CONSUMPTION, Its Cure anil Its Preventive BY J, H. SCHENCK, M. D lA/fANY a human being has passed away, 'it 1 for whose death there was no other reason than the neglect of knofru and indisputably proven means pf 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 SI3IFLE TREATMENT. and availed themselves of his wonderful effica cious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. Schenck has m his ewu case proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains, that Vital ity, by bis medicines and his directions lor 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 Ilr. Schenck’s medicines is as simple as it is unfailing. Its philosophr x-equires 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 consumption originate in dvspepsia and a functionally disordered livei. With tills condition the bronchial tubes “ sympathize” with the stomach. They respond to the morbific action of the liver. Here then comes the cul minating result, aud the setting in, with all its distressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION. The Mandrake Pills are esmposed of one of Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podophillnni 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 tlfe bowels and in the alimentary canal are ejected. The liver, like a clock, is wound up. It amuses 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 and assimilates with the food. Chylineation 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 ofthe stomach An appetite sets in. Now comes the groatest Blood Purifier ever yet given by an indulgent father to suffering man. Schenefs Pulmonic Syrup comes in to perform its functions and to hasten and com nlete the cure. It enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot he cheated. It collects and ripens tHe impaired portions of the lungs. Jn 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 patie-nts must stav 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 lu 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 v et 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 lias a great dual 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 owir cure was in t-hese modest words : Many years ago I was in the last stages of consumptiop ; _ 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 straws, I heard of and obtained the pre parations which I now offer to the fmlilic. and they made a perfect cure of in -a. 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 morniug for a long time. As soon as that began to subside my cough, fevep.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 gaiued my strength, and have grown in flesh over since.” ‘‘l 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 hundred and tweutv-five pounds, and for years I have “ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.” Dr. Schenck has discontinued Ins professional visit to New York and Boston. H 7 or his "son, Dr. J 11. Schenck, Jr., still continue to see patients at (heir ftllice, No. 15 North Sixth street, Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. m., to 3 p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination With the Respire meter will be charged five dollars. The Kespiremeter 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 t-o the intelligence even of a child Follow these direetons, 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 dc accompany them. First create appetite. Os returning health hunger is the nxi-st welcome , symptom. When 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. Dr. Schenck’s medicines arc constantly kept in tens.of thousands of families. Asa laxui ive, or purgative, tho Mandrake Pills are a standard preparation; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a eurer of coughs and (’('lds, may he regarded as i. prophylaeteric against consumption in any of its forms. _ s Price of the- Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, or $7,50 a half dozen.

W. L. GOODWIN, Claim Agent. Cartersville, June 22, *B7l. Death ol C. L. VaUandighaui. As soon as the news went abroad in the village tbednbabitants began to as semble about fne Jjebanon House and anxiously inquirer tlie news from fatal Room No. 15. All night long and during the weary hours of the morn ing the crowd remained in and about the hotel, and even after the sad an nouncement (at ten o’clock this morn ing.) that the wounded statesman had ceased to breathe, they lingered and talked in whimpers of the tragedy, and dwelt with sorrpwful interest upon ev ery Jut ail of the terrible affair. It is indeed surprising how popular Mr. Yallandigham had become in the vil lage.