CONSUMPTION,
Its Cure anti 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
1.1-oven means of cure. Those near and dear to
family and friends are sleeping the dreamless
slumber into which, had they calmly adopted
mi. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE
TREATMENT.
and availed themselves of liis wonderful effica
eious medicines, they Would not have fallen.
Dr. Selienck has in his own case proved that
wherever suflicient 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 Dr. Scheack’s 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
of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the
cases of consumption originate in dvspepsia
and a functionally disordered livei. With this
condition the bronchial tubes “sympathise”
with the stomach. They respond to the morbific
action of the liver. Mere then comes the cul
minating result, and the setting in, with all its
distressing symptoms, of
CONSUMPTION.
The Mandrake Pills are rsmposod of one of
Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podophillum Pelta
tum. They possess all the blood-searching,
alterative properties of calomel.
But unlike calomel, they
“LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,”
'Phe 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 responsi velv, and
the patient begins td 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.
< hylitieation is now progressing without its
previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless,
and the cure is seen to be at hand. There is no
more latulence, 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 Svrup comes in to
perform its functions and to hasten and com
plete he 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. 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 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, and vet 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
eep in good spirits—be determined to get well.
This has a great deal to do witli 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 ; con lined to my bed, and at one
time mv physicians thought that I could no
live a week; then, like a drowning man catch
ing at straws, I heard of and obtained the 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 mv whole,
system. They soon ripened the matter in mv
lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of
offensive yellow matter every.morniug for a
long time.
As soon as that began to subside mv cough,
fevei, 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. I soon gained my strength,
and have grown in flesh 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 weight is two hundred and
twentv-flve pounds, and for years I have
“ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Sobenck lias 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 Si xth street,
Philadelphia, every Saturday from !) a. rn., to 3
p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination
with the Respirometcr will be charged five
dollars. The Respirqmeter declares the exact
condition of the lungs, and patients can readilv
learn whether they are curable or not.
Tba directions for taking the medicine are
adapted to tlie intelligence even of a child
Follow these dircctons, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man
- Pills are to he ta«en 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 he of good cheer. Good blood at
once follows, the cough loosens, the night sxveat'
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 ofooughi and itold*. may lie regarded as a
prophylaeteric against consumption in any of
its forms.
Price of the .Pulmonic .Syrup and Seaweed
Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, hr $7. S') a half dozen. Man

A Lavnidar Cloud.
’Tis strange that here, mid nature’s laharynth
Os countless beauties, earth and heavenly,
We wind along a dark and narrow way.
Unconscious where these striking beauties lay!
And yet,-too well we know or think we tk>,
To what this sombre life is doubtless flue.
There is a tem’pramenr of human mind,
That seeks for nothing higher than to find,
While toiling in the vineyard of our God,
Where sinners ride, and Christians loug have
trod,
The fruits which act like good Commedians,
j In lieu of those like true Tradgedians.
■ Alas! with such as these, we meet too oft,
And grieve to think they’ll never look aloft,
But still, amid one light aqd buxom crowd,
Some faces shine with wisdom ri6b?y Proud,‘
A nd like o’er nature's forest wild to roam,
I And read the beauties of the azure dome!
Though changeable the clouds, alike as we,
Vet ne’r from these are they entirely free;
But sometimes as an angel fair on earth,
This beauty startles many at its birth!
’Twas this, when once upon a Summer eve,
I stood upon the steps to take my leave,
That drew the admiration from my soul,
And poised it there, upon a spot of gold—
With Lavendar and brilliant gilt Brocade,
: Tlie cloud would wave, and make a deeper
shade,
Which, sparkling with those flowers fair of
gilt,
You’d thihk was gold-dust on that surface
spilt.
This pretty cloud, called Strata-Cumula,
With base so broad, and jagged cupola,
All hung upon its scalloped edge with fringe,
Which gave tlie Lavendar a golden tinge,
Was thus a Lavendar of Gilt-Brocade,
But soon, like flowers, its beauty ’gau to
fade!

ISaT* Indiana young ladies tempt the
feet of 6rring swains from the paths of
dissipation by sweetly proffering bowls
of butter-milk instead of the accus
tomed giu and tanzy.
Be nut stingy of kind words and
pleasing acts, for such are fragrant
gifts, whose perfume will gladden the
heart and sweeten the life of all who
hear or receive them.
A little Loy, after watching the
burning of the schoolbouse until the
uuvelt} of the thing had ceased, start
ed down the street, saying: “Golly, Is
glad the old thing’s burned; didn’t
have my j'-gfry lesson nohow 1”
A lazy chap was lying in bed
one morning, when a man, stepping
in, said, ‘Joe, breakfast is coming on.’
‘Let it come,’ exclaimed he, with a look
of defiance, ‘l’m not afraid of it.’
S&" I don’t n.iss my church so
much as you suppose,” said a lady to
her minister, who had called upon her
during her illness, “for I make Betsey
sit at the window as soon as the bell
begins to chime, aud tell who are go
ing to Church, and whether they have
got anything new.”

