prevent taking cold when the
lungs are diseased, hut it must he prevented or
a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding
out, especially in this section of the country in
the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians
who recommend that course lose patients, if
their lungs are badly diseased, and yet 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 h:is 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, and moral cer
tainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Schenck’s
personal statement to the Faculty of his own
cure w as in these modest words :
Many M*ars ago T 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 aud obtained the pre
paration 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. The> soon ripened the matter in mv
lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of
offensive yellow matter every morning lbr 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
wms 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 only ninety-seven
pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and
twenty-five pounds, and for rears I have
“ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional
visit toN.ew York and Boston. He or his son,
Dr. J 11. Schenck. Jr., still continue to see
patients at their office, No. 15 North Sixth street,
Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. in., to 3
p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination
with the Respirometer will he charged five
dollars. The Respirometer declares the exact
condition of the lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether ihev are curable or not.
Tho directions 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 Fills are to he taken in increased doses ;
the three medicines r.eed 210 other accompani
ments ttvau the ample instructions that do
accompany them. First create appetite. Os
returning health hunger i- the most welcome
symptom. When it comes. :,s 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.
Di\ Schenck’s mcdic.iues 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 be regarded as a
prophylacteric against consumption in any of
its forms.
Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed
Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, or $7.50 a half dozeA. Man
drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale bv all
druggists and dealers.

I*rcsulc2it Davis.
Tho Atlanta Constitution of the 25,
gives a glowing description of the re
ception of Mr. Davis in Atlanta at the
Kimball House, the beauty and fash
ion of the city being present, and an
immense concourse of the people wel
coming this renowned leader of the
late Southern Confederacy. A like
ovation had been given him at Augus
ta, the Hon. H. W. Hilliard welcoming
him in an eloquent address, to which
Mr. Davis replied to the delight of his
many hearers.
Gen. Garlington peiformed the like
office of the occasion, in Atlanta, “in a
speech as beautiful and chaste as it
was brief and appropriate.” From the
synopsis rendered by the Constitution,
we give below the remarks of Mr. Da
vis, regretting that we have not tho
space for the very eloquent speech of
Gen. Garlington.
Mr. Davis came forward upon the
balcony amid loud and continuous ap
plause and cries of “cheers for Jeff Da
vis.”
Mr. Davis said that he thanked the
audience for this testimonial,*Wbich ho
considered as not paid to his merit,
but to their wroth. No people had
ever proved as devoted to a fallen chief
as the people of the South.
They had engaged in the last war
fare to battle for the same principle
contended for by their revolutionary
ancestors, the right of communal inde
pendence or State sovereignty. He
denied that the rights of the people
had ever been submitted te the arbi
trament of the sword. No one could
delegate that right; as their chief Ex
ecutive, he had never submitted it, nor
would he ever admit it.
He alluded in terse and glowing
terms to the historic fame of Georgia,
from the days of Oglethorpe Lo the
present. Georgians had pi’oved true
to their gloiry in the revolution, in 18-
12, and in the last conflict. If the
people of tho North bad recognized
the truthfulness and fidelity of Geor
gians when they gave up the contest,
they would never have considered it
necessary to put them under guard.—
The world could not furnish bayonets
enough to make a Georgian prove
more true to his obligations than his
own oath could do.
He would accept nothing. He would
admit that Power was in the ascen
dency over Right, but he never would
acquit that he had done wrong. No
one could compel any one to believe
that they were guilty of wrong, if they
were innocent. He had shaken hands
with politics, and advised the people
to bo quiet and wait for the hour of
deliverance. That the hour would
surely come. Galileo was compelled
to recant, yet after the signing lie re
marked, “and yet tho world moves.”—
The world moves. Right and Truth
and Principle would prevail. The sur
est way to regain our rights was to act
quietly—submit to the laws, but yet
yield up no piinciple.
The people of the North understood
tUeir rights as well as the people of the
South, and would never consent to
their surrender. We must look to
them to bring out a change which

Tlie Woes of a Black Major.
On Tnesdey afternoon Captain Wil
lard A. Hussey, formerly an officer in
the Thirteenth Massachusetts Volun
teers, but more recently from South
Carolina militia, entered the baiTOom
of the Astor House. Major Dickfersou
is a black man. The captain called
for some old rye whiskey, and, turning
to his colored friends, said, “Major,
wl.at will you drink ?”
