Its Cure aud Its Preventive
BY J. H. SOHENCK, M. D.
MANY a human being lias passed away, 1
for whose deatli there was no other reason |
than the neglect of known and indisputably |
proven means of cure. Those near and dear to I
family and friends are sleeping the,dreaml«ss I
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. Schcnck 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. Sclienck’s medicines
is as simple as it is" ui failing. Its philosophv
reqiiires no argument. It is self-assuring, self- i
convincing.
The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
the first two weapons with which the citadel
of the malady is assailed. Two-thiols of the
cases 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 l’elta
tuin. 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, q,t
last,
A SUPPLY OF GOOD RLOOD.
The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the
Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food.
(Jhylincation 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
vet given by an indulgent lather to suffering
man. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup comes in to
perform its functions and to hasten and coni
plete Hie cure. It enters at once upon its work.
Nature cannot he 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 very 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, hut it must he prevented or
a cure cannot he 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 nuist walk about the room as much
and as fast as me 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,
aud 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 my bed, and at one
time my physicians thought that I could not
live a week; then, like a drowning man catch
ing at strawy I heard of ami obtained the pre
parations which I now offer to the public, and
they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to
inc that I could feel them penetrate my whole
syste m. They soon ripened the matter in inv
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 congli,
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 mv 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
twentv-five pounds, and for rears I have
“ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
ht, Schcnck has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston. He or his son.
Dr. J 11. Schcnck, Jr., still continue to see
patients at their office. No. 15 North Sixth street,
Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. m., to 8
p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination
with 'the Respirnmeter will be charged five
dollars. The Respirometer declares the exact
condition of the lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether thev are curable or not.
Tho directions for taking the medicine afe
adapied to the intelligence even of a child
Follow these directors, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man
drake Tills are to be taken in increased doses :
the three medicines need no other accompani
ments than the ample instructions that d'>
accompany them. First create appetite* Ui'
returning health hunger is the most welcome
svmptoni. When it comes, as it will come, lei;
the despairing he of good cheer. Good blood at;
once follows, the cough loosens, tho night sweat
is abated. In a short time both of t hese morbid
symptoms are gone forever.
' Dr. Sehenck’s medicines are constantly kept;
in tens of thousands of families. Asa laxative,
or purgative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard
preparation; while the J’ulmonie Syrup, as a
eurer of coughs and colds, may be regarded as
pronhylactcric against consumption in any ot"
its forms. .
Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed
Tonic, $1,50 a bottle, or $7.50 a half dozen. Man

sept. 20, 1870. wly
Ex-Prafedcm Davis
We have, on several occasions gitcft
the New York Evening Pod credit for
enlarged and liberal views in connec
tion with the political affairs of the
country. It seems however, that we
were somewhat sf&€y. Iu its issue of
the 30th ult., under the head of “A
Grinina! at large,” we find an article.as
•bitter and -as contemptible as if it had
sprung from tiro lying brain of Greely
or the truculnot pen- of Forney. It is
probable that the mild Mr. Bryant had
taken more than his usual quantity of
of weak tea. The following extract
will serve to show the animus of this
apostle of peace:
“Let Mr. Davis and his associates in
murder and treason be not deceived by
the moderation of the American peo
ple. They have escaped the gallows,
because we reverence the law, and care
more for its forms and authority than
for the punishment of an enemy of our
society. We believe in the strength of
our social system, and that it v\ ill
stand firm, even if twenty such mur
derers as killed Nathan aud Putnam in
this city, or tortured to death hun
dreds of our friends in Anderson ville,
should remain at large. But the peo
ple, who will not punish crime save in
strict accordance with their own laws,
do not therefore love it or tolerate it.
They despise the guilty wretch who
now brazenly parades his treason in
public places, and dares to hold up
hands red with the blood of the nation
in the political council of citizens.—
They will not hang him for crimes
which the law has failed to reach, but
they will watch him; they will keep the
public purse beyond the reach of his
knaveish fingers; they will brand with
disgrace and ruin every party or clique
which admits him to its communion,
and will see to it that one more mur
der or act of treason shall bring his
doom upon him.
“There is no future in a free land
for such as he; there is no repentance
that can atone for his crimes. From a
certain depth of infamy society cannot
permit a recovery; and,, with all the
rights of a citizen before the law, such
as we should be glad to have the law
restored to every man who forfeited
them by the rebellion, Jefferson Davis
will still live and die under the brand
of a traitor and the shame of a thou
sand crimes. Better for him had he
worn into oblivion the disguise in
which he sought six years ago to
escape from his country.”
There is something ridiculous in tho
frightened manner in which these ‘loil’
patriots shrink back from every word
and gesture of ex-President Davis; but
it is time they learned the truth. The
acts of Mr. Davis are the acts of the
Southern people. If he is a traitor,
they are traitors. They court whatev
er fate may befall him. They are tru
ly his people. They not only admiro
and reverence his character and cour
age, but they will teach their children
to love and venerate him. His name
will be a household word in the South
while faithfulness and patriotism find
a lodgment in Southern hearts. Crown
ed as a victor, he would have been
dear to us, but in the gloom and des
olation of defeat, our hearts go out to
him with a devotion inexpres&ably ten
der. And whenever those whom,
through all disaster, he calls his peo
ple shall forget him or prove untrue to
him, we hope—we write it deliberately
—that a just heaven may smite the
land with fire, and sword, and famine.
We are sorry 4o see this article in
the Post. Mr. Bryant has always im
pressed us as being honest, courteous,
generous —iu brief, a gentleman. Dif
fering with him, wo still had the most
profound respect for him. Dignified,
genial and candid, as we thought him
to be, his opinions on questions of
public policy ,calmly and dispassionate
ly uttered, aud devoid of the roar, and
rant, and fustian of the little partizans
of the day, carried with them singular

