CONSUMPTION, Its Cure and Its Preventive BY J. H. 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 qf cure. Those near and dear to family and friends are sleeping the dreamless slumber into which, h id they calmly adopted DR, JOSEPH IT. 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 liis medicines and his directions for their use, is quickened into healthful vigor. In tliis 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. Sebenck’s medicines is as simple as it is unfailing. 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 citadel of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the cases of consumotion 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,” Tho work of cure is now beginning. Tho 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 beg : ns to led that be is getting, at last, A SUPPLY 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 be 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. Scbenek’s Pulmonic Syrup comes in to perform its functions and to hasten and com piete the cure, ft enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot be cheated. It collects and ripens the impaired portions of the lungs. In i the form of gatherings, it prepares them for 1 expectoration, and lo ! in a very short time the malady is vanquished, the rotten flu-one that it occupied is renovated and made new, and tire patient, in all the dignitv 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 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 hear, 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 X was in the last stages of consumption; routined 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 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 nrafter every morning for 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 was with difficulty that 1 could keep from eating too much. I soon gained my strength, and have grown in flesh ever since.” “I was weighed shortly after my recovery,” added the Doctor, “then looking‘l ike a mere skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven my present weight is two hundred and tAventy-flve 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. .T 11. Schenck. .Tr., 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 wiH be charged five dollars. The Respirome.ter declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are curable or not. Tho directions for taking the medicine are adapted to the intelligence even of a child Follow these dircctons, and kind nature will do the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man drake Pills are to be 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 tne 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. 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 curev 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 dozen. Man drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale bv all druggists and dealers. JOHN F.

Wo remember at the Wilderness a gallant young Mrisissippian had fallen, and at. night, and just bofore burying hint, there came a letter from her he loved best. One of the group around his body—a minister whose tenderness was womanly—broke tlio silent tear fulness with which he saw the dead letter; he took it and laid it upon the breasi of him whose heroic heart was still; “Bury it with him. Ho will see it when he wakes.” It was the subli mest sentence of his funeral service. Amid the clouds of battle smoke, Tlio sun haiUlrid away, And where the storm of battle broke, A thousand warriors lay. A band of friends upon the field, Stood round tlie youthful form, Who when the war-cloud thunder peal’d Had perish’d in the storm — Upon his forehead, on his hair, The coming moonlight breaks, And each dear brother standing there, A tender farewell takes. But ere thoy lay him in his home, There came a comrade near, And gave a token that had come, From her the dead held dear. A moment’s doubt upon thorn pressed, Then one the letter takes, And lays it low upon his breast, “He’ll see it when ho wakes.” Oh! thou who dost in sorrow wait, Whose heart with anguish breaks, Though thy dear message camo to late, “He’ll see it when he wakes!” Ne’er more amid the firory storm, Shall his strong arm bo seen; No more his young and manly form, Tread Mississippi’s green. Then e’en thy tendsr words of love— The word affection speaks— Camo ail too late; but oh ! thy love “Will see them when he wakes!” No jars disturb his gentle rest, No noise his slumber breaks, But thy words sleep upon his breast— “ He’ll see them when ho wakes.” THF HENS’ RIGHTS MEET ING. llow it Works In tlic Feathered World. We are indebted to the Richmond Enquirer for the following witty take off ou the woman suffrago movement. Whetl er the typical agitator portray ed is meant to be Mis. Woodhull or some of her less prominent sisters, wo leave the reader to judge: In a farm-yard in Virginia there liv ed a family of domestic fowls, consist ing of two cocks and about a dozen hens. The cocks were game and of the best breed, and were remarkable for their pluck and gallantry, as well as their devotion and attention to their wives. When food was thrown to them they never partook of it before calling up the Miens and seeing that they were served first, and whenever they chanced to find a savory bug, or to scratch up a delicate worm, they al ways denied themselves the luxury and invited tliS hens to enjoy it in prefer ence, thus showing that their chief gratification consisted in the comfort and happiness of their helpmates.