CONSUMPTION,
Its Cure and Its Preventive
BY J. H, SOHENCK, 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. 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. Schenck’s medicines
is as simple as it is ui 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 litadel
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 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 with the
Pills, permeates aud assimilates with the food.
Chylinoation is now nrogressing 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 Syrup conies in to
perform its functions and to hasten and com
nlete the cure. It enters at once upon its work.
Nature cannot fie 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, but it must be prevented or
a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and rldi ng
out, especially in this section of the eeuntrv in
the winter season, arc all wrong. Physiciaas
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 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 my tied, 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 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 cough,
fcvei, 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 my strength,
and have grown in llesli 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 vears I have
“ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH."
Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston. He or his son,
Dr. 3 H. Schenck, 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 Respirometer will be charged five
dollars. The Itespiromcter declares the exac t
condition of the lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether thev are curable or not.
Tho directions for taking the medicine are
adapted to the intelligence even of a chilfl
Follow these directons, 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. Wheu it comes, as 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.
'Dg. Schenck’s medicines are constantly kept
in tens of thousands of families. A's a 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
propliylacteric against consumption in any of
its forms.
Price of tlie Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed
Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, or $7.50 a half dozen. Man
- Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all
druggists and dealers.

LOUISA D. A. FELTON, Guardian.
One by One.
They are gathering homeward from every
land,
One by one,
As their weary feet touch the shining
strand,
One by one;
Their brows are inclosed in a golden crown,
Their travel-stained garments are all laid
down,
And, clothed with white raiments, they rest
on the mead,
Where the Lamb loveth His chosen to lead,
One by one.
Before they rest they passthrough the strife,
One by one;
Through the waters of death they enter life,
One by one ;
To some are the floods of the river still.
As they ford their way to the heavenly hill;
To others the waves run fiercely and wild,
Yet all reach the homo of the undefiled,
One by one.
We too shall come to the river’s side,
One by one;
We are nearer its waters each even-tide,
One by one;
We can hear the noise and the dash of the
stream,
Now and again, through our life’s deep
dream—
Sometimes the floods o’er the banks o’erflow,
Sometimes in ripples the small waves go,
One by one.
Jesus ! Redeemer ! we look to Thee,
One by one;
We lift up our voices tremblingly,
One by one;
The waves of the river are dark and cold,
We know not the spots where our feet may
hold,
Thou, who didst pass through in deep mid
night,
Strengthen us, send us the staff and the
light,
One by one.
Plant Thou Thy feet beside as we tread,
One by one;
On Thee let us lean each drooping head’
One by one;
Let but Thy mighty arm round us be twined,
We’ll cast all our fears and cares to the
wind;
Saviour! Redeemer! with Thee full in view,
Smilingly, gladsomely, shall we pass through,
One by one.
An Evening Thought.
The twilight falls, the night is near,
I fold my work away,
And kneel to one who bends to hear
The story of the day.
The old, old story; yet I kneel
To tell it at Thy call;
And the cares grow lighter as I feel
The Father knows them all.
Yes, all! the morning and the night,
The joy, the grief, the lose,
The roughened path, the sunbeam
bright,
The hourly thorn and cross.
Thou knowest all—l lean my head,
My weary eyelids close;
Content and glad awhile to tread
This path the Father knows.
And he has loved me! All my heart
With answering love is stirred;
And every anguished pain and smart
Finds healing in His word.
So here I lay me down to rest,
And nightly shadows fall,
lean confiding on His breast
Who knows and pities all.
A Fish Story.
Quite a novel mode of catching fish
was invented, or at lest practiced, by
a youth in Browstown, near the month
of the creek, one day last week. He
was, it seems, bathing, when he per
ceived in the water a little way beyond
him a fish of unusually large propor
tions, swimming along within a very
short distance of the bank, and rapid
ly approaching him. As he saw the
magnificent specimen of the sturgeon
species, the thought of securing it
without the usual implements flashed
across his mind, and he determined to
make one effort to secure the “mon
arch of the lake.”
