CONSUMPTION, #
Its Cure and Its Preventive
BY J. H. SCHENCK, M. D
MANY 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
DR. JOSEPH H. SCHHKCK’S SIMPLE
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 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 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 I)r. Sehenek’s medicines
is as simple as it is ui failing. Its philosophy
requires no argument, ft is self-assuring, sclf
convincing.
The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills arc
the first two weapons with which the citadel
of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the
cases of consumption originate in dyspepsia
and a functionally disordered livei. With this
condition the bronchial tubes “sympathize”
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 Podophillnm Pelta
tum. They possess all the blood-searching,
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 lie is getting, at
last,
A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD.
The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the
Pills, permeates and assimilates with the foo l.
Chylirtcation is now progressing without its
previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless,
and the cure is seen to he 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 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 was
GIVEN UP AS LOST.
The second thing is, tlic 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 must tic 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, and yet because
they are in tlic 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 u p a
good circulat ion 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. Schenck’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 my 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
parations which I now offer to the public, and
they made a perfect cure of tnc. It seemed to
me that 1 could feel them penetrate my 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 time.
As soon as that began to subside mv cough,
level, 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 mv strength,
and have grown in llesh ever since.”
"I was weighed shortly after mv recovery,”
added the Doctor, “then looking like a mere
skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven
pounds ; my present weigb-t is two hundred and
twentv-flve 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 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 Respirometer will be charged five
dollars. The Respiromctcr declares the exaet
condition of the lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether they 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 will do
the rest, excepting that in some eases the Man
drake Pills are to he taken in increased doses ;
the three medicines need no other accompani
ments than tiie 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 he 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 Bills are a standard
preparation; while the Pulmonic, Syrup, as a
curer of coughs and colds, may be 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 sale by all
druggists and dealers.

A HYMN BY TIIK LATH PHOEBE CARY.
One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to mo o’er and o’er ;
I’m nearer my home to-day
Thau I ever have been before.
Nearer my Father's bouse,
Where the many mansions bo ;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down ;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.
Bnt the waves of that silent sea
Roll dark before my sight,
That brightly the other side
Break on a shore of light.
0, if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink,
If it be I am nearer homo
Even to-day than I think.
Father, perfect my trust,
Let my spirit feel in death
That her feet are firmly set
On the ltock of a living faith.
Puiim and I'uustci'N.
A writer in tko Chicago Tribune
says :
There are few persons who are not
pleased by a good pun. It is true,
you meet now and tbeu a scowling
moralist, an intellectual owl, very
wise in bis own conceit—one of those
beings whom Wadsworth has so hap
pily characterized as
A reasoning, all-sufficient thing,
An intellectual all-in-all.
who lias a morbid abhorence of these
“ agreeable levities,” as Lamb calls
them, these “ Lwinkling corpuscula of
conversation.” Everybody remembers
the hackneyed sayiug of Johnson,
that a man who would make a pun
would pick a pocket. Yet one can
imagine the prompt and indignant
“ You lie, sir !” with which the great,
gruff, seven-tailed bashaw of conver
sation would have greeted the neces
sary logical inference—had any one
dared to hint—on a certain occasion
when the Doctor himself pointed one
of his keenest sarcasms with a pun.
Visiting St. Andrew’s College shortly
alter that institution had made itself
infamous by selling its honors, the
Doctor asked the Provost how the
College was prospering. The Provost
complained that it was poor. “ Well,”
said Johnson, “jxrn have only to keep
on as you have begun, and * you will
get rich by degrees /’’
Auother authority, whom the ene
mies of puns are fond of quoting, is
our own Lexicographer, Noah Web
stet, who, in his ponderous dictionary,
after vainly endeavoring to define a
pun—a thing which defies definition
as utterly as does ajover’s glance, or
that gyratory motion about the tip of
tho nose which so significantly says,
“ Don’t you wish you could come it ?”
—pronounces it a low species of wit ;
at the same timo giving the lie to his
own libel by quoting for illustration
one of tho most exquisite pieces *of
pleasantry m the language. “ Thus,’
said the lexicographer, “ a man who
had a tall wife, named Experience, ob
served that he had, by long experience ,
proved the blessings of a married life.”
The barbarian ! to call this gorgeous
jeu d'esprit low wit! The truth is, it is
only such stubborn old fogies as Web
ster, or your dull, thick-pated men,
who have not the ingenuity to perpe
trate a pun, that object to this cunning
play upon words—this shrewd and fe
licition attempts at double meaning.
Certainly if, as Swift says, ho is a ben
efactor of his species who causes two
blades of grass to grow where but
one grew before, then he also is a
philanthrophist who causes two mean
mgs to grow upon a word that had
but one before. I fear tho antipathy
of the pun-haters is sometimes expli
cable upon the principle of sour
grapes.
A heavy frost on Mount Washing
ton yesterday morning covered the
telegraph wires to the size of a man’s
arm, and broke them twice near the
summit.
While some young men were “in
swimming in the Wabash, some mis
chievous girls stole their clothes.—
They were detected however, aud an
exciting chase took place, but the girls
got away.
A negro woman iu Buffalo under
took to poison herself with calomel.—
She took au over-dose, aud it made
hei sick, and she imagined she was in
the agonies of death. She was aston
ished when told that the medicine she
had taken would do her good.
A celebrated dandy was ordered by
his phisicims to follow a course of sea
bathing at Dieppe. Arrived at the
delightful bathiug town, he ordered a
machine and attendant, and went bold
ly into the water. He plunged in
bravely, but in an instant after came
up pulling and blowing. “Francois,”
said he, “the sea smells detestiblv; it
will poison me. Throw a little euu
(le-Cologne into the water, or I shall

Facts About Life.
It is singular how much method
has been discovered in the seeming
irregularities of life. Things that ap
pear the most casual occur with won
derful order when the aggregate is
taken iuto account. Take, for in
stance, tho height of man. What in
fluence has it on longevity ? How r
can we know whether we art fortunate
or unfortunate in this respect? Facts
show that one’s height does affect
one’s days, and tall men live longer
fkan short ones.
Marriage, too, affects longevity.
Favorably ? Yes ; married men live
longer than single men. One’s pro
fession has an important relation to
life. Thus, out of ono hundred of
each of the follow-iug professions, the
number of those who attain their sev
entieth year is : among clergymen,
42 ; farmers, 40 ; traders and man
ufacturers, 33 ; soldiers and clerks,
32 ; lawyers, 29 ; artists, 28 ; profes
sors, 27 ; physicians, 24. Thus it ap
pears that those who heal us kill
themselves more rapidly than others.
The average duration of life is 33
years. One-fourth of the born die
before they roach the ago of * 7 years,
and the half bel'oro the 17th year.
Out of 100 persons only G reach the
age of GO years, and only 1 in 1,000
reach the age of 100. Out of 500
only 1 attains 80 years. Out of 1,000,-
000,000 living persons, 330,000,000
die annually, 81,000 daily, 3,730 every
hour, and GO every minute ; and still
tho population of tbe earth increases.
The known tongues which men speak
amount to 3,064.
It seems from these facts that the
two great events of life are being born
and dying. After the turmoil, rest.
The world knows no victory
to be compared with a victoi’y over
our owa passion. The struggle of life
is between the flesh and the spirit, and
one or the other Anally gains the as
cendancy. Every day and every hour
of the Christian’s life is this contest
going on, and it is fearful to think bow
often it is that victory is declared in
favor of this earth, with its Bioful pas
sions.
Congressional district, where the ne
gro population is very large, the Dem

It is an exploded theory that
women dress to please men. They
di-ess td please or spite each other.—
Any girl of sense and experience knows
that it is just as easy to break a mans
heart in a two dollar muslin, neatly
made up, us it is in a live hundred dol
lar silk costume, made by a man dress
maker.

LIFE 1\ A TOMB.
Tl»r Si«r) of Janus T. Andcraon,
of lowh —A Liviiis Head on a
Dead Body Writing
Learning to Paint with H( H
Month.
In lowa resides James T. Anderson,
aged twenty-six. Three years ago he
died from his neck downward. His
head, however is alive, and more vig
orous and active than lieforo the body
'which it unco governed ceased to bo vi
tal. At the age of two James’ fathor
.lied, and bis mother married again,—■
At ihe nge of three he was tossed sev
eral times by nn angry cow. Shortly
afterwards while he was eating bread
and milk, a rattle suako joined him,
and when the two had finished, his
snakeship made his bow and retired.
At five years old a horse rot) away with
him, and made for a stable, across the
enlrnnco of which was a bar. The
horse rushed in under the bar, and his
mother suiy.fd hvm just in time to sav«
his life. He grew up active and st rong,
aud was fond of sport. He became a
good gymnast.
James, at the time of the accident
that left him with a dead body and a
living head, was a fine, handsome
young man. He weighed two hun
dred pounds, and there was not a su
perfluous ounce of flesh on hi* body.
One afternoon, when on a visit to an
uncle at Glen wood, lowa, lie was ex
ercising on a pole placed from one tree
to another in the back yard. He had
on a pair of gaiters, tipped with patent
leather. He swnug down from the
polo by his feet; the leather slipped,
aud he fell. He struck his neck just
where it joins the shoulders. He was
bewildered, but perfectly conscious.—
His body felt as though smashed to a
jelly. He experienced a horrible ting
ling; and when the doctor came ho
told him not to touch him, as his body
was broken to peioea His neck was
broken, inflammation set in, and all
thought his end had come. To the
surprise of all, in a few days he began
to amend. Ho was shortly after re
moved to his stepfather’s house, where
ho still resides.
Time hung heavily on his hands,
and he resolved to learn to write with
his mouth. He accomplished this, and,
us ho says in a letter to Mr. J. K Nut
ting, be soon wroto a tolerably good
mouth. He is now trying to paint,
and hopes by this moans to earn some
thing for his support He has been,
and still is, tenderly cared for by his
sister, herself a cripple, and speaks iu
the highest terms of his stepfather,
who, though a poor man, has shown
him overy kindness-
His worst enemies are the flies which
buzz about his face. He holds a loafy
twig in his mouth, however, aud man
ages to twirl it about in a wonderful
way and drive away his tormentors.—
This case is without a parallel, except
that of John Carter, of England, who
was injured in a similar way, and who
became a famous painter.

he is very certain to be similarly em
ployed.