— And the hens were not slow to avail themselves of the self-denial and po liteness of their husbands, but gobbled up grain, worms, and bugs without even saying “Thank you,” or “Won’t you join us V” They seemed to look up on these delicate attentions of their lords, and the appropriation of all the best things to themselves, as their nat ural and inherent right. On the other hand, tho hens were loving, gentle, and obedient, and at tended to their domestic duties nota bly-laying their eggs with regularity and dispatch, sitting on them careful ly and patiently, and raising their chickens in the most affectionate and devoted manner. Both men and wo men might, if their pride permitted, draw instructive lessons from the so cial life of this family of domestic fowls. The men might copy after the cocks in courage, self-denial, and those pleasing little attentions which are so much appreciated by their wives; and the woman might imitate the hens in their regularity, patience, dilligence, and industry; in their devotion to their children, and in their respect for, and submission to, their husbands. One day this family of fowls was vis ited by two strange hens from Massa chusetts. The'si rangers were tall, raw boned, long-legged, long-necked, and big-footed, and had coarse, harsh, voices. Without invitation or introduction, they strided in the barn-yard, and cir culated amongst the hens and convers ed with them in as free and easy a style as if they had known them all their lives. Indeed, one would have supposed that the barn-yard belonged to them. After a few remarks upon tbo late war and the scarcity of cocks, they requested the hens to separate themselves from the roosters, and to collect together in a corner of the yard, as they had matter of vast importance to communicate to them. Tho carios ity of the hens being thus excited, they filed off furtively to the appointed cor ner, aud formed a circle around their new acquaintances, and in a solemn and respectful silence listened to one of them who thus addressed them: “Ladies, I have called you together to address you on a subject of para mount importance, not only to your own comfort and happiness, but to the future success nud progress of your prosterity and of all civilized poultry. Yon are aware of the accepted idea that in the beginning of this world the male p' »rtiou of creation wero made first, and that the female was created as a sort of afterthought, or side issue, to relieve the male from the tedium of being alono, and to contribute to his comfort and pie sure. There is no no doubt that, acting upon this idea, the male has constituted himself lord of creation, and has set himself up as being the superior of the female, and, taking a mean advantage of his great er size and strength, has imposed up on the female all the cares aud drudg ery of this life. Especially is this the case with the feathered tribe, aud preeminently so with that portion of it that we represent. Upon the female por tion of our tribe havo been imposed all tho inconvenience aud labor of laying eggs and tho responsibility and trouble of raising chickens, whilo the male has nothing to do but strut about and ad mire himself, aud give an occasional scream when he sees a hawk hovering in the air, but taking good care to get out of the way wTien the hawk pounces down on our unprotected brood. He will fly upon the top of tlio fence and flap his wings and crow as if the world belonged to him, and look down with the utmost complacency upon us hens while wo are toiling to support our families. “Now this sort of thing has been go ing on for so long a time without the protest, and seemingly with the consent and approval of tho hens, that it has come to be regarded as the natural state of affairs, and I suppose it would have gone on forever if Plymouth Rock had never boen visited by our ances tors. You have all heard of tho mad stone, that wonderful mineral which, when applied to tho parts bitten by a mad-dog or a snake, will instantly ex tract tho venom, and save the life of the sufferer. Well, Plymouth Rock is the great moral mad-stone, which, when applied to tho moral sores and bites that afflict the world, will produce an instant cure. My maternal ances tor, Biddy Hardshell, came over in the Mayflower, and w T as the first of the poultry tribe that ever set foot upon Plymouth Rock, and the first hen that ever laid an egg in America. When Biddy Hardshell gave her first cackle upon that classic spot, thore was utter ed the warning note of disenthrallment of the gontlo sex. “Since then the female at the North has been at work, and its activity is immense, far beyond anything that your luxurious daughters of the sunny South could ever imagine. Ideas dis tilled through the alembic of our minds are crystalized into gems of thought that are destined to dazzle the world. You will not therefore be surprised when I tell you that we have discover ed that tho laws and customs by which our social, domestic,'and political life have heretofore been governed, are un natural, unjust, and degrading to tho female sex. “To a hen of an inquiring mind the question naturally arises, Why are things as the are ? For example, why is it that hens lay eggs, and roosters do not ? Why is it that a hen is sub jected to the inconvenience of incuba tion, sitting like a fool, staring at va cancy for throe mortal weeks, in a very confined and cramped position, in order that a dozen or more hungry chickens may bo brought into the world, whilo her self-stlved lord, who has been the cause of all the mischief, struts about and amuses himself pay ing gallant attentions to other deluded females ? Again, why is it that roos ters crow and hens only cackle ? The first question is rather hard to answer, and I am afraid that in your present uneducated state it would be difficult of satisfactory explanation, but the sec ond question has been very clearly an swered by Professor Greely in a small essay entitled ‘What I Know About Crowing,” in which it is staled that when the first rooster crowed the hen immediately clapped her wings and crowed also; whereupon the rooster, indignant at being imitated, and no doubt fearful of being excelled, imme diately pounced upon her, and gave her such a wring of the neck as to cause a stricture of the larynx, from which she never recovered; so that af terwards, whenever she attempted to crow, the sound degenerated into a contemptible cackle, and that all her descendants were afflicted in