SCHENCE, M. D M ANY 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 Pit. JOSEPH H. SCHEXCK’S SIMPLE TRCYTWLNT, and ax-ailed themselves of hi* wonderful effica cious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. Schcnck has in his oxvri case proved that Wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital ity, by his meilieines 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. Schcnck’s medicines is as simple as it is ui failing. It* idiilosophy requireSi.no argument. It is self-assuring, self convincing. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the first two xveapons with which the citadel of the malady is assailed. Two-third* of the cases of consumption originate in dyspepsia and a functionally disordered lix r ei. With this condition the bronchial tubes f ‘ sympathize” with the stomach. They respond to the morbific action of the liver. Here then comes the cul minating resiilt, and the setting in, with all its distressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION. The Mandrake Pills are esmposed of one of Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podopltilium Pelta tum. They possess all the blood-searcliiiig, alterative properties of calomel. But unlike calomel, they “LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,’’ The xvork of cure is now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposits in the boxvels and in the alimentary canal are ejected. The Liver, like a clock, is wound up. It arouses from its torpidity. The stomach acts responsive!v, and the patient begins to feel that he is getting, at 1 ast, A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD. The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the Pills, permeates and assimilates xvith the food. Chylincation Is noxv progressing without i(;s previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is seen to he at hand. There is'jio more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach An appetite sets in. Now conies the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet given hy an indulgent father to suffering man. Schonek’s Pulmonic Syrup, comes in to perform its functions and to hasten and com plete the care. It enters at once upon its xvork. 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 and made new, and the patient, in all the dignity of regained vigor, steps forth to enjoy the manhood or the woman hood that xvfts given up as lost. TRe second thing is. the patkmts must stny. in a warm room until thev get well ; it is y,l-Hlo*t ' impossible to prevent taking cold xvhon -the lungs are diseased, hut it must he prevented or j a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding, out, especially ih this syrtion of the ceuntrv,.in the xviutcr season, are all wrong. Physicians, xx'lto recamm,uiul that course lose patients, if their lungs are hadlv diseased, and vet because they are in the house they musts not sit down quiet ; they must walk about the room as much and as fast-as tiiejxtivugth xvill hear, to get up a good circulation of blood. The patients, must keep in good spirits—he detennined.to get well, j 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. Schonek’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 tny 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 oarations xvhich I now offer to the public, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrafe my whole system. They soon ripened the matter in my lungs, and l would spit up more than a pint of offensive yellow matter every morning for a long time. As soon as that began to subside rav cough, fevei, 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 nave grown in flesh over since.’’" “I was weighed shortly after mv recoverr,” added the Doctor, “then looking like a mere skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and twentv-five pounds, and for years [ have I “ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.” Dr. Selienck has diseontinued ins |>rofessj(>Bal visit to Neav A‘ork and Boston. He or liis son. Di\ J 11. .Schcnck. Jr., still continue to see patients at tlicir office. No. 13 North fti xtH street, Philadelphia, every Saturday Irani 9 a. m., to 8 p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination with the Respiremoter will be charged .five dollars. The Respiromoter declares the exact esmditinn of the lungs, and patients can readilv learn whether thev are curable or not. Tha directions for taking the medicine are adapted to the intelligence even of a child Follow these directons, and kind nature wilj do the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man drake Pills are to be taken in increased dose* ; 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 svinptosm. When it comes, as it will come, let die 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 tluuisauds «f families.

