D MANY a human being has passed away, for whose death there was no other roaso'n than the neglect of known and indisputably proven means of cure. Those near and dear to family and friends arc sleeping the dreamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted Dlt. JOSEPH H. SCKENCK’S SIMPLE TREATMENT. and availed themselves of his wonderful effica cious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. Schenok has in his own case proved that wherever sulficient vitality remains, that vital ity,. by his medicines and his directions for their use, is quickened into healthful vigor. In this statement there is nothing piesump 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. Scheftck’s medicines is as simple as it is ur.failing. Its philosophy requires no argument. It is self-assuring, sclf convincing. % The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the first two weapons with which the citadel of tho malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the cases of consumption originate in dyspepsia and a functionally disordered livei. AVith this condition the bronchial tulies “ sympathize” with the stomach. They respond to the morbific action of the liver. Here then comes thi cul minating result, and the setting in, with all its distressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION. The Mandrake Pills are composed of one of Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podopliilium I’clta tum. They possess all the blood-seartflung, alterative properties of calomel. But unlike calomel, they “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. Chyliflcation is noiv progressing without its previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless, and the euro is seen to bo 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. Sehcnck’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 and made new, and the patient, in all the dignity of regained vigoi - , steps forth to enjoy the manhood or the woman hood that was GIVEN UP AS LOST. The second thins is, the patients must stav in a warm room until they get well ; it is almost impossible to prevent taking cold when tlio 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 country in the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians who recommend that course lose patients, if their lungs are badly diseased, ami yet because they are m 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. Sclienek’s personal statement to the Faculty of his own cure was in these modest words : Many years ago 1 was in. the last stages of consumption ; confined to my bed, and at one time my physicians thought that 1 could not live a week; then, like a drowning man catch ing at straws, I heard of ami obtained the pre parations which I now offer to the public, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that T could feel them penetrate my whole system. They soon ripened the matter in jnv lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of4 offensive yellow matter every morning for a long time. As soon as that began to subside my cough, fovei. pain and night sweats all began to leave me,, and my appetite became so great that it was with difficulty that T could keep from eating too much. 1 soon gained my strength, and have grown in flesh ever since.”' •‘I was weighed shortly after mv recoverr,” added the Doctor, “then looking like a mere skeleton; my weight was onlv ninety-seven pounds ; my present weight is two hundred am '8 twenty-five pounds, and for years I have “ ENJOYED GOOD HEAT.TH.” Dr. Sobcnok has discontinued his professional visit to New York and Boston, lie'or his Son, Dr. J 11. Sehonok, dr., 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 exrttni nation with the Hespirosneter will lie charged five dollars. The Kespironioter declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are curable nr not. The directions for taking the medicine' arc adapted to the intelligence even of a child Follow these directors, ami kind mvtuce will do the rest, 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 amide instructions ; that do accompany them- First create appetite. Os returning health hunger is the most Welcome symptom. When it comes, as it will coin*;, 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. Scheuek’s medicines are-constantly If dpt in tens of tivousands of families. Asa laxative, or purgative, the Mandrake Pills lire a standard preparation; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a curer of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a prop'hylacteric against consumption in any of its forms, .

Os all ; the relies el antiquity that have come ! to us, some ancient writings of the Bi i ble are the most ancient. Westminis ter Abbey, gray with lapse of ages, where men with immortal names lie in their silent tombs, is comparatively modern. Home is enriched with ruin ed buildings which stood in their pride i and glory about 1,000 years beforo the first stone of Westminister Abbey was laid; and yet they may be called mod ern. Go to the bank of the Nile; there are pyramids that wore stand ing as they now are many centuries before the city of Homo was built on tho banks of the Tiber, and they too are modern. Go to the banks of the Euphrates; there lie, in fragments of masonry, remains of tho city of Baby lon—perhaps vitrified fragments of tho Tower of Babel itself. These are spec imens of antiquity, worn and mutila ted by the lapse of time. All that was once connected with them is gone.