CONSUMPTION,
Its Cure ami Its Preventive
BY J. H. SCHENCK, M. D
MANY a human being has passed away,
for whose death there was no other reason
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. Schenck has in his own case proved that
wherever sufficient vitnlity remains, that vital
ity, by his medicines and his directions for
their use, is quickened into healthful vigor.
In this stateiTK ..ft 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. Sohenck’s medicines
is as simple as it is unfailing. Its philosophv
requires no argument. It is self-assnring, 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 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
Natures noblest gifts-rtlie Podophillnm Pelta
alterative properties of cJ. j jooand -searchiug,
But unlike calomel, they
“LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,”
The work of cure «is now beginning. The
vitiated and mucous deposits in t Turbo wels 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 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. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup comes in to
perform its functions and to hasten and com
plete the cure. It enters at once upon its work.
Nature cannot be 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 aud 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 almosi
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 ceuntry in
the winter seasou, are all wrong. Physicians
who recomtnend that course lose patients, if
their lungs are badly diseased, and yet because
they aye 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 bed, and at one
time my physicians thought that I conld 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 apj>etite 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 flesh ever since.’’
“I was weighed shortly after my recovery,”
added the Doctor, “then looking like a mere
skeleton; my weight was onlj" ninety-seven
pounds ; niy present weight is two hundred and
twenty-five pounds, and for years 1 have
“ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston, lie or his son,
Dr. J 11. Schenck, Jr., still continue to see
patients at their office, N'o. 15 North Sixth street.
Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. rn., to 3
p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination
with the Respirometer will he charged live
dollars. The Respirometer declares the exact
condition of the lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether they are curable or not.
The directions for taking the medicine arc
adapted to the intelligence even of a child
Follow these direetons, and kind nature will do
the resfc, 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
the despairing he of good cheer. Good blood at
once follows, the cough loosens, the night sweat
is abated. In a short time both of these morbid
svmptoms 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
curer of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a
nrophylacteric 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
- Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all
druggists and dealers.

I wants a piece of calico
To make my doll a dress;
I doesn’t want a big piece,

I wish you’d fred my needle,
And find ray firnble too —
I Las such heaps a sowin’
I don’t know what to do.
My Hepsev tored her apurn
A tum’lin down the stair,
And Csesar’s lost his pantaloons
And needs anozzer pair.
I wants my Maud a bonnet,
She hasn’t none at all,
And Fred must have a jacket,
His ozzer one’s too small.
I wants to go to grandma’s,
You promised me I might;
I know she’d like to see mo—
I wants to go to-night.
She lets me wash the dishes,
And see in grandpa’s watch—
Wish I’d free, four pennies
To buy some butter-scotch.
I wants some newer mittens—
I wish you’d knit me some,
’Cause most my finger freezes,
They leak so in the sum.
I woro’d out last summer,
A pullin’ George’s sled;
I wish you wouldn’t laugh so—
It hurts me in my head.
I wish I had a cookie—
I’m hungry as I can be;
If you hasn’t pretty large ones
You’d better bring me free.
ADDKEBS
To the People of the Enitcd
States by the Democrats in Con
gress,
The Democrats in Congress have
just issued the following address.
To the People of the Untied States:
Our presence and official duties at.
o nnn VO- j ~~ • - »
fully acquainted with the actions and
designes of those who control the Rad
ical party, and we feel called upon to
utter a few words of warning against
the alarming strides they have made
towards centralization of power in the
hands of Congress and the Executive.
The time and attention of the Radical
leaders have been almost wholly di
rected to devising such legislation as
will, in their view, best perserve their
ascendency, and no regard for the wise
restraints imposed by the Constitution
has checked their reckless and despa
rate career. The President of the
United States has been formally an
nounced as a candidate for re-election.
The declaration of his selfish support
ers have been re-echoed by a subsid
ized press, and the discipline of party
has already made adhesion to his per
sonal fortunes the supreme test of po
litical fealty. The partisan legislation
to which we refer was decreed and
shaped in secret caucus, where the ex
tremest counsels always predominated,
and was adopted by a subservient ma
jority, if not with the intent, certainly
with the effect, to place in the hands
of the President power to command his
own renomination, and to employ the
army, navy and militia, at his sole dis
cretion, as a means of subserving his
personal ambition. When the sad ex
perience of the last two years, so dis
appointing to the hopes and generous
confidence of the country, is consider
ed in connection with the violent ut
terances and rash purposes of those
who control the Presidents policy, it is
not surprising that the gravest appre
hension for the future peace of the na
tion should be entertained. At a time
when labor is depressed, and every
meterial interest is palsied by oppres
sive taxation, the public officers have
been multiplied beyond all precedent
to serve as instruments in the perpetu
ation of power.