The WorlJ On Fire- A Maiiou of Hollars or 111 Sr* l He Ocean In names The At.lfgkd Veracious History of the ‘Man M ith a -Seoiikt'— Grego ry Summeri i ixii'fc Murder Attribu TED TO AN E.YrRAORm NARY CaPSE. Id the Sueraiuento Daihf Union of a recent date appears Lhe.extraoL'iliißn'v stateineiit of one Leoniaas FTh-kit, written before lii» death, and what purports to be the the accoynt of his connection with the murder of Gregory Sumiuer&ehl. The latter in dividual had been kuowu for many years as ‘The Man With a £tacret,’ and he met with a horrible death at the age of 70 years, by being pvished from the platform of a tiain upon the Uni on Pacific Hail road, near the North fork of the American river, at a place called Cape Horn, The iiuforttpiafo. wretch was hurled downward a dis tance of over 1,000 feet, uprfu the bristling rocks at the foot of the de clivity. Parker, wLio was upon the platiorm with Bummerfield at the time of the catastrophe, was twice ar rested and tried for*the alleged mur der, but was mysteriously’ acquitted, once by a justice and the second time by a grand jury. Parker was himself a distinguished lawyer of Sacramento, and was wide ly respected. He always remained silent concerning the circumstances of the imputed crime, but shortly before his death he placed in the hands of a friend a document, the gist of which we give below, the entire story taking up nearly a page of the Union. deferring to Gregory Bunimerfiold, the murdered man, Mr. Parker speaks of him as having been one of the deepest medical students of the age, a natural mathematician, a profound astronomer, and a man of excelfeut literary attainments. Parker has known Summevfield for over 20 years, their acquaintance having been formed in Texas during the days of the repub- lic. Continuing his account, Parker says: “One day towards the close of last September, an old man rapped at my office door, and on invitation came iu, and advancing, called me by name.— Perceiviug that I did not at first re cognize him, he introduced himself as Gregory Summerfield. After inviting him to a seat I scrutinized his features more closely, and quickly identified ■ him as the same person whofn I had met 22 years before. He was greatly altered in appParance, but there was the old charm of intellectual superiori ty in his conversation, and I welcomed him to California as an important ad dition to her mental wealth. ‘lt was not many minutes before he requested a private interview. He followed me into my back office, care fully closed the door after him aud locked it. We had scarcely seated ourselves before he inquired of me ‘if I had noticed any recent articles in the newspapers respecting the discove ry of the art of decomposing water so as to lit it for use as a fuel for ordina ry purposes ?’ ‘I replied tint I had observed noth ing new on that subject since the experiments of Agassiz and Professor Henry, and added that in my opinion Clia expensive mode of reducing would always prevent its use.’ In a few words he then informed me that he had unde the discovery, that the art was extremely simple, and the expense attending tine decomposition so slight as to be insignificant. Presuming that the object of his visit to me was to procure the necessa ry forms to get out a patent for the right, I congratulated him upon his good fortune, and was about to branch forth a description of some of the great benefits that must ensue*tQthe com munity, when he suddenly and some what uncivilly requested me to ‘be silent,’ aud listen to what lie bad. to say. He began with some general re marks about tbe inequality of fortune amongst mankind, and instanced him self as a striking example of tbe fate of those men who, according to ail tbe rules of right, ought to be near tbe top instead of at the foot of tbe bidder of fortune. ‘But,’ said be, springing to bis feet with impulsive energy,' 1 have now the means at my command of rising superior to fate,, or of inflict ing incalculable ills upon tbe whole human race. ‘Looking at him more closely, T thought I could detect in his eye the gleam of madness; but I remained si lent and awaited further developments. But my scrutiny, stolen as it was, had been detected, and he replied at once to the expression of iny lived: ''No, fill', I am neither drunk nor a maniac; I am in deep earnest iu all that I say;, and I am fully prepared, by actual, ex periment to demonstrate beyond ai! doubt, the truth of all I claim.’ ••For the first time I noticed that he carried a small portmanteau in his hand; this he placed upon the table, unlocked it, and took.out two or three small volumes, a pamphlet or two, a small square, wide-mouthed phial, f hermetiicaliy scaled. ‘X watched him w ith profouml cu»i "osity, tind took note of his slightest movements. Having arranged his books to suit, kirn, and placed the phl- K al in a conspicuous position; he drew up his chair closely to my own, and uttered, iu a half hissing tone: ‘I d< maud one trillion dollars for the contents of that bottle; and you must raise it for fne in the city of Sun Francisco within oust mouth, or scenes too terrible even fur the inuigiuaUoit to conceive, will surely be witnessed by .every living human being on the face of the globe/ The tone, the trmmW, and the alv surd extravagance of the demand, e« cited a faint smile tipoH my lips, winch, be eltscrved, and disdained to ijofiot'.' ‘My mind Was made up tlipt I bad a inaniac th deal with, amt I pre pared to act nccordih&lj. * Ihit Ifiscer taiued at once that mv inmost thoughts were read by the remarkable man U»f*«rc me, and seemed to t>e an ticipated by him m advance of their expre.isiou.’ ‘Perhaps,’ said I, ‘Mr. Summerfield, you’d oblige me bv informing me fully of the grounds of your claim and the nature of } 7 our discovery/ ‘That is the object of my visit,’ he replied, T claim to have discovered tlm key which unlocks the constituent gases of water, and frees each from tlie embrace of the bther, at a single touch/ •You mean to assert,’ I rejoined, ‘th;U you can make water burn itself up f ‘Nothing more nor less,’ he respond ed, ‘except, this—to irsist upon the consequences of the secret, if my de mand be not at once complied with.’ ‘Now suppose I fling,the contents of this small phial into the Pacific Ocean, .what would be the result ? Hare you contemplate it for a moment ? I do not assert that the entire surface of the sea would instantaneously babble up into insufferable flu mis; no, but from the nucleus of a circle, of which this phial would be the centre, lurid radii of flames Would 5 gradually s!t6ot outward, until the blazing circumfer ence would roll in vast billows of fire, upon the uttermost shores. Not all the dripping clouds of the elements could extinguish it. Not all the tears of saints and angels could for an in stant check its progress. Onward and ownward it would sweep, with tlie steady gait of destiny, until tlie ele ments would melt with fervent heat, the atmosphere glare w ith the ominous conflagration, and all living crciftures, in land, and sea, and air perish in one universal catastrophe/ ‘Then suddenly starting to his feet he drew himself to his full height, and mtirmured solemnly, ‘I feel like a God ! and recognize my fellowmen but as pigmies that I spurn beneath my feet.’ At this Parker states that he at tempted to reason with Summerfield upon the absurdity of believing that he held in his hands power sn mighty, at which the latter retorted with quo tations from the Scriptures, Hum boldt’s ‘cosmos,’ and the works of famous astronomical writers, proving that it was not only possible for entire planets to be destroyed by fire, but that such terrible events bad actually often occurred. This answer conclu ded, he handed Parker a small phiai, requesting him to open it aud smell of its contents, the result being that a strong odor of potassium was observed. At this Bummerfield continued; ‘Of course you are familiar with the chief characteristic of that substance. It ignites instantly when brought into contact with water. Within that little globule of potassium I have imbedded a pill of nay own composition and dis covery. The moment it is liberated from the potassium, itx’ommences the work of decomposing the fluid on which it floats. Tbe potassium at once ignites the liberated oxygon, and the conflagration, of this mighty globe is begun/ ‘Yes,’said I, ‘begun if you please, but your little pill soon evaporates ox si nks or melts in the surrounding seas, and your coflagration ends just where it begun/ ‘But, sneered he, the elementary substances in that small phial recreate themselves; they are self-generating, and when onoe fairly under way, must necessarily sweep onward, until the water in all the seas are exhausted.’ Tiisiug from my seat, I w T ent to the wash-stand in the corner of the apart ment, and drawing a bowl, full of •Spring valley water 1 returned to Sum mer field and lem iked, ‘Words are empty; theories are ideal; but facts are things.’ ‘I take you at your word. So say ing he approached the bowl, emptied it of nine-tenths of its contents, and si lently dropped the potassium coated pill into the liquid. The potassium danced around the edges of the vessel, fuming, hissing and blazing as it al ways does, and seemed on the point'of expiring, when to my astonishment and alarm, a sharp explosion Look place, and in a second of .time the water was blazing in a red, lurid column half way to the ceiling. , ‘For God’s sake, I cried, extinguish the flame* or we shall set the building bn tire!’ ‘Had I dropped the potassium into the bowl as you prepared L,he quietly remaiked', Mbe building would indeed have been consumed. ‘Lower and lower feH the flickering flames, paler and paler grew the* blaze,' until,finally the fire went out, and I rushed up to see the combustion. Not a (Trop of water remained in the vessel! Astonished beyond measure at what I hiul witnessed, and terrified almost to the verge of insanity, I approached Huuimerficld and tremblingly inquired; ‘To whom sir is this tremendous se cret known ?’ ‘To my*eif; alofie,* he responded; ‘and now answer me a question, is if B.H.

Finally, a proposition was started that an attempt should be made to raise the other half of the money iu the city of New York. To this proposition Summerfieid ultimate ly yielded, butwitli extreme reluctance. It was agreed in committee that I should acemnpany him thither, and take with me, in my own possession,, evidence of the sums subscribed here, that a proper appeal should be made to the leading capitalists, scholars aud clergymen of the metropolis, aud that, when the whole amount was raised, it should be paid over to Sum nun held and a bond taken fromhim never to di vulge his aw'ful secret to any human boing. ‘With this he seem and satisfied, and left to prepare for his going the next morning. . , ‘As soon as he left the apartment, the bishop arose and deprecated the action that had been taken, and ehar actereized it as ‘childish and absurd.’ He declared that no man was safe one moment whilst bhat diabolical wretch’ still lived; that the only security for us alt was in his immediate extirpa ti m from the face of the earth, 4ittd that no amount of money could real his lips or close ilia hands, it would, be no crime, he said, to deprive him of the means of assassinating the whole human family, and that as for himself he was for dooming him to immediate death. ‘With a unanimity that was extra ordinary the entire committee coinci ded. ‘A great many plans were proposed, . discussed and rejected, having iu view the extermination of.Snipmmbs]d« Iu them all' there \Vas the want of that •proper caution which would lull the apprehension of an esemv; for should' he lor an ipstant suspect treachery we knew his nature well enough to be sap if-fled that he would waive all ceremo nies and put Lis threat into immediate execution.
