CONSUMPTION,
IP Cure and I(.<* Preventive
BY J. H. SCHENCK, 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 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. lias in hjs own case proved that
wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital
ity, by bis medicines and bis 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 G not a thousand times
substantiated by living and visible works. The
theory of the cure by Dr. Sc.hcnck’s medicines
is as simple as it is ui failing. Its philosophy
requires no argument. It is self-assuring, seli 1 -
oon vine, ing.
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 iu, 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-searching,
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 the alimentary canal are ejected. The liver,
like a clocK, is wound up. It arouses from its
torpidity. The stomach acts responsively, and
the patient begins to feel that he is getting, at
last,
A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD.
The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction witli the
Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food.
Chylincation is now progressing without its
previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless,
and the cure is seen to lie at hand. There is no
more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomac h
An appetite sets in.
Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever
yet green by an indulgent father to suffering
man. Schenck’s Pulmonic Svrup comes in to
perform its functions and to hasten and corn
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 I in a very short time the
malady is vanquished, the rotten throne that
it occupied is renovated and made new, and th‘3
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 ceuntrrv in
the winter season, arc all wrong. Physicians
who recommend that course lose patients, if
their lungs are badly diseased, and vet because
they arc in the house they must not sit down
quiet; they must walk about the room as much
aud as fast as tiie strength will bear, to get tip 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 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 was in these modest words :
Many years ago I was in the last stages of
consumption; confined to mv bed, and at one
time my physicians thought that I could not
live a week; then, like a drowning man catch
ing at straws, F heard of and obtained the pre
narations which T now offer to the public, and
{hey made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to
me that I could feel them penetrate mj r whole
system. They soon ripened the matter in my
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 couch,
level, 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, r soon gained my strength,
and have grown in flesh ever since.”
“I was weighed shortly after my recovery,”
added the Doctor, “then looking like a mere
skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven
pounds ; my present weight is two tuiiyired and
twentv-flve pounds, and for vehrs 1 have
“ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and , Boston, lie or his son,
Dr. J 11. Schenck. Jr., still coutinue 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 Respirometer declares the exact
condition of the lungs, alul patients can readily
learn whether tfcev are curable or not.
The direction* for taking the medicine are
addp'jcd to the intelligence even of a child
Follow these direct-ons, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man
drake Pills are to he 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.
ouce 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
eurcr of coughs and colds, may he regarded as a
prophylacfceric against consumption in any of
its forms. . ~

A LITERARY CURIOSITY.
Mrs. H. X. Doming, of San Francis
co, is said to have occupied a year in
hunting up and fitting together the
following thirty-eight lines from thirty
eight English poets. The names of
the authors are given below :
LIFE.
I— Why all this toil for triumphs of au hour!
9—Live’s a short summer, man of flower;
3By turns we catch the vital breath and die —
4 The cradle aud the tomb, alas! so nigh,
i—' To be is better far than not to be,
B—Though all man’s life may seem a tragedy.
7 But light cares speak when mighty griefs are.
dumb;
8— The bottom is but shallow whence they come
9 Your fate is but the common fate of all,
10— joys, here, to no man befall.
ll Nature to each allots his proper sphere.
12— Fortune makes folly her peculiar care;
13— Custom does not often reason overrule
14— And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool.
15— Live well, how long orshort, perm it to heav
en;
16— Tliey who forgive most, shall be most forgiv
en. .
17— Siu may be clasped so close we cannot see its
face—
18— Vile intercourse where virtue lias not place
19— Then keep each passion down, however dear
20— Thou pendulum, betwixt a smile aud tear;
21— Her sensual snares let faithless pleasure lay
22 With craft and skill, to ruin and betray.
23 Soar not too high to fall, but stoop to rise;
24 We masters grow of all that we despise.
25 Oh then renounce that impious self-esteem;
26 Riches have wings and grandeur is a dream
-27 Think not ambition wise, because’tis brave
28— The paths ot glory lead but to the grave.
29 What is ambition? ’Tis a glorious cheat,
30— Only destructive ti the brave and great.
31— What’s all the gaudy glitter of a crown?
:12«—The way to bliss lies not on beds of down.
33 How long wo live, not years but actions toll;
34 — That man lives twice who lives the first life
well.
35 Make then, while yet ye may, your God
your friend.
36 Whom Christians worship, jet not compre
hend.
37 I The trust that’s given guard, and toyour
sel f be just;

“ And he buried him in a valley in the
land of Moab, over against Bethpeor, but
no man knowetb his sepulchre unto this
day-”—-Dept. xxiv. 6.
By Nebo’s lonely mountain,
On this side Jordan's wave,
In a vale in the laud of Moab,
Tliere liee a lonely grave ;
And no man dug that sepulchre,
And no man saw it e’er ;
For the angel of God upturned the sod
And laid the dead man there.