— Tho hands that built them, tho pride and beauty of their city, the crowds that thronged their streets, the tombs where they lay, aro all gone! But tho Bible is far more ancient than those crumbling monuments. When tho pyramids were gazed upon as new buildings, Moses penned his Penta teuch. David wrote his Pslams prob ably two centuries before Homer wrote his Iliad. When Homo was but rising as a village, Isaiah was denouncing the corruptions of the Jewish kings and predicting their downfall; when Alex ander the Great set out for Eastern conquests, the Jewish nation had ex isted for 1,000 years; when ho entered Jerusalem, the Jews had in the sacred archives all tho books of the Old Tes tament which wo read now; and Jose phus tells us that the High Priest even showed to Alexander Daniel’s prophe cy respecting himself. God made the Jewish nation his librarian; and with rigorous fidelity did they preserve ev ery book, every psalm, every prophecy, scrupuously guarding even the letters from corruption. Thus the Bible is its own witness; it is tho oldest and most venerable monument of antiqui ty; it is minutely inter-woven with tho great events of the world's history; the more it is examined, the more exactly it is found to agree with facts at the time when it professes to have been written. No book has ever endured such as saults as tho Bible. Some people write and argue as if the skeptics of our day were the first who over ques tioned tho authority of the Scripture. But the Bible has always been the ob jects of assault. Men withstood tho works of the Lord himself, and then every where contradicted the Appos tles. The early Christians lived and suffered and held fast their faith amid fierce and incessant conflicts. When tho Bible lay for ages unread by the people, infidelity was silent; but when learning revived, infidelity sprang up again. Many of the leading writers of the last century in England and France were infidels. It was the age of infidelity. They boasted that Chris tian faith should be swept clean from the earth. A firery furnace was kin dled and the Holy Bible submitted to the torture. Sceptics have ever sought to disprove its facts, and ridicule its characters. Men of science alleged that its statemeuts were contradicted by their discoveries; philosophers have found fault with its moral, and argued against all belief in its miracles, as a thing simply incredible; kings have forbidden it to bo read; popes have put it under their curse; generals have drawn the sword against it; grave and venerable councils decreed tnat it is a dangerous book, not to be pos sessed; houses have beeu ransacked to destroy it; learning perverted to mis interpret it; all the charities of life sac rificed in hot zeal for ifs extermina tion; and yet in tho face of tempests and universal uproar, the Bible stands Like tnc cciulcan arcli that spans tlic sky, Majestic in its own.simplicity.” No fragment of any army ever sur vived so many battles as the Bible; no citadel over witnessed so many sieves; no rock was ever battered by so many hurricanes, and swept by storms. And ' and stands. It has seen the rise and ! downfall of Daniel’s four empires. Assyria bequeathes a few mutilated fagures to the nitches of our national museum. Media and Persia, like Bab ylon, which they conquered, have been weighed in the balance and long ago found wanting. Greece faintly sur vives its historic fame: “’Tis living Greece no more;” and the iron Borne of the Caesars is held in precarious oc cupation by a feeble hand. And yet l the Book that foretells this still sur | vives. What nations, kings, philoso j phors, systems, institutions have died away, the Bible now engages men’s deepest thoughts, is examined by the keenests intellects* stands revered be fore the highest tribunals, is more read and sifted and debated, more devout edly loved, and more vehemently as sailed, more, defended and more de nied, more industriously translated and freely given to the \vorld, more honored and more abused than any other book the world ever saw: “Strange words fulfilled, and mighty words achieved, And truth in all the .world both hated and Grieved.” • It survives till changes, itself un changed; it moves all minds, yet is moved by none; ail things de cay, itself incorruptible; it sees myr iads of other books engulfed ill tin stream of time, yet is borne Irinmpaut ly on tlie wave; and will be, burnt along, till the mystic angel sliail plant his foot on the sea, and swear by Him that liveth for ever and ever, that time shall be no longer. “For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as tho flower of grass. The grass wither eth, and the floAver thereof falleth away; but the Word of tho Lord en- Uureth forever.” —Christian Observer. The Collosi* IVoNfrcct. A few weeks ago tlicro was groat ex citement in tho cotton market, atten ded by an advance in price of six cents per pound. A great part of tho ad vance then and all of the excitement •were duo to tho reports of reduced planting and injury to tho crops by protracted bad weather. Every point unfavorable to future supply from tho crop of 1871 was grossly exonerated. Speculative opinions and rash state ments of individuals wero doubly for titied and supported by unwarranted and absurd statesments from tho agri cultural Bureau at Washisnton, which in England wero ignorently supposed to have some value. One month of warm, dry, favorable weather has passed, and, behold, what a chance ! “Cotton has no friends,” is the oxpressivo phrase in market.— prices have fallen about two cents, without reviving faith; tho declino has rather increased the tendency to fur ther depression. The crop story from every quarter comes bettor, and better, as if the writers, repentant of folly, would causo its expression to be for gottou. Loav estimates of tho crop appear no more, and the making of estimates has ceased, as if everybody at last has come to see that they servo * no other purpose but to exhibit the fa tuity of their makers. Yet there are some opposite facts of the past and present that may be usefully consider ed. The cotton crop of 1870 was very large, unexpectedly so to the extent of 500,000 to 700,000 bales, because of tho unparalelled maturing season.