CONSUMPTION,
Its Eure and It* Preventive
BY J. H. SCHENCK, M. D
MANY a human being has passed awav,
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 n. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE
THE ATM ENT.
and availed themselves of his wonderful effica
cious medicines, they would not have fallen.
Dr. Schenck has in his own ease proved that
wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital
ity, by his medicines and his directio is 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. S. honck’s medicines
is as simjde as it is m 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
of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the
cases of consiimution originate in dvspepsia
and a functionally disordered livei. With this
condition the bronchia! tames “sympathize”
with tin' stomach. They respond to the morbific
action of tile liver. )fe v c then comes the eul
mini ling result, and (tic setting in, with all its
distressing symptoms, of
CONSUMPTION.
The Mandrake Pills are csrnposod of one of
Nature’s loblcsl ait’ls the I’odophillum Peita
tiun. They possess all the blood-searching,
alter Live properties of e I’.uimi,
But unlike calomel, they
“LEAVE NO S':' iNG BEHIND,”
The work of is now beginning. The
vitiated and mucous •lenosits in the lmwels and
in the alimentary os a 1 are elected. The iver,
like a clock, is ,v cur' sp. Il in-ouses fi an its
torpidity. The stomach acts, resnonsivelr, and
the patient begins to feel that he is getting, at
last,
A SUPPLY OP GOOD BLOOD.
The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the
Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food.
Chy]ideation is now progressing without its
previous tortures. Digestion becomes oainless,
and the cure f s seen to lie at hand. There, is no
more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach
An appetite sets in.
Now comes the^ greatest ivjood Purifier ever
yet given by an Indulgent father to suffering
man. Sehenck’s Pulmonic, Syrup comes in to
perform its functions and to hasten and com
plete he cure. f ( enters at once upon its work.
Nato e. 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 enovated and made new, and the
patient, in aP .he 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 almost
impossible to prevent taking cold when the
lungs are diseased, but it mist be prevented or
a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding
out, especially in I his seel ion of the country in
the .s inter season, are all wrong. Physicians
who recommend tb it course, lose patients, if
their lungs are badly diseased, and vet because
they are in the house tb<*y must not sit down
quid, ; ihev must walk about the room as much
and n-s fa.-., a- the strength will hear, to go up a
good _cire.nl ■ ion of blood. The patients must
keep ir good spirits —be determined to get well.
This ha- a great deal to do with the appetite,
and is the great point to gain.
Topicsoaii of cure after .such evidence of its
possibility in the worst eases, and moral cer
tainty in all others, is sinf'nl. Dr. Sehenck’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
t ime my physicians thought that I could not
live a week; then, like a drowning man catch
ing at straws, P heard of and obtained the pre
parations which I now offer to the public, and
they made a perfect cure of mo. It seemed to
me that I could feel them penetrate mv 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 t into.
As so,at as that began to subside my cough,
l'cvei, p iin aid night sweats all began to leave
me, and mv api-e<ito became, so great tl at it
was with difficulty that 1 could keep from
eating too much. 1 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 only ninety-seven
pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and
twenty-five pounds, and for years I have
“ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston. He or his son,
Dr. J IT. Schenck. Jr., still continue tc sec
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 Respirometer will be charged live
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 tire intelligence even of a child
Follow these diroctons, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man
drake Pills arc to be taken iu 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
tne despairing he of good cheer. Good blood at
once follows, the dough loosens, the night sweat
is abated. In a short time both of these morbid
symptoms are gone forever.
'Dr. Schenok’6 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
ourer of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a
prophylaeteric against consumption in any of
its forms.
Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed
Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, or $7,59 a half dozen. Man
drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all
druggists and dealers.