Bryant, with one plunge, on a level
with common liars like Greely and un
principled villians like Forney. AVe
do him the justice to say that we have
no idea that he wrote the foul philip
pic; but it goes forth in his name.* It
in insolent, malicious, and malignant,
and the last paragraph in the extract
we have quoted embodies a statement
which is notoriously a lie, and which
the editor of tho Post knows to be
such.
Let the Post console itself. Jeffer
son Davis is a representative man of
the South. His opinions are the opin
ions of all the better classes of tho
Southern people. If it is a treason to
love our hero and our captain, and to
be proud of his fame, why then, the
Post and its brethren must make the
most of it. That is all!— Sav. Neics.

A SIC.ITT WORTH SEEING IN TIIE WD'COflFSlft
WOODS.
The propensity of wild pigeons to
congregate in multitudes at given sea
sms is well known, and many tremen
dous stories have been told of them,
tho details of which wero thought to
make a heavy draft on public erected -
ty We have now, however, authenti
cated information from a gentleman of
the highest reputation, who passed last
w eek in the section of Wisconsin we
are about to describe, of a “roost” so
enormous iu extent that it throws all
the older accounts into the shade.
Commencing near Kilbourae City,
the breeding ground extends north
ward nine townships in length, and
probably more with a variable width
of from ten to twenty miles. The for
ests within these limits are made up
exclusively of oak and evergreens, of a
variety of species. It is a sandy dis
tricl, embracing perhaps the poorest
soil iu the State, aud apparently des
titute of food f. r even moderate docks
of birds. Yet almost continuously,
over the whole area, every tree and
shrub is so loaded with nests as to be
past computation in numbers. On
single pines, from eighty to ope hmi
dred were counted, when the job had
to be given up as impracticable.
Our informant. Col. Henry Herndon,
gives some curious details of his i xpe
rieuce on his breeding ground, and of
the habits of the pigeon when aggre
gated in such multitudes. The nest
ing place is not, as would naturally be
supposed, selected for any abundance
of food, for a pigeon can readily pass
in an hour from fifty to a hundred
miles, so that the range is really
across the entire State, and they have
carried wide-spread destruction among
the grain fields. The male attends
the young during the middle of the
day, the female returning toward ev
ening to take charge. Only one egg
was am where found in a nest. The
incubation lasts about two weeks, and
the young in a short time after are
ruthlessly thrust out to take care of
themselves, and develop so rapidly
that a few days suffice to give them
full maturity.
Probably the sex changes alternate
ly with each brood, as the process of
hatching goes on continuously. Mil
lions of tho young perish, but it makes
no appreciable difference in the num
ber. The woods are alive with wolves,
foxes and all the species of native
carnivora, who feed to repletion with
out making any sensible reduction of
tlio aggregate. Scores of hunters
catch their thousands daily in nets—
and bands of ludiaus am busy iu dry
ing and preparing other thousands as
a supply for next winter’s use. But
all the shooting, netting, knocking
from the trees with poles, and every
form of destructive agency fails to
make any sensible impression.
Ihe scene in the night is described
as most remarkable. Immense Hocks
get benighted while off feeding, and,
as they return, the roar of their wings
through tue forest is overwhelming.—
I hey pile upon each other literally in
heaps, beraking the overburdenod
brambles, and precipitating multitudes
from their perches upon the ground.
Ihe wild wings and the chatterings
that fill the air as late as midnight, is
truly appalling, while the odor arising
from the countless dead and drooping
produce a stencil almost intolerable.
The “dock,” if that term is compre
hensive enough, is moving northward,
and will probably reach Lake Superior
in June, when the “season" will close
by a return South, which generally
takes place by way of Michigan.—
They probably -annually make a great
circuit, like a buffalo, from North to
South and return. Any one curious
to see this spectacle should take the
cars to Kilbourne City and follow up
the cast side of the Wisconsin river.—
The thousands sent to market are
caught at points far distant from the
herding grounds, so that the real lo
cality is not generally known.
Another Important Railroad Op
eration.
We observe that the Vicksburg and
Shreveport Railroad was recently pur
chased by the Southern Pacific Rail
road at a cost of two million dollars,
and that the line will be completed to
Marshall, Texas, within twelve monlbs.
This is a move in the interests of the
Southern Atlantic ports, and especially
of Savannah. Immense efforts have
been made, and are still making, by
Northern ports to appropriate the
Southern Pacific Railroad and make
both those great trans-continental
highways of trade tributary to their
prosperity. The charter locates the
line from Marshall, Texas, to San Die
go, on the thirty-second parallel, and
it is clear that the eourse east of Mar
shall to the Atlantic should continue
on the same line, which leads to Sa
vannah, as the nearest port. The
course of the company in repelling all
propositions for a detour northward
from Marshall, and in purchasing the
direct line from Shreveport to Vicks
burg, proves that it intends to make
the road a Southern one, as it should be.
The thirty-second parallel from ocean
to ocean is the true liue for the main
trunk; this completed, let everybody
connect with it who can by branch
roads. —Savannah Republican.