— The production of other countries was up to its usual average. The great sudden excoss in supply depressed the market value of cotton in the spring to a range only about 8 per cent, high er in gold than the average price at the same period in tho three years preceding tho Avar. All ofclior articles of trade and mauufauture (except wool, a kindred article) bore values 15 to 1G per cent, higher than in 1858-60. Cot ton had fallen too low. It was fairly entitled to an advance of lid., or 3 cents in gold, to place it upon a level with other commodities, irrespective of any reduction of supply or any fur ther increase of consumption, as com pared with the quanitios of 1870-I. About onc-kalf the advance in May and June was then legitimate (only too early and too rapid), even with a favorable report of the growing crop. England has liadone year of remark ably good busiues in all branches of her cotton trade. It Ims been good enough to start new spindles for the ensuing year. England does not set up new spindles, except to replace old ones, in years of unprofitable and “dis astrous” business like that which mar ked tho years 18G4 to 18G0, arid they are not well informed who talk and w 7 rite of tiro great increase in British cotton spindles in those bad years. — Now it is changed. The impetus of profit is given as in 1857 to 18G1, and the increase for the work of 1871-2 may well bo large. On the Continent the restraint of war is ended. Spindles lately idle are in motion again, and new ones are building, under the pow erful incentive of profits, which, good when cotton was worth 12d., have be come very good with cotton at Bd.; and the reduction in price of cotton, shared in tho reduction price of cotton goods, has enlarged the market de mand for those goods. There is ample reason to suppose that in the avorago of twelve monlis from tho Ist of October next there will be three and one-half to four millions more spindles in running order than in twelve months preceding. The question will arise, will tradoand con sumption take off all the production of the spinning power so enlarged ? And most men, looking at the abundance and cheapness of money arid ever ex tending areas of trade, will answer, Yes, if not prevented by enhanced pri ces. If so much be true; then the world wants for the next year four hunured thousand bales of cotton more than was requird for the current year. Whence is it to come? Should the rest of the world keep its supply up to. that of 1870-1 our crop would need to be not only 4,300,000 bales agam, but as much more as the increase in consumption, or else the surplus at‘the end of next year must be induced by whatever our crops fails of that in crease. We hazard no estimates of growing crops, but we remeikber that the extraordinary yield from the large ! planting of 1870 was, to the extent of half a million bales at least, duo to such a season as may not be repeated for many years. We know that the earl} 7 start of this crop was under conditions, which, though grossly exagerated, were yet unfavorable,. It is for every one to discount from last year’s production so much as to him seems good in ar riving at a probability for this year.— If the crop falls off GUO 000 bales—that is, if it turns out to be 3,700,000 bales —and the consumption in the world shall be 500,000 bales more than this S.

Mi buzzum friend, Horace Greely, bi'Z rit ft. book with the abuv name, allho I haveut h;ul time to peroose it, yet don’t hesitate to pro nounce it bully. riiarmm (now daao) is pretty much all theory, and therefore it is.ustoiish iug that a man kan live in N6wr York and be a good chancery lawyer, and also kuo all about pharmin. A pharrn (now daze) bf one hundred akers will produce more buck wheat aud pumpkins, run on theory than ik would sixty years ago, run ou manure and hard knoks. There is nothing like Look learning,-, and tho time will eventually come, wheu a man would hav too hnv only one of “Josh Billings Farmers’ Al mannx,” to run a pharm, or a karnp meeting with. Even now it ain’t unkommon, tew see three or four hired men, on a pharrn, with three or four spans of oxen, all standing still, while the boss goes into the library, and reads liiar-.- self for tho day’s plowing. If I was runing a pharm (now daze) * I suppose I would rather buv 3G busb ols ov sum new breed ov potatoes razed on theory, 1 hen tow hav 81 bushels got in the mean, beknighted aud under hand way ov our late lamented -grand parents. * Blnw'imn, after all, is a good deal like the tavern bizziuess, enny hotly' thinks they kan keep a hotel, (now daze,) and enny body thinks, Uiey-kau pharm it (now daze,) and they kan , but this is the way that pour hotels cum to be so plenty, and this is like-wise wnat makes pharmin such easy and profitable bnzziness. Just take the theory outof phariniu,, and there ain t fc nothin’ left, but hard work, aud all di ed little krops. When I see so much pholks rushing into theory 7 pliarmiiig, as there is (now daze,) and so rnenny ov them rushing out agiu, i think ov that reniarkablo piecce of scriptur, which remarks, “menny are called, but few arc cho sen. I onst took a pharm on shares mi self, and run heron some theories, and the thing figured up this way, i duu ad the work, phurnished all the seed and manure, had ague 0 months out ov l‘*2, for mi share ov the profits, and too other phellow paid the taxas' on the pharm for his share. By mutual kousent i quit tho pharm at the end ov the your. What 1 kilo about pharmin ain’t wuth bragging about, and i fob! lhy duty to state, for the benefit ov my kreditOrs, that if they ever expekt me to pay five ceuts on a dollar they museu’t start me in tho throeretikul pharmin employ. If a man really is anions tew make ipunny on a pharm, the less theory he lays in the better, and he must do pretty much all tho work hisstJf, afid support his family on what he kant, sell and go ragged euuff all the time , tew hunt bees.