Partisanship is the only test applied
to the distribution of this vast patron
age. Honesty, fitness and moral worth
are openly discarded in favor of truck
ling submission and dishonorable com
pliance. Hence enormous defalcations
and widespread corruption have fol
lowed as tho natural consequences of
this pernicious system.
By the official report of the Secre
tary of the Treasury it appears that,
after the deduction of all proper cred
its many millious of dollars remain due
from ex-collectors of the internal reve
nue, and that uo proper diligence has
ever been used to collect them. Re
lorrnsin the revenue and fiscal systems,
which all experience demonstrates 10
be necessary to a frugal administration
of the Government, as Well as a meas
ure of relief to an overburdened peo
ple, have been pei*sisteuly postponed
or wilfully neglected.
Congress now adjourns w ithout
ing even attempted to reduce taxation
or to repeal the glaring impositions by
which industry is crushed and impov
erished. The Treasury is overflowing
and an excess of eighty millious of rev
enue is admitted, and yet, instead of
some measure of present relief, a bar
ren and delusive resolution is passed
by the Senate to consider the tariff and
excise s stems hereafter, as if the his
tory of broken pledges and pretended
remedies furnished any better assur
ance for future legislation thau expe
rience has done in the past. Ship
building and the carrying trado, once
sources of national pride and prosper
ity, now languish under a crushing
load of taxation, and nearly every oth
er business interest is struggling, with
out profit, to maintain itself. Our ag
riculturists, while paying heavy taxes
on all they consume, either to the Gov
ernment or to the monopolists, find tbe
prices for their own products so re
duced that honest labor is denied its
just reward and industry is prostratec
by invidious discrimination. Nearly
200,000,000 acres of public lands,
which should have been reserved for
the benefit of the people, have been
voted away to giant corporations, neg
lecting our soldiers, enriching a hand
ful of greedy speculators and lobbyists,
who are thereby enabled to exercise a
mo6t dangerous and corrupting influ
ence over State and Federal legisla
tion. If the career of these conspira
tors be not checked, the downfall of
free government is inevitable, and with
it the elevation of a military dictator
pn the ruins of the Republic,
Under the pretense o f passing
laws t o enforce the fourteenth
amendment, and for other purposes,
Congress has conferred the most des
potic power upon the Executive, and
provided an official machinery by which
the liberties of the people are menaced,
and the sacred rights of local sclf-gov
eminent overthrown. Moddelled up
to the sedition laws, so odious in his
tory, they are at variance with all the
sanctified theories of our institutions,
and the construction given by these
Radical interpreters to the fourteenth
amendment is, to use the language of
an eminent Senator —Mr. Trumbull, of
Illinois—an ‘annihilation of the States.’
Under the last enforcement bill, “the
Executive may, in his discretion, thrust
aside the government of any State,
suspend the writ of habeas corpus ,” ar
rest its Governor, imprison or disperse
the Legislature, silence its Judges, and
trample down its people under the
armed heel of his troops. Nothing is
left to the citizen or the State which
can any longer be called a right—all is
changed into mere sufferance.
Our hopes for redress are in the
calm, good sense, the “sober, second
selves and their prosterity, and, disre
garding party names and min*>r dif
ferences, to insist upon a decentraliza
tion of power and the restriction of
Federal authority within iis just and
proper limits, leaving to the States
that control over domestic affairs which
is essential t o their happiness and
tranquility and good government.
Everything that malicious ingenuity
could suggest has been done to irritate
the people of the Middle aud Southern
States. Gross and exaggerated charg
es of disorder and violence owe their
origin to the mischievous minds of the
potential managers in the Senate and
House of Represenatives, to which the
Executive has we regret to say, lent
his aid, and thus helped to inflame the
popular feeling. In all this hostile
legislation and ha r sh resentments no
word of conciliation, of kind encour
agement, or fraternal friendship, has
ever been spoken by the President or
by Congress to th e people of the South
ern States. They have been address
ed only in the language of proscription.
We earnestly entreat our fellow-citi
zens in all parts of the Union to spare
no effort to maintain peace and order,
to carefuily protect the rights of every
citizen, to preserve kindly relations
amoDg all men, nnd to discounten
ance and discourage any violation of
the rights of any portion of the people
secured under the Constitution or any
of its amendments.
