Its Cure and Its Preventive
BY J. H. SCHENCK, MT. 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
I>K. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE
TREATMENT.
and availed themselves of his wonderful effica
cious medicines, they would not have fallen.
I)r. Schcnck has in his own case proved that
wherever sufficient viridity 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. Schenck’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 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 Podophitlum Pclta
tum. They possess all the blood-searching,
alterative properties of calomel.
But unlike calomel, they
“LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,’'
Tlie 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.
Uhyliftcation 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 conies the greatest Blood Purifier over
yet given liy an indulgent father to suffering
man. Schenck’s Pulmonic Svrup comes in to
perform its functions and to hasten and com
plete the cure. It enters at once upon its work.
Nature cannot he 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 yet 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 hear, to get up a
good circulation of blood. The patients must
keep in good spirits—he 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
cautions 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 my whole
system. They soon ripened the matter in my
liings. 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 my cough,
fevei, 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 my strength,
and have grown in flesh ever since.”
“I was weighed shortly after my recovery,”
added t-lie 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 vears 1 have
“ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Sehenck has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston. He or his son,
Dr. J 11. Schcnck, Jr., still continue to see
pat ients at their office, No. 15 No rth 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 Respirometer declares the exact
condition of the lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether they are curable or not.
Tlia directions for taking the medicine are
adapted to the intelligence even of a child
Follow these dircctons, and kind nature 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 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
tnc 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 arc gone forever.
‘Dr. Schenck’s medicines arc 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 of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a
prophylacterio 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 Bills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all
druggists aud dealers.

Tiic Storm
Ixmd howled the wind, the thunder roar’d,
Fast dropped -he rain, or rather pom ’d, -
Or rather yet in tor ents dashed,
And al! Sitrtind the lightning flashed;
1 he su s, at 'twere, had fled Aom sight
Foreve , on that awful night;
The moon, it seemed, had never been,
Or never more would e’er be seen;
The Storm King ruled the dreadful hour.
With unPontdolled and mighty power;
His banne -slnack, we.a all nnfvuled,
And ovc; -s« ead the frightened yroiUl;
The night-bi "ds shrieked as by t : .iev past,
Driven owawr. and by the racing blast;
Tail tiees bowed low and moajed unheard,
And savage beasts, by iuoi ,als tea ed,
Weat howling heau'ong, sanely prest.
All owned the Storm a King con’ess’d—
The rich, Hie poo , the p oed, .be meek,
The great the wise, the s. -or g, the weak,
The eowa and, and the man ofboasfcs,
All bowed in te ro • to his hosts;
The stoutest heart beat strangely w : ld,
And humbly prayed. “God save thy child.
To Thee all honor we will give,
Drive off the demon, let us Lve.”
When, lo! behold! tho eastern sky,
Os azure b'ue and orange dye—
The sun was signing—sight sub'imo,
Though old as lioary aged time.
And cashing forth pale rays of light,
Mysterious strange—as day in night,
When bu-sting out in brighter rays,
And sparkling, flashing, like ablaze,
By which all nature seemed renewed;
The trees, the birds, the flowers, when view’d
Were doubly dyed," or tin ee.bld hired,
Yet ail combined and was subdued.
The red bird swinging on sweet briar,
Was crimson, scarlet hue or fire;
The wet green grass was twice as g. ecu.
The modest violet scarcely seen;
And peeping through the leaves between,
A purer blue, calm and serene;
The roses hanging on the stems,
Were doubly decked with spa. klrirg gems,
And bugle-flower and purp’e-beP,
Had over-flowed and downward fe’l,
Ambrosia, though, was on them stdl.
And nectar soon their cups would fill;
And saffroned-petaled lilies shone,
Reflecting back a light their own,
In pebly stream of Varying shade.
As dancing on through evev-glade,
To music which itself had made,
Pleasing to all of every grade,
With willows weeping o’er its brink,
And clipping in its joys io dr’nk.
And on its banks the eglantine,
The honey-suckle, wild-wood-bine,
And morning glories intei av nc,
A bower for nymphs or raids fine,
And butter-fPes or roaming bees,
Or humm'ag-bi-ds, and swamp jorees:
Perfumes weie mingled in the air,
Os sweetest odors everywhere;
And everything seemed pu: isled,
The sweets of all intensified;
The King of Sto-m, with mighty hand,
Had touched it all w ith magic wand,
And caused ail nature now' ,o seem.
Like some enchanted Fairy’s dicam.