** 1 Coming here as he did, with his anti-war odium upon him, and in the capacity of chief attorney for one whom the majority of the people be lieved to be a desparate and depraved murderer, Mr. Yallandigham was not received with cordial favor, or welcom ed as a guest who would do the town honor or reflect credit upon the com munity. Before, however, the first week or the protracted trial had pass ed, the ability and professional courte sy of the lawyer had won the respect of court and bar, and the gentlemanly suavity and excellent social qualities of the man had secured the kindly re gard of all the citizens with whom he came in contact. Believing firmly in the innocence of his dient, McGehan, he had entered into his defense with all the ardor of his nature, and fought his accusers'step by step until the close of the evidence in the trial, and never, until the fatal ball penetrated his vitals, did he for a moment allow his interest to slack, his watchfulness to flag, or his enthusiasm to cool. During the delivery of Mr. Follett’s opening argument yesterday, Mr. Yal landigham was busily engaged in watching the case, taking notes, and in the intervals preparing the great argu ment that he firmly believed would be one of the greatest efforts of his life, and one that would not only add to his fame as a great criminal lawyer, but result in the refutation of the the ory of the State, and the triumphant acquital of his client. Mr. Vallandig ham may have been too sanguine in this, but that he did entertain such opinions is abundantly evident from what he said to Mr. Williamson and other friends a few hours before the fa tal shot was fired. Mr. Williamson occupied the next seat on Mr. Yallan digham’s right at the supper table last evening, and was engaged in animated conversation with him on the subject of the prospects of the case, the theo ries of the prosecution and defense, etc. He seemed to be in the best of spirits anti perfectly sanguine of victory. Up on* Mr. Williamson’s stating that he intended to go to his home at Love land that night, Sir. Vallandigham urged him to stay until the end of the trial, and especially until after tho de livery of his (Vallandigham’s) argu ment. During doe afternoon and eve ning he had repeated this invitation to a number of acquaintances, ladies and gentlemen of the town. His unusually good spirits and light heartedness were noticed by many of his acquaintances. With a view to de taining Mr. Williamson until Satur day, he gave alialf promise to accom pany that gentleman to his home in Loveland and spend the Sabbath.— “Frank Cozard,” said he “insists upon my going with him, and I have partly promised to do so, but my inclination now is to go to Loveland, and spend the Sabbath in visits to my good friends Bloss, Powell and Tom Faxon.” ‘But.,’ added he, “you remain and hear my argument, anyhow, and we’ll settle the matter before it is time for you to start for home to-morrow night.” He continued to exhibit evidences of good spirits and sanguine hope up to within a short time before the trag edy, when the receipt of a letter from his wife, stating that she had been sum moned to the death-bed of her broth er, Hon. Juo. McMahon, at Cumber land, Maryland, somewhat saddened him. Alas, how little did he, while mourn ing his brother-in-law’s death, think that that same faithful sister and loving wife would within a few brief hours be notified of the still greater bereave ment of her husb. nd’s death ! Indeed, the heart-crushing agony that this del icate and affectionate woman is called upon to suffer is one of the most pain ful and touching of the features of this remarkable tragedy. She is described to me by those who kn ew her well, as an exception ably af fectionate and tender-hearted lady and a wife, so solicitous of her husband’s welfare that his slightest illness or troubles of any kind rendered her miserable. During the trying period of his trial and banishment in 18(53, she was almost distracted, anil the ef fect of her continued anxiety left its indellible impression upon her physi cal health. It is the opinion of those who are acquainted with her peculiar temperament that the nows of her husband’s sudden death will prove a death blow. The telegraph has informed us since that she became distracted upon the receipt of the terrible tidings, and that in this condition started, under the care of friends, for her desolated home in Dayton. What a picture of agony it is 1 A tender, fragile, loving woman standing by the coffin by a beloved brother, receiving the tidings of the tragic death of her husband, whom but a few days before she had left in the full vigor of robust health. Cun any in the annals of human suffi riug rival the touching spectacle! From your reporter in attendance at the McGehan trial, who was in Mr. YaUandiffham’s room almost continu ally from tho time of the jjhootiug un til the death struggle, I haw obtained the following di tailed aycuuat of the tragedy: % BEFORE IT IIAIAENKD. After taking supper, ho procured from the landlord