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. JOHN F. HENRY, EIGHT College Id ace.

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 bo suffocated.” J ride is increased by ignorance; those who usually know the least. Proclamation. TEN THOI SAXO DOLLARS REWARD. Whereas, Rueful Barebones Bullock, who sometimes claims to be “Governor of Georgia,’’ at other times “ Provis ional Governor” thereof, and who, un til recently, in conjunction with one General Terry, of the United States Army, and a mongrel b>*ly known as the Bayonet Legislature, has. under the instruction of the Radical Junta in Washington, exercised Executiv* authority in the aforesaid State issu ing bonds of the State to an indefinite amount, proclaiming large rewards for the apprehension of alleged criminals, leasing the State Kotul to a corrupt ring of which ho is a reputed member, pardoning his friends convicted of crimes of every grade, ap[H»inting Jud ges of the District Courts, Notaries Public and e.i -<j{firio Magistrates, giv iug large reinimng fees to lawyers, and squandering tbe funds of the State, has recently taken a “ now departure,” and absconded from the Capital lo parts unknown ; and Whereas, the said liuefnl Barebou 28 continues to absent himself from the State, engineering his rascality from a distance by telegraph, thereby putting the State to an enormous expense ; and Whereas, it is currently reported that having enriched himself with plunder, he has deserted his associates in villainy in their hour of need, and designs, like Holden, of North Caroli na, to seek refuge from legal process ; and Whereas, justico requires that he" should bo brought to Georgia and held to a strict account for his mani fold crimes and misdemeanors, before the bar of the General Assembly, at its next session : Now r , therefore, I, H. I. Kokalorum, Grand Cyclops of the Order of the Ku-Klux, have thought proper to issue this, my Proclamation, hereby offering a reward of Ten Thousand Dollars for the arrest and delivery of the said Rueful Barebones, with evidence suf ficient to convict. Given under my hand and the mystic seal of the mythical Order, at the Dark Den of the Bloody Moon, this 23d day of August, A. D. 1871, and of the misrule of the carpet-baggers the Cth, H. I.

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.

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. jS'. //. Smith 4* Cos., Proprietor*. 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. JJSaT* When you dispute with a fool, he is very certain to be similarly em ployed.