It is a terrible thought to remember
that nothing can be forgotten. I
have somewhere read, that not an oath
is uttered that does not vibrate through
all time, in the wide-spreading current
of souud; not a prater is lisped, that
its record is not to be found stamped
on the laws of nature by the indelible
seal of the Almighty’s will.— [Cooper.
There is a rumor in Atlanta to the

S££o.A drowning man plucked from

It is told of Robert Hall that, being
one day engaged in a sort of world
frolic with some of his clerical friends,
he saw a certain bilious gentleman of

to his companions: “Let us be serious,
boys ! here comes a fool!’’
The amount of freight received at

A Strange Theory.
A Kcw Preventive of Epidemic*.
L. A. Hard( e, of Florida, who is
well ki o vn amoi g rciei.tific men, ad
vances his theory of concussions as a
means of preventing epidemics, &c.
This theory, it is jnsL to say, has b een
well received by physicians aud scien
tists. Mr Hciiv.ee writes as follows :
I believe in the theory advanced,
that yellow fever and cholera is caused
by animlacule, aud if I prove that con
cussion will destroy curculias, c.dapill
urs and other insects, and then it is
proven that concussions will not des
troy cholora or yellow fever, I claim
and submit to a generous public to
condemn this theory of animalcules
and let the medical and scientific
world look to other causes of epidem
ics.
But to the proof. I propose, if
means be furnished me, to arrest the
yellow fevJr now raging in Charleston.
I will risk my own life end not charge
for my personal services, find pledge
my reputation for this discovery, that
I will effectually arrest this fell des
troyer within ten days from the first
combustion, and for the benefit of
mankind, I would state my action in
the premises.
For the city of Charleston, I wou’d
use one ton ot gunpowder every night
for twelve consecutive nights. I
would commence at 9 o’clock p. m.,
using five pounds for every combus
tion. I would order the windows of
every bouse in the city closed, and I
would use small quantities of powder
in every room and cellar in the city.
I would order heavy concussions in
every damp lane or avenue in the city,
and in fact I wuuld hunt out the pla
ces most likely to be invested with an
imalcules, and at the end of ten days
I would ask the physicians to report
the health of the city. I think they
w’ould report not a single case of any
discription of fever in the city, and
that it would be as healthy as the
mountains.
Election Row in Putnan.
We learn that at the election in
Putnam county, on Tuesday last, to
hll the vacancy in the Legislature, oc
casioned by the death of Turner, and
also to elect certain county office] s,
quite a serious row occuitd. It ap
pears that the Sheriff arrested a color
ed man for disordc, ly conduct. A
rescue was attempted by armed ne
groes, which was resisted by a volley
from the whites, at which the negroes
fled, leaving seme six or eight of their
number wounded—one, it is suppos
ed, mortally; perhaps more In the
meantime, the law was vindicated, the
author of the trouble jailed, Dr. Eth
ridge and the whole Democratic ticket
elected. "When will our coloied friends
learn wisdom, and shake off Uje mean

ft©*" In the development of
a buu into a beautiful and full grown
flower, there is something that invites
our deepest admiration. But there is
a development surpassing this in beau
ty and grandness—the developme it of
human character. What object more
worthy our contemplation than that of
a human soul passing through each
successive stage of its existence, the
cultivation ol our intellect, and the
bringing out that which God has en
dowed 11s with ? We are born with
the germ of character within us; and
as our bodies develop themselves, so
do our character?. Some traits of
character necessarily unfold themselves
with our growth; others need to bo
stimulated and excited into growth by
some particular influence. The man
of genius has that within him which is
to stamp him as such. The great gen
eral has the foundation of generalship
born within him; all that is needed is
some powerful influence to develop it.
“Grace Greenwood.” in a letter
from Denver to the New York Times,
siys:
“Nature did antelopes an ill turn
originally in affixing to them a mark
by which they can be seen, and ‘a bead
drawn on them’ at a great distance.—
It renders them especially liable to at
tacks in the rear, which reminds me of
a little story. A small Colorado boy,
who had been playing, ran into the
house in a state of great excitement,
saying that he hud seen some antelopes
in a gulch near by. At his entreaty
his mother went out to hok at them,
but nothing of the kind was to bo
found. She became inciedulous, aud
said at last: “I don’t believe you saw
any antelopes; it must have been your
imagination, my child.” To this the
little mountaineer indignantly respoi d
ed: ‘Humph 1 I guess my imagination
isn’t white belliud !’ ”

on record is that of an inhabitant of

last will and testament was as follows;
“It is my will that any one of my re

laughs the most heartily shall be sole
heirr I shall be hung with black
