CO IVSTJ AA P'Tlorsi, 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 drake, Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all druggists and dealers. JOHN. I* .

MITCHELL & CO 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 weight. But this article brings Mr. 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. From Cincinnati. 1 * - Cincinnati, June o. —The Rabbinical I Council closes to-day. The meeting has been one of the most important yet held, and the results may be sumed up as follows; Twenty three congrega tions were represented; a union has I been effected; a modern prayer-book is to be furnished, in which all allusions to the return of the Jews to Jerusalem and a personal Messiah are to be omit ted ; the service is to be largely on the Vernacular instead of the Hebrew lan guage; a llibbaioical Seminary for min istffrs is to be established; reforms in congregations are authorized; Sal bath School organizations are to be ef fected, and the establishment of circuit preachers has been determined rUorrcs;x>n<U'i*c* of the X. Y. Evening Ail liuoriitouN Pigeon Uoo*t. 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. b&T' When is a mother a father?- When she’s a sigher. S. 11. Smith fy Cos., Proprietors. 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.