Tiic Burning of Columbia, S.C.—
Wlio Did it?
A writer in the Atlanta, Ga., Plan
tation, writing over the signature of
“11. A. A.,’, says:
A few days ago I saw the announc
ment of the sudden death cf Mr. T.
8- Nickerson, the former proprietor of
Nickersons’s Hotel, at Columbia, S. C.,
and more recently in charge of the
Screven House, Savannah. I saw this
news with regret, as ho was warm
hearted, amiable and benevolent man,
and his aptitude for his profession was
remarkable. I have heard it said that
there were more men born to make
good Presidents of the United States
than there wore to be good hotel-keep
ers. Mr. Nickerson certainly was one.
During tho war, he kept the best
house in the Confederate States, and
although he was known to be a Union
ist, yet his uniform kindness to our
soldiers made him very popular. He
accumulated an independent fortune,
much of which was invested in his
hotel. When Sherman was at Dalton,
I happened to be in Columbia, and
Mr. Nickerson asked me if I thought
Siierman would ever reach Atlanta ?
I replied, “Yes.” He then said:
“Do you think he will get to Colum
bia?”
I replied: “If he ever passes Kcn
nesaw Mountain, he will sweep over
the country like the waters of a mill
dam broke loose, and tho very point he
will make for will be Columbia.”
At this Mr. Niekerson looked con
cerned, and he asked me, in a very
earnest manner, what I would advise
him to do, in such an event. Said I:
“When Sherman gets here, make
friends of the mammon of unright
eousness; place your house, your hor
ses, your wiucs, and everything else
that you havf, at his disposal, and ask
him to protect you. This is the only
course for yon to persue. This may
save you; I know of nothing else.”
In due time Sherman reached Col
umbia; the city was sacked and burn
ed, and Nickerson, like everybody else,
lost all he had. After the surrender,
at Charlotte, I was returning home,
and in passing through Columbia, call
ed on Niekerson. He was living in a
small house on the outskirt of what
was once the city. He looked hag
gard, and I may almost say despair
ing. After bidding me welcome, he
said:
“Well, Colonel, I took your advice.
When Sherman got hero, I turned
over all I had to him and his staff. I
wore myself down in waiting on them,
aud at eight o’clock in the evening I
went to my room and put on my slip
pers and threw myself on the bed for a
short nap. I had scarcely composed
myself, when Issac, whom you knew
well as my billiard-marker, came rush
ing into my room and said to me:
“Mr. Nickerson, you had better get
Mrs. Nickerson out of this hotel; they
are going to burn this town at nine
o’clock !” He says he was so bewil
dered that he simply remarked:
“Groat God, no !”
“Yes they are,” said Issac, “because
I heard General Barnes and the offi
cers say that the fire vvonld commence
at nine o’clock, while I was waiting on
them at supper.”
Nickerson said the boy’s manner
was so earnest, and his expression so
indicative of alarm, that ho rushsd
down stairs, and as he approached the
office, he saw the staff officers exarni
ing his horse blankets. “Great heav
ens, gentleman, what does this mean?”
They sueeringly replied: “We just
thought we would appropriate those.
;is you will not need them any more.”
He then went to Gen. Barnes and
begged him to save his hoftse, which
he agreed to do, and ordered a de
tachment of men to be in readiness.
Nickerson then commenced to collect
all the blankets aud had thorn satur
ated, and even procured an engine.
Sure enough,, at 9 o’clock, the rock
ets wont ap, and in ten minutes the
whole city was in flames, aud thous
and of poor women and children were
running to and fro, shrieking and
screaming in despair and alarm.
Nickerson succeeded in preventing the
flames from reaching his house for
some time, until a band of soldiers
came rushing into tho house and call
ed for him to bring out a confederate
flag which they had heard he had.
“Bring it out, d—n you, or we will
murder you.” He brought it out, and
they tramped it under foot and then
proceeded to cut the hose, and fire
his house. He said:
“In ten minutes more I was a ruin
ed man. I stood bewildered and
broken-spirited, looking upon the
charred ruins of all that was left mo
of a long life of energy and toil.”
And yet Sherman says Hampton
burned Columbia!
A Singular Case*
The followiug story showing the sa
gacity of a dog, was related by the late
Kov. Scott, D. D., the first pastor of
the Mill Creek, Beaver county Presby
terian Church. Long ago when peo
ple crossed the mountains on foot or
on horse back, Rev. Scott was coming
to the thou far oil' west to preach. One
day whilst in the mountains, he notic
ed a large dog trotting along by the
side of his horse. Supposing the dog
lost, he requested the landlord where
ho stopped next night to confine him
in the morning until lie would be some
miles ahead, hoping that he would go
back to his owner. But before noon
tho dog overtook him, and continued
to trot along by his side until a very
suspicious looking customer made his
appearance in front cf the traveler,
when tho dog at once attack ted the
high-wayman aud so alarmed him that
he protested that he meant no harm.
Mr. Scott continued his journey, men
tally determining that he would never
part with his defender. After trudg
ing along awhile, thanking Providence
for his escape, he looked for his dog,
but fonud that he had disappeared,
and he never saw him again. The
good man always regarded the ap
pearance and action of the dog as a
protecting act of heaven.

