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. JOHN F.

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.

[Signed by the Democratic members of Congress.] [From the Nashville Itanner. “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. ••• » When a pick-pocket pulls at your watch ttll him plainly that you have no time to spare. — At the weddings which take place in the Ritualist churches, the priests robes of s?itin, trimmed with lace, are usually more exjiensive than those of the bride.