of the hotel a bit of white, muslin cloth, perhaps a foot square, for the purpose of testing to his own satisfaction as to whether a shot fired form a pistol in close prox imity to it. would or would not leave a m rk of powder upon it. Having pro vided himself with this, and put it in his pocket, he and Mr. MHiken and Mr. Hume WeUt'out together on the south edge of town, beyond the residence of Gov. Mcßurney, and the trio become a quartette. TIIE PISTOL which he took with him for this pur pose is anew revolver which he had purchased only a few days before com ing to Lebanon. It is one of'Smith A Wesson’s manufacture, with a four inch barrel, aud five chambers, and carries a ball of 32-100 of an inch cali ber. It is a beautiful weapon, haud soinely, though not elaborately orna mented, and its owner little thought, when so recently purchasing it, that it would so soon be the instrument of his untimely death. HOW THE ACCIDENT CAME ABOUT. Two shots were fired into the cloth, and all were satisfied with the result of the experiment, and started back to the hotel. Mr. Milliken, ever cautious and theughtful, said: ‘Yah, there are thr e shots in your pistol yet. You had better discharge them.’ ‘What for ? responded Mr. Valland igham. “To prevent any accident,” replied the cautious attorney. “You might shoot yourself.” “No danger of that,” replied Mr. Vallandingham, “I have carried and practiced with pistols too long to be afraid to have a loaded one in my pocket.” “You had better be careful, though,” said Mr. Milliken. “Never fear me,” was the reply. They then slowly walked back to ward the hotel, and, before they had reached the hotel, separated. Arriving at the Lebanon House alone, Mr. Vallandigham was stopped on his way up stairs by the landlord, and a package that had been left for him in his absence passed in his hands. That parcel contained another revolver —a weapon that had been exhibited at the trial in court, and was not only unloaded, but had had the chambers removed. Proceeding to his room, he unwrapped the parcel, and at the same time taking his own weapon from his pocket, laid tho two murderous instru ments on the table, side by side. A moment later, Mr. Scott. Symmes, a young lawyer who had been connect ed with the prosecution of the case, passed the door. “Symmes,” said he, “Follett is mis taken. A man could easily shoot him self as Meyers was shot. Come in and I will show you how it’s done.” Thus iuvited, Symmes entered the room, but a moment later, seeing Judge Pope coming up stairs, excused him self on the ground that he was going to Hamilton in the morning, and wish ed to see the Judge before ho left.— He passed out, and a moment or so af terward Mr Mcßurney came into the room. Mr. Vallandigham, still stand ing by the table on which the pistols lay, said: “I’ll show you how Tom Myers shot himself, Follett’s mistaken when he says it can’t be done.” Saying this, he took up one of the murderous instru ments in his hand, put it into his pant aloons pocket, and, slowly drawing it out again, cocking it as he drew it forth, he attempted to place it in the exact position which he believed My ers’ weapon to have assumed at the moment the fatal bullet was sped on its mission of death. Tho muzzle of the weapon still within the lappel of the pocket, he brought it to an angle of about forty-five degrees. “There, that’s the way Myers held it, only lie getting up, not* standing erect.” Saying this, he touched the trig ger. A sudden flash—the kulf-suppressed sound of a shot—and Clement L.. Yal landigham, with an expression of ago ny, exclaimed, “My God, I’ve shot my self,” and reeled toward the wall a wounded and dying man —wounded and dying by his own hands. AFTERWARD. This happened at tho hour of nine o’clock, or perhaps five or ten minutes earlier. In a second of time Mr. Mc- Burney, terrified at the occurrence, rushed out of the room and along the hall to tLe appartrneut where the jury was quartered. Rapping at the door, he demanded that someone should come into Mr. Vallandigliam’s room, as he had shot himself. Mr. Tischnor, the constable, having them in charge, w'as momentarily absent, but several of the ji ri rs hurried into the room.