Mule—Blanca.
The mule stood on the steamboat deck,
The land he would not tread.
1 They pulled the halter round his neck.
And cracked him oe’r the head:
But obstinate and braoed he stood,
As born the sceue to rule,
A creature of the hold-back brood,
A stubborn, steadfast mule.
They cursed and swore—-he would not go
Until he felt inclined ;
And though they thundered blow on blow,
lie altered not his mind.
The deck-hand to the shore complained,
“The varmint’s bound to stay!”
And still upon the critter's hide
The souuding lash made play.
His master from the shore replied.
“The boat’s about to sail;
As other means in vain you've tried
Suppose you twist his tail—
It’s likely that will make him land.”
The deck-hand, b ave, though pale,
The nearer drew, with outstretched hand,
To make the twist avail.
There came a kick of thunder sound ;
The deck-hand—where was he
Ask of the waves that for around
Behold him in the sea l
A moment not a voice was beard :
But winked the mule his eye,
As though to ask to him occured—
“Now how was that for high ?”
‘!Just cut liis throat,” the captain roared,
“And end the cussed brute!”
But the noblest soul that perished there
Was he who tried to do’t!
Dow’s Idea oi* Heaven.
A Washington correspondent of
tho New York 'iribune furnishes au
anecdote of Lorenzo Dow’, which is
new and good. He says :
My wanderings led me one day to
an old grass-grown burying-ground
just beyond the boundary liue of the
city, near its northwest corner ; and
here 1 found the grave of one whose
saying used to to be household words
among those of like faith with him
self, but of whose burial-place scarce
“any man kuowetb unto this day”—
the grave of Lorenzo Dow. Here, in.
ibis retired, uegh ced spot, that stor
my, unquiet spirit found its rest. One
ot the best atiecdoms of Lorenzo Dow
Las. 1 believe, never been tu print. It
was related to me by a gentleman
whose father was a witness of the
incident.
Iu a small town in Western New
Yuik liven n noted infidel, Col. Boot.
There was no settled minister iu the
place, and the people were dependent
upou traveling preachers, principally
Methodists. In those days Metho
dist were not apt to be overburdened
with learning, and Col. Boot, a man
of fine education, familiar with Greek
and Hebrew, made it a point to en
gage every new comer iu an argument,
from which he almost invariably came
off victorious. His great weapon was
t.De errors m the translation of the
Bible, which Ihe Methodists, unable
to read in the original, could neither
refute nor explain. So many had
been worsted in these encounters, that
preachers were beginning to give this
place the go by when Lorenzo Dow 7
appeared. Hearing of ihe arrival of
another Methodist, Col. lloot propos
ed to Lis intimate triend, Mr. Bush,
they should “go down to the tavern
and demolish this oue.” After a little
preliminary skirmishing, the Colonel
dashed into the subject of Heaven,
which he considered one of the weak
est points of the Christian faith, on ac
count of the different views expressed
regardiug it. “ You believe in a
place you call Heaven, so of course
you must know all about it. Tell us
what kind of a place it is.” “No, I
don’t pretend to know all about it.”
“ Well, you think something about it,
don’t you ?” “ Certainly, I have an
idea of it.” “ Well, give us your idea;
tell us what kind of a place your Hea
ven is.” Tho keen, magnetic eyes
fastened themselves upon those of the
questioner, and iu slow, deliberate
tones, Lorenzo Dow replied : “ Heav
en, to my mind, is a broad, extended,
beautiful plain, lovely and pleasant to
the view, and where neither Root nor
Bush can ever grow !”
A Short I'arasjrapli on a Fong
Subject.
“Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long,”
We have no reason to believe that
Goldsmith ever thought of the many
uses to which the above couplet could
be applied when he wrote The Hermit.
For example : in his day and time
there were not so many long editorials
in newspapers, long sermons, long
speeches, and long harrangues of
every sort its we have now. It has
ever been a marvel to us how certain
newspapers filled up with long twad
dling articles from week to \yeek, on
dull, dry, prosy subjects, can find
enough stupid people to pay for them.
It is a marvel hoYv a stump-speaker,
whose harrangue is “ till sound and
fury, signifying nothing,” can prevail
on a crowd of men to listen to his
nonsense for an hour or two at a time*,
when every man in the crowd can
leave any moment he pleases. These
j things we do not understand, but we
| veiy easily comprehend why twelve
jurors will sit for hours list uing to n
prosy speech by a dull lawyer— it is
because they can’t help themselves!
From the very same reason, well-bred
people, who dislike to leave a church
during service, submit to long, dull,
dry, whang-doodle sermons.
These are all great evils from which
all sensible men implore deliverance,
and they are without excuse. If a
man has a message to deliver—any
thing to ray or write—let him employ
ibe fewest woid-s possible to eonvev
his meaning, and there will be no
reason to complain.
We might amplify—we could write
two or three columns on this subject
—but having said enough to make out
meaning clear, we clo e. lest we be ac
cused of practising w hat* we deprecate
in others. —Athens Watchman.