As the fish approached the bank bn
which Clark, (the name of the bather,)
was standing, the latter prepared to
dive, and before the sturgeon was
quite opposite, the youth gave a leap,
a plunge, and dived beneath the wa
ter, and before the astonished sturgeon
could either escape or recover from
consternation caused by the sudden
disturbance of the waters, and the
subsequent demoralized condition oc
casioned by ret. son of this, he was a
prisoner in the arms of the youth, who
could with difficulty retain his hold on
his slippery customer. The struggles
of the now desperate sturgeon were
pertinacious, and nearly crowned with
victory, though as he was pushed and
driven toward the bank, where the wa
ter was quite shallow, they became al
most entirely ineffectual, and were
rendered completely so by a compan
ion of Clark’s who ran to his assist
ance. Their united efforts soon com
pleted the victory over his sturgeonship
and laid him panting on the bank, a
proof of the triumph of muscle. After
resting awhile from the fatigue caused
by the combat under the water, Clark,
aided by his friend, carried the stur
geon home, where it was weighed,
turning the scale at just seventy
pounds. Clark is only about fifteen
years of age. —Detroit Pont, May 30.

New York, on Saturday afternoon at
four o’clock, which had been previous
ly announced, and at which an im
mense concourse of people from all
parts of the country had assembled.
The ceremonies of the occasion were
grand, imposing and appropriate.—
The representatives of telegraphy from
every corner of the country in which
this grand stroke of genius has pene
trated, sought an opportunity to honor
the great father of this greatest of all
discoveries with their presence.
The ceremony of unveiling was per
formed by Governors Hcffman, of New
York, and Claflin of Massachusetts,
and Hon. William Orton, President of
the Western Union Telegraph. The
poet, Wm. Cullen Bryant, delivered the
invocatoin address, and the Rev. Ste
phen H. Tyng, D. D., the invocation
prayer.
A magnificent banquet was given in
the evening at the Academy of Music,
which was crowded to its utmost. A
grand event was being celebrated.—
The occasion was oue of profound in
terest to the people of the world, and
the grateful feelings of the universe
were uttered by the orators of the oc
casion, who had no light task in laying
at the feet of the world’s benefactor the
heartfelt gratitude of the intellectual
world.
At nine o’clock in tlie evening the
great controlling genius, Professor S.
F. B. Morse, with appropriate arrange
ment, transmitted his greeting to the
ends of creation as reached by tele
graphy, through a female operator,
Miss Marriott, as followa
“Greeting and thanks to the Tele
graph fraternity throughout the world.
Glory to God in the highest; on earth
peace, good will to men. (Signed)
S. F. B. Morse.”
Although the foregoing dispatch was
manipulated by the lady operator
as stated, Professor Morse signed his
own name, and thousands of operators
in America, Europe, Asia, Africa and,
indeed, in every corner of the universe,
as we have said, reached by the won
derful magnetic principle in this hu
manly modified form, were made to re
joice in this personal communication
with the parent of their art.
The ceremonies of the occasion were
concluded by Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er in a prayer and benediction.
Announcement.
On the 17th day of May last, Mr. J.
Henley Smith, of this city, a gentleman
well-known as a thorough newspaper
man, purchased an interest, and was
placed in charge of the entire manage
ment of The Sun. At that time it was
resolved to make it a first-class paper
in every respect; and since then nei
ther labor nor experience have been
spared to make it attractive and wor
thy of public favor.
What has already been done is only
a small beginning—a mere earnest of
what shall be done hereafter. Mr.
Smith’s excellent management thus
far shows that his reputation as a
journalist is well deserved. This en
tire control was trasferred to him with
full confidence in his industry and
ability to make The Sun such a paper
as the people deserve. Thus far he
has had, and hereafter shall have, mv
undivided support in its general busi
ness affairs.
And I am most happy further to
announce that Hon. Alexander H.
Stephens has purchased an interest in
The Sun, and from this day he is one
of its proprietors and editors.
The political department of the pa
per will hereafter be under the advise
ment, direction and general control of
Mr. Stephens. His well-known past
course in public affairs, marked at all
times by prudence, firmness and mod
eration in his devotion to the princi
ples of Constitutional Liberty, is a
sufficient guaranty as to the tone and
temper with which this department of
the paper will be conducted.
A leading feature in it will be the
inculcation of the doctrine that the
essential principles of public liberty
should never be forgotten, and that no
lessons intended to open up the way
to Centralism and Empire in this coun
try should ever be learned.
I t ke pleasure in saying further,
that The Sun is amply supplied with
money to carry out the programme
agreed upon, to make it a leading and
influential newspaper. The cash, rep
resenting a large capitol stock, is ail
paid up and now in bank.
The splendid basis upori which the
paper now stands, and its future pros
pects, are matters of just pride to me.

General Ilaueoek.