The major called for rum and mo
lasses, but was indignantly repelled by
the barkeeper, who remarked in an in
solent manner, “We don’t sell rum to
niggers here.”
This remark naturally incensed the
major. Taking oil his cap and milta
ry cloak, he said:
“Gentlemen, the Democratic party
of the North is different from the Dem
ocrats of the South. When I was a
slave, I was often asked by white gen
tlemen to take a drink, and I never
was lam now a citizen. I
have been locked up in the Tombs all
night, and that ought to entitle me to
vote in New York. I tried three times
to see Horace Greely. He finally sent
me woxtl that he had no confidence in
the Republican party of Sauth Cifro
linn. He said he thought they were
all thieves. Gentlemen, I’m from
Charleston, and I tell you—”
Hei’e the barkeeper interrupted the
major, and said that if somebody didn’t
get out somebody else would call the po
lice, whei’eupon Major Dickerson pick
ed up his hat and coat, and, accompa
nied by Captain Hussey, left the Astor
House.
The next seen of these gentlemen
was at the H;me Made Hotel, Green
which sti’eet, where Captain Hussey
makes his headquasters.
They entered together, and were go
ing up stairs when seen by the propri
etor.
“Hilloa there,” he cried out, “this is
no colored boai'ding-bouse.” We
don’t permit anything of the sort here.
“But this is my friend,” answered
Captain Hussey, ‘and he is going to
my room with me sir.’
‘This is my house, sir,’ said the pro
prietor, ‘and it is against my rules to
allow any negroes up stairs. You
must either abide my rules or leave
this house, sir.’
Down came the major and his friend,
the captain. Not a word was spoken
until they reached tho sidewalk, then
the major boiling over with rage and
mortification, gave vent to his feelings
in curses both loud and deep.
‘Didn’t I tell you that the Democrats
of the North are better friends to you
than the Republicans are?’ modestly
asked the captain.
‘l'm done, sir, I’m done,’ implied the
major. ‘l’ll go back to Charleston and
tell those folks down there something
they don’t know, sir. I’ve got to let
out all I know w T hen I get back to
Charleston, and I’ll scare some of those
fellows. Good bye, captain, I’ll see
you to-morrow, and the excited black
politician started for his colored board
ing-house in Broome street.— N. Y. S.
A Fiendish Mother.
Singular Case of Abduction—
A Strange Story.
The follow strange story, (says the
Atlanta New Era,) appeal's in Theo
dore Tilton’s Golden Age, of New York,
which journal vouches for it:
A young lady of Philadelphia, of
marked talents, of many accomplish
ments, and of high moral worth, and
lacking only two or three months of
her majority, had formed an engage
ment of marriage with a young man to
wiiom her mother did not wish to see
her allied. The mother had long been
confined to her bed, confined with
illness, through which the daughter
had attended her with the most filial
devotion.
On learning the fact of the unshaken
resolution of this daughter, the mother
sprang from the bed, and, clutching
hf r child by the throat, told her she
should not leave the room alive; that
she would send her to heaven and her
lover to hell. The poor, half strangled
girl, knowing that her mother always
kept within reach a six-barreled re
volver, passively resigned herself a
victim. Sne was taken to an upper
room and made a close prisonei l .
A midnight came, when, after hours
of suffering, she had fallen into a
troubled sleep. She was waked by
her mother entering the room, and or
dered to get up and dress herself. A
carriage was at the door, and, with her
father and another man, she w T as taken
out, and soon found herself moving
away to the sound of cturiage wheels.
Soon this was exchanged for the
rapid motion of a steam car, and in the
morning she found herself a prisoner
in a hotel in New York. It would
seem that a plan to put her a board a
steamer sailing to Europe did not suc
ceed, and her next experience was to
find herself in the cars, on her way
back to Philadelphia. Here she was
again locked up for a day or two.—
Again, at the midnight hour, she was
taken from her bed, conducted to New
York, and now put pn board a sts m
er—with no explanation whatever as
to what was to be her fate of destina
tion.
She had imagined she was to be ta
ken to Boston, and it was not until
she found herself out upon the ocean
that she could have learned the fact
that she was on Lei* vay to Eux'ope.