the same way, and consequently could never crow. Tho learned Professor has, moreo ver shown that the stricture was acci dental and not natural; ky proper culture it could be entirely re moved, and hens could regain their lost powers of voice, and soon learn to crow as well as the roosters, of which I will give abundant evidence by and by. . “There are now at the North two schools of philosophy. One is called the Positive School, which looks to the culture and training of the males, so as to enable and induce them to per form all the functions and duties of the females. As far as the sitting, hatch ing, feeding and nursir.g of ibe chick ens are concerned, this, school is a de cided success, and the day is not far distant when these labors will be per formed almost entirely by the roosters, and then we poor, down-lrodden fe males will have some time to look around and enjoy ourselves. But the S. 11. Smith <f Cos., Proprietors. grand object of this school is to nmko the roosters lay eggs, and here, I re gret to say, that our success has not been quite so decided. Our plan is to surround the pupil,‘and hen-]xs»k him to such a degree as to deprive him of all his tail feathers and a larger por tion of hi3 comb, and then to feed him liberally on parched corn and pulveriz ed oyster shells and drive him briskly up hill. The result, as I have inform ed you, has not been entirely satisfac tory; but Mrs. Dr. Cackle, of Boston, the eminent hen chemist, after a pro found study of the subject, has sug gested the addition to the diet of a proper projxirtion of sulphur and gly cerine, and predicts that our success will then be assured. This school looks also to the cultivation of the female voice up to the strength and coarse ness of the males. Crowing schools have been established all ever New England, and now it is a common thing there for liens to crow as fiercely and as lustily as roosters. “Tho other school is called the Neg ative School, or tho Society for the Suppression of Eggs, and hero also we have met with tho most marked suc cess; so much so that the production of eggs by tho native New England hens Ims been reduced from what it was formerly in the ratio of eight to three; that is to say that where an un cultivated hen in old times used to lay eight eggs, a well educated hen of tho present day only lays throe, and she doesn’t lay them unless she chooses.—- Ladies, that is what I call the march intellect It is Plymouth Rock suck ing the poison from the great social snake-bite. If we go on improving at that rate we shall soon stop laying al together, and thon the roosters will have to tako up or depend upon tho Brama Pootras, Cochin Chinas, Shang hais, and other foreign breeds to keep up the stock. “Aud now, ladies, allow me to give you your first lesson in crowing.— Stand up straight and turn your toea out, heads up, and necks out to their full extent—now all clap jour wings as I do.” And there arose such an un earthly and unhenly screech and yell that the rooster, who was behind the barn and wondering what had become of the bens, rushed frantically to the spot, aud there ho beheld the long-leg ged intruders clapping their wings and crowing at the top of their bents. He made one spring at the orator of the day, caught her by the comb, and dug his spurs into her sides, pitched her over and tousled her to such a degree, that she hardly had enough feathers left to cover her nakedness. As soon as she could recover her breath and her tongue she cried out, “Hold ! hold! Mr. Rooster, arn’t you ashamed of yourself to beat a lady in this way ? I thought you Southern cocks were fa mous for your gallantry and attention to the fair sex, and here you are beat ing a lady almost to death.” “Lady, indeed!” cried the rooster, “didn’t I hear you crowing ? H>w was Ito know you that wero a lady ? lam sure you don’t look like one, you look to mo more like a capon; now get you gone, and if I ever catch any more of you long, yellow-logged Boston shemales Coming down here preaching hens’ rights and setting up crowing schools I’ll beat you within an inch of your lives; clear out! ’ Tho long-legged descendant of tho illustrious Biddy Hardshell, of Ply mouth Rock, aud her companion thou scampered off, screaming at tho top of their voices “Ku-klux ! Ku-klux 11 tvu klux, Klux, Klux, Klux! !1” A Sad Accident in North t'uroli- Roaring Gap, Wilkes County, N. C. t June 10.—A sad accident occurred in this county recently, which resulted in the death of an estimable young lady, and dangerous injuries to her husband. About nine miles from this village, near the foot of tho Blue Ridge, rises an abrupt peak, known as Rock Moun tain, the sides of which are very preci pitous, but with a narrow plateau on its summit, which is a favorite resort during the summer months for the cit-, izens and strangers sojourning in the neighborhood. Recently a young man named Atkins, a native of this county, but lately married, paid a visit to the peak, accompanied by his wife and sev eral friends. After spending several hours on the summit, the party were returning home, the newly married pair holding each other by the hand, when the husband lost his foothold and began sliding down a steep decliv ity, toward a precipice, dragging his wife after him. They both cried for assistance, but before their astonished companions could tender their aid the unfortunate pair were precipitated to the valley beneath, a distance of six hundred feet. 'When found, the body of Mrs. Atkins was dreadfully mangled, but strange to to say, Mr. Atkins is still alive, and hopes are entertained of bis recovery. %The grave of Thadeus Stevens is unmarked, and so densely was it covered with rank grass on Decoration Day, that those who came to place flowers upon it with difficulty could ascertain the locality. The remains of Biehop-GeneraJ Polk are to be removed from the church-yard of St. Paul’s, in Augusta, Ga., where they now lay unmarked, to Louisiana, where a monument will bo erected over them, NUMBER I