A Grievous Wrong;.
There is the soundest common sense
in the following paragraph from the
Manufacturer and Builder:
Why is it that there is such a re
pugnance on the part of parents to
putting their sous to a trade ? A skill
ed mechanic is an independent man.
Go where he will his craft will bring
him support. He need ask favors of
none. He has literally his fortune in
his own hands. YeJ, foolish parents—
ambitious that their sons should “rise
in the world” as they say—are more
willing that they should study for a
profession, with the chances of even
moderate success heavily against them,
or run the risk of spending their days
in the ignoble task of retailing dry
goods or of foiling at tho accountants
desk, than learn a trade which gives
them manly strength, health aud inde
pendence.
The Stars aud Stripes,
The truly loyal preservers of the
Union will talk to you by the hour
about the glories of the “old flag,” and
point to it as tho emblem of peace and
forgiveness, and yet these same loyal
ists are loud and lusty in their de
mands that tho flag shall be placed at
every precinct in tho South with efi
cient bayonet backing to make the
“rebels” vote the loyal ticket. If the
Stars and Stripes be an emblem of
“peace and forgiveness,” make it so
practically. It is this looking one way
and rowing another that has prevented
a complete return of peace to every
part of the Union.

Wo have cheering accounts fr on
the Churches in all parts of the coun
try. Scores and hundreds arc realiz
ing that the Gospel of Christ is “the
power of God unto salvation to every
one that believeth.” What a glorious
state of things would exist if “a
knowledge of the glory of the Lord
would cover the earth as the waters
cover the channels of the great deep.”
That happy time, we are assured, will
come, and the prayer of every Chris
tian's heart is, “May the Lord speed
the day.”
“llie fount of life shall then bo quaffed,
In peace by all who come;
And every wind that blows shall waft
Some long lost exile home.”
The Rev. Mr. Actou preached a
most excellent sermon in the Presby

The subject was, “The choice of Mo

mon, that “The choice of Moses” was
a wise one.
Dying in the Harness.
The editor of the Richmond Chris
tian Advocate was at a campmeeting
in Loudon couuty, Va., when Mr. Ro
bert White, of Georgetown, an old
and highly esteemed member of tho
Church was in attendance on Suudnv
morning experience meeting. Os him
the editor writes:
After several had borne testimony
to the grace of God in bringiug them
to the knowledge of the truth, and
keeping thorn in the way of salvation,
he arose and spoke very nearly in
those words: “Brethren, I feel that it
is good to be here. I was born in old
London, and I have come here to en
joy this campmeeting with you. Thus
far it has been a precious season to my
soul. I have been engaged in this
warfare for sixty years. During all
that time God has kept* me by his
power, and I trust I shall find grace
and strength to endure to the end of
tho warfare*”
The moment he ceased speaking,
brother Roude, one of tho preachers,
and a sweet singer, struck up tho
stanza:
“Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer though they die.”
He had barely finished those two
Hues when Mr. White fell from his
seat and was caught in the arms of a
brother who sat next to him. Ho was
borne to a tent in an insensible state,
and died a few moments after he was
laid on the bed. He was in the 80th
year of his age, aad those who new
him best spoke of him as a good man,
full of the Holy Ghost and of faith!
About midnight funeral services were
held over his remains, and they wero
then Lorno away to await the trumpet
call of tho List uay.
How sudden, and yofc how glorious
was the death of this veteran of tho
army of the Lord ! From tho midst
of his brethrn on earth, to the midst
of tho saints in heaven.
Ihe stirring strains of tho grand
battle-hymn had hardly died away be
foie he hoard the “now song before
the throne.” Tho morning of that
Sabbath was beautiful and calm, and
around the old saint wero hallowed
memories of that day in the dim past
of sixty years, when he gave his young
heart to God, and there wero about
him the sweet influences of prayer and
song that bore his spirit upward to its
eternal rest. Many die as suddenly,
few as safely.
Gambling for Church Purpose*. '
One of our exchanges gives the fol
lowing extract fr mi an eastern paper
illustrating the plea for lotteries in be
half of good objects. Our Christain
people, and especially our Christian
ladies, say, “Our object is to do no
harm in a lotterly for benevolent pur
pose.” This reminds us of a little
story in LijjpinouU: A doctor was
called in to see a patient whose native
drink was whisky. Water was pi-e
--scribed as the only cure. Pat said it
was out of the question, he never could
drink it.. Then milk was proposed,
and Pat agreed to get well on milk.—
The doctor was soon summoned again.
Near the bed on which the sick man
lay was a table and on that table a
bowl and in the bowl was milk, bnfc
strongly flavored with whiskey.
“What have you here,” said doctor.—
‘Milk, doctor; just what you orthered.’
T3ut there’s whiskey in it; I smell it’
‘Well, doctor,’ sighed the patient,
“there may be whiskey in it, but milk’s
my object.” There may be sin in
gambling but the otyecl is good ! Mis
erable morality is that
Haity and Unconscious. —Among