Litiira P. Fair.
Few pages of human crime, in any
age or country, are blacker and blond
er-than the records of the California
murderess. Many of our leading pa
pers have published a full account of
the trial. We will present a few facts
which may point a moral, if they fail
to feed a sensational ap{ etite.
It is said Laura Fair was born in
Mississippi. Went, when young, to
New Orleans, married there at sixteen,
a merchant named Stone, who soon
died, married again a Mr. Grayson,
left him in six months and went with
her mother to San Francisco. Hero
she became the wife of Col. W. R
Fair, a gentleman of acknowledged
accomplishments, and considerable
wealth. So infatuated was be with
his beautiful wife that he permitted;
her to gratify every caprice and whim,
and in a few years sbe had squandered
his splendid fortune. I>rrt when he*
became a bankrupt she cast him off
and soon found another protector. : —
So deeply did this d : sgrace wear ou
him, that in 1858 he ended his life
with a pistol. She leaves San Fran
cisco and opens a hotel at Virginia
City, where she first 3ees her latest
victim, the Hon. A. P. Crittenden, a
distinguished member of the San
Francisco bar. She fires a pistol at
Crittenden and wounds him in the
arm because ho refuses to separate
from his wife. Mrs. Fair, af!er spend
ing $70,000 of his money, shoots Crit
tenden through the heart while in tlie
embrace of his wifo and child. Mrs
F. is said to bo surpjissfngly hand
some, a woman of education and ac
complishments, ambitious, extrava
gant, and under tbe jrrffefernee of a
crafty, avaricions mother.
Such is a short sketch of Laura
Fair, now a convicted murderess iu a
California prison.
Tile Insect Invasion-
The much-dreaded seven teen-year
locust has already appeared in Illinois.
Mr. Sanford, of Morris, Grtindy coun
ty, has sent in a few specimens, and
reports that many millions of the pests
are visible in his section. They will
probably be found all over the South
ern part of the State m greater or less
numbers, and will undoubtedly make
immense havoc among the fruit trees
and shrubs, While they threaten but
little damage to the grain. The locust
is reported to have last appeared in
this section in 1854, so that it is due
in 187 L
The character of this scourge is wed
indicated by its name, which signifies
a burned place, the districts ravaged*
by them often resembling regions des
olated by fire. The locusts of the Old
World eat off the leaves from the
trees and destroy every particle of
vegetation in the districts over which
they pass. The American species, of
which about fifteen are enumerated,
do not appear’to be so destructive ns
their Asiatic name-sakes, but their
ravages are terrible, nererthch ss. Tho
insects are about one and a half inch
es long, with black wings spreading
about three inches, and margined with
yellow. The hind legs are very pow
erful, enabling them to leap much
further than the grasshopper; and
they rub these hind legs across pro
jecting veins in the wing covers, pro
ducing a sound which has been com
pared to that of a violin. Their wings
are strong, giving the power of rapid
flight, which is accompanied by a loud,
whizzing sound.
The present year promises to be one
of unusual activity in the insect world.
The locust in the North, the Hessian
fly in the Southern wheat fields, the
chinch-bug to the west of us, and the
poisonous potato-bug almost all over
the country, will do immense damago.
Their appearance in sneh unwonted
numbers is supposed to be due to tho
greater heat last year and the deficient
rain fall, which was scarcely more
than three-fourths of the average all
over the civilized world.
[Chicago Tribune , May 30.
A novel experiment waR success
fully tried in the Hackensack river a
few days ago, to recover the body of a
man named Hahn, who had been
drowned while bathing. After many
unsuccessful efforts with grappling
irons and other apparatus, a French
Canadian, named Adolph Bnshe, pro
ceeded to search for the body, and, to
this end, provided himself with several
glass gallon jars and a quantity of un
slacked lime. Placing these in a boat*
he rowed to the place where the man
j was seeu to go down for the last time,
! and there placed his small craft over
the exact spot as nearly as possible;
after which, he filled one of the jnrs
half full of lime, then filled it up with
water, and corked it tightly. The
next operation was to drop it in the
water, where it .soon reached the bot
tom, and in a few seconds exploded
with a loud report. After winch, the
same experiment was repeated with a
second jar; and after a third trial,
which was undertaken at a distance
apart from the scene of the other two,
the body arose and was scoured, .the
violent explosion in its immediate vi
cinity on the bottom of the river, and
the ascending motion of the liberated
gases having had the tendency to dis
lodge it and carry it with them to the
surface.— Exchange.

temporary that it has ‘doubled its cir
culation. Another mnn takes a copy,
