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. JOHN F.

W. L. GOODWIN. Claim agent. Jrsville, June 22, 7871. From the Atlanta Sun. WASHIXCiTON CORBESPOXD 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.