That was the graudest funeral
That ever passed on earth ;
But no man heard the trampling
Or saw the train go forth.
Noiselessly as
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak on ocean’s cheek
Grow-s into the great sun ;
Noiselessly as the spring-time
Her crown of vendure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves, —
So, without sound of music
Or voice of them that wept.
Silently down from the mountain orown
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle
On gray Bothpcor’s height,
Out of his rocky oyry
Looked on the wondrous sight.
Perchance the lion stalking
Still shuns that hallowed spot.
For beast and bird have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not. .
But when the warrior dicth,
llis comrades in the war
With arms reversed and muffled drum
Follow the funeral car.
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his masterless steed
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest of the land
Men lay the sage to rest,
And give the bard an honored place
With costly marble dressed ;
In the great minister transept,
Where lights like glories fall,
And the choir sings and the organ rings,
Along the emblazoned wall.
This was the bravest warrior
That ever buckled sword ;
This the most gifted poet
That ever breathed a word ;
And never earth’s philosopher
Traced with his golden pen.
On the deathless page truths half so sago
As he wrote down for men.
And had he not high honor,
The hillside for his pall ;
To lie in state while angels wait
With stars for tapers tall;
And the dark rock pines, like tossing
plumes,
Over his bier to wave ;
And God’s own hand, in that lonely land,
To lay him in the grave.
In the deep grave, without a name,
Whence hi> uncotiined clay
Shall break again-most wondrous thought
Before the judgment day,
And stand with glory wrapped around,
On the hills he never trod.
And speak of strife that won our life
IViih the incarnate Son of/iou.
0 lonely tomb in Moab’s land,
0 daik Bethpeor’s hill,
Speak in these curious hearts of ours.
And teach them to be still.
God hath his mysteries of grace—
Ways that we cannot tell:
lie hides them deep, like the secret sleep
Os him he loved so well.
A Knoxville ’etter in tho Cincinnati
Commercial says :
The question was asked of Mr. John
son wbat he thought of the Tallantlig
hani departure.
“ I haven’t read the entire platform,”
replied he, “but what I hear of it,
there are some sensible points in it.
But we must not. depart too much.—
So to speak, there is as much danger
iu getting too far away as staying too
near. There are middle-grounds which
it is the best policy to occupy. The
trouble is that some of our party want
to accept k>o much, and others don’t
want to accept anything. It should
not be the policy of the Democracy to
threaten to use force against the re
construction acts, or against the re
cent amendments. There is a lawful
and constitutional remedy for every
ill. Our party is a party of peace, of
law, of order. We want no violent
measures. In my opinion the letter
of Frank Blair to Broadhead at the
eve of the last Presidential campaign
did a great deal of harm. VVhy ? Be
cause it was so written as to be con
strued into a threat that in case the
Democracy came into j>ower they
would uve force against tho recon
struction acts. Now, we should not
threaten force, nor anything like it.
There is a peaceable remedy, and that
remedy is in convincing the people
that tho last two amendments to the
Constitution and the reconstruction
acts are wrong. It is within tho pro
vir.ee of the people to alter these
things is they will. The true policy is
to accept these things as accomplished
facts, but at tho same time leave our
selvosfree to hereafter urge their ab
rogation at the bar of reason and jus
tice. I have always had great faith
in the good sense and intelligence of
the American people. We must ap
peal to them to remedy these evils,
but to do it in a lawful and constitu
tional way. Another amendment can
be adopted that will do away with the
evils of the last two. I have no faith
in a remedy through the courts. It
must be done at the bar of the people.
Therefore I look for a remedy iu the
future, and I am not going to say, and
no other Democrat should say, that
he accepts the reconstruction meas
ures and amendments as finalities,
aud that attempts will be made in the
future to get rid of them in a lawful
and peaceable manner. We should
not commit ourselves to any such ab
surd doctrine. We should boldly pro
claim that we accept these amendments
aud acts as the law of the land now,
but that we will hereafter use every
honorable means to convince the peo
that they should be abrogated and re
pealed. If the people will not do it,
then, of course, it cannot be dona But
for us to say that we will forever close
our lips against these iniquities is d—d
nonsense.”
I asked Mr. Johnson what bethought
of Gen. Sherman as a Democratic
nominee for the Presidency.
“ Sherman,” said he, “ is a smart
man and a shrewd man. There is no
doubt but wlml he is looking forward
to the Presidency, and if he can’t get
it from one party he intends to from
another. He is not very particular
about parties. In course of time be
expects to be President, but he is iu
no particular hurry about it. His
chief aim now is not to lose bis popu
larity, and to be ready when the gold
en moment comes. He is a military
man, and don’t care much about par
ties. He is a good deal as Grant was
after the close of the war. That l : ttle
fellow had quto a notion of going with
the Democracy for a while.”