Asa goperal rule, soldiers should be
eschewed when we think of making
Presidents. In Grant and Sherman
and the “G. A. R.,” we have had sol
dier politics enough for one genera
tion. “ The shoemaker to his last,” is
a gtx>d maxim in President and Cab
inet making, as it is elsewhere. Wo
need statesmen to do statesmen’s
work. When the toga yields to the
sword, and force and slaughter are the
ultima ratio in the maintenance of a
principle, the soldier is needed. If
the exigency of the times should par
ticularly call for ft soldier who will
butcher his own troops faster than ho
does those of the enemy, then the
hour and t.he man have mot in Ulys
ses Grant. But there are times iu
which the soldier and the statesman
are found in one and the same man.
The first Napoleon was a wonderful in
stance in point. Alexander Hamilton
in the post, and Bismark in the pres
ent, are men who not only exhibited
military talents in the intervals of their
career as statesmen, but they have
caused the world to believe that they
had in them the stuff to make great
captains, had they turned their studies
to arms.
All things being equal, and the “ let
us have peace,” being settled as a real
ity, and not as a false light to lure the
country into a war in peace, we should
greately prefer a sound, upright and
incorruptible Democratic statesman as
our next candidate for the Presidency.
But we are not passing through a
stage of ordinary political experience.
The sword constantly flashes iu tire
eyes of men above the dust of the civil
political arena. There is a pervading
feeling that this instrument of Presi
dential arbitrament is already half
drawn, and that the Congress has en
couraged and empowered Ulysses to
draw it full length and naked from its
sheathe to settle the next Presidential
battle in the last resort. Iu other
words, that if the “Copperheads” ami
the “Rebel” —thereby meaning the
Democracy—should outvote mm at the
polls, he will discover a “military ne
cesity” to appeal to force to make him
self his own successor, aud thus eavo
to the country the inestimable fruits
of the late war. In such a case, it
would be uncomfortable to the De
mocracy were they to find themselves
with an elected President who was al
together a civilian. He might be so
very civil as to quail before the men
aces of force, and thus a military dic
tatar would have seized the Govern
ment by the right of might—and so a
long farwell to the Republic of the
fathers, and every vestige of free insti
tutions. Here would be a dilemma in
which the Democracy would have need
of a leader who was both soldier and
statesman. We know of but one such
man in the country who belongs to
that side of the Potomac from which
a candidate has to be taken.
We need not mention the name of
General W. S. Hancock for the render
will already have anticipated it. He
is the only soldier who graduated from
the war on the Federal side with true
and constitutional ideas of civil free
dom. Nor did he tarry in making
those ideas known and felt In the
height of the high tide of intense sec
tional bitterness, and in the seat of
Phil. Sheridan, as Military Governor
of Louisiana and Texas, he issued his
famous order, No. 40, and thereby iu
dellibly stamped his name as a states
man, a patriot, and a lover of civil lib
erty, on the history of his country.—
His letter to Gov. Pease, of Texas, in
reply to an appeal from that worthy,
to let loose his troops upon the con
quered people of Texas, soon followed
this order, and that is another State
paper that will live as a shining episode
on the record of the darkest and gloom
iest era this country had yet experi
enced. We have before us a private
letter from a distinguished New Jer
sey Democrat, who thus speaks of his
availability as a candidate :
“ He combines more of the element
necessary to success than auy man
that has been named. He affords a
locus penilentice for the disaffected Re
publicans. As against Grant, he will
carry off a large majority of the soldier
vote, while his nomination will be per
fectly satisfactory to the Democracy
of the North. Os no other candidate
can all these things bo said. In ad
dition, no civilian can be elected that
Grant, Morton & Cos. will not cheat
out of his election. With Hancock,
they would not dare make the attempt.
We must look to success, and personal
ambition mast give way to the exigen
cies of the hour. There is reason for
believing that Pennsylvania (his own
State,) Maine and Vermont will be
solid for him ; his chances are very
good in Missouri, and I do not despair
of reaching Ohio. Some of the lead
ing men of the latter State lean that
way.”
If there is a prospect for a struggle
after the Presidential votes are count
ed, Hancock is the man. It was his
corps in Virginia that Graut always
ordered to the front when hard work
was to be done ; and there was not a
soldier in Lee’s army who was not a
witness to his fighting qualities. But
this is not all; his Louisiana adminis
tration proved him a soldier of civil
freedom. He is a Democrat iu ibo
bargain, and on that score eminently
fitted for a Democratic nomination.
