CONSUMPTION,
Its Cure and Its Preventive
BY J. H. SCHENCK, M. D
V/VANT a human being has passed away,
I*.E. 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
DR. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK’S SIMILE
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 viridity remains, that vital
ity, by his medicines 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. Schenck’* medicines
is as simple as it is ui.failing. 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
ot the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the
cases of consumption originate in dyspepsia
and a functionally disordered livei. With -.his
condition the bronchial tubes “ svmpathize”
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,
■* 1 Li.',uu uiv e t\,\pJ 0.1
“LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,”
The work of cure is now beginning. The
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 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.
Chylifleation 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 he 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 was
GIVEN rr AS LOST.
The second thing is, the patients must stay in
a warm room until they get well ; it is almost
impossible to prevent faking 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 ceunbry 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 bear, to get up a
food circulation of blood. The patients must
ecp 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 f was in the last-stages of
consumption; confined to niv 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 tbe pre
narations 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 mv
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,
fevei, pain and night sweats all began to leave
me, and ray appetite 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 Tm* recovery,”
added the Doctor, “then looking like a mere
skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven
pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and
twenty-five 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. J 11. Schenck. Jr., 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 Respirometcr will he charged five
dollars. The Respirometer 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 diret tons, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man
drake Pills are to he 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 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
curer of coughs and colds, may he 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 salo by all
druggists and dealers.

ENCE OF TIIE SI X.
Testimony of Hr. X. L Angler,
Stale Treasurer.
A Statement ofFaets.
Washington, D. C., July 30.
Editor Sun: The following is taken
from the simrn testimony of Needom
L. Angier, Treasures of the State of
Georgia, given before the Ku-Klux In
vestigation Committee at Washington,
July 14th, 1871:
Question. —What is your opinion as
to the manner in which the laws are
administered in the State of of Geor
gia?
Answer.—Well, sir, they have been
violated. There has been very little
regard paid to law. lam now speak
ing of our State laws.
Question. —In what way have they
been disregarded ?
Answer.—l speak with regard to
the party in power there, and
The Acts of tlie Governor.
As the records will show, there has
been very little attention paid to law.
At the close of the war there was con
siderable old bonded indebtedness of
Gerogiu; and on the 13 th of Decem
ber, 1866, this provision, passed by the
Legislature, was approved:
“That his Excellency, the Governor,
be and is hereby authorized to execute
said bonds, prepared as aforesaid, to
the amonut of $600,000, and to issue
the same upou such terms and in such
maimer as may deem best for the in
terests of the State in exchange for, or
redemption of, said old bonds of the
State tailing due in 1868, 1869, and
1870.
These Boudu Have Not yet Been Taken Up.
About 173,000 of these bonds are
still outstanding. The reason is that
the Governor in 1868 sold $265,000 of
these seven per cent, mortgage bonds,
and he used the proceeds for other pur
poses than the redemption of the old
bonds. Fifty-thousand dollars of the
proceeds of those bonds he gave to H.
I. Kimball to finish an Opera House
called
Kimball’s Opera House,
in the city of Atlonta, although there
was no appropriation for that purpose
at all. The Governor w ent on and
sold these bonds. H 6 drew drafts in
the first place in favor of Kimball for
$35,000. Some of them were drawn
in blank; tney did not say to whom
ball received the money, to be applied
to this Kimball’s Opera House, a» it
was called. When it was found that
this $35,000 had been used in that
way, tbe General Assembly called on
me to make a report. I knew nothing
of the matter. The Governor used
this money and for four months never
reported to me as Treasurer. I got a
report from the bank. Finding out
the amount that had been used,
The Legislature Appointed a Committee.
to investigate the matter; and that
committee reported that it was done
without any authority of law and in
violation of the expressed will of the
General Assembly. As soon as the
General Assembly adjourned Gover
nor Bullock went immediately to New
York and drew a draft for $20,000
more on the Fourth National Bank
and paid it to Kimball, notwithstand
ing the positive and emphatic action
of the General Assembly. The vote
of the Legislature on the report that
was adopted was one of censure and
condemnation of his conduct.