A German Nouicm*.
The continued activity in the Ger
man war establishment, since the close
of tile campaign, shows that Bismarck
has not much confidence in tho con
tinuance of peace. The present con
dition of Continental affairs implies
reasonable apprehension; but it is the
germination of a seed of German
planting. Under the bauuer of Pan-
Teutonish Germany, aided by Austria,
she robbed Denmark of a large part of
her territory, and the Gerinanancestry
of the population of Alsace was the os
tensible excuse for annexing that pro
vince; Yvhile the unification of all tho
German-speaking populations under
German rule is said to be the ultimate
object of the wily German Minister.
As Germans compose a large portion
of the population of the provinces of
Russia and Austria bordering ou Ger
many, the attempt to carry ou* such a
policy would be, in effect, a declara
tion of war. The prevalence of this
Pan-Teuton idea iu Russia, intensified
by the jealousy excited by the power
and influence lately acquired by the
German Empire, has created a lively
excitement iu tlie Orthrodox Russian
party, and as an offset to German ag
giadisement, a Pan-Slavian movement
has been inaugurated, or’ rather, re
vivefied, for it has been a favorite idea
with the Russians for some time.
Such unification of Slave nationalities
would include the Prussiau Poles.
This is where it hits Germany, and her
position is therefore not satisfactory,
with Russian Pan-Slavism on one side,
and French vengeance on the other.
There can be no doubt that Pun-Sla
vism is very popular in Russia, and
that the movement has the sympathy
of the Slave population in both Germa
ny and Austria. The Russian newspa
pers openly maintain that their race
has a mission to fullfiill and that the
Slave nationalities will only be satis
fied when their unification has been
brought about by the arm and in the
interest of “the head stock of the
Slaves.”
In this complication, neither Russia
nor Germany could reckon upon the
sympathy of Austria, as her popula
tion is largely composed of both Slaves
and Germans. Germany would thus
appear to be iu danger of having her
own principles of annexation brought
home to her, unless the tacit approval
by the Russian government of Pan-
Slavism be merely assumed to coerce
Germany into cooperation with the
Muscovite Eastern policy. Russian
concessions to Germany in the Baltic
might secure the latter’s neutrality,
if not her active co-operation in a
Russian annexation of Austrian terri
tory. An inkling of something of this
kind may have originated the leport
of tlie imminence of war between Rus
sia and Austria. Through tortuous
Yvays, the aims of monarens have fre
quently been reached by similar kinds
of bargains, and such a secret under
staading between the two great North
ern powers would not be a cause of
astonishment. A combination of this
character could hardly fail, howevei’,
to draw France to the ,id of Austria,
and Italy and England could scarcely
hope to escape tne entanglement. The
end might be another change in the
map of Europe, or the total extinction
of monarchical governments. If the
latter, the blood and treasure expen
ded would not have been altogether
in vain.
Hard Luck.
Says an editor ; “I went to a drug
store early oue morning for a dose of
morphine for a sick friend. The night
clerk objected lo giving it without a
prescription, evidently feariug I would
destroy myself. * Pshaw,’ said I,
‘do I look like a man who would de
stroy myself?’ Gazing at me steadi
ly for half a moment, he replied ; ‘I
don’t know. Seems to me, if I looked
like you, I should be greatly tempted
to kill myself.’ ”

“None. I’m a traveler.”
“A vagabond, perhaps?'’
“You an n<»t far wrong. Travelor

“Where have yon traveled?”
“AH over the continent.”
“For what purpose ?”
“Observation.’’
“What have you observed ?”
“A little to eommeud, much to cen

“Humph ! what do you commend ?”
“A handsome woman who will stay
at home; an eloquent preacher who
will preach short sermons; a good
writer that will not write too much;
and a fool that has sense enough to
hold his tongue.”
“What do you censure ?”
“A mau that marries a girl for her

medicine while ue has the use of his

a drunkard to office.”
“What do you laugh at?”
“I laugh at a man who expects his

which his personal qualifications and

A Lunatic Kill* Two Inmates
of the Asylum.
A lunatic named Berry, who has
been confined in ttie asylum at Wash
ington city for some time, became ter
ribly excited on Friday, and broke
out of the room iu which he was con
fined. Siezing a piece of board he
rushed into the > ard and struck two
of the inmates on their heads with
the sharp edge, killing them instantly
One of tiie victims was a woman nam
ed Agnes Kimball, and the other a
man named Richey. Berry being a
powerful man, it required the combin
ed efforts of several men to restrain
him from further deeds of violence.
Standing over uis bleeding and dead
victims brandishing his murderous
weapon, he for some time defied the
efforts of the officers to capture him,
while the wailing of the crazed but
frightened inmates made up a scene
that was appalling to the stoutest
heart.