“ He was formerly a Democrat, was
he not ?’’
“ No, he wasn’t anything. He did
not have sense enough. He has got
no head of his own. Sherman is a
much smarter man than he as you can
imagine. Frequently they have both
come in to see me on business. Grant
always stood back and let Sherman
do the talking. The little fellow felt
his inferiority, took a back seat, and
let Sherman transact the business.—
Sherman is a man, while Grant is
nothing. Yos, sir, he is just nothing.”
“ But the Republicans will be apt
to renomir ate him, don’t you think ?”
“ Appearances indicate that they
will.”
“ They have got him, and seem in
clined to hold on to him.”
“ No,” replied Mr. Johnson ; “he
has got them, 'ihey can’t get rid of
him. He is in, and intends to remain
in. He has got the patronage and
that infamous Ku-Klux bill o aid him.
That Ku- lux law is a damnable in
famy. Twenty years ago it would
have shocked the American people like
electricity.”
HANCOCK FOR PUESIIipNT.
“ You think, Mr. Johnson, that there
S. H. Smith <s' Ca~, Proprietors.
is no prospect that the Democracy will
take Sherman ?”
“ No, t.bey will not he apt to tako
him. Generally speaking, I am op
posed to a military man on the ticket,
hut if it is necessary that we hare one,
why not take OJeueral Hancock ? He
is a soldier, a statesman, a scholar,
and a geutloman. He is a noble Bp(ci
men of a man every w*iy you take him,
physically or mentally. There is no
comparison between Grant and him.
Grant is ho man ; he is nothing.'’
“It seems to me, Mr. Johnson, that
the Democracy have a goldeu oppor
tenity to win next year if they will act
sensibly.”
“ Yes, so they have, as you say, if
they act sensibly. But will they ? —-
There are men in the South,especially ,
who are continually committing blun
ders. Now, look at the speech of Jeff.
Davis, recently made at Augusta, in
which he talks about the lost cause,
and all such foolishness. That will
trumpeted all over the North, to
frighten men away from the Demo
cratic party. I have no doubt but
what his Selma speech contributed
much towards our defeat in Connecti
cut.
Chris!Utility on Trial.
Dr. Newman, at Washington, said
from his pulpit. ‘I am neither a proph
et nor the son of a prophet, yet I ven
ture this prediction: Whithin the next
decade, aye, within the next five years,
Christianity will be tried as it has nev
er been tried before. There are men
in England and Amer.ca to-day, who
will bring to the assault a ripeness of
scholarship, a power of intellect, and a
breadth of view unequalled by the
past.’
DovS Dr. Newman fear the result f
Let the trial be made, by all means.—
The storms of eighteen centuries have
beaten against the living rock of Chris
tianity, yet its strength and glory has
only been deepened and brightened by
the conflict. Its base is the universe,,
its crowu bears the golden mansion*
of immortality. The sun light of hu
man intellect will only serve to bring
into sharper outline of the heavenly
beauty of its structure, and to throw
into still darker shade the pigmy tow
ers of Babel, which olden superstition
or modern infidelity have sought to
rear in blasphemous mockery of the-
Rock of Ages. By all moans, Dr. New
man, let the test of Christianity begin.

Stealing un Elephant.
Several frisky young braves ©f the
Pottawattamie tribe attended Rober
son’s circus while the {bowman was iu
Kansas, and they were so much strued
with the “Father of Animals,” as they
called the elephant, that they resolved
to steal him. The plan was carried in
to execution at a late hour in the night.
But when the elephant was released,,
the Pottawattamies were at their wit’s
end to know what to do w’th him.—
The elephant solved this perplexing
question in a very unexpected manner.
Raising his snout, he scattered the
young braves right and left, and charg
ed down upon the Indian camp. Only
nineteen wigwams were destroyed, and
John Robinson recovered his elephant
the next day. Several of the Poitn
wattamies will not visit any more cir

JteiT'A remarkable story comes to ns
from Michigan relative to the forma
tion of anew birth of anew harbor at
Portage Lake. The story briefly is,
that a number of sellers, who were ag
grieved by the existence of a dam on
Portage Creek, which raised the wa
ters of Portage Lake some eight or
ten feet above the waters of Lake
Michigan, dug a small ditch across the
neck of land between Portage Lake and
Lake Michigan. The pent up waters
rushed through wfith tremendous force,
teariug up and carrying off forest trees
and hills, until now there is a channel
nearly four hundred feet w'ide and
over twenty feet deep, connecting the
two lakes, and thus forming one of the
best harbo"s on that coast.