The General Assembly passed an
act authorizing the Governor to issue
a certain number of bonds to pay off
the members and other expenses of
that body. The expenses of the Gen
eral Assembly up to the time they ad
joured did not exceed s3oo,ooo—about
$250,000. The Governor issued bonds
under that act to the
Amount of two Millions of Dollars.
He had my name engraved upon them
without any authority and sent them off
to New York witouut reporting them to
the Treasurer at all. He undertook
to make it appear that he had a right
to use my name, when the law showed
plainly that he had no such right and
that the bonds were illegal without my
signature. On the 30th of November
labt he wrote me a letter stating that
he had ordered
#500,000 of those Bonds
to be sent to the treasurer ’s office can
celled, from Clews & Cos., New York,
and that the balance would be along
in a few days. That balance has nev
er come yet. That makes a million and
a half ouldanding!
Tfien there w T as an act passed au
torizing
The Governor to Issue Gold
bonds to meet the bonded indebted
ness and other expenses of the State.
The General Assembly at that time
had not determined to put off the time
of meeting till November. They real
ly did not need any bonds for the pur
poses of last year; but for this year
the meeting of The General Assembly
having been put off till November, I sup
pose that considering all the expenses
and extravagance that there has been
there, the entire amount necessary
might have been exceeding $1,000,000
of bonds. At furthered net more than
that was needed of these gold bonds.
The Governor had
Four Millions Dollars Worth
of these bonds engraved.
The revenue derived from poll tax,
the liquor tax, and tax on shows and
other small special purposes, provided
by law for school taxis, has been ap-
propriated by the Governor to other
purposes until there is none of those
funds in the treasury.
| Another point in which the State
administration has violated the law, is
in the use of
Stale Rallrod Funds
for other purposes than railroads. —
The law is that the funds of the Road
shall be paid to the Treasurer of the
State at the .end of each month, except
so much as may be necessary for the
expenses of the ivoad. The Governor
has paid out large amounts directly
from the receipts of the Road, without
the money ever reaching the treasury;
and it has been paid out for other than
Railroad purposes. A short time ago
he paid to a Committee that he select
ed himself, without any authority of
law to go to Kentucky to try to influ
ence the Geueral Assembly there
to grant a charter for a railroad from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga, both pla
ces outside of the State of Georgia—
the road not touching Georgia at any
point. To pay this Committee for
which thero was no appropriation, and
which was not authorized by law,
the Governor drew his warrant for $2 -
729.
Her© is a Small Item,
the paying of an inordinate sum for
the printing of the Constitution of the
State, in pamphlet form. I have here
a copy of the pamphlet. I have con
versed with several printers as to what
would have been the reasonable ex
pense of getting up that book. Some
say ten cents some say fifteen, and
some say twenty, at the latter price
ten thousand copies would cost $2,-
000. Most of them estimate the ex
pense not higher than $1,500. The
Governor drew his warrant for n sven
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRRD DOLLARS for the
publication of that little book; and I
paid it out of the Treasury.
The next point is puying the inter
est on the Alabama & Chattanooga
Railroad bonds, to which the State
granted aid. The law ou this subject
provides:
“In the event that any bond or
bonds so endorsed by the State as pro
vided in the first section of this act, or
the interest thereon, shall not be paid
by the said railroad company at ma
turity, it shall be the duty of the Gov
ernor, upon information thereof, to
seize and take possession of the prop
erty of said railroad company.”
The act then goes on to provide
that the earnings of the railroad shall
be applied to the extinguishment of
ifo atieiuion to tffat
provision, but is
Paying the Interest on these Bonds.
Question —Does the law which you
have just cited require the seizure
and sale of the road in case of de
fault ?
Answer—Yes sir.
Question —Without seizing or at
tempting to sell the road, the Gover
nor goes on and pays the interest ?
Auswer —Yes, sir. He has.
▲ Sort of Suh-Treasnry in New York;
he has another in his office, and he has
sub-ticasuries all around. I call them
sub-treasuries; they are unknown to
the law. The law provides emphati
cally that no money shall be paid out
of the treasury without an appropria
tion and a warrant. He pays no more
attention to that provision than if there
were no lnw. He gets the money from
New York, or from the State Road, or
wherever he can pick it up, from the
sale of bonds, legally or otherwise.