Let us, in conclusion, earnestly beg of
you not to aid the present attempts of
the Radical partisans to stir up strife
in the land; to renew the issues of the
war, or to obstruct the return of peace
and prosperity to the Southern States,
because it is thus that they seek to di
vide the attention of the country from
the corruption and extravagance in
their administration of public affairs,
and the dangerous and profligate at
tempts they are making towards the
creation of a centralized military gov
ernment.
In the five years of peace following
the war, the Radical administration
have expended $1,200,000,000 for or
dinary purposes alone, being within
$200,000,000 for the aggregate amount
spent for the same purposes in war,
and in peace, during the seventy one
years proceeding June 30, 1861, not
including in either case the sum paid
upon principal or interest of the pub
lic debt.
- It is trifling with the intelligence of
the people for the Radical leaders to
pretend that this vast s\irn has been
honestly expended. Hundreds of mil
lions of it has been wantonly squan
dered. The expenditures of the Gov
ernment for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1861, were 0n1y.62,000,000 ;
wh.le, for pyesisely the ssege purposes
civil list, army, navy, pensions, and
Indians—sl64,ooo,ooo were expended
during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1871.
No indignation coukl be too stern,
and no scorn too seyero for the asser
-1 tions by unscrupulous Radical leaders
that the great Democratic party
cf the Uni >n has or can have sympa
thy with disorders or violence in any

“HYWEX ON TlJllu.”
Midnight Nuptial* on the Rail —
Time, Twenty-five Miles an
Hour.
A rather romantic episode occurred
on the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad train, due here at 5 o’clock
yesterday morning. When it arrived
at Decherd, at 12 o’clock Sunday night,
it was just in time, and consequently
Conductor Cox was in no humor for
delay. “All aboard,” he cried; clang,
clang, went the signal bell, and the
train had commenced to roll slowly
away, when a person on the platform
shouted, “Hold on, bold 1” The echo
had hardly died away before a young
fellow and a rattier pretty girl swoop
ed down upon the train, all out of
breath, clutched desperately at the
railings, and after some extraordinary
displays of agility, were finally helped
on by the accommodating conductor,
and assigned a seat in the ladies’ car,
which was, as usual at such an hour,
filled with sleepers stretched out or
luddled up in every imaginable posi
The young couple, therefore, while ex
ecuting flank movements around the
numerous brogans which protruded
gracefully into the passway, had at
tracted but little notice, except from
one or two who yawned in sympathy
with the opening of the door, peeping
lazily out of an eye for the moment
and taking a sleepy glance at the new
comers.
As was subsequently developed, the*
names of the couple were James
Woods and Maggie Birchenough.—
The conductor discovered on colW cting
their tickets that Woods, who had run
away with the girl was more than half
demoralized by the horrible fear that
she might yet be snatched from him
by her exasperated parents. After
narrating the. whole of the runaway,
he, however, calmed himself enough to
ask the advice of the conductor as to
what was best to be done. Every
second was precious and he wanted to
be tied to Maggie at once, if possible.
She was Birchenough, but he was a
whole Woods, himself—and that was
what was the matter. Fully equal to
the emergency, the conductor suggest
ed, “Why not. be married at once,
there are two clergymen on board the
train.” Woods took the hint with an
enthusiasm worthy of “love’s young
dream.” By the time the train arriv
ed at Tullahoma, at 12:45, everything
had been ready for the nuptials.—
When the train was checked at that
place, Rev. Mr. Sneed appeared before
the anxious couple and performed the
solemn rite, During the ceremony,
the heads of the somnolent travelers
popped up here and there, until the
whole car was aroused at the novel
spectacle; some whispered, some
snickered and laughed, while others
jumped up and went to see th§ practi
cal illustration of matrimony by steam.
It was an event that few are fortunate
on >ugh to witness—a marriage on a
railroad train. As soon as the two
had been pronounced man and wife,
Woods cried triumphantly, “Now
then!” Only that and nothing more.
But it meant a “heap.” They came
through to Nashville on the same
train, and wore congratulated by tbo
conductor, who, if he has not imitated
their example, is responsible for as
j many as thirteen couples made su
premely happy—or miserable, “as the
case may be be.”
, Ohio girls filled lighted
ktroseno lamps last week. It was the
non-explosive kind and both sleep in
the valley.