It is left to coiu ;eluro as to what may

be the fate of this young lady. Wheth
er she is to be immured in a convent
or a lunatic asylum is not known to
others, and is probably as little known
to herself.
Power of Poetry,
The poet was the great man of an
tiquity, preserving in his songs the
laws, the history, and even the lan
guage of nations. He excited the en
thusiasm and patriotism of the people,
and many difficulties in the State were
charmed away by his words.
It is related of Solon, the great law
giver, that ho always resorted to poe
try when any difficulty arose, and that,
by this means, he often aroused the
people to the pei'formaixce of heroic
deeds.
Philosophy, too, sought the aid of
poetry. Thales was a poet. Pytha
goiTus dictated verses. Xenophanes
and Pamenides delivered their doc
trines in poems.
A considerable share of the influ
ence in the Reformation has been as
cribed to the poets. They ridiculed
the superstitious aud absurdities of the
prevailing religion, and attacked the
ignorance and immorality of the cler
gy. Pi'ose works were published in
Scotland against Popery as early as
1543; but long before that time the re
fci'med sentiments were diffused by
metrical writings.
Margaret, in France, assisted Calvin
by writing poems, which had a won
derful influence in the conversion of
men to the refoimed faith. Cajetan,
cardinal and legate of the Pope, said
of Luther: “He has conquered us by
his songs. Cai’dinal Thomas a-Jesu
writes; “The interests of Luther are
furthered in an extraoi'dinary degree
by the singing of his hymns by the
people oi every class, not only in
schools and churches, but dwellings
and shops, in markets and streets and
fields.”
On several occasions when the evan
gelical doctrines were assailed in the
churches, the speaker was interrupted
in his address by a great outburst of
song by the whole congregation. Says
one; “It was on the wings of hymns,
which embodied and popularized the
new doctrines, that the Reformation
flew through Germany.” Musical en
tertainments were introduced by Zuin
gle. “He taught the select circles of
his friends to manage both the voice
and the instrument, and parties met
in each other’s houses for song.”—
“Thus arose the fine quartette in the
Swiss cottages and the choir in the
Swiss churches; and these became the
leaders of Christian song among tho
Reformed.”
Isaac Taylor says of Charles Wesley:
“Richly gifted as be is with graces,
genius and talents, he draws souls,
thousands of souls, in his wake, from
Sunday to Sunday, as he so draws
them onward from earth to heaven by
th 6 charms of his sacred verse. So, by
music and poetry he is ever, taming
the roughness of unlettered minds,
renovating worn-out spirits, bringing
hearts benumbed by sordid cares and
worldly pi’ospects into that bright at
mosphere in which his own spirit
dwelt, and winning everywhere a list
ening ear for the higher harmonies of
heaven.”
Isaac Watts knew the power of sa
cred song. When dissatisfied with
what his Church afforded, and earnest
ly desiring something better, he wrote:
“Os all religious solemnities, psalmody
is tho most unhappily managed. That
very action which should elevate ua
to the most delightful and divine sen
sations, doth not only flatten our de
votion, but too often awakens our re
gret, and touches all the springs of
uneasiness within us.” At an early
age he attempted a reform of the lan
guage of praise; was the means of giv
ing to the Church as fine a collection
of hymns as can be found in the wide
world.— New York Observer.
Held Heb Breath Forever.— The
Alexandria Gazette mentions a novel su
icide of a little girl twenty-one montha
of age, the child of Mr. William Deav
ers, about nine miles below Alexandria,,
on tho Poblick road. The child heltk
her breath while a pet, as children fre
quently do, and died, although she
was perfectly well before the crying fit..
An effectual way to prevent unfortu
nate results of this kind is to throw
cold water in the face of a child as
soon as it begins to hold its breath.—
The shock of the water ill make it
gasp, and necesarily force it to take
breath, as well a s divert attention,
from the lit of anger.
During the examination of a witness
as to the locality of stairs in a boose,
the council asked, “Which way do the
stairs run ?” The witness very inno
cently replied, “One way they run up,
but the other way down !”
According to the Montgomexy Ad

most respect fell in the vicinity of that
village last Monday. The hail was a
foot thick on a dead level, and knee
deep in ravines and sloughs. It came
over the axtle-tree of a buggy six
miles from the city. So much remain