Another point is in regard to paying
more clerks than the law authorizes.
It authorizes only one; he has five or
six clerks in his office.

Question —You speak of monej hav
ing been paid illegally to this man Kim
ball; state who and what he is.
Answer—He is a man who came to
Atlanta I suppose between three and
four years ago; that was the first I ev
er saw of him. I have no question on
my rniud that
Governor Bulloek was Interested with
Kimball
in the Opera House, and I judge so
from this fact:
When they were trying to negotiate
a lease with the citizens, Governor Bul
lock took me into his private room at
the National Hotel. He wanted to get
iny influence to pay $25,000 rent for
the portion of the Opera House need
ed for State purposes. 1 told him that
it was
An Outrageous Rent;
That tbe city was not able to pny it.—
He did not say positively that the Slate
would pay it, but intimated that he
thought the thing could be arranged.
We finally made the lease for $6,000,
when he .wanted us to pay $25,000. —
Another circumstance, on which I form
ed my judgment, is that
He Paid #55,000 to Kimball
without any appropriation, 20,000,. cf
it being paid after the General Assem
bly hau censured him severely. These
facts satisfy me that he was interested
in the concern. The building was fi
nally sold for twice its cost.
Qustion —Where is the residence of
Kimball now ?
Answer —He lives iu Atlanta.
Question—Docs he control some rail
roads ?
Answer —It is reported that he has
bought out
The Brunswick & Albany Rvllroad,
235 miles in length. Conaut or Clews,
in New York, are iu some way mixed
up iu the affair, I believe.”

--tion was asked;
Wliat lias Itfwmc of That Money Ktnitil
l>y Iho Knail?
Answer: Well, sir, that is the inquiry
: of the people generally; they believe it,
has L een fraudulently used by the offi
cers of the Road. Nearly every man
who had anything to do with it came
there poor; Mr. Bullock for one, never
paid a cent of tax in Georgia in his lsf<\
unless he paid it ttau year. I have
looked at the records myself, and up
to last year, when the investigation of
the committee wits made, he lias neve
given iu a cent of tax. He is now
buying plantations and stocking them
with tine English stock; he has the
best of everything and lives very fast-
Question —What is his saJary ?
Answer —$4,000 a year—not a third
of his family expenses; I do not believe
it is one-six .h. Me remarked to a per
son that
It Would Not F««d Ilia florae on Oats.
Every one who has anything to do
with the Road catne there apparently
poor; aud now they are all building
new houses and riding iu fiue carria
ges.

Question —Has any effort been made
to conceal the true state of the indebt
edness and liabilities of the State of
Georgia ?
Answer—Yes, sir, the law requires
the Treasurer to make report* of all
bonded indebtedness—the amount of
iuterest and bonds falling due. The
Treasurer is sworn to do this. Tkm
thing had been covered up so much in
da» knees by Governor Bullock, that I
wrote to Mr. Clews, requesting him to
give me a statement of the bonds he
had received, the amount hypothecat
ed. the amount sold, at what price, aud
what disposition had been made of the
proceeds. My son presented the letter
to Mr. Clews.
Mr. Clews Immediately Telegraphed to
Governor Bullock,
6tating what I wanted. Governor Bul
lock telegraphed to Mr Clews to an
swer no questions at all, and stated
that if I wanted to know such things I
could learn them at his office. I wrote
him a letter asking for that informa
tion, but I got no answer. The day I
wrote the letter he was not there; but
he got there before I left. I wrote a
letter to his secretary requesting a
statement in relation to the bonds of
ueiure 1 ibiL, tiibugil liAj gviwruur nau
returned and was in his office. The
secretary, when my sou went up, said
that he could not answer it, and tbat
he would refer it to Governor Bullock.
It has never been answered. The at
tempt is to keep all that matter con
cealed.
Question —The attempt of the Gov
ernor aud his friends who ought to
give the information.
Answer —Yes, sir.
Question —They have it aud can give
it you think ?
Answer—Yes, sir, certainly. I have
here the statement of the party who
engraved those bonds, showing that
the Governor had four millions of gold
bonds engraved—out and out 6tat«