— Meantime Mr. J. C. Babbitt, whose room (No. 17) was only next door, had heard tie sound, and, suspecting its cause, also came in. He arrived first, and found Mr. Vallandigham alone, leaning against the wall. He asked what had happened. “I have foolishly sLot myself,” said S. J /. Smith S' Cos., Pf'Opriftoi's. the wounded man, ns he sank into a chair. ‘'What folly it w;us to try such an experiment. By mistake I took up the wrong pistol.” Tur pistol had dropped from his baud at the moment lm fired, and was still lying on the floor. The other one, empty and harm lees*, lay on tho table. A moment, later, three or four jurors came in with Mr. Mcßurney, and found Mr. Yallandigham, with clothes open ed, fooling along his abdomen hi search of the bullet. He remained thus em ployed and explaining tho mistake be had in axle for several minutes, when, growing faint, he was laid on the tied. lu the meantime messengers had been dispatched for plnsieians, and the intelligence got out into town; and in stantly the streets were alive with per sons hurrying to tho hotel to ask Rio truth of tin? story they bail heard. The halls were crowded, mid the anxious—almost terror-stricken— faces of the persons inquiring after the nature of the wound aud the condition of tho wounded man, made it apparent to the most casual observer that an occurrence of no ordinary had just taken place. Tne three reporters who wore at tending tho trial for tho Cincinnati morning papers were immediately on tho scene, and upon learning tlie na ture of the occurrence sped tho news on the lightning’s wings to the jour nals they represented. An hour later the news of that occurrence was being heralded under the waves of the broad Atlantic to the people of the Old World. There was somo difficulty in finding a physician. Three, five, ten* minutes* elapsed after the departure of the mes sengers before a medical man appear ed. This, too, at a time of suspense— a time when minutes became hours in their duration; an occasion wheu timo wus measured by tho heart’s milsations of a wounded man. At length, bowov er, Dr. Scoville arrived, and following close after him came Dr. Drake. An examination of the wound and harried consultation followed, and the pros trate man was informed that his inju ries were of the most serious character, though they hoped that they might not prove fatal “Has the ball been reached,” said he to the physicians., “No, it has not,” was the answer. “Has it entered a vital part ?” “We cannot tell.” Closing his mouth with that firmness of purpose which so characterized him in everything, ho expressed a wiau that they would ascertain aud tell him the worst feature that the case might pre sent. By tho time the second quarter af ter nine had struck, the crowd of per sons to the room of the wouuded man was so great that guards had to be placed at the foot of tut, stairs below to refuse admittance to all but intimate personal friends. Mr. Vallnndigbuui’d condition was fast becoming worse, and the medical men were unable to reach the ball with any of their surgr cal appliances. The family physician, Dr. J. C. Reeves, of Dayton, was tele graphed to come at once to his bed side, while Dr. W. W. Dawson, of Cin cinnati, had a similar summons sent to him. The son, the law partner, ami several of the immediate fri mbs of Mr. V llandigham, were advised of his con dition, and urged to come at once.— His wife, who only a few hours before had started to Baltimore to be present at the burial of her brother, was tele graphed to, although his exact cond - tion was concealed from ber. Her© was a case of life or death trembling in tho ballance, and science seemed to be powerless. The patient at this time asked Mr. M. S. Williamson to reinaift with him and assist in moving him in his bed. Others, too, who were associated with him in his professional relations, were requested to stay by his side aud help to alleviate his suffering. At ten o’clock a telegram came that Dr. Reeves had started with the son of the wounded man, and that they would arrive by midnight. During the next hour the symptoms did not appear to change very materially.— Frequent examfnations are made by the phybici ms, the wound is probed, the pulse is observed, the respiration taken, and finally the wounded man is informed that he is in* a very criticaf condition, and that if he has anything to say, or any arrangements to n ake, he had better lose no time.* ‘ Only rid me of this pain in the stomach, and I’ll be all right again,” is the rejoinder. Tlie struggle of life with death has begun. The might of man begins to combat with that of the destroyer of man. From 11 to 12 o’clock frequent vom itings* ensue and an increase of pain.— Narcotics, which have been adminis tered sparingly hitherto, are now doubled in their doses, and a sort of lethargy ensues. The hour of mid night finds the wounded man compar atively easy, but With accelerated pulse aud frequent aud short breathings— Soon after this he is moved to bis right side, and a hemorrhage of blood follows— hemorrhage which results iu the loss of a half pint of blood, auctre veals the terrible nature of the wound. A little past one Dr. Reeves arrives, accompanied by the son of the. unfor tunate man. The family jihysician en ters, and with a practised eye. famil iar with his patient, a conclusion is soon arrived at—ihe wounded man must die. Mr. Yttllandingham knew him an 1 greeted him cheerily. “Doctor, is my wound as bad a&, NUMBER 1